etc. Lovece seems to be a competent enough reviewer, but he and his employers have been given disproportionate prominence. What really needs doing is a systematic search for these, followed by replacement of the majority of them by material citing other sources. Unfortunately, it is likely to involve a lot of work, and needs to be done by people who know the topic area well.

I've removed the COI tag, as I think that's not an issue at the moment, given recent events, but have tagged for excessive use of selfpublished sources and sources connected to the subject. Far too much comes out of the personal website. It makes me wonder if this article meets notability standards.

I'd say that the case for McDonagh meeting Knowledge notability standards was better than that for Lovece. Honestly though, I think the biggest issue, as far as Knowledge content is concerned, is the way Lovece reviews have been shoehorned into a lot of high-visibility articles on Hollywood movies

I've been trying to update this page. I am not Frank Lovece, and have never met him. I have asked him about some facts with an attempt to improve this biography, and enhance its accuracy. Might be time for the warning tag to come down. cscrandall 16:56, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

I really do feel that when an article is a time suck like this it should be deleted. The McDonagh article is worse. I just read a book about an important figure in the history of New York City who has

If the Database shouldn't be cited at all here, which seems to be the consensus, it presumably shouldn't be cited elsewhere either. I see it is also being used to include Lovece in our
