• George P. Smith II (history · last edit · rewrite) I came across this article while editing one with similar name, tagged it for puffery and later found that it has copyright violations issue. It was created since 2011 and edited some 80+ times with most edits by the author and one IP. This edit one of the earliest, was added with strange formatting which shows direct lifting from source of a website. CV report with the oldid confirms that. Report of the latestv revision before my edit is here as well as this. So it has a lot of copyright violations in scattered edits and intermediate non violation ones, I am not sure whether this can be remedied by Revision deletion or by blowing it up all together. The author is no longer here with us, so it's just the article.–Ammarpad (talk) 13:18, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
