Conflict of interest edit

Today I added a Conflict of Interest tag to the article about Halie Loren because when I looked at the View History the name Matthew Treder appeared. He did a lot of editing in October 2017. I recognized the name from the last time I edited this article. He's a member of her band and has helped produce her albums and therefore has a conflict of interest. The article was quite a bit different than the way I left it. There was a part in the lede, which I moved to the Awards section, which mentioned a music award that I had never heard of. The rest of the article is equally biased. There are many external links in the body text and plenty to clean up. The section headers are the names of her albums with positive quotes from reviews and not much else. This isn't encyclopedic content. It's selling, and it's forbidden on Wikipedia. Too bad, because she's a good singer. Her bandmate wrecked a good thing.

I need to add an important point. Paid editing is forbidden. But the Conflict of Interest rule "does not absolutely prohibit people with a connection to a subject from editing articles on that subject." So if you admit that you have conflict of interest, you can still edit that article "by discussing proposed article changes first, or by making uncontroversial edits."
