Talk:Harald Malmgren

Multiple issues with this article
This article gives every indication of being an autobiography - this is strongly deprecated in Wikipedia.

There is not one reference to support the whole thing. There is no formatting of any hint of compliance with the manual of style. In its present state, despite its lofty ambitions it would qualify for deletion as an sourced biography of a living person. It needs fixing fast or facing deletion.

 * I have been searching on tall the established search engines and found only an author intent on selling his books. None of the supposed important facts have any references for them. I suspect a Walter Mitty type hoax here  Velella  Velella Talk 17:38, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, you are either a lying liar telling lies, or should consider putting a halt to your Wikipedia activities until you've taken a basic internet searching how-to class. Suppafly (talk) 03:33, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as pure vandalism or a blatant hoax, because... Ambassador Harald Malmgren's international contributions are legitimate and can be verified easily on many academic, professional, and government documents. I strongly believe this page will be improved in a timely fashion. In the mean time, here are some hastily pulled up links to verify Ambassador Malmgren's identity:

Its pretty clear that Harald Malmgren is a highly cited academic. He is is legitimate as is the entry.

Move to Harald B Malmgren?
I'm thinking we should consider moving this to Harald B. Malmgren since some of the chess player articles link here. The chess player is Harald V. Malmgren, but is universally just mentioned as Harald Malmgren. Suppafly (talk) 16:52, 15 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree. They are related by blood, but have left very different legacies. The distinction is a good idea.Viivivaike (talk) 21:56, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Externals
I removed this from the references but it is pretty excessive for external.--LedgerTom (talk) 19:04, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
