"Dennis" Lazar is famous for his conspiracy theories only. That he happens to have a smalltime scientific supplies business is incidental.
If his business is somehow noteworthy, then his crimes are also noteworthy. I'd argue the crimes are noteworthy in any case, since the article establishes that they have shaped public perception of Lazar and have thrown doubt on the very claims that made him famous in the first place. Gene Stanley1 ( talk) 23:51, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
But how true is this really? Writers of course comment on it to indict his credibility, but it seems that more than anything what animates his image in the public eye is the boldness of his claims, and the unverifiable nature of his educational and employment history. The pandering conviction is quite old and is a crime that people care less and less about every year, and the hazmat violations are just heavy handed bureaucratic garbage that is knowingly and unknowingly violated on a daily basis by legitimate individuals. — THORNFIELD HALL ( Talk) 08:37, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Its quite clear what the man talked about is true and what is happening in the sky and it is out there 105.235.246.101 ( talk) 10:46, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Its quite clear what the man talked about is true, then please present them here. There's no rush. JoJo Anthrax ( talk) 15:34, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Change "Elements of Bob's employment history have been exaggerated or fabricated" to "elements of Bob's employment history have been erased by officials from S-4 and the government" 2605:59C8:410:6710:7627:5764:4A1A:1E1D ( talk) 15:54, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
References
The first reference used on this page does not meet Wikipedia’s standards for reliable sources. Ken Layne’s article is opinionated, unserious, and speculative, lacking the objectivity required for a neutral citation….
Secondly, the description of Bob Lazar as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ is biased and does not accurately reflect his role within the UFO community. A more appropriate and neutral term would be ‘controversial figure in UFOlogy.’
Next, there is a repetitive pattern in the page editor’s comments suggesting an openness to any ‘reliable source’, which contrasts starkly with the current use of sources that themselves are not unbiased.
This inconsistency undermines the credibility of the article. 104.153.228.17 ( talk) 01:37, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
