File permission problem with File:James Jazzy Jordan.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:James Jazzy Jordan.jpg, which you've sourced to Fadil Berisha Studios. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NtheP (talk) 21:57, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Imaging instructions

To use a picture on Wikipedia, we need permission from whoever owns it.

• If it is your OWN picture - then you can just upload it yourself, at "Commons", saying "It is entirely my own work" - at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upload .
• If it is NOT YOURS, then the owner can give permission in two ways;

A) They could put it on a website (flickr, or their own site) with an appropriate licence, such as "Public Domain" or "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike" (that is an option in flickr)

B) They could email us permission. You could ask them to do that, by sending them an email saying something like:

"Hi, I've written a page on Wikipedia, and I'd really like to add a picture - but as Wikipedia is FREE, we can only use freely-licenced pictures. If you have any which you can give permission for, please send me an email back with the text below, and the picture(s) attached."

-Then add a copy of this: http://enwp.org/user:chzz/help/myboilerplate (having filled the form out)

-And send the email (attached picture file + completed form) to: permissions-commons@wikimedia.org

If any of your questions about how to insert images into an article aren't answered in these instructions, please refer to Help:Files and to Help:Contents/Images and media for a master-listing of all pertinent image-use links.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:James Jazzy Jordan.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:James Jazzy Jordan.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Nomination of James Jordan (music executive) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article James Jordan (music executive) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Jordan (music executive) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Jsharpminor (talk) 06:19, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Response to personal email

I'm glad to offer information, but I'd prefer to keep such exchanges on-wiki for fullest transparency. A deletion discussion usually is set to run for seven full 24-hour periods. If an article is listed for deletion at 6:19 (UTC) on 12 Aug 2011, then usually sometime after 6:20 on 19 August, one could expect to find a closer closing the discussion as keep, delete, or some other outcome. A closer is often an administrator on the pedia; as it turns out I'm merely an editor in good standing. Some closing duties (like page deletion) can only be performed by an admin.

When I looked at the discussion, I saw what I felt was inadequate participation in the discussion to gauge the community's consensus (which is different from a majority; read the link), so I relisted the article for more discussion. This may go either way, and that's why I relisted. A relisting can run as much as another seven days, but if consensus become clear during that time, it could be closed at any time during the period.

An involved party like the pagesubject would be in a conflict of interest when participating in deletion discussion or in pagespace improvement. Please read the COI link as well. Nobody would say the subject doesn't have a legitimate interest in their Wikipedia page. Wikipedians would say, on the other hand, we can't overvalue the opinion of the subject when determining content or notability. Our primary concern would be WP:VERIFIABILITY so we're sure we're getting things straight, IMHO.

If an involved party could make a useful contribution, it would be in the arena of helping editors find sources for page assertions which are WP:RELIABLE and WP:INDEPENDENT of the subject. If you knew, for example, that Vibe Magazine or Billboard had published an article on the subject, or if you knew the subject won a Grammy award for a category, links to such sources inserted in a section on the talk page would help us to sort out whether the subject meets WP:GNG (the basic test) and WP:CREATIVE (a secondary test).

If I can be of any further help, please feel free to respond here. I'll watch the space for your responses. BusterD (talk) 17:41, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks for you response... so if I understand correctly... I really can't participate in the discussion process because I'm basically an conflict of interest since it is the article that I've written. Billboard magazines speaks greatly about the subject, his promotions, his direction of artist, etc... however, I would have to become a subscribe to Billboard magazine to pull the official article from Billboard although, you can google it and see the article exists and read some of it as well. Clearly, if you google the subject... you can see that he has major notability. Now... if no one discusses the article futher more... what happens then and how long does it have to stay up... - Hansomd 21:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

If you're only the page creator, then you certainly can engage in the deletion discussion and the pagespace. As page creator you'd be expected to fight for your own logic in creating the page plus the work you've invested. If you have a closer connection to the subject, like an employee, a friend or a relative, you'd generally be better off not participating. However, under those circumstances if you added links and sources in a section on page talk, those could be applied to the page and be discussed. If no other editors participate in the current discussion, it would likely get relisted again for more discussion. (Two relistings is generally the maximum, but exceptions occur.) Once a sufficient amount of discussion is observed, a closer looks at the entire discussion, plus the page itself and the applied sources, and writes a judgement of the outcome of the discussion, called the closing statement. The closing statement indicates the reasons the closer closed the discussion as was done. If the discussion were to close at this moment, it's at what I would deem "No consensus for deletion" which would mean the page would stay, but could be renominated at some point in the future. The closer doesn't make the judgement, rather the closer points out the judgement rendered in the discussion. BusterD (talk) 01:27, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

• On which page can I add links and sources??? - Hansomd 01:43, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Under "James Jazzy Jordon" I'm seeing some mention in articles in Billboard and Ebony on GoogleBooks; I'll bet for a producer of this experience there are lots of offline sources in specialized publications, especially gospel music industry publications. Most useful would be sources which directly detail the subject. For living people I find that profiles, interviews, and biographies are most helpful. If you found links and wanted to add them, you might create a new section on Talk:James Jordan (music executive), offering sources with which you are familiar. The Indy 500 connection also looks a strong one to pursue, and looks easily verifiable. This file which will likely soon be deleted as a copyright violation indicates the subject of this article was also the subject of a feature in a racing magazine. The reference for this magazine would go a long way toward verifying this one small aspect of the man's career. BusterD (talk) 02:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks... your input is greatly appreciated... I will dig a little deeper on this article and check in with you from time to time. - Hansomd 02:13, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

This looks good, then this, and this article nail down the Indy 500 claims. These also verify some assertions in the music career. These three links constitute what we call a diversity of reliable sources independent of the subject matter. Maybe not enough by themselves, but together with just the six articles I found on Googlebooks we could verify most of the essential subject matter. Bring me what you find right to this page, and maybe I'll do the insertion myself. BusterD (talk) 02:34, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks... I'm on it.--Hansomd 03:21, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

It's better. BusterD (talk) 18:43, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

• Hey, I been out this week but I got a few links for this page I've been working on that I want you to check out... He's called an marketing genious in a book called This Business of Urban Music; In a article for Billboard magazine, he's noted for working with Dr. Bobby Jones in, who is considered to be the Ambassador of Gospel music, in releasing Faith Unscripted; In a Ebony article, he's worked with Joe in releasing his albums; In another book called People Get Ready, A New History of Black Gospel Music, Jordan has an whole page written about him for his accomplishments; Billboard Magazine notes in contributions in releasing Wow 98, which was also the first Wow album. Is this article going to get relisted again... I'm in and out today but I'm available today...--Hansomd 20:30, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jazzy Jordan

The article Jazzy Jordan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is an article about a back-room person who may have stood behind a couple of notable singers, but doesn't necessarily merit his own article. The Career section reads like the "Experience" section of a resume or CV, and the "Work and Awards" section reads just like the "Awards" section of the resume.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jsharpminor (talk) 16:58, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

RE: Proposed Article Deletion

Unsure as to why the article was considered deletion again considering that the previous attempt to delete was concerning the same issue, however, the wikipedia team assisted me in updating the article. Anyhow, please feel free to review the article and let me know what I can do to improve it.

All of your edits are either on the "Jazzy Jordan" article, or on my talk page, or on your talk page. How you sought assistance from "the wikipedia team" and how they assisted you in updating the article is a mystery to me -- it looks to me like you simply reworded a couple things then removed the tags from the article. Jsharpminor (talk) 05:46, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

If you're so interested in this subject matter, why don't you work on the Verity Records or the Verity Gospel Music Group articles? Or you could join WikiProject Record Labels, or WikiProject Christian Music?
