Michael Wilshire
He's notable, but please learn how to write an article according to our style. See WP:FIRST as a start.

In particular, avoid adjectives of praise. Just give the facts of his bio in a straightforward way, Remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a web page or publicity brochure. Notability is proved by references providing substantial coverage from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. He has presumably received awards, as well as the knighthood. Give references to them from such sources.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or even as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know.

If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.  DGG ( talk ) 22:00, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
