COI concern edit

There is a concern that there is a likely violation here of our guidelines against autobiographical editing, given User:Nexialist56's contributions to the biographical article and the fact that the subject's blog is entitled The Nexialist Blog. For this reason, I am placing a COI template tag on the article, to bring attention to any potentially self-promotional content or first-person sources being used to confer notability. - 2601:42:C100:81D8:7148:D70E:8A6D:27EF (talk) 20:48, 14 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Editor in question has been notified of this discussion. - 2601:42:C100:81D8:7148:D70E:8A6D:27EF (talk) 20:52, 14 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
