Since then I believe I have gone through every single source and deleting a whole lot of content that is unverifiable, non-noteworthy, or non-neutral and that had the combined effect of inflating Masisak's importance beyond what was warranted by the independent reliable sources.

I was asked to take a look and review this. On first review, the tone seems a little much like a PR piece, but the information seems to be well sourced to reliable sources which are referenced appropriately. Could use continuing work but seems good.

is fine but I don't think you have to complete hide everything to make it a decent, reasonably balanced article which doesn't read as a promotion. You have retained the vital information though, that's what matters most. ♦
