WikiProject banners

[edit]

@Marijacarter: I removed the banners for WikiProject Terrorism and WikiProject International Relations because this person is a criminal lawyer, not a terrorist or diplomat. While this person might represent such people in court they do not appear to be involved in the activities of their clients beyond that representation. Adding these banners with such a tenuous connection is over-bannering, in my opinion. If you think I am wrong, please discuss why these banners need to be added to this article. See WP:PROJSCOPE and WP:OVERBANNER for guidelines. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 21:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article for Creation process bypassed

[edit]

This article has been promoted to the main article space, from draft, by user Stewmuhn, despite previously being declined by users Jamiebuba and SafariScribe on the grounds of inadequate demonstration of notability. In the process it appears the Articles for Creation process has been bypassed as the article still has issues with both the lead section having extra information about the subject, as well as having bare URLs in the citations, in addition to this person's notability issues. Just because this person is a lawyer representing notable clients and also standing for political office does not make them notable in their own right. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 22:09, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cameron Dewe, the normal ay is to take this to AFD. I don't think it will go though, but let's watch till then. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 22:12, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SafariScribe: I don't believe the AfD process would serve any useful purpose beyond moving this article back to draft status. Now that the article is live, it is probably better to improve its quality than argue over the way this article came to be created or its notability. The purpose of my comment is to alert other editors about the way this article came into being and the consequential quality issues that arise from not following a due process. I think the article needs to be cleaned up, and fixed, not deleted.
At present the article appears to be mostly about this lawyer's notable clients, almost to the extent that it appears to be a coat rack article. If one strips away the text about the notable clients' cases, which are already the subject(s) of other Wikipedia articles, one is left with just over a paragraph of what is essentially personal information. As a reader, I want to know more about this person, based on the information hinted at in the lead and mentioned elsewhere in the article. Like what does he consult on and where is he a TV pundit? Does he give lectures, offer opinions, write or speak publicly on issues? Does he have academic or legal interests or conduct legal research beyond taking cases to court? In other words what has his life got to show for itself after 22 years of practicing law? - Cameron Dewe (talk) 00:31, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
