I clicked the edit tab and did not find the previous article that were rejected and could not be sure which article you are referring to, the first or the second.

This is the second time I'm entering this revision. I am working directly with Brian "Glaze" Gibbs in writing his autobiography. The information is not dodgy and is accurate. He is notable and if you were to type his name as Brian "Glaze" Gibbs in Google the results are numerous. Following is the revision.

Brian "Glaze" Gibbs, born December 1, 1963, a Brooklyn Drug Dealer was found Guilty in Racketeering, attemepted murder and murder on June 13, 1990. [1] For the short period of time, from the age of thirteen to twenty six, Glaze became infamous. At the age of 28 facing life imprisonment without parole, Brain like many before him, turned federal informant. Then appearing in front of Federal Court Judge, Edward R. Korman Brian “Glaze” Gibbs listened as the judge banged his gavel several times, and just like that, he only received a ten year sentence, which he only served eight and half years. By the age of 22 years old he was head of the A-Team. A drug gang in East New York, Brooklyn area working with his mentor Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols, once a most influential individuals in the introduction and distribution heroin and crack cocaine Brooklyn and Queens, New York. More interesting how did he escape death, and his life spared among the hundreds killed in all the drug wars? Why after confessing to drug trafficking and numerous murders, was he not given a life sentence like others with less attempted murders, lesser crimes and single murders? And why did he get a new identity and allowed to blend back into society and maybe living next door to you. One response from Brian "Glaze" Gibbs was, “if you believe in God and wonder why people like me keep getting another chance? Well, I wonder myself, but I'm not one to second guess God." Associates Brian was heavily depended upon by Fat Cat to run his enterprise, that he once said, Brian was so blood thirsty he had to restrain him. [2] Along with crime partners Lorenzo (Fat Cat) Nichols and Pappy Mason. Brain "Glaze" Gibbs became the one NYPD accused of having committed one murder a week from June of 1987 until November 10, 1988. He was NYPD's #1 suspect in the murder of rookie NYPD officer Eddie Bryne,  that enraged the five boroughs. Pappy Mason along with four others were found guilty[ 3].

Witness Protection Program Glaze Gibbs was the key individual singled out at the senate subcommittee in front of Joseph Biden and other Senators during the June 18, 1996 hearing on the effectiveness of the Witness Protection Program. During the hearing it was stated how the US Government had given me a deal after being responsible for fifty murders and was allowed to keep thirty five million dollars from by trade as a drug lord.[4] Gang Rivalry When Fat Cat's organization was under siege, not just from the feds but from rival dealers. A crew of low-level hustlers form Brooklyn seethed with resentment at the success of Fat Cat's lieutenant Brian "'Glaze" Gibbs looked for a way to take him down. They were very jealous and wanted to take him down. Convinced he was visiting Fat Cat's family, they fire bombed Fat Cat's Mothers three story home, but Glaze had already left. [5]

Speedy deletion nomination of Brian "Glaze" Gibbs
Hello Joe verola,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Brian "Glaze" Gibbs for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. SmileBlueJay97 talk 16:38, 15 August 2014 (UTC)


 * With respect to your question on the talk page, the answer is no, not at all. People own copyright to text that they write; until it expires (typically 70 years after they die).  Unless they license it to be compatible with Wikipedia's licensing (WP:GFDL and WP:CC-BY-SA), it's unusable.  Best practice is just to write everything yourself, and license it this way.  (Close paraphrasing is not sufficient to avoid it either - it really needs to be your own words.) Wily D  08:03, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

I have declined your sandbox AfC submission because it replicates your draft at Draft:Brian "Glaze" Gibbs. You should fix your existing draft rather than start another entry. Furthermore, your draft is a copyright violation of your sources, including the article in The New York Times. Wikipedia discourages working with the subject of an article because it evinces a conflict of interest and Wikipedia does not allow autobiographies.
