Talk:Will Leitch

Article for Deletion
This article was only nominated for deletion, because the sponsor of the nomination has a vendetta against Deadspin.com. The article should be kept, though possibly cleaned up, since the subject is both the author of 2 books, but an immensely popular sports blog, Deadspin. To verify the noteworthiness of the site, please see the article and its discussion page. Zzz345zzZ 03:58, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Sourcing for this article
While the Afd nomination was in bad faith, there is valid criticism - this article is a mess and not well sourced.

Will Leitch → Will Leitch (U.S. journalist) – Same name as a fairly prominent (but certainly less well-known) BBC journalist in Northern Ireland. Blythwood (talk) 10:55, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Support and redirect to dab page at William Leitch In ictu oculi (talk) 11:38, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. WP:TWODABS allows us to use a simple hatnote in cases like this, particularly when the nominator concedes the other subject of the same name is "certainly less well-known" than this one. Making Will Leitch a dab-page will inconvenience readers looking for both writers, and the current setup is fine.  Calidum   ¤   23:03, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The Northern Irish journalist's article was just created 8 days ago, but the pageview stats since then consistently show it getting substantially fewer hits.|Will_Leitch_(Northern_Irish_journalist) The American journalist is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in a WP:TWODABS situation. Confusion is better handled with a hat note than by sending all readers to a dab page.--Cúchullain t/ c 13:07, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Support move to Will Leitch (American journalist), since we always use "American" as a disambiguator for American people, not "U.S." -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:27, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm just trying to update the page that's about me, which is incomplete (it lists four books written rather than five, has the wrong title and date for the most recent one (which has been released), delete redundant information (one book is mentioned in two separate sections) and just do general cleanup. But I trust your judgment on that business. Thank you! Williamfleitchathens (talk) 23:25, 13 July 2021 (UTC)williamfleitchathens
