Vitals and Leading Expert

[edit]

If you click over to Full Profile from here and then scroll down to Awards and Distinctions, you'll see it there. If you then click What's This in the bottom right of the box, it will tell you where the information comes from. For what i'm talking about, it says, "America's Leading Expert recognition highlights the physicians who are proficient publishers on a specific disease, disorder or medical condition. The top 15% for the specific area are honored with this recognition." And there is no gray dot to say the info is self-reported, so it was collected by Vitals.com staff themselves from publication info. SilverserenC 23:46, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - please do not add that coat rack of that controversy its undue coverage in that BLP please seek support in the talkpage or the BLP noticeboard thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 02:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The guy was interviewed on CNN and many other national news outlets. How could it possibly be wrong to say what he said? [1] It was a major issue to him; a major period in his life with doubtless many influences on his future. This "coatrack" stuff... Wikipedia keeps substituting these bizarre baby-talk terms for rational discussion. Wnt (talk) 02:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is not notable because of those issues - if he is, he's a one event WP:BLP1e - please cut out your attacks on me. If you apply undue weight to those issues in his life story then you defeat your own position. Although I do not support this BLP being kept I have edited it to the best position for it if it is to be kept. Off2riorob (talk) 02:18, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BLP1E allows keeping a person when he has had a substantial role in a notable event. He didn't just testify - he went on CNN and told the story of his family's harassment. He didn't just demand an apology from Dick Wolf and NBC - he got answered even if only in the negative. That's worth keeping. BLP1E was an exception to the usual notability guidelines but it doesn't cover this. There's abundant verifiable sourcing. Wnt (talk) 02:26, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you assert he is a notable one event in relation to his daughters controversy and deserves his own article because of that I will have to disagree. The only reason he is notable for his own Biography at wikipedia is because of his cancer research - any other issue of note belongs at another title or in another article. Off2riorob (talk) 02:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not asserting he meets BLP1E, but that he isn't covered by it. BLP1E is a criterion that excludes people. Since it doesn't apply, the GNG applies, which he goes far beyond meeting. Wnt (talk) 02:42, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this discussion not started on the article talk page, Off2? As far as I can see this is totally a content issue, and if it's on the article talk than a wider group can have their say. - Aaron Brenneman (talk) 02:42, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense - I'll move this thread now. Wnt (talk) 02:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To the discussion between Wnt and riorob, it's worth pointing out that Silver seren also removed the section Wnt had added in. Given that, I'd say there probably is not consensus for the section at this time, since only one editor is adding it and at least two disagree and feel it should not be included. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 05:55, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Daughter

Father

[edit]

Monica's page: Her father is Bernard Lewinsky, an oncologist, who is the son of German Jews who escaped from Nazi Germany and moved to El Salvador. His page: Lewinsky's parents, Susi and George Lewinsky, were German Jews who left Germany in the 1920s, and settled in El Salvador.

So his parents escaped from Nazi Germany in the 1920s? Oh boy, but escaping from Nazi Germany is always a good story.
