editThis entry reads as if someone copied and pasted Mr. Lawrence's resume into Wikipedia.
Saints Row contributions
edit"He also produced the audio for all of the radio stations, and co-wrote and polished the cut scenes between missions. Over 11,000 audio assets were delivered to Volition and THQ for the game, and he hired and produced the audio for over 100 other voice talent for the DJ work, the commercials and the side voices for the radio station network in the game."
Is there a citation available that confirms the extent of his contribution? Knowing people at THQ personally who were involved with writing for the franchise, supporting documentation detailing how and in what capacity he contributed to the cut scenes would be useful. It is likely there were indeed thousands of audio assets in the title and the inclusion of that statement implies that he was involved in the production of all of them, which could also use a supporting citation if that is indeed the case.

- Try looking up the credits for Saint's Row, you'll see he's indicated as the Producer and Writer for all of the radio content in the game [1]. On his real radio show, he's also talked extensively about how he did the casting, recording, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.118.118.2 (talk) 23:42, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Demo To Go
edit"Recently David has been helping individuals create their own demos with an affordable service called Demo To Go. You can make an appointment, come into his studio, record with him for about an hour, and he'll produce the finished product and you can leave with it, ready to share with the world."
This reads like an advertisement created by the entry subject or someone with a vested interest in promoting the entry subject. Puppykiss12 06:32, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Personality section: too many vague adjectives
editIn “...executive producer of the award-winning network music show, The Net Music Countdown”, "award-winning” should be replaced by a specific mention of awards won.
In “the award-winning shows combine entertainment, information...”, again, “award-winning” should be replaced by a specific mention of awards won.
In fact this entire Wikipedia entry about David Lawrence is clearly just advertising, intended to boast and impress, not inform. I don't think minor revisions can fix this. The entire entry should be deleted. It could, of course, re-created in the future by somebody neutral. Rahul (talk) 22:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
"Advert" template
editSeriously, half this article talks about him in glorifying terms, without specifics. This concern was also noted by the two above posters. This article needs serious rewriting if it is to be encyclopedic. --V2Blast (talk) 03:41, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
How is this different from any other actor's page? His fellow actor on Heroes, Zachary Quinto, has equally promotional "advertisements" and tone in his un-commented-upon article in the section describing his new production company in glowing terms. Please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.237.153.1 (talk) 10:29, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- Awesome, you managed to find an example that changes absolutely nothing. If a different page ALSO reads like an advert, then change it. Pretending it's ok because someone else does it stopped being a valid argument for most of us right after we stopped crapping on ourselves and suckling the teat. Perhaps when you reach this point, you'll realize why we find people who attempt to forward said argument ridiculous and easy to dismiss. 68.204.29.215 (talk) 22:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)stopmakingcrapexcusesforcraparticles,you'remakingafoolofyourself
Radio
editIs this the same David Lawrence who was on-air at WDAF in Kansas City, during the late 70s or early 80s? 75.171.5.97 (talk) 20:29, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.
The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 21:08, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
