Talk:Hyman G. Rickover: Difference between revisions

Resources section

What's the point of this section? It looks like a dumping ground for someone's research project listing a boat-load of articles either written by Rickover or about Rickover and not very useful or conventional. Toddst1 (talk) 21:39, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

It's unique, but so was Rickover, who continues to have articles and papers and books written about him in 2019...119 years after his birth. It's a comprehensive, encyclopedic list of resources for current and future students of Rickover and nuclear power, both military and civilian. Assume good faith, please. --67.48.200.162 (talk) 16:02, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

I agree with Toddst1 (talk) that the article shouldn't function as a "dumping ground" for a big long list of articles that aren't directly relevant to the article in question. Andrew Englehart (talk) 21:29, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks @Andrew Englehart:. I don't see any reason to deviate from WP:NOTREPOSITORY, so I'm removing the section. Toddst1 (talk) 00:12, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

I performed extensive cleans to this page a few years ago, as it had become riddled with hagiographical and rambling material, and faced opposition from a user in a very similar fashion to what is occurring now. I support continued attempts at cleans here, removing absurd sections like "Words of wisdom", or else this is going to just turn into a giant overly-detailed puff piece again.

Restored & expanded per citation. Two people do not form a "consensus" to delete this very encyclopedic section. Moreover, using pejoratives like "dumping ground" does not indicate clear & unbiased thinking. --104.15.130.191 (talk) 15:14, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Yep, it's consensus and I have an opinion - hence I am biased. You did not have any support for its restoration and has been removed.

I'll assert that my thinking is clear and we can do without the ad-hominem attacks.

Note that 104.15.130.191 and 67.48.200.162 appear to be the same IP hopper from Austin Texas. Toddst1 (talk) 17:08, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Culled the "Resources" section for its apparently offending material (Rickover-referencing PhD dissertations, presidential library references, etc.), and limited this content to Rickover's authored, published works and notable, published biographics. As a sidebar, I do not control my IP address (does anyone?). --104.15.130.191 (talk) 14:11, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
