[edit] Gabriel Schoenfeld

Gabriel Schoenfeld (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is a kind of procedural nomination for Izzy65 (talk ยท contribs), who's only edits were to today's AFD log. However after reviewing the article in question, I feel that it should be deleted or at least debated because it is an unsourced autobiography. MER-C 13:22, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Although a bio, it can be reasonably cited. Give it some time. ~ Flameviper 14:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Flameviper. He's the author of a non-fiction book that had independent reviews, like these, and he also appears to have given expert evidence to the US Senate[1]. --Mereda 14:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep or Delete I failed to read the rules on writing an autobiographical entry before writing this. Although I tried to write the entry in a neutral fashion, now that I have read the rules, I see the difficulties. I will be content with whatever consensus and decision emerges. --Schoenfeld 14 January 2007
  • Delete unless expanded, sourced etc. as argued above by Alf photoman. This article has future potential, which it might realize if it gets third-party printed articles commenting on Schoenfeld's work. Without outside sources, a very one-sided article with a promotional feel may result. No prejudice against re-creation if the author can come back later with a better version. Having the subject write his own article is dubious anyway given WP:COI. If he wants to recreate, he could always send a Talk message to the administrator who closed the AfD.
