755:: "I never indicated I was A Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur. Nor would I. Never mentioned those words. That is a serious infraction. I was made a Chevalier of the de l'Ordre Des Coteaux De Champagne in Reims, France in 1994." There may be similar explanations for the "Lord Millbourne" claim. None of this is mentioned in the article nor should it be without reliable secondary sources but I think we need to be careful about jumping to conclusions about a person being "fake" without all the information. His notability is based on CREATIVE, as a writer, per previous comments above, for which secondary sources exist. So let's not attack (calling him a "fake") his credibility based on guesses and incomplete information, see

with ownership of particular pieces of property, "In modern times any person may choose to use a name that is not the property of another." It is similarly vanity content--such titles are purchased either separately or along with the piece of property by people vain enough to want to use them. I have very doubts about of the objectivity of any bio here that includes such content. (and usually doubts about the notability also, because this usually implies there's nothing actually worth including)

like and if there's anything I or anyone should cut to make it better, please do. Honestly, I subscribe to ENTREE and thought Bill could have a page like some other ones I've read online. When I was adding information, I used the ENTREE site bio for help. I tried to only reference what was not associated with him though. I think that part was okay, but probably my submission needed work. I clicked on the other editor's

WP:GNG is about sourcing and significant coverage and there is no indication this criteria has been met. As for salting, I don't see sufficient cause at this time.
959:
For what it's worth, membership in "Chevalier of the de l'Ordre Des
Coteaux De Champagne" and similar drinking and dining societies is vanity content, & should never be included. "Lord of the Manor" is not a title of notability, but a archaic British designation that is in a weird way associated
907:
subject of the article might write, assuming that it is the subject (which ordinarily should be a stretch on the internet) we should look at this article on its own merits. I would suggest the article needs some editing, deal with the peacock terms and clear up statements. I'll try to do a little
982:
DGG's comment makes sense assuming AGF he knows what he is talking about. I would suggest he as an editor should remove any content he thinks is peacock or mis-characterized. Maybe he could show a source that explains these details so other can learn from it. That is why we are called editors.

I saw two comments on my personal page that my article contribution was indicated for deletion. I apologize if this has caused any problems! Some of the comments on here said that I was making an autobiography about
Tomicki, which was not my intention for sure. Sorry again if that's what it reads

He seemed to make a concerted effort to remove the page not just a momentary lapse of judgement. Personally I agree with his assessment that he has been "under assault", though I don't believe it's a conspiracy ("forces that have aligned against me") just the nature of

which would claim he has a distinction from the French Legion of Honour, which is what a
Chevalier is (he's not on any of the lists I've found), and I'm not aware of the claimed Portuguese title even existing. Also, you don't buy titles in the United Kingdom unless its a fake one.

Tomicki apparently wants the page deleted (see comment below). I believe people with marginal notability like this should have the right to remove their Knowledge (XXG) page if they want. It's probably not a valid reason to !vote delete, but I am withdrawing the

As a peerage geek, I highly doubt this claim of the title "Lord
Millbourne" and the two supposed knighthoods, which he claims. There's nothing on the net to back any of these claims up that isn't him in an interview. The only thing that explains more is
221:
Non-notable, and the inclusion of misc. items like winning the lottery makes this into the equivalent of a self-indulgent autobiography. The books are not even in worldcat. The
Chicago Tribune article is a pure press elease, and so are the others
610:. Absurd to think that publishing a travel newsletter qualifies as "CREATIVE". Most of the "references" are about the publication, and most of those aren't evenly exclusively about it, but as part of a group. There's not a solid source about him.
529:
over criticism I figured it was best to withdraw my Keep. Having a
Knowledge (XXG) article is not necessarily always a good thing for someone it can be a potential liability to constantly monitor, he may have come to that conclusion as well. --
