Originally I didn't know who exactly the "expert" was, much later I found out. Overall I support the removal, just maybe first others editors should pitch in with other opinions.

I don't think these sources should be eliminated, although they quote MJ Dangerous and his websites, there is other information that the authors of the articles write, that there is a huge discrepancy between the certified sales and the exaggerated sales figures that have been spread thanks to the Michael Jackson fan clubs. In the case of this Blogo site, sales are solely and exclusively estimative coming from MJ Dangerous and therefore should be disregarded.--

Since you have been conspiratorially bringing “Michael Jackson fan clubs” to the equation, perhaps you can check the older tweets by the authors of the WSJ and Newyorker? They are two known jaded Michael Jackson haters and they have expressed it multiple times through their tweets in the past. Wikipedia's reliability cannot be decided based on what you are saying, especially since the newyorker piece solely revolves around MJ Dangerous.

No. There are a number of people who incorrectly believe 80s releases only came out on Tuesdays. But those folks are mistaken—as documented again and again in contemporaneous news articles and music industry magazine advertisements.

Thriller 25
"With the arrival of Halloween that November, Thriller 25 spent an eleventh non-consecutive week atop the US catalog chart." Halloween occurs on October 31st.

The article is incorrect on one fact: “Thriller” only won 7 Grammy Awards, not 8. Michael won his 8th Grammy in 1984 for Best Children’s Recording for the “ET Storybook” album, which obviously is not connected to “Thriller”.

Not done:
By my count, it won:
Record of the Year
Album of the Year
Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male
Best Engineered Recording, non-classical
Producer of the Year (non-classical)
Best R & B Performance, Male
Best Rhythm & Blues Song
Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male
The production award didn't go to Jackson, (it went to
Bruce Swedien) but it DID go to the album.
