Is St Mungos the only remnant left of the UK Simon ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.45.254.146 (talk) 16:31, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- A very late response to this above comment. No, the Cyrenians were another very large charity to come out of Simon and are still going. Also, some of the charities that have the Simon name are very big now and all operate independently of each other. Examples of this include Simon Community Scotland and Simon Community Northern Ireland. It may be worth updating this article to reflect some of that. Mattbenjamin2021 07:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
Anton Wallich-Clifford - Wikipedia in the news? edit
An article in The Guardian today says: “And yet today few people know of Wallich-Clifford who was born 100 years ago this Thursday and died in 1978 aged 58. Bereft even of his own Wikipedia entry, his impact remains largely unrecognised.” Link: [1] TrottieTrue (talk) 19:19, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- I am a strong believer in the expand-then-split method. If someone expands this article, with a section on Wallich-Clifford, they would be fully justified in doing so. As that section grows stronger and begins to show significant independence from the topic of this article, it should then be split into its own article, on Anton Wallich-Clifford the person.
- As you will no doubt know, it is not Wikipedia’s place to “recognise” those people who might be worthy of an article, but to record those people who have gained significant coverage (recognition) by external sources. If I am reading that Guarduan article correctly, this external recognition is forthcoming, and (if I am reading you correctly) you are right to point it out here.
- If, on the other hand, the section on Wallich-Clifford here never gains significant coverage beyond the Guardian piece, then he as a person will be recognised in context of this organisation (where most readers will find the most value on both topics combined), and we won’t be left with a stub biography that may as well end up merged with this one. — HTGS (talk) 00:41, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
