Kyle Vincent
Can you explain why this addition, which consists of 1) an unsourced statement from Barry Manilow and 2) several paragraphs of text copied from elsewhere (any number of elsewheres, based on a Google search) should be added to the Kyle Vincent page, in violation of Wikipedia's Biography of Living People and copyright violation policies?

Kyle Vincent asked me to restore his page. He is a living person and wrote his own biography for Wikipedia. Someone had deleted most of the content of his page a month ago and he asked me to recreate it since it couldn't be undone. Kyle has contacted Wikipedia about this, but received no response. He and I don't understand what references need to be cited if he wrote his own page. Thank you for any insight you can give me. Simply11 (talk) 17:13, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Subjects don't get to write or control their biographies at Wikipedia. And they don't get to have copyright violating text or unsourced content.  Wikipedia articles my be verifiable and neutral, which means that they must be based on published sources, not on what the subject wants to have said about himself.
