The article Edward "Ed" McFarland has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Ahecht (TALK

Status and advice

[edit]
As reviewing administrator, I did not delete the article. It does meet our requires for notability because of the named professorship. But Wikipedia strongly discourages autobiographies (see [[W{AUTOBIO]], because of the difficulty people have presenting their own career, according to WP:NPOV.

Since I am especially interested here in academic biographies, I made the necessary changes to remove overemphasis and minor material. But the material does need to be cited. Your official CV will do for what it reports of the professional career, but the High School and College sports activities and the team physician positions should be sourced to appropriate source,-- newspapers are the usual sources for these.
