Talk:Michael Lynch

Untitled
I have just restored the article to its original form as a disambiguation page, which can be use to refer to more than one Michael Lynch. I note Glen Rock is also a disambiguation page, and not about a sports team. Laurel Bush 4 July 2005 09:58 (UTC).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Micheal lynch the football writer work for the age? Slanderer 13 September 2006 09:58 (UTC). 10:41 (UTC)

Michael C. Lynch
the following Michael Lynch, thinking "energy consultant" too vague to establish notability.


 * Michael C. Lynch Energy consultant

 * I added the name because he was the most vocal opponent to the peak oil moment, but since I have no references outside news quotes and his own business, not much could be said by me. Notability is a funny concept to me. Entertainers get a free ride for their own self-promotion and real people affecting business and government policy on vital issues have to be defended as notable by some magical criterion, not that any sane person would want to have a wiki-page on them anyway! WELL, thanks for moving it to talk here. Maybe someone else will be interested in him too, and more motivated than me. Tom Ruen (talk) 23:48, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Interestingly, just looked, he's (open)-wiki-linked on peak oil as Michael_Lynch_(economist). Tom Ruen (talk) 00:01, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Michael J. Lynch
Confusingly, there are two British historians named 'Michael Lynch': Michael Lynch (historian), born 1946 in Scotland, and Michael J. Lynch, born 1938, currently a lecturer at the University of Leicester. To make matters worse, the Google knowledge panel displays a photo of the latter next to the biographical details of the former. Michael J. Lynch has published a number of books on European and Asian dictators, including Hitler and Mao, and has appeared on several documentaries, including Hitler's Circle of Evil and Greatest Events of WWII in Colour. He may be notable enough to justify the creation of a Wikipedia article, in case anyone would like to have a go. Here are some sources:, , ,
