After creating the page I added a few additional references, citations, and external links to support the information. There are several items to show Matthew Kelly's credentials as an international speaker and best selling author.
Not clear on what other additions may be needed or what may be biased about the article, but I'm happy to address any concerns. Thanks! Yobbo14 ( talk) 02:35, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
I certainly appreciate the info on items to address. I'll continue to modify things accordingly and also work on introducing other sources to support the article. Thanks. Yobbo14 ( talk) 10:53, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
No...didn't cut and paste, but I understand what you're getting at. Wanted to present information that was consistent with the websites, but going forward I'll adjust accordingly. Thanks. Yobbo14 ( talk) 15:30, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
My contributions to Wikipdeia are limited, so I'm not clear on the protocol for removing the notices applied at the beginning of the article (multiple issues, neutrality concerns, etc.). Does an admin remove these notices after a later review - or is it my call to remove them once I feel these issues have been resolved? Thanks. Yobbo14 ( talk) 15:36, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. I went ahead and removed the tag indicating an issue with notability. Google his name (as lecturer) and plenty comes up to suggest he's a fairly well-known speaker, and not limited to a specific group. I suppose there are a few more references I can locate and include - and perhaps some tweaks to the text. But I think the adjustments I've made so far have helped. Any specific suggestions would be helpful. Thanks again. Yobbo14 ( talk) 17:19, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
It seems that most of the issues have been addressed (citations for verification and self-published sources) to warrant removing some of the tags. Certainly if there are any specific concerns, I'm happy to address them. Thanks to everyone who has been assisting. Yobbo14 ( talk) 20:18, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
This is Jenna from Dynamic Catholic - at Matthew Kelly's office. This page needs some updates. Matthew has changed his focus - most noticeably, the audiences he speaks to quite a bit in the last couple years. I understand that as a close source to Matthew, it might be best for me to start out by making suggestions on this talk page rather than make the changes myself.

Hello, my name is Jenna and I work with Matthew Kelly at Dynamic Catholic.
In an effort to improve our brand and provide the most accurate information available, Matthew has requested that I make significant edits to this page and I would like to notify the users involved before doing this. I certainly do appreciate your good efforts to promote Matthew Kelly, but at this point, Matthew Kelly would like to take over his Wikipedia page.
I have prepared the text that Matthew has asked me to use, and would like to make these changes as soon as possible. This would mean pasting over the information currently on the page.
