Massive deletion of content by Hrafn
I found this page during a casual online search for the subject of the article. I was not one of the writers of this article and am not volunteering to supply documentation for all the content previously supplied by others. However, even the most casual search confirms that most of that information in it is widely available in many hard-copy and online sources. Since none of that material was contentious, at this point, Hrafn's massive deletion of almost all content, without addressing the original writers of the content and without posting any guidance in a "discussion" section attached to the article, amounted to vandalism and was not constructive. The article content, although lacking citations, should be restored, so that all interested readers and past and future contributors can then add citations to sources, but not necessarily all at one time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.14.89 (talk) 17:09, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


 * WP:V: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth: whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true." (emphasis original) This means that "the article content ... lacking citations" absolutely should NOT be restored! HrafnTalkStalk(P) 17:39, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I found quite a few sources online. He was also the author of a book on the baby boom generation and an editor for Time. It shouldn't be hard to put some more information into the article. Jaque Hammer (talk) 23:32, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
