Talk:J. Hunter Johnson

message: New speedy possibly in response to the set of recently deleted Steve O'Keefe articles. -- JHunterJ 16:08, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not.  70.157.137.105 05:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, it's hard to be sure with IP addresses, but the user's contributions include at least one bit about SC law, and the Steve O'Keefe (attorney) article was about an SC lawyer, which leads to the "possibly" observation. -- JHunterJ 18:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless, your bio contains a link to your personal website (which is self-promotion) and does not assert anything significant or important about you (which makes it a perfect candidate for a speedy).  Why should your bio stay when it doesn't meet minimum standards?  Is it because your admin friends are helping you to usurp these standards?  It appears to be against Wiki rules for you to speedy a bio that asserted some significance about the subject, and it's definitely hypocritical for you to keep your bio when you speedy others inappropriately.  70.157.137.105 22:16, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Links to official websites are within WP:EL.  The assertion of authorship of published books is made. I don't have any admin friends. :-) Your note about "speedy others inappropriately" lends weight to my conjecture that this speedy was related to the previous speedy. I'll remove the prod; next step is an AfD if you like. -- JHunterJ 23:30, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is that you maintain a double standard.  Publishing books does not by itself make one significant or notable.  You haven’t indicated any independent book review or award as Wiki requires to be considered a notable author.  Also, linking to a personal website is a form of self-promotion that Wiki calls a vanity link, which indicates a biased point of view and is also ground for speedy.  On the other hand, you speedy the O'Keefe article when it was not a clear-cut case for speedy.  His lack of fame does not mean that he's any less notable.  His contributions are important and were stated in the article.  The author of that article brought your speedy to my attention, and I am bringing your double standard to everyone else's attention.  70.157.137.105 03:06, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Speedys 

message: RS and reviews of games, especially the older ones, seem to be harder to find than reviews of Johnson's GURPS books. The content of the article, especially the Reception section, was heavily slanted toward the books. There are plenty of RS cited in this article to establish notability per WP:CREATIVE, standard 3, which says the creative professional is notable if his body of work has received coverage in multiple RS. I believe that standard is already met with his books and his gToons game. The Coots article is not a RS because Examiner.com pays writers for each view of their articles, which adversely affects reliability. (That is why the domain is blacklisted by WP.) However, Coots is a professional writer with a decent resume, and again, it is an independent source to help balance the coverage of games with the coverage of books in the article. That is my justification. Dcs002 (talk) 18:52, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have received a copy of the article as it originally appeared in print, in the Centerville-Washington Times. It contains the same exact content. I have therefore used that print source in the citation in this article. Dcs002 (talk) 03:38, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
