Talk:Stuart Slack

Notability
I have tagged this article for notability. I originally PRODed it and an editor challenged the PROD with the comment from my talk page (October 2016) " A moment's research found a wealth of sources about him. The article is now rewritten to take these into account." The "wealth of sources" are very poor, and I'd already been through it before deciding to proceed with the PROD. There appears to be a glitch in the template in that it's showing the wrong date for when the PROD was challenged. This article is about a local-to-Isle-of-Man-only folk-hero, and some of the now-deleted prose is replicated at Facebook - in Wikipedia terms family-cruft so Facebook is the appropriate place for it, not Wikipedia. A book allegedly-written by Stuart Slack was posthumously-finished and locally-published by family members some five years later - again, family cruft. This book has been extensively-used as a reference on Wikipedia when it does not meet the criteria for reliable source in that it is a local-only, self-published (vanity published), primary source and not widely published or distributed. The editor who has been using this book as a source has stated "as I understand the person that wrote this publication holds the lap record of the Snaefell Mountain Course / Four Inch Course on a Penny-farthing bycycle", a completely irrelevant argument and not usable for Notability purposes. As it is highly unlikely that any genuine, widely-published secondary sources will be uncovered after this length of time, then I expect to nominate this for a full deletion discussion--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 13:43, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
