  • Comment: The tone of the article needs a complete revision. At present it is "bragging, see WP:PUFFERY. Phrases such as "transformed the way data" and "made it a famous sub-sector" are very inappropriate. Many other things are not notable, for instance presenting papers or teaching at MIT. Please reduce it to 1/3 of its current size (or less) and only focus on major elements. It might then have a chance, but it is not guaranteed. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:08, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: See WP:BLP. Entire early life section is unsourced. All statements, starting with the date of birth, should be sourced or removed. See also MOS:DOCTOR.
