Tag the talk pages of Gambling-related articles with the {{ WikiProject Gambling}} banner. The link to the Missouri gambling site is now out of date and needs to be updated. Japan section reads as though it was written by the gambling industry - quotes of 160% returns are 'citation needed'.

The lead reads: "Griffiths has recently encountered criticisms on his publication record, with scholars raising a number of concerns including the lack of data sharing/transparency ^[1] and self-plagiarism found across a number of his papers. ^[2]"

Two citations are added in support. One goes to an online comment (!) on a paper abstract. The other goes to a personal blogspot blog. Both of those fail WP:SPS: "Never use self-published sources as third-party sources about living people, even if the author is an expert, well-known professional researcher, or writer" - so I'm deleting the material accordingly.

Sorry, mixed up my MOS references. They fail WP:BLPSPS - which is even more emphatic: "Never use self-published sources—including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and social network posts—as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the article."
