Edits[edit]

There are two mostly-identical paragraphs in this text, one that includes and other that ommits the fact that the Delphian School is funded by Scientology. Either one is essentially corrrect but one must go. Ed Mercer 18:23, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone just removed the paragraph on Scientology without prior discussion (and labeled it a minor update). Why make it an edit war ? Discuss instead of vandalizing. Ed Mercer 01:10, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arwen Elys Dayton is an aspiring screenwriter[edit]

The article referred to Arwen Elys Dayton as a "screenwriter." She has no credits in IMDB. She has no mention when searching the Variety database. She's not a member of the Writers Guild of America, which means she almost certainly has never been hired to write a screenplay. Her own webpage makes no mention of her screenwriting. Hence, she's not a screenwriter; she's at most an aspiring screenwriter. --207.69.139.7 19:39, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Except that "aspiring" is mind reading. :-) I changed the whole sentence to just say she is a sci-fi writer. The part about being published sounded defensive to me. Steve Dufour 15:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I'm wondering why there is no mention of the huge Ponzi scheme orchestrated by fellow Scientologist Reed Slatkin, in which Dayton was both (presumably innocent) shill and victim... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.182.43.170 (talk) 17:17, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The whole thing reads as if it was written by Dayton himself, or one of his assistants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.183.145.174 (talk) 05:35, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance Questions[edit]

There were a couple of notes left by previous editors questioning the relevance of a couple of things.

1. Early jobs: the question came up as to why there was a mention of Dayton working at a couple of ad firms when he was 16-18. While I think you could have an article omitting early life, since there is this section, it makes sense to include those experiences as facts of his early life. It also contributes to the narrative about becoming a young entrepreneur, which is the primary thing he became notable for--not just starting a successful company, but being very young when he did so. Just as the Zuckerberg Facebook story is not just that he started Facebook but that he did so in his dorm, as a very young man/kid.

2. Leisure activities: Again, if there's going to be a section about this, it necessitates that you include some non-business interests/activities. The whole section could be deleted, but I think people like to get a little more sense of what people are like than just the job info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbbiiizzz (talk • contribs) 19:31, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
