message: This page was previously deleted on grounds of copyright violation.  The source has now been paraphrased, summarised and additional material provided.  Further additional material is expected on "Cornish language" and "Methodology of Cornish Studies" two articles by Deacon, giving his forthright views.===Vernon White -  T A L K . . . to me. 08:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Previous deletion

message: I removed category "Category:Cornish nationalism" added by unregistered editor. As so-called Cornish Nationalists have recently threatened celebrity chefs and fliers of the flag of St. George with violence and demonstrated their ability to light a fire, I suspect the subject of this article would prefer not to be so labelled.  Nationalism and National Identity are two of many topics considered by this subject in his academic work. Vernon White -  T A L K . . . to me. 14:26, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have restored the category, since the imposition of a partisan POV has no place in a reference work. In any event, 'suspicion' cannot constitute grounds for such a move unless, of course, the subject has himself been consulted. 212.219.231.1 08:38, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The unregistered editor did not restore the category, but if he does it should be removed. -- Evertype·✆ 09:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: He's an academic. Nothing special. This article tries too hard to make him sound notable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.2.255.64 (talk) 09:11, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is he significant? 

message: Deacon is not really a linguist, he is a historian and academic in Cornish studies. I can find citations for this position should people need to be convinced, but honestly just reading what's already on his page shows no linguistics (besides being, like many, a Cornish speaker) and a great deal of history and Cornish Studies work.
