Hello Professor Bland-Hawthorn and Ttepperg -- Thanks for responding. I have declined the immediate request for deletion. However, you should note that creating autobiographies, or biographies of people that you know, is not recommended. You should read the guidelines at WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Autobiography, and carefully follow the instructions there, before editing the article further.

Looking at the Google Scholar profile, I believe that the subject would be likely to meet the inclusion threshold for an academic; see Wikipedia:Notability (academics) for details of how to demonstrate notability for an academic. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 07:45, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Article Issues[edit]

Hi,

It has been pointed out that this article has some issues. However, I find that the article follows the same style as other, similar articles, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Binney

Could you please be more specific about what in this article is not conforming with there required style in comparison with the above article so it can be improved?

Many thanks in advance for your reply.

Kind regards
