Is this guy actually notable? 80% of the references on the page cite works that are directly written by him. Can we establish enough notability from third-party reliable sources alone? Currently the page reads like a cover letter to a job application: "X said that Christopher is a great guy, Y said that Christopher is an amazing guy, here are all his rare interviews, and here is his job history" (paraphrased, obviously).

The overwhelming majority of Google hits are either LinkedIn pages, promotional pages, company staff lists, blogs, columnist profiles, articles that the subject has written themselves, or a one-sentence very passing mention of the subject (e.g. "Thus it was rather odd that Christopher Joye in the Financial Review last week would suggest that contrary to popular myth, there is no housing affordability crisis."). --benlisquare_T•C•E 13:08, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete such glowing article with testimonials... I thought it was an WP:AUTOBIO. There is a lack of indepth third party coverage of him as the subject. Fails WP:BIO LibStar (talk) 00:29, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
