Contested deletion
[edit]This page should not be speedily deleted because he received a New York Times obituary. A significant piece of coverage which makes him meet GNG in my opinion. --Thriley (talk) 07:15, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
Better photograph?
[edit]Charming as the current one is, it’s a bit busy and informal (drinking glass, etc).
Wondering if @Genevievesugrue or another editor has a photo they’d be willing to upload to share under CC-SA? Brad606 (talk) 04:38, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Brad606 Sorry about that. He wasn't one for photos, so the 2019 one is the most "official looking" I have from later in his life. The alternative is one of him and his beloved dachshund, Queenie lol Genevievesugrue (talk) 22:03, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, thanks @Genevievesugrue. Thought I'd ask. Saw the photo at Michael Sugrue Legacy Fund (Ave Maria) and thought someone might have access/rights to it or one like it. The one on this page should work fine, and this talk page will show AFC reviewers we tried. 😊 God bless, thanks. Brad606 (talk) 03:30, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Did you know nomination
[edit]
- ... that Michael Sugrue became an "internet phenomenon" during the COVID-19 pandemic for his lectures on YouTube covering "the last 3,000 years of Western intellectual history” recorded in 1992?
- Source: "Michael Sugrue, 66, Dies; His Talks on Philosophy Were a YouTube Hit
After an academic career spent in near obscurity, he became an internet phenomenon during the pandemic by uploading talks he had given three decades earlier.
The college lecturer, in a uniform of rumpled khakis and corduroy blazer, paces on a small stage, head down. “The lectures you’re about to see,” he says in introducing a series of talks, videotaped in somewhat hokey lo-fi style in 1992, “cover the last 3,000 years of Western intellectual history.""
