Hello, Docman52. Unfortunately, the older article was created by a serial copyright infringer on Wikipedia who was actually forbidden to edit Wikipedia at the time he created the article. However, its deletion does not bar anyone from creating a new one. :)

In order to create an article about any person, you'll need to be able to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles. The Wikipedia:Article wizard is very helpful for people writing articles. Given your relationship to Mr. Hirschler, please be very careful to stay within the conflict of interest guideline, particularly with remaining neutral and not adding information you know to be true but cannot verify. If you don't want to write the article yourself, you can request it at requested articles or at a relevant WikiProject.

If you encounter any difficulties or have any questions, I would recommend visiting the teahouse, which is meant to provide a welcoming environment for newcomers as they learn their way around. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:54, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
