Proposed deletion of Morgan Dee Voon
[edit]The article Morgan Dee Voon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This article is a well constructed fabrication about a non-existent person, an alleged female amateur scientist who is said to have influenced the Czech-born founder of modern genetics Gregor Mendel and may have been his mistress. She is also purportedly linked to a few other scientific constructs actually created by other people of a similar name. The article is well-written with all criteria of verifiability seemingly fulfilled. However, all four provided references refer to off-line sources related to Gregor Mendel and as far as we could check those sources, they include no mention of any female friend of Mendel called Morgan Dee Voon: ad 1) Hilaire Cuny has indeed written a book called Morgan, but his topic was the American geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan, as shown here; ad 2) The work by Alfonso L. Garay is searchable at Google Books and reveals a single mention of Morgan which is again the American geneticist T. H. Morgan, as shown here; ad 3) Papers in chemistry indeed includes an article about the periodic table, which is probably a reprint from another journal that contains no mention of Morgan. The very term periodic square, which feels like a scientific inner joke, has been actually used by a Morgan, but this was some Samuel P. Morgan in Bell Laboratories in 1948 and the subject of his study was electric conductivity of metals. ad 4) The only recent book cited is not available in public libraries in the Czech Republic, but was kindly checked by dr. Jiří Sekerák from Department of the History of Biological Sciences of the Moravian Museum in the department's archives, who confirmed that no mention of Morgan Dee Voon could be found on pages 54–55 of the book's original English edition. Also, no independent non-Wikipedia-derived content on Morgan Dee Voon could be found by Google. Eventually, the article itself states that "[v]ery little primary source material is available on Dee Voon" (followed by an unsourced attempt to explain the cause), which itself would put the subject on the edge of deletion for low encyclopedical significance even if it the topic was real (which I dare say it is not) and if the sources that try to provide credibility were not phony.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. Blahma (talk) 15:01, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
