[edit] Style

This article needs to be made less enthusiastic, but I think the subject is notable. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 10:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The notability is certainly asserted by the article but not proven by sources. We'd need article from reputable news source, for example, to alleviate the concern that it might be POV/advertisement. If you look at the edit history, the bulk of the article was created by a single user, hence a concern about a vanity. We usually assume good faith but every article needs to be verifiable.

Your subsequent edit does not address the POV/Vanity concern (bulk of article comes from one person). Maybe an additional tag would be appropriate. Tony Bruguier 14:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I suspect that the user who contributed this article, Cyberion is Professor Molyneux himself. The contributions [1] of this user appear to be focused upon Professor Molyneux and adding him to existing articles. SurprisedBadger 09:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The whole tone of the article is vanity autobiography and commercial self-promotion. As Molyneux is a self-employed consultant, the article is effectively intended to be an extended Curriculum Vitae/Resumé. Whilst there is factual (if generally unverifiable) content, there is a great deal of subjective assertion. SpiderJon 08:25, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
