User:Pollard&coppice/Louis Raymond.

I saw a move request for this, and, as reviewing administrator, I do not approve of moving this to main space. I am instead moving it to user space, as User:Pollard&coppice/Louis Raymond. It is unfortunately very highly promotional, and will either be drastically edited or possibly even deleted. Please remove adjectives of praise, and anything that can only be qualified by the word "many" unless there is a specific third party source.

The page title is inappropriate: pick a single adjective (I suggest "horticulturalist"), or use his real name.

References need to be given exactly, not saying he has been lauded in Opera News -- the actual article must be given. The "Highlights of Raymond's media coverage in, among other publications, USA Today, House & Garden, Metropolitan Home, Design New England, The Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, The Wall Street Journal, and Rhode Island Monthly." needs to be broken down into individual entries for this. It's the only way to see if the mentions are substantial enough for WP:BIO

"This video library is being proposed as a PBS television series." needs a reference. Proposed by whom? Himself?

Make sure all the external links actually work, and remove those that do not, or are not primarily about him.

Please fix all this, and only then move it. I'll check on it.  DGG ( talk ) 23:44, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
