The result was speedy delete. The subjects didn't want this, the original authors didn't understand the verifiability requirements for biographies of living persons a year ago, Wikipedia doesn't do permanently read-only "authorized biographies" (whether by students or subjects), "if article X then article Y" is a fundamentally fallacious argument that does not reflect human knowledge, and things are not going to improve here with more discussion as several novices clearly don't understand the workings of an open encyclopaedia-writing project that volunteers run in their spare time. If a time comes in the future that these subjects' lives and works are properly and independently documented in depth outwith Wikipedia, then perhaps someone who has no conflict of interest can start biographies properly. This discussion has been courtesy blanked. Uncle G (talk) 08:40, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
