Reviewing old talk pages, it was decided that his personal relationships and such were not part of a bio. I see the story of Kurt Cobain’s death isn’t even in his bio here. I don’t see all the performances listed when Rose et al had guest singers or when he has been a guest singer or invited speaker. I’m not we need this info, but this is about the singer as an entertainer. The personal issues do not belong in his story here. Demsuz (talk) 05:33, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"This is about the singer as an entertainer. the personal issues do not belong in his story here" You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding on what Wikipedia is and it's scope. And what are you talking about re: Cobain, there's an entire Suicide of Kurt Cobain article and his lead mentions his death too. RF23 (talk) 23:48, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you look more carefully at Kurt Cobain’s biography. It does not mention how he died and simply calls the note he left a suicide note. No one is discussing his life a tabloid. It’s completely unbiased unlike the way Axl is being dissected here. Demsuz (talk) 06:05, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I read the excerpts from Mick Wall’s book in his own article on Medium and in no where does he say Slash and Axl were arrested nor is the girl’s name mentioned. Walls mentions there’s a rumor the charges were dropped because Axl slept with the mother. I don’t think anyone buys that or knows why the family didn’t pursue the case. In the end, this is an accusation without any evidence. The band had no money to offer a settlement if anyone if thinking along those lines. 2601:589:4400:477:2D78:3D04:A609:7850 (talk) 02:42, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They were not arrested; they were charged then went on the run to avoid arrest then charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. This is all in the source. RF23 (talk) 23:53, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The claim was withdrawn. You are using information from tabloid sources.
Instead of warring editing, explain why you think this belongs in his biography.
Mick Walls is sensationalist and even Jimmy Page called his writing “distorted and inaccurate”. It’s mudding the waters to mix a credible source like Slash’s biography with tabloid fodder and it borders on libelous.
Ask yourself why is it so important to give so much detail when there was no criminal record?
Are you enjoying trying to harm these men’s lives by insisting a 39 year old run in with the law be synonymous with their place in music history?
