This isn't a vanity page or a user page. How could it be confused as such?

It is an article about a Journalist, one who is very well-known in the Mac community.
His website, Think Secret, gets millions of hits every month.
He has been named in The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNET and more.
He used to write for Ziff Davis' eWeek.
The outcome of Apple's lawsuit against him could have a severe impact on the field of investigative journalism.

Let's add all of this information... then no one will accuse this article of being a vanity page. -- Sixhoursago 05:39, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

How can this be considered a vanity page? The guy's been talked about in credible magazines and has a major lawsuit going on. I really don't see how this could be considered for deletion. RasstheLenek 21:22, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. But all the praise about him may give that appearance to some. I've cleaned it up to avoid mentioning how humble he is and so forth. --C S (Talk) 21:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

This needs more sources cited than just the Think Secret page and the one newspaper in the last paragraph. I agree that it's an encyclopedic topic, but it's written like the subject wrote it himself. —Cleared as filed. 15:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Exactly.
