Talk:Nicholas Robinson (historian)

Untitled
The Nicholas Robinson article no longer "lacks information on the notability (importance) of the subject matter"!

 * What's notable about a speeding ticket? Why would you even mention something like that in an article on anyone? Fan-1967 17:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

It's quite simply a summary of news stories involving Nicholas Robinson, a public figure in his own right, and his public endeavours. The speeding ticket is quite a trivial point, but one which attracted significant media attention, and I see no reason not to include it, occupying as it does, one sentance, which is even less than what you wrote in response to it.

Notability, etc.
It is currently unclear whether this person is notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. By the notability criteria for biographies, independent reliable sources are required to make sure that the subject is notable. These sources might be, for example, significant press coverage about the person (about him, not about his employer or organization), or an independent biography.

However, currently only one trivial source is cited, namely the article about the speeding ticket. That does not establish notability, it is merely trivia.

Also, the fact that his wife is notable does not make him notable.

Still, if he is an important public figure, then secondary sources certainly exist. But currently no such sources are cited in the article. Please add more sources to establish notability.

For the time being, I am replacing the “importance” tag with “notability”. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 16:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
