This article may contain material not appropriate for an encyclopedia edit
Paul Wilmott currently contains numerous claims, but no citation or reference to allow independent verification of any of those claims. WP:Verifiability says: The threshhold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.
This article currently contains such vague claims as:
He is well known as the author … Who said he is well-known? What is the source of this claim?
He … is on the editorial boards of several academic journals. What journals? This statement may be completely untrue but without the academic journals being identified it is impossible to prove the statement is untrue.
This article appears to be nothing more than an unashamed promotion of Paul Wilmott. The article does not establish any notability for Mr Wilmott.
If a person is to be the subject of an article on Wikipedia that person must possess adequate notability. See WP:Notability and WP:Notability (persons). Dolphin51 (talk) 13:10, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- I have edited Paul Wilmott to delete all unsourced (unverified) material. As a result, I have removed the "unencyclopedic" banner. I will have no objection to the deleted material being restored to the article provided it is supported by a citation to show an independent source for the information.
- The article remains at risk of being nominated for deletion because it probably fails to establish that Mr Wilmott meets the criterion for notability required for a person to qualify for a biographical article in Wikipedia. See WP:Notability (persons). Dolphin51 (talk) 03:23, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Dolphin51. Thanks for your comments. I have changed the wording slightly - I hope that's in order...
- As regards notability:
- per Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Criteria: "The person has published a significant and well-known academic work. An academic work may be significant or well known if, for example, it is widely used as a textbook; if it is itself the subject of multiple, independent works; or if it is widely cited by other authors in the academic literature", which is true...
- per Wikipedia:Notability_(persons)#Creative_professionals: "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors", which is also true...
