Autobiography

This article reads like a self-promotional autobiography. It should be toned down and made more encyclopaedic, or deleted. 119.224.100.246 (talk) 02:19, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Massive source issues

I've already had to remove a good three sources for being improperly sourced. Almost every source that is actually about this guy relies on interviews with him or are studies by him. The University of Victoria source is also questionable as it relies on his claims alone. Honestly, most of the sources on his involvement in drug production are questionable. This article needs to have its sources looked at more, I really don't think the sources are suitable, they barely count as secondary sources and the ones that do count are made by him. If his claims turn out to be unverifiable, I'd recommend deleting the article. Clubspike2 (talk) 09:39, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One of the sources you removed was dead but had an archive available. Another required a login to show the relevant content. Neither issue invalidates the source, so I have restored them with an archive and a subscription tag.-gadfium 18:35, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
