This article reads as having a non-neutral tone, mostly listing Shachtman's accomplishments without any other substance, other points of view, or even leaving out necessary information that may be unflattering. This is most apparent in the coverage of James Gordon Meek, which he has recently come under fire for. A significant contributor to this article, User:Brooklynzoo2021, has only ever edited Shachtman's page over two years, aside from 1 other edit to the Rolling Stone article.

I came to the talk page to make the same comment that it appears Brooklynzoo2021 might be a little too closely related to, if not directly, Noah Shachtman and edits like this are concerning. I suspect a thorough cleansing of the article is needed to remove the flattery and puff pieces, and to re-instate some of the deleted "negative" commentary.
