College fraternity edit undone

I undid this good-faith edit as his college fraternity is not related to his notability and he's not so famous that it's inherently notable. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Someone put it back. Rather than revert-war I'm asking both the original contributor and the 2nd editor to explain why the information is encyclopedic. If I get no answer I may remove it again after a day or two. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggested improvements

Now that he's going to be the next CEO of the biggest company on the Fortune 500 he needs a better bio. I'm sure Wal-Mart's official bio will be beefed up a bit but we need more third-party sources.

Things to add:

  • Sections, including a brief personal life section with hometown, current spouse, number of children, notable awards, education, current activities outside Wal-mart, pre-Wal-Mart career including significant achievements and significant employers
  • Dates on all significant activities. When was he at Federated and what was his position?
  • An infobox and if possible, a photo
  • Of course, if any of those things can't be reliably sourced, especially personal and historical information, it can be left out.
  • A criticism or similar section, if he or any of his major decisions have resulted in notable public backlash.

Removal of "Controversy" section

This section seems to be based on a single blog posting and a reference to that blog post in The Advocate. While I'm sure better sources can be found, this is the very definition of "undue weight". I'm removing it per WP:BLP. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 18:12, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
