Neutrality[edit]

This article reads more like a hagiography than a neutral biography. Legum appears to be a successful businessman whose philanthropy has made local headlines, but this article lists every minor award (car dealership awards, etc) that he has ever received. It needs to be cut down to size. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:53, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

Llzorn (talk · contribs) has added or restored a series of images to this article (as here) that I feel add nothing to the article but to promote Mr Legum as an "important man" who has met several presidents. I feel these images do not belong in the article. LZorn has not engaged in any discussion on the matter, either on a talk page or, at the very least, through an edit summary. I invite this user (an SPA who has edited no article other than this one) to explain why they feel these images are appropriate for this article.

@WikiDan61: I took these images out, before seeing this thread. I agree that they are just personal promotion. There is obvious COI going on here, given that one of the images is a letter from the Whitehouse. --- Possibly (talk) 01:32, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
