Speedy deletion nomination of Robert A. Hefner, Jr. edit

 

A tag has been placed on Robert A. Hefner, Jr. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 18:43, 12 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

November 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm Muboshgu. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Steele dossier seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:45, 23 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

RESPONSE I find your assertion that my addition to the Steele Dossier was written from a neutral point of view.

As a demonstration of good faith and writing devoid of partisanship, I chose to leave the preceding paragraph in-tact rather than deleting it altogether - allowing readers to make the determination for themselves with proper documentation to support my writing. Conversely you seem perfectly fine for the author of the preceding paragraph to use the words "conspiracy theory" to describe alternate facts to findings of the Department of Justice.

I challenge your credibility and challenge you to explain, for the record, why the Department of Justice findings do not meet your *personal* criteria rather than hiding behind the threat of "neutrality". Ad hominem attacks are of the lowest form and order. I challenge you on the subject material. If the litmus test is that the Department of justice and their words are not sufficient to qualify I must question your motive.

As written: The above paragraph, and assertion of conspiracy theory, is directly contradicted by the Department of Justice's Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane Investigation report published in December 2019. Among the findings from the DOJ, "the FBI opened Crossfire Hurricane on July 31, 2016, just days after its receipt of information from a FFG reporting that, in May 2016, during a meeting with the FFG, then-Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos 'suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion from Russia that it could assist this process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Mrs. Clinton (and President Obama)... We did not find information in FBI or Department ECs, emails or other documents, or through witness testimony, indicating that any information other than the FFG information was relied upon to predicate the opening of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation."
