Why are sources need for this article?

Why on earth is there a tag asking for citations on this page? Nothing is quoted, nothing is cited, and there is nothing controversial. Shall we see one day requests for citations of the fact that John Keane wrote a particular book? Or must we cite his passport to confirm his nationality? This is preposterous.

In the Authorship section, regarding the lines "Further details of this current projects and the reception of the Life and Death of Democracy are to be found at his site.. Click here. for relevant interviews.and Videos.." ... it seems to me links like this are usually put in the External Links section. The call to action "Click here" seems like something you'd find in promotional material, not a neutral informative article. --Chuck Baggett (talk) 16:13, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
