Notablility

I think that Gaughan certainly passes the notability rule of thumb that he is at least as notable as a moderately-well published professor. He has to date, written one book published by a university press as well as numerous position papers which are highly publicised within the Buffalo-Niagara region. His accomplishments have been noted by local civic leaders who made him the recipient of a major civic award. All of these reasons are clearly laid out in the article. I agree that the citations do need some work, but I am confused as to why the notability tag was added --Cjs56 20:30, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Legal Troubles

I cleaned this section to better conform to wikipedia's conventions and to removed heavily biased language. I removed the final two statements as they were unsourced and contained potentially libelous accusations against a living person. If they can be properly sourced, they can be reinserted. --Cjs56 (talk) 21:36, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
