== Should not be characterized as an economist ==

The first sentence and the title of the article describes the subject as an "economist". While the subject has among other things studied economics (as many people do), the subject is not an academic economist and it's misleading to describe him as such. It's puffery. Reliable sources do not consistently identify the subject as an "economist". The subject is a former financial trader, and YouTuber. ] (]) 21:01, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Self publicist

This page is entirely based on writing by the subject and completely lacks primary sources - delete? Livermore1922 (talk) 12:12, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

That's a contradictory claim, as primary sources are usually sources that are written by the subject. Do you mean it completely lacks secondary sources? I made sure that this article is largely based on secondary sources, which is required for pages on Misplaced Pages. I'm confused as to what you mean. JamJamSvn (talk) 16:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
He's been covered in numerous reliable secondary sources, so notability and RS have been fully established. I don't think there's any case to answer. G-13114 (talk) 16:43, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Is there some reason why this article was written to present Stevenson's claims at face value, even when reliable sources say he's lying? bobrayner (talk) 10:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
Those sources saying he's lying are recent, and as far as I can tell weren't present when I first wrote this article! JamJamSvn (talk) 15:01, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
