Wikileaks and business interests[edit]

I have left the business interests in here as notable, but the details of tis contracts can go on that page, it doesnt effect him. Unless you have a citation alleging he fraudulently got the contract.

As for wikileaks, that is notable for the wikileaks pages, here it is BLP as its the mere opinion of the us embassy staff. IF it is fact then a more neutral citations NOT from wikileaks is appropriate.Lihaas (talk) 18:41, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By removing this content you have removed contnet that is required to make this article an accurate account of Abrahamyan. What do you meant that it is not "neutral"? And the BLP advice says nothing about not placing properly sourced opinions from relevant persons into blp articles. Please stop repeating blp, blp, blp, as if just saying those three letters and nothing else means you n on't need to give actual explanations. The content of the cables have been mentioned in other sources, but I felt it better to give the direct quotes with the direct links to the actual cables. Or would you actually rather I add a second layer of "opinions" - persons writing their opinions about persons writing their opinions about Abrahamyan? Opinions about Abrahamyan are essential because they reveal why he has attained the position that makes him notable. Such facts will not be found in official government press releases or websites or biographies given the government control of media in Armenia. With the exception of government controlled media outlets you will not find any commentators praising Abrahamyan or his appointment. I find it amusing you decided to keep the "mouse" trivia, his dubious explanation of its origin. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:06, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BLP is not about adding sourced content, its about attribution, reliability, etc. I jave explained the detailed reasons here and not just parroting "three letters".

No, they are OPINIONS of someone else, that belongs on their page. That is not relevant to him as its not verified that their OPINION is truth. We don't publich a list of individual opinions here, we present facts. It could then well be published outside Armenia if there are other such Armenians with a similar opinion as yours that citicise it. So far, the US is not god os gospel.

That is the word from the horse's mouth...and its in the personal life section. But if you want to then remove it.

And per BRD when your addition was challenged you have to discuss and gain consensus BEFROE adding it back instead of edit warring that will get you a block.Lihaas (talk) 12:32, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
