Talk:Neil Chriss

This article was nominated for deletion on 26 November 2011 (UTC). The result of the discussion was keep.

Untitled

This page exists for the purpose of self-promotion and was most likely written by Neil.

The first two sections, "Early Career" and "Academia", are simply pulled from "How I Became A Quant." Conveniently, Neil wrote his chapter in How I Became A Quant. Every chapter in that book is a first person narrative, written by the subject. The statements could be true, but they are directly from the mouth of the author, and therefore biased and unsubstantiated.

The section on Wall Street is primarily a sequence of name dropping. Unsubstantiated statements include

The Risk Magazine named Chriss one of the "Top Ten to Watch in the next Ten Years" in 1997.
One person in particular was Peter Muller who inspired Chriss to pursue quantitative trading.
He joined the group after Cliff Asness, John Liew and Bob Krail left to form AQR Capital Management.
Ray Iwanowski and Mark Carhart became heads of the group and recruited Neil Chriss.
Chriss departed Goldman and the trader game in 2000 to start a brokerage business.

The section on Mathematical Finance education lacks any citations.

The section on "Hedge funds" lacks citation. Most glaringly:

The details of his time at SAC are not well known. Chriss resigned from the firm in early 2007.

Neil is no more notable than any other person with a PhD who has gone on to work in finance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.212.61 (talk) 01:13, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If this is to be deleted then a discussion will be required at WP:AFD. As an unregistered user you don't have the ability to create the discussion page, so would you like me to do so on your behalf? Phil Bridger (talk) 09:00, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that would be good. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.212.61 (talk) 14:46, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

academic

Is he, in fact, an academic, in terms of being a person teaching at university-level and/or conducting research in a scholastic way? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 19:16, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
