Conflict of interest

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In accordance with the policy on biography of living persons that says "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libelous" I am deleting the section on "Conflict of interest" from this article, and explaining it following.

This is the section being deleted:

In May 2011 England was accused of judicial misconduct for failing to reveal a conflict of interest in relation to an organization he help set-up which among other things was accused of severe accounting fraud. England dismissed the case against himself

The section is poorly sourced. The only source is Lawless America. The "conflict of interest complaint" was a leaked confidential complaint by an anonymous source. Lawless America itself appears to be an advocacy site sensationalizing stories about public corruption.

The section violates the general prohibition of using court documents as sources in a biography of a living person (Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary and secondary sources and Wikipedia:No original research). The deleted section is completely reliant on sections from a court filing copied by the cited source.

Because this section is about a non-notable allegation and reports no response to the allegation, it violates Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Also it misrepresents it source saying that the the judge had a conflict of interest with an organization he helped set up, when in fact the allegation refers to the judge's relationship with the State Bar of California.
