problematic tone: NPOV, laudatory language[edit]

In my opinion the language used through-out the article seems problematic, as it is not neutral and encyclopedic in its tone. Claims and hyperboles can be found in many places. I'd suggest a removal of all such wording. Furthermore the only external sources seem to be Disch's own website, which in this case seems to be in conflict with Wikipedia's policy on Self-Publishing (WP:SELFPUB) especially as the article is written in a laudatory style. I can only speculate of the reason for this style, but would hope that the responsible authers reflect on the fact that Wikipedia is not a marketing platform. (WP:NOTADVERTISING) Futhermore this style applies to other Disch-related articles, namely: Rolf Disch Solar Architecture, Heliotrope (building) --Kurt.Klienmann (talk) 13:48, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
