Draft:Mark Boris Nicola Hansen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: I'm happy to accept that this person is notable on account of the named chair. However, I'm unable to accept this draft, because too much of the information is unreferenced (eg. which published source provides the DOB? where does the information in the 'Career' section come from?), and most of the sources only reference the subject's own works.
