Talk:Elizabeth Haldane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A web search does suggest notability. Eg http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9038853 But we need to capture that here. Regards, Ben Aveling 16:20, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


This hasn't been provided, and yet Duncharris (talk contribs) continues to remove the notability tag. --Ragib 19:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Add the notability into the article then, don't post dubious links. Never heard of her, support deletion based on what is included on this WP page.Michael Dorosh 19:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
What do you mean by "dubious links"? EB isn't exactly "dubious". Guettarda 20:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't have time to chase down everything she did (which if memory serves was actually quite a lot) but I've added on detail that by itself should establish notability. JoshuaZ 20:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes, and unfortunately your one-sentence addition contained an extraneous word and lacked capitalization. ;-) Michael Dorosh 20:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I rather thought the point of writing Wikipedia articles was to actually write something worthy of being called an article. One sentence and a link to any website, EB or not, is called a waste of everyone's time. If anyone really cares about this subject, they'll take the time to write a good article.Michael Dorosh 20:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


Regarding "bad-faithness" of my nomination, I added the afd based on this version of the article. WP:V clearly states that

The burden of evidence lies with the editors who have made an edit or wish an edit to remain. Editors should therefore provide references.

I added a tag requesting proof of notability of the subject close to 3 weeks ago, and wasn't provided any. Thanks. --Ragib 20:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

It seems clear from the web that she is notable, but it's hard to tell that from this article. Were this still on AFD I would probably vote "delete without prejudice against recreation". Regards, Ben Aveling 10:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


Would someone add something more to this article? Otherwise, it can easily be merged with Haldane family --Ragib 20:50, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
