It seems you have indicated that the individual, Dr. Jerry Galloway, is not notable as the reason for deletion. This is an error. Dr. Galloway is well-known in the United States and beyond. His work has touched many people in many venues and this purely factual article should be made available to the general public. SherriSharp (talk) 07:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
