The result of the proposal was No consensus for move: 4v2 is not an overwhelming majority, and no particularly strong arguments nor supporting evidence have been provided for this article's claim to primacy. Parsecboy ( talk) 01:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Or rather, requested undo of previous undiscussed move. I don't see that moving this article to "Tom Stevenson (author)", in order to make "Tom Stevenson" a redirect to "Thomas Stevenson (disambiguation)" is warranted or necessary. Here is an article with a precise name, and a clear primary topic with unique namespace, and it is made a redirect as an abbreviation of another name? It makes no sense to me, and this is a case where a hatnotes would suffice. MURGH disc. 12:12, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
You know what is odd....the original no-consensus move that took place a few days ago would have obviously failed. Yet for some reason you now need a "super majority" to correct it? Where is that in Wikipedia policy. I actually think WP:BRD should be applicable. The original bold page move should be reverted as there is a clear lack of consensus for that.

The whole entry sounds more like an eulogy to Tom Stevenson than a matter-of-fact style encyclopedia entry. Having read books by him myself I do not doubt his expertise. But statements like "In this book, Stevenson has shown that he has the gift of taking vast quantities of knowledge and experience and translating them into lucid, sparkling prose, easily graspable by the novice, yet still interesting and instructive to the connoisseur." are in my opinion not fit for encyclopedias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.87.19.25 ( talk) 12:59, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
[he has published 23 books], the most important of which have been published internationally by more than 50 publishers and translated into over 25 languages
Although Stevenson's first writings on wine were published in Decanter in the late 1970s, a magazine for which he still writes, he was a more prolific contributor to WINE Magazine for consumers and Wine & Spirit International for the trade (both since merged into Wine & Spirit) during the 1980s and 1990s. At the time he was known for his monthly "Fizz File" column in WINE Magazine, and for being the author of the award winning annual Champagne supplements for both of these magazines.
Wine Report was the recipient of "Best in World" prizes three times at the Gourmand International Awards, and in 2006 it became the only wine book to be inducted into Gourmand's Hall of Fame (a feat unmatched by other wine books until 2007 when joined by The World Atlas of Wine and Bordeaux et ses Vins).
Stevenson has been chairman of Champagne and Alsace panels at the "Decanter World Wine Awards" since its inception, and has judged at other major competitions in France, Germany, Greece, Australia and the U.S.

It appears sources are reporting that Tom has won "Wine Writer of the Year" three times, when the RS I can track down only says he was nominated three times. Information was added by someone with an apparent COI, and sources produced since report the won three times claim. Rollinginhisgrave ( talk) 00:20, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
