Talk:Kyle Smith (critic)

message: I'm not sure angry comments on a fringe website like the huffington post passes for controversy... should this not be deleted?
And if y'all decide to keep this, then should we not also keep all references to manufactured outrage on every commentboard on this wide internet? where does it stop?

thread_title: 'Controversy'

message: This Wikipedia page looks like a blatant advertisement for the  Kyle Smith brand. It's fair enough including his various works with a few sentences about what people thought of them, but do we really need the sub-section 'Reception' below his book Love Monkey? This section has four separate gushing reviews, broken down into four lengthy paragraphs.  I find this incredibly annoying given that Kyle Smith is mostly known for giving harsh reviews. There seems to be a kind of double standard at play here. If the reviews are to stay, let's have some objectivity at least!

thread_title:  Encyclopaedic entry or Curriculum Vitae? 

message: This "article" should be downgraded to Start-Class, imo. In fact, if you removed the calculated puffery for his novels - which are not his chief claim to fame anyway - the info about the man and his career amounts to a stub. There have been neutrality issues here for several years. The C rating appears to legitimize them and sets a bad example for other Wikipedians (especially newbs like myself).

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It was noted in other discussions that this article reads as an advertisement. Multiple users (e.g. Misterrr and AddDeWitt) seem to have a preoccupation with this page and Kyle Smith generally. These may be sock puppets supporting the subject. 
This effectively corrupts this page and it should be entirely rewritten or simply removed. Lovettbr (talk) 07:36, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

I've tried to link the Vogue quote to the Vogue (magazine) page, but it keeps going to the disambiguation page instead. Help, please?
