Review section
[edit]I am nominating this featured article for review because there is very little post-2015 information. I am also concerned that this article reads more like a promotional piece for his knives rather than a biography of this person's life. There are also many sources that are listed as citations that are not used as inline references, and an extensive "Further reading" list, which makes me believe that this article is no longer comprehensive. I am also concerned with the short length of the lede. Z1720 (talk) 23:47, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC: this article was at 2007 standards, but is not at current standards, and without Mike around, no one is likely to address the issues. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:58, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC: Reads too much like a promotional piece. Cinderella157 (talk) 01:00, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC - needs work, and original author is gone. Among other things, I'm not convinced that the Emerson knives in media section should even be in the article. Hog Farm Talk 14:40, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC my concerns have not been addressed yet. Z1720 (talk) 01:19, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
