This page is not impartial and is almost certainly written by Sean Gabb or someone close enough to him to have a conflict of interest.
In any case, the entry is full of biased, promotional content. It is also far longer than is necessary.
Can it be cut down to something smaller and impartial, and could User:Kentishresident be prevented from making further edits?

I have added a note on Dr. Gabb's racism and antihellenism as well as pointing out the fact tha he wrote this article himself, i.e. it is an autobiographical piece. Also added a section on his antihellenism with sources from his articles. These are currently scant but I have high hopes once he next visits this page that some more material will be forthcoming. If you feel you must delete the Mr. Bean influence please take two points into accaccount (1) whether he has confessed it or not, it's indubitably there. (2) there is no source on his other model's either, so I think it should be included for completeness. I also added a better picture from his website that vividly illustrates the last point and I feel better captures the essence of the man. Filoxenos ( talk) 20:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
I have put an Original Research tag on this section. It is in clear contravention of WP:OR. As you are trying to act in good faith I will leave this section alone for a couple of days before deleting it to give some time for sources to be found to show that his comments on modern Greeks have been objected to.

You can hardly blame me that no-one cares about what he writes. If a tree falls in the forest etc... Oh, well...Take care. Filoxenos ( talk) 20:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
This is quite similar to Koh-i-noor fracas, but there really does not seem to have been much off-Wikipedia reaction. Has anyone seen any? JASpencer ( talk) 07:38, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
I second Filoxenos. If a tree falls in the forest etc., ( Mropendialogue ( talk) 18:47, 8 August 2010 (UTC))
Of what? Phd? MD? -- Cameron Scott ( talk) 17:00, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I have added a entry on Sean Gabb's controversial position on the role of the British Empire along with direct quotes. My intent is no ensure that readers are not misled about his claim. Which is why I include direct quotes which are properly sourced.
Let's be clear about this for something to be "controversial" in wikipedia terms, multiple reliable sources have to comment upon it, it's not simply enough that the subject of the article says something, someone has to comment on it. Calling those remarks controversial without reliable sources is simply original research and that is not permitted. --

This is getting a bit unbalanced and there is a lot of undue weight on random controversies (usually something people don't like about what he's said). Here are some more quotes, etc:

It appears he is saying a lot of things that people do not like to attract attention. ( Mropendialogue ( talk) 18:45, 8 August 2010 (UTC))
An awful lot of the references are either to his own blog, or to articles written by him for organisations he was working for. Frankly it's a bit of a linkfarm for his self-promotion. DuncanHill ( talk) 11:20, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
