Talk:Chris de Freitas

message: The section on the Baliunas & Soon paper is (to my eyes) very much written in a POV style. All the references are from one side of the controversy - and no attempt is being made to balance the views. (see for instance Hans von Storch for another viewpoint - and references to such. --Kim D.

thread_title:  NPOV 

message: OrenO - i do not consider this a "pissing contest" as you say... But the article has to provide sufficient reasons for de Freitas notability - his is not my policy, but wikipedia's. If you want me to desist - then provide the reasoning. So far we've been through: 1. publication record/citations - argument fails (as per above). 2. Regarded as an expert - this is within academia, not what some random Op-Ed says. 3. same as 2 for regular notability - but within the journalistic area (again not Op-Ed's) we're now talking regular notability) - so far i haven't seen much. According to policy - notability has to be shown - otherwise the tag should change into a AfD - the tag itself doesn't dispute notability, its requests that notability is shown. Please do not revert without showing this. --Kim D. Petersen 19:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The "pissing contest" I was referring to was the h-index thing.  Read the template you have on the page: "An editor has expressed a concern that the subject of the article does not satisfy the notability guideline."  You're not asking for more info, you're saying that if notability isn't expanded, the article will be deleted.  If you want more info, change it to Template:Importance, which fits what you say you're trying to do. Oren0 21:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One might contend that de Frietas is marginally notable because of his role in the Climate Research fiasco, even though he fails on the other criteria. Raymond Arritt 02:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Ad hominem abusive, unattributed, and assertion as fact something that is certainly still controversial.  Fifteen yard penalty and loss of down. -- Charlie (Colorado) (talk) 01:56, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

text: comes on TV in New Zealand from time to time implies notability.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.98.212.140 (talk) 01:49, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia policies on biographies of living persons require that "unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space." This article contains a distressing amount of such material.  In accordance with policy, I'm removing it. If someone can find reliable third-party sources for such material, please restore it with proper citations. Several of the quotations and other views attributed to the subject have been found to point to dead links, which I have deleted. Raymond Arritt 16:47, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
