Sir Norman Stronge, 8th Baronet

• Mild oppose. It is a nice article, but it is still weak on his early life and military career, as well as his family life. Those have to be expanded upon if this article is to get an A-grade. Furthermore, according to WP:NCNT, the name of the article should be Norman Stronge, as there seems to be no need for disambiguation.

I'd agree with that, he is likely to have fought in both World Wars, but this is not mentioned apart from briefly in the lead. RHB - Talk 20:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, maybe he didn't fight in WWII, as he got wounded in WWI, but because the nature and seriousness of his injury is not detailed, it is impossible to tell in a review. Errabee 21:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. The article suffers from WP:OWN issues and is also used by some editor in relation to WP:POINT.--Vintagekits 19:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you expand on your reasoning for this? I understand several editors have been commenting on a potential RFC regarding you in Kittybrewsters user space? RHB - Talk 20:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what that has to do with this and also the one that is based around the work of guy that was banned because he was a sock. You mean the RFC that he has had in his users spaces for what seems like months but has never gone anywhere and will never because its without foundation.--Vintagekits 20:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a vote. I believe there is some (maybe a lot) of prior history between Vintagekits and the nominator, which I don't have time to look into right now. Suffice it to say that reviewers are reminded to concentrate on the strengths and weaknesses of the article, no more no less. --kingboyk 01:10, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OWN and WP:POINT are not criteria by which articles get judged. It's the quality of an article that determines if an article gets A-grade or not. Errabee 23:54, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose - the first 44 years of his life get only two short paragraphs; that should be improved. If he really didn't do much during that time, some sort of statement to that effect should be included. Other than that, and possibly the naming question as per Errabee above, it looks good.
