[edit] Notice: This article lacks WP:A to establish WP:BIO

In my opinion, this article either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.

Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable source attribution in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.

Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation. — Triwbe (talk) 08:06, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• He is notable. I've added some reliable refs. But I have also reduced the article drastically and re-written it. It was a copy/paste (and copy vio) from his official web site. Anyone who wants to expand the article can find all the material that I removed at the web site listed in the External link section. But please, find proper references for it, do not copy/paste, and no hype. Voceditenore (talk) 16:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
