There has been some edit warring on this article today. Per WP:STATUS QUO I have returned it to the previous version and would suggest that discussion should take place. I have warned one user who was at 3RR and if they revert again, I will file a report for edit warring. - SchroCat (talk) 20:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I support the current version of the article. The information attempted to be added today by the new editor, regarding a supposed relationship of VanderWaal's clearly violates WP:BLP, as the source cited is not a WP:RS. Indeed, the only evidence that such a relationship exists is an assertion by a person on Tik-Tok that he is dating VanderWaal. This person has made numerous such claims on social media in the past, but there is no evidence that his claims are true. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:24, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the ONUS is on those trying to include the information. The editor has been blocked. The article is under partial protection to prevent sockpuppets from continuing the edit war. --Hipal (talk) 21:04, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
