Competent man

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable outside of Robert A. Heinlein. Consists almost entirely of the creator's own interpretations of Heinlein's works. Online, non-RS sources discuss the subject only in relation to Heinrein. The section on 'competence porn' is about an entirely different subject which may be notable, but the section as written is POV and more importantly should not be in this article. &thinsp;&mdash; Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)&thinsp; 02:50, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
