Potential conflict of interest?

[edit]

I am concerned this page is being edited by someone with a conflict of interest. Many of the claims made on the page are either clearly false (claims that the subject "is an American physician-scientist" while under Education "He is currently an M.D. candidate" i.e. medical student), or are unable to be verified ("Shen-Sampas then founded Parnassus Partners, a venture capital focusing on biotechnology and medical technology with $150 million in AUM backed by the Lee Family in Singapore.[13] Shen-Sampas also serves on the advisory board of UCSF Innovation Ventures. [14]"). I have removed these but they have been re-included with non-supportive citations. For example, citation 14 links to a list of persons which does NOT include the subject of this Wikipedia article. Citation 13 also does not support the claim that the subject co-founded the VC firm as it is behind a paywall and unable to be read. I have removed these claims for now.

The COI is more than obvious. Samwillan2019 is a WP:SPA only editing articles connected with this person. It also appears they are using a few IPs in violation of policies against doing so. Toddst1 (talk) 13:16, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. This person is not notable enough for wikipedia anyway. The article should be deleted. Ashmoo (talk) 10:32, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am a completionist; yet even I agree this article fails to meet the criteria and ought to be deleted. Auranor (talk) 22:26, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
