Speedy deletion nomination of Matt Harvey (Writer)
A tag has been placed on Matt Harvey (Writer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi. I see that you have been edit warring on the Anthony James Hall article. Hopefully this will clarify some misunderstandings you seem to have about the sources:

1) The first source that you claim doesn't mention Hall/call him a conspiracy theorist, does in fact do so on the 2nd page of the article ("an angry and vociferous conspiracy theorist identified as Anthony J. Hall") here. You need to read the whole article (all pages!) and not just the first page before making such claims.

2) And the second source has been archived. You need to click on the archive link, not on the "original" link. You can find the archived version here.

Hope this helps your edit warring. Bennv3771 (talk) 01:40, 1 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Edit warring is anunfair accusation. I'm not here to carry a brief for this guy, Hall, but I do, as many others, think "conspiracy theorist" a meaningless term (unless it has to do with Russians in which its common practice for MSM members to spin them without recrimination) when utilized in most contexts--used to traduce someone without actually making a case. The WaPo piece (which you're right I misread) is an example par excellence of this underhanded consent-manufacturing practices. Here he is not conspiracy theorizing at all, just criticizing Allied troops, a breech of taboo which so incenses WaPo that they must paint him as mad as a hatter. Surely you recognize that "angry and vociferous" is editorial writing not factually-grounded reporting.  The second link you provided, which was not in evidence in a cached version on the page when I was editing, puts you on firm ground. It gives evidence that, if true, makes him a purveyor of what can only meet the criteria of "conspiracy theories." This man is not important to me and since you seem very concerned to cast him as a nut (Im not familiar with his work) I'll leave it alone. (talk) 19:00, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi. Yes, I do think you were edit warring per the definition. And please calm down, I am not trying to cast him in any way, especially since I have no idea who he is, nor do I care. You will note I have never edited that page until I saw the back-and-forth while patrolling recent changes, and the only change I made was a minor correction to the url of a source. I was just trying to clarify the technical misunderstandings you had about the sources, which I still stand by. The first source does mention him, unlike what you claimed; the second source is not a deadlink, unlike what you claimed. That is all, nothing more and nothing less.
