Comment I still do not think it meets WP:BIO criteria. None of the four references added is third party source. This is a mini biography posted in site where he contributes, This and this are mini biographies by his publishing company. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 06:28, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
