This entire article reads like an advertisement.
"His book, which has helped many of the nation's most successful entrepreneurs reach and exceed their goals..."
The article seems rather adulatory of this individual. HedgeFundBob (talk) 18:49, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Obviously this article was written by this guy, who is using it to promote his business. Someone should take it down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.60.0.89 (talk) 19:44, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
The writing in this article strikes me as very self-serving. It is written much like a huckster's advertisement and it seems to clearly violate the living person biography criteria. It is actually remarkable that it hasn't been removed. Much of the references seem to be circular in nature and there seems to be very little independent validation.Wraythe (talk) 18:17, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
The article was recently revised and sigificantly trimmed, and doesn't appear problematic anymore. Mannpark (talk) 04:05, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Mannpark, I am not sure what your relationship to the subject is but I am sorry, I don't see that it was "revised and sigificantly trimmed." I still respectfully think that the article is just an advertisement and not a valuable biography and it should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wraythe (talk • contribs) 18:29, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
- I'm referring to all of the changes that were made on June 8th.Mannpark (talk) 19:51, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

I think the article could use a rewrite for tone. Deletion is probably not appropriate. Once someone's work becomes a subject for The Wall Street Journal, he is probably pretty well discussed in the literature although not necessarily in a format that describes his complete biography.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:20, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- P.S. in addition to being mentioned in the WSJ, note that the Chicago Tribune mentions him often (google search for "Marc Lane site:Chicagotribune.com").--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:25, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- Agree that deletion is not appropriate -- removed the proposed deletion tag. Mannpark (talk) 01:57, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
At least one major contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.
Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:26, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
- I saw that you reverted this page to a previous version, and I was recently notified that I was in violation of Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest. However, I have updated my user page with the Paid-contribution disclosure to comply with the requirements. Please undo the revert or let me know if I missed any further requirements.

Collaborative Edit
Hello all. I am affiliated with the Law Offices of Marc J. Lane. I recently attempted to restore a substantial amount of text that had been deleted by editors who believed it to be too self-promotional. The text had been previously deleted on the grounds that it was written by someone who inadvertently failed to disclose their affiliation with the Law Offices. So in restoring the text, I disclosed my affiliation. That apparently made no difference to the editors. I respectfully disagree with their assessment as to the self-promotional nature of the article, but as there is no higher power to appeal to, it seems the article will need to be rewritten.
I am willing to do that, but I don't have the time to do a complete rewrite only to have the article chopped down again. So I'm proposing to whomever might edit my work that we collaborate in advance of a re-write to identify what's acceptable and in line with Wikipedia's editorial standards, which I fully support. I just don't want to waste my time.
Can anyone who would be monitoring and/or editing my work please respond to discuss my proposed collaboration?
All the best.
