[edit] Notability + COI

This article's primary author, BillPetrovic, is a staff writer at the organization (the Center for Fortean Zoology) of which the article's subject is a director. In addition, all sources cited are either from that same organization or from the subject's friends and/or co-workers. Because of this, and because of the subject's dubious notability, the article may be a candidate for deletion under Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest and Wikipedia:Notability.

As the subject is a partner in an important conservation initiative, as well as one of the directors of a major cryptozoological organisation, and the deputy editor of an important animal magazine, I feel that we must disagree, especially in the light of the number of external references. I have therefore removed the comments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.66.223 (talk) 18:54, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
