Dear Colleagues,

My AfC was flagged with a template suggesting a possible COI. I have no professional, financial or personal linkage to this person -- he's participated in talks that I've attended and organized, and I -- like many others -- have seen him from afar on national TV hundreds of time during the pandemic. He's a visible person on primetime news almost every day -- its unfortunate wikipedia has yet to dedicate an article to him and Im trying to help fill the void. Hoping you'll help me finally get this over the top. Warmly,

Caroline — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caroline grossman23 (talk • contribs) 02:14, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That your group that you organized brought him in as a guest speaker suggests an apparent association, so I suggest any further edits you do should be done using edit requests, now that the article is in mainspace. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 20:25, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is the 23 for? Another recent account also using the same formatting and suffix but another name suggests that these accounts work for the same company or belong to the same person, using fake names. —PaleoNeonate – 23:30, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The new editor also added back the Seattle magazine blurb and seems to be rewriting some parts to be more promotional. Unlike Caroline's, who maps to an actual person's name associated with an organization who posted press material for Gupta, the newer name doesn't map to someone directly involved yet from a search.PaleoNeonate, if you can scrub if for neutrality, or tag UDP again. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 00:01, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

PaleoNeonate, see COI response on my talk page. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 00:20, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay, I just did and posted a question at the "Caroline" account's talk page. So far the current state of the article is better than it was and I will not personally restore the COI tag at current time. —PaleoNeonate – 01:35, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the SV 2021 photo by Jovelle Tamayo was deleted from Commons, and that there was a copyrighted version of it that was published with the Stat (website) magazine article. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 02:30, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Novem Linguae, Nomadicghumakkad, David notMD, and Hatchens: Pinging previous page contributors. FYI, I've moved the draft into main space but feel free to edit further. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moved stuff, cut non-notable award and removed COI tag. David notMD (talk) 20:00, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

David notMD, I've listed you above as having checked the article for neutrality. Hope that's OK. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 20:23, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

More recent apparent COI editing happened since by another SPA ending with 23, auditing welcome, —PaleoNeonate – 23:20, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In agreement with

Its time to initiate sock puppet investigation against the IDs which have been detected by PaleoNeonate. -Hatchens (talk) 00:44, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hatchens Colleagues, I'd be glad to assent to any type of inquiry -- Ive been working at this AfC for months now as someone that sees this individual on primetime TV constantly for the past 2+ years...felt it was a disservice to viewers that we didn't know more about him, hence my efforts to rectify that. I dont work for any company or get paid...I did this given the times that we live in. As you can see from his social presence (https://twitter.com/VinGuptaMD?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor), a lot of us are close followers of his COVID-19 advice. Anyhow, as always, if there's something I/we can do better to ensure neutrality, I will always strive to make this article better. Thank you again for all of your help. - CG— Preceding unsigned comment added by Caroline grossman23 (talk • contribs) 01:23, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
