Article tone
I have inserted a tag in respect of this article's unencyclopedic tone. There is a citation tag from 2016 and advice on improvement from DiversithonBerlin from 2019. The article includes some references to academic papers but virtually nothing support the biographical information given. Some of these improvements appear to have been made, but the article still has the appearance of a biog entry provided by a person themself for inclusion in a conference document. Indeed, the discursive format of the 'career' section, with no supporting references, seems to imply that the subject or an agent of the subject is the author of this article. This would be a breach of COI standards. Without the unsupported information, even taking cognisance of the improvement advice, this article would be appear to be best presented as a stub. The notability standards appear to be met, in particular by the subject's recent appointment as chair of the UK Food Standard Agency.

I will wait to see if anyone has a view on this then will delete the unreferenced material (which has been flagged for 5 years) and mark the article as a stub. SteveCree2 (talk) 07:38, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

I've removed long-standing biographical material, possibly COI, with no citations (citation tag was 5 years old). I've removed out of date citations and those which do not support the article's content, along with the related content. I've tidied up the style and have ensured all information has appropriate citations. I've therefore removed both the 5 year-old citation tag and the unencyclopaedic style tag. The article is now very short and may more appropriately be a stub. However, the subject's public appointment is a fairly important public one in the UK, and it may be that other editors feel that a much fuller article would be appropriate. I will wait to see if any more information is added, and might look out more myself, and so in the meantime I will not revert it to a stub. SteveCree2 (talk) 14:19, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
