Unreferenced

edit

This whole article is in desperate need of references. The 1st reference listed actually contradicts the article. If additional references aren't added I'll edit the article to match the ref. Daffydavid (talk) 04:28, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

The only reference attached that appears to be valid indicates the person to be unqualified. Daffydavid (talk) 10:33, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Daffydavid, do you know what happened to your AfD nomination? Somehow it got replaced by a question from a single-edit user @Covingni. I redid an AfD which is now being attacked by more single-edit users. That's life.
The current page clearly does not qualify, with no verification and no real attempt to prove notability. It does not look as if anyone is going to make a rescue bid, just attacks. Ldm1954 (talk) 23:35, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Ldm1954: Appears that Daffydavid didn't make an AfD at all and mistakenly thought that the article's talk page was the appropriate venue for such discussion. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  01:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@GhostOfDanGurney, hmmm, then how did the first AfD get created? It has been sitting in the AfD list for a while, a software glitch?
Anyway, an AfD is clearly appropriate. (I don't like PRODs.) Ldm1954 (talk) 01:20, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think the other user (@Covingni:) saw the AfD tag and clicked on (what would have been a WP:REDLINK to the) discussion page and simply created a new page with their keep !vote. I can't be certain, but I suspect this is the most likely scenario. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  01:26, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
