Lack of verification by citation and Wikipedia:Libel[edit]

In regards to the claim made against Stroman, the Bleeding Cool citation states in full:

"Bleeding Cool has a reputation for highlighting injustices in the comics industry, whether that be creators not providing paid-for work, or publishers not paying for provided work. Often they never make it to the website though, as once someone in question is contacted by Bleeding Cool, suddenly the creator finds that they have been paid or a purchaser suddenly received the commissioned work.

Just this week, a creator informs us that after months of receiving no response from a publisher regarding a 2012 debt, one e-mail from Bleeding Cool suddenly got them talking again.

Another buyer was reunited with a creator who told me that he simply didn’t have the buyer’s street address to send the piece and he suspected his email replies were ending up in a spam folder. Either way, it looks like the buyer will now be getting his commissioned piece from last year."

There is no specific mention of Stroman (or any other person) in the article. In addition, a single article would be giving undue weight to the claim of one named individual and unnamed "other visitors to Comic Art Fans". Would we post *everyone's* consumer complaints on Wikipedia? That takes one to WP:NOTFORUM.
