- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was delete. Although a significant minority of users advocated a merge, in the case of BLP issues we should err on he side of caution. The waters are further muddied by the personal involvement of several users participating here, but in the end I believe the best thing for Misplaced Pages is deletion, with no prejudice against recreation as a redirect to a properly sourced, neutral section in the target article.

WP:FORK. District-court cases do not merit their own articles under WP:N. As LEW says, it is well-settled law that the statute of limitations runs from the date of publication. (COI disclaimer: I am a defendant in this case. Also, I have been sued (along with twelve other parties) a second time under an accusation that I have "incited" others to defame Wolk whenever someone writes about this lawsuit. And I don't want to be accused of inciting if someone writes something in Misplaced Pages that Wolk doesn't like, so I hereby announce that my position is that no one should ever write anything about Arthur Alan Wolk on Misplaced Pages ever unless they have Arthur Wolk's permission.) THF (talk) 14:57, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- Do you mean that this article is a WP:POVFORK? If so, where was this article forked from? There appears to be an edit war currently on this page, but the first three references (staff blog on reason.com, law.com, and philadelphia biz journal) appear to bring the subject of this article above the bar of the WP:GNG. Thanks for the disclaimer; that's a significant COI. VQuakr (talk) 15:16, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- Seems to be forked from Arthur Alan Wolk, where a WP:SPA has deleted it. I don't know why there is a COI tag on the fork but not on the main article, but I'm not going to edit either article, because I do not have Arthur Wolk's permission to write about Arthur Wolk on Misplaced Pages. THF (talk) 15:22, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

- Delete - As per all of above. Off2riorob (talk) 15:55, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- Redirect to Arthur Alan Wolk, it's a POV fork that should be redirected back to the main article. There seems to be a dispute over whether or not the contents of this article belong on the page, but that's a discussion that must take place on the talk page. Either way, this does not merit a separate article.--hkr Laozi speak 16:15, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- And no comment on the editing dispute currently going on between User:Off2riorob, User:Lawrencewarwick and User:Boo the puppy over possible WP:BLP violations. Whatever conflicts there are should be resolved on the talk page, a POV fork is unwarranted. I maintain my redirect, since a redirect is, by itself, not defamatory (or is it? I'm relatively new here, so could someone more familiar with BLP clarify?).--hkr Laozi speak 16:46, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- "The diff provided below on User:LEW: I am self employed, a partner in Websketching.com which is a website developer and online marketing firm", is extremely alarming.

- Delete Article should not be merged with main article Arthur Alan Wolk because it is a minor issue and bloated coverage calling attention to potentially defamatory material, which is why it was removed by User:Off2riorob in the first place. LEW (talk) 18:18, 4 November 2010 (UTC)— Lawrencewarwick (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Comment Please be aware of this legal threat regarding "posting information not relevant to Mr. Wolk's area of expertise" and demanding that this article be deleted. Also interesting: Ms. deGraff's employer and User:Lawrencewarwick's recent admission that contradicts this earlier implausible claim. THF (talk) 18:25, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- Comment if this AfD closes as Merge, whatever administrator does the closing should lay down the law at the Wolk article that the material belongs there and the Community consensus on the issue has been determined.
