Confused[edit]

Notability criteria should be met by the quantity and range of Pollington's output over three decades. Adding contributions to peer-reviewed periodicals such as Journal of Medieval History appears essentially similar to the previous content, now removed. Not sure what the problem is ...

Just to follow up, I've made a WP:BLP-related edit, removing significant content because it was unsupported by third party coverage to indicate that content had any significance. The same information appeared in the publications list. Generally, reliable third party coverage is needed to support discussion of these publications. Ideally, future content will include prose indicating this author's importance, or otherwise how he passes notability criteria at WP:AUTHOR, WP:ACADEMIC, WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO. Cheers!

Counter Currents[edit]

Is it worth mentioning that Pollington has written for the website of Counter Currents, an openly neo-Nazi publishing company? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.75.238.4 (talk) 10:38, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing there now. If you look at it with WayBackMachine there were two articles by him added on July 18, 2012, both in French. At the bottom of the article there's a link reading "New original French translations at Counter Currents," which talks about Counter Currents acquiring two anonymous (nach) French translators, with a list of things they've translated. I don't think Pollington actually had anything to do with this; Johnson probably just had some of his work translated because he's writing about the history of Germanic peoples and racists like to be seen caring about those things. I'm not sure what the articles actually say as I don't speak any French, but putting a few bits into Google Translate didn't reveal anything concerning.

just found out he was a founder of the Steadfast Trust. this is a far-right English nationalist charity. see here for his membership, and here about the charity. most of the info you'll see about this comes from the Rational Wiki page which is mostly sourced from a site called CompanyCheck. he resigned in 2006, along with the rest of the board. this charity was on the UK's Charity Comission but was removed recently for racism and fraud (lol); it's possible that it wasn't originally a white supremacist organization. i think this should probably be in the article (founding a charity is pretty significant) but these sources are not great, and it matters a lot if it was originally a far right group, why everyone resigned, etc. Iesbian (talk) 23:37, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
