- Comment: This defuser most likely is notable–Washington Post dedicated an entire article about him.This article seems like a praise more than an encyclopedic article. I can tell that his deed's are noble. He risks his life everyday after all. However, we strive to have neutrality in our articles.For example, text like"His expertise has played a pivotal role in the successful convictions of numerous terrorists." are not natural in tone. Words like "highly regarded" or "distinguished" are subjective opinions and should be removed. I suggest reading WP:PEACOCK. Continue working on this, it has potiential!
