Proposed deletion of Red Reachtagáin


The article Red Reachtagáin has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Top Jim (talk) 18:48, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Red Reachtagáin


The article Red Reachtagáin has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Can't find a single mention online of a "Red Reachtagáin" or an "Albert Schweitzer Institute Journal of Philosophy", and the sole WP:Verifiable reference cited only mentions Ben Noakes. Possible WP:HOAX.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Top Jim (talk) 19:29, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Red Reachtagáin
Hello. The Amazon reference you cite in Red Reachtagáin lists only Ben Noakes, not Red Reachtagáin: can you please find a WP:Reliable source that the two names are the same person? Thanks, Top Jim (talk) 15:35, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Bigger Digger re Red Reachtagáin
The Schweitzer Institute verification is directly through their website (that's how I found their contact details) and I would suggest - not unreasonably - that verification from the Director of the Institute, and from the Editor of the Schweitzer Institute Journal of Philosophy, is more credible than a newspaper article. This is original research, straightforward and simple - or does Wikipedia only rely on newspaper and magazine articles? I very much hope not! Simon Harness (talk) 00:28, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Simon, I will copy this comment to the article talk page and reply there.
