== Worthy? ==

Is Tom Davis actually an important or credible enough person to have an article about him? Only thing that makes him interesting is his fight with Sweeney, I recommend this article be merged with the Panorama Scientology and Me article. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 22:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
