Talk:Stephen Skinner (author)

Some potential sources

 * Llewellyn author profile - Since they make money off him, it's still not independent
 * Feng Shui Today author - Run by the IFSA, so not completely independent
 * San Francisco Gate article - Independent of subject, would help establish WP:GNG.

The SF Gate article and the already cited Independent article would establish enough notability that I don't think the article can be deleted without going through a full WP:AFD. I'll try to add these sources later, if/when I overhaul this article. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:08, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Potential conflict of interest for a contributor to this article
The earliest draft of this article, which was by someone that had done nothing but write about Skinner included material that looked like it was copied and pasted from a resume (particularly the awkward "date-date - puffy praise of any given job" format). There were also a number of user-generated sources, including Livejournal, which were reviews for books, that smelled of WP:REFSPAM. Consequently, I have to ask to please edit other topics, as their actions give a very clear impression of either being Skinner or an associate of his. Per WP:COI, Rectaraspy is welcome to discuss or request edits on this talk page, but discouraged from editing it except in reverting gross vandalism (which has a very specific definition on this site, and does not include a lot of things).
