Should the Blackface allegations be removed?
editCurrently there exists a portion of text underneath the 'Tenure' section of Governor Coopers Wikipedia Page in which it mentions his call for Governor Northam to step down after pictures of Blackface surfaced of him while also bringing up false allegations that he himself engaged in Blackface. Given that these allegations have been determined to be false should that text be removed? Aside from the information being false it also has nothing to do with his tenure as Governor.

- Yes, absolutely, I'm removing it now. A hoax perpetrated by the WP:DAILYMAIL is WP:BLPGOSSIP, even worse if disproven. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
