[edit] Trevor McDonnell

Considered prodding, but brought here just in case anyone can think of a good reason to keep it. This looks to me like a prime piece of vanispam by a single purpose account (the creator's only other edit, Craig Adair, was a verbatim copy of this article, which I've provisionally replaced with a redirect). The name's so common it's hard to check, but I can't find any independent references. A search on his full name brings up no hits other than Wikipedia mirrors and two of his own websites.

Aside from bot edits & tagging, the two pages appear to have a history of edits by multiple single purpose accounts - User:DenisonFineArt, User:Saatchicontemporary, User:Sportsfan and User:RobertHughesCritic have all worked on them, none of whom have made any other contributions other than to insert references to him into other articles. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 22:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment which, since the author claims he isn't the subject, means it's a copyvio... - iridescenti (talk to me!) 13:16, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
