Talk:David Cameron (rower)

Personal information

Many biographies include some information about the families of the subject of the article. While this Information is often innocuous, many people are becoming concerned about such information due to privacy concerns. we always have to balance the desire to have a more complete discussion of the individual's life against legitimate privacy concerns. That can become especially true when the information being added most beyond mere factual recitation of information about family members and start becoming more gossip, unrelated to the central reason that the subject has a biography.

We don't yet have formal guidelines, but there is an essay which speaks to some of these issues: Wikipedia:On privacy, confidentiality and discretion. I recently removed some material from this article. I request that if editors feel it belongs in the article, that they open up a discussion on this page so that we can reach a consensus rather than simply reverting.--S Philbrick(Talk) 20:53, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
