From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
People with articles in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online, such as Stephen Bamford are invariably considered unquestionably notable at Wikipedia. Just so you know. DGG (talk) 07:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- and so are first-class cricketers, such as Rob Nicol. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
To get some closure here, I've talked with Phil Bridger and Dweller about this. I'm willing to accept that Rob Nicol and Harry Moule might be significant, but their articles did not explain why. This puts an editor in a very difficult position, because writer could throw out a genuinely unimportant person, and it would be difficult for a typical editor to contradict that.
The Stephen Bamford article is a good example of where one's suspecions are confirmed, because it explicitly includes phrases suggesting a biased POV. To be clear, if I had to guess, the articles on Nicol and Moule are just deficient, while the article on Bamford blindly follows someone's black/white concept of "rules", leading to including someone who is really, honestly, and probably with lengthy investigation...use the word...unnotable.
