While I admit that I'm a relative of the subject of this article, I don't believe that there's anything particularly subjective in the content. I certainly believe that the notability of Richard Curwin is beyond dispute, and having an article about him is justified.

I don't doubt the notability. However, there is clearly a conflict of interest with the author of this article. There is also evidence of clear subjective bias, as if this article is a job resume. The article does use subjective terms (such as "expert in the field) without any citation beyond his own web site, and lists of awards without verifiable sources. =

Dr. Curwin did lecture at our school. he article is pretty accurate and I do not believe subjective at all. —Preceding

...says an anonymous user who has been linkspamming Curwin's site to multiple pages, and who probably also has a conflict of interest. =

Fair enough. As I mentioned, I am related to the subject, not much I can do about that. I will therefore take extra care to make sure there is no purely "promotional" content, and I will try to find some external verifiable sources soon.

By the way, here are 90 scholarly articles quoting Curwin's work:
Is this sufficient citation of external, verifiable sources to warrant removing the tag from the front of the page? -

Those lists aren't sufficient but they are excellent candidates for external links. Actual sentences and claims in the article need their own specific citations. Just read and follow the guidelines at
Wikipedia:Citing sources and the article should be OK. Generally, any opinion (and superlative terms like "world expert" are opinions) need to be cited as opinions and not facts in the article, and any statement that may be controversial or subject to challenge should be cited. =
