References

There's a certain promotional tone to the article but I don't think it is insurmountable. Likewise I don't think it was fair to remove the reference list. Some of them may not meet WP:RS but others like Washington Exec probably do.

For the sake of giving this article a fair shake, here is the removed reverence list for individual evaluation and return to the article as appropriate:

I agree, that it wasn't right to remove all the sources. It definitely wasn't right for Specto73 to remove every source from the article, then BLPPROD it as not having sources and all tag it as unreferenced. I did add some of them back and more should go back. -- GB fan 17:31, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@GB fan Excuse me? I did not remove anything from the article, nor did I nominate it for BLPPROD. As you would know if you had actually read the edit history, all I did was nominate it for speedy deletion and add accurate tags. Regards, Specto73 (talk) 17:57, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Specto73 I am sorry, I made a mistake, I misread the history. It was actually Pppery that removed all the sources and tagged it for BLPPROD. Again, I am sorry for making that mistake. -- GB fan 18:00, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I failed to recognize those as sources in the first place. Pppery (talk) 18:05, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pppery, I would suggest you go back and read WP:BLPPROD. The policy says that it can only be added if there are no sources of any kind in any form that verifies any information in the article when the BLPPROD is added. If the only link that had been in that list was the link to his facebook page, it would have not been eligible for BLPPROD. -- GB fan 18:12, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of Interest

Hi Editors, I thought my last update shored up a few of the facts and gave a bit more evidence to Echmendia's notability. Please highlight the areas you consider insubstantial, advertorial or not notable and I'll fix them. Thanks! Manc1234 (talk) 00:58, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
