Okay

So I edited the article to throw away the bath water (all the unnecessary and unsourced claims) and keep the baby. Now the baby is looking pretty unhealthy. Most of the remaining claims can only be suitably justified by a blog, and that too of the subject himself, who is pretty heavy on self-promotion. The only modestly reliable source that can be cited is about an award given to one of his artcile in a men's health magazine. Not enough notability, I'd say. Someone, please, do add information to establish the subject's notability (not information about his wife and children, available from amazon.com). May be the books he wrote make him notable, if the books are cited by any source other than a book vendor (i.e. amazon.com) and/or a promotional source. Cheers.

Very nice clean up. The original article read like an advertisement -- in fact, a month ago, I deleted links to his books on Amazon. I can't really find much in regards to notability except to say that I am familiar with him from various health related fitness forums that I frequent, as his one book is referenced often among posters, and I believe he has sold enough copies of his most recent book to qualify for WP:N for the author requirement. So I personally think that an article should remain, but I'm not certain if much more should be added outside of what's already in the article. --Ataricodfish 19:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
