Buries the lede
[edit]Heck this page doesn’t merely bury the lead, it omits it entirely.
This person would meet Wikipedia’s notability standard, as I understand it, due to his innovation in seeing the opportunity to sell housing market credit default swaps prior to the 2008 market crash, and making $millions, for which he was a subject of the book and movie the Big Short. But since that innovation isn’t mentioned here, a reader will not understand why he is notable or why he was the a subject of a book and movie. It resembles the biography of an ordinary person, who, while no doubt unique and special, does not meet Wikipedia’s notability standard and one is left wondering: why is he in Wikipedia, and why would anyone write a book or movie about him?
Heck, on seeing this, maybe I’ll just go create a Wikipedia page about plain old me . . . Maxjmuller (talk) 18:03, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
