The article Junior Kekuewa Jr. has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:03, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

 * It seems you provided some sources already. Newspapers are good sources for Wikipedia, so that's helpful; Google News or Google Books might help to find more sources; Google hits in general are rather unlikely to be reliable by Wikipedia's standards.
 * When you have found more sources, the next step should be to bring the article in line with what those sources report about Junior Kekuewa Jr. The MidWeek article in particular gives some biographical details, not just a show review. The Star Bulletin review, on the other hand, is a one-line passing mention that doesn't really provide any useful information. So I'd suggest you remove unsourced content and summarize what the sources support. You may also want to check out the cheatsheet or maybe the tutorial and deal with the layout issues.

Thank you. The 'we' is just a habit when writing business letters, it's only me. Will work on this now that it is in the draft section, which should have been done in the first place, I just didn't know how. Thank you everyone, you have all been most helpful, will work on the draft as soon as I can. Thanks again, Kauiki (talk) 22:59, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. Please add a section heading when you start a new topic. Your article has major problems still
 * it does not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Your refs do not meet the criteria, they are a mix of reviews, interviews just quoting what he says, and one is even selling tickets! They don't verify most of what is in the text. We want facts, not opinions, especially when they are his own
 * your references were not in-line so we can't tell what fact each is supporting. Put your references in the the text following the fact each supports using . Then    at the end will automatically generate a numbered list
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: local and national award-winning producer... career highlights... self-development is achieved with certain exercises and principals that bring about significant differences in human behavior patterns mentally as well as physical development, resulting in the escalation of self-confidence... the universal law of attraction. Students have been known to change their lives through this method, and Junior position is that it works on everyone... has composed over 300 original compositions...
 * the article was created in a single edit without wikilinks (not even to Honolulu or Hawaii) or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * We're still adding...&mdash; who is "we"? If you are part of his management or publicity team, or otherwise have a financial interest, you must declare it. Failure to do so can result in an indefinite block.
 * You can google him&mdash; that's true, but you need to do the research, not me
 *  It's a work in progress&mdash; should have been published as a draft

Thank you. Kauiki (talk) 22:59, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm going to give you some time to properly reference the article and remove what can't be verified. I suggest that you look at other music biographies such as Elvis Presley. You don't need that amount of detail (it's a featured article) or the fancy reference templates, but it will show you what a Wikipedia biography should look like. Please don't leave it too long to address the issues I've pointed you to Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:07, 11 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, thank you I need some time, and ma very sick at the moment, will start on this next week. It's in draft now, so I hope it will be safe there and not cause you and ire. Aloha from Hawaii Kauiki (talk) 23:01, 11 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Following up what Jimfbleak wrote to you. Please do respond as to who "we" is exactly.  Please also declare, clearly, your relationship with the subject of the article.   Please do respond here, with regard to those two things.  You can reply below, here on this page.  We are both watching this page.
 * Also, I want to let you know that I moved the article out of "mainspace" and into "draft space". The article is now here: Draft:Junior_Kekuewa_Jr..  It is not ready to be in mainspace yet.   Looking forward to hearing from you... Jytdog (talk) 15:55, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you Jim. We is just myself, have a habit of using 'we' instead of I in business letters. Will work on the draft. Thank you, Kauiki (talk) 22:59, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Kauki thanks for answering - that is a bit hard to believe, but.. OK. Would you please answer the other part of Jim' questions  - namely, what is your connection with Junior_Kekuewa_Jr.?   Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 00:24, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Kauki responded on my Talk page in this diff - i cut from there and am pasting here to keep the thread together. Jytdog (talk) 00:40, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Will work on the draft, and write to you when it's a bit better organized. Junior's a friend. Thank you for the help, just need to get this done right ... first time. (could you tell LOL) Aloha from Hawaii Kauiki (talk) 00:37, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. OK, so you have a conflict of interest with regard to this person.  I will make a note of that on the talk page of the draft.  Thanks for disclosing that.  If you like, I can give you some advice about writing a good enough article...  you can reply here, btw.   it is best to keep the thread together. Jytdog (talk) 00:42, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
