Thanks - I'll rewrite it! Ckenst

If you can, I'd suggest finding objective sources that support his importance. What's there now probably isn't sufficient. Cheers, JNW (talk) 21:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

What is considered sufficient for importance? Ckenst

Please read WP:RELIABLE. Sources that are affiliated with the subject or his business are not reliable. Perhaps there have been newspaper or magazine articles published about him? The mention re: the governor's appointment is okay, but it doesn't look like a very noteworthy mention. JNW (talk) 22:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
