Talk:Michael Corballis

This biographical article is written like a résumé. (November 2021)
The linked page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_the_place_to_post_your_résumé) is about a living person who posts his or her résumé. This is not the case because he was too busy writing 450+ scientific publication to write his own Wikipedia article, he is now dead, and he was clearly a notable person. I removed the tag.Robert P.

This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (November 2021)
Currently there are 25 sources. Of these, 3 are primary sources:
 * "Curriculum vitae" (PDF). michaelcorballis.com
 * About: michaelcorballis.com/about
 * Research: michaelcorballis.com/research

Clicking on the linked pages takes one eventually to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Misuse_of_primary_sources

The relevant section has this: Using the subject as a self-published source There are living persons [1] who publish material about themselves, such as through press releases or personal websites. Such material may be used as a source only if: [2] it is not unduly self-serving; [3] it does not involve claims about third parties; [4] it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; [5] there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; and [6] the article is not based primarily on such sources.

1. It is simple enough to justify removing the tag because Corballis is no longer a living person. But I concede that the self-published source were added when he was alive. Hence: 2. I suppose this could apply because the sources accurately describe Corballis's numerous achievments, all of which are verifiable and confirmed by other sources. 3. The sources do not "involve claims about third parties". 4. The sources do not "involve claims about events not directly related to the subject"; 5. There "is no reasonable doubt as to [the sources'] authenticity". 6. This criterion depends on what constitutes "primarily" in "The article is not based primarily on such sources". Three from 25 is 12%, which is hardly "primarily".
