William Moore (animal welfare activist)[edit]

Very limited mention in reliable sources, and then only as an expert for quote. Appears to fail WP:BIO; article itself can thus never be more than boosterism. Danger (talk) 22:21, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article is just a one-sided puff piece. No evidence that he is "world renowned", or any other notability.--Dmol (talk) 22:34, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The bulk of the references are about issues with urban foxes that quote William Moore. There is no substantial coverage that is about him as opposed to quoting him. Note that the citation used to support him being "world-renowned" makes no such statement; although it is in Vietnamese and I am relying on machine translation, it does not appear to make any claims about him other than identifying him with the organisation Foxulution. The second source that is an interview with Moore does not appear to be a reliable source, and in fact may be a self-published source; Major Events International helps companies secure contracts for major events such as the Olympics and is not a publisher. The other articles are about foxes, aside from the last reference which is a movie review written by Moore. Taken together, none of this establishes notability. --- Whpq (talk) 13:34, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
