`this is not an encyclopedia article - its an advert. :Then try making a contribution and improve it.   Mr. Mears sounds like an impressive and successful person, but I have to agree, this does sound a lot like advertising and possibly should be removed until it is improved.  It also sounds like it was written by Mr. Mears, his agent or one the ``cult followers`` the article mentions.  Advertising ``Having also endorsed a number of products, including the Eco Sleep System and the Woodlore Knife``  Sounds like meaningless, opinionated crap to me ``In a world market in which many do not survive, Mears definitely has.``  So he survived as a TV personality and an entrepreneur?  Maybe he survived in part by being paid to endorse products.  Also, I know someone is just having a bit of fun, but comments such as ``as well as established a great deal of respect from the less endarkened civilians in the urban Americas.``, which I removed, is insulting to Americans as well as contributing to Wikipedia's reputation as less than serious.  It also shows a high degree of unenlightened ignorance of American History.       Is the article about Ray Mears or his products, TV show and it's episode summaries?  What does the following sentence really mean:  :``Having also endorsed a number of products, including the Eco Sleep System and the Woodlore Knife, Mears has made public advocacy for ecologically sustainable consciousness and practicable behaviour a little more profitable.``  That his endorsing products has made being an advocate more profitable for himself?  Which seems to imply that he finds advocacy more profitable now that he's being paid to endorse the products.  I doubt this is true and I don't think Mr. Mears would appreciate the implications.    I'm not criticizing Mr. Mears, I'm just not too fond of the article.  Sounds a little like some marketing/promotional/advertising hack was assigned to write an article for publicity sake.  As usual, perhaps I'm wrong.      Ok, so I'm a little slow, I finally followed the link for the Episodes and I see it goes to his or someone's store where they're trying to get you to buy the DVD's of Ray's show.  Can you imagine running onto an article like this in a reputable encyclopedia?       I've removed the commercial links, and the wierd paragraph about him ``surviving`` in a world market (I don't remember him doing a show on that), but I've left the episode summaries, which seem to be quite common on wikipedia (alas). I hope this satisfies the POV objection.     I went to cut the episode listings to a separate page, but it looks like most/all of it was copied from here. Is it worth re-writing, or just cutting it and making this page a proper biography style thing?     `
