To editor Kuninrosmash: Per Wikipedia's Terms of Use, you are required to disclose any conflict of interest you have. The information you added (as well as the content Elearning201 and 147.188.67.193 added) is such promotional dreck that we can only assume this content either vainly comes from the subject, it was added by paid editors, or that it originates from clueless fanboys who made no effort to learn about Wikipedia. If you could explain your goals here, we might be able to help you understand the best way forward. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.)

"He has written extensively"Says who? The use of the world extensively is puffery if we don't have a third-party saying so. That version also makes claims about awards won, none of which seem to be notable, and with no citation to prove. That version cites his personal bio claiming that he eats bagels, as if to humanize the subject. Finally, that version contains external links to the subject's work in violation of WP:ELNO. I have found that most people aren't notable until they're dead, which is likely the case here. I'm afraid the article will have to stay as-is. Chris Troutman ( talk) 18:28, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
@ Justlettersandnumbers:As disclosed above, I have worked with Perloff as a technical associate on his books and articles. As you seem to be a unbiased editor on this article, I would request that you add the hostile media effect to the list of subjects on which Perloff has written. A verifiable link to his work on that subject is: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15205436.2015.1051234 Kuninrosmash ( talk) 18:05, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
