Talk:Michael DeKort

Should a link to DeKort's Youtube video be added?
DeKort states in the video that he refrained from using his name. However, his name is mentioned at POGO and a Google search for Michael DeKort video turns it up in the first page of search results. -- Dandv (talk) 07:45, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Received this message today from Mr. Dekort. Apparently he has some anger management issues...

"It's only a matter of time

You are a shameless coward. Your own profile demonstrates you are petty, immature, vengeful, have no respect for the truth or others lives. You will reap what you sow at some point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imispgh (talk • contribs) 13:16, 14 December 2012 (UTC)" — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrJacksonThomas (talk • contribs)

Received this message today from Mr. Dekort. Apparently he has taken to vandalizing his own Wiki page of any references or court documents critical of his case and has taken to threats to include:

"If you change the post again I am going to contact the site admins."

Keep or delete article?
 Keep (or at a minimum redirect to "Integrated_Deepwater_System_Program#Lockheed_whistleblower")  - Michael DeKort's video was all over the news, the case was brought before Congress, there are articles from uscourts.gov, BusinessWire.com, washingtontechnology.com and Project on Government Oversight on the page. At a minimum, the page should redirect to Integrated_Deepwater_System_Program or something to that effect. --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:32, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * If it was "all over the news" there would be plenty of reliably sourced third party content available to create an article. There however is not any in use in the article and I found none from a google news search. Can you provide any of these sources that you say exist? And even if they do exist, WP:BLP1E says that the redirect would be the appropriate action. --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  14:26, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * it appears that the various spellings / spacings / capitalizations of his last name may have impacted my search results. However, it still does not affect the fact that we cannot use the sources that had been used for article content or the fact that WP:BLP1E also applies. --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  14:38, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

We CANNOT use court documents
Per BLP we CANNOT use court documents, particularly those posted on some blog site, to be sources for article content. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  14:34, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

This article needs to be merged. Michael Dekort is neither a recurring public figure, nor is known for any historical significance. Additionally him and his "friend" writing his own article is hardly objective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HawleyPatriot (talk • contribs) 00:03, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
