The article should be looked at for editing for vast improvement and put into neutral editorial standard. It is now appearing as a puff PR bio piece of highlight information without specific citation in the body. It requires inserting proper citations that are properly tagged to specific pieces of information mentioned, (a list of various external links does not suffice as proper encyclopaedic citation within the body of the text.)

If you look in the edit history there are some edits by the user "DerekBlasberg" that were properly undone by another editor. Following this, a number of different IP's have tried to restore the very same material. This is a pretty obvious case of the article subject editing the article, so I tagged it as COI.SamanthaB55 (talk) 07:44, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This page has been edited by his assistant only with information backed up by external links, as there is no subjective information, the COI concern no longer seems relevant — Preceding unsigned comment added by DBassistant (talk • contribs) 20:17, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. The issue with this article seems resolved for now. But if you are the assistant, and are employed or paid compensation, you must declare this on your user page. See my message on your talk page for more information. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:14, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am in the process of updating the existing article. I'm about halfway through cleaning up the existing citations and content, and have stripped a lot of the fluffery, which I think addresses some of the COI / copyvio issues. I am not finished, and need a few days to do the rest of the clean up as well as adding further content and sources. But I think at this point the article doesn't need to flags. Please Assume Good Faith as I am in process on this. Thanks, - Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 14:40, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
