Proposed Deletion

This is a biography of a living person. I am working in this field myself and read a couple of papers. This person is not notable enough. It appears to me that it is a personal advertising for an academic job considering that the original person who created it uses an IP from where this person currently works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.38.250.245 (talk) 20:54, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also vote for deleting this self promotional article76.20.60.91 (talk) 18:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His work on n-agent optimal motion planning is actually really important. I think it is pretty obvious that the author of the article is Jur van den Berg, so it may actually be the case that the article should be deleted. However, if it is indeed deleted, it SHOULD NOT be because he is not notable enough, because he clearly is notable enough. FULL DISCLOSURE: I both work in the field and work with Jur. Although I wouldn't have written the article, and although I do agree that perhaps deletion should be considered, I do believe also that it also should not be because of the non-issue of notability. 24.10.221.165 (talk) 16:23, 2 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.221.165 (talk) 16:14, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not certain why you believe so strongly that Jur wrote this article. For what it is worth, I met with him in person and inquired if he had written this article. He replied that while he was somewhat flattered that he is featured on Wikipedia, he did not write the article himself. As far as his credibility as a notable engineer goes, he was just hired by Google to work on their self-driving cars (if that helps). Perhaps we'll be able to use a source for that once he's connected to a product of theirs. 98.202.84.31 (talk) 22:48, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this page should be deleted. People can feel free to argue the reasons individually, but the fact that their exists so many independent reasons (i.e., no references, promotional, etc.) makes an overwhelming case for deletion in my opinion. Pages like this give Wikipedia a bad reputation. 142.1.217.53 (talk) 13:32, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Self promotional

This article appears to be self promotional. The references are to the person's own webpage. This article also includes false claims (He is not an Industrial engineer). I highly suggest to delete this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.60.91 (talk) 18:00, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reference is pointing to Berkley's website, not his own website. It is a weak reference, hence the request for more references. Jarkeld (talk) 18:50, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Berkeley website is published by the subject. You have unintentionally reverted the article back to a version that has so many false claims. That page can go to external links but cannot be used as a reference. I'd like to emphasis that no self published page should be called a reference. Please roll it back to a version that is more accurate. He is not an industrial engineer. Please undo your edits. 76.20.60.91 (talk) 19:18, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article started from within subject's own institution

The first IP that started this article has no credibility. It has only one contributions and that's this page. The IP also appears to be from the same city and the same region of subjects work place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.60.91 (talk) 18:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow,Mr. van den Berg must really have done something to upset you! P.S. Last time I looked at a dictionary someone in industrial engineering was referred to as an industrial engineer! Henry 166.137.15.254 (talk) 14:32, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
