Sections, cleanup

I'm going to divide this article into sections, and reword a few things. I might also look for more references and try to improve the footnoting in this article. If there are any objections, please feel free to discuss/change my edits. PDCook (talk) 15:25, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Business activities

Actually, I think that might be a reasonable removal for the BLP page. This is not something the subject is famous for. But on the other hand, this is not really something contentious and could stay, unless someone can explain why this is really problematic.

Nope, this is legit content with plenty of independent sourcing. Lots of academic scientists get involved with companies - it is entirely normal and DUE. I thought perhaps there might have been a falling out, but he is still on their SAB, per that page on the company website. This is not "private" information by any means. I don't understand why he doesn't like it, but subject's feelings are not the determining factor when we consider encyclopedia content. Jytdog (talk) 15:45, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
