Controversy, lawsuit (2019)

It seems the article’s subject is raising funds, alongside another complainant, for a lawsuit in the UK for being “Targeted, harassed and falsely labelled a fascist”. Obviously the fact that it has resulted in a libel lawsuit would suggest that this is a risky topic for a BLP, but a brief Google search agrees with my own experience: I had only heard of Power in relation to the anti-anti-fascism row, and came here looking for context, and indeed it seems that most of the recent articles about / appearances by the subject are connected to this controversy / related “cancelation”, though aside from the subject’s personal blog, not much recognizable as a reliable source.

So my question is, would a lawsuit both help to establish notability, as well as provide BLP-safe sources for this topic? --OrderOfNineNagles (talk) 23:01, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Notability

This article is extremely skimpy on independent third-party RSes, and it's been tagged over this lack for quite a while. What are the three best independent third-party RSes demonstrating Power's notability under WP:CREATIVE, WP:GNG or any other Wikipedia guideline? - David Gerard (talk) 18:57, 12 November 2023 (UTC

Might be a good redirect to her book What Do Men Want? which at least got four RS press reviews so would pass prima facie notability, unlike its author as such - David Gerard (talk) 20:54, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

As nobody in a month has come forth with sourcing actually about Power separate from the book, I'm redirecting the article there for now. If RSes show up about Power and not the book, we can always break it out again - David Gerard (talk) 19:46, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

If there were any book to redirect this to, it would be one regarding One dimensional woman (her most oft-cited work), but alas such an article does not yet exist. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 22:23, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

And if we're so desperate for sources on these sorts of works, I'd recommend:

• Monteverde, Giuliana (2014). Not All Feminist Ideas Are Equal: Anti-Capitalist Feminism and Female Complicity. Journal of International Women's Studies, 16(1), 62-75;
• Dolezal, Luna (2010) "Critiquing 'Consumer' Feminism". Hecate's Australian Women's Book Review, 22, (1).
• Writing as Praxis: Catherine Ryan Interviews Nina Power;
• One Dimensional Woman by Nina Power (Review);
• A review of One Dimensional Woman in Bitch Magazine;

Et cetera.

Redirecting to What Do Men Want? seems inadequate. Article surely needs to be expanded, and I think there's adequate sourcing to do that. But BLARing the article seems inadequate when so much sourcing exists. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 22:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

I've temporarily restored the BLAR in light of the WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE concerns, though I do maintain that a reasonable draft for this individual can be written. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 22:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

I mean if you wanna write it, please do! - David Gerard (talk) 23:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

If I can break in here, I think redirecting is unsound on the notability criteria; this is someone with a significant public profile as a philosopher over many years, and one of the central characters in Marx Reloaded in 2011. Rachel0898 (talk) 03:54, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

I note that someone, for some odd reason, has removed all the references to her appearance in that film. I'm going to revert this, there was no logical reason for doing that. But you'll see her appearance confirmed on IMDB https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1884351/ Rachel0898 (talk) 03:59, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
