Menudo Sex and Drug Scandal

The section claims reports from Entertainment Tonight, CNN, etc. I cannot find any online corroboration for this. As such, I am removing it for now. A fan site isn't a reliable source and that is all there is for now. If new sourced can be found, it can be reinstated. IrishGuy 00:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

The NY Times link is a valid link and corroborates that two members were arrested with drugs and subsequently released from the band. The PDFs from the fan site aren't reliable. The scan from The Globe doesn't show a date or even that it is from The Globe. IrishGuy 00:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

All information was sourced documents and is not a fan site. The articles are original sourced articles. The external link is information on the Menudo scandal. Just because this is negative does not mean history gets changed. This is fact not fiction. Any removal of the information will mean a telephone call to to Mr. Wales to block this vandalism. --Blue5864 (talk) 02:31, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Threats aren't a good idea. When many administrators discuss the issue (as per here this thread) and one of said administrators removed the content it isn't vandalism. IrishGuy 03:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
The paragraph absolutely does not belong. Tabloids are not reliable sources. A tabloid, referenced on a personal website, is about as far from reliable as it is possible to get. Thank you, Antandrus (talk) 03:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Requested edit

Can an admin again please remove the External link at the bottom of the page that says: History of Menudo Gay Sex Scandal" as this is an unsubstantiated and misleading link to a fansite (www.menudo.biz) which eventually leads to a 17-year-old tabloid alleged report.

Thank you. Christopher R (talk) 10:01, 8 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopher R (talk • contribs) 09:57, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

According to Dreaded Walrus, this was done prior but somehow was allowed to be reinserted. Christopher R (talk) 10:01, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I removed the link earlier today (as well as a link that redirects to the same page as another link), but it was reverted by a now-blocked user, and User:Irishguy just removed the section in question. I didn't notice the links were still in the article until Christopher R requested the links be removed again on his talk page.
So yes, I would like to second this request for an edit to a protected page. --Dreaded Walrus 15:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Removed. IrishGuy 16:40, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks muchly. :) --Dreaded Walrus 16:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
