I have gone over the article and have removed some promotional material, cleaned up some overly academic language, and scutinized it re: NPOV. It now seems neutral to me. There are a couple of positive statements, but they are borne out by RS's. The term "praise" re: UK reporting on the subject's book is borne out by the media coverage I have seen, and I have included three relevant quotations in the refs. I have added four RS's to the article, and I believe that it now has adequate secondary source referencing. Therefore, I have removed the tags re COI/NPOV and concern about lack of secondary sources. If anyone has concerns about this, drop me a line on my talk page. EMP (talk05:56, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
