Add in the introduction that in the past few years, Disney has become a far-left and racist company, especially being racist against white people, wishes to defund the police, no longer believes in treating everyone equally but by skin color, and now mandates that people be hired based on "diversity and inclusion" rather than merit.[1] Maledoes (talk) 18:44, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. An interview of a single person making unsubstantiated assertions is not a WP:RS. Aoi (青い) (talk) 19:18, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Products and services in the info box

Can someone more knowledgeable about corporate articles take a look at the products and services section of the info box and evaluate whether "licensing" belongs in the services section. In common use, one would normally expect that the licensing of IP would be a product (i.e. the license itself), but I'm not sure how Wikipedia has been treating this. Services, by comparison, are usually intangible items. Examples include banking, accounting, transportation, insurance, etc. Even "expertise" can be a service. I don't think the licensing of a company's own IP would be a service. (Now if we had a source that indicates that the company was providing licensing services for other IP owners, that might be different. But nothing in the article as it exists right now supports that.) Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 06:32, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
