I trimmed the article
There were many problems with this article. I edited it so that I can remove the "quality notice", but now it's more of a stub.

A major concern was that this seemed to be focused on a rather narrow definition of high-dimensional statistics, centering around a few students of students of Kolmogorov, and neglecting the rest of the world. A glance at Annals of Statistics (or Grenander's Abstract Inference or Pattern Theory, or Barra's book from the 1970s, or LeCam or Ibragimov or Johnstone or Birge or Assouad~or Koltchinskii lately) shows that plenty of other researchers around the world were applying Kolmogorov entropy/dimension or the local theory of Banach spaces to statistics. Since the 1970s, there have been international meetings on "probability and statistics on vector spaces" which have morphed into "high-dimensional" statistics lately. It would be good to expand this article, reflecting a bit more of the global perspective. Thanks, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 20:23, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
