Very promotional, badly needs editing
It is hard to believe this page has remained in this manner for this long. It badly needs review. Isingness (talk) 04:49, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

COI discussion
I am opening a discussion here regarding the recent attempts of a new SPA to re-add a promotional biography over this entry. It would be preferable to discuss any new attempts to add puffery here first, and provide information to any interested parties that may be confused about what can or cannot go onto Wikipedia.

 * In order to provide a base perspective on potential undisclosed COI here: There are details in the text that was attempted by a recent user that do not appear in the actual sources, adding flourishes or explanations that don't occur in the sources used. This is something that only someone with a COI is likely to do, as they have access to said details. The timing is also suspicious, as early May is when many professors hire their Research Assistants to do various busy work for them, or professors themselves have more time following finals. So the time of year, plus the added details that aren't in the sources, plus the user name "Pluralism123" which is thematic of the McGill Law program (where the page subject works), plus their arrival within months of the prior hagiography's removal, plus the lack of significant edits anywhere else for that account, in addition to the user's removal of COI notices from their talk page (and the attempted removal of their conversation with me regarding COI from my own talk page oddly enough)--this makes me very concerned that someone is trying to avoid the site's Terms of Use. It would be best if any COI were revealed here so that we can move forward properly. Isingness (talk) 15:49, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Another McGill University IP address has tried to remove the maintenance tags from the page without adjusting the page, about the same time as last year. Any help keeping an eye on the page would be appreciated. Isingness (talk) 05:32, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
