Talk:Lyor Cohen

BLP
Hi. I was drawn to take a look at this article by a ticket opened at the biographies of living persons noticeboard. I have added inline sources and replaced some of the blog sources with reputable. I am now in the process of looking for reputable sources for the ones that I have not yet replaced. Per WP:BLP, controversial information that does not have the verification of reliable sourcing must be removed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Undue
I have finished addressing the sourcing concerns in this article to the best of my ability and have removed several sections as indicated above for lack of sufficient sourcing. I have also merged the controversy about the clothing line into the TVT lawsuit section, since the two are intrinsically connected. If Cohen had not estimated his net worth to help the court determine damages, his opinion of the value of the company would not have come into question. While I did find a reliable source for Cohen's appearance at a bail hearing for TI, the source did not peg Cohen as a character witness. I have removed the section for concerns of undue weight, since I could only find one mention of Cohen's appearance there and nothing to indicate that it was controversial. The section as removed read as follows: In October, 2007, Cohen appeared at the bail hearing for Atlantic Records' rapper T.I. who was arrested earlier that month for possession of three unregistered machine guns and two silencers, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon; Cohen pledged financial support. (Note: to see the source, BET, please look at the code.) It is possible that this may develop into a legitimate controversy, since it is relatively recent, so I am including it here in case it saves time down the line. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Going To Try To Clean This Up
I plan to clean up sources, make it NPOV and polish the text a bit. Any help is welcome. (oops: forgot to sign before)--FeldBum (talk) 22:26, 7 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I think I did it. Everything is sourced and it seems pretty NPOV, outside of laudatory quotes from associates, books and articles, which all seem relevant enough to leave. Now to find a CC photo. --FeldBum (talk) 22:26, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
