it has been edited 'over 200' times to inflate the guys ego. You can't use your own website as a citation.
Just to put this in context for the aspergers crowd here ArtReview lists Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev on the top of their 'most influential people in the art world' list and Jerry Saltz as the 55th but Michael Alan has made his wikipedia autobiography almost as long as both those people. It's funny though, he isn't going to include being told by david lynch's lawyers to stop claiming that they collaborated together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.101.109 (talk) 18:10, 25 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Accusing an editor of being the subject and violating our rules on conflict of interest and WP:NPOV is a serious thing - best done elsewhere. I've removed the AFD tag, for now, and ask that you please go to WT:AFD where you can discuss your proposed AFD. The rationale provided here was insufficient, but the editors at WT:AFD can help you proceed. I have also tagged the article for notability, though other tags may apply as well given your comments here. UltraExactZZSaid~ Did02:58, 30 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
