The Times from the 70s as a Source?

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article has two rather strange sources as evidence for the following two sentences:

Parker attended Queen Elizabeth's Hospital, Bristol ^[1] and in 1978 graduated with a Class II degree in Natural Sciences from University of Oxford.^[2]

— Wiki article of this Talk page

Both are Times papers from the 70s. In theory verifiable, but in practice not really. No run-of-the-mill Wiki editor would dig so deep to verify the school of a low-importance Wiki bio. Is the author of at least part of this article the subject of the article violating WP:COIEDIT? Micronor (talk) 14:36, 26 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
