Talk:Sam Carling

Controversy
I think we need to have a discussion of if the allegations made against Carling relating to (elided) should be added to his page. They've been removed and added several times so we should reach a concensus. Muddyviolet (talk) 22:26, 7 July 2024 (UTC)


 * They have been removed several times as no reliable source has picked up on these claims. If there is coverage of this in reliable sources, then it can be added. GnocchiFan (talk) 22:30, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Just noting that I have elided part of the above comment per WP:BLP.-- Laun chba ller 22:45, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, but coverage of them will just link back to the original source deemed unreliable, so would that not stil be unreliable? Muddyviolet (talk) 22:54, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I understand your point, but as of yet I've not seen any mention in non-primary sources, so (with the greatest respect) the question is rather irrelevant until there is any secondary coverage of the allegations. GnocchiFan (talk) 10:52, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Unverified claim of Salters sponsorship
In "Early life and education", the article that Sam Carling received a sponsorship from Salters to attend Cambridge. The citation attached to Salters is a link to their members portal, for some reason. The overall citation about attending Cambridge with sponsorship from Salters just a link to an article describing Carling as a Cambridge postgrad, with no mention of Salters.

The same claim is made on the Salters article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worshipful_Company_of_Salters#Salters'_Institute) where again the citation is simply a link to a city councillor profile of Carling with no evidence of Salters sponsorship.

As this article is semi-protected I cannot fix these citation issues myself. PositiveCharacteristic (talk) 15:01, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I can, and have from both articles.-- Laun chba ller 15:12, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Biomedical Scientist please remove from main article,
Biomedical scientist is a protected title in the UK. Sam Carling is not on the HCPC register as of 12/07/2024 17:50 https://www.hcpc-uk.org/check-the-register/register-results/ so this job title should not be attributed to him 146.200.209.218 (talk) 16:53, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Seems a fair enough cop. Removed.-- Laun chba ller 17:01, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
