needs a wiki page. stat. YOU KNOW IT BABY!!!!

Strange editing[edit]

The contributor Ron Heron has strangely removed factual information, including the date of birth and location of birth of Connah. Seeing as this information is given in the back of a number of Connah's books this seems very strnge. I am returning this information. --TTKK (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ARCHITECTURE DEGREE ZERO ?[edit]

A book has been added to the list of Connah's works: ARCHITECTURE DEGREE ZERO, Vertigo Press, Ottawa, 2008. According to our sources, there is no such book, and no such publisher as "Vertigo Press" based in Ottawa. Can anybody confirm this? --TTKK (talk) 13:16, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Poor state of references & Promotional tone[edit]

The quality of the sources used in this article is very poor, and most of what is written in the article isn't substantiated by the sources listed. Neither the 1st nor 3rd source treat Connah as the subject of significant coverage. The first draws a couple of short quotes from one of his works on Alvar Aalto, but doesn't discuss Connah at all. The 3rd lists him as a prize-winner in this competition for little else. Not all of the details of the competition described in the article are substantiated by the link. I'm going to check out the 2d reference (which is offline) this afternoon.

Googling around, it seems there's little prospect of this page passing either WP:CREATIVE or WP:ACADEMIC.

There's also a distinctly promotional flavour to much of the text.

I'm pinging @TTKK:, as you seem to have added in these references, to see if you could add anything more substantial to support the article which gives substantive coverage to Connah as the subject? If not, I think this probably needs to be put under examination at AfD. I'm also going to ask, and please don't take this the wrong way or as an accusation, if you have any potential conflict of interest (WP:COI) here or anything that might be misinterpreted or misconstrued as a conflict of interest?
