Talk:Eliana Rubashkyn

Statelessness
I'm a little bit confused as to how she became stateless. The article simply says "her citizenship was withdrawn" but doesn't elaborate at all. I'm not familiar with Colombian nationality law, but is this a common occurrence? On what basis did the withdrawal of citizenship occur? More context would be useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.97.189 (talk) 02:47, 31 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Likewise, on what basis did she receive refugee status? Kaihsu (talk) 19:20, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Why didn't she seek Israeli citizenship?
She's Jewish under Jewish law (having been born to a Jewish mom) so why didn't she look for Israeli citizenship? &#91;&#91;User:Rickyrab2&#124;Rickyrab (2nd account)!&#93;&#93; &#124; &#91;&#91;Talk:Rickyrab2&#124; yada yada yada&#93;&#93; (old page: &#91;&#91;User:Rickyrab&#93;&#93;) (talk) 17:08, 26 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why she didn't seek Israeli citizenship, but please take note of WP:FORUM. michael60634 / talk / contributions 18:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Evidence of being a pharmacist or chemist?
There doesn't seem to be any evidence that Eliana is a pharmacist, in New Zealand or anywhere. The only way we know this is from Eliana's own words given to the press, which shouldn't be sufficient evidence. One of the articles cited as evidence doesn't even mention anything pharmacy-related. As of now this page reads like a personal biography written by this individual, or a close friend/fan. Dlobr (talk) 21:30, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The Pharmacy Today article refers to her as a Pharmacist. It's paywalled, but if you have access to the journal it says "About 370 pharmacies currently stock Vapix, but uptake in pharmacies has not been as successful as the company hoped, admits pharmacist and chief scientist at Myriad Pharmaceuticals, Eliana Rubashkyn."
 * re: the claim that it reads like a close friend/fan wrote it, feel free to flag where you think that this is true. You can view the edit history and see that a wide range of people have edited it. Nauseous Man (talk) 21:48, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've just seen references of others contacting the New Zealand pharmacy guild & being informed that this individual is not a licensed pharmacist, & has never been in New Zealand at least. It doesn't appear this person has ever worked as a licensed pharmacist while they have lived in New Zealand, which has been years. Happy to be corrected, & I agree that if we could get through that paywall it would resolve much of the concern. Dlobr (talk) 22:27, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I guess I would be cautious about taking too much about what others are saying - in Aotearoa New Zealand you can be a pharmacist without being a registered pharmacist. Registered pharmacists, as far as I'm aware, are those who dispense drugs in pharmacies (which have to be licensed), whilst that article makes it sound like she's a pharmacist who makes the pharmaceuticals (rather than dispensing them). Here's a link to the Pharmacy Today article (I have access through my Institution's library): https://www.pharmacytoday.co.nz/article/ministry-seeks-feedback-draft-vaping-regulations-while-pharmacy-sales-slow
 * Here's another reference from the same publication: https://www.pharmacytoday.co.nz/article/news/planet-vapes-products-now-selling-200-pharm-acies
 * I'm afraid I wouldn't have the foggiest on how to get around the paywall otherwise, so I guess this is a test of good faith that it does say what I'm claiming... Nauseous Man (talk) 22:48, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The reference for the sentence on the Grace Millane case says she is a pharmacist, but her surname in that source is Golberstein. That surname is referenced in the infobox.- gadfium 03:58, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
