Unsourced BLP that is almost certainly a hoax—online searching for various combinations of name variants and occupations turns up absolutely nothing on this person. (Curiously, there is a Richard Windmann in the Dallas–Fort Worth area who came from New Orleans, whereas the supposed subject of this article was born in New Orleans and the IP who supplied most of the content resolves to the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Couldn't be the same guy, though, since he's a specialist in "computer/information/network security" and there's no evidence of his having been a jockey or a matador.) My prod removed by a second IP.

 * Agree. "American matador" is a dead giveaway. --Seduisant (talk) 16:43, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Agree This article's talk page says it is being worked on bu the "University of Madrid", and I origanlly gave them benefit of the doubt, but it seems overly suspicious now. Also, according to 1990 census results, there is not even 100 people with the surname Windmann. And considering that 1 in 535 people are named Richard, compounded with the similar locations, leads me to believe this is a total hoax. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk) 17:10, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete/Comment I did not do a search on this when I declined the speedy. No sources can I find. The thing reads worse each time I reread. In looking back, I should have deleted then, but PROD looked like the way to go.
