[edit]

This page appears as though the subject or someone very close to the subject posted his entire CV. It is not encyclopedic and should probably be further tightened. Skywriter (talk) 05:16, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The history of this article from 27 November 2009‎ shows that quite a few editors have worked on it. MaynardClark (talk) 15:42, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted because Norman Daniels is one of THE most famous, prolific, and longest-working healthcare ethicists working in terms of public goods. The page should be re-developed on the basis of the role in contributing to various ethics and bioethics and public policy discussions over decades. -- MaynardClark (talk) 15:39, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's CRAZY to delete Norman Daniels, one of THE most famous, prolific, and longest-working healthcare ethicists working in terms of public goods. MaynardClark (talk) 15:39, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
MaynardClarkThe article isn't being deleted on the grounds that Daniels isn't notable, which I have no comment on. Its being deleted because its a blatant copyright violation, and that copy is of the subject's own biography, which also raises significant issues of neutrality. Write one from scratch using 3rd party independent WP:RS as a base, and I'm sure nobody will object. If he is actually on of the most famous (anything), such sourcing should be easy Gaijin42 (talk) 18:06, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fine. Then wikify it. There ought to be such an article. Again, if you look, there's a long history of persons working on it since 2009. I read in MOS that Wikipedia does not work with a deadline. I think I suggest that someone else add this to an agenda and write from the countless sources that are available, some sited. Again, there should not be short-term 'rush' deadlines on this. Everyone is very, very busy. It's NOT life and death, and surely the School and department don't mind that some of his bibliography is found in both places.

Infobox

[edit]
  • Article needs a different, more inclusive infobox to include wife (Anne) and son (Noah) of Norm Daniels
Wife, Anne Lacy Daniels, neuro-psychologist.
Son, Noah M. Daniels, MIT postdoctoral research associate.
  • Awards (numerous) can be listed.
  • Is there an infobox for philosophers? We can note the intellectual sources and tradition(s) on which Daniels reflects.

Mystery Novel(s)

[edit]

LibraryThing claims that the 1964 spy thriller Overkill was actually written by Norman A. Danberg under the pseudonym Norman Daniels.[1]

The LibraryThing author page for Norman Daniels CLAIMS that the paperback novel, Overkill: a Novel of Espionage (August 1964, Pyramid Books) was authored by Norman A. Danberg under the pseudonym Norman Daniels.[2]
Bowling Green State University has a collection of ‘men’s fiction’ by this author.[3][4]

That seems NOT to be the philosopher Norman Daniels. Maybe there should be a disambiguation.

I wrote to Dr. Daniels about this novel, attributed to him. He responded:

I never authored a novel. There is someone else who writes junk novels using the same name. My father used to tease me by handing me my "latest" work in the early 1970s.[5]

I think that ought to clear up the confusion. MaynardClark (talk) 19:07, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
