Comment: It's hard to work out whether you are writing about Shook, the person, or Shook's businesses. You have conflated the two. Either, both, or neither may be notable. Decide, please, what you are writing about. You are being paid for your work here, so please earn your hire.Thirty eight references for circa 14 paragraphs is tantamount to WP:BOMBARD. You also have WP:CITEKILL. Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. Three is not a target, it's a limit. Aim for one. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each case of multiple referencing for a single point and either drop or repurpose the remainder.All inline links should be removed, please, and turned into references if appropriate, Wikilinks, or external links in a section so named. See Wikipedia:External links. There should be no links pointing to external sources until those in the 'References' section (with the exception of one optional link in any infobox). This inline linking is prevalent in the books section and makes this appear to be a link farm for book sales. Use {{ISBN}} insteadCut anything out that does not add valuePlease do not add commentary using the {{AFC comment}} template. These are not for dialogue between you and the reviewers. Your work is your dialogue. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:46, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: interviews are not independent sources and confer zero notability. Theroadislong (talk) 20:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: See WP:BLP. Statements, starting with the date of birth, need to be sourced or removed. The entire personal life section is unsourced. Greenman (talk) 09:44, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: None of the Forbes articles are reliable because they are sponsored content or are written by contributors rather than staff (see WP:FORBESCON) so should not be used. The following are also not reliable: commercial sites that sell products of offer services such Amazon, Abe books and Shook Research, press releases and links to Dropbox are not acceptable. Interviews or sources that that largely rely on what Shook or those affiliated with him say are not independent so cannot be used to establish notability. S0091 (talk) 20:38, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
