Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy/To do/Awbrey articles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These articles were started by banned editor User:Jon Awbrey. Awbrey has blanked them with an edit summary which may be construed as an assertion that they are original research and has blanked them. Most have few if any contributions other than by Awbrey and his many sockpuppets, which would normally qualify as {{db-user}} but the blanking was clearly intended as WP:POINT disruption. However, there is a long-standing issue with the Awbrey's original research in Charles Peirce (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs), to whom these are all, I think, related, and none seem to have proper reference to independent sources (a "bibliography" without inline citations in this case may be indicative of novel synthesis), so I believe we need to assess the articles, see if they are independently significant, merge, verify (and source) or delete them as appropriate.

I'm protecting some pages per Jon Awbrey (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) stated intent to keep vandalising them.

Awbrey has expressed his intent to continue vandalising these articles. Most of these seem to start "foo is a temr used by Charles Sanders Peirce to describe..." and it's likely that they may be candidates for merging, one of Awbrey's biggest problems was always an excessive zeal for the work of Peirce above all others; there may be undue weight in evidence.

Please review these articles, as I lack the specialist knowledge to assess whether this problematic author's claim of original research has merit. Thanks Guy (Help!) 15:33, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
