Excessive use of primary sources

This article relies far too heavily on primary sources, introducing bias the author has towards themselves, so I have added the primary sources template. Shidouuu (talk) 00:46, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-:"This article contains content that is written like an advertisement."
-How so?
-What is it advertising?
-Carnegie passed away in 1955, so it's obviously not advertising him.
-His books were published before he passed away.
-The only thing that seems like a possible "ad" to me is a link to the Dale Carnegie Training company in the "external links" section, but I think that's a fair point of interest for someone reading the article.
-I do agree that the article is pretty thin though ... it could be well served by updating it after consulting references like:
-* https://www.amazon.com/Self-help-Messiah-Carnegie-Success-America-ebook/dp/B009MYB80Q
-* [[How to Win Friends and Influence People]]
-It could also benefit from splitting the article into a section on his life story and business success, and a different section on critical assessment of his life and work, which might address some of the "advertising" concerns.
