Neutrality related tags[edit]

I added the tags related to neutrality and a few others. The section on "Life and career" is just an overly detailed puff piece. The entire section seems like it was written by this person himself, or a PR agency. It has long detailed intricate but mostly irrelevant details. There are multiple sections with no references at all, and of the total of 3 references cited they are used multiple times. This subject is hardly notable or prolific enough to justify the backstory of every pitch and earning of every script. There are only 12 projects in the entire filmography to justify the lengthy "life and career" section. The current article of most successful producers and screenwriters (JJ abrams for example) in the world don't have sections this detailed and intricate, and their filmography is usually several times larger than the one here. There are sections that seem autobiographical and very biased, very little here is encyclopedic. This needs a closer look and lot of trimming. Theo10011 (talk) 22:30, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I took a crack at trimming this article & did my best to remove the most egregious "puffery". I removed a number of NPOV details, cleaned up some extraneous unsourced details, and added sources where I was able. It's clear to me that the "Life & Career" section in particular would benefit greatly from a rewrite. Aprude51 (talk) 00:27, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
