I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 ( talk) 13:56, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
Hello! My name is My name is Melissa Drozdowski, and I work for Interprose, Inc. (please see my previously declared COI on my User page). Our firm represents a number of high-tech clients in a variety of markets, such as mobile and telecoms. We have been asked by Dr. Brownell to help bring this article up to Wikipedia's standards, including improving its content so that it strictly meets NPOV and citation guidelines.
While we would prefer not to edit this page directly ourselves except as needed to correct and/or update existing information, we would like to aid the Wikipedia editing community by serving as a resource. We are more than happy to provide as much factual, non-advertorial information as possible. We are also willing to provide numerous third-party citations and references as needed, and can suggest outbound links that may be appropriate.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you very much!

Kelly David Brownell should be merged into Kelly D. Brownell, as both are about the same subject, but the latter is the older article. Vycl1994 ( talk) 07:06, 17 May 2018 (UTC) I now see that the created of Kelly David Brownell, mdrozdowski, has contributed to this article and has declared her conflict of interest on this talk page. I don't know much about Brownell's field, and so may not be much help in a WP:Merge. Vycl1994 ( talk) 06:25, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
I tagged this article with COI/NPOV because it reads more like a hagiography than a biography and it is being 'managed' at the behest of the article subject.
To start with I removed a large section of what was essentially name dropping of journals to no biographical/encyclopedic purpose. I do not have the time or current inclination to continue to work my way through the other issues, particularly as the subject is paying someone to do so. Jbh Talk 21:10, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
The article from The Atlantic does mention Dr. Brownell's articles and books; the number of his published works is now 15 books, 350+ articles. The Atlantic's article ( https://www.theatlantic.com/author/kelly-brownell) calls out 14 and 300, which at the time, was correct (hit the "MORE+" link to see the full text that appears below):
"He has published 14 books and more than 300 scientific articles and chapters. One book received the Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Book from the American Library Association, and his paper on "Understanding and Preventing Relapse," published in the American Psychologist, was listed as one of the most frequently cited papers in psychology."
I am resolving the cited number now until I can find another reference that shows the 15 books / 350 article number.
