A user claiming to be the cult X-rated film star Tove Jensen (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tove_Jensen), has appeared on that article's talk page and complained about some of the details in the article posing a danger to her and her family. (see the diffs http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tove_Jensen&diff=39744088... and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tove_Jensen&diff=next&...)
The specific facts in the article that this user is complaining about are fairly unverifiable. Of course, I'm not sure to what extent this user's identity as the subject of the biography is verifiable, either. Input on the proper way to proceed here would be welcome.
I normally don't post to the mailing list, but since this is potentially a foundation issue and I know there have been similar controversies in the past, I wanted to bring it to the attention of whoever needs to know, in case we have a lawyer-mandated process for such claims.

If there is information in the biography that hasn't been verified (or is even the sort of thing that is unverifiable) then it just shouldn't be in the article. Remove everything that is not supported by a citation to a reputable source.

Agree, there is no reason to keep potentially harmful, or potentially libellous, unverifiable material.

Go ahead and remove anything unverifiable that could cause problems in your opinion or that of the complainer.
