Talk:Investment banker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page either needs to be entirely reworked, or scrapped altogether. To whoever keeps recreating the page, could you please explain why it needs to exist, rather that just reverting the redirects? None of it is sourced, there's no particular order to it, and some of the commentary in the later stages is largely incoherent, totally NPOV, and duplicative of material in much better articles. I'm redirecting it to the Investment Banking article. If you want to restore it and improve it, please comment here as to why. JustThatGuy2 (talk) 14:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Agreed - page should be reworked

This page does nto make sense. Much of the information references the brokerage business not the investment banking business - i.e. Wachovia Securities CEO Danny Ludemen is the head of the retail brokerage business - he has nothing to do with the Investmnet Banking business of Wachovia (which, confusingly, is also called Wachovia Securities but is a separate entity). The information needs to be seriously edited with much of the extraneous info moved elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sefinke (talk • contribs) 13:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seconded - this page is a disaster

The information does not pertain to the profession "investment banker" as it should, but is just a list of previous banks. This would be better off titled "A historical list of financial firms."

As previous posters have acknowledged, sections 1-12 do not convey any useful information that has anything to do with the topic.

The following sections 13-24 are entirely incoherent and biased, stressing the author's (and there clearly is a single author) point of few rather than impartial information. Furthermore, the quality of these sections is atrociously low and by absolutely no means meets the standards of Wikipedia.

The shortcomings of this article--particularly its pointlessness and its biases (e.g. the author has a poor view of Greenspan, so he claims widespread use of his nickname "Mexican Hairless")--create a negative impact on Wikipedia and on the investment banking industry. Much of the information is patently false and conspiratorial. The article should be removed or entirely changed so as to outline the lifestyle and jobs associated with investment bankers. I also suggest redirecting it to "investment banks" as a temporary solution, though I do feel that a separate article about investment bankers merits consideration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.154.53 (talk) 14:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Redirected, as it was I don't think it could be salvaged.--Doug Weller (talk) 15
