Talk:Victor Mayer

Fabergé Workmaster

This page reads like a promotional piece for why Victor Mayer's products should be considered to really be Fabergé. Is there any justification in referring to Mayer as a "Fabergé Workmaster" (a term which seems to have been spread around other Wikipedia pages, not just here) except to imply a connection to the original Fabergé which doesn't really seem to exist?

Agreed. I've removed some of the more glaring promotional hyperbole from it. Others are welcome to continue to clean it up. The article is completely unsourced and unless that is fixed, it will have to be seriously reworked. Gwernol 00:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Merge

I agree with the above section. Can we merge it to one or the other of the blue links where Victor Mayer is associated. I can't see it passing Afd if sent there. --Stormbay 21:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, this reads just like an advertisement for the modern Faberge brand - it needs to be edited by an expert to put it in its correct context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.144.191.121 (talk) 13:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, maybe I'm not the expert you were looking for, but I decided to be bold and try to turn this from an ad for a company into the biography it is supposed to be. I mean the guy died 1956 and half the article was about events at his company from the '80s onward. A breakfast of Fabrege eggs is better without the side of spam.

Conflicting dates?

Apparently he lived an exceptionally long life, but died in 1956, apparently in the faberge article, he was appointed Faberge Workmaster in 1989, was this a posthumous position award, or error? 86.141.24.135 (talk) 02:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
