[edit]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)
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)
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)
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)
Notability and sourcing
[edit]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.

- I have now tagged with notability. The information about his academic career has been removed by another editor; I cannot find a source to add it back. He may meet WP:NAUTHOR, if there have been reviews of his books. Tacyarg (talk) 05:24, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
