Early Life Correction James did not attend Windsor School. This school opened in the mid 1980s when he would have been in his late 30s. He did attend Windsor Boys School in Hamm which closed in 1983. I was there from 1961 - 1965. He was there in my final year when I was in the Upper Sixth.

Moonraker, there's something odd in the Titles and styles section: the second of the three entries has a date range that ends in 1959, decades after she died. I would suspect that the ending date would be the date of her marriage to Pushkin, but there might be something else going on here, or overlapping time frames, so if you could adjust this, that would be great, especially since the DYK nomination has just been promoted to prep.

ClemRutter, the section headed "Inspection" is about the latest ISI report. Ofsted doesn’t inspect prep schools, but it monitors the work of the ISI, which works under a Department for Education license. You may think the "School day" section reads like promotional material? It is cited from the school web site and a non-school source and is only there as useful information. As it happens, I have no connection with the school. Moonraker (talk) 00:54, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

thank you for another good one -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:36, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Per your comment here, it is a discussion, but per WP:AFDEQ and WP:DISCUSSAFD: comments (for keep or delete) should be backed with evidence and should not be personal attacks. So in a way, yes, it is a court. We, the jury, evaluate the evidence against notability guidelines and a closer comes to a verdict. It is not a vote. Comments without evidence, and especially those that only use WP:ATA statements, will likely not be considered a valid argument by an experienced closer. In other words, a "vote" that has evidence is weighted more heavily than a "vote" that does not (and even more so if the comment does not address the subject at all, such as the comment I linked where your "keep" vote was that the nominator was acting in bad faith). Perhaps giving a good read over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Contributing to AfD discussions could be of some benefit? Just because a page is nominated for deletion does not mean nominators can't make mistakes and a good dive into the sources can be beneficial to the article and the project in general. The nominator in this case has already acknowledged they should not have done that many at the same time, so no need to beat a dead horse there. Yosemiter ( talk) 05:03, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
Remember that while AfD may look like a voting process, it does not operate like one. Justification and evidence for a response carries far more weight than the response itself.Those are not my words. I am just trying to help you since you seem unfamiliar with the AfD process based on your oppose statements instead of the normal keep. If more editors are involved in finding good sources during AfD discussions, then Wikipedia would be better overall. Yosemiter ( talk) 06:03, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for that last fix! I should have compared the sentence in the article and the quote in the dissent more carefully, instead of just "oh this is the line" copy-paste-done. I appreciate you making it accurate. Schazjmd (talk) 01:17, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi. First of all, I think replacing "as a child" is wrong because the sentence emphasizes about the first (and most popular) role in whole HP series. WP:TABLOID saying "Routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia." and "Even when an individual is notable, not all events they are involved in are." shows that every single relationship and partnership news is not notable. Also, as WP:BLP states, "Avoid gossip and feedback loops". For example, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Johnny Depp dated Keira Knightley, Ellen Barkin, Marion Cotillard, and Angelina Jolie, but none of them is mentioned anywhere even though all of these people are considered notable. So, not every information is enyclopedic, especially most of the sources are unreliable and the rest of the sources talk about it as "rumored romance". Take care. nyxærös 15:23, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

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 "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 deleted without delay.
