Conflict of interest from Day 1

Joel W. Martin article was created and tended to by accounts Joelwmartin and Jwmartian. Both accounts seem to be single-purpose in intention. - 2001:558:1400:10:B0B6:DB50:81:D4CC (talk) 16:03, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting observation. And even more so that Joelwmartin seems to have created the page but Jwmartian removed a significant portion of the article content. That also brings into the question of academic notability. In my opinion, this is a notable academic who is represented in the media and thus "known for" his contributions to science.
