Draft:Alex H. Taylor (edit | [[Talk:Draft:Alex H. Taylor|talk]] |history |protect |delete |links |watch |logs |views)

Hi Mgp28

Thank you for the review. I have updated the draft with independent, reliable secondary sources that provide significant coverage of the subject (beyond passing mentions) and have provided evidence of the person meeting Criteria 2 for academic notability. I kept text changes to a minimum and primarily added citations next to existing statements.

Newly added/clarified independent sources with significant coverage:

RNZ – Our Changing World (feature profile): “Smart birds net researcher PM’s Emerging Scientist Prize,” 12 Nov 2015 — long-form piece discussing Taylor’s work and national prize.

[1]

RNZ – Saturday Morning (extended interview page): “Alex Taylor: crows and intelligence,” 15 Mar 2014 — substantial biographical discussion hosted by a national public-service broadcaster.

[2]

RNZ – Our Changing World (feature profile): “Clever canines,” 25 Jan 2018 — feature on Taylor’s lab and research programme.

[3]

New Zealand Herald (national newspaper, in-depth Q&A profile): “Twelve questions with animal psychologist Alex Taylor,” 2 Apr 2018.

[4]

Science Media Centre (independent coverage of prize cohort): “Prime Minister’s Science Prizes recognise top researchers,” 11 Nov 2015.

[5]

Why this now meets inclusion criteria:

The criterion of "significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people)". The draft now cites multiple independent, reliable sources with significant coverage of the person (RNZ feature profiles and NZ Herald Q&A), not limited to routine announcements or passing mentions.

Criteria 2 of academic notability: Taylor received the Prime Minister’s MacDiarmid Emerging Scientist Prize, a nationally prestigious science award, awarded to a single scientist each year in New Zealand, by the Prime Minister in person, which comes with a NZD 200,000 prize. This is supported by independent coverage (RNZ; Science Media Centre). While GNG alone is sufficient, this provides clear evidence of notability under Criteria 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)).

Minimal changes: Only references were added; prose was left essentially unchanged except for citation placement next to existing statements.

Kindly reconsider the draft for publication in light of these sources and policy points. Thank youNZkea1 (talk)07:37, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for getting in touch. I tend to think a second opinion is more useful than a re-review. That said, some of the references look useful and I will be happy to take a look at them in more detail when I get chance. I'm not sure the MacDiarmid Emerging Scientist Prize is prestigious enough to count forWP:NPROF#C2, but part of the reason for preferring a second opinion is to get a more diverse range of opinions. In the meantime, I will leave the article ready for review and hopefully another reviewer may come along. Best of luck with the draft,Mgp28 (talk)21:42, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again for this. I don't believe the MacDiarmid Emerging Scientist Prize is prestigious enough to count forWP:NPROF#C2. I've been through the sources and I'm not certain. I'll paste my workings intoDraft talk:Alex H. Taylor. If you want to add sources after seeing that then of course that's fine. If you think I'm mistaken we can wait for another reviewer to give a second opinion. Hope that sounds reasonable.Mgp28 (talk)18:46, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
