Proposed merge of Draft:Suresh Canagarajah into Suresh Canagarajah

Draft is a more detailed BLP. Expand article by including draft information. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:36, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for the most part. That content has been removed repeatedly as unsourced or poorly sourced (to Canagarajah's own writings) and because the editor or editors who added it have a clear conflict of interest (an IP geolocating to Pennsylvania and User:PSU-ASC, the name of Canagarajah's program). I'm not seeing any attribution on Draft:Suresh Canagarajah, so it's a copyright violation as well—but maybe not a huge issue as User:Translingual2022 is likely a sock/meatpuppet of the original editor(s). That being said, I'm open to including some content, maybe significant publications or honors, as long as they can be cited to reliable, third-party sources.
