Francis Bourgeois (trainspotter)

Hey, thanks for making an effort to tell me what you felt was wrong with the article

I'm not exactly a fan of him, nor did I intend to make a fan POV; in fact, when I write articles, I try my best to be neutral and word it as reliable sources might say it. I figured that the lasting media coverage over the past several months (e.g. the article about him in The Sunday Times, the few paragraphs about him in Rolling Stone, a full article about him in The Face) was enough to write an article on and to prove notability. I'd love to hear more about why you think otherwise, so I can improve in the future. wizzito | say hello! 14:34, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I never did get back to you on your "Request for Insight". I did have a quick look and couldn't help but wonder why anyone would bother to write it - in Britain "trainspotting" is regarded as the epitome of needy nerd-ishness. BUT I didn't get back to you as I'm a natural deletion-ist, who thinks we would be better off with half as many articles, twice as frequently brought up to date/fixed/fleshed out, so I was probably the worst person on earth to ask. I rarely go to AfD and often get things wrong when I do. Pincrete (talk) 16:48, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
