Please allow detaching unsourced child [closed]

Question

Detaching from John Greene and Joane Tattershall. Source does not show a child named William [[Greene-6779]].  This William is shown as born far away from where linked parents lived.  Source does not list a William.

ALSO to be removed - the child Content [[Greene-3131]] her LNAB is Greenman, See comments on her profile.

I realize you're asking about a specific case here (not evident from the question headline).  But in general, the fact that a child is unsourced does not, on its own, warrant detachment. One should review the family, the documentation, and the reason the child got attached in the first place.  If every unsourced profile was detached from its parents, a large part of WikiTree's "one tree" would disintegrate.

I have removed children William Greene, Benjamin Greene and Content Greene who do not belong as the children of John and Joan Greene.

Joe, please complete the detach on Greene-3131.  The note is on her profile but we need the actual detach yet.

Thanks!

Oops, detached now.

Answer 2

You should add Research Notes section above Sources to all the profiles in question, with wikitree ids and names with reasoning, so it doesn't the linking doesn't happen again.
