Sources

The claims and sources in this biography do not line up.

Insufficient sourcing for claims of CEO.

This will need to be addressed. Augmented Seventh (talk) 19:18, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Section about defrauding allegations etc.

I added it in here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Palance&oldid=1292187645

The subject of the article has been reverting my changes.

Any thoughts on how this could be refined? I personally don't think it's libel, however. If anyone can find another source perhaps that would help.

We have very strict rules about accusations on WP:BLP or Biographies of Living People. I was going to revert the removals but I think the sources have to be better to include charges like that. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:49, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just reviewed the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Palance and saw this source on a scam LA Times. It's a pretty well-regarded newspaper especially on the entertainment business. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:54, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is one of the references being used at the moment. 2601:647:6880:8F3B:C5C1:5251:B953:462A (talk) 06:13, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. When I arrived at the article and read the lead, I thought "those topics could be in a more logical order". So I was pleased to find that was the subject of the request. Maproom (talk) 07:11, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In 2018, he shifted his focus to running a streaming service focused on family, faith and educational based programming called Premiere. Avengers2025 (talk) 20:19, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Since the information regarding what happened in 2018 is not present in the article, we need a reliable source for that information to include it. This is generally required regardless, but Wikipedia is much stricter on this for articles on people who are still alive. —Sirdog (talk) 23:04, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a BLP, if you want to include accusations of misconduct you have to have multiple, solid references to do so. It seems like your primary goal on Wikipedia is to air your grievances over this person and you're going to keep submitting edit requests until this happens. Please take note, GalStar. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:56, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz, I must agree with you. It seems like the primary goal of @GalStaris to air grievances instead of creating an encyclopedia. Avengers2025 (talk) 03:15, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sir Sputnik take a look at @Lizthoughts above regarding the actions of @GalStar Avengers2025 (talk) 03:31, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
