**The inclusion of this person is presumably based on information found in the Fall 2004 APSA Newsletter (see http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu/APSA_News_F-04.pdf) in which his role is described as follows: "Within Amgen, Chad works as a Senior Curriculum Designer at the organization’s headquarters in Thousand Oaks, CA. His group is part of a larger training function in the organization that trains new and existing employees on task- and product-specific qualities."

thread_title:  Removal of certain "key people" from infobox 

message: I am wondering if someone might know the reasoning why a search for "Immunex" redirects to this Amgen article?  I ask this because Immunex (a Biotech R&D company) was founded in the 1980's and had quite a notable history of accomplishments before it was acquired by Amgen in 2001. If no one has any objections, I would like to set up an Immunex article, which can, of course, redirect the reader to the Amgen article, should they want to read more about the company by whom Immunex was acquired.  Does anyone know how I can find out if there was formerly a Wiki article on Immunex?  Thank you kindly.  Tell someone (talk) 02:00, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: The article has gone too far the other way now, the criticism section is the largest section of the article. And realistically the Sensipar trial can hardly be considered criticism - clinical trials have deaths. The wording alone is ambiguous; Sensipar is still available for use, it was dosages in children with ESRD that were being tested. Mc8755 (talk) 23:01, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
