*Fails [[WP:SIGCOV]]. Revisiting. Articles in the list above are mere trivial mentions. non-blueliked publication [[Montreal Times]]: "Ed Winters (Earthling Ed), will be speaking about his activism." (at the not-major-event "Montreal Vegan Festival.) HuffPost quotes him as founder of the non-notable - and recently deleted - [[Surge activism]]. [[The Guardian]] does a little more, "Ed Winters, the co-director of Surge, which orchestrated anti-fur demonstrations that attracted more than 250 people in September, a rise from 120 the previous catwalk season and 25 in September 2016, said 'we expect those numbers to continually rise'". but getting 250 people to a demonstration DOES NOT notability confer. Daily Telegraph is similar: "'It seems strange that although the majority of British society is against the use of fur, it is still being given a platform at London fashion week,' said Ed Winters, co-director of Surge." Then there is the turkey thing: [https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/vegan-activists-clash-with-police-after-hundreds-of-turkeys-escape-trailer/ar-BBGojTy Vegan activists clash with police after hundreds of turkeys escape trailer] "Ed Winters, also known as Earthling Ed, a vegan activist who was at the scene, told of how he was allowed to keep one turkey on his Facebook page." To me, this looks like [[WP:PROMO]] for a non-notable activist. Fails [[WP:BASIC]]; [[WP:SIGCOV]].[[User:E.M.Gregory|E.M.Gregory]] ([[User talk:E.M.Gregory|talk]]) 12:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
*'''Note''': [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Steven02511]] on article creator.[[User:E.M.Gregory|E.M.Gregory]] ([[User talk:E.M.Gregory|talk]]) 13:08, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
**'''Note this too''': ''it was [[User:E.M.Gregory|E.M.Gregory]] who accused me in that same case of sockpuppeting and confabulating to manipulate the vote in this AfD, implying I was an interested party, but there is no foundation'' (can't speak for the others). It was an accusation done in haste. Look for yourself at the [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Steven02511|interaction tools]] and notice the lack of relation. If you had access to my IP address, you would see I am on the other side of the Atlantic, on a smaller island, and have nothing to do with the subject at hand. However, that is not necessary. You only need to study my [[Special:Contributions/Den...|contributions]] and compare them with the others. English is not even my first language, which you should have noticed by now before raising a finger against me. I only wanted to find out about the AfD, learn something new, and amicably share my thoughts but then met your unwarranted denunciation. It does not feel welcoming anymore. Arbitrarily blaming those whom you disagree with of sockpuppeting may work as a weapon to clear the field of your opposites and deviate attention away from their arguments, but is still low. {{ping|E.M.Gregory}}, I can't help but to wonder if you have an ax to grind here. If that is not the case, you have shown me an unfriendly way of debating in AfD. [[User:Den...|Den...]] ([[User talk:Den...|talk]]) 04:59, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
