[QUOTE="HairySmurf, post: 2677274, member: 583820"] Yes, I can think why. I will not find a page about Dr. Unwin on Wikipedia because nobody has taken the time to create one. Here's a step by step guide: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-create-wikipedia-page-someone-step-by-step-guide-emily-palmer[/URL] Here's an article in The Guardian that establishes 'significant coverage', 'impact' and 'demonstrated level of notability' - the thresholds a person must pass in order to warrant their own Wikipedia page. If there's one article I would assume there are others: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/apr/09/british-doctor-pioneers-low-carb-diet-as-cure-for-obesity-and-type-2-diabetes[/URL] The rest is the process is something you, or anyone, anywhere, can figure out themselves, if they can be bothered. As to your point about the selective quote - is the 'generally frowned upon' bit not fact? Seems okay to me, whatever the source. In fact, it might be pretty clever of someone to link to a pro-low carb paper like that. 'Low carb is generally frowned upon, and you can check if this is fact or not by reading this paper here'. Who do you think wrote the Wikipedia page for this website Kenny? Who do you imagine took the time to do that? [/QUOTE]
