Peter Blomfield
I am guessing that you know this person personally, or you are this person? It shows. Please read WP:AUTO, WP:NPOV and perhaps most importantly WP:BIO. If you have any evidence that this person meets our notability guidelines (a source on the fact that he is a bishop for a start, google is showing me nothing) please provide it within the article, or at least on its talk page.

You are right I do know this person,

I am one of his sons. Peter Blomfield is a Bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). He was the Bishop of Bedford but moved to Canada a few years ago. This year 2007 is the 170th year of the church being orgainized in Bedford and as I still live in Bedford I have been asked to set up a page and record a little of the history of the Mormon Church in Bedford. I hope I am able to do this and also include other bishops of Bedford and also a little history of the church in Bedford. I do not think this would be a misuse of Wikipedia. Bedford was one of the first places the Church was organised in the UK and is significant to our church History.

No original research
Hello,

I spotted you mention on your user page about writing articles from your own knowledge. Thank you for contributing. Please make sure however that you cite appropriate sources to verify your articles, so that they are not original research - see WP:ATT for more information. The article you suggest above sounds interesting if you include sources verifying it. Happy writing! Jules1975 17:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, just to follow up that point- generally, notability is established by looking for verifiable, third party, published, non trivial sources on the subject. If at least two can be found, then the person is notable. If you can provide these sources about your father, then it is very, very unlikely that anyone will challenge the article. Please see WP:OR about the concept of 'original research' on Wikipedia, WP:RS for what counts as a reliable source and WP:V for a discussion of sources in general. Also, to learn more about Wikipedia's notability guidelines for people, please see WP:BIO. Thanks, feel free to contact me if I can be of any help. J Milburn 17:36, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
