Please do not remove Article for deletion tags until disputes are resolved. Feel free to vote, but the tag explicitly said that it should not be removed until the dispute is resolved. The tag will be replaced now. Thank you. Vaniac 15:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

3RR
You are in apparent violation of the 3 Revert Rule. You may not make more than 3 reversions or restorations of content in a 24 hour period. (and will not help the cause of getting your article kept.) Further attempts at reinstating your advertising will be treated as vandalism.DGG 04:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC) And here's the official notice: Please do not undo other people's edits repeatedly, or you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the 3RR. DGG 04:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

As a personal note, I am trying to help the article stay in WP in the face of strong feeling otherwise. I do this on occasion for noteworthy individuals, certainly including businessmen, where the original articles need expansion or modification. I try to do it in the way that experience tells me will be the best way to preserve the notable content, and eliminate what WP considers un-notable advertising. There are a few more things needed for your article, and perhaps you could supply them: References to two or three important stories about your business interests, preferably those that are available online,  and ideally from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, or similar newspapers or magazines. It will also be appropriate to add 1 or 2 key external links to your person and corporate websites. Please be cautious about this, do not add too many, and pick the more detailed and the best of the recent articles.
 * I have inserted links to other Wikipedia pages after the accepted style here; they greatly strengthen the article. Remaining details that would help is the place and date of your birth (year is OK if you prefer), and the year of your college degree. it is your option whether we includes names of your wife and children, but do not include your children's birthdays.
 * And we need a specific reference for that excellent lead quote from the Houston Business Journal.

I very strongly advise you not to add anything more than these few details. Mention of additional companies, names of investors, and listing  of projects in the works will not be considered acceptable. Once they are up and running and well-known and a reference can be provided, that's the time. Please use your restrained business judgement--you know the customs in your sphere, but we know them here. As you must very well know, there are times in internet business to try audacious things; but understatement is what works here. Please feel free to ask me for further advice. You can do so here--I will be watching the page. DGG 05:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Jehochman (talk/contrib) 22:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
