Notability?
editI'm skeptical that Mr. Herek meets Wikipedia's standards of notability. From what I see in the article, his most-documented claim to fame is his participation on editorial boards for a few scientific journals. Unless reliable sources of notability can be found, this article will probably go up for deletion.
I'm also suspicious that Lgbpsychology (talk · contribs) and Gherek (talk · contribs) might be Mr. Herek. If this is the case, please read WP:AUTO. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- With all the references and sources in this article and those that could easily be added, I'm astonished that anyone would suggest that Mr. Herek is not notable, according to WP's standards.
- Publishing scientific books, providing expert testimony for the Supreme Court, and participating on scientific boards should be sufficient. Furthermore, I did an Internet search on his exact name and there were 15,800 hits. I believe the nature of what Mr. Herek writes about is the real reason behind the above person's suggestion that the article may need to be removed. ClydeOnline(contribs)
- Are you serious, hon? Have you taken a look at my user page? I fully support Mr. Herek and all he does! I knew nothing about the man, however, and didn't know if he satisfied WP:N or not. However, since the major rewrite that took place, I took off the notability tag. And even improved the article. So, when you get a chance, please read about Wikipedia's guideline on assuming good faith, k? Thanks -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 04:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I withdraw my suggestion that the subject matter was the motivation behind your suggestion that removal may be necessary. I also now believe you operate in good faith. However, one new suggestion I am going to make to you is to do your reasearch before writing the comments like the ones you intially made. This would have prevented the whole issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ClydeOnline (talk • contribs) 14:11, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments. I, however, stand by my original comments, as they stood at the time. The article said nothing about his notability. It *would* have been deleted, though probably not by me. You're right - I could have done the research, added the info and references. But since I didn't start the article, my comments served to alert the initial writer(s) that more work needed to be done before it would stand up to Wikipedia policies. I can't do *all* the research around here :) Thank you again for taking part in the discussion - I appreciate your efforts and your comments. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:55, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Undisclosed COI
editWhile James Cantor was contesting[1][2] my removal of an EL that he had added to his coworker, I looked into some of the many other ELs that he has added, and found that many of them were to his own blog, those of coworkers and, or colleagues. The EL to Gregory M. Herek's blog, which James Cantor added to two pages[3][4] seemed not to be conflicted until I noticed that both Herek and Cantor were editors of the same magazine[5]. Thoughts?
