NPOV dispute
editHello! As I explained here, I ran into this biography by mere chance, while I was looking for unrelated information, and after a quick read, I realized that the page had serious problems related to WP:NPOV criteria.
Although I'd like to thank @Lettherebedarklight, who has boldly taken care of the worst aspects, the article still remains pretty one-sided, and several of the cited links look suspicious, with France 24 being the only reliable source I've recognized. Obviously, Lesotho isn't necessarily a high-profile country in comparison to others, but still, given Matekane's status, I'm a bit surprised that these issues went almost unnoticed until now...
Also, was it just a problem of trolling and general mistakes, or should we be afraid of paid editing attempts? Given the recent OceanGate case, I wouldn't completely exclude it.
Anyway, since I don't have any previous experience with WP:NPOVD, every other kind of advice and help would be greatly appreciated!
