Undeniable Plaigarism

Someone seems to have grafted Mr. Rubenstein's entire biography from The Carlyle Group website, and placed it in the section entitled "Biography." Without quotations or citations, this addition is rampant plaigarism. Addititionally, much of the information provided by the bio is effectively wrthless. What is the scope of itnerest for what bards Mr. Rubenstein sits on?

I am going to eliminate the biography, but work the relevant information into the Wiki page. As the photo is also horribly formatted, I will move it to the appropriate location. Porvida 00:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

David Rubenstein (investor) → David Rubenstein — Relisted. @harej 15:09, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[Proposing to move this article back to its longstanding original location at David Rubenstein. This article should be the clear primary target for someone searching for David Rubenstein rather than a disambig page. The other individual is moderately notable figure with a recently created article. A "redirects here" link should be acceptable in this situation] --|► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 20:40, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support move back to David Rubenstein as the most notable holder of the name. A separate disambiguation page is definitely needed though. --Cedders^tk 10:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Move dab to unambiguated location I am not so sure any one of the four is so much more important than the others that any of them should have the primary location.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:25, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
David Rubenstein (disambiguation) has 4 alternatives. How notable is David Rubenstein (investor) to people who are not in the financial / investment system? There are thousands of financiers and similar. Currently the plain name David Rubinstein is the pianist. Let the disambig page be the plain name?

- AA, I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting here. Had you spotted the different spellings of "Rubenstein" and "Rubinstein" here? There's two of each on the dab page. Are you suggesting that "David Rubenstein" is a dab page, to which "David Rubinstein" redirects, with four dabbed names thereafter? (I don't have any particular views, just popped in on the hope that I could close this discussion but I can't!) Bencherlite ^Talk 12:21, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I requested the move - I think it is very clear that the billionaire / private equity investor / founder of the Carlyle Group / owner of the Magna Carta, etc. is the most notable. A quick trip to google, any newspaper, etc. will make this point much more clearly. I think the point that there are thousands of similar people is completely wrong. David Rubenstein is among a small handful of the the most notable investors.|► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 21:34, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
