go back to unverified claims by Ms Etok having done this and that. But the real danger that Knowledge (XXG) faces is this - the article as originally written unequivocally says that she was a friend of Jacksons and makes several other attempts to reinforce that view, despite there not being any strong references to support those claims. As we all know, Knowledge (XXG) is often the first stop for journalists in a hurry who don't tend to question what they are reading, and some of them would repeat the claims with no further questioning. Then what do we get? Yes, we get an apparently independent news article claiming that she was a friend, and that's the start of a circular reference of a self-reinforcing "factoid" that was never properly proven. And given the evidence of the copyrighted studio photo, it seems extremely unlikely that editor Respect77 is unconnected with the source, and if that is the case then it might be argued that this is an attempt to manipulate the encyclopaedia, which is obviously something that we don't want.
411:- I absolutely do recommend this article to be deleted. Let's look at the Michael Jackson connection first: there are absolutely no independent sources that make a connection between the subject and Michael Jackson, but there are several that carry uncorroborated claims of some sort of relationship, the primary source appears to be the subject herself. Some of these claims make no sense - she is quoted as being a medic, but she is a PhD, not a medical doctor. Secondly, this person is just a PhD holder that works in a museum, and there are lots of people like that. Although there are reliable citations for some articles, there are only some very poor secondary sources for editor work. And I don't think that being a news editor for a trade journal counts as being notable. Finally, I suspect that the person who wrote the article is either the subject or someone closely related, several edits were made by 86.13.229.160, which is an IP address in the same geographical area as the subject. 708:
most recently last week. This was my motivation for writing the article. I have also notice that Shritwood has removed genuine and credible references from the article - another editor has already commented on this. Also, many of the comments that Shritwood has made have been unfounded - the article is based on genuine quotes from credible new sources e.g HLN, ET, TMZ, The Sun, The Mirror, The Guardian, and not a blog. Shritwood may not believe the story but not one credible news source has called into question the facts of this story. It would appear to the untrained eye that Shritwood is closer to this story that meets the eye. I believe your opinion is biased.Respect77 09:16, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

much anyone who seem to have even the merest sliver of legitimacy could get their 15 minutes of fame by giving out interviews, which were then used as the basis for more interveiws, etc. In the new media ecology, once something is "out there", even those media outlets that should know better will pick up the reports and repeat them, and the scandal-mongering entertainment press will report just about anything which will get a headline and keep people watching or reading. We, however, are an encyclopedia, and we have a much higher standard - or should, and do most of the time. Since we mostly deal with these things after the fact, we have the time to evaluate the

2) I believe that you are both close to the subject of the article and the subject is not notable. 3) Yes, I checked all the photos, but you claim that you own the company that took it. You also claim that you downloaded it from the subject's web site. Which is it to be? I sent an email to the copyright owner to clarify. 4) You are threatening me now, you threatened me when you said "You have also made some comments in the article for deletion section about the subject in the article that could land you in legal hot water" on my talk page. 5) I am attempting to have the article removed because I believe that it is an abuse of process.

interviews, articles in the most major of publications, and sourced affirmations that she was notable prior to any association with MJ. Perhaps you are right, these sources are unreliable, but that would make her one of the most major hoaxsters in the last 100 years or so, and that by itself would warrant an article if true. There is simply no way around this. I would suggest that if you think she's a fraud that you put the info into the article, because there is no chance that this article will be deleted with all of the sourcing and citations it has from major news outlets. --
629:- The deeper I look into this, the more apparent it becomes to me that Etok is a terrible self-propagandist and publicity-seeker. Her claims about herself are all over the place: businesswoman, model, intellectual property specialist, actor, with every self-generated non-reliable source the claims are different. I believe that she got a degree in materials science, was an editor for journals in that field, co-wrote some journal articles, and is (or was) connected with a museum, but almost everything else seems to be conjecture, spun out of the air. 774:
am close to the subject of the article. Please make up your mind which one. I am not close to the party in the srticle or have ever met this individual. There are 12 pages of google that have Dr Etok's picture on are you saying that you checked every single one? With respect to making legal threats, I did not threten you. You are the one who has been theatening me. Other editors have noted your behaviour. You have spent the last 24hours focused on killing my article at the bequest of Michael Jackson fansRespect77 18:16, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
389:- Truth be told, I never heard of this person before this AfD as wierd as that may seem to some people. But now that I have looked into this, I can see why she may be upsetting a lot of Michael Jackson fans. The bottom line is that the MJ drama doesn't really come into this. She was very notable prior to ever meeting him. Things like being a Scientific Associate at the Natural History Museum in London make her very notable. And like Andy Warhol, MJ liked to surround himself with others who were notable in their own right. -- 759:- which you uploaded to Knowledge (XXG)? It clearly says that you are the copyright holder, I cannot find a copy of that photograph anywhere else online. Either you are not the copyright holder, or you are related to the subject. Oh, and please don't try to insinuate that I have any interest in Michael Jackson at all, and I would appreciate it if you desisted from making vague legal threats as you did on my talk page. 250:(and much much more) It is puzzling how an article about somebody can find it's way to AfD when there is coverage of this person on at least six major news networks across four continents, plus magazines like the London Mirror, Daily Star, LA Times, USA Today, The Sun, etc. etc. As an assumption of good faith, I am going to assume that the nominator intended to nominate a different article. -- 495:. Where are the citations for "coverage of this person on at least six major news networks across four continents, plus magazines like the London Mirror, Daily Star, LA Times, USA Today, The Sun, etc. etc."? It's ridiculous that she was offered $ 500,000 to be Michael Jackson's doctor when she isn't even a physician and can't "provide drugs to Jackson" anyway. The sources aren't reliable e.g. 1355:
She's writing a book that will be a bestseller. She has accolades from the London Museum of Natural History, etc. but none of that matters. The woman, (Yes probably a fraud!) is the media equivalent of an atom bomb, she clearly cannot be ignored. There is absolutely zero doubt that she has "recieved significant attention from independent news sources".
1425:, and unsubstantiated claims of "fraud", etc., etc. will not offset the deluge of media that surrounds this woman. It doesn't matter if half of them are simply repeating her words. It doesn't matter if she is lying, etc. What does matter is that all eyes are on her. It's a media circus, and that makes her notable, now, at this moment. -- 1147:
has had independent coverage from reliable sources, and in the end that is what will matter. The article has no chance of being deleted, no matter how many angry Michael Jackson fans join in. The final consensus will come down to how much coverage this person has recieved, right or wrong, and she has recieved quite a bit. Be well. --
524:. No significant, reliable sourcing evidencing notability. Subject is on the fringes of the Michael Jackson death aftermath-circus, and rather than genuine coverage, all we have is media repetition of a wholly unsubstantiated claim made by the subject herself, which really wouldn't indicate notability even if it could be verified. 1692:(@Thesteve) There's no need to wait for someone else with access to academic databases - I just checked Web of Science for "Etok S*" and it lists fifteen papers with citation counts of 11, 4, 1, 1 and the rest zero. Scopus lists six papers with citations of 14, 6, 1, 1, 0, 0. That is way, way below what is required for a pass of 992:- I do not appreciate having my posts removed from this discussion, nor do I wish to discuss this topic on my talk page. This discussion will remain here, or I will cease to participate in it, as there is no reason for me to make comments if they are simply going to be erased by others. Thank you and please restore my post. -- 1556:
best-selling author at this date. Secondly, who are these "Michael Jackson" fans? Which editors are you referring to? Thirdly, what is this deluge of media? Google news throws up two articles for the whole of 2012, only one of which might be citable. Are two articles in 2012 "the media equivalent of an atom bomb"?
1540:
The claims that Ms Etok makes of being a long-time friend of Jackson's may well be true, but there are no reliable citations to back it up. I could post on my blog that I am Elvis Presley, it does not mean that I could cite it in a Knowledge (XXG) article about myself. Every single reference seems to

of these reports to see if they have real roots, or are essentially self-generated. In the case of Susan Etok, everything seems to emanate from her - even the "legal filings" in the doctor's trial are based on her statements to the defence, and the judge did not find them credible enough to allow the
1354:
Yes, yes, I have heard the cries of "unreliable source", "fraud", etc. It would not suprise me one bit if she is a fraud, most of these kinds of people are. But this particular fraud has been in literally thousands of news articles, TV, radio, NEWS magazines, etc etc. (Major names, not just tabloids)
832:
I guess we don't seem to be getting many replies from the original author, but here's another question.. you say "I am not a Michael Jackson fan/non-fan", but if I type your editor name (Respect77) into Google.. well, what do you see? That's quite a coincidence. Is there some meaning the the username
798:
Respect77, perhaps you should take a leaf out of your username before you make wild accusations. Let me answer your questions point by point. 1) I don't care about Michael Jackson one way or another, I noticed the article because a link was added to the "Notable People" list in the town where I live.
1502:
Well, you certainly make a well-thought-out and eloquitely spoken argument. Obviously I have to disagree with you this time around. Ultimately an admin will come along and either keep or delete this, and on we will all go to another adventure, correct my friend? Feel free to drop by my talk page and
1449:
If I may also argue the article's content, the problem with it is that all the coverage -- even that which comes from normally reliable sources -- is ultimately based on Susan Etok's own claims. In the wake of Jackson's death, and the trial of the doctor, there was the usual media frenzy, and pretty

Let's not have an argument about it. None of this is worth that. I asked you to restore my comments. You have chosen not to do so. I am sure that you have your reasons. I accept them. It doesn't mean we have to dislike one another or anything like that. You seem like a decent sort of person to me, a

Shritwood, you have tried to bully me all because I wrote an article about someone that you don't like and who said things about MIchael Jackson that you don't like. First all you tried to get the article deleted on the basis that the article is not about someone notable, now you are claiming that I
1146:
Oh no not at all. But thank you for asking. All of the arguments in favor of deleteing the article have to do with her being a fraud, which may well be true. (I really wouldn't know, I actually know nothing about the subject) However, notability has nothing to do with any of that. Fraud or not, she

There are no specific numbers ever given. However, I suspect you're exaggerating when you say "many hundreds". Also, citation rates differ for different disciplines. In addition, Google isn't exactly comprehensive in all disciplines. I will wait for someone who has alternate access to academic
1485:
As for her being a world-class hoaxer, I'm afraid she's really small potatoes. She got a bunch of people who will print anything to print her claims, but it really doesn't look as if anyone involved in serious journalism was taken in by her. I'm afraid that even as a liar, she is hardly notable at

Shritwood - I have read your updates with interest. I can't help but feel very attacked by your comments - I am not a Michael Jackson fan/non-fan. I am the author of this article. I have no connection whatsoever with Dr Etok, I have never met here. Dr Etok has been in the local newspapers alot and

Let's say for the moment that you are right, and there is a "snowball's chance in hell of this article being deleted (I'm not an admin, but I don't think that's the case, but let's take it as given for now) - that doesn't equate to a "snow keep" close, it equates to a "no consensus", an entirely

Sue, I've read your comments quite closely but there are some things I just don't understand. One is that you say that "She's writing a book that will be a bestseller", but I wonder how you know that for certain? Yes, a best-selling author would likely pass notability criteria, but she is not a

The article is presenting conjecture as fact. The only notable thing about this person is that they claim to know Michael Jackson. But the evidence provided doesn't support that. The news reports are based on gossip and apparent self-promotion, even the news outlets use qualifying words such as
1859:
Yes, I've seen that just now; I wish you'd made that explicit earlier. So other than naming Susan Etok as a (the) director, the link doesn't have any information, although "IP & Media Ltd." would seem to imply an intellectual property & media consultancy. Since she has no training in

Another question for Respect77 - you say that "Dr Etok has been in the local newspapers alot and most recently last week". I checked the websites of Bedfordshire on Sunday, the Luton News, Herald & Post, the Luton and Dunstable Express, Bedford Times & Citizen, and The Comet (the local
1261:
So, what we sometimes do in these cases is to simply merge the non-biographical information about the involvement in the event into the even't article itself. As with other BLP1E's, at this point it's my opinion that this merits no more than a sourced paragraph in the Death of Michael Jackson
1298:
Is there any content worth merging? The Jackson trial judge "excluded a number of defense witnesses, including Etok, from testifying at the trial on the grounds that the subject matter of their testimony was sufficiently convoluted, distracting and detracting as to substantially outweigh any
429:
I understand how you feel. This person could be a complete fraud. I understand that. But being a fraud does not exclude her from an encyclopedia article. To perform a fraud on this scale is notable in and of itself. I never heard of this woman before today, but I see you-tube copies of her
1734:
That would be getting a little off-topic. The long-standing convention is that h-index of 10 to 15 is the lower minimum (i.e. at least 100 to 200 citations) and this person is nowhere near these figures (and these are the GS numbers, not the more conservative WoS numbers). Thanks,
52:. Tricky one, this. Consensus seems to be that, whilst coverage exists, it is insufficiently reliable to warrant an article. Should the subject indeed write a bestselling book in the future, pass the professor test or become notable for other reasons, the article can be recreated. 1421:. It is a foregone conclusion, even if a few canvassed editors and Michael Jackson fans cannot see it. If someone spends their time in a swarm of Paparazzi, they are probably notable. This article should have never been brought up for AfD, and all of the "She's not notable!", and 1039:

We also generally do not keep articles on the basis that there might be notability in the future. If that happens, the article can be re-created at that time, but we usualy don't keep it around on the off-chance that it might pass our guidelines in the future.

She has set up some kind of media consultancy business. Such people are likely to promote themselves, calling the motivation behind the creation of the article into question. I would expect this activity to be mentioned in the article.

One way or the other, the view of the subject that has emerged for me does not support her notability, and we should not reward her fantasies with an article.
