Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (Mr. Berkus has literally defined an industry through his software programs, he is actively involved in a number of professional organizations, has authored and published a number of books and well over 100 blog articles that are distributed to an email list of greater than 100,000 people ). -- Brady Blair (talk) 06:43, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This initial deletion was requested to not occur and user who did remove it violated wikipedia terms and conditions by "biting the newcomers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers

Furthermore, the initial paragraph upload did in fact establish minimum criteria for notoriety. If anything, the initial lack of sources should have cause a flagging of improvement, etc. but not deletion. Brady Blair (talk) 06:45, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
