Proposed deletion

I'm pretty surprised by the proposal for deletion of this article.

Seriously, a quick look at Standing's website will easily demonstrate that he regularly published books, papers, and wrote pieces and gave interview for many newspapers. Last year, he was invited to more than 100 times to make conferences about his last book (The Precariat).

Also, as a former researcher for the International Labor Organization, Standing helped the academists to measure better precariousness with the creation of new indexes (i found them mentioned on the french page for economic indexes here. You'll also find his name on the wikipedia page of the ILO. (will update the article about this in the future).

All in all, i reckon the current version of the article may be too short and not sourced enough. But please, instead of deleting it, help me improve it! Let me know what you think is missing? What is unclear? not enough sourced? and so on. thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanjourdan (talk • contribs) 22:26, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Guy standing to sitting, in Ottobrunn (Germany), attending the BIEN Congress in 2012. Because you are wrong guys. He's sitting. SwegBEFMN (talk) 10:20, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Guy Standing sitting in..."

Please put some form of edit protection. People keep vandalizing the page with "Guy Standing sitting" (see edit history). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.145.146.223 (talk) 11:33, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's accurate, though. The photo is of Guy Standing, sitting, so it isn't really vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:642:4401:5FAD:B578:DD86:2D32:3DEA (talk) 12:04, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's still just a pointless joke. There's no actual reason for it really being there. I suggest changing the picture to him not sitting. --71.185.50.111 (talk) 21:17, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's no reason for his picture to be of him pointing with both hands at a computer monitor, looking like a computer-befuddled godfather, either. Not only is it utterly harmless to have his picture be of him sitting, but the sitting picture is finely posed as an introductory photo of him - actually choosing a poorer-posed photo just to avoid the joke actually draws attention to it.
