A close associate of the biographical subject has had a big hand in writing this article
[edit]A close associate of the biographical subject has had a big hand in writing this article, apparently using sock puppet accounts. The article is a promotional showcase for an attorney, with most links leading back to law firm (he’s worked at) websites or articles by him. He’s done some interviews, which is fairly typical for attorneys, but that doesn’t meet the notability standards for biographies.
A few of the IP addresses actually trace back to the location of law firms where he’s been employed.
News&history, who initiated and significantly contributed to this article, edited multiple pages related to close associates of the biographical subject at the SEC. This included editing those pages on dates when they attended meetings together. News&History also seems to have used various sock IP addresses (linked to his office address) and is (along with the IPs) almost certainly a close associate (Bradley Bondi) of the biographical subject.
The sockpuppets that created this page can also be linked to the biographical subject's close associate and co-workers page Stephanie Avakian, which was created on the same day and is part of the COI / Sockppupet problem.
The page for Bradley Bondi, another associate of the biographical subject, was also created on the same day using the same sockpuppet accounts. It appears Bondi, Avakian and Peikon all met on the same day their WP pages were created by the same sock accounts. There could be more pages, a sockpuppet investigation is problem necessary. 99.196.128.2 (talk) 16:46, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
