Your new article about Michael Edelman reads more like a resume than an encyclopedia article. I have cleaned it up to try to address that, but the article still does not make a credible assertion that Edelman meets the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. Basically, there are no sources to indicate that he is not a run of the mill artisan, that his work stands out to the point of significant recognition. If you can provide independent, reliable sources that prove otherwise, please do so. Otherwise the article will likely face deletion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:39, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no indication at http://www.spruceforest.org/edelman.htm that Edelman ever sold anything to the "world famous Kamm teapot collection" (or that there even IS a "world famous" Kamm teapot collection). Or am I missing something on that page? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Michael Edelman is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Edelman until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:28, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
