The subject is supposedly a "well known" mercenary who led the Contras, was later pardoned, and is now a friend of Arnold Schwarzenegger. None of this checks out and there are no references. Willmcw 18:20, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
Once we got the name right and found a few sources there appears to be enough verifiable information about this person to keep the article. I'm going to remove the VfD tag from the article, but leave this here as it is tied in with two other VfD nominations. Cheers, -Willmcw 20:01, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Since there have been no votes, and since the subject seems have a verifiable and notable history, I am withdrawing this VfD. I hope we can get all of this info into the article. Cheers, -Willmcw 19:58, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Well, it's been less than two hours, so hardly surprising there haven't been any votes ;) Radiant_* 10:40, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
