This article reads as if it were written by the subject himself, an employee or a publicist. In fact, it is very similar to his bio on his own website, even sharing some exact phrasing. At best it is a C.V., inappropriate for Wikipedia. At the very least, Selig's importance doesn't warrant the length and detail; it should be cut way back to the bare essentials. Being Margaux Hemingway's "creative director" for her 1990 Playboy magazine cover and pictorial hardly qualifies as encyclopedic material. Who says he's a "renowned spiritual consultant"? The fact that it cites a variety of sources doesn't mean it isn't a puff piece. This is not to disparage Selig's accomplishments but to challenge the article's objectivity, accuracy and size. I don't think it should be allowed to remain in its current form. I would edit it down myself but I'd rather discuss it first with other editors (if any are indeed reading it - I happened on it after reading a New York Times review of the new documentary about Mariel Hemingway and her family; newspaper articles very often lead me to Wikipedia for more information). It's one of many such articles that Wikipedia is trying to eliminate in the interests of increasing its reputation for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
