COI tag (December 2023)

Written by himself or by someone close to him. UtherSRG (talk) 12:36, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this opportunity to discuss on an issue we ourselves had some doubts from the beginning. When Prof. Herrera retired in October 2022, some people in his former lab thought that it was time to contribute a biographical piece to Wikipedia (against Herrera's own inclination). Since Prof. Herrera is neither professionally nor administratively linked to the people in his former lab anymore, the opinion prevailed that there was not current COI in writing and submitting this piece. We will greatly appreciate any advice at this regard. Thanks in advance ! Herreralab (talk) 10:49, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The subject appears notable under WP:PROF and probably WP:AUTHOR. I've removed some of the more frank promotion and trivia, however it will need a subject expert to comb through the claims that are sourced to external sources and verify them, and perhaps tone down some of the language appropriately. I note the article was properly published via Articles for creation; pinging @Aviram7: who accepted it, to enquire how thoroughly they checked that the sources support the claims.

Dear @Espresso Addict, Hi, I checked some sources before accepting and they seemed correct to me and I also checked the notability of the person and I accepted this article for Academia (people) accepted under WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF notability criteria, please forgive me if I made any mistakes. 😊~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 03:48, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding, Aviram7, there's no problem with notability, imo. Glad at least some of the sources check out. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:52, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
