""Delete. Not sure why an article that short needed to be posted; it's obvious that only minimal effort went into its creation. There's reams of data available about Garrett and his career; an hour or so with Google (at the very least) would have created the basis for a pretty good article, so this one doesn't have any justification for existence.

In other words, there are reams of information about this person. It has the potential to be a ""pretty good article"" with about an hour's work. Therefore, it doesn't have any justification for existence. Is this type of thought process the norm on Wikipedia these days?   "
