Talk:Michael Milken/Archives/2020

Continued effort to add NPOV
My name is Larry Weisenberg and I represent Mike Milken. Yet again (how many times do we have to do this?), someone has edited the lead paragraph of this entry that to bring in a biased, negative POV; in addition it is redundant. The paragraph already states Mr. Milken's conviction following a guilty plea on felony charges. There is no reason to added that he's a convicted felon. I recommend returning to the version before August 27, 2018 version. Thank you.LarryWeisenberg (talk) 22:38, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I've removed the convicted felon (I think that was the consensus we reached long ago). If someone wants to restate the first couple of lines, they should seek consensus on this talk page first. --regentspark (comment) 22:43, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Is he a convicted felon? Then why is it POV to put it in the article? I'll be honest, I have a hard time taking serious the two above people in the pay of Michael Milken. Epachamo (talk) 01:46, 29 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Somebody please post a link to the discussion where this was once decided. Consensus can change. If it was long ago, or if the decision was a close one, it may be worth discussing it again. Larry, please save the links whenever this comes up. On the left column of this page you will see “permanent link”. Save it whenever one of these discussions concludes and before the text is archived. Jehochman Talk 03:16, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The relevant discussion is at Talk:Michael_Milken/Archives/2013. That archive page seems to have the most relevant discussions on what or what not to include in Milken's page. Apologies for the late response, Milken has only just resurfaced on my radar :) --regentspark (comment) 15:48, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

The popular understanding seems to have been that he pursued vegan or vegetarian diet when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and may have sought to optimize its anti-carcinogenic possibilities.MaynardClark (talk) 03:15, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
