Embedded lists

Dancter critizes "embedded lists". I don't quite see the point. I mean, what do you expect when the headline of a chapter reads "Select List of publications", "List of TV programmes" or "Select list of interviews"? A sonnet?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snemelc (talk • contribs) 10:03, 25 August 2008

Deletion?

This is a highly dubious article. Its excessive length gives the false impression that Hammerschmidt-Hummel is a notable Shakespeare scholar. Much of the text is directly lifted from her personal website. The sensationalist sub-headings (e.g. 'Identifying Shakespeare’s Dark Lady' and 'Presenting proof for Shakespeare’s secret Catholicism') and the use of the word 'findings' might suggest that she has actually presented reliable evidence and made major discoveries, which is not the case. Hammerschmidt-Hummel is not very well-known (unlike many Shakespeare specialists who do not have their own Wikipedia article) and has never been taken seriously by the academic community. I would therefore recommend deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.89.68 (talk) 16:41, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I agree that this article seems highly biased and deserves to be reviewed more carefully for deletion. However, I'm not familiar enough with the field to evaluate the sources. I'd like to recommend you review the procedure for deleting an article at WP:AFD. At the same time, please feel free to review the article for anything that does not meet the notability guidelines for an academic at WP:ACADEMIC. This article needs to be scrubbed of the resume cruft by someone qualified to it. Ronnotel (talk) 17:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cancer on Shakespeare's nose? The Roberta Ballantine contention that much of what we adhere to being Shakespeare's is in actuality much of Marlowe might be down to Marlowe being a sailor, something new to me and perhaps others, and the Sun exposure had more work on Marlowe than Shakespeare thus helping the Ballantine contention Marlowe worked for the state or royal service and could not author plays.
