No longer auto

I have completely rewritten this page (and that version has in turn been heavily edited by others). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigjimedge (talk • contribs) 13:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but cutting and pasting, moving about, and rewording the information that was given doesn't, to my mind, clear it of being an autobiography. You simply used the information Fiske provided and moved it around a bit. Even with the culling of the promotional material the source of all of this is the topic himself which makes a lot of it quite suspect. --Blowdart | ^talk 13:38, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, the source of all of this is the references. Or perhaps you think the newspaper websites are lying.--Bigjimedge (talk) 13:51, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Further references

And information are available on the userpage. --Fiskeharrison (talk) 03:19, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, you should simply post any sourcing on this page so other can look to adding it. Putting an article in your userspace only helps so much. If it gets deleted, by the way, ask that it be userfied to a subpage instead. -- Banjeboi 21:12, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tatler cite

The one thing keeping me from renominating this article for AFD (where I'd still might !vote weak delete), is the ostensible profile in the Tatler: Compston, Harriet. "Hottie Ahoy!", Tatler. July 2008. This isn't on-line; can someone across the pond verify that it's significant independent coverage? THF (talk) 18:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Daily Telegraph

Proposing to change the paragraph in the 'writing' section that reads:

He has signed a deal with the UK publishers Profile Books^[1] to turn his blog 'The Last Arena - In Search Of The Spanish Bullfight', which covers his time in Spain examining the bullfight (including training as a bullfighter himself), into a book entitled Into The Arena - The World of the Spanish Bullfight.^[2]

To the following in the light of today's article in the Daily Telegraph[1]:

He has signed a deal with the UK publishers Profile Books^[3] to turn his blog 'The Last Arena - In Search Of The Spanish Bullfight', which covers his time in Spain examining the bullfight, including training in the ring with bullfighters such as Adolfo Suárez Illana, the eldest son of Spain's first post-Franco prime minister, into a book entitled Into The Arena - The World of the Spanish Bullfight.^[4]^[5]

Prod added

I have added a prod for the concerns raised. the article is self published. I also reviewed references 1 to 10 and were found to be either a blog comment (2, 3, 4, 6) no url (5), or requires superscription to view (7, 8, 9 and 10). In my opinion, not only does this article is self published, but also does not meet notability requirement. I rest the case for now.
