Alexander Barnes
Where did you get the information that he teaches at ETH Zurich? A new editor has now popped up saying he is Barnes' father and that it is a future position that has been made public prematurely. Do you have a published source for it? Since this is a BLP, I'm concerned by its having been in the article when you first created it without any cited source. Pinging, who accepted it; maybe they spotted something I didn't see. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:11, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

The subject mentioned it to me in a conversation that I had with him. So it's not secret; at the same time, looking around, I do concur that it looks to not yet public information, and that I jumped the gun. So I concur with its deletion as your source would appear to be in a position to know. I don't know what a ``BLP" is, my apologies. Shooter6947 (talk) 21:54, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
 * A biography of a living person; we need to be particularly careful to base those entirely on published reliable sources. Then I didn't miss anything in the article; the reviewer should have caught it. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:11, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
