Talk:Dennis Ferguson

Article title

This article has appeared, and been deleted, many times over the years. It has previously been created in the locations Dennis Ferguson, then Dennis Ferguson (sex offender) and Dennis Ferguson (Australian sex offender). Multiple times. But in that time, there has been no other article to appear in the Dennis Ferguson location. It just remained blank for many years. I feel confident that the Ferguson saga is notable, and warrants an article. 1. There's his crimes. 2. There's the media frenzy. 3. There's the controversy in Queensland that he should have been in jail longer. 4. Ferguson caused changes to Centrelink practices. 5. NSW legislation was changed as a result of Ferguson's use of public housing. Notable he is. I think the article should stay in the location Dennis Ferguson, until some future time someone requests a disambiguation page at that location.--Lester 00:12, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Seems fair enough to me. - Bilby (talk) 00:39, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't see what makes this article notable. There are millions of sex offenders, most of them gain media attention, the feeling of the public is that most of them should have served longer jail sentences, and the legal system often is adapted because of them. If Ferguson deserves a page, then tens of thousands of other sex offenders deserve a page, and that would cast doubt on the noteworthiness. Just my two cents.Tom Barrister 03:21, 31 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tombarrister (talk • contribs)

Unlike "thousands of other sex offenders" Ferguson has been in the media regularly since 2003 [1]. His death was reported on the top page of SMH online. Ferguson satisfies the guideline "has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources". WWGB (talk) 04:19, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
