Tags are once again being restored. Notability is nowhere near established, I see no evidence of press coverage or notable awards and Paul Haston (lacking further blp sources) fails every criterion of wp:author. Multiple external links in no way contribute to the article. Articles should not unnecessarily use external links, many of them seem to have no purpose other than to promote the author. In fact, the entire article feels that way. Keep in mind articles should be encyclopedic and not read like advertisements. Second warning for removing maintenance tags is being shipped, as it's apparent the editor made no effort to ensure the article was in compliance. Further removal of tags without the proper due diligence will be considered in bad faith. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:07, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
An IP editor removed the tags again in 2014. I've just restored them since the problems remain (except external links which I've cleaned up). Hairy Dude (talk) 16:35, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
