Verifiability

Hi Qflib. You removed a couple of cn tags that I had added over at Daniel Lazard. While I am aware that the subject added that information himself some time ago, and it is not promotional etc (so the level of sourcing required is not high); I don't think that it satisfies verifiability as stands. Am I missing something? Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:51, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

I feel that basic biographical data, when confirmed by the subject on the talk page, need not be supported by citations. If you feel strongly otherwise you may put the tags back again. Qflib, aka KeeYou Flib (talk) 21:54, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Feeling strongly about it is an exaggeration, but I did revert to re-add the tags. I'm not suggesting that we remove these facts by any means, but it would be worthwhile to source them, at least to the subjects CV or an interview or other WP:SPS. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:44, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

I don’t disagree, but marking facts as needing citation can result in their eventual deletion, which to me doesn’t seem warranted. Anyway, I will defer. Qflib, aka KeeYou Flib (talk) 19:51, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Russ, did you see the note recently posted in Talk:Daniel Lazard? Given our exchange here I’m not sure how to respond to it. Your input would be valued. Qflib, aka KeeYou Flib (talk) 20:59, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Qflib, thanks for bringing this up. I saw the note, and have been intending to get back to it. I looked through in detail, and it looked like part of the edit was completely uncomplicated to make. The other part I'm not entirely sure about, but I found a possibly-useful link in the ENS library. (See the talk page.) Note that a library record for a thesis is a secondary source (although the thesis itself is primary). I'll also put a note about the cn tags on the talk page -- I think we agree that the material belongs in the article, and also that it should at least ideally have an external place where one can verify it.
