Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (your reason here) --PhilippPhilipp (talk) 11:29, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

there is no copyright attached to the resume of Mr Visser. That's just what he did in his life. More appropriate question is in regards that I have seen that someone tried to create a page on him before but was deleted as he apparently did not meet your criteria for inclusion. I would beg to disagree. He is at least as important as some of the other CSR experts that have pages on Wikipedia. note that I added a few URLs to support his biography.

The copyright is attached to the text, not the factual details. The page that this is copied from clearly says "Copyright © 2012 Wayne Visser. All rights reserved." Phil Bridger (talk) 16:01, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notable person[edit]

A section on theoretical contribution has been added, as well as independent references from credible sources like Fast company magazine and CSR Wire, which demonstrate this person's "notability". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoerikwaggo (talk • contribs) 09:16, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Balance and independence[edit]

The page is no longer dominated by main contributor [merlinafrica]. Biographical information is all referenced with credible sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoerikwaggo (talk • contribs) 10:20, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But it still reads as a hagiography rather than an encyclopedia article, so I am adding an {{NPOV}} template. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:24, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably you are referring to the 3 referenced quotes from Fast Company (magazine) et al. in the intro piece. These were inserted to help establish notability. I have deleted one of the references to tone down the impression of positive spin. If this is insufficient, I will delete 2 of the 3. There is nothing else I can see in the profile that fits your criticism. Hoerikwaggo (talk) 15:46, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the praise from the intro to the recognition section, I think it is more appropriate there and might address Phil Bridger's concerns. PhilippPhilipp (talk) 10:04, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the neutrality of this page has been addressed. All claims are referenced or cited. Please remove the tag.~~CambridgeCad~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by CambridgeCad (talk • contribs) 10:03, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
