Interesting person[edit]

The work of this person is interesting. More should be written on him and his Online Books Page. --Ludvikus 14:10, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed "Doctor" in info box[edit]

I've removed the "Doctor" in the infobox simply because I don't think it is the standard around here to do this for every Ph.D. In fact I've never seen it before. There is no intention here of questioning whether he has a Ph.D., I'm almost certain that he does, just on whether this is the standard format. Please revert me if I'm wrong.

The "American Librarians" has a lot of people with questionable notability[edit]

Hi,

I actually am a librarian and I'm also someone who studies "Cluster B" and its prevalence among librarians. There are close to 1100 articles tagged for "American Librarians". I will say - as a librarian - that librarians generally aren't so notable that they should have Wikipedia pages and a lot of these people are I think creating their own Wikipedia pages or pages for their friends & this is really a byproduct of narcissistic tendencies, with narcissism being one of the Cluster B disorders. I recommend going through the pages tagged as "American Librarians" and determining if a lot of these people meet Wikipedia's basic notability guidelines. Most of them probably don't unless they have served as ALA president, ALA executive director, or done things in the field that would make them of interest outside of it. This person is an example of someone who I don't think meets the notability guidelines of having a Wikipedia page. 2600:1700:3BAD:A210:8CA6:FDD:4BC9:4CBD (talk) 04:51, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
