Nomination of Cassey Ho for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Cassey Ho is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cassey Ho (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Veggies (talk) 05:15, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

• Note: The article looked like it would likely be deleted, so I asked Drmies [1] to close, delete, and userfiy the article until it ever becomes clearly notable: User:I am One of Many/Cassey Ho.

• I think the subject is notable (or at least the business+subject combo is notable) and people were misapplying BLP1E. When you decide the article is ready to move back to mainspace please ping me. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:40, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks. I agree. Unfortunately, I notice that many of the editors who vote in AfD have either created no articles or very few. This article would never have been nominated for deletion if I hadn't put it up for a DYK nomination. I'm pretty sure a couple more reliably sourced articles will come out on her this year and then I think it will be safe to mover her back to article space. I want to avoid another AfD if I can. Thanks so much and I will contact you when she is ready! Cheers! I am One of Many (talk) 21:51, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Frazier Glenn Miller, Jr.

Hi, just a heads up that your reason for reverting this edit at Frazier Glenn Miller, Jr. isn't quite accurate – unless you're referring to a specific bit of information, the stuff the other editor added is definitely in the source. Specifically, it's at the end of the first and beginning of the second pages – perhaps you missed the second page? Anyway, I'm not going to revert you cause the addition was probably problematic in other ways, but you might want to revert yourself or clarify your reasoning accordingly. Keep up the good work! – Arms & Hearts (talk) 02:23, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I opened the source and at the end it said he went to the school and nothing more. Unless I missed something, what happened at the school was not described. I am One of Many (talk) 02:46, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

As I mentioned, it's on the second page. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 02:47, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

• I re-read the article a second time. Miller is evil, but the account written by the IP is simply not in the LA Times article. I am One of Many (talk) 03:00, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I really don't know how you're missing it, but I suppose it's not worth arguing over. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 03:38, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I don't consider this arguing, I want to get it right one way or the other. I'm looking at the LA Times article that the IP linked to. I can't find anything about showing a video in a class room or mention of Embree (just did a search for key words in the article and could not find them). I don't doubt that it happened that way, but my guess is that it comes from another source. I am One of Many (talk) 04:05, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Mark Emmert

If you have an issue with specific information added to Mark Emmert, I would be happy to discuss, as I can find nothing about my additions that goes against wikipedia policy. 97.123.232.199 (talk) 18:36, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Things take time on Wikipedia. Read WP:BLP, WP:NPOV, WP:ORIGINAL, and WP:RELIABLE. I think you will see that BLPs are not the place to dump negative content unless that is an important part of a subject's notability, it is reliably sourced, stays on topic, and does not place undue weight on the negative content. I am One of Many (talk) 19:37, 21 May 2014 (UTC)'

You're right, but I'm not dumping irrelevant negative content. The fact that Emmert is involved in three different lawsuits is absolutely an important part of his notability. He's being sued. It's been sourced reliably, it is on topic, and whatever weight it bears is due. 97.123.232.199 (talk) 19:58, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with Mare Emmert, but what you need to do is add content from clearly reliable and unbiased sources and not form Penn State or legal documents. Here is a list of good sources I see: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11].. Only state what the articles assert and don't provide your own interpretations (it looks like you don't need too). So, if you take everything from articles such as these, you should be ok. Also, try to provide balance if that can be done. Is there anyone defending his actions? What responses has he made. Keep in mind the goal is to provide a neutral account. A neutral account may be quite negative, but it draws on all the reliable sources. I hope that helps. I am One of Many (talk) 21:17, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cassey Ho

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cassey Ho, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:59, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

INSEAD

Please do not engage in an edit war by removing legitimate, factual and truthful information with citations. Please read Wikipedia pages for business schools for consistency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by האורים והתומים (talk • contribs) 04:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I tried to reduce the promotional content a bit, but as an WP:SPA you appear to be too closely tied to the subject, so I tagged it for COI, so others will watch it closely. The article also needs reliable sources. I hope that helps. --I am One of Many (talk) 05:34, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I don't know what an SPA stands for but I created the account because of malicious, unsubstantiated attacks against INSEAD. I am closely tied to the subject but that doesn't make me related to INSEAD. The statement that existed had citations from reliable sources and hence, should not be removed at all. And that statement is universally used for all top business schools globally (please refer to The Wharton School of Business and The Kellogg School of Management for a few pointers.) I have a feeling that you are actually biased against INSEAD and your posts and actions need to be monitored by others closely. --האורים והתומים (talk)

Thanks for your work on this. The bit being "edit-warred" is plainly promotional: the citations, while plentiful in number do not actually support the claim ("one of the best") at all; they merely mention INSEAD and a number of people with lots of money. Meanwhile, it would be good to see more *content* added: for a start, how is this name pronounced? I can guess the original French pronunciation as the bits of the words it came from, but what to people call it in English? Is there even complete consistency? Imaginatorium (talk) 06:39, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

To answer your question, the citations are 100% reliable and all from the authoritative journals such as The Financial Times and Bloomberg Businessweek. The edit war you speak of should not even happen to begin with. The facts that the faculty is second to none, the graduates of the school are global leaders and the recruiters at large consider HBS, Stanford, INSEAD and LBS as the best, all support the claim. It's no brainer(?) --האורים והתומים (talk)

I'm not sure how it is pronounced. Even the ratings are strange. The ones have rate it high have no explanation, almost like they are adds. From what little I have read about INSEAD is that they get there students into good business schools, but little evidence that they are highly rated themselves. Definitely need some reliable sources on this one.I am One of Many (talk) 06:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Regarding editing BAIF Development Research Foundation page

Dear "I am one of many"

Good afternoon,

I am Kunal Sarkar, working for BAIF Development Research Foundation. BAIF is a NGO working for rural poor in India since 1967. We are trying to improve and update information regarding our organisation on the wikipedia page. I have been authorized by my organisation to do the need ful changes. You could have a look at our website for more details( www.baif.org.in). We would be grateful to you if you could allow us to do the needful changes.

Ks.baif (talk) 10:15, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

• I think that you misunderstand what Wikipedia is about. It is an encyclopedia that summarizes notable knowledge. It is not a place to promote an organization, idea or anything else. BAIF looks to me to be notable, but that is only the first step in creating an article within policy on Wikipedia. First, you cannot copy and paste material from your website (see WP:COPYVIO). That means, for example, that you cannot just use material on the BAIF website as the source for the information added to the article. Acceptable sources can be, for example, newspaper articles or scholarly articles (see WP:RELIABLE). Third, there can be no original research (see WP:OR). Fourth, the article must be written neutrally (see WP:NPOV). Fifth, since you are writing for the organization, you do have a conflict of interest (see WP:CONFLICT). I strongly suggest that you read all of the links provided and first discuss on the article talk page how you propose to change the article based on reliable sources. Failure to do so will lead to further reversions of content and possibly even being blocked from editing. So, my best advice is to become familiar with Wikipedia policies before you do any further editing.I am One of Many (talk) 17:34, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

@User:2601:D:A500:2A1:399A:A4D3:4E9C:201E, this is great stuff and I would love to see it included, but it needs to be published in a newspaper, magazine or book first. Wikipedia has policies that prohibit putting content into biographies of living people that do not have reliable sources. As you can see, that is essential to protect the person in question and to create an encyclopedia. So, has any of this been published in say a local newspaper? I take it that you are close to the family, there must be reporters interested in her story? As soon as these details are published, then can be included in the article.I am One of Many (talk) 17:48, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Gertrude Weaver daughter of Slave Charles Gaines

Proof of Charles Gaines being born in the state of Louisiana can be found in Ancestry.com census records . If your looking for proof like a birth certificate that is impossible. In Louisiana in 1861 slaves were considered property not human beings and were not issued birth certificates. Slavery was abolished once the last Confederate units in Louisiana surrendered to Union troops in May of 1865. Even though Charles was only 4 years old at the time and never felt the whip or lash on his back he is still considered a freed slave along with all the other black people in Louisiana at that time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:A500:2A1:399A:A4D3:4E9C:201E (talk) 08:58, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

• OK, I got it. Now, we need a news paper article that connects the Gains side of the family to Gertrude Weaver... I am One of Many (talk) 00:56, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Charles Gaines her father was a slave on that plantation. He does not have a birth record because he is considered property at that time. The Gaines slaves that were freed came from that plantation in Louisiana — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:A500:2A1:D197:D82D:B815:4110 (talk) 01:02, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

• Charles Gaines mentioned as her father in any newspaper articles? Any article or obituary for her three children who have died in the past the makes the connection? I am One of Many (talk) 01:05, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

The exact date that Charles died is unknown as he died before Social Security started up in 1935 it will be hard to find. Charles Gaines is mentioned as her father in many sources all ready known and posted as sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:A500:2A1:D197:D82D:B815:4110 (talk) 01:14, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

• It says that her parents names were Charles and Ophelia Gain, since the last name isn't the same (likely a mistake), I'm not sure what can be done at this point until we get an article that clearly relates them. I am One of Many (talk) 01:29, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

It sounds like there is a very interesting story here. However, editors on Wikipedia can't do the original research for articles. If this information is published in a newspaper, then it can go in, but until writes about it and publishes it in a reliable source such as a newspaper, book, or magazine. I am One of Many (talk) 22:20, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

What could be more reliable than an official government document from the state of Arkansas. Do you realize all information is original research. If a reporter does a story on someone he does original research as background for a story. If someone writes a book on true events he does original research as background for the book. If a magazine does a story on a football player it does original research on what the football player has done. Anytime someone adds a thought or idea and puts it on paper it is original research. If a wikipedia editor reads a story and posts it he has done original research to see if it was worth posting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:A500:2A1:D197:D82D:B815:4110 (talk) 01:22, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
