Keep * Tom Farrage is one of the best well known metal craftsman in US. He has accomplished numerous intricate and well published projects and his skills are far beyond what most craftsmen can dream of. He has worked with numerous prestigious architects and designers in US and has taught at different institutions and universities in Southern California. Although I can have limited references in hands, I believe this article will grow as more people adding their references and information. I believe he will continue to thrive in his career and contributing to the realm of Art, Architecture and construction. Therefore, I strongly urge that this article should not be deleted. Please see below how I addressed the issues.

The Revised Article has addressed the issue of "notability" with adding more major independent sources including newspaper, print magazines and books. Please note I am not Tom Farrage. I have met him, worked with him and have been following his work over the past 10 years.

The Revised Article has addressed the issue of "Autobiography" with using a different writing style and adding new quotes with references

The Revised Article is in the process of addressing the issue of "Ophan" with adding links from different places
