:By the way, they are not [[WP:AGF|intended]] to be scare quotes, just regular quotes indicating that that is his verbatim job title. Otherwise I think the inclusion of such a specific bit of corporatese as "unscripted originals" in the text would not fit with Wikipedia's usual encyclopaedic tone.

::We don't outright ''say'', but we ''pretty strongly imply'': in a section titled "Production and release," we have the sentence "Hancock's son Sean Hancock is "senior manager of unscripted originals" at Netflix." Therefore, I think a naive reader of reasonable intelligence, who didn't read any other sources, would reasonably assume this to mean Sean Hancock was involved somehow in either the production or release. Otherwise, why would this statement be in this section about production? The last Guardian article above also identifies Graham Hancock as a previous journalist for the Economist and writer on international aid before mentioning Sean's job, should these facts also be in "Production and release"? (this is rhetorical, the answer is no). And I disagree with your assertion about "many reliable sources": most sources finding it "fit to mention" are engaging in speculation. That said, I don't necessarily object to Sean Hancock's employer being mentioned ''anywhere'' on the page, but we should clearly differentiate causal relationships from opinionated speculation (per [[WP:RSOPINION]]) [[User:Animalparty|&#45;-Animalparty!]] ([[User talk:Animalparty|talk]]) 01:44, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
