Wikipedia is not a resume host

I accept that Mike Loades is a notable person, but please try to maintain a formal, neutral, 3rd party tone. In particular, making glowing but unsupported and weasel worded claims regarding how other people view the subject looks a lot like marketing. Rogerborg (talk) 10:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious descriptions

Loades is described as a "military historian" and "writer," yet only seems to have edited a single book, and authored none. IMDB does not include any writing credits. I am therefore removing or amending the text accordingly. Nick Cooper (talk) 12:03, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be written by the subject

This contains no background material at all and bares an incredible resemblance to the subjects own website. Unless more information, suggest it is deleted.

Lack of available sources

I tried my best to find online sources for him and got just five. These will barely support his notability so that this page will survive getting nominated for deletion because of WP:GNG. I feel this subject is just a bit higher than a person with borderline notability. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 17:56, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
