Talk:Jason Moore (Wikipedia editor)

Delete draft pages?
Since the dust has settled, perhaps the following pages can finally be deleted?


 * Draft:Jason Moore
 * Draft:Jason Moore (writer)
 * Draft:Jason Moore (writer) 2

These seem unnecessary, but I'll let others decide. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:12, 16 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I'd leave them as not harming anyone and WP:RDRAFT says to keep at least the middle one czar  20:24, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

GA
I must say I have a hard time contemplating that an article about a living person that doesn't have his birth year down, let alone parents, education, etc., could possibly be a "good article". This article is very uneven and spotty in its coverage. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 02:40, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The article covers the full breadth of what has been covered in reliable sources. That's the GA criteria. czar  04:12, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Seriously? No reliable source for birth year or parentage, etc. for someone who is so involved with WP that recursiveness calls for providing a page on that type of notability alone? Why doesn't he just give an interview like countless other celebrities have done, thereby providing "reliable" info cited on their bio pages as per WP:ABOUTSELF.

 * Plenty of notable people have no reliably sourced information on vital dates and parentage. This is nothing new—it goes back to antiquity and our articles reflect the sources. If you have an issue with the GA criteria, take it up on that page. czar  00:20, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * See WP:BLPPRIVACY: "many people regard their full names and dates of birth as private". I have long observed an insistence by many volunteers to add poorly sourced, speculative or inference-based dates of birth for "completeness". Many of the DOBs I take the time to fact check are wrong, and moreover, have a high danger of citogenesis. There is no requirement for a Wikipedia volunteer to make their DOB, parentage etc. public, and no requirement on any article to include information that is not verifiable and due weight. — Bilorv ( talk ) 10:42, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That's a good point, but this guy is being celebrated as a major contributor to WP, so why can't he even clarify birth year?
 * A bigger issue is the recursive nature of notability based on wikipedia work. What's next? A page with top ten contributors like lifetime Homerun stats? How about most lifetime Hits=user views of pages personally created? What about a Gold Glove award for editors who have the fewest percentage of reverts? It strikes me as bizarre, even self-congratulatory on the part of WP. Martindo (talk) 02:48, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Moore is not directly notable based on Wikipedia work, but notable based on coverage in reliable sources about his Wikipedia work. This is exactly the same standard applied to any individual. You can either think that my comment is a good point, or that Moore should clarify his birth year, but I'm confused as to how you could think both. — Bilorv ( talk ) 20:03, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
