Contemplating nomination for AFD

This article is filled with self-promotion, and self published links. I don't believe it complies with WP:BLP and it seems that there are others who have brought upWP:PROVEIT and WP:NOR

I'd appreciate some thoughts from other editors who are not affiliated with the subject of the article.

This needs gutting

I wouldn't go as far as an AFD on this, but the lack of sources, coupled with the appearance of original research sure does make this article smell bad. I'm going to hunt about for some citations for some of the major points. Otherwise, and unless anyone else steps up to improve things, I'm going to gut this on grounds of WP:PROVEIT and WP:NOR --gilgongo (talk) 20:15, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to the article below, this page mostly seems to have been written by Michael Leidig himself (as "bylinebandit"). He mostly just seems to fabricate news. It should be gutted. http://beijingcream.com/2015/04/sorry-xinhua-youve-been-out-bull-bullshitted-by-cen/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.122.127.226 (talk) 03:58, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK removed most of the stuff I wasn't able to cite properly or at all. This article is still borderline AFD though, particularly if there's a sock puppet in evidence. --gilgongo (talk) 11:55, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

This entire article reeks of self-promotion. Every point levelled against Mr Leidig is, in my view, countered with examples that only detract his accusers... without addressing the substance of the accusation. It is also doubtful that this article even adheres to WP:BLP guidelines. --Booksworm ^Talk? 11:42, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removing NPOV template from article now as I think the issues have been discussed and addressed. Article history also now shows reasonable editor diversity --gilgongo (talk) 10:30, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
