User talk:Csbruggers/Stanley Kaplan (Entrepreneur)
To everyone involved in this conversation, I am now working on a User article entitled Stanley Kaplan (Entrepreneur). So far as references, I am providing patent links with Stan's name on them dating back to 1962, and links to press releases dating back to Unifast Industries and American Body Armor, which should prove that Stanley all but created the business of anchor bolts, wedge anchors, expansion anchors, toggle anchors, etc, and also contributed heavily to the establishment of reliable body armor used extensively by the US Government.
Please read my talk page for longer explanations of Stan's involvement in these sciences and what prompted him to innovate the way he did. He also has a patent on record just filed for in 2010 which proves that he is continuing to innovate even at the age of 82. I spoke to Stan today. We demonstrated Myogauge for a large multi-state health and fitness organization based in New York who loved it. He is going to spend a little time writing a short autobiography, a history of Unifast Industries, and a history leading up to the creation of American Body Armor, and also the details of the founding of Myogauge. My goal is to have a section for each of these businesses as well as a personal history of Stan.
Feel free to check in on my article as it develops and give me feedback in the talk section as I go. Stanley Kaplan deserves recognition for his 60 year career as an innovator and inventor and I intend to make sure that happens. Thanks for all your help and feedback as I try to learn how to write for Wikipedia. I am an avid reader and now I plan to be an avid contributor. I see Wikipedia as one of the most important record keeping projects on earth. I understand and appreciate all the rules. Csbruggers (talk) 22:04, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit]The relevant notability criteria is WP:BIO. Press releases and patents are generally not suitable for demonstrating notability. --Ronz (talk) 22:31, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
- Also, see WP:NPOV. This article reads pretty promotional; "Kaplan continues to develop new fastener technology" is something I expect from an ad/brochure, not an encyclopdia. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 21:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
