I'm the person who removed 90% of the information that was previously in his Wikipedia article from it. After noticing the above average number of views of the article, and the huge number of new posters posting silly stuff on the talk page, I decided to just google the article looking for places it was discussed. (and yes, I created an account specifically to reply to this post.)

There is absolutely no malice or conspiracy behind the fact that his article is going to get deleted. Wikipedia has very long-standing content inclusion policies - people must be notable to have articles, and things in their articles must be verifiable. Almost none of the stuff that was originally posted was verifiable in any way - if it had been, it would've remained. Anyone who led the kind of career Pieczenik claims to have led would have left a paper trail - for Pieczenik it is almost nonexistent.

there's also nothing unusual about the fact that his article has been nominated for deletion so soon after it was created - I would venture a guess that most articles that are ever deleted are deleted within two or three days of being created. It was one of a dozen articles I participated in deletion discussions of one sort or another on last night - most of the rest were things like bands that some dude just started in his garage, but the same policies apply to any of them.

If any member of this board can find any reliable source for Pieczenik's supposed accomplishments, please feel free to edit them back in - or if you provide it to me, I will be more than happy to do so for you. Wikipedia does have a specific definition of reliable source, essentially it means stuff like mainstream media coverage that people who are assistant secretaries of defense normally receive, or even stuff like the senate record of his confirmation of deputy assistant secretary of defense that would necessarily have to exist if he held that position. If anyone is able to provide anything like that, I can almost guarantee the article will not be deleted.

I have found several mentions Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik credentials in the New York Times.

Interviews with Government officials and private psychiatrists familiar with the medical examination of the former captives indicated that most of the freed Americans were experiencing predictable, temporary mental problems resulting from their stressful imprisonment.

Dr. Beahler confirmed reports by Dr. Steve R.

Although there is no single psychiatric label for the problems it can cause, there is the kind of person whom some call the ''poweraholic,'' who takes the thrill of power so seriously he or she becomes lost in its pursuit.

''For some, the thirst for power takes on the character of an addiction,'' said Steve R. Pieczenik, a psychiatrist who has also been a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. ''Many of my patients have been power brokers of one kind or another: lobbyists, politicians, lawyers. These people are incessantly building a power base, forming alliances, typically with no specific goal in mind; they just enjoy the hurly-burly of power for its own sake.''

Thanks, I'll take a look at the cites and edit them in to the article assuming nothing is wrong with them.

I’m with you on this. If he is credible, which is seems that he is, and he is willing to go forward with this information, then this will get very interesting. My questions just have to do with, as someone already mentioned, why didn’t this come out as strong in 2002 when he brought this up? Also how do we help his cause? He says he is willing to go forward and tell the name of the general that admitted this info to him, so what is he waiting for? If any of this is true, there truly will be a revolution.

I will say he is extremely convincing and intelligent. He takes a very good approach by not being party affiliated in any way, and as I said, he potentially has the credentials. Is this guy too good to be true?

Thanks!

I find it really suspect that Wikipedia removed his credentiialed history!

That is like a big red flag!

Heres a few more articles...might as well slap them up....we can see if they get scrubbed.


Inside, Clancy and Piezcenik offer this acknowledgment: ``We would like to thank Jeff Rovin for his creative ideas and his invaluable contribution to the preparation of the manuscript.''

Huh?

If anybody's name deserves to be on this project, it's Pieczenik's. ``Paul Hood is based very much on my own career over 20 years as a crisis manager,'' he said.

He's a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and hostage negotiator, serving as a deputy assistant secretary of state under Presidents Nixon, Reagan and Bush.

He and Clancy are unapologetic about the credits.

I am the person who has been 'scrubbing' the article as you put it. As I already said, if y'all provide reliable sources that can verify his backstory, it can be readded.


I am waiting to see this...get to work kgorman cause you should not have challenged me.

There are dozens of articles out there, and some of them are pay per view, which means once I pay
my 2.95 for the article I own it. Then I can publish it on the internet and the whold world will see.
