domainvia requests :- The subject named in the page, is a multi-instrumentalist [by definition.]
Furthermore, the Grammy-reference concerning the individuals brother [is fact].
Enlighten me as to how these facts are "fluff"?
I await your response.
Additional issues (added by other parties)
This is not an issue for mediation, other than further disciplinary action against {{user|Domainvia}}, a COI account who was already blocked for several days for a history of promotional edits: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=827074744]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=827191088]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=827391336]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danny_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861462316]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861462481]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861471466]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861475085]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861757846]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861762779]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861791138]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861792272]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861800661]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=861802570]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danny_Sembello&diff=861462316&oldid=798680766]. Returned from block for more of same [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=863427036]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Sembello&diff=prev&oldid=863479304]. Good example of willful ignorance of NPOV policies by a conflicted account, and no indication that they're here for any purpose other than what we've seen already. An indefinite block may be warranted. 2601:188:180:1481:5D63:2B25:812D:39A4 (talk) 20:50, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend that this be closed as frivolous. The OP has a track record of promotional editing on the article in question for which I have previously found it necessary to block them. I have placed the editor on notice that further disruptive editing is likely to result in unpleasantness. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:24, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Primary issues (added by the filing party)
Biased editors are blanket deleting a new, well-researched introduction to a controversial subject and replacing it with an inaccurate, politically charged accusation which the new introduction, drafted from WP:NPOV, contradicts, and refusing to engage substantively with the Talk page discussion on the subject. The other editors mischaracterize attempts to promote WP:NPOV as a "false balance." Consensus in this setting will be impossible and a disinterested mediator should intervene.

Decline - the request is so hopeless between personal attacks and the obvious entrenchment of the editor that this simply is a waste of everyone's time. Ravensfire (talk) 23:33, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question.@Ravensfire: I cannot see where you have substantively contributed to the talk page discussion. If mediation does not proceed, what discussion or consensus-building activity do you intend to take up? Will you continue reverting changes to the article? AGK ■ 21:24, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
