Um...is this guy for real? Revolutionary/philanthropist/mobster/singer/author? I don't believe it. Sorry, guys, it's just a little too over the top.

Yes - he is for real.... really.

[edit] BLP

A claim was made on the page that the subject disapproves of the article, however, it seems to largely reiterate points made on his own official pointlist biography, so I don't know where this stands. As it currently reads, the article is in need of improved sourcing and verification. Orderinchaos 09:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

This article has been stubbified in response to OTRS ticket#2007090910006771. Please consult with an OTRS user before undertaking any major expansions of/modifications to the article. - Mark 03:32, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Could more details on this be provided? Otherwise I will start re-adding content. Sfacets 13:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

So long as the content is fully sourced/cited in accordance with WP:BLP it should be fine to add back. The gist of that OTRS ticket was a complaint about defamatory lies added to the article. - Mark 02:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

So it is fine to add back/add sourced material now? Sfacets 03:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I think it should be fine, though I place emphasis on sourcing everything you add (even if it seems uncontroversial). :) - Mark 10:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
