  • Removed Glenn Beck, Television and radio host, conservative political commentator due to lack of sources and evidence - he disclosed "M.E." in a Facebook post sharing an article by Brian Vastag, then he later deleted. ~Njt (talk) 02:39, December 7, 2021 (UTC)
  • Removed Rachel Jordan Artist British - no sources, no longer on Wikipedia ~Njt (talk) 22:43, December 8, 2021 (UTC)
  • Removed Frank Carrone (Francesco Carrone) - can't verify and CFS info was unsourced and added to Wikipedia in 2007. WP uses both Carrone and Cerrone as spellings. Wikipedia sources have no page numbers. ~Njt (talk) 20:41, December 16, 2021 (UTC)
