Human world losses by country after WWII

Delete. Newly created, misleading, absurd redirect. "Human world" is absurd; "World human" would be plausible but it doesn't read right. And it should be losses during WWII rather than after WWII. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:02, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pineapple_face

Delete, abusive/offensive, not an actual nickname. Relaxing (talk) 16:15, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Dunning (felon)

Severe BLP violation. No source calls Dunning a felon, and the final judgement is not publicly available. His case, where he entered into a plea deal is still ongoing as far as I can make out. His wire fraud case is a not the sole contributor to his notability, and this smacks of grave dancing. IRWolfie- (talk) 08:58, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong: In pleading guilty, Dunning admitted that, between approximately May 2006 and June 2007, he engaged in a scheme to defraud eBay through so-called “cookie stuffing.” According to the plea agreement, commissions paid to Dunning’s company, Kessler’s Flying Circus (KFC), which Dunning owned jointly with his brother, totaled approximately $5.2 million during that period from eBay’s domestic Affiliate Program.Brian's page at FBI.GOV Zaphraud (talk) 04:58, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I wholeheartedly agree that any use of the word "felon" in the title is unnecessary. The subject is well-established as primarily an author and businessman. His court case, once complete, merits a mention in the article but not in the title. I made a quick check and did not find any other BLPs that have that word in the descriptor. Allecher (talk) 13:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe felony convictions for CEOs are regarded as just cutting the teeth in some circles, but for most of the world, pleading guilty to felony fraud does not go along with being a well-established anything, except a well-established felon. It certainly removes any chance anyone would mistake him as a well-established businessman - in many states, he can't even qualify for welfare anymore, let alone a business loan.Zaphraud (talk) 04:58, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – I looked at the FBI most wanted list and other articles and could not find such descriptors. WP:NDESC is the guidance. The parens description is needed only because we have another Brian Dunning. "(author)" serves quite well. (Thanks) – S. Rich (talk) 13:47, 24 May 2013 (UTC) – S. Rich (talk) 16:25, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well OF COURSE he's not on the FBI's most wanted list. He pled guilty and is awaiting sentencing. I think you have a very flawed idea of what the most wanted list is - that's a list of fugitives from the law, not a list of felons. You can find his page on the FBI's website here: [4] Zaphraud (talk) 04:58, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It wouldn't be necessary at all, except for the fact there is more than one guy with that name. As a result, his most notable act - ripping off millions of dollars - should distinguish him. The use of felon here is actually quite kind, as it is merely a legal term, backed by both facts and admission of guilt. It's not like I moved the page to Brian Dunning (mega-thief). Zaphraud (talk) 04:58, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is not for you to go around calling living people felons when no source does and when you connect the dots. That is WP:BLP violation, and a particularly nasty one. There was a plea deal and you don't know the substance of that deal. If you are unable to see why calling someone a felon is a bad idea, then you should not be editing BLPs. If you perform more BLP violations on other biographies I will seek a sanction on the topic area at arbitration enforcement. IRWolfie- (talk) 10:06, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Per the FBI press release on this matter, an "evidentiary hearing to determine the loss amount will be held on August 8, 2013." (The reference is on the Dunning talk page, #4.) With this in mind, we do not know how much was taken. Depends upon what the prove-up. In any event, the parens "(author)" serves quite well to distinguish him from the other Dunning. – S.

  • don't speedy delete. I don't know whether there is a value to having these long term, but it's best to keep them around for at least a short while to help people find the new location. Thryduulf (talk) 09:43, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free image redirect, re-titled owing to duplicative file names. Relevant uses updated, so redirect is redundant. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 06:48, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
