Conflict of interest tag

I have added a conflict of interest tag. The author was originally named Matthewchristopher and renamed to Flubbadubba1956. The have stated they are not Matthew Christopher but they obviously have a conflict of interest. They uploaded MC picture.png and Sophia by Matthew Christopher.jpg claiming to be the author and copyright holder of both images. They are the only significant author and this need to be seriously evaluated for neutrality. GB fan 23:13, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the copyvio images and most of the unsourced content. I also removed the tag as with the offending content removed it seems to be resolved. Naturally, feel free to restore if you think it is still needed. VQuakr (talk) 04:25, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

I see some wedding announcements in major publications, including Out [1] and The New York Times [2]. The NYT article includes a bit of a bio. The Ames Tribune has a bio as well. Then, of course, there are about a million websites selling his dresses (none of which, naturally, meet our requirements for sourcing. Overall, I think the article would likely survive a deletion discussion, but not by a wide margin. I am not inclined to nominate it at this time. GB fan, what are your thoughts?

COI tag, again

Just like above, we have a user named Matthewchristopher who is renamed, this time to Vermontmountainboy. Again, an image with questionable copyright has been uploaded to commons: File:Head shot of US couture designer Matthew Christopher IMG 7443 2 MB.JPG. I've flagged that image for speedy deletion, as it appears to have been taken from a NY Post article which attributes it to photographer Rafael Astorga with no indication of a compatible license. This, combined with the use of some very flimsy sources suggests that this should be resolved before the tag is removed, but that shouldn't be too hard.

I've cleaned up the article to where I no longer see any COI or major sourcing problems, so I've removed the templates. The image copyright issues will have to be resolved for it to be restored, however. Grayfell (talk) 02:34, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
