Barry Munro article

edit

Thanks for your question. The key problem with the article is that it does not cite any independent sources such as newspaper profiles, interviews or books on his work that show that Mr. Munro is notable (this is a link to a guide), meaning covered enough in media to make a Wikipedia article on him a good idea. In addition, the article is highly promotional, as if it's intended to advertise Mr. Munro or CSRO.

For the article to be kept, facts in it would need to be backed up to independent sources proving his notability, and promotional material cut.

Since the article reads like you might be marketing the charity or Mr. Munro, you might want to look at this, an automated text on editing if you have a conflict of interest. All the best, any questions just let me know and I'll try to help. Blythwood (talk) 21:30, 6 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
