Marcou, david j.

This is a biography (probably auto-bio or proxy) about David Joseph Marcou. There's a webpage about him as an alumnus here: http://journalism.missouri.edu/alumni/david-marcou-84.html. He's done some freelance photography and journalism, written some plays for local theatre and written some opinion pieces for local papers, but I can't find any significant coverage about him.

 * I have asked for editing help on this article at least 3 times and only 1 person, Ukexpat, responded. I made the changes he suggested and viewed the guides he listed.  Later I requested it be move to the main page if it was in good shape to do so.  I did send a copy to David Marcou to check for accuracy.  He thought it was taking too long in the process, so he up loaded the page himself.  I posted the original version using cut and paste.  I did not realize that was a mistake in some aspects.  I find Wikipedia to be some what hard to use in terms of doing some things in creating an article for the main page.  He may not be as notable as others, but there are probably others like him already in Wikipedia.  Sincerely, --Kayak paddler (talk) 18:46, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Insufficient notability to meet WP:NOTE, especially since this written by his friends. Problems with Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. If we has so notable, they why did he have to enlist friends to write an article about him? We don't have articles about writers or photographers from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, so I ask myself why is this freelance writer/photographer more notable than they are?
