Reliable sources and notability

[edit]

Is the repeated deletion of the {{unsourced}} tag without any comment or improvement to the article to be understood that no reliable sources explaining notability shall be forthcoming? Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable using reliable sources. If reliable sources can't be found I fear there is a chance this article could be deleted. Are there going to be any sources for this information? Thanks! Weregerbil 11:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Geoffrey Shindler is quite well known in the industry, for what that's worth. The {unsourced} tag must remain, though, unless and until some decent sources are provided. AndyJones 13:52, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Quite well known in the industry" is worth nothing, basically. Too subjective. I was going to speedy this, but it seems there will be objections, so I'm takign the AfD route Lurker oi! 14:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please specify which items you consider need to be specifically sourced?

[edit]

Also, I think you are applying too narrow a criterion in your consideration of what is notable. President and founder member of a major professional organisation (STEP) whose entry you have not seen fit to cite for deletion is a good start I think. Just because you are not interested in what he does or who he is does not mean that it is not of interest to a significant number of readers.

What, out of interest, is your line of work and what articles have you contributed of late?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcking (talk • contribs)

Which of us are you asking your last question? For myself the answer is that I have no motivation to write an essay for you, sorry.
As to your main question: everything needs to be sourced. See WP:V and WP:RS. AndyJones 21:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

[edit]

I have had a stab at cleaning up this article a little, mostly by removing wholly inappropriate redlins (we don't even have articles on the All England Reports, so I think hell will probably freeze over before Wikipedia has an article on Wills and Trusts Law Reports). Bit optimistic to put in a redlink to a 2 partner firm that was only founded in May 2006. For Chambers and the Legal 500, so I have changed those to link to the websites. My own view is that Geoff Shindley is probably sufficiently notable in his field to have his own article, but this article is a bit of a mess and just reads like an ego trip rather than a summary of his contributions to the development of trust law in various jurisdictions.

Dead links, Unsourced content

[edit]

Multiple dead links will have to be fixed. More importantly, however, the unsourced content must be corrected. I will be hiding text until they are sourced.

In addition, I think this page would be better named "Geoffrey A. Shindler". Thoughts?
