Edward Hayter
I see you have run into a problem with this article. The thing is, we have an inclusion guideline for biographies, and the core of that is that the article must be based on multiple non-trivial coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. This is so that we can verify both the contents and most especially its neutrality. These last are core policies and are non-negotiable.

What you need to do is provide evidence that Hayter has been the subject of such coverage. For example, a feature article in Newsweek or some similar high-profile magazine, a biography published by a reputable publisher, information from the publisher of any books he's written and so on. If no such sources exist, then I am afraid we cannot have an article, for the reasons listed above.

Please understand that failing to meet our biography criteria is not in any way a reflection on the subject himself. Our term "notable" is a shorthand we use to describe someone who has received substantial coverage of these types. You can be a pillar of the community, magnanimous giver to charity, and an all-round good egg without meeting our criteria. Similarly, you can be a complete skunk and get in, because the press are all lining up to say what a complete skunk you are. See what I mean?

Please avoid the temptation to take the debate too personally. Given that you have no edits to any other subject, this can give the impression that you have a conflict of interest. Please remain calm and if you can cite the right sorts of sources, do so. Guy (Help!) 13:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
