Talk:Jacques Damala

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of December 26, 2006, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: yes, rather well written
:2. Factually accurate?: several facts without citation or sufficient verifiability under WP:V, omits discussion of important topics regarding subject.
:3. Broad in coverage?: see discussion below, omits discussion of important topics regarding subject.
:4. Neutral point of view?: yes
:5. Article stability? seemingly
:6. Images?: yes
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.

replies: text: Yes, there's only one brief mention of bisexuality in the article, and while finding references of someone's sexuality from the 1870's is difficult, there's not much to suggest that this one belongs "within our scope" (sorry, Dev, for that word). I'm not keen on including it in LGBT studies, but I'm not strongly against it.  Furthermore, the language needs a cleanup pretty bad, and there's some issues of NPOV.  I'd rate it as a B, but with a little work in could be GA. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 19:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The usenet you seem so against is quoting a book - we can change the reference to the actual book if you like. But it's there. Damala liked boys, ergo he falls under our range. I do not think that someone needs to be as gay as Oscar Wilde to fall into our sphere of interest! As to the A-class, this article is better quality than a B, and the guideline I linked to in my ratonale makes clear that an article can be rated an A if it has not been nominated a GA. Ok, if it makes GA, let's reconsider, but until then, it ought to be left alone, or a request for clarification made of the 1.0 editorial team. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All the quoted paragraph from the book says is: "and was said to have an eye for the boys as well". It is completely inconclusive. It reports period rumour- and it is unclear if this means he was actually rumoured to have had sex with males. It is about as weak as evidence of someones bisexuality could get... - WJBscribe (WJB talk) 23:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Search as I might, I cannot come up with any information on this person's liking for boys. The quote as it stands is unusable since it is not properly documented. Someone would have to dig up this  book and go through it to find what it really says. So, as it stands I would take the template away for lack of evidence, until further notice.

text: As it seems consensus on this topic has been achieved, I have removed the LGBT template. Jeffpw 07:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Failed "good article" nomination

message: Hey, I've written this article, word-to-word, and had no idea it was nominated as a good article. Great news! Of course, it failed the nomination but still I'm glad (I hadn't entered this article for quite some time now). I hope it improves in the future, either by me or someone else.
