Talk:Peter van Onselen

Untitled
Unfortunately this is yet another example of a self-promoting Facebook-style entry. Onselen is a minor journalist cum minor political staffer cum minor academic who has not yet done anything of note. If and when he does he could be a candidate for entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.23.30 (talk) 03:25, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * While Personally It hink the mans an idiot, he's not "insignificant". He's a professor whos a regular television and radio guest and has written book. So he is significant. Unfortunately he's also someone who went on record claiming the Nazis where socialists. So, god knows how he actually finished his undergraduate, let alone a Doctorate and Professorship. But there you go 2001:44B8:6117:B100:D17C:4F08:A314:C91E (talk) 04:41, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Articles exist if they meet WP:NOTABILITY which van Onselen does, as a noted academic, columnist for a major newspaper and host of several national television programs. Keep in mind WP:NPOV in determining whether a person has "done anything of note." -- Whats new?(talk) 05:33, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Capatilising surname
Unless I'm mistaken, when beginning a sentence with just his surname, the letter V in as in van Onselen should NOT be capitalised. User:Whats new?(talk) 01:15, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
