The irony is that the 11 citations to the plagiarized research article contributes to the notability of the authors, under our fundamentally flawed WP:PROF guidelines, which equates citations with notability instead of biographical coverage. Gigs ( talk) 15:36, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- as a rule, detected academic plagiarism at this level is rare and does greatly contribute to notability--if confirmed by the sort of unquestionably reliable sources necessary for negative BLP. Notability is not always positive. DGG ( talk ) 16:25, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Is anyone aware of any action by the Foundation to contact Amazon about this book scam? It seems to me that Amazon is making itself a party to this fraud (in the ethical sense, not the legal one) by selling these books.-- Chaser (away) - talk 03:49, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
