Self promotion and bias[edit]

This article is comical. The amount of unnecessary statements, weak sources, and qualifications included in this article make it laughably poor. It is in major need of a rewrite, or possibly even deletion as I fail to see the necessity of having an article dedicated to the CV of an oncologist. Wikipedia is not LinkedIn, nor a monument to every single person's life's achievements, it is an encyclopedia. Mr anonymous username (talk) 20:47, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are certainly a whole bunch of issues going on with this article that need addressing.

  1. Lots of MOS:PEACOCK (I've cut some of the worst offenders)
  2. Edits by what appears to be subject of the article, Justinstebbing (talk · contribs) (I've informed of the COI policies)
  3. Edits by an unusually large number of Wikipedia:Single-purpose accounts, with oddly similar allcaps usernames, which at a glance raise warning signs of possible COIs:
  4. Regular edits to remove unflattering material, e.g.:
    • Gradual erosion and removal of GMC suspension section: [1] [2] [3] (I've reverted this, since it appears to be an important and well-referenced part of a BLP)
    • Removal of mention of a retraction [4]

I will need to find some time to check through the edits made by the SPAs properly, but from a first glance they are full of warning signs that they could be a combination of untrustworthy and unencyclopedic -- it may be that they just need rolling back in full.
