All of this sounds more like self-promotion, more like the vigorously-written CV of someone going for an academic job, than "biography"! Is he really worthy of a long entry detailing where he went to school and where his son went to university? Surely not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.154.102.195 (talk) 14:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Almost certainly this page has been written by the author himself. Deleting it is the only responsible thing to do, as Tew is by no means celebrated or famous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.197.250 (talk) 06:59, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to Wikipedia's own guidelines, entries on people suggest that a person should be “worthy of note or notice; remarkable.” This entry fails to satisfy that criteria and should be eliminated. He's just a prof at a university, one of thousands worldwide. Contributions are minimal at best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.197.250 (talk) 05:58, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently anyone who feels like it can create a Wikipedia entry for themselves, judging from this entry. Should be deleted but perhaps no one much cares about quality here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.197.250 (talk) 04:45, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability and sourcing

Have tried and failed to find any references to add, and am wondering whether Tew is notable enough. I have not tagged the article as such because it's possible being co-director of the Brunel Centre for Contemporary Writing would make him qualify under WP:NACADEMIC. Would welcome others' views.
