Predatory publisher
Please read this sentence and investigate its sources. Editors seem to be breaking their backs to connect the subject of this BLP to predatory publishing. "Silbermann is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Palliative Care & Medicine published by the OMICS Publishing Group, which has been described as a predatory publisher."

There are big problems with this sentence: How can such a thin trail of sources be used to make statements about a living person? 40.134.67.50 (talk) 22:12, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Science Magazine does not mention Michael Silbermann
 * Science Magazine does not even mention Journal of Palliative Care & Medicine
 * Although it is likely true we dont even have a source that states that Silbermann works for the Journal or that the Journal is published by OMICS.


 * There can't be an RfC on every minor disagreement at Wikipedia. If a talk page discussion is not to your satisfaction, try WP:BLPN or WP:NPOVN or WP:RSN. In particular, please have a look at the basis of Wikipedia: it is built by cooperative volunteers using open-source software all the way down to the metal. Is it likely that efforts to whitewash predatory publishing would be successful here? Johnuniq (talk) 23:11, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
