Draft:Alex Zhavoronkov
I have restored Alex Zhavoronkov, which you had put some work into, to draft at Draft:Alex Zhavoronkov. My cursory review of coverage since the deletion of that article in 2017 suggests that there is now sufficient coverage to demonstrate individual notability. I thought you might like to take a shot at improving the draft. BD2412 T 19:55, 2 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Alex. MaynardClark (talk) 20:41, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I just noticed your response. Were you under the impression that I am Alex Zhavoronkov? A review of my edit history will dispel that notion. Cheers! BD2412  T 13:47, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Hans Diehl
I see that Hans Diehl passed away, he will probably qualify for a Wikipedia article. Psychologist Guy (talk) 01:29, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Sadly, Dr. Hans Diehl passed away. MaynardClark (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes shame to hear about that, he was 77. I will try and do his article soon. We also need an article for Virginia Messina. Psychologist Guy (talk) 01:33, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * IMO, Mark Messina is also notable, but I know each of them. Ginny is an advocate; IMO Dr. Mark Messina (PhD) is more of the applied scientist. "Dr. Mark Messina is a nationally recognized expert on the health effects of soy."
 * Thanks for your emails, I have stored the links for Hans Diehl. I will create the article this week. From the available sources I have read, I think he was plant-based, not vegan. Maybe you know more on that if you met him personally. Psychologist Guy (talk) 22:34, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I would be surprised if he consumed anything not of plant-origin. But SOLID, HARD evidence might persuade me.MaynardClark (talk) 22:40, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

William Shatner
I noticed a long time ago you left some comments about William Shatner being vegetarian, he is now 92 years old. I looked into this but all the sourcing is about 40-45 years old. I have not seen any recent sourcing on Shatner and vegetarianism. I suspect he is still a vegetarian but we need good sourcing for this, an interview would be good for WP:RS. In 1982, Shatner was the host of this vegetarian documentary "The Vegetarian World". If you have any recent sources let me know and we can update his article. Psychologist Guy (talk) 00:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)


 * William Shatner produced "Vegetarian World" (a movie on reel-to-reel tape) that was a mainstay of vegetarian outreach during (I think) the 1980s. After real-to-reel became hard to show, the ISKCON movement (in Los Angeles at the time?) produced a $10 version on plastic cassette).  At some point, the blurry video was uploaded to the Internet (for free video watching).  Presumably, Shatner was vegetarian at the time. Some of the long-time Los Angeles-based vegan 'activists' could be consulted for verification (and possibly some strategic pathway for confirmation of the claim that Shatner was vegetarian at the time; I believe that he no longer is vegetarian. MaynardClark (talk) 00:33, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah thanks, I just watched the video on YouTube it was pretty good. Things really have changed. The old days of cassettes! Disappointing if he is no longer veg. I have recently been going over a lot of the older actors to see which ones are still alive and if they are vegetarian. There were vegetarian actors that lived a long time in their 90s but they are all deceased now. I have done a lot of historical research into deceased vegetarians. As for a few actors that are still living, Adriano Celentano is 86, John Astin is vegetarian and is now 93. Tippi Hedren is 93 but she eats fish so she is not a vegetarian like some sources claim. I know that Robert Redford is not veg either as he eats seafood. Eva Marie Saint is 99, she did positively review this cookbook but she is not vegetarian . One of the oldest current living vegan actresses I found is Loretta Swit aged 86. Psychologist Guy (talk) 01:07, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I see Marv Levy is alive at age 98 and is vegetarian. I will do some more research into Shatner and send out some emails. Psychologist Guy (talk) 01:16, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Steven M. Wise
Sad news about Steven M. Wise, thanks for letting me know. I would be interested in knowing was Wise a vegetarian? Do you have any info about his diet preferences? Psychologist Guy (talk) 02:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)


 * On an unrelated note, I came across Charles Patterson (author). His birthdate is not listed on his Wikipedia article but from what I could see online it is 1935 so that would put him around 88 years old, do you know anything about Patterson. Hopefully he is still with us. Psychologist Guy (talk) 03:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Steven M. Wise and his 2 wives (perhaps 3 wives) were all vegans. We shared several dinners together. I recall what he bought to an Atlantic Ocean-front vegan potluck organized by/for the Boston Vegetarian Society (decades ago). MaynardClark (talk) 03:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Charles Patterson (author)
Charles Patterson (author) and I have met and have spoken (perhaps at the 2015 NYC vegan parade. He was playing on themes previously thundered by Marjorie Spiegel (also a vegan of New York City).
 * I believe that Charles Patterson was born in August 1935. Yes, he would be about 88.5 years of age. MaynardClark (talk) 03:37, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Letter to James Peden
How were you able to review 'Porecca K. Personal letter to James Peden re: Interview of University of California (Davis), North Carolina State University, and University of Guelph Researchers investigating the connection between dilated cardiomyopathy and diet, 1995', this reference does not appear to be digitised anywhere and appears to be, well, a personal letter. Traumnovelle (talk) 05:55, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It was cited in note # 80 by Dr. Andrew Knight, University of Winchester, in Vegetarian versus Meat-Based Diets for Companion Animals, where the topic of the letter to James Peden was itemized in note # 80. This is a note where Dr. Knight discussed [6.2. Controlled Studies] the role of controlled studies in resolving challenging elements in veterinary nutrition.
 * "In other cases, such deficiencies have not been rectified. The amino acid L-Carnitine, for example, is of potential importance to dogs at risk of dilated cardiomyopathy. This potentially fatal disease affects about 2% of all dogs, appearing mostly in large and giant breeds. A small percentage of these lack sufficient cardiac L-Carnitine, which is normally removed during processing, and not supplemented due to cost (Fortunately, alternative sources exist; e.g., www.Carnitine-taurine.com"
 * Knight A, Leitsberger M. Vegetarian versus Meat-Based Diets for Companion Animals. Animals (Basel). 2016 Sep 21;6(9):57. doi: 10.3390/ani6090057. PMID: 27657139; PMCID: PMC5035952.
 * Andrew Knight BSc./BVMS, PhD (Griff.), PhD (Winch.), MANZCVS, DipECAWBM (AWSEL), DipACAW, FRCVS, PFHEA, Veterinary Professor of Animal Welfare, Adjunct Professor, School of Environment and Science, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia, Visiting Lecturer in Animal Welfare, University of Winchester, UKm EBVS® European & RCVS Veterinary Specialist in Animal Welfare Science, Ethics and Law; American & New Zealand Veterinary Specialist in Animal Welfare, Fellow, Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, & Member, Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (Animal Welfare chapter), Principal Fellow, Advance HE. http://www.AndrewKnight.info  This is NOT any of the three men listed in the Andrew Knight disambiguation article.


 * Dr. Andrew Knight's pet food videos at: http://www.aknight.info/vids
 * Dr. Andrew Knight's My pet food articles: http://www.aknight.info/articles/pet-food
 * Dr. Andrew Knight's new book: Routledge Handbook of Animal Welfare: http://www.aknight.info/AW-book
 * I would think that the point here is that (a) K. Porecca corresponded with James Peden (researcher and developer of these early formulations) and (b) Andrew Knight believed in his article that this letter contained content worthy of citation. We are not discussing the optimality of Peden's formulations BUT its historical high point in the search for vegan pet foods. Today we would think that vegan pet food design would need to consider (a) Health and nutrition, (b) Palatability (consider the role of veterinary taste testing of different formulations, and the feedback to AI), and (c) Sustainability. But "There must be multiple qualifying sources to meet the notability requirements." MaynardClark (talk) 16:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
