[edit] Notability of Bertilo Wennergren article

Od Mishehu placed a tag on Bertilo Wennergren requesting its speedy deletion from Wikipedia under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article did not, in his opinion, indicate how or why the subject is notable, i.e., why this article should appear in an encyclopedia. See criteria for speedy deletion, guidelines for notability, and subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

You may contest a deletion by adding {{hangon}} just below the speedy deletion or "db" tag and a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would help it conform with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Mishehu 15:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I suggest that Bertilo Wennergren is notable not just because he is the subject of articles in the Esperanto and Swedish Wikipedias, but because he meets at least three criteria suggested for notability:
  1. The person has been the subject of a credible independent biography (Gramatikisto, rokisto aŭ perversulo?, by Sonja Kisa).
  2. The person has received significant recognized awards or honors (Esperantist of the Year for 2006)
  3. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field (author of a 700-page scholarly reference grammar of Esperanto, Plena Manlibro de Esperanta Gramatiko -- a book which he is making freely available for download on the Internet) Objectivesea 00:44, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Do you speak Esperanto?

Edmond Privat was brought over from the Vikipedio. I did what I could, but I don't speak Esperanto. BTW, great job on the notability argument.Dlohcierekim 01:00, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words. My ability to speak and write Esperanto is extremely limited, unfortunately, but texts written by others are relatively easy for me to understand because of their similarity to other languages with which I am familiar. (I was born in Denmark to Norwegian and Danish parents, have now learned English to a professional level, and have studied French and German.) Obviously, my reading ability in foreign languages is greater than my productive ability, so I would not attempt to translate into Esperanto, at least for now. I have made an attempt to improve the Edmond Privat article. — Objectivesea 10:47, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Mi gratulas vin pro la laboro kiun vi faras ĉi tie por sciigi pri eminentaj esperantistoj. Mi miris ke mi neniam vidis vin en esperanta Vikipedio, sed mi nun komprenas pro viaj diroj pri via lingvorego de Esperanto. Via laboro estas tre utila kaj apogas tiun kiun ni faras por kreskigi la esperantan Vikipedion. Arno Lagrange ✉ 20:42, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Dankon pro viaj bonkoraj kaj kuraĝikaj diroj. Mi aspiras por plifluiĝi parolanta en Esperanto, sed mi ĝojas ke, kiam mi krokodilas kaj skribis en angla lingvo, ĝi utileblus iam. — Objectivesea (talk) 21:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dodgy wikilinks

Hi there, I've just seen your work at Gresham Professor of Music. Unfortunately, only one of your links (Henry Wylde) appears to be correct. The rest are either red links or articles about someone else with the same name. Could you check on this sort of thing in future? Cheers, JackyR | Talk 18:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, JackyR, for checking this out. I have removed a few of the dead links and started a stub on Jno S. Stevens, known at birth as Richard John Samuel Stevens. I'll try to clean up some more as I have time. — Objectivesea (talk) 11:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Nice work on the cryptic Mr Stevens! How was he usually referred to, do you know? "Jno S Stevens" is shown in Gresham College's records, but this is surely a convenience. If you find a more-used name for him, you can use the "move" tab to create a new article name (takes history with it and creates redirect). Best, JackyR | Talk 16:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation/moving articles

Hi. I noticed you moved the disambiguation page Louis Bastien to Louis Bastien (disambiguation). There's really no need for this, as Louis Bastien is the preferred place to have it. You would only move it to Louis Bastien (disambiguation) if one of the people or topics available were the primary topic. In cases like this where neither is particularly well known, one cannot be deemed primary. I've requested that the page move be reverted (I can't do it myself as blanking the page immediately afterwards meant is has a page history). SeveroTC 11:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
