== This article is unbalanced and needs more work to adhere to a neutral point of view == 

 This article is unbalanced  criticisms of Ikeda abound, and they need to be addressed in this article. Earlier versions of this article were more balanced but criticisms seem to have been removed one by one. While each removal discussed here is perhaps reasonable on its own, the overall effect is that the article does not follow NPOV. It is not reasonable to have a detailed list of dozens of honorary degrees and appointments, while just having a couple of sentences of criticism.
