Talk:Isidor George Beaver

Quality of sources
Please do not add low quality sources. If a person is notable, you do not need to resort to routine newspaper coverage from the person's own lifetime to cite information. If he is notable, you should be able to find sources that discuss Beaver and his work in depth. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:52, 13 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Hon, you didn't even bother to read WP:ROUTINE before spouting it. Routine newspaper coverage is perfectly valid to cite in an article to verify pieces of information; it just doesn't, on its own, establish notability for the whole article. What you're doing is petty vandalism, pure and simple: you're removing valid sources from the encyclopedia to make a point and you need to stop.

 * I did read it. Routine coverage doesn't establish notability, just like you said. But all I see in your sources is routine coverage. Now, you did totally bombard this article so I haven't gotten thru all of them. Do you have a single source that discusses Beaver in depth? If so, show me.

 * "Routine coverage does not establish notability" does not mean "Oiyarbepsy gets free license to vandalise articles by removing perfectly valid material sourced to routine coverage". It is a deletion argument (albeit an unconvincing one) for the article, not for the content, and what you're doing is straight-up vandalism based on either not bothering to read Wikipedia policy or wilfully misreading it to justify edit warring for shits and giggles.

 * Some of your sources are advertisements and won't let me even remove those. Advertisements are never ever ever ever ever reliable sources. They have to go. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 06:23, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you give me a reference for that statement? Surely advertisements would be a reliable source for the address of a business premises. And surely advertisements calling for tenders would be a reliable indication that the advertiser is managing a contract. Doug butler (talk) 00:51, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
