Nomination of J. W. Cudd for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article J. W. Cudd 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 Articles for deletion/J. W. Cudd until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-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 notice from the top of the article. signed,Rosguill talk 06:49, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello CXsharp. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to J. W. Cudd, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:CXsharp. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. signed,Rosguill talk 06:53, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with J. W. Cudd. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. signed,Rosguill talk 19:03, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello Rosguill. I appreciate your diligence on Wikipedia; however, I am not being compensated for this article or page. I've been following J.W.'s career since he was 15; I'm a music connoisseur, but have been a big fan and wanted to see it properly noted. The number of articles and placements he's received can validate all the sources listed for the page. So many edits have formed in the last 24 hours, since I was trying to correct the page name. He spells it as 'J.W.' opposed to "J. W.". The problem has yet to be fixed, unfortunately. I've worked hard to gather these sources for the last few years, and I ask that it not be deleted...especially since he has a valid IMDb page and notable credits.

 * If you want to avoid the article being deleted, it is very important that you contribute to the discussion on the future of the article, rather than repeatedly removing the AfD tag from the article. Removing the tag does not stop the discussion, and is an act of vandalism, since it interferes with an important Wikipedia process. Instead, please go to this page and engage in the debate. Right now, the article does not contain sufficient independent, published sources to show that Cudd meets the requirements of Wikipedia's standards for notability. Please read those to understand what the minimum bar is for a person to have an article on Wikipedia. If you can provide the appropriate sources to show the notability of Cudd, please add them to the article, and voice your opinion on the deletion discussion page I linked above.
