 * comment - doing things in and of themselves is not sufficient, for verifiability we need secondary sources, basically other third party people commenting about those activities and that they were notable. therefore, an accomplished person if they maintain their privacy might be notable but unverifiable here. (also i just fixed the formatting of your list for readability. hope that was ok) - Owlmonkey (talk) 19:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Cannot find sources verifying anything in the article nor establishing notability. Did find a source for his age and birthday, missing from the article, but that was it. - Owlmonkey (talk) 19:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
