Talk:Cyril Belshaw

Deletion and rebirth
A previous article with this title was deleted, for reason "G12" (copyright violation). The topic remains notable, so I wrote new text for a stub, and included lots of reliable sources. Thus I think this article shouldn't be deleted on the grounds due to the previous article's deletion. --Jdlh | Talk 07:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

\this man was accused of murder and spent a year in a Swiss jail. during this period he became a public figure both in Canada and Switzerland. this article, which mentions none of that, is a joke Cognoscente18 (talk) 02:04, 14 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree it should be mentioned in some form. Even Current Anthropology, the journal Cyril Belshaw had edited at the time, describes the case in this retrospect, explicitly wondering that "his Wikipedia entry today does not even mention the murder, trial, or prison time."

January 2008 revert
I am reverting the January 6, 2008 edit which added unsourced  text of questionable origin. • Gene93k (talk) 20:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I can see why you reverted this, but some discussion of his trial is necessary. It was certainly an important part of his life, and it was the first time most people had ever heard of him. Ellen Godfrey's book could be cited.

Emission "Zone d'ombre" (Radio Télévision Suisse)
L'utilisateur Toussol, après visionnement de l'émission indiquée, considère qu'il dispose d'un argumentaire factuel permettant de lever les hypothèques grevant l'intégrité professionnelle, intellectuelle et personnelle de l'anthropologue canadien. Pour les raisons qu'il explique sur son site de discussion, l'émission en question offre un terme au jugement intervenu et une issue humaine à l'épreuve librement acceptée au nom du cercle des anthropologues réunis au cours de l'Avent 1978, comprenant des délégués Sénégalais et Soudanais (au nom de l'Afrique, héritière de la colonisation). L'utilisateur Toussol plaide donc volontiers en faveur d'une acceptation de l'article proposé. Le 3 août 2013,--188.154.177.47 (talk) 13:43, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
