Someone with an axe to grind keeps inserting POV stuff into http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Bradford and accusing anyone who makes any changes/reverts of being a 'liar'. Personally I've never even heard of Easter Bradford, but could somebody else cast an eye on this before I get drawn into an edit war about something I couldn't even care less about?
I would say that the bulk of that entry fails the confirmability test. It does appear that someone with an axe to grind is doubting the veracity of the information given, and without some independent sources, my feeling is that the article should be removed or at least cut back to a stub of confirmable information.
I just said the same thing on the talk page, and probably this discussion can just continue there, as there's not really a policy issue just yet. Policy nerds such as myself should take note of this as a good example for future discussions of people editing articles about themselves.
My general feeling is that it is almost always a social faux pas to write an article about yourself. It's nearly always a faux pas to even edit such an article, although if someone else wrote an entry about you (and I'm not talking about a buddy that you put up to it!) I suppose it wouldn't be horrible to step in and correct factual errors.
To me there's a certain unsavory braggadocio involved in proclaiming oneself to be worthy of an encyclopedia article.
