This is clearly about a man who is a forceful and vigorous campaigner for his chosen cause. Perhaps in the course of editing the impression will be removed that it has been written as if presenting Arrowsmith dressed as Elmer Gantry or the other way about.

Re Bullrangifer's edit comment

Re - "TRENDS IN THE RISE OF THE “ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE" MOVEMENT: Fix. Didn't even know this article existed! - Bullrangifer"

It is the fourth source listed, deleted from the lead along with the other first ten sources, reducing the lead to the current nonsense version from that of BullRangifer here. It appears that after the article was scrubbed of content over the past few months, since the admin's IP edit block, none of the REMAINING "contributing" editors bothered to read these sources before removing these seminal sources and the content supported by them, wiping the article down to the current nonsense version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.178.73 (talk) 03:22, 8 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Not notable.

I don't understand why this person merits a Wikipage.

He has historically been called "..biased and without credibility.." by US judges: ref. Los Angeles Superior Court 2003 (NCAHF vs. King Bio - appeal).

There is little, if any, content on this page and web research brings up allegations that at least some of his self-acclaimed academic credentials are false, plus the fact that he has published at least one online propaganda piece extolling the virtues of the well-known (in Scientology circles) freezone Scientologist and originator of Dianetics, R. de Mille.

This page should be removed, in my opinion. 92.24.212.38 (talk) 01:25, 8 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Former Chair

edit

Is it usual to say about deceased persons that they were "former Chair" of something?

Sampson was Chair, then he wasn't, and then he died. So "he was Chair" and "he was former Chair". Why is the later status of being an ex-Chair more important than the earlier status of being a Chair? Sounds weird to me. --Hob Gadling (talk) 15:06, 27 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Works for me, as it indicates that he didn't die in office. Bromley86 (talk) 01:08, 28 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
