Thanks. For more information on how speedy deletion works, see Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion and Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Some of the criteria for speedy deletion can be rather vague, especially the "person... that does not assert... importance" one (A7). I felt that Wilbur Breslin did assert the subject's importance, so I removed the tag.

Also, welcome to Wikipedia! You might find some of the links at Wikipedia:Questions useful. If you have further questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page.

[edit] Thanks to JYaolkowski, and a note on what I'm putting together

Many thanks to J.Y. for a timely intervention in the deletion process. Readers may have noticed a growing set of interconnected articles - Urban Development Corporation additions, Newsday additions, Robert M. Johnson, some additions to the DDT, Earth Day and Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant, and perhaps a few more I've forgotten, all of which relate to the saga of "the developers vs the defenders" of the Long Island Island environment, several zeroing in a period of particular interest in 1989-1991. During that time, a rather extraordinary coalition of "business" (developers) and "labor" (mostly mob-dominated hardhat construction union locals) was formed under the guidance of the Howard J. Rubenstein Associates PR agency and the then-publisher of Newsday, Robert M. Johnson, with some possibly-reluctant participation by the Long Island Association and other business lobbies, as well as then-Governor Mario Cuomo. The significance of this, I feel, is that the story forms a remarkable case history of how self-appointed power elites try to make things happen against the will of a majority of citizens (the majority of the sector that's aware of what's going on, that is), and without their consent. The most alarming sub-plots, in which this elite went all-out to smash through the barriers imposed by legality and democracy, are scattered around in various articles. If anyone has any suggestions for how to consolidate all this, for the sake of coherence and clutter-avoidance, I'd be happy to consent, cooperate, or have a go at it myself. Please put suggestions here. Thanks - Chelydra
