Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. I've restored for now, so you can work on the article. An article must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have references.

I've restored because you do have references of a sort. If you put your references in-line, it makes it clearer what facts each ref is supporting. I would also have expected that if this guy is genuinely notable, there should be something on the Internet, which makes it easy to check for most of us than specialist books and magazines.

You should add wikilinks too, eg Northampton, martial artist, rugby union, otherwise it looks as if the text has been copied from a possibly copyrighted source, which we do not allow. See this policy.

Parts were written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, but you included unreferenced spammy claims such as unique... instant success.... The claimed book sales also need a reference.

I'll give you a couple of days to sort out the problems, but I suggest you don't wait too long in case it's deleted by another admin. If you are not sure how to format, have a look at Jane Gray (stained glass artist); you don't need to use the cite templates, just put the reference details between the tags.

Hello Jimfbleak and thank you for your valid input.

I have made some changes to the page as from your comments. Hopefully now the article is looking better and now sits within the rules. I would very much appreciate you taking the time to cast your eye over it again for me and perhaps highlight what I need to change.

Yours Sincerely
