A patent that isn't discussed in any reliable secondary source[edit]

Toes405 is continually adding a line about an insignificant patent granted to someone named Jim Mizell. As there is no mention of Jim Mizell and this patent in any secondary source that I can find, I can only assume that Toes405 is either someone who know Mizell personally or is Mizell himself. The sole citation provided is a link to the US Patent Office. I see no reason to include this sentence in the article. Wes sideman (talk) 12:22, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've made attempts to discuss my concerns about this at Toes405's talk page, to no avail. Wes sideman (talk) 12:24, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Declined 3O request 74.73.224.126 (talk) 20:28, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About the Third Opinion request: The request made at Third Opinion has been removed (i.e. declined). Like all other moderated content dispute resolution venues at Wikipedia, Third Opinion requires thorough talk page discussion before seeking assistance. If an editor will not discuss, consider the recommendations which are made here. — TransporterMan (TALK) 18:26, 29 March 2023 (UTC) This is an informational posting only and I am not watching this page; contact me on my user talk page if you wish to communicate with me about this.[reply]

Looking this over I'm inclined to agree that at the very least some coverage in WP:SECONDARY sources would be needed to establish due weight. We'd probably still need to assess the sources for the topic as a whole even then to decide if or how much mention is DUE, but since this fails at the first hurdle there's no need to go there yet. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 20:27, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
