[edit] Gary A. Olson

Written entirely by one editor who worked on no other pages. Probably vanity, questionable notability. Djcartwright 05:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - easily passes WP:PROF. Otto4711 07:16, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Otto4711 and re: "written by one editor who worked on no other pages", while I realize that such a thing CAN imply a sockpuppet or a vanity piece, it's not an a priori given without looking at the specific edits made. Assume good faith and Please do not bite the newcomers seem to apply here lacking any other information. -Markeer 13:07, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Apologies, if I am botching any WP conventions; this is my first WP entry. I was researching Stanley Fish and wanted to connect that entry with a closely related figure. So, this is not a vanity piece in that the subject did not post it. I hope/think I followed the WP guidelines per neutrality, verifiability, etc. If not, I would be happy to make changes.

• Keep It appears that the individual is rather notable though the article needs to be heavily wikified and cited in a more proper manner. --The Way 07:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if Wikified, new editors tend to forget that they are not writing an essay Alf photoman 14:05, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete on basis that it is clearly a WP:COPYVIO Fabhcún 20:27, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Question How is this clearly a copywrite violation? --The Way 21:11, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

• keep and clean up, if there is a copywrite violation as Fabhcun says there is, then that should be taken care of ASAP. Davidpdx 12:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
