Talk:Brad Barkley

POV

I flagged this article for POV issues because the editor, user LBark, is Brad Barkley's son.

Seriously, that is not a neutral point of view or a reputable source.

I removed this paragraph: "In Barkley's work, his characters are intriguingly unique, such as a father who started a Christian fat camp with the motto, "What Would Jesus Eat?" in Scrambled Eggs at Midnight, and a man named Sugar who welds sculptures and then leaves them unused, lying around the yard, in "Another Perfect Catastrophe" because, seriously, "intriguingly unique" is not a neutral.

I feel like the man's pets are sort of irrelevant too. Could someone clean up this article, f'reals? I appreciate his son's contributions, but this is not how a wikipedia article should be written.

The article makes no mention of his being a university english professor while consisting almost wholly of text from the university web site (Brad Barkley, Department of English, Frostburg State University). -- Pemilligan (talk) 16:16, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
