Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Opeyemi Enoch

WP:BLP, WP:AVOIDVICTIM
It does seem that this article is slated for deletion, but it is quite important that in the meantime someone should change the sentence quoting blogs about Dr. Enoch's proof being 'a hoax' or 'fake.'

It seems very likely that Dr. Enoch was told by Nina Ringo that an oral proof he may have given seemed correct to her (and she's repeated the statement in print). This is then admitted carelessness on the part of Nina Ringo and her Vienna Conference. I gather that the BBC world service misunderstood and believed that the Millennium prize had been awarded already, hence avoided a level of fact-checking; the articles are nearly all corrected now to reflect that Dr. Enoch never claimed to have had a proof examined by a number theorist or to have been awarded the prize.

It is a very serious violation of WP:AVOIDVICTIM to leave the article in its current state, repeating blog claims of fraudulent behaviour or any intentional dishonesty on the part of Dr. Enoch. This might be replaced by more correct statements such as occur in the talk page for the Riemann hypothesis, which were used to explain why Dr. Enoch is not mentioned in that article.

If one wishes to convey the sense that the initial hopes for the proof seem distant, one can merely quote the articles which themselves have all been corrected now. It is not necessary to defame the author himself, this is a serious and careless failure of WP:AVOIDVICTIM Createangelos (talk) 01:21, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
