The bulk of this article reads like an ], especially the Career section. Indeed, many of the edits were made by ] and the article was created by ] whose contributions are mainly the Toure article. Many of the references are primary sources, including all the links to articles written by the subject used to cite a comment that the subject has written articles. Here is how I would reboot the Career section using independent, reliable sources: |

On March 29, 2012, Touré criticized ]'s interview of Robert Zimmerman regarding his brother George's ] on Morgan's ] talk show, '']'', stating that Morgan failed to ask Zimmerman challenging questions, and provided a platform for mendacity on Zimmerman's part. Appearing on next day's episode of ''Piers Morgan Tonight'' the two continued their hostilities, with Morgan calling into question Touré's journalistic professionalism and Touré arguing that because Morgan was not originally from the United States and had only been working in the U.S. for a decade or so, he was incapable of "understanding America".

I agree the career section is a bit wordy and could be cleaned up, but I find your suggested "Career" section a bit too thin. But otherwise, it reads better. ] (]) 18:23, 30 March 2013 (UTC) |

:Feel free to edit what I've put above. I just got rid of everything that didn't have a third-party reliable source. Perhaps there are more sources out there now we could add. Also, the Piers Morgan paragraph could probably be paired down to prevent undue weight. ] (]) 20:25, 30 March 2013 (UTC) |
