Malter seems a worthy subject for an article, but if you would like the article to remain you must write it in the WP style, which includes:


 * looking like an encyclopedia article
 * not going into disproportionate personal details
 * listing  awards & important memberships and offices held so they can be distinctly seen
 * listing any books or articles   published
 * and, most important, giving some 3rd party sources. A website  etc. can be one, but it cannot be the only one. reviews are fine, or newspaper stories, or articles ABOUT him in professional magazines. Print or web is OK, but not from a list or a blog.

There is serious prejudice here against articles written by the subject or a member of his family, so it has to be a really solid article. See WP:AUTO and WP:COI Furthermore, if this is copied from a published obituary, it MUST be rewritten from scratch, or copyright permission obtained for use as GFDL, which means releasing ALL rights into the public domain.

If you do not do this immediately, the article will probably be deleted in a day or two--though not by me. I apologize for not having the time to help you personally.DGG 20:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
