Thissource is not acceptable proof of Brayer's date/place of birth? It had been included as as a reflink. Yours,65.88.88.56 (talk)17:58, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are two issues with using the California Birth Index. First, and most importantly, it failsWP:BLPPRIMARY. Second, it assumes that the Jon Brayer in the record is the same Jon Brayer as the article. This has been covered multiple times (in conjunction with websites such as Ancestry.com) at theReliable Sources Noticeboard.--Ponyo^{bons mots}18:04, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Jon"? His name is Patrick.65.88.88.56 (talk)18:12, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was a typo of his middle name. The accuracy of the response remains the same.--Ponyo^{bons mots}18:34, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing. As a seasoned editor, do you consider this article (Death of Muhammed Shahabaz) notable? (I know I don't.) Just wondering if it should be PRODded or AFDed. Yours,65.88.88.56 (talk)18:14, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You mention that there's pattern with articles created by a cetain editor. This is not avalid reason to give for deleting but I'm curious what you're seeing and wondering whether this has been seen and validated by others e.g. at AfD. ~Kvng (talk)15:05, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think this one might be controversial to delete without debate, as a religious person of at least alleged notability. I'm deprodding. I only made copy edits.Bearian (talk)18:19, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mind having a look atThomas More (Protestant martyr) again? I’ve added the other more recent references to the subject. I’d also like to suggest that while it’s not hugely notable at the national level it nevertheless represents a significant figure for Leicester as a city, the history of which I’m slowly trying to put together.Me.Autem.Minui (talk)01:31, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh gosh that's so much better! Thanks for your excellent work. Yes, I feel like all my concerns have been resolved there.—Moriwen (talk)01:41, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I’ll take this as a helpful bit of guidance for future new article updatesMe.Autem.Minui (talk)01:44, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
