Talk:Christopher Snyder (historian)

Nomination for speedy deletion
This article was nominated for speedy deletion on the grounds that it is a biography containing no assertion of notability. I declined on the grounds that the claim that he has written a number of books is an assertion of notability as are some of the other claims. If a deletion is proposed, it should go to articles for deletion. Capitalistroadster 22:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, from the history it appears that this article used to be about a professor and expert in Celtic studies, and was highjacked by the current subject, who has published nothing as far as I can tell. In fact, he is not even the most notable programmer named Chris Snyder, since there is another who has published an important guide to PHP security. I suggest that the article be modified to describe one of the more notable Chris Snyders or deleted completely as a vanity page.88.100.121.161 (talk) 10:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Classification as stub
I have classified this article as a stub. It needs sourcing and to be wikified. Capitalistroadster 22:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

This is obviously not worth an article
The page edits that lead up to this article were done by Cms2337, which includes his initials. This person is not notable (yet?). I'm not an experienced wikipedian, so if someone could start the steps of a speedy deletion or whatnot, that would be awesome. - 64.93.130.228 11:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Disagree re. possible deletion
Professor Snyder is an expert and key author on what in the past 25 years has become a contentious period of British history, namely the period (300-600CE), loosely termed 'Sub-Roman Britain'. The period in question is poorly known and poorly understood in the main by non-specialists.

Additionally the article should carry a cross-reference to the article "Sub-Roman Britain" Geoff Powers (talk) 14:31, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
