Biography or cv?[edit]

A biographical article includes childhood, background, personal life, etc.

A cv, such as might be submitted in support of a job application, is primarily a list of achievements.

This article is in the latter category.

Perhaps articles about people should be divided into those that are worthy of a would-be (*) encyclopaedia and those that better belong on a publicity site, perhaps something like wikipromotion.com.

(*) Would-be, because as long as self-promotion are a substantial part of the content about living people this is not well described as an encyclopaedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.71.163 (talk) 08:19, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
