Since you seem to know something about this area (Stein's method etc.) maybe you can comment in the AfD? The relevant guideline is WP:PROF. Pcap ping 07:08, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for being too testy about that article. There is a kerfluffle recently with unsourced BLPs that must have gotten to me. The article really was in pretty bad state when you tagged it.

In the future, if you have any questions about wikipedia, feel free to contact me. Also, if you want to find other mathematically-inclined editors, you can use Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics. Usually, reporting a problematical math article there is a much faster way to get it fixed than to just put a tag on the article itself. — Carl (CBM · talk) 22:55, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
