each instance of the term Black Lives Matters links to the BLM movement, and no links (unless i am mistaken) to the organization she founded. this should be remedied unless there is some reason that i am unaware of. 173.87.173.6 (talk) 02:23, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. The last time this was discussed, there simply weren't any WP:RSes covering it - which sources do you think we could use? --Aquillion (talk) 05:45, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is ample evidence in many, many sources about these disturbing allegations. New disclosures have come to light and it seems that it is being ignored here on WP in what could be construed as "protection" for BLM. How about these sources? Do any of them work?^[1], ^[2], ^[3], ^[4], ^[5], ^[6], ^[7], ^[8], ^[9].

This line "She said that her resignation had nothing to do with attempts to discredit her" is kind of confusing without any indication of anyone saying anything bad about her in the article.

It's not necessary to give a supporting source for these allegations, just to describe what was going on that at the very least got a response from her. Otherwise it probably doesn't make sense to mention her talking about the attempts to discredit her if those attempts are not notable.

Given Snopes says In 2021, we found no evidence that Cullors had used donated money to buy the homes cited by Dirt and the New York Post, and noted that Cullors, a public figure with multiple ventures, had her own sources of wealth it's truly remarkable that this BLP has the text It later emerged that almost exactly one year later, revelations of another, larger real estate purchase, this time by the foundation, sparked fresh controversy referenced by it. Should anyone wish to come up with an actual neutrally written addition they are welcome to propose one. FDW777 (talk) 18:20, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I could not confirm this source said she had purchased another home. Slatersteven (talk) 18:23, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I refer again to WP:ONUS, The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content. FDW777 (talk) 18:44, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Plus as i have tried to add, If anyone actually looks at the article the editor is using as a source regarding this particular property. The article does not say Cullors purchased this new property. But the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGN) purchased it as an intended for studio space and housing for recipients of the Black Joy Creators Fellowship. Plus Cullors was/is no longer the executive director of the organisation. This just another attempt at ineptly throwing dirt. ~ BOD ~ ^TALK 21:17, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The NY Mag article says she was present at the property in question, discussing a previous property purchase during a live stream "a few days" before she resigned as executive director of BLMGNF. I think whether or not she was the one who signed the contract in the name of BLMGNF is irrelevant. Put in blunt terms; she was the executive director at the time and she is thereby either directly involved or severely mismanaged access to the organizations assets.

Furthermore I've seen this mentioned in plenty of places. Since I'm from Sweden and still read about it in part through local news sources, this is now as an international story. MrPorpoise (talk) 02:47, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have visited the Tower of London, I do not own it. I would need an RS to say I did. Do these sources say she owns it? Slatersteven (talk)

Forgive my tone but that sounds like a rather bizarre statement, what bearing does that have on the conversation? MrPorpoise (talk) 01:05, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As per your request for consensus according WP:ONUS: I vote for inclusion of this currently reverted proposal in the article, with a ref cleanup (7 sources for 2 sentences is borderline ridiculous and not even an IPA should expect that to stick). As mentioned in the above reply, this is now an international headline and therefore it is my opinion that this qualifies under WP:DUE.

I would also like to point IPAs to WP:TALKDONTREVERT; do not revert edits because you don't agree with them and don't engage in WP:EW. We all want Wikipedia to be the best it can be, and we need to calmly work together in order to achieve that goal. MrPorpoise (talk) 02:47, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ONUS, verifiability doesn't guarantee inclusion so it's no use pointing to references. Especially when there's no clear relevance to the biograsphy of Patrisse Cullors. FDW777 (talk) 06:49, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm well aware verifiability doesn't guarantee inclusion, but that's more a statement of fact than an argument. What does speak for inclusion however is the merit of significance. This is an international story with mainstream coverage, therefore I stand by my opinion that this situation is significant enough for inclusion. MrPorpoise (talk) 01:05, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which source says she owns it? Slatersteven (talk)

Probably very few since BLMGNF legally owns the asset from what I can tell. The proposed text from the IPA doesn't make any such claim either under what I would consider a reasonable interpretation. Can you please clarify what the point of your question is, are you suggesting some rewording of the proposed text? MrPorpoise (talk) 01:05, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So it's of no relevance to a biography of Patrisse Cullors then. FDW777 (talk) 07:06, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to say that, this page is not about BLM it is about Patrisse Cullors. We can't imply guilt by association that is not (explicitly) made by RS. Even then wp:blp is clear that serious allegations of wrongdoing can only be included if they are backed up by some really good RS. So unless RS say she brought them it is not relevant to this article. Slatersteven (talk) 11:29, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Patrisse Cullors was the acting executive director of BLMGNF at the time, which is why this asset acquisition belongs on this page instead of the BLM page, just like the previous one already accepted by consensus in the article. Acquisition of the asset in question is not necessarily endorsed by the BLM movement as a whole and this disconnect between BLM and BLMGNF is even clarified in the NPR article. In other words; it's undeniably relevant to her and BLMGNF. This isn't guilt by association either; there are multiple consensus-approved WP:RSPSS (NRP, The Independent, The Telegraph, and those are just the ones in the proposed edit) directly implicating her in the acquisition itself. Again, even if we say she weren't the one who held the pen when the contract was signed by BLMGNF she was still the one who was ultimately responsible for management of the BLMGNF funds. Finally, if you do not believe proposed edit satisfies WP:BLP then feel free to vote no on the proposed edit, this vote has become a lot noisier than it needs to be, and from my perspective this amount of back-and-forth is really not helping your side of the argument either. MrPorpoise (talk) 17:03, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please read wp:or and wp:synthesis, we need RS saying it, using their words. Do any of them accuse her of buying this? Slatersteven (talk) 10:46, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is ample evidence in many sources about these disturbing allegations. New disclosures have come to light and it seems that it is being ignored here on WP in what could be construed as "protection" for BLM. How about these sources? Do any of them work?^[1], ^[2], ^[3], ^[4], ^[5], ^[6], ^[7], ^[8], ^[9]. 108.34.231.7 (talk) 03:54, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Immediately going to give a big no to Fox News, NYpost and WaEx, and a HUGE no to the Daily Mail, per Wikipedia:Perennial sources. Independent, Snopes and NY Mag are generally respectable. No consensus on Jezebel. No information on KHOU. Overall the incident is notable. A bigger question would be “what does this incident specifically have to do with Patrisse Cullors?” Dronebogus (talk) 05:31, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The big problem of course being that Snopes doesn't say what people would like it to say, using phrases such as In 2021, we found no evidence that Cullors had used donated money to buy the homes cited by Dirt and the New York Post, and noted that Cullors, a public figure with multiple ventures, had her own sources of wealth. For example, Cullors co-authored the New York Times bestseller book “When They Call You a Terrorist,” and had struck a deal with Warner Brothers to help the network develop programming and Almost exactly one year later, revelations of another, larger real estate purchase, this time by the foundation, sparked fresh controversy. So Snopes does not reference a 2022 controversy that needs to be added to this biography. The same applies to several of the other references I bothered to check. Should someone be willing to come up with a suggested addition to this article with appropriate references I would be willing to consider it, but I'm not going to waste my time reading any more articles that have no direct relevance to Patrisse Cullors. FDW777 (talk) 07:29, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We are discussing these new allegations above. Slatersteven (talk) 10:45, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You see? There seems to be an intention to protect this person by not even considering more recent sources such as the new Snopes article which, by the way, acknowledges their past reporting and confirms that Mrs. Cullors DID buy this house. The relevant Snopes source states: "But in the 2022 Intelligencer report, Black Lives Matter movement leaders indirectly acknowledged that Cullors had purchased homes...".

Also, why a big no to Fox when MSNBC, NBC, Vice, and HuffPo are included in the main articles sources? See here^[10] where Fox themselves complain at the lack of "legacy media" coverage when NY Mag did a great job of obtaining all the needed paperwork to prove that Mrs. Cullors is benefiting from a $6 million mansion purchase financed by the BLM nonprofit. Of note, NY Mag is considered a liberal publication. 108.34.231.7 (talk) 15:48, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

YOu need to go to wp:rsn and ask that. As it was at RSN that the community decoded these were (or were not) RS. Slatersteven (talk) 15:50, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Patrisse Cullors purchased property. Using her own money. Not Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation money. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation purchased property. Property that belongs to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Not Patrisse Cullors. There is no 2022 controversy, except by those who seek to smear. FDW777 (talk) 15:59, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So, Mr. FDW777, per your accusations, NY Mag, Snopes, Jezebel, and The Independent, all liberal publications, are "smearing" Mrs. Cullors? Also, Fox News, Washington Examiner, and otheds considered "conservative", right? Have you even read from your recently quoted Snopes that even they admitted to be wrong about Mrs. Cullors using a nonprofits money for her multimillion-dollar real estate purchases? There are many good, reliable sources here. We need to prevent this kind of openly biased WP editor from touching this article. This needs to be escalated to an Admin. It is sad the amount of stonewalling some editors will do to protect this one Mrs. Cullors. Even Jezebel, an ultra-liberal publication, stated that "We Want Answers. Allies are asking for transparency as the organization is accused of misusing donation funds." This has been referenced earlier in this thread. I repeat, this is status quo stonewalling and needs the attention of an Admin. 108.34.231.7 (talk) 16:28, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
