Hi, we have some serious concerns about the page. Our client is a world wide performer when he travels to some regions he receives threats due to his origin. We want information of his origin from Infobox and introduction. Just remove the country and city. Thank you.

@ATSforce:, the best way is that if you or your client contacts WP:OTRS and sends a request there.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:18, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I don't know the procedure but I'll try. ATSforce (talk) 16:39, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

The template at that page explains how to contact the service.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:47, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
It is not so recognizable in the article; the place to start for finding how to send a request to OTRS is the "Contact us" page: Wikipedia:Contact us. Geoff | Who, me? 17:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the template I mentioned actually refers to that page.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:05, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Ymblanter and Glane23: I have declined the OTRS ticket, as I feel that the inclusion of the above-mentioned information (the origin of the band) is found in multiple reliable sources and thus should not be removed. However, I am willing to discuss the matter further here in order to gain a consensus. Primefac (talk) 19:57, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
I do not know an OTRS protocol, but is there an option that the office action could be taken by WMF? If not, indeed, I do not see how the text can be removed.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:59, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
We can remove the text if the band or its representatives can get the origin information expunged from available reliable sources. This isn't as far-fetched as it sounds. I once handled an OTRS ticket from an actress in another country who didn't want her birth date shown. My advice was basically "once it's on the internet, it's there forever." However, to my surprise, a couple months later, the sources cited for her birth date stopped including it. Eventually no sources could be found for that information except those derived from the original Wikipedia article... so the birth date was removed from the Wikipedia article. Something similar could conceivably happen here. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:42, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
And, the expunge must happen with the RS clearly stating something along the lines of their's committing an error or any other valid reason (respecting the rights of subject etc.). Otherwise, anyone may choose to re-add the information based on archived copies available over the web.Winged BladesGodric 16:22, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
From my observations, apparently archive.org will take down archived copies of pages by request of the owner. I can't say this for sure, but I've observed situations where that seemed to be the case. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

So the band is about to release a new album with a rich history behind making it, I would love to add some sections and fix some non-standard Wikipedia formatting. Ahmed Alharbi (talk) 12:05, 3 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
