This article appears to be a spurious biography. A google search reveals no relevant hits for this name. The Janus Capital Groups website, Wilcox's supposed current employer, contains no reference, even though Wilcox is a supposed Senior Vice President. The article claims "between completing his biochemistry education at Pepperdine and his banner years at Janus, Wilcox rose to the helm at Hearst Communications..." Rising to the helm of a corporation implies he was the chairman or CEO, a position which has actually been held by other individuals.

The article also claims Wilcox is in a band called "Wilcox and Pilon -- Attorneys at Rock." Checking the original editor's contributions, I find he created a page called Matt Pilon around the same time he created Wilcox. The "biography" of Pilon has only one claim in common with Wilcox: they both are listed as alumni of Xavier High School (Appleton, Wisconsin). Pilon also appears to be a spurious biography.

I'm not sure what other evidence is required to justify deletion. Jeff Dahl 22:11, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
