Proposed deletion of Mike Bingham


The article Mike Bingham has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * '''The article had an odd history. It was originally written solely by, whose sole contribution on wikipedia was writing the original article  and uploading pictures of Mr Bingham to commons see  and .   It seems fairly clear there was a WP:COI in the drafting of the original by someone with a close personal relationship to the subject and sharing their views.

Having reviewed the article as originally written it was apparent that it would fall foul of policies such as WP:BLP by allowing unsubstantiated allegations, such as those reported on Mr Bingham's websites, against living persons to be written as fact.

Having looked for sources to improve the article, the ones I found were WP:SPS produced by the subject of the article. These were his two websites and a book he wrote and self-published. The only none WP:SPS source was:

IN THE FALKLAND ISLANDS SUPREME COURT Case No: SC/CIV/08/03 IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW AND IN THE MATTER OF ORDER 53 OF THE RULES OF THE SUPREME COURT BETWEEN THE QUEEN

I was unaware of WP:BLPPRIMARY and since the subject of the article is now complaining that the article is libellous and I was responsible for most of the rewrite I am suggesting it should be deleted. I have tagged everthing sourced to the court documents and there would be very little left without it.


 * ie the written summary of the Judicial Review he wants everyone to know he won and the fact he had won the case was in the article. This corroborates the material in the article concerning Mr Bingham's employment and was based on the written testimony he gave at the Judicial Review.  If I had been aware that it was generally discouraged by WP:BLPPRIMARY I would have simply PROD'd the article as the only information I could find was Mr Bingham's own WP:SPS.
