This article consists of instructions pertaining to the U.S. tax form 1120 for corporations. It reads like something from the IRS. Wikipedia is not a manual WP:notmanual. It appears the article was created by a new Wikipedia editor. Steve Quinn (talk) 06:20, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • The sources above are search pages for the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. There is no specific coverage of this form in the NYT as far as I can tell, and I am not going to look through all the titles to see if one turns up. Also, the tax forms are subjects of these stories and how they might impact constituents concerned with these. The tax forms are mentioned by name and that is it. These articles are not what this Wikipedia article is - the boring minute details of instructions on par with a booklet the IRS produces about what each line item of a tax form means - and this latter description is a summation of what this Wikipedia article is. It is not about "Form 1120" as the subject - it is instructional.
In the Wall Street Journal search page, there is only one hit on Form 1120 and that is a PDF download for Form 7004 in the year 2011 [1]. In the WSJ, here is an article about what to do about taxes if you're an entrepreneur [2]. It is not an approximate replica of IRS instructions, which is all this Wikipedia article is.
Please provide sources that are on point. It is the author's responsibility to provide verification WP:BURDEN. To wit - "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds...material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution." ---Steve Quinn (talk) 22:17, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mark! There are a lot of references in the article itself, including the history section (that includes a reference to two New York Times articles back from 1919: this and this) and in the Reception section (such as a Tax Foundation report, another New York Times article based on an earlier Tax Foundation report, plus other coverage in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and other locations). You and Steve are correct to note that a lot of this coverage does not specifically discuss the individual lines of the form, but media coverage of a form is generally going to discuss its broader social implications (including the cost of compliance, reporting requirements, etc.) and not individual lines. I believe that this external coverage of the form (across the decades) is sufficient to establish notability. Whether some individual details need to be included or not (i.e., whether individual pieces of information have adequate reliable third-party coverage) is a separate issue.
As I noted above, although I didn't create the article I did ask for it to be created and worked closely with the author. Subsequently (after the nomination for deletion), I have added a lot of content to the page, some of it prompted by the concerns raised here.Vipul (talk) 21:01, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I can agree with Mark and Joseph - merging is probably the best possible outcome for the page under discussion. Vipul, the point is this article does not reflect any kind of significant coverage from reliable sources. The topic "corporate taxation" is most likely notable - but this tax form is not notable, and this article is formatted and reads like an IRS tax manual. ----Steve Quinn (talk) 04:03, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This has actually (1) not substantially improved since starting in August 2008 but (2) also has not actually substantially improve since the 1st AfD by DGG in January 2013, that AfD itself was kept because of a few links listed but that's all they were, a few links and quote "paragraphs", nothing substantial and my own searches have found this also. This has also not improved since Drmies tagged and protected three years ago (note he deleted his own 2nd AfD). The first two sources, The Argus and Spiegel.de mention them a few times but it's still questionably borderline at best. I should note I still confirm my original PROD: "Listed sources are not actual substantial coverage sources and their own links are also noticeably listed, my searches also found nothing convincingly better to suggest this can be improved. The best source listed, The Telegraph, is only a mere paragraph about the website listed along with several other websites". SwisterTwister talk 21:36, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus to delete. Editors are divided on whether to delete this content. The text as written when this AfD began was clearly unsatisfactory, but during the course of the AfD, Patar knight has substantially rewritten it. His rewrite was a marked improvement but I should think some additional sources will be needed in future. If they are not forthcoming I would expect that this content will end up being merged into health insurance in due course. This "no consensus" close does not preclude this outcome, which can be proposed in the normal way. What this discussion has found is that health cash plans should not become a redlink.—S Marshall T/C 21:16, 20 July 2016 (UTC) [reply]

Keep:A quick google search uncovered several reliable sources covering this topic, Including this 2006 article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/insurance/2947195/Extract-more-value-from-your-cash-plan.html Also characterizing the creator of this article as an wp:SPA seems to contravene wp:AGF. Ottawahitech (talk) 07:47, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not if you look at the fact that the editor never did anything but promote HealthShield on several articles, write an article on HealthShield, and write an article on HealthShield's major product, the cash plan. Once he did that, the editor had no further interest in contributing to the encyclopedia. Sounds like a single purpose to me. Would you rather I cited WP:NOTHERE?

@MSJapan: what the hell does an SPA have to do with the notability of a topic? the article may be poorly written but that doesn't mean that it's not notable. Demonstrate its lack of notability, not the quality of the writing. Mr rnddude (talk) 03:13, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Well, here's lack of notability for you. No GNews hits, and every regular hit in the top 20 to "health cash plan" is sourced to a company that sells one. Therefore, one is going to be very hard-pressed to find NPOV sourced in and amongst the advertisement. Yes, it exists, but WP:ENN. That Telegraph article isn't substantial enough for coverage, and if that's it, then that's saying something about GNG, isn't it? MSJapan (talk) 03:55, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@MSJapan:, might I request a quick google books search for "health cash plans". I'm curious what you make of it, would you still consider this for delete or not. The article most definitely needs significant work, but, is there any notability to it? Mr rnddude (talk) 05:05, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what you're finding, but I'm finding a lot of "how to use a health cash plan in investing"; "guide to selling cash plans for financial advisors", "employer's guide to health cash plans" and the like. Just because it's an investment vehicle and an employment item doesn't mean it's notable if the the only coverage is commercial in nature. Wikipedia is not a how-to on what you should do with your money or what your responsibilities are as an employer, or how to sell a product to a customer. Everybody sells Band-Aids, but we don't assess notability or write the article based on that fact alone. MSJapan (talk) 06:10, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You have a point, I took a second look and yes, they're all how to guides on selling health cash plans. I can back deletion for this article. Mr rnddude (talk) 06:20, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a writer, with no particularly strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR for any particular accomplishment and no reliable source coverage present to support it -- the sourcing is entirely to primary sources like the self-published websites of her own business endeavours.

The citations provided include several that lack independence or are the subject's own work. I have done a search for independent reliable sources: what I was able to find makes only a borderline case for retention of the article. The subject's work does not appear to have met the notability criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia, but I would like others to check that work and identify some acceptable sources if they do in fact exist. Specific concerns with the existing refs are as follows: 1. LinkedIn profile fails WP:I and WP:RS; 2.) The Poetrypotion website and journal appears to be a journal that publishes poetry, not a journal that reviews it or critiques it, and as near as I am able to tell it has no editorial oversight with all of its non-poetry content generated by the journal's founder, Duduzile Zamantungwa Mabaso; 3. Piece written by the subject, fails WP:I; 4. This is a PDF to one of the subject's poems, making it a WP:PRIMARY SOURCE; 5. This is a press release/ information packet PDF, not a citation to an independent reliable non-trivial source; 6.

This article was created by Oanabay04 (talk · contribs), who was banned for massive copyright infringement. This is one of several articles he wrote dealing with SEPTA's diesel services on the Fox Chase Line. There isn't wholesale copyright infringement that I've been able to detect; I removed minor infringements last September. What concerns me is that when I checked the various citations he'd sprinkled in throughout the article I didn't find information which backed the assertions. Possible conclusions are that he just wrote an essay and sprinkled in citations to give a veneer of respectability, or he committed copyright infringement from some heretofore unknown source. Either way, I don't think the current article's history should stay on Wikipedia. The topic is absolutely notable, but it's covered for now on Fox Chase Line#Beyond Fox Chase. There's nothing in the current article which I'd feel safe merging.

Short version: the topic is notable but the current article is toxic and should be deleted as preventative measure, with no prejudice toward recreation from sources by a non-banned user. Mackensen (talk) 23:37, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Fox Chase Line#Beyond Fox Chase. Oanabay04's flagrant copyright violations are revolting enough, but the notability convinces me it's worth keeping and rewriting. Plus you did mention that you removed the copyvios. On the other hand, if you decided to delete it and I just restored it as a redirect, I hope the original version's tainted history won't show up. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 00:02, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per DanTD (and I agree with the deletion the create the redirect method). It's a notable topic, probably with enough independent notability for its own article, but the mess that that sock-puppet-using, POV-pushing serial plagiarist left should be expunged from the public record. oknazevad (talk) 00:28, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. This is a POV-fork by an editor with a conflict of interest, or at least the appearance of one. Anything of value in this article can be moved to the Fox Chase Line page. --Coemgenus (talk) 02:27, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per nomination, though I'd like to see it recreated (or the section in the Fox Chase Line expanded) as soon as possible. Although some of the current sources might be valid and useful, it's probably best to redo the history with 100% certainty. (Incidentally, I did just upload File:Fox Chase Rapid Transit Line 1981 schedule.pdf which is a PD replacement for one of the fair-use images in the article.)

Repeat nomination, inspired in large part by the prevailing argument at WP:Articles for deletion/Kanwal Ameen. The subject of this particular article similarly fails WP:GNG and WP:PROF - he does not hold a named chair position anywhere nor has contributed to his field of study in any way sufficient to be immortalised on Wikipedia. The initial version of the article was a blatant promotion and most likely was created on behalf of a marketing agency once involved in promotion of the article subject elsewhere on the internet (I have been warned not to out it). After one nomination the article somehow survived deletion, but still fails any and all notability criteria for Wikipedia in my view. Hence repeat submission. — kashmiri TALK 23:17, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am finding lots of press releases about his work in Medical Devices & Surgical technology Week. They do not contribute to GNG but they do show that he is providing ongoing contributions in his field. There are a couple of articles where he is quoted in newspapers and a bit of trivia for the article that he was the reconstructive surgeon for Joe Thornton. Really nothing biographical out there but he meets PROF#C1 by his publications and per consensus in the previous AfD so I am changing my Comment to Keep.

@Jbhunley: Would you be able to doublecheck whether the citations are not mostly self-citations? That's pretty common in academia, unfortunately, and for someone so strongly engaged in self-promotion as the subject this would be highly likely. — kashmiri TALK 11:59, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not digging through over 400 papers but his stats are so high I seriously doubt there are more that the usual number of self cites. He has, according to my report from the Publish or Perish software, 433 papers over 38 years with 9223 cites to those papers. His top 20 papers average about 20 cites per year. He averages 242 cites per year overall but only a little over 10 papers per year so even a first order inspection (not to mention common sense based on H) says he is not getting his numbers by self citation. As a comparison, one of the co-authors of his most cited paper WPA Lee, who is a Professor of Plastic and Recnstructive Surgery at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine has h=32, g=51, 347 papers over 28 years, 3529 total cites, top 10 papers average about 10 cites.

Yeah, this guy seems to promote himself more than I find tasteful for anyone in the academic or medical world but he is a major contributor to his profession and a long way from some fad "Doctor to the stars!!" type of guy. JbhTalk 14:01, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I really wonder if that's indeed a lot. I run names of a few personally known doctors/professors of medicine in Google Scholar and get 764 publications by "E Mercuri" (yes, this is all one person), 1130 by "E Bertini" (again one person), 1,300 by "F Muntoni", 502 for "A Manzur", etc. Do they all deserve an article just based on the number of publications? I am VERY hesitant to equate plain number of publications with substantial contribution to the field. — kashmiri TALK 18:29, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well "E Mercuri" when you correct for there being two in similar fields (Euginio is an Associate Professor of Pediatric Neurology the other seems to be a geneticist) has H=38 and 457 papers over 48 years so maybe he has a long career worth looking at or maybe "he" is more than one person. "E Bertini" may be of interest his H=75+ (I stopped the query Google was getting annoyed) (The high citation rate may come from Eugenio Bertini of Bertini's Theorum so not one person either.) but both of them are in genetics and each field has differing citation rates, "A Manzur" is unlikely one person either as the search is returning papers on Dark matter and Glucocorticoids - wildly different fields.

In any case all of those people may be worthwhile to look at for articles if they are indeed one person. With this subject at a minimum all of the papers which contribute t his H-index are in the field of plastic surgery and a scroll through the others looked like they were as well - there are other Yaremchuks in academia so there is a posibility of crossover in total citation count due to limitations of the profiling software and how much time I want to spend tweeking it but based on expending about twice as much effort As I did to figure out the issues with the examples you gave I did not find any issues with the Yarmechuk. Also, WP:OTHERSTUFF. Also, no one it talking about total papers they are talking about total citations and citations per paper. See H-index ("Among 36 new inductees in the National Academy of Sciences in biological and biomedical sciences in 2005, the median h-index was 57") and G-index which are standard metrics for academics sort of like Impact factor is for academic journals.

There is a link to the previous AfD above, those interested in the arguments can easily browse there.

  • the enormous number of citations to his work is conclusive. Agricola44 (talk) 22:54, 11 July 2016 (UTC).[reply]
  • It is generally accepted that the NUMBER OF CITATIONS is NOT a measure of impact in the discipline. This was actually the rationale for coming up with more complex measures, like impact factor, Eigenfactor, h-index and others, some of which also look into HOW the article was cited, in particular by what other authors, by what journals and, also, by what publishers. There have been unfortunate cases bordering academic fraud where some (well-known) academic publishers incentivised authors to cite only from journals published by the same publisher, or required a given percentage of such citations (coercive citation). So, your assertion that bare "number of citations" is equivalent to impact is plainly wrong. — kashmiri TALK 16:15, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • This comment is so wrong-headed that I don't even know where to start with it. First, what you claim is "generally accepted" is the opposite of reality. Second, "impact factor" should never be used to measure individual papers or the people who publish them, as many reliable sources report. Third, eigenfactor and h-index are basically just numbers of citations in fancier dress. Fourth, your insinuations of academic misconduct in a case where there is none border on being a major WP:BLP violation. And fifth, nobody is asserting that "bare number" of citations is what is relevant; rather, they're asserting that this high number in comparison with other academics in the same discipline shows a high impact. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:30, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Are you implying that the citation record of a chief at Mass General has been falsified? Agricola44 (talk) 18:48, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
h-index of 12 in social sciences (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kanwal Ameen) could not satisfy many WP editors as conclusive for notability. Let us see the only indicator; h-index of 38 or 44 in medical and health sciences pass notability? Syed Rahmat Ullah Shah (talk) 23:15, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Conventionally, 10 to 15 is borderline. H-index is not "linear" in the way some people think it is, but is rather at least quadratic and 38 is above most academics on WP. It far exceeds PROF c1 requirements (his raw count is >3000). Your observations are much more applicable to early-in-career academics rather than senior ones at top research institutions. This will end in "keep" without question. Agricola44 (talk) 05:43, 12 July 2016 (UTC).[reply]
We should take in to account the differences of disciplines; medicine and health sciences, social sciences. Medicine and health sciences publication and citation trend can be seen in Web of Science where there are citation based indicators. Medicine related journals have impact factor of three digits. It is not rare. Social sciences in comparison have smaller single digit impact factors in few research journals. We need to be little bit realistic in setting any bottom. Syed Rahmat Ullah Shah (talk) 13:12, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Again, there is a vast difference between h-indexes of 12 vs 38. This individual has >3000 citations to his work, which is larger than most academics on WP, including those who work in medicine and the sciences (Most science/medical papers are cited either only 0 or 1 time; see the review article The top 100 papers by VanNoorden et al in Nature 2014). Because this conclusively satisfies PROF c1, this article is certain to be kept. Sorry. Agricola44 (talk) 13:44, 15 July 2016 (UTC).[reply]
There is numeric difference between h-index of 12 and 38. We need to consider differences of disciplines; social sciences and medical sciences. Authorship patterns are also important to consider. Authorship in social scineces has no trends of including all research group members as real authors of any research article. It is accepted in sciences including health sciences. Single paper of a dozen authors definitely gets more citations. Citation patterns (stated above) by kashmiri are also worth noticing. I don't know in terms of 'end in "keep" without question' and 'article is certain to be kept'. No need to say sorry. Nothing wrong to me if it is kept as final decision but only h-index of 38 in health sciences is not convincing in this case. Syed Rahmat Ullah Shah (talk) 15:20, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I seem unable to impress upon you that h-index of 38 shows more impact than most academics on WP and is likewise far above average in medicine. I'm retiring from this discussion. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 18:48, 15 July 2016 (UTC).[reply]

If the filer had blanked the page or requested speedy per G7 early on, that would be different. I'd rather not decide whether A7 applies to these two articles.

This page was created as advertising by the developer of a hoax product called the "Shabbos App". It caused a small amount of controversy for a short period of time, but all of that controversy was predicated on there actually being such a thing as the "Shabbos App". There never was. The official website of the "app" is gone. This was all a clever trick. Wikipedia is not to be used in this way, and the momentary controversy caused by the creator of the hoax is hardly notable. - Lisa (talk - contribs) 19:57, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That rationale falls under WP:OR. Just because it would burn out people's phone, it doesnt mean it was a hoax. You might not believe it ever existed, and it might not have, but unless you find a WP:RS stating it as a fact, it has to be written on WP as if it was real and never released. - GalatzTalk 13:04, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

True, but at the time of the second nomination, the thing still at least had a website. There was room to argue that there was something there. And even so, the fact that the page was created by the "developer" of the "app" shouldn't be allowed to stand. It sets a bad precedent. - Lisa (talk - contribs) 08:30, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This was deleted at AfD just a month ago, userfied after a trip through DRV, immediately moved to draft space, and the resubmitted with only the addition of a few very dubious sources (twitter and random esports blogs). I don't see how any of the objections at the original AfD were met by this new draft. The article in thisisgame.com is in Korean, which I don't read, but from the auto-translation, appears to be an interview, which is not a reliable secondary source.

Delete Hi, Snehahurrain, Thank you for providing references, but I don't believe that provided references are credible enough. Wikipedia does not consider IMDB as a reliable source for career credits. Wikipedia:Citing_IMDb#Inappropriate_uses has more details on this matter. Most of the information on IMDB is user provided.

Your 2nd source http://www.tv.com.pk/ is one of the verticals of http://www.onepakistan.com.pk/. One Pakistan claims to be a Pakistan's new portal, but it's own "About Page" located at permalink http://www.onepakistan.com.pk/data/corp/ suggests that it is a marketing company, and not an organization that is considered to publish trustworthy information. I quote from their website

OnePakistan.com is a venture of Growfurther Infotech Inc, a private company specializes in brand building, marketing and web 2 development

.
A link from a marketing website can not be relied upon to be a trustworthy source.
http://www.stylishpie.com/top-5-pakistani-celebrities-look-younger-real-age/ resembles a listicle functioning as a clickbait. The website itself states that it is a Pakistan celebrity gossip site. Wikipedia has strict standards on what constitutes a reliable reference. All references must pass WIKIPEDIA:CHALLENGED criteria. I am not sure that a gossip site like stylishpie meets that criteria.
In the absence of sources that meet WIKIPEDIA:CHALLENGED, I believe that this article should be deleted. Manoflogan (talk) 07:28, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Still nothing to suggest the needed independent notability as the longest work and, major frankly, was only 12 episodes of a TV series for about 1 year; the others are simply a few appearances as a TV character; my searches have found nothing so far to suggest he has any independent notability for an article.

  • Comment. Did I read that correctly that a person is notable because First Lady & President of a country visit his shrine regularly?? Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 16:19, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The person who was so notable that his resting place is an important enough shrine that the President of the country makes regular trips? Sounds like notability to me. There's a fair amount of coverage of this person from travel guides to Azerbaijan ([24], [25], [26], [27]) and from sources in Azerbaijiani which go more in-depth [28], [29]. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 18:51, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable per WP:NALBUMS, no secondary sourcing found. Deprodded to suggest merging, but I would rather this be deleted to make way for the upcoming Florida Georgia Line album of the same name. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 00:39, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, I deprodded it because it shouldn't be deleted. I suggested merging as a "worst case scenario". If you'd waited a minute, I added to the talk page two reviews in relevant publications, and references to one of the issues in the series charting in CMJ. This series is notable in a Canadian campus & community radio context if nothing else. I also like that you're basing your deletion choice on a completely different topic. - BalthCat (talk) 00:47, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The sources you've shown are likely. I couldn't find any more sources on my own. Even if this is kept, I still think the FGL album should get the title per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as someone searching for "Dig Your Roots" is far more likely to be looking for a major-label album by an A-list act with several #1 hits.

NN criminal, notability not asserted, WP:TOOSOON as an event article, WP:BIO1E (because it is still very much a BIO article masquerading as something else, and WP:NOTNEWS at this point as well. The fact that the subject's entire criminal history (which is also the majority of the content of this article) is sourced primarily to one article written after his death does not meet the BIO requirement of establishing notability prior to death. I assume this is why it was created as an EVENT article, and yet all we have is "the event happened." At the very least this is a footnote in the gangland feud article, but as no actual connection has been established, this should not be redirected there based on supposition, and the article needs to be weighed on its merits as a standalone article.

@Autarch: So what you're telling me is a) the shooting was apparently not related to the event that caused this article in the first place, and b) that the subject is a notable criminal because he claimed to have worked for the IRA and tried to shoot a Garda 35 years ago? Sounds pretty run-of-the-mill as far as a criminal goes, but maybe I'm just cynical and don't find it surprising that an armed criminal tried to kill a police officer. I don't want to use an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, but a lot of the articles in Category:Irish criminals (and particularly the "Irish republicans imprisoned on charges of terrorism" subcat) have shown heavy coverage (often upwards of 20 sources) of the events and trials surrounding the individuals, even if they were just on trial for raids. So it seems that there is a fairly high bar in place for notability strictly on IRA grounds, and I'm not sure why we can't find which raids Douglas allegedly participated in.
One of the problems that occurs is that certain people get no coverage until they die. WP:BIO also indicates that we have to show notability prior to death, and thus far, the whole of his "criminal past" has appeared to have come out in post-death material (a case of WP:RECENTISM. I don't really put too much stock in a claim the IRA never substantiated, especially when it was more convenient for the Gardai to believe him. I'm not sure how easy it is to do, because I've had no luck, but you're going to need to find earlier coverage, during his life, aside from an arrest report. MSJapan (talk) 19:31, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Can you point to the place where WP:BIO "indicates that we have to show notability prior to death." It is not unusual for an individual to show notability only after his death, Jane Austen and Henry Darger are in that category. In this case, we have a major newspaper bio/profile of Douglas written after his death, (Latest feud victim was long-time member of Provisional IRA, Cusack, Jim.

Except the last point does not appear to be the case; it was speculative at the time, and does not seem to have been borne out. The initial notability here was presumed on that relationship. Barring that, I don't see what makes him notable - he's not the only PIRA member, he's not the only Irish drug dealer, etc., and I suppose what I find to be the biggest problem is that the only person who said he was PIRA was the subject. Now, that may be the norm, but it's a legitimate concern, I think. None of those things presumes GNG, as there aren't articles on every drug dealer or PIRA member. Maybe I'm just not impressed through some Clockwork Orange-style lack of "superviolence" here, but I just don't see how this is anything more than an article on a run-of-the-mill criminal whose notability (because this was written as events unfolded instead of a "lagging indicator" as it should have been) was predicated on something that wasn't proven.
