Talk:Joseph L. Graves Jr.

Notability question
is this man notable? i've never heard of him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.7.212 (talk • contribs)


 * Could you please sign your comments?
 * Yes, he is notable.


 * Graves has made appearances in six documentary films.
 * Graves has published two books and numerous papers.
 * Graves has been interviewed by the NYT as an expert.
 * Graves has been interviewed by PBS as an expert.


 * All this appears in the article and all of it is sourced. futurebird 19:33, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, he is a notable opponent of scientific racism so that is good enough for me! LinkinPark 05:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

i'm not sure it is enough to be an author, there are a million books at amazon but those million authors aren't all notable. his papers aren't notable: The effect of superoxide dismutase alleles on aging in Drosophila??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.7.212 (talk • contribs)

The man is considered enough of a notable expert that he has been interviewed by both the New York Times and PBS regarding his specialty. I believe that makes him more than notable. LastChanceToBe 05:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Agree. futurebird 15:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

A published author well cited across the internet and clearly notable. I have removed the tag.-- Z leitzen (talk)  15:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, he's notable, (and just to counter the original poster's subjective reasoning: I had heard of him, before ever editing wikipedia). Please read WP:BIO and WP:PROF, both apply, and in both cases criteria of notability are met. ---Sluzzelin talk  16:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Comment: The original nominator was blocked for repeated disruptive editing. Even though I want to AGF, I don't think that the nomination was in good faith. LastChanceToBe 18:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not convinced about his papers -- superoxide dismutase alleles?? And simply being an opponent of racism is not notable -- whoever claims to be a proponent of racism? I also read a review of his work, he seems like he might be more politically-correctness than scientifically driven. But he has convinced some people he is notable and that's all it takes. 71.112.7.212 18:35, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Additional sources to look at for updates of this article
An editor tagged this article based on concerns that some contributors to this article may be persons who are closely associated with the article subject. Other Wikipedians who have edited this article plainly are not closely associated with the article subject, and the article is reasonably well sourced, so I have removed the tag. In the interest of further development and improvement of this article, I will mention a user bibliography about human biology and race studies that includes books and articles written by Joseph L. Graves, and other books and articles that comment on his work. Referring to the sources there will be helpful for revising this article to put Mr. Graves's life and work into a more complete context for readers of Wikipedia. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 21:30, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
