I added my thoughts as a comment on the pending article, but that's now gone.
The project mixes up two completely separate things into a single package: lazy resolution of services from the Microsoft DI container, and a JSON formatter for ASP.NET health checks. There is no way to use it for one of those purposes without also pulling in the other.
The health check formatter is almost identical to the one in the MS documentation[^]. Probably not quite enough to report it as "plagiarised", but certainly not enough to justify an entire tip dedicated to it.
The lazy injection code seems to be almost identical to some of the answers in this SO thread[^], with posts as far back as 2017. Again, it's difficult to cry "plagiarism" on such a small piece of code, but it certainly smells very off to me.

The article in the moderation queue disappeared a few minutes after my post above. To me that suggests intent.

I smelled plagiarism as well, but couldn't find anything concrete enough.

Unless you've found a source that he's copied from, "plagiarized" is the wrong option.
I've gone for "extremely poor quality", and not kicked the user (yet).

This suggests a long article or a website of content/course. It's a sale pitch. The article is none of that.
On top of that, his profile indicates english is not his native first language. He's also very new.
It smell very strongly of plagiarism.

Wisej.NET and ASP.NET: Two Sides of the Same Coin[^]
From: The product he links to has free versions - a "Trial" and a "Community", but they are both restricted to an extent - and the article reads like a "puff" for the product.
The author has been here a while, but he hasn't done anything since 2012 ... which looks suspicious.
Is it spam? I'm not sure. Your thoughts, people?

User link removed at the request of Sean.

We wouldn't have any hesitation in reporting a puff-piece for a "freemium" product as spam if it was posted by a new member.
And I'm not sure where you're seeing 2012 - his only other contribution to the site seems to be a "sponsor showcase" article from 2006.

If you look at his reputation graph he last logged in in 2012 - the "participation" line in cyan.

article was already gone as I came, but I am with Richard, so I gave my report to the user
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'd ask to spare the user for now, if you please. I'd like to try and get in contact with them.
Thanks,
