[edit] Still no indication of notability

Despite the fact that half a dozen people weighted to say "keep" in the deletion discussion, not a single one of them actually edited the article in any way-- it still fails to state any reason why the subject is notable, and thus the article still meets the written criteria for speedy delete (A7: "article does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.") I am frankly puzzled as to why people are thrilled to weigh in on the deletion discussion, but don't have any interest in making even a cursory edit on the article itself, not even to add the links that they went to the trouble of finding to post to the deletion discussion. So I edited the article to incorporate the links posted by Eastmain and Mind meal in the deletion discussion-- now there's at least a hint of some explanation of notability. While I was at it, I also deleted the statement of which languages this guy speaks. Speaking three languages does not make you notable. Geoffrey.landis (talk) 14:48, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
