Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP and CLEANUP. dbenbenn | talk 02:22, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The votes were 10 keep, 0 delete.

Instead of cleanup, I've sent it to WP:CP. dbenbenn | talk 02:31, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This guy has a lot of google hits, so he may well be notable enough, but this article has problems. It seems like a copyvio. Googling passages of text sometimes yields many results, but I can't tell if it's all from one place or what. It also reads like autobiography and CV, with a bit of advertizing thrown in with the external links. -R. fiend 06:57, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Clean up. Iasson 08:18, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Suggest anything you want. It will make no difference whatsoever. -R. fiend 16:12, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Not to this vote, anyway. MWOT. Andrewa 19:20, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup. Seems notable enough. Copyvios can be removed from the history if found. Mgm|(talk) 08:43, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: No. Copyvios are not deleted from history except manually by developers responding to specific requests. Andrewa 19:20, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Send for Cleanup. - Mailer Diablo 09:27, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep seems roughly notable enough, needs a bit of NPOVing though. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 15:36, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. GRider\talk  19:12, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. If this is accurate, he's significant. But currently it calls him one of the country's leading experts and doesn't even say which country (I can I think guess, but perhaps this is unfair, most countries have citizens who think theirs is the only country in the world). Serious work needed! Only contribution by an anon, and remembering that deleted articles don't appear on contribution lists, caution advised. Andrewa 19:20, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
