Bamidele Ali

Created by BU Rob13 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:58, 25 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg New enough, long enough, QPQ done, and overall within policy. The hook is properly formatted. The issue in this case is that the source for the hook is not a very reliable source. The prose of the bio used as a reference is not very good and the company's website seems like it is a very small venture that is trying to make itself appear to be a large company. The website tries to paint an overly-rosy view of themselves and employees and I think that a better, independent source is needed to support the hook. This is the text supporting the hook:

With years of experience in design, defining technology roadmaps, and creating new business models, his focus is now turned “dimensionally” on 3D printing. With advances in 3D printing his 7-year old son’s [Freedom Ali] ability to innovate will only be limited by his creativity, not by the tools at his disposal.

The company's "About us" page cites the Wikipedia article for its product and I'll admit I checked the nominator's user page and contributions just to make sure this wasn't promotional (no apparent conflict-of-interest). Please either find a much better source or suggest a new hook. AHeneen (talk) 06:57, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
