All four users have removed the same criticism from the article Forrest Galante with the same reasoning:
 * "Deleted for non-neutral POV."
 * "that is not published in a credible source and does not use a neutral POV."
 * "I've also taken away some criticism that violates the objective tone wiki requests."
 * : "I updated to reflect a neutral POV and to remove non-neutral opinion and language."

 * How on earth has this not been actioned? My suspicion is some kind of coordination, though don't think it's sockpuppetry. Semi'd the article for three months.  GeneralNotability (talk) 01:15, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
