Violates WP:PROMO and WP:FAKEARTICLE. The editor, who as far as I can tell is a non-notable artist - has been using Wikipedia articles to insert unsourced references to his works. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Too early in WP:DR to delete the mildly promotional userpage.  I think it is appropriate for the longstanding Wikipedia contributor he is.  Inserting unsourced references to his works is a very serious allegation to which the response should be advice, warnings, and wp:blocking, not deletion of his WP:COI declaration of a userpage.  WP:FAKEARTICLE is remedied by adding Userpage, which I did.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:34, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not an "allegation", I've removed more than a dozen uncited references to Boyer's work, many of them inserted via 172.xx IPs, and another editor removed one, all of them unsourced. (What appear to be sources in some of them are simply links to images of the pictures, not citations to reliable sources.), , , , , , , , , , , , , .

 * This has been going on for 13 years? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Problem_users/Daniel_C._Boyer&oldid=2203617 Blanked with "forgive and forget"? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:10, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Please note that the subject used a 172xx IP to insert his name (unsourced, of course), into List of Harvard University non-graduate alumni because he claims he attended summer school there (which is not the same as attending Harvard), another instance of using Wikipedia to promote himself.
