Proposed deletion of Tillie Kottmann


The article Tillie Kottmann has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Case of WP:BLPCRIME, since not being a Public Figure the accusation needs to be removed. After the removal she lacks WP:GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Info about Jack Turban at article Irreversible Damage
Hi I just want to find out reason for deleting Jack Turban current education status. https://profiles.stanford.edu/jack-turban https://www.jackturban.com/

Please help me to understand. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PseudonymhelpU2 (talk • contribs) 17:29, 23 March 2021 (UTC)


 * , thanks for asking! I reverted that edit because it was synthesis, which is what it's called when someone combines material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. In this case, the edit took something which was not mentioned in the sources related to Irreversible Damage but was mentioned in sources related to Jack Turban, and combined it with the source that was in the article (Jack Turban's criticism of Irreversible Damage) to imply certain things about how credible that criticism is. That isn't really done on Wikipedia, because in addition to violating the part about synthesis in the policy no original research, it also usually doesn't adhere to a neutral point of view. I hope this is helpful - I'll ping here, who reverted your edit before I did, so she can tell us if I missed anything (if she wants). And if you've got any more questions, feel free to ask them here!  ezlev. talk 20:08, 23 March 2021 (UTC)


 * , Ezlev pretty much summed up why I reverted your original edit. I apologize if my edit summary ("SYNTH, not a RS") was too short to be helpful. Generally if you see people using all-caps words on Wikipedia you can pop a "WP:" in front of them and find the relevant page (WP:RS, WP:SYNTH, etc.). Aside from the synthesis, original research, and neutral point of view issues with your edits, "Uncommon Ground Media" is not a reliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SreySros (talk • contribs)

In addition, Target has NOT resale the book. I just confirmed. PseudonymhelpU2 (talk) 22:06, 23 March 2021 (UTC)


 * @PseudonymhelpU2: do you have a source for that info? ezlev. talk 22:16, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, I googled and searched in Target website for many days and can't find it PseudonymhelpU2 (talk) 00:36, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

I tried to put on CBN news link but I can't PseudonymhelpU2 (talk) 00:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

@ezlev Thank you for deleted the update. I want to ask if CBN news can be a source and the fact when searching for the book on Target web site, one can not find the book. Thank you for your help. PseudonymhelpU2 (talk) 17:11, 24 March 2021 (UTC)


 * , I don't think CBN News is a very reliable source, and saying that the book isn't available because it doesn't show up in search on the Target website would be original research again. ezlev. talk 17:39, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

AfC Decline: Banking in Guyana
Hi, I see you declined the article "Banking in Guyana" for sounding like an essay. I'm a bit concerned because, honestly, I am a very poor essayist. I would still like to improve this article because developing countries have interesting economies, even if they're eclipsed by their colonial predecessors. If you have the time to explain what would be needed to make a suitable article on this topic, please let me know. Cheers, Estheim (talk) 22:00, 27 March 2021 (UTC)


 * , I completely agree with you that this draft should be an article on Wikipedia. Underrepresentation of developing countries is a big problem here. I also want to apologize for not leaving a more detailed reason for the decline - you're the second person to give me that feedback today, and I'll definitely keep it in mind in the future. The main reason I didn't accept this AfC submission was the lede, which is generally supposed to summarize the article, but in this case reads more like the introduction of an essay and introduces unsourced ideas that aren't supported in the body of the article. I think improving the lede (WP:LEDE might help) would make a big difference. ezlev. talk 22:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
