Finance Director

My main problem with the article as it was is that it was not encyclopedic:

• It made no effort to define a Finance Director or the role played by one.
• It was written to promote a concept.
• It was written from a recessionary perspective.
• Its main subject was why a Finance Director can be dispensed with.
• The style used was not in line with the manual of style.
• Because there are no sources quoted for the opinions expressed article could have been deemed to be original research.

If all these concerns are addressed then I'll have no problem with an article on UK Financial Directors. LittleOldMe (talk) 11:43, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
