Twice now I've reverted @Socksage:'s recent addition of a paragraph relating to Olson-Kennedy's financial compensation. There's three issues with this content as I see it. The first is that it's sourced only to primary sources, a violation of WP:BLPPRIMARY, the second is that because of this it reads like original research and synthesis of the three sources in an improper way, and the third is that because of the lack of secondary sources discussing Olson-Kennedy's financial compensation it is giving undue weight to a non-noteworthy aspect of her biography.

In more detail:
The first citation is to a 2015 case report authored by several authors including Olson-Kennedy. In the disclosure section it states that during the authoring of the report, Olson-Kennedy had no relevant financial affiliations with any drug or medical device manufacturer, and that post submission she had attended a single meeting of the AbbVie Advisory Board describing the use of GnRHAs for trans youth, for which she was compensated.
The second citation is to a chapter of a 2012 book, describing the use of GnRHAs. While it does state that they are off-label for gender dysphoria, it makes no distinction between gender dysphoria in youth or adults and no mention of Olson-Kennedy.
The third citation is an information pamphlet published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on recognising incorrect off-label use of any medication. It makes no specific mention of GnRHAs, or Olson-Kennedy.
What we have here then are three primary sources; a case report from Olson-Kennedy that states a one time financial payment for consulting work, a book chapter describing the use of GnRHAs that makes no mention of Olson-Kenedy, and an information pamphlet that makes no mention of either GnRHAs or Olson-Kennedy. Because of the lack of connection between the three sources, this reads like original research and synthesis of unrelated sources. When looking at the criteria of WP:BLPREMOVE this content fails two of the four listed tests; this information is contentious, poorly sourced, and an original interpretation or synthesis of unrelated sources.
Accordingly, per WP:BLPREMOVE I have removed this paragraph. Not only does a consensus need to be reached here before it can be added, secondary sources need to be provided to address the OR and SYNTH issues. Sideswipe9th (talk) 23:32, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
