I have nominated Steven Slater, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steven Slater. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Is it true that Shri Mataji has passed away? I don't see any official notice, but IPs are adding today as the date of death to the biography. If true, you have my sincere condolences. Will Bebacktalk21:18, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
I pushed the vandalism button here instead of going to my watchlist. I wasn't going to revert. However, you should read WP:RS, because it isn't even close to being reliable sources. Someone else will revert, and you will be in a ridiculous edit war. Anyways, I'm not going to edit war with you on your POV edits. However, I do apologize, you are most certainly not a vandal.

Enric, firstly you have provided a link to an article that I've had nothing to do with (Sudden infant death syndrome?). I assume you are responding to a reference added to the Cold Fusion article. The text in relation to the reference is general, non controversial and is not an assessment by myself - merely a rephrase. Yes, secondary sources are preferred on Wikipedia but that is not to say that primary ones cannot be used. Freelion (talk) 23:41, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Freelion, until some fairly deep changes are made, it's impossible to develop this article to make it meet WP guidelines regarding reliable sourcing for science articles, which consider peer-reviewed secondary sources to be the gold standard. Such sources certainly exist, in fact, there have been about 17 published since 2005. But they are generally excluded on arguments that the authors are "fringe," or the like, which is a radical misinterpretation of RS standards (independent publisher, not independent author). I'm topic banned here on this topic, though apparently I'm allowed to make user talk page comments, hence I'm inviting you to come on over to Wikiversity and see the resource on this topic there. There are pages with recent sources, including all known secondary sources published in mainstream journals since 2005, and the topic can actually be discussed on Wikiversity, which is not an encyclopedia, it's a collection of educational resources. It's possible to create a draft article there, that could eventually be proposed, perhaps by RfC, to replace the WP article, let the best article win! The normal WP process of incremental editing results in article-by-committee, which can be very spotty and incoherent.
