CV?

This article reads like Zaslav wrote it himself. Patthedog (talk) 08:39, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Removing Promotional Content and Removing Flag

The lack of edits and talk page discussion makes me assume many think the issue is not worth fixing per WP:CONSENSUS. Regardless, I went through and removed copy that may come off as promotional. Fullpop (talk) 13:46, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

still great swathes of it read like a CV or one of those potted biographies you see in aircraft mags. I've learned nothing about the man.

Press release material

I have removed a huge list of press announcements. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a press release wire site. -- Whpq (talk) 20:21, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Sources potentially wiped out by massive edit are below. A lot of these are legitimate and should remain. I'd suggest we go through them to figure out which ones are truly PR. I'll add a list of the previously removed sources below. 68.196.115.179 (talk) 23:36, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

• Just because there is a source does not mean that it is appropriate to include in the biography. The material removed was a just a list of announcements of this deal and that deal that Discovery made. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia article. What is there is a badly formatted resume. What would be expected is an overview of the major initiatives sourced to reliable sources rather than a list of deals. I request that you reinstate my edit. -- Whpq (talk) 00:42, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Saw this and figured I'd help out a bit -- I removed some blatant PR and found some other sources to support where needed and I'll continue looking for more supportive sourcing 75.183.5.99 (talk) 20:41, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Zaslav middle name

Is anyone know about David Zaslav's middle name, previously wrote as "David Michael Zaslav" and "David Milton Zaslav" but removed as it is incorrect. But we want a clarification, please?.–118.100.215.101 (talk) 08:47, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

@Chrome Boy, Rupturestriker, Vistadan, ViperSnake151, and MetaPlanet: Sorry for ping all of you like that, I would like to ask if you guys know about David Zaslav's middle name. Thank you. 118.100.215.101 (talk) 16:11, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

multiple sources when searching up "david zaslav middle name" have his full name as David M. Zaslav, while a source from rytez on his bio says David Milton Zaslav, although i think rytez may be an unreliable source. CB (talk) 16:21, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

I’ve always seen his full name as David M. Zaslav. Rupturestriker (talk) 18:32, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Add "Public Criticism for Discovery Merger" section

Whole paragraph is too long, and this would be good to split it up. 2600:1016:B027:6ED6:D920:823B:B484:31C0 (talk) 18:08, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Vandalism "and animation fool"

Even if he may deserve some criticism from his recent actions, this shows bias and is vandalism. 24.192.32.64 (talk) 00:36, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

An Earnest Warning

If anyone ever edits this article out of pure anger, I get it. You guys hate his guts, but a Wikipedia edit? Please don't. Otherwise you'll get blocked/banned. Scoophole2021 (talk). 04:19, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

P.S. I don't wanna deal with that troll anymore Scoophole2021 (talk). 04:21, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
