Suggestion: make his writings separate articles
[edit]The page is a little cluttered with information that isn’t just biographical. It might breathe better if the works were stated but linked to articles exploring them further. Schracq (talk) 00:46, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Added Conflict of Interest tag
[edit]A major contributor to this article is user:Jeremyrlent and the sources for the article are overwhelmingly works of the article subject, Jeremy Lent, himself. This suggests that the article might not take an entirely neutral perspective (or at least that there may be a potential conflict of interest that the reader should be aware of). This possibly arises in the section on past career, that appears to distance Jeremy Lent from the troubles facing NextCard after his departure. Compare to the tone of the NextCard aricle itself.Kyle MoJo (talk) 22:09, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
Possible additional sources

- Lent paid $894,000 following NextCard's failure as described in this short NYT article OPENERS: SUITS; CASH ONLY, PLEASE
- Review of Patterns of Meaning by The Ecologist's co-editor Brendan Montague Beating the system - metaphorically
- SEC accuses former NextCard execs of Fraud (2004, NBC reprint of AP)
And I'm collecting some sources for a possible article on Lent's book The Patterning Instinct, which seems much more likely to achieve notability, here.
