Talk:Neil Sean

NPOV
an IP editor has requested removal of the article at Help desk. I have read the article and his main claim to fame seems to be the criticism from Dave Gorman, which makes it difficult to write an neutral article. Possibly an AfD nomination per WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE would be appropriate. TSventon (talk) 11:21, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * A journalist who broadcasts every day and who appeared on Fox News as recently as last month as a pundit is not a non-public figure, and this is pure vandalism. We should not be entertaining an obvious troll.-- Laun chba ller 13:17, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Apologies, the link should have been WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. I think the IP is has raised a valid issue about NPOV, even though they should not have vandalised the article and are now blocked. About half of the body of the article is sourced to Dave Gorman: Modern Life Is Goodish, and more to an interview with Dave Gorman. That is probably undue weight, especially as MLIG is a comedy programme and Gorman does not like Sean.TSventon (talk) 15:23, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That's a fairer point, although given that Modern Life is Goodish would have gone through a production company's lawyers and the channel's lawyers (as evidenced by the section beginning "Gorman also questioned"), I personally don't think it matters that it's a comedy programme, it's RS by all other measures. I'm pretty sure I'm only using him for attributed opinion and descriptions of work contents, and I've included other opinions for all three of the works he had reviewed - which bits would you cut? (I should probably ping, given they've just promoted this for DYK.) -- Laun chba ller 16:53, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree that everything Gorman said will have been checked by lawyers, but my inclination would be to remove Gorman's comedy as a source. You could ask at WP:RSN, but I searcheded their archive for comedy and said "Comedy and satire sites are not even sources.  It's fiction." see diff. TSventon (talk) 19:05, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Modern Life is Goodish is much better than that. This is more a lecture that happens to be funny, I need longer to think of a more accurate comparison before I head to the Noticeboard.-- Laun chba ller 19:35, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics is used as a reference for Hippolyta, but arguably Haynes is a subject matter expert. TSventon (talk) 19:51, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
