I wrote this article about Barry Kerzin as a former colleague of mine who is working in a very beneficial field of interest to many people around the world working for the progress of humanity, this is evident from his activities. I have known Kerzin as a colleague from his work as personal physician to the Dalai Lama for whom I have acted as driver on his frequent visits to and around the UK, from 1982 to 1994.

Since my article reviewer Onel5969 wrote that to improve the article as a BLP it would be advisable to add to the story of the subject's professional life more details on his early and personal life, in order to complete or fill out the picture of the person. I therefore contacted the subject to obtain more details and added them. However, some of these details related and added are fairly minor, dating from the 1960s or earlier, and therefore they are not independently verifiable with external citations. Nevertheless, on balance, since they fit with the rest of the picture I have included them in good faith without attaching any independent citations, using phrases like "he recounts", "he recalls" and "he remembers". Despite this, somebody has since added "citation needed" tags to several items thus recounted. How to deal with that? Sean M Jones (talk) 13:54, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
