Purpose
The purpose of this article was not to be negative about an individual. We are attempting to bring information into the public domain of an individual who lives by fraud. Moves into rented accomedation and does not pay the rent. We are a large company and have the reasources to evict and deal with him. However there are many smaller landlords who do not. It is common for people to "Google" prospective tenants and as such will access this article. We have not attempted to hide our identity and will hapily provide proof to any landlord as stated clearly in the article. This is an individual who activly lives to defraud people who invest in property to provide homes. We have lost considerable money which as stated we can deal with, if we were for examplea small business or an individual who had invested in property instead of a pension we might not be able to survive the level of fraud that has taken place. I am a member of a profetional body of accountants in my country and as such am happy to have my credentials examined.

Mark,

Thanks for your response. While your tenant sounds like a bad person, I'm not sure he's notable for encyclopedia purposes per WP:BIO. NawlinWiki 16:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Then What is the Purpose?
If you do not put people into the public domain then I assume that all transgretions against anyone should be removed? Hitler and Stalin to start with should be removed.

I have not stated how much money has been effectivly stolen by this individual. This is not the first time that he has done this. I did not want to turn the page into a list of ... Just to make people aware of his shall we say life style. Okay to the USA he is minor, but here in Scotland with a small population this is not so minor.

His way of life is hurting people and that knowledge should be known. I remember a short time ago where crimes were not reported at all. After all he is not killing anyone, only a terible landlord? As a company we have on many occaisions given homes to people who are were homless. We do not ask for recognition for it, but at the same time when we attempt to do somthing to stop this type of activity from happening please do not stop us.

What if you father and mother invested in property for thier retirment? What if they were forced into bankruptcy becase they take this man as a client? And what if this article could have stoped it?

Simple questions, do you have a simple answer?

Mark.

Purpose of an encyclopedia
If you will read WP:BIO, you will see that the purpose of this encyclopedia is to provide information on people who are already notable. That includes being able to verify the information about the subject through readily-available sources (news articles, etc.). In other words, Wikipedia does not exist to publicize people who are not yet well-known.

My father is a landlord and I assure you I understand the harm done by deadbeat tenants. If you want to publicize this guy on the web, though, the better place to do it is on your own website. (Maybe there's a "deadbeat tenant warnings" message board?) NawlinWiki 17:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
