[edit] NPOV
Although little doubt is left from a google search that some of the claims of the article are in fact correct, this article is by no means neutral in its description of the subject. In fact I would go as far as to assume that this article was written by the person in question: it's the way it's written. -- Francs2000

I would suggest that it is not written by himself - i am but a friend of Mr Rafalowicz and i know all of those things to be true - he is quite the celebrity in Adelaide and as such, it would not be unusual for someone to write this.
I deleted some of the most egregious PoV stuff and would now support removal of the 'dispute' tagFRS 22:40, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Famous?! I live in Adelaide, and I've never heard of him - AND I'm part of the theatre community. misanthrope
The content extraneous to his film career seems to me unotable and inserted by the subject of the article himself. It also carries the problem of verifiability and uniqueness - there are thousands of people who hold honorary positions within youth organisations none of them meriting a wikipedia entry. chasemeladies
[edit] Image
To the person who keeps removing the image - the image is from the film Shine, which is the most notable event in his life, and mentions his role in the caption, which isn't in the article. Catchpole 11:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
I vote for the deletion of this page, and if not that then the deletion of the image. It is clearly gratuitous. I was scanning through wiki tonight and have not seen pictures for dozens of actually notable figures. There seems no reason why there should be one here. If it is going to be treated seriously that he is a person of note, maybe we should add pictures of him now, and discuss his "fame in Adelaide" (also entirely fictional). This page is blatant ego stroking from a CV padder and a few friends, and ought to be scrubbed post haste. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.236.244.105 (talk • contribs) 16:45, 7 September, 2006.
- I don't know what you mean by the image being "gratuitous". This article has already been nominated for deletion and kept, so the subject is decidedly notable, and it happens to have an image. Wikipedia doesn't play favorites with which articles get to have images and which don't. That is only up to who is willing to upload images with acceptable licenses. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 17:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Quotes section
I removed the quote from the page. It is a true quote from the person, but said in a private conversation and has absolutely no relevance to the page, or his notability on Wikipedia. 150.203.236.178 05:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Shinealex.jpg
Image:Shinealex.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
