I did a highbeam search which gave a single result, which was a mere name mention. Please do not imply that people are not doing their best for this article and for everyone involved.

Knowledge and forget the whole issue. Right?

not long ago and nominated it for deletion myself, but only after I tried to work things out with the author and did my best at trying to source it. Sure, not everyone has the time to do this, but IMO that's a safer way, as it doesn't drive people away from the
