Talk:Sameer Parekh

Untitled
This article is of dubious value. Although Sameer was written up in Forbes, the preponderance of the article is essentially a vanity article. I recommend either rewriting to make it appropriate or flagging for deletion. Thames915 15:16, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree, see recent edits. Sameer was a central figure in the 90s "crypto wars," was widely quoted at that time on the subjects of encryption and privacy, and helped pioneer a number of early, innovative approaches to Internet privacy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.37.144.130 (talk) 19:53, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Promotional
The addition of data about attending an OCS course, and dropping out, was not supported (dead/404 links). But using that data to say he was a USMC officer (category), and to add the USMC portal template, makes that paragraph a purely promotional effort. With this in mind, I've tagged the article as advert and hope interested editors will continue to clean it up.--S. Rich (talk) 17:40, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
