TaxProf Blog should not be used for BLPs

Per several discussions on the Reliable Sources Notice Board regarding the use of TaxProf Blog for BLPs, there is "consensus that the site is a SPS for tax law and accounting issues but not for specific claims about a living person." It should not be used to back up claims about a person, especially a living person. These will be removed, along with the associated content. Please use WP:RS only, not blogs or low-quality sources, and the guidelines at WP:BLP apply. Netherzone (talk) 18:24, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

I will replace the TaxProf Blog cites with other sources or else will remove the content. Thanks! JDtoBee (talk) 20:03, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, please read WP:RS for guidance on what constitutes a reliable source for the encyclopedia. Netherzone (talk) 20:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I see now that blogs are not acceptable sources. I was not previously aware of this. JDtoBee (talk) 21:04, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

COI

The article was written in a promotional, advertorial tone mainly by single purpose accounts WP:SPA, it may be an autobiography. WP:COI applies. Netherzone (talk) 18:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

I have asked Netherzone multiple times to provide any specifics on why they think a promotional advertorial tone is used. I believe the tone and style here is exactly the same as for other professor entries, like, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Saez#:~:text=Emmanuel%20Saez%20(born%20November%2026,and%20rich%20around%20the%20world.

I request again that Netherzone (or anyone else) explain or support this claim with any specifics. I believe Netherzone is being inappropriate and antagonistic in responses to me and I would like to request a moderator to intervene. JDtoBee (talk) 20:05, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

I further note that I did not create this article or most of the content, but I have been editing it and I am trying to learn how to edit better and would appreciate helpful and specific guidance. JDtoBee (talk) 20:06, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@Netherzone@JDtoBee Given the concerns expressed here, I have moved this back to draft (Draft:David Gamage) so the appropriate improvements can be made. S0091 (talk) 20:10, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

This is very discouraging. Could one of you please provide any specifics about what you think the issues are? JDtoBee (talk) 20:17, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@JDtoBee first you need to address the COI concerns raised. S0091 (talk) 20:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

I do not have any conflicts of interest, as I have now explained multiple times. I am a student in the field of tax law, but I am not connected to the professor in the article in any way, and being a student in the field is not a conflict of interest. I do not understand why I am being accused. I did not write or create the article and I do not know who did, I have only edited it. JDtoBee (talk) 20:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

See also User talk:JDtoBee#Managing a conflict of interest. @Netherzone I do not think this editor has a COI. Whether the creator, TaxLawProf, does is a different story but JDtoBee seems willing to address any issues. S0091 (talk) 20:39, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
