NPOV dispute[edit]

There is a section tagged as NPOV dispute. It appears to correctly call out what is the subject's opinions and state as fact (with support) those that are. I see no author bias in here. Subject's bias/opinion is exactly what this page is about as it is biographical in nature. Any objection to removal of the NPOV tag? NathanDeck (talk) 12:34, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

September 26, 2012-- Most of the "Military" section lacks citation, and the "solved" and "turned around" parts seem biased. Or did he singlehandedly do these things? "Leading proponent of homeschooling" is also biased, as is "resembled a torture move." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.216.103 (talk) 03:44, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Follow on Arrests" Edits[edit]

I have changed entries referring to Austin PD Officers as "cops" to a more encyclopedic term "Police Officer", also added quotes around the activity of "cop watching". I support this article and the mission of these activists, however others may not believe it to be important enough to merit a Wikipedia article, and for this reason I think it would be a good idea to make the article sound as "encyclopedic" as possible and remove as many POV and grass-rootsy slang words as possible in order to avoid annoying editors that may not be as sympathetic.Jonny Quick (talk) 02:46, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating for Deletion[edit]

This article is a mostly self-authored self-glorification piece, completely POV, and of a person who is non-notable. 151.52.2.102 (talk) 12:59, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seconding the nomination for deletion. A self-authored puff piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.0.172.163 (talk) 04:29, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously both recommendations are the words of lying cops or those connected to lying cops by blood, marriage or blackmail. The article in question is excellent! It exposes the criminal behavior of the APD and the influence the criminals with badges have in forcing judges to rule in their favor when they behave like the criminals and lying scumbags that they are. May TRUTH prevail and the criminal cops get the censure and punishment they deserve for behaving like criminals.
This article is NOT a puff piece! While the description of A.B. might be considered such and could stand the mention of his GPA at the respective schools, the nomination for deletion is beyond absurd. This article is valuable and needed. Criminal cops are what is not needed.76.6.95.88 (talk) 20:21, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Not to be presumptuous, but why is this even an article?

Ruthfulbarbarity (talk) 20:01, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand why Antonio Buehler would find himself worthy of a lengthy article on Wikipedia. However, why anyone else would is beyond me.

Ruthfulbarbarity (talk) 20:02, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability on Wikipedia is established through coverage in reliable, independent sources (see WP:RS). The article was nominated for deletion back in July, and the result of the discussion was keep. You can see the discussion here. If you need further explanation, feel free to ask :) Happy holidays, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 20:16, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can't believe you referenced that "discussion" as some kind of evidence. None of the comments are from registered users and one of them says "I really like the guy, the page should stay." What a sham. Chris Moore (talk) 09:49, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I understand the concept of notability. I'm just not sure how the subject of this article meets it.

Ruthfulbarbarity (talk) 00:39, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, this article is almost completely self-written or written by those associated with him. Any time you have Facebook as a reference you should question your integrity. There may be claim for single-incident notability due to the local press coverage of the orginal arrest. It makes no sense to me why this page still exists, and why it's so protected by editors. Most of the information on here is uncited and should either be referenced or deleted. Chris Moore (talk) 09:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly sourced material[edit]

I removed some poorly sourced material. --Malerooster (talk) 01:48, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I removed some of the same material again. The part about some undercover cop, linked to youtube cite and some other questionable citation. Can that material be brought here for discussion?--Malerooster (talk) 01:42, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I added cleanup tags to the top of the article. Started adding in specific sections but realized it was a problem throughout the entire article so I moved them to the top. This entire article is poorly sourced. Chris Moore (talk) 10:09, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaning up[edit]

I deleted the following uncited claims (feel free to add them back once cited):

Buehler graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1999, and earned his Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from Stanford University in 2006.

As a member of Charlie Company of the 40th Engineer Battalion, Buehler led the turnaround of two underperforming 27-soldier platoons in Kosovo and Germany. Subsequently, as a member of the 1st Armored Division Engineer Brigade, Buehler turned around the administration and logistics of a 67-soldier company, and executed the movement of thousands of U.S. soldiers from Europe and the United States to Iraq. Then, in a position normally reserved for senior officers with much more experience, Antonio solved critical supply shortages for the U.S. Army in the early days of the Iraq war.

Antonio was commended for his actions and awarded a Bronze Star.

After graduating from Stanford in 2006, Buehler took a position with Houlihan Lokey as an Investment Banking Associate in New York City. In March 2008, Buehler launched Trophy Point Capital, a private equity fund focused on acquiring and actively operating middle-market businesses. Buehler received the backing of private equity investors, business leaders and academicians, including Paul Milgrom, Jim Southern and Jerry York.

While operating Trophy Point Capital, Buehler found himself focusing on the education sector. He served as the Treasurer and Board Member of A Caring Hand,[5] a child bereavement non-profit in New York City. Previously a supporter of charter schools and vouchers, Buehler came to the conclusion that traditional schooling oftentimes did more damage to the development and future potential of children than it did good. Buehler began to research homeschooling and unschooling as alternatives to traditional schooling, and soon found himself a leading proponent of homeschooling. In late 2010, Buehler decided to move to Austin where he could position himself in a geographically-centric location to influence the homeschooling movement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.179.39.8 (talk) 22:56, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The user "ArizonaComebacks" added some inadequate references, which I've removed. This user has undertaken politically motivated vandalism in the past on the page for Austin, TX, so this is to be expected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.179.39.8 (talk) 15:43, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The information removed is significant, valuable and commendable, if it's credible. Its removal looks more like censorship than responsible editing. To make the point in a different fashion, it doesn't take a genius to see that public education in America is worse than pathetic. Removing the information above helps maintain the status quo... that sucks so badly.76.6.95.88 (talk) 20:28, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

Tag added due to poor balance of sections 4, 5, and 6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.179.39.8 (talk) 15:50, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Military[edit]

Reference 3 provided no corroboration for the claims made in the "Military" section of the article. This information has been accordingly trimmed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.179.39.8 (talk) 17:33, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are numerous sources supporting this material. I actually came to this article looking for information about his military service, only to find it was scrubbed clean. This is extremely poor practice, and if you were an employee, I would recommend your firing. Viriditas (talk) 04:50, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It was probably a cop or a friend of crooked cops.76.6.95.88 (talk) 20:29, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Content[edit]

After graduating from West Point, Buehler was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. Buehler graduated from Engineer Officer Basic, Ranger School (Class 8-00),[1] and Airborne School. As a member of Charlie Company of the 40th Engineer Battalion, Buehler led the turnaround of two underperforming 27-soldier platoons in Kosovo and Germany. Subsequently, as a member of the 1st Armored Division Engineer Brigade, Buehler turned around the administration and logistics of a 67-soldier company, and executed the movement of thousands of U.S. soldiers from Europe and the United States to Iraq. Then, in a position normally reserved for senior officers with much more experience, Antonio solved critical supply shortages for the U.S. Army in the early days of the Iraq war. Buehler worked with numerous American military units, foreign militaries, civilian contractors from half a dozen nations, and Shia, Sunni and Kurdish Iraqis to fix roads and bridges, restore power generation and water supply, emplace force protection barriers,[2] and build and reinforce bases throughout central Iraq. Antonio was commended for his actions and awarded a Bronze Star. Buehler was honorably discharged from the military in 2004 so that he could attend the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Stefan Molyneux[edit]

What is his relationship to Stefan Molyneux? --197.229.139.98 (talk) 20:09, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe there is one. At least, of a professional nature, although I can't claim to be an expert in this area.
