Is the bit about Mill Valley being among the top 10 places to live at all relevant to this article? Can it simply go away?

This is not impartial and has self-serving POVs all over the place:

In January of 1996, a fatuous, drunken journalist who had happened to work with Bing at Esquire decided to share what had been a closely held secret since 1984 with a mean-spirited reporter from the New York Times. And so it was that on a Monday morning, as a blizzard hit New York, the Times published a breathless article revealing that Bing was actually Schwartz, who worked for a big media company.

Did Bing write this article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thomas AM (talk • contribs) 19:45:27, August 19, 2007 (UTC).

Yes, he did. He wrote it as Lazenby (talk · contribs) on 16 November 2006. Lazenby is a character that Stanley Bing frequently mentions in his columns.Jmkleeberg (talk) 21:44, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Of course he wrote it

And I certainly don't think it disqualifies the article, or Wikipedia.

Stanley Bing is a character, not a real person. So it is only very proper, clever and fun that his bio is writen by his creator. I see it as one more virtue of the whole system of open contributions, and a source of pride for Wikipedia.

I emphaticaly motion to keep it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmellof (talk • contribs) 12:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
