User talk:Geo Swan/Marisa Lazo

Provenance

I started this article, on the wikipedia in April 2017 [1]. I assert I was the sole contributor of its intellectual content.

It was nominated for deletion by a wiki-stalker AFD, and it was deleted, mainly due to citations to BLP1E, which I think I refuted.

My assertion that Lazo's one event had broad impact, and that her case would continue to be cited turned out to be correct...

• Sean Irvine (2024-11-24). "Reported high-rise crane stunt dubbed 'risky' and 'dangerous'". CTV News. Retrieved 2026-01-06. Pointing to the 2018 'crane girl' case in Toronto, Platoon Chief Colin Shewell stated such acts risk serious injury to responding firefighters (should they need to perform a rescue) and ties up resources.

I put a noindex on this, and will seek other's opinions as to whether it should be moved to article space. I am now going to see how much I can update the article.

For WIW, I probably made considerable updates to a wikialpha version, subsequently lost when that site went down. Geo Swan (talk) 01:09, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

move to article space

As I wrote in User talk:Geo Swan/Marisa Lazo#Provenance, I thought the BLP1E issues challengers posed were dismissable, because I felt sure she would be a "textbook case", explicitly discussed by experts, in scholarly works, and that she would have an ongoing legacy. IMO both have turned out to be true. I think the article might be better if the actual details of her rescue were moved to lower in the article, or removed altogether, as the legacy is the important thing.

Anyhow, this is one of several articles I explicitly protected from search engines, until I was ready to have you review them. Do you agree with me (1) unmasking this article, and (2) moving it to article space? FWIW, I suspect the order is significant, for the Google robots, who search article space. If an article has a NOINDEX when they first encounter it, they don't check back for a long time.

FWIW, Google now finds the article I ported on the Hotel Isabella, and it lists the encyc version before it lists the Citizendium version. However, that was only after I gave it site:org Geo Swan (talk) 18:29, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

I'm not really a fan of BLPs, especially of marginally notable individuals. Better to respect her privacy, leave it off Google. Sorry. See Encyc:BLP. Enki (talk) 19:54, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
