Look at some similar articles. This one reads like a PR piece, not an encyclopedia article. Flatterworld ( talk) 05:29, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I tend to agree. I saw this guy on a TV show and couldn't get oriented as to what he is about. I consulted Wikipedia for more perspective and found nothing useful. I have found that a number of Wikipedia articles have this problem Editors seem to have a hard time presenting the big picture. In this case, I still have no clear idea of what Ian Bremmer is about. --- Dagme ( talk) 15:28, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
An interesting contrast is the Wikipedia entry for Fareed Zakaria, a close colleague of Bremmer. In that article, there is a long section called "Political Views". This section presents diverse perspectives on his political views, which enable the reader to get some sense of what he is about. Something like this is completely absent from the entry on Bremmer. --- Dagme ( talk) 15:54, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Totally agree about the PR comment. Did his publisher write this?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.216.12.38 ( talk) 22:00, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
No, he probably written that personaly 195.29.212.250 ( talk) 14:11, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Making note of what I suspect to be several instances of undisclosed WP:COI issue. This article has already been noted to have issues along the lines of WP:NPOV and WP:NOTADVERTISING, which appear to stem largely from four accounts:
Update: From other articles, here are users that appear to pop up solely to add external links or otherwise embellish Bremmer/Eurasia Group-related content. I made note of some of them on the Eurasia Group talk page here, but as I go through other books and accounts it's going to be more convenient to put them all together in one place. This was not how intend to spend my Saturday morning, but here we are anyways :) :) :)
In short: It appears several accounts near where Bremmer and his company are located have been driving the production of this article and other related ones for several years, using it as an advertising platform. Evidence an employee of the company specifically created an account to specifically edit as well. I am going to do major cleanup and will refer to this discussion section to justify rather large deletions of content, if necessary. WhinyTheYounger ( talk) 03:57, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
In addressing some of the COI issues on Ian Bremmer's page, some items were removed that might still warrant inclusion. I wanted to highlight those, as well as some other suggested updates:
Because of my COI, I understand that I cannot directly edit this article. I remain grateful for any guidance/feedback on these and any other issues. Thank you! -- Brianharper89 ( talk) 19:29, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
If the products and services are not notable enough for their own article, the discussion of them should be trimmed and summarized into a shorter format, or even cut entirely if the products are not significantly mentioned in reliable secondary sources.It would help significantly if you were able to locate mention of independent, significant, and reliable sources mentioning the development of the company's services and/or the annual report.
