I question the need for the tag, "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (June 2017)". Although Plbogen, who appears to be a nephew of Logasa, edited the article in the last decade, the article history shows his las edit to be in August 2007. I'd appreciate the opinions of other editors who may have additional information on COI issues in this article. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 21:40, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Up until a week ago, almost all of the content in the article was still written by that user, I don't see why a COI tag isn't appropriate. My AfD may not have been appropriate considering my lack of knowledge of librarian history but a COI tag is absolutely appropriate. - SantiLak(talk)23:41, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So, in order to remove the tag, would you require Plbogen to declare a COi here? Since it's been almost ten years since his last edit to this article, that seems odd to me. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:50, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In order to remove the tag, you should continue to do what you're doing now, finding verifiable material and improving the article from what it was prior. When I read it prior, it felt like it had a minor bias to me, something most likely unintentional by the original author due to the COI. They don't need to declare their COI as their identity has already been self declared (i.e. i'm not outing them) and we know it. To resolve the issue we simply need to clean up the article as you have been doing. They didn't follow COI guidelines originally so we just have to fix what needs to be fixed. - SantiLak(talk)01:40, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
