Michael Edelman
Your new article about Michael Edelman reads more like a resume than an encyclopedia article. I have cleaned it up to try to address that, but the article still does not make a credible assertion that Edelman meets the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. Basically, there are no sources to indicate that he is not a run of the mill artisan, that his work stands out to the point of significant recognition. If you can provide independent, reliable sources that prove otherwise, please do so. Otherwise the article will likely face deletion. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:39, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Unverified facts
There is no indication at http://www.spruceforest.org/edelman.htm that Edelman ever sold anything to the "world famous Kamm teapot collection" (or that there even IS a "world famous" Kamm teapot collection). Or am I missing something on that page? WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
