Talk:Michael Coles (businessman)

Speedy deletion
I've removed the speedy deletion tag and moved it to article space. I have added many good sources; the subject is clearly notable. I think AfD is the proper venue for this article if deletion is desired.--- Possibly (talk) 07:03, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

COI tag
It looks like I mistakenly removed the earlier-placed COI tag. However, seeing as I have gone over the entire article, it does not seem necessary now. --- Possibly (talk) 07:06, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I've removed the tag again, all content has been checked. The COI tag is no longer appropriate. --- Possibly (talk) 08:10, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * @Possibly You will need to be by far more specific why you think that the COI Tag is not needed any longer. The original creator is a clear COI Editor, the Image is a self created work. CommanderWaterford (talk) 08:17, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I have dealt with many, many COI cases at COIN and elsewhere. The COI tag is for editors, to alert them to check the content of the article. I have done that carefully. The fact that you think (and I agree) that the The original creator is a clear COI Editor is not a reason to maintain the COI tag after the text has been checked and corrected by an experienced editor. Regarding the image, I am guessing the image will be gone soon as they do not have copyright clearance for it and subst-npd has been applied to it over at Commons. So to sum up, I agree this was probably paid or COI product, but it has been cleaned up, and the subject is clearly notable. The COI tag no longer serves any purpose related to the text. --- Possibly (talk) 08:25, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

The article creator has explained they are a student who saw Michael Coles speak at their high school. See this link. --- Possibly (talk) 01:57, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
