Conflict Of Interest
edit(Copied from WP:COIN to meet the requirements of the COI template, which requires a discussion on article's talk page)
Howdy. I ran across the article Saša Toperić today. It basically reads like a resume. Can I get a second opinion on what to do with it? Some of the problems I see are...
- At least one COI editor. You can see in the article's edit history.
- Notability problems. Most or all of the sources are primary/poor. Lots of dead links too.
- NPOV/undue weight problems. The article talks about (imo) non notable things.
I was wondering if I should nominate it for deletion, but then I noticed he's a published author with 8 books. They're all from the "Brookings Institute". The books do appear to have ISBN's.
I guess I could slap some tags on it. Which tag(s) do you recommend? Any other actions? Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:06, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, Novem Linguae, the first thing to note is that as is this is the Conflict of Interest noticeboard, it is made clear (in red letters at the top of this page and as a warning when you edit this page), that you must notify any editor who is the subject of a discussion here. You should do that now. I would also suggest the first step prior to that would be to leave the editor a WP:COI warning on their talk page and see if they respond, which is what I have just done.

- Melcous. Ok. According to edit summaries, looks like the following 4 editors have COI. I've left a COIN notice on their talk pages.

- Thanks. I have added two maintenance templates to the article, because it contains a lot of unsourced content, and because of the apparent conflicts of interest. It needs someone to take the time to work through it and find third-party sourcing. Melcous (talk) 00:54, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
