A political theorist and his two books. I know that he has plans for another book, but I can't see it appearing for a while yet, and, even when it does (due to the "speed" of academic publishing) it won't have sufficient coverage to be considered notable for a while longer. --Josh Milburn (talk) 11:01, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Support Comment  -- Tks for this series of articles, Josh. Just procedurally, I think we're supposed to put a link to the nomination on the article talk pages -- seem to recall it being in the instructions anyway... Content-wise, did you consider whether Centre for Animals and Social Justice should be part of the topic given Cochrane's a founder member? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 21:45, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * P.S. Excellent work getting such an engaging photo of the subject! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk)!
 * Thanks for the comments; I've added the talk page template. I'll have a muse on the CASJ... Josh Milburn (talk) 23:00, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Not saying it should. I mean if the topic is the guy and his works (i.e. his notable literary output) then CASJ isn't necessary and the topic is comprehensive. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I had a think on this; a number of people are affiliated with the centre, and other founding members include Dan Lyons and Robert Garner. The centre could probably be a topic in its own right, but if the article was going to go into a particular person's topic, it would be Lyons's. Josh Milburn (talk) 08:57, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Fair enough -- happy to support now. Pls note, I fixed a harv error in the main article but there's a few in Animal Rights Without Liberation that I'd prefer you look at -- do you know about Ucucha's checker tool? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:12, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support; I don't know about the tool, where would I find it? Josh Milburn (talk) 15:19, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Here you go. Once installed, it highlights things automatically -- unlike Ucucha's duplink checker/highlighter, you don't have to invoke it for a particular article. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:04, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks, I've fixed the errors. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:44, 8 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Topic seems fine, but the 3 articles are not liked with a template. Nergaal (talk) 14:30, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Is that necessary? The article on Cochrane is on the animal rights template, while one of the books is on another navbox; I'm not sure creating a new navbox with three articles (and three articles which all link to each other quite heavily) would be that beneficial.

 * Support: Looks good; meets WP:WIAGT. - Yellow Dingo&#160;(talk) 09:26, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Support – Meets WP:GT?. Good work! Graham (talk) 05:17, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I should also note that while the articles are not linked by a navbox, that is not required by WP:GT? and it would not be appropriate in this case. Graham (talk) 05:19, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
