Noteworthiness

I have added links to several reviews of Marshall's books, and interviews with Marshall. Do these establish sufficient noteworthiness to justify removal of the template? J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 22:24, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

POV + COI

The article has a tone of self-authorship, or at least authorship by someone very close to the subject of the article. For example, the article explicitly stated Marshall's birth order, which is not explicitly stated in the cited obituary. The photograph in the article appears to be a selfie. If the article is in fact authored by someone very close to the subject, it would behoove them to declare their COI here, so the integrity of the article can be uncompromised.65.240.194.13 (talk) 20:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am the original author of the article, and am indeed a friend of the subject's. I expressly declared my conflict of interests in my request for peer review, as well as on the Tea House board, where I requested guidance from the community before posting the article.

I don't especially feel obliged to satisfy an anonymous critic on this issue, but for the record I worked very hard to avoid even the appearance of bias, and to exclude anything that could not be derived from published, and preferably on-line, sources. Marshall's birth order is indicated by the list of surviving children in the obituary of John F. Marshall, Sr., (a link to which is provided in the footnotes) assuming that list follows custom. J. D.
