Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Erich Heller
Please don't let's stand on ceremony and the GFDL in a case where  Wikipedia:common sense|common sense ought rather to prevail. The article is clearly of immense value to the main author and of little value to Wikipedia, being written in an |unencyclopedic, reverential, circumlocution|circumlocutory mode. Did you people who want it kept actually read it? I ''don't'' mean to suggest anybody's commenting carelessly, I'm sure you checked out the facts in the text and the claims to notability, but did you read it as a piece of writing? Yes, it could probably be ruthlessly edited down to an encyclopedic stub, but why lacerate the user's feelings (and incur his |flamethrower) for so little gain?  It would surely be simpler to start over and write a new, Wikipedia-type, article about Erich Heller. I nominate Charles Matthews, who knows the subject. ;-) Note that I'm ''not'' proposing that the page be reuserfied, there's been enough of that. I'm sure the user has somewhere off wikipedia to put it.  It has generated enough |battleground, please let's get rid of it, and also of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Prof02/Erich_Heller/v.1.0 this newly created userspace fork, and any future versions which may be created using Wikipedia resources without being freely editable by Wikipedians
