Talk:Warner Norton Grubb III

Warner Norton Grubb III
This article already cites both Newsweek and the University of California at Berkeley as sources. What more is expected? User:GRUBBXDN
 * In the scheme of Wikipedia biographical entries, that doesn't constitute much in the way of multiple sources. I don't think this is Newsweek . Much of the personal life background is unsourced:


 * In 1969, after graduating from Harvard University majoring in economics, Norton married Erica Black, known as Rikki. The couple became elementary school teachers in Baltimore, Maryland for a year before returning to Harvard where Norton completed his course work for his Doctorate and Rikki graduated from the law school. They relocated to San Francisco when Norton accepted a position as a researcher at U.C. Berkeley and Rikki joined the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) as an attorney.


 * This, in addition to the text I already deleted that summarized each of his books, suggests some cause for concern. I think it may be helpful if I seek further assistance at the COI Noticeboard. 76.248.151.159 (talk) 20:20, 20 June 2013 (UTC)


 * The article is about a distant cousin .... everything in this article appears in numerous sources on the internet and elsewhere. However, I do not want to get into an ethics debate.  Unless there is an objection, I will simply remove the article.(User :GRUBBXDN) 21 June 2013 (UTC)


 * No debate on ethics is sought, but COI might be a concern, which is why I started a thread at that noticeboard. If there are reliable sources to support, for instance, the passage I noted above, please add them, or the content may be removed. Nobody has called for the article's removal; if you wish to do so you can begin a WP:AFD process, supported by a valid reason for the article not being appropriate for Wikipedia. 76.248.151.159 (talk) 17:13, 21 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia articles are often a slow accumulation of edits, and what you've done is a great start. It would be helpful if you could provide links to articles (newspaper, magazine) about Professor Grubb, or about his books, beyond the four that are in the Wikipedia article now. You don't necessarily have to add those links to the article - you could just post them on this page. Similarly, if you know of sources about Professor Grubb that aren't available online (but were published by what Wikipedia calls reliable sources - so no personal papers, for example), providing that information on this page would help other (interested) editors to improve the article when they can find the time to do so. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 03:32, 23 June 2013 (UTC)


 * John: Thankyou for your encouragement as well as the excellent Washington Post reference.  I have added two additional sources and will add more in the near future.  User :GRUBBXDN 24 June 2013 (UTC)
