Talk:Rick Cole

Retirement

Dumb question: Is he retired now? I assume he must be.

Side note: He deleted his Twitter account, @SaMoCole.

No, I have now added his current gig (located via his linked-in): Exec director for the Congress for the New Urbanism. --Nat Gertler (talk) 23:28, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia's rules on notability

User:Adflatuss recently made this edit and commented:

News of the arrest of Cole's daughter lacks notability, see WP:INVALIDBIO. Also see WP:1E.

The first one says, "That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A); relationships do not confer notability. However, person A may be included in the related article on B."

But this wasn't about creating a new article. This was about including information in this article.

The second one says, "When an individual is significant for their role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both."

Again, this was not about creating a new article. This was about including information in this article.

What do other editors think of those two wikipedia policies as they apply to that specific edit?

Now that he has resigned, it's definitely notable enough to be in this article. R5Y93mdf (talk) 23:03, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

The source being used makes no causal connection between the arrest and the resignation, so it's hard to see its relevance, much less why the end of this one job should be specified in the lede. In addition, covering arrests in a concern under WP:BLPCRIME. I have placed the resignation in the proper place, and removed the linkage to other events. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 23:09, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
