Undue weight[edit]

Hi Scope creep. You added the "too few opinions" and "undue weight" tags. What specific changes do you think needs to be made to the article? Waters.Justin (talk) 15:15, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Khan Disambiguation[edit]

I chuckled at the disambiguation pointing to Khan Noonien Singh, but has anyone in history ever confused Razib Khan with the genetically-engineered superman-dictator from Star Trek's Eugenics Wars? Seems like a stretch. 68.63.217.32 (talk) 17:02, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion proposal[edit]

'Significance' means "notability," I suppose? Non-notability is not established. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:26, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Khan is probably the most popular writer on genomics and human genetics in the country. Downvoting the deletion proposal. 67.167.254.120 (talk) 07:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC)Larry Siegel[reply]

Only 3 and a half years late, but thanks for your input ;) Tobus (talk) 07:52, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The guy is an egotistical self promoter with no real achievements. Definitely worth deleting 120.21.123.85 (talk) 15:57, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editorializing[edit]

I corrected this sentence; editorialized stuff, making too much from an opinion piece written by a dubious journalist; see Freelancer Takes Conspiracy Theories About Gossip Cop To New York Times. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:38, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant sources[edit]

A lot of the sources aren't even about the article subject, but are used only to back up tangential claims - David Gerard (talk) 00:30, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I checked all cites and I'm wrong - David Gerard (talk) 08:12, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This discusses Kahn briefly[edit]

@David Gerard@Tobus@Joshua Jonathan[1] Heidi Beirich should have an article, she's used a lot as a source here and I'd say her organisation Global Project on Hate and Extremism is also notable. Just wish I had the time. Doug Weller talk 13:21, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
