If the material should be restored, that might be the simplest course. I think the editorship of IWW is sufficient for notability , or deletion via AfD on the basis of borderline importance would be yet another possibility. 123: 877:
Hoary's suggestion about deletion, because it will have been shown to be impossible for a non-promotional article to be written. (There would be an alternative open to me as an admin, which is to have User:Dziadzia blocked as an entirely promotional account; I have given a formal warning to that effect.)

I've taken an honest stab at addressing some of the footnote issues. The remaining tags however, could probably use some updating or adjustment, but I'll leave that up to the admins who have been patiently watching over this article. Regards,  --

I'm not going to do this myself as it's clear that Fitzwilliams (of whom I had never heard until minutes ago) has at least one dedicated and energetic admirer, who surely has the energy to do this work. --

Yes, I'd have trouble arguing against deletion. When the sources are added in the proper way, they should not be used in any way that suggests that they say more than they do: I have already had to
