[edit] Justification for notability

I am concerned that we not regard Mr. Besen's page as only a biography. Besen's photgraph and story on Mr. John Paulk caused the resignation of a national figure (Mr. Paulk). Therefore, I added this text: "Besen's photograph of Paulk (and subsequent release of the story) was instrumental in the ultimate removal of Paulk from being Chair at Exodus International, a major organization in the "Ex-gay movement". As noted by the Washington Post, a USA mainstream newspaper, "[John Paulk] had been the most famous success story of the Christian ex- gay movement, which seeks to persuade gay men and lesbians to accept Jesus and renounce homosexuality. He had appeared on "60 Minutes," "Oprah" and the cover of Newsweek." " Caryn LeMur (talk) 21:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
