Sampson

The picture File:Sampson (horse).jpg appears in fact to be Brooklyn Supreme. See for example here and here. DuncanHill (talk) 00:07, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Quite possible. Seems various parts of the internet attribute this photo to different horses. Unclear if we'll ever definitively know which is which, though on balance I'd guess this was Brookyln Supreme. Seems sensible to avoid using images unless the horse in question can be definitively identified. Thanks for bringing this up, please make any edits you see fit. --LukeSurl t c 15:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed as Not Done, as it was merged into the proposed page title and converted into a more expanded article. Sennecaster (Chat) 18:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article Blood quota has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

  • WP:Notability: the concept of the "Blood Quota," as described in the article, fails to meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines.The sources cited in the article are primarily focused on Abimael Guzmán and the Shining Path, rather than on the "Blood Quota" concept itself. The term does not have the independent significance required for a standalone article.
  • WP:Verifiability: the "Blood Quota" article contains several claims that are not adequately supported by citations from reliable sources.
  • WP:NPOV - the tone is overwhelmingly negative and lacks balance, failing to provide a comprehensive view of the topic. For example, it describes the concept as one that "communist militants willfully promoted hatred and violence to attract adherents," which is a loaded statement that does not reflect a neutral perspective. Additionally, the article does not offer any counterpoints or broader historical context that could provide a more balanced view.
  • WP:OR: Some parts of the article appear to be original analysis or synthesis of the Shining Path’s ideology and actions. For instance, the interpretation of the "Blood Quota" as a core tenet of Gonzalo Thought and its implications for the Shining Path’s strategy is not directly supported by the cited sources.

Therefore, it is appropriate that the article has been deleted from the Spanish Wikipedia, and it should not be reintroduced in EN.wiki in its current form. The writing is disorganized, with sections that are poorly structured and redundant. For example, the discussion of the Lucanamarca massacre is repeated in different sections without clear organization - this makes the article difficult to follow and understand. Additionally, the writing style is not sufficiently encyclopedic, with a tone that is more suited to a narrative or polemic piece rather than an objective, informative encyclopedia entry.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
