This seems to be just someone's c.v. - nothing about any impact any of this individual's teachings or writings have had. Not fully sure on the inclusions for notability, but this inclusion seems to benefit only one person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.244.26.28 (talk) 02:49, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
Only the last paragraph of the section from his career could maybe warrant inclusion - and it's void of citations - other than that we just have a prolific author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.244.26.28 (talk) 02:55, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
Wound up here from looking up someone purporting to be this person on Twitter. I agree it seems to be someone's personal C.V. and not an actual article. The only source I could find that isn't under his direct control was...unflattering. [1] Essentially, it seems he's a COVID skeptic using his economics credentials to pass himself off as an expert in data science. That said, this article was edited by several people over 10 years, and he's made a name for himself lately, even if it's not a good one, so it may be valid if sources were added.

COI tag (July 2024)
editAs has been noted on the Talk Page, the page seems written as if it's a CV. Looking at the history, a lot of the current material was added by two user accounts that solely edited this page---both of which have the initials R.A.C. in them (one of whom declared/was declared as a COI). And some of the messages left by the page creator on other users' talk pages indicate that Professor Cole was at least tangentially involved in its creation. Paris1127 (talk) 00:54, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
