[edit] Notability

No need for specific assertion as his (non-trivial) publications were listed. However, specific assertion is now added along with link to a Sunday Times article featuring him. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 00:58, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, there's very little way to tell what the difference between trivial and non-trivial publications without contextual reference and specific assertion, but I'm just glad to see the entry begin to look encyclopedic. When I tag CSD, most people just try to eliminate the tag and argue me down. You actually improved the article. I'm impressed. I think that's the first time that's happened.

A clue might be in the title–Worthless Men: Race, eugenics and the death penalty in the British Army during the First World War–and the fact the author is described as a social and cultural historian :) But I take your point, my stubs aren't usually this scrappy. And thanks for your kind words :) --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 16:28, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
