criticism section[edit]

The criticism sections contains mainly unsourced statements. If we remove them, as required by WP:V, we are left with Time magazine saying that JR is "the most hated man in science". While this is surely interesting and notable, it is not a criticism of his position, but a report of what feelings other people have about JR. I am sure that there is plenty of criticism of JR around, and would ask fellow wikipedians to incorporate this into the section (I am not knowledgeable in the subject). If the section does not improve within some time, I think it should be deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasy jatere (talk • contribs) 13 December 2008 (UTC)

This comment has been here, unsigned since 2008. I'm putting the unsigned template on it and replying so that it can be archived. As for the question itself, I am not against integrating the criticism into the rest of the article. Doing that is recommended best practice but I am strongly against deleting the Criticism section unless that happens. The article is pretty much a hagiography, with signs of either fan-writing or COI, and removing what little criticism we do have would tip it from being a poor article to being an outright disgrace. --DanielRigal (talk) 09:41, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The plan will create an average of 15 to 22 million net new jobs over the period 2022 to 2042. For every dollar invested, it is projected to return $2.9 dollars in GDP between 2022 and 2042." - Joaquin89uy (talk) 02:51, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
