Notability tags and blatant puffery

9H48F, you quite rightly added {{Notability}} and {{More citations needed}} to this version. I had cleaned up and referenced this article in June 2013 after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fons Hickmann (3rd nomination) closed as "Speedy keep". Looking at the history, I see that the June 2013 version has subsequently been completely overwritten with blatant PR and all the references removed, by SPA accounts and IPs who are pretty obviously closely associated with the subject. I have restored the referenced, neutrally worded version and removed the "notability" tag. He's a very notable designer as the restored references indicate. I have also removed the "more citations needed" tag, but if you think it still applies, feel free to restore it, or preferably mark individual statements with ^{[citation needed]}.

Looks a lot better, thank you Voceditenore! I added just one inline citation needed tag. 9H48F (talk) 20:00, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've now added a citation in the place you'd indicated. Voceditenore (talk) 09:45, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
