Comment: Both this draft and the Brookfield article are biased by conflicts of interest. This draft does not contain information to warrant a stand-alone article. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:04, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: Some of the references are behind paywalls and need to be cleaned up so they don't say "subscribe to read" AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:34, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: The language on the article still makes it more like advertising rather than an objective description of Flatt. It should be neutralized and some of the recognition should be detailed later in the article under Awards or Recognition section AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:33, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
