Requested move 18 September 2017
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: pages moved. Andrewa (talk) 16:51, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
– Only subject with an article. Unreal7 (talk) 12:03, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support. Seems obvious. There's been a lot of buzz (for better or for worse) about this fella lately too, so it seems unlikely that the other articleless subjects are somehow more notable. Nohomersryan (talk) 20:58, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support Enigmamsg 04:01, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Twitter antics
An audience which never watched kickboxing has been made aware of Tate by his provocative comments on Twitter, which can be classed as conservative, to put it lightly. There is some coverage of this but not extended enough for it to be considered a key part of his personal life (WP:RECENTISM). He's not quite at Martin Shkreli's level of having significant coverage in this regard. Anarcho-authoritarian (talk) 22:13, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
Height
In youtube video called "Why Islamic extremism is a Muslim problem" Andrew states he is 6 foot 5 (195cm). Is there a more reliable source for his height stated in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zivkovic.ante (talk • contribs) 21:32, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Undermining Social Distancing
He is a very close friend of Alex Jones & Paul Watson, they are working together in undermining Social Distancing & spreading Bill Gates conspiracy theories. Example: [1] [2]ToddGrande (talk) 07:03, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- I think both brothers are full of crap, and the other one is extremist. Cobra could be spiritual if he would want to. Yet again they do have the brain, but going to the school accomplish you. Their Tate Confidential vlog channel is quite good though, if you are already an adult. Some theories, are not even conspiracies, so it is a pity today proofs are linked to Bill Gates scenarios and so on. I think some are not arguments in their case. Otherwise Hillary is promoting the abortion worldwide and that's the evidence of killing. This word (conspiracy theory) was invented to laugh about proofs, to mock bad truths. And in an opposite case, it is just false info, lying or crap. .karellian-24 (talk) 22:16, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Kickboxing record
The infobox said he has 53 fights (44 wins, 9 losses). The number is either incorrect or unsourced. This Luton Today article says his 2009 fight against Randle was his 17th win out of 19 matches. This is consistent with the table, which shows 2 losses before Randle. So that would make his latest fight (against Ahmeti in 2020) his 34th win out of 42 matches. I've updated the info accordingly.

Added Twitter 2022 Ban
The 2021 ban was of the unverified account, the 2022 was of the verified new account Soylicious (talk) 05:49, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Might be noteworthy to mention that he's actively evading said ban via multiple alts and retweet accounts. 107.0.12.249 (talk) 17:56, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

"See also" section
Whoever is responsible for the current entries under "See also" – I salute you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A04:4540:205:B400:DECC:6229:D036:D819 (talk) 12:14, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Bias
This seems very promotional and biased and neglects to mention the extreme, and i mean extreme, misogyny he now makes his money from. Also doesn't mention his webcam studio which he claims has made him a multimillionaire by virtue of grooming his girlfriends. Also doesn't make use of any information from the source cited for "misogynistic comments." The title of the article is a quote saying women bear some responsibility for being raped. I think this page needs to be seriously revised or deleted. 2601:182:CA02:5A30:DD13:772F:7D6C:B90C (talk) 03:14, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

I would like to change the page to its unvandalised stage before 12 July Here is how it should look: https://web.archive.org/web/20220630075356/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Tate Ivoivic (talk) 00:56, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Not Done Looks like someone already restored that version for some reason. FrederalBacon (talk) 07:30, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Edit war
I am not engaging in an edit war, I will not revert again, but this is clearly a POV push, since the users are now restoring the exact version that DOZENS of unsigned IP comments asked for. FrederalBacon (talk) 07:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- And, once again this is the edit where the IP, saying they are asking on behalf of the article subject, to remove controversial content, including calling for the page ban of the user who added it. The removal of the content is CLEARLY a POV push. FrederalBacon (talk) 07:56, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- I never saw that comment and nor where my actions in response to that. Not very assuming good faith HeinzMaster (talk) 07:58, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Popoki is currently engaging in an edit war, I will not continue this behaviour. However it should be noted that this is another case of Popoki edit warring. I think something should be done about his continued behaviour in this manner. HeinzMaster (talk) 07:56, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- I have good faith concerns about the reliability and completeness of sourcing used in the versions you are restoring. Of course content can belong within the page and be re-introduced, but it must be backed up by in-line citations to reliable sources. Popoki35 (talk) 08:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Nice job trying to get the admins to intervene. I actually didn't edit it after your warning, so It just seems like you are trying to be spiteful. Also somewhat question your "good faith", as you tried to get the page of the subjects father deleted and were the lone voice trying to delete the page for one of the pioneers of Black chess players. Anywho, like I said, I will not continue in this personal battle of yours over removal of content on this page. Have a nice day. HeinzMaster (talk) 08:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- That looks a lot like a personal attack to me. FrederalBacon (talk) 08:14, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Saying someone is spiteful is not a "personal attack". However, you have accused me of acting on behalf of some nameless IPs to remove controversial content on the page, an accusation that was without evidence as all my edits left the controversial content you speak off. That accusation can be seen as personal attack to some. HeinzMaster (talk) 08:17, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Tell me what you meant by "were the lone voice trying to delete the page for one of the pioneers of Black chess players". FrederalBacon (talk) 08:19, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Emory Tate was an important figure in the African American chess community and one of the best at his time. I was simply stating that his actions in that discussion showed some personal bias affecting his decisions. You can take a look for yourself. However, as I have stated multiple times before, I will not be partaking in Popeki's attempt to draw out an edit war, an action I have to once again point out he has a history of partaking in.Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emory Tate HeinzMaster (talk) 08:22, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- A simple no vote casts aspersions on his bias, but not you restoring a version of an article with THIS as the cite that "the charges were dropped" :"These are the proofs that the Tate brothers did not kidnap the American woman, especially since the two are surrounded daily by beautiful women, they are extremely rich and they own cars worth over 10 million euros." Does that sounds like a trustworthy source to you? FrederalBacon (talk) 08:32, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- My issue with the article was Popeki removing the whole kickboxing record. I did not care here or there about the controversies involved with the subject. This is also the first time you are bringing up some specific issue, should have been more clear or just fixed the specific issue instead of reverting the whole thing. I would have had no issues if you included content that made the subject look bad or whatnot. HeinzMaster (talk) 08:37, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- You claimed Popeki had a bias, in a couple of different places, why accuse him of bias (and specifically accused him of bias against this subject based on one vote on an AfD) if all you care about is the kickboxing record? You could have restored the kickboxing record ten times over in the time it's taken to argue in the talk page, and, while it's not sourced, I don't think anyone would really care enough to revert it outright. FrederalBacon (talk) 08:47, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- The issue was not the inclusion of a kickboxing record. I do contend that it needs to be appropriately sourced for inclusion in a BLP. I'd suggest that WP:BRD is a good tool for these kind of disputes. I removed content because WP:RS says:
If the content can be reliably sourced (in other words, the editor reintroducing meets their WP:BURDEN, it can be reintroduced. If the reliability of the sources is contentious, it can be discussed here on the talk page or taken up with other editors at noticeboards. (BTW, I came across that separate deletion discussion—which I did not initiate—while editing this page and added my two cents about the reasons offered in support of notability. It was my opinion, and I didn't care much about it either way.) Popoki35 (talk) 08:52, 14 July 2022 (UTC)Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.
- Oh I know. I requested full protection for BLP issues. It's been 3 days since the edits you made, autoconfirmed is coming. All those edit requests that were popping up, that stopped as soon as the talk page was protected, are going to be showing up as straight up edits soon. I almost left a note on your talk to that effect last night, but I figured you knew what was coming. FrederalBacon (talk) 08:57, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Really muddied the waters with that supposed plan by reporting it straight to the admins, even tho I didn't make any changes after your warning about edit warring. How now in good faith am I supposed to make any changes to the article since you can just say you disagree and revert them, accusing me of continuing the edit warring? HeinzMaster (talk) 09:00, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- At this point, all three of us are on WP:3RR restrictions. None of us can revert to dispute the content of the page right now. And I'm not even sure, this person might fall under discretionary sanctions for Post-1992 US politics. FrederalBacon (talk) 09:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- "Post-1992 US politics"? Care to expand? HeinzMaster (talk) 09:09, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- It's an Arb Com thing. I'd read through their decisions at the end (and all of their discretionary sanctions decisions), there's a lot of them it covers...well, a good chuck of articles across the site. IDK if this subject would apply, due to the link to the former US president. FrederalBacon (talk) 09:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Ahh okay, Well I think all of this was a big misunderstanding. I was not aware of the previous issues going on with the article or people connected to Tate requesting stuff. I was not trying to cover up or make pretty some of the controversies involving the subject. I apologize if I offended you in any manner. HeinzMaster (talk) 09:25, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

- I tried to restore the kickboxing record, but you reverted it completely. I was not aware I was changing some controversies involving Tate. Popeki has tho decided to unnecessarily escelate this to the admins, so I would rather not change this article anymore. Hence why I am discussing it here with you instead of restoring the "kickboxing record ten times over". Popeki has decided that Romanian and kickboxing sources for some reason aren't valid and hence has removed most of Tate's kickboxing record. HeinzMaster (talk) 08:54, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- The issue was not the inclusion of a kickboxing record. I do contend that it needs to be appropriately sourced for inclusion in a BLP. I'd suggest that WP:BRD is a good tool for these kind of disputes. I removed content because WP:RS says:

Edit request
Anarchyte, please change lead sentence: "...regarding his brutally honest and controversial views" to "regarding his treatment of women and public comments about sexual assault and sexual harassment." The current version is unsubstantiated and contains WP:OR. The previous version summarized information in the body and is supported by an article in The Independent.[1] At the very least, "brutally honest" has plain issues with WP:NPOV. Popoki35 (talk) 10:30, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

- I agree with the removal of "brutally honest" per NPOV and BIO, but I do not want to substantially change the lede while it is fully protected. I could change it to "regarding his controversial views", which seems to be supported by the Independent. Would this be sufficient? Anarchyte (talk) 10:36, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Anarchyte, I agree that "brutally honest and" should be removed during this protection while any other changes should require a clear consensus. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:17, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Article Content Dispute
Considering the above conversation could be essentially considered done now that the page has been locked, we should create a new clean space to evaluate what is going on here.
Background
User:Popoki35 went through the page three days ago and removed unsourced content, and included new information about something controversial that was already on the page, including removing a questionable source regarding its resolution, and giving more information about the incident from the one source that was there. They also removed a bunch of gossip site sources about another controversial incident, and included more information from the reliable sources. Their overall differences are shown here.
The Edit War
About 7 hours after the final edit to the page, semi-protected edit requests started coming into the talk page. They started with claims of vandalism, specifically asking the editor involved to stop, and then just snowballed. There were even one such edit request that claimed to be asking on behalf of the article subject, and asking for the editor who added the information to be page banned. There was absolute puffery, another one who claimed to know how the subject felt about the edits.
I came in to respond to a SPER, and saw all of this. I wound up removing most of it outright as clearly not constructive (and most of it not even worthy of a response, I'm not responding to someone who asks on behalf of the articles subject to remove controversial content). I'm guessing User:ScottishFinnishRadish agreed with me, since they did the same a little while later. It was a flood of requests.
There was a request for a specific version to be restored. Eventually, the talk page was semi-protected due to disruption. There were probably around 20 edit requests from various registered editors and IPs to remove the changes.
Just before the talk was locked, User:GhostmanJohn reverted to the previous version. It was then reverted by Popoki. A short while laterA couple of days later, it was restored again by User:HeinzMaster. I then reverted it with a good faith note, explaining what was going on in the page, in case they thought it was indeed vandalism. HeinzMaster then reverted again to their version. At that point, I reverted for the second time for BLP POV removal issues, and requested full protection. HeinzMaster then, for a third time reverted back to the original page. That was then reverted back by Popoki. There is one violation of WP:3RR, but for the most part, the edit war then ended and it was taken to talk, where the above conversation took place, which was unorganized, so let's sum it up below.
Combat Records
Both editors who reverted back to the former version of the page claimed to be taking onus with the removal of the records. We will assume good faith that that is their true intent, and address it. As discussed above, as the content was either unsourced, or sourced with self-published sources(looking through, I see a lot of blogs and personal news webpages), Popoki35 felt they were within guidelines to remove it. Per policy, the the burden to prove the source's verifiability is on the editor adding it. FrederalBacon (talk) 17:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Appreciate the summation. Combat records certainly seem appropriate for the page if someone is interested in finding good sources for them and including citations. Popoki35 (talk) 08:25, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, thanks for the summation. I reverted in good faith because the source used seemed good to me.
- I will be looking for more sources to support the claims since, in all transparency, I'm looking to revert most of it or what is possible. However, I'll do it the right way. GhostmanJohn (talk) 19:51, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Revert most of what, the page to the way it was, or the combat records? Because I don't think properly sourced combat records would be controversial, he is a fighter after all. FrederalBacon (talk) 22:13, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
Net worth
His net worth should be added 68.203.230.229 (talk) 19:28, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 09:23, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
Update Subheading: Controversies
The subheading "private life" should be "Controversies" as with other biographies. None of them are about his personal life. Thalia42 (talk) 21:06, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

I think this article needs improvement. To me, and probably many others, it is structured incorrectly, worded poorly and has a insufficient amount of data.
Firstly, I think the quote "In 2017 he made some controversial tweets regarding sexual assault and sexual harassment, including that women should "take some personal responsibility" if they put themselves "in a position to be raped"." should be positioned in a new controversy section, or, change the 'personal life' section as (previously pointed out,) it consists of mainly controversial comments.
Furthermore, I think there should be a new section added, family - or family relations, where there could be information about Andrew's father and brother, Tristan. It could also include more distant relations and his relations with them.
Overall, I think that the overall composition of the article should be changed, and more catogories added. Thiccduck60 (talk) 21:29, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Combat Records
At this point, no editor who wanted the combat records has made any attempt to source the material. I have removed it as unsourced BLP information.

Article Content Dispute II
In the recent days I have made changes to the article which all have been reverted. I will explain why we should keep the changes I made.
Here you can see the changes I made: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew_Tate&type=revision&diff=1101050105&oldid=1101039788
Point #1: On line 32 you can see that I changed the title, because the current title is simply factually incorrect. He did NOT gain popularity from his statements on sexual assault. He gained popularity from his statements on a wide array of issues INCLUDING sexual assault. The cited article doesn't support the current title, it says that he gained popularity after being on the show Big Brother, not from his tweets on sexual assault. As such, this means that the current title has failed verification and should be changed to my version or removed. The title simply isn't suitable for a BLP and isn't NPOV, as it tries to paint the person as a rapist.
Point #2: On line 46 I expanded on the domestic violence controversy, adding that the women has also said that the actions were consensual. For some reason this also was removed, even though I added a completely reliable source, which was from the UK tabloid The Daily Mirror. Here is the cited article: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/andrew-tates-ex-sets-record-8213969
Point #3: As you can see I removed the section which claims that Andrew Tate moved to Romania, because "it's easier to rape women there". Again this is simply factually incorrect. Firstly you can't even see the video on the cited article. Secondly, that's not even what he said in the video. Here is the video in question. As you can see, he did not say that it's easier to get away with rape there, he said that it's easier for women to falsely accuse you of rape in western countries. BIG difference. As such, the statement should be removed or changed. Mst5506 (talk) 13:46, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Mst5506: Re point 1: There is also a big change in the tone from your change, where instead of stating he gained "notoriety", you change it to "popularity".Re point 2: Do you have a better source than the Daily Mirror, one whose reliability is not questioned? There is not a consensus on the DM per WP:Perennial sources, although it notes "There is no consensus on whether its reliability is comparable to that of British tabloids such as the Daily Mail and The Sun." —C.Fred (talk) 15:32, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
- @C.Fred: I wouldn't say he's notorious, but if you want you can keep the word "notoriety".
- I think that's a bit pedantic. The article contains the video in which the girl announces that they were "playing a game", so the source doesn't matter, you can see the girl's face in the video. I would argue that The Tab (reference 7) is much less reliable than The Daily Mirror, as the article about Andrew Tate is heavily biased (WP:BIASEDSOURCES). Cosmopolitan (reference 6) also has no consensus on it's reliability. The Daily Beast (reference 8) also has a questioned reliability, especially for biased opinions and articles on living persons. (from WP:Perennial sources) "There is no consensus on the reliability of The Daily Beast. Most editors consider The Daily Beast a biased or opinionated source. Some editors advise particular caution when using this source for controversial statements of fact related to living persons." Mst5506 (talk) 18:10, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
- I think a major issue here is the attempt to do original research by Wikipedia editors. The standard for inclusion on Wikipedia is verifiability. We don't get into the weeds of throwing out sources because of how you personally interpret a primary source as you do above. Popoki35 (talk) 05:32, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Popoki35 This is not a matter of interpretation. I think I have made everything very clear. I will now change the article to my version. Thank you. Mst5506 (talk) 14:12, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Create multiple new sun-sections
The wiki page is very disorganised as too many editors are adding edits, which reads very biased depending largely on whether a positive or negative view is held against the individual.
The entire page needs to be characterised with new subcategories to organise all the uncategorised information (controversies and quotes shouldn’t be in the opening paragraph as this is reserved for the persons identity and notable achievements).
The opening paragraph should only state who he is and the reason he has a Wikipedia page in a concise paragraph followed by controversies inside a subcategory (there appears to be a lot of controversial statements made by him throughout the years, aimed at both men and women)
Once the page is cleaned up I propose it be locked or partially locked to minimise vandalism, otherwise to simply delete the entire Wikipedia page altogether as he is an extremely controversial individual whose page will be targeted with vandalism. Volunteers editing time can definitely be put to much better use on the platform. EnWikieditor (talk) 01:17, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- @EnWikieditor: A page being targeted for vandalism is not a reason to delete it. —C.Fred (talk) 02:09, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
Of course it wouldn’t be fair for an article to be deleted due to vandalism, it’s why all extremely controversial Wikipedia pages like this one should be written with a neutral tone and be locked but if that’s not possible then I think it’s better for it to be deleted than to be misinforming or have citable passages removed due to biases or discontent towards the individual EnWikieditor (talk) 04:25, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
Hatred and use of inappropriate words
Putting of words like sexual assault, notoriety and sexual harrasment in his description are biased and are of pure hate of editor towards him and also his kickboxing mma records are deleted They want to portrait him bad so I request Wikipedia to bring the original stuff in the page which was present few years ago 117.99.223.155 (talk) 09:30, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

- The tweet is a self-published source, so can therefore not be used as a reference about someone else's life on Wikipedia (see: WP:BLPSPS). The second source (HITC) doesn't seem to have an editorial policy, and the grammatical errors and typos in the article (including spelling his name wrong) seem to indicate a lack of oversight. I'd err on the side of caution here unless a more reliable source can be found. The only other ones I've been able to find are tabloids like the Sun. ArcticSeeress (talk) 14:38, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Why is this website used as a reference? It's a primary source.

I left a welcome page on your talk, I'd recommend reading through a bit to understand what reliable sourcing is, a talent agent isn't a reliable source, their job is to sell their client.
