Talk:Edward Dyer

Shakespeare authorship
The subject is listed in the Shakespeare authorship template but there's nothing in the article to support it. Artaxerxes (talk) 20:40, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:N, WP:WEIGHT, WP:FRINGE and WP:ONEWAY. If Dyer were a major candidate such as Oxford or Marlowe there would be some material on the page and a link to the Dyer theory article. On a start-class page any mention at all would bring up weight issues, as readers would get the idea that he is only notable for being the object of a crank theory.

 * What about Shakespeare authorship question—should that be on this article? Johnuniq (talk) 09:10, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * According to WP:NAV, "A navigation template is a grouping of links used in multiple related articles to facilitate navigation between those articles." IMO this article is not related to the SAQ, nor are the biographical articles of the very minor and mostly forgotten Shakespeare authorship candidates. If those articles were, say, G-rated articles at the very least, I don't think a sentence or two would be out of place, but to include them in the navigation template is, I think, a stealth WP:COATRACK.
