Proposed revisions to lead section

An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes.

I am employed by Boston University and have a COI with this page. One of the proposed edits below is to include information about the named chair he holds at Boston University School of Law, which should address the notability concerns. I would like to suggest the following changes:

1. In the lead section, after the second sentence, insert the following: Robertson is the N. Neal Pike Scholar in Health & Disability Law at Boston University School of Law.^[1]

2. In the next sentence, change "Robertson is" to "Robertson was previously Associate Dean of Research and Innovation...where he was also founder of its Regulatory Science Program.^[2]

3. In the second to last sentence of the lead, please add "conflicts of interest, informational limits, cognitive biases" after bioethics.^[3]^[4]

Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. But note that primary sources do not contribute towards establishing notability. See: WP:NACADEMIC. Melmann 12:00, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Melmann, there is no need for references of the quality to meet GNG. The relevant standard is not whether there are third party sources to meet GNG. The relevant standard is WP:PROF., and that is normally met by showing the person to be influential in their subject as demonstrated by citations to their work., or , as in this case , by holding a named chair. This can be shown by any reliable source, including. the person's own official CV. DGG ( talk ) 23:23, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
