Conflict of Interest?

I see that all your edits to the encyclopedia have been on this one article, Annette Gough. You have also included information, such as Gough's birth surname Wilkinson, which does not appear to be in any of the sources supplied. Do you have a connection with her as a friend, colleague, family member, etc? Please see Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest and tell us whether you have a COI in this article. Thanks. PamD 07:13, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Dear Pam, Yes. Professor Gough was my doctoral supervisor from 2013-2017. Can you advise how I might include that in the article? Kind Regards. Billyboybliss Billyboybliss (talk) 11:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

You wouldn't unless you have an article on WP and notable in your own right. scope_creep^Talk 11:37, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Billyboybliss: How are you. I was the editor who promoted your article in mainspace. I spent about 4-5 hours on the article in the last few days. I was planning to copyedit it, and thought it would be relatively quick process. However, there is barely any WP:SECONDARY souring on the subject and what is there is most WP:PRIMARY and very poor quality profiles, which are unsuitable as sources. That leave the problem of the current article. It cant' remain in mainspace in that state. I would suggest doing one of two thing. Either the article needs to be reduced to a stub. She is absolutely notable and as stub it can remain in mainspace until sufficient sources are available to expand it, in the future. The other choice to remove it back to AFC where you can work on the coming months. Unfortunately I don't think there is sufficient sources to work on it over time. Thrre just not a lot of secondary sourcing to make that worthwhile. I think WP:STUBIFYing is probably the best course. There is established consensus for this and it would allow it to remain in mainspace as a small article explaining who she is, the fact she has a AO and a description of her work. scope_creep^Talk 11:37, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Dear Scope. Thank you kindly for your invaluable time, helpful advice and the link to STUBS. I have already examined some of the stubs and will take stock of the other concerns that you have raised. I have other pressing issues that need my attention and will return to editing when I can. Regards. Billyboybliss Billyboybliss (talk) 14:20, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

That fine. I'll stubify it myself sometime over the weekend. scope_creep^Talk 18:39, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you Scope. You are generous in helping out. Billyboybliss (talk) 02:01, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
