Talk:Cas Anvar

Years active

The page currently says he was an actor as an actor from 1988 to 2021. While I would love it if this was so, I haven’t seen any statement that he is retiring and being dropped doesn’t necessarily mean his career is over. Do we have any good source for this? Eta: I noticed after posting this that it was a recent change by an anonymous user, so I went ahead and reverted it. If there’s a good argument for it, let’s discuss.

Equally, is there anything to show that he has ever been convicted of a crime rather than just faced otherwise unproven allegations? Neith-Nabu (talk) 11:09, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

I agree with User:Sdfisher; there's no indication that his career is factually over (although it wouldn't surprise me if there are somewhere that opine his career is over, maybe even rhetorically using that phrase). Unless there's some indication that he's retired (whether a statement or whether he's one of those actors who have just gone onto other non-acting careers), we should not ourselves declare his career over.

User:Neith-Nabu, do you see anything in the article that says or implies he's a criminal? I agree it should not be there, but don't see it, either in text or categories. TJRC (talk) 17:59, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

It's an inference, mostly when linked to the claim that his career is over. This is an exceptionally murky area, and one that editors have to be VERY careful with! Neith-Nabu (talk) 18:34, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

OK, no argument there. It sounds like we have a consensus that unless there is reliable reporting that he has retired or left the industry (or, I guess, someday, died), "Years active" should continue to indicate "1988–present". Without altering any reader-facing text, I've added a comment to the page, which I hope will reduce the edits. TJRC (talk) 19:04, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

I just want to note that I appreciated both the discussion and the invisible annotation about this. This was a great example to me of how Wikipedia is supposed to work, and my hat is off to both of you. Steven Fisher (talk) 22:42, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Misconduct allegations

If the misconduct allegations were not proven, it is not clear that should section be present at this time since this is a murky area where the rule of law and due process should presumably be respected. Is the Wikipedia policy for such things clear? 174.92.227.58 (talk) 01:53, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

That’s why they are called allegations. This is not a criminal investigation, or a civil proceeding, what rule of law are you referring to? 142.113.163.152 (talk) 01:01, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Are they well-sourced? They seem to be. Oh, IP142, it's time for you to stop vandalizing the article. Drmies (talk) 01:04, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
