Non-notable individual, no substantial coverage of him or his books in independent RS found. (interviews/podcasts don't count towards GNG) (t · c) buidhe 01:45, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No evidence of notability, poor sourcing (none of it seems independent), and (this is a feeling, nothing factual), it feels a little promotional to me. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 13:10, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the opinion.
    Both books Suffering-Focused Ethics: Defense and Implications and Reasoned Politics have been endorsed by more notable individuals like David Pearce and Jamie Mayerfeld (e.g. here). I didn't want to mention this because that would seem like promotion, I thought. But if such endorsements serve as evidence of notability, I can include them in the article.
    Re. more independent sources: I just updated the article to include such sources. BR, Plasmastate (talk) 17:37, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The sources you added seem to either be by Vinding or say virtually nothing about him. (t · c) buidhe 20:43, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, fails GNG, NBIO and PROF as per Google and Google News searches for the subject. I don't see any content that could be merged. The article is just a list of things Magnus Vinding has written, plus a redlink to the organisation he set up. Comment for Plasmastate: note that Wikipedia has established definitions of notability; it is not fully up to us to debate here. To keep this article about Magnus Vinding, it needs to be shown that he meets either WP:GNG, or WP:NBIO or WP:PROF (the two subject-specific guidelines for articles about persons). ‎⠀Trimton⠀‎‎ 02:25, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It seems to me that the subject does meet WP:GNG, since Magnus Vinding has been interviewed by a number of independent (as far as I can tell) sources, which I don't see a reason to call unreliable (interview 1, interview 2, interview 3, interview 4, interview 5, interview 6, panel 1). Plasmastate (talk) 18:29, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    OK and is that coverage (of Magnus Vinding) in those interviews significant? What's in the article doesn't seem like it. E.g. discussion of his background, things he did and his ideas ‎⠀Trimton⠀‎‎ 20:50, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Interviews are clearly not independent sources (as they are produced, clearly, in collaboration with the subject...); and nothing else to substantiate a claim of meeting WP:GNG has been presented. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 04:48, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
