To review the Nihonjoe case: the edits were found to be pretty unproblematic, the lack of candor troubling, and the use of full protection buttons the main lasting issue.

Is it a COI if a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia (T-H-L) edits the article for twelve years?

I noticed that too, but I also noticed he had an infobox on his userpage announcing himself a member, so I guess we could say that's some sort of minimal disclosure.

Primefac should be de-arbed. They did it to Beebs and this is clear abuse of position, unlike whatever esoteric thing they think Beebs did.

All this wiggling around is so silly to me. Common sense should prevail. The COI guideline says people with a close connection to a subject shouldn't edit articles about that subject. If someone fixes an address for a company, or makes some other mundane detail update, who cares? It's better they as...

Hopefully Nihonjoe sees the fallout of his COI editing and learns to avoid it in the future. Of course, it would have been better if he had just said "my bad" right off and promised to never do it again. Then the discussions could be closed and it would probably be fine. Instead his Saul Goodman act...

People, many of them, are actually opposing that Nihonjoe is formally admonished. Not even any kind of sanction, not having his tools removed, not getting blocked or anything. Just told by an Arb that he' shouldn't do that and to never do it again. Even that is too much for these lickspittles.

I hate when people weigh in on AfDs with comments indicating the article should be deleted but instead of saying DELETE they say COMMENT or something else. Serial fence sitters are a pain in the ass.

Looks like a pretty blatant autobiography to me, especially with the similarly-named SPA who tried creating the same article in 2015.

Even if it's an autobio on a non-notable, no need to deadname the autobiographer. It's still a BLP.
