This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi, I'd like to suggest a few factual updates to this article, all of which are supported by either Blackstone's 2020 annual report or by the Blackstone website (per WP:ABOUTSELF). Pinging Sdrqaz and Fences and windows who were recently active here, in case either of you has a few minutes to spare to implement this.

1. Lead section: In the second sentence of the second paragaph, update to: As of 2020^[update], the company's total assets under management were approximately US$619 billion.^[1]
2. Infobox:
   • Key people: Remove Byron Wien, as he is the vice chairman of a specific division at Blackstone (Private Wealth Solutions), not of the company as a whole. (Source)
   • Revenue: Update to: US$6.102 billion (2020)^[1]
   • Operating income: Remove this parameter, it is not a metric we use/report. (And it doesn't make much sense to continue displaying the number from the old 2017 annual report.)
   • Net income: Update to: US$2.262 billion (2020)^[1]
   • AUM: Update to: US$619 billion (2020)^[1]. Also, remove the number for "real estate AUM" as this is just one component of the total AUM - reflecting just one of Blackstone's multiple business segments.
   • Total assets: Update to: US$26,269 billion (Q4 2020)^[1]
   • Subsidiaries: The companies listed here are not subsidiaries - they are a small selection of the many hundreds of companies in which Blackstone has invested over the years. In light of this, please remove the entire Subsidiaries parameter.
3. Leadership section: The source for the following updates is the "Our People" page on the Blackstone website:
   • Remove J. Tomilson Hill from both the Executives and Board of directors subsections, as he left Blackstone in 2018 and is no longer a board member.
   • Remove Bennett J. Goodman from the Board of directors subsection, as he is no longer a board member.
   • Add the following two names to the Board of directors subsection:
     • Reginald ("Reg") J. Brown: independent director
     • Joseph Baratta: member of the executive committee

The article suffers from quite a few things: there are buzzwords in the lead(4), the investments are an extremely long list (1b), cn tags / occasional use of unreliable sources, many one-sentence paragraphs. Will need significant work to remain a GA. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 13:23, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delist. Without even looking into the sources, it's disqualified by the fact that it's mostly proseline and excessive lists. And I don't enforce this because I've yet to see a community mandate to do so, but I personally consider a criticism section to be a layout and NPOV issue in most cases.
