This article needs substantial work to comply with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. It is poorly-sourced and promotional, and contains far too much material derived from primary sources. Per Wikipedia:Notability (people) guidelines, it is essential that the article demonstrates that the subject of the article meets our notability guidelines according to material cited in secondary published reliable sources. Furthermore, it needs to be noted that this is supposed to be an encyclopedic article, not a resumé, and sections entitled 'Selected Speaking Engagements' or 'Examples of News Coverage' are inappropriate. Likewise, any significant awards won need to be cited to secondary sources, and incorporated into the body of the article, rather than as a list. The 'List of Publications' is again inappropriate - if such publications have received comment in secondary sources, it may be appropriate to cite such sources, along with the original document, within the article body. Finally, citations need revising to conform to Wikipedia standards, rather than the bare URLs currently used. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:30, 30 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have removed the 'resumé' sections, and ask that they not be replaced. There are however still substantial issues with the remaining content, and I again ask that these be deleted. Failing this, I may nominate the article for deletion. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:27, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
