Per the note at the top of this page, and WP general BLP policy, material that was not adequately sourced and potentially contentious was removed immediately. A lot of that content was (in addition to being unsourced, self-sourced, or just poorly sourced) overly promotional, note you are linking to a last edit clearly performed by a PR company with the name "Comms" right there.

I would like to know my Conrad Tillard's education information was deleted?
I would like to know why the fact that he is a Christian minister is deleted. He has spent most of his life and his profession is a minister.
He had a life before the Nation of Islam, and a life after leaving the NOI. He has documented his transformation from his past. Which Wikipedia editors only want to document mostly old issues. Changes to Conrad Tillard's wikipedia article were made a few days before the August elections. Whereas, his opponents education is intact.
"His opponent" (AKA, the sitting State Senator - your non-NPOV bias is showing in your phrasing, by juxtaposing the two rather than discussing this article on its own merits) has always had his education unimpeachably well-cited since his Wikipedia article has existed. Tillard's education was completely uncited, ergo per BLP rules, was removed. This information can be easily obtained by reviewing the edit summaries that accompanied the removal of the material in question. Seems easier to do that than to start a Talk page discussion, let alone piggyback onto one that already answered the same material four months prior.

It looks like the Daily News, and the New York Post are the two New York papers that wrote the articles bringing up Conrad Tillard's past. These two newspapers are known to be biased towards African Americans. Adjoajo (talk) 20:49, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
None at all. BTW, I also write entire articles at times from scratch, and sometimes they make it to DYK -- this one won't get there, as the size increase is not sufficient. Thanks for recognizing the difference in the quality of the article. --2603:7000:2143:8500:3484:A520:5DBA:2ACC (talk) 06:34, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The current biographical article missed some important aspects of Rev. Tillard's tenure at U Penn. He was a columnist with the campus student-run newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian (DP). That was during his NOI days. As the President of the Black Student League (BSL) at the University, he courted a number of controversies, captured in fair detail in the DP archives (https://dparchives.library.upenn.edu/?a=q&hs=1&r=1&results=1&txf=txIN&txq=conrad+tillard&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- )
From a biographical accuracy standpoint, the article also omits details of his first marriage to Michele Y Griffith, a doctor whom he had dated at U Penn, was married to for several years and with whom he had multiple children. It also omits the painful circumstances under which he disengaged from the Nation of Islam (NOI). A mention of both of these facts can be found at https://www.villagevoice.com/escape-from-the-nation-of-islam/Pixie0427 (talk) 07:12, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
