Talk:David Bitel

This article needs to be reorganised

Currently the article reads like a journalistic article focussing on the rape allegations, and I've had to remove material which looks like it is aimed at smearing living people. However, Bitel's notability is not that he was accused of rape, but that he was a prominent lawyer and refugee campaigner. As such, the article needs to detail his life and establish his notability, and deal with the rape allegations in a specific section.

And please, for the love of God, read WP:BLP. Bitel may be dead, but several people named in versions of this article are not.OsFish (talk) 07:03, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Also, please read the policy on having no original research in articles. Unless something has been mentioned in secondary sources as noteworthy (such as commentary about his receiving awards in spite of the awarding organisation knowing about the allegations), it is original research, and in some cases, may be legally defamatory.OsFish (talk) 07:07, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Anyway, I've now cleaned up as much as I can.OsFish (talk) 07:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Probable AI generated content

Hi - I added the AI generated tag here as the edits by Bookleo are almost certainly AI-generated; one of their diffs elsewhere around this time period left in the chatbot response. The text displays many signs of LLM use and thus needs review for accuracy, sourcing, tone, etc. Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:57, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

I rewrote most of the article and removed the tags. The career section could use some expansion but LLM problems are resolved NicheSports (talk) 01:11, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
