descent

[edit]

188.230.138.189 recently added statement that Zhiganshin's mother is German and his father is Tatar (diff). I've stated that it's unsourced. IP's evidence has included:

  • "It is a well-known fact."
  • Providing this link and stating "It's about his sister Nelli, but they are siblings, so it stands for both of them."
  • "it is mentioned in Nelli's article, can also be in Ruslan's too."
  • "Also, notice he is already in a category Russian people of German descent."

My replies:

  • "then I'm sure you won't have a problem finding a source"
  • There are multiple issues here:
    • The website is not WP:RS.
    • The relevant paragraph on website lists "Wikipedia" as it's source. See WP:CIRCULAR.
    • synthesis
  • It's uncited in Nelli Zhiganshina, thus not providing any proof for here.
  • Anyone can add a category. Having category added is not a proof nor a source.

So, my opinion, either a reliable source needs to be added for verifiability or it shouldn't be the article. Kirin13 (talk) 04:19, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
