Nonsense

If this was 'nonsense' back in 2013, when it was written, it isn't now, in 2023 (what was one satire is now the norm, per usual). I was contemplating writing an essay saying exactly the same thing, after seeing yet another puff-piece sourced to blatantly paid-for content (along with an obvious forgery, just to add some spice), but fortunately chose to see whether WP:ENTREPRENEUR had already been written. Anything (Wikipedia biography, or proposed source for an article) that describes someone as an 'entrepreneur' without going into significant detail as to exactly what makes them one is engaging in promotional flim-flam, and if someone's 'entrepreneurship' can be demonstrated by particulars, it is the particulars that belong in an article lede, not the promotion.

Nice to see the 'Hall of Shame' link in the essay still works. [1] Someone should probably create a bot, to auto-nominate for AfD any new articles with 'entrepreneur' in the title, just to save us time... AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:59, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
