The comment on that deletion

The comment is part of the editing history, and cannot now be deleted except in rare and extreme circumstance, which I don't think this rises to. The tone of the article was promotional in a way that often (although by no means always) is associated with autobiography. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:57, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Your concerns have been brought to my attention and the edit/log summary which concerns you has now been hidden from public view. Further discussion, if you are interested, is here and here. Risker (talk) 18:00, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Risker, the discussion that arose around this was even more interesting than the event itself. John Sherman (talk) 04:26, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
