Speedy deletion nomination of Joweigha


A tag has been placed on Joweigha requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

"I am a PR"
On your user page you wrote 'I am a "PR" on wikipedia'. If that means that you are being paid to write about your clients here, you need to read Conflict of interest and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. You will see that on any subject where you have a conflict of interest: JohnCD (talk) 17:21, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You should not edit directly, but may make suggestions on article talk pages, or submit drafts via WP:Articles for creation for review by uninvolved users,
 * You are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use ("Paid contributions without disclosure" under section 4) to disclose your interest.

Joweigha
That article was written in the first person "Am a publicist... i got an Offer upon which I was subsequently hired... I attended community secondary school... " etc. In fact, I came here thinking that you must be Joweigha, to explain that writing about oneself on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at WP:Autobiography.

If he wrote it and you posted it for him, that is still autobiography.

Wikipedia is quite choosy about subjects for articles. The test for inclusion is called Notability and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought him significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Notability (summary).

The references in your Joweigha article were things he had written, or pieces about artists he was promoting; they were not about him, so they did nothing to show notability in Wikipedia's sense. In fact it is unlikely that a publicist will himself be notable, as (if it is done right) it is not a job which attracts external comment.

The links in the Welcome message above will tell you more about Wikipedia. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:21, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Reply to your messages
Thank you for your messages. You have evidently done a lot of reading, good! But I really don't have much to add to what I wrote above. You are quite right that Credible claim of significance is a lower standard than WP:Notability, does not require sources, and is enough to avoid speedy deletion; but unless notability can be shown, the article is likely to be deleted in the end, perhaps by WP:Articles for deletion.

In any case, your article about Joweigha Johnson did not, in my view, show any credible claim of significance. It said he worked for a television station, and a publicist, and a record company, and now represents Sean Tizzle. That's a good career, but there must be thousands of people who have a similar career, and there is no reason why the readers of an encyclopedia should want to know about them. Publicists are "behind-the-scenes" people, unlikely to attract the sort of comments that would make them notable.

One reference was an article he wrote: the others were all about his client Tizzle, and two of them did not even mention his name. Working with notable people does not give notability. If he is to have an article, you need to find references about Joweigha, written by people independent of him. I have looked on our standard "Find sources" template:

but all I find is a lot of social media. The article actually read much more like a Facebook page, him telling his story, in the first person, than an encyclopedia article, which should be based on what other people say about him.

I'm afraid this is all rather negative, but I don't want you to waste your time. For something else to read, try WP:No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability. I get the feeling that (like many other people) Johnson thinks of Wikipedia as another social-media site like Facebook or LinkedIn for him to tell the world about himself; but actually an encyclopedia is a quite different thing.

Of course, I may be wrong: if you can find significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources about him, by all means try again, but base it on what the sources say, not on what he says himself. I suggest using WP:Articles for creation, which would let you submit a draft for review and feedback. If not, all is not lost because you have learned a lot about Wikipedia and how to contribute, so you can try to find a more notable subject to write about, or else find existing articles that you can help to improve - that is actually an easier way to get familiar with Wikipedia than writing new articles.

Disambiguation link notification for June 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sean Tizzle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Astray. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:57, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Page userfied
I have reluctantly "userfied" the page - restored it to User:Patricia marco david/Joweigha Johnson where you can work on it. I was reluctant because I am afraid you are wasting your time. The only sources that would establish notability in Wikipedia's sense are ones that are about him, in some depth, written by someone independent of him. Not things that are about his clients, not things that he wrote, not press releases, not trivial mentions. Having many irrelevant references does not help - that is called WP:BOMBARDMENT.

Also, it needs a fairly complete re-write. As it is, it reads like a Facebook page, and is clearly autobiography, written in the first person, Johnson telling the world about himself. An encyclopedia article should be based on what other people have said about him in reliable sources. There is good advice from a very experienced Wikipedian at User:Uncle G/On notability: "'When writing about subjects that are close to you, don't use your own personal knowledge of the subject, and don't cite yourself, your web site, or the subject's web site. Instead, use what is written about the subject by other people, independently, as your sources. Cite those sources in your very first edit.  If you don't have such sources, don't write.'"

If you think you have improved the article enough to meet WP:Notability (summary), then click the "Submit" button which will send it for review.

I will watch this talk page, so you can reply below here if you like - that will keep the conversation all in one place. JohnCD (talk) 12:23, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Dj Kentalky
Dj Kentalky was just deleted a week ago following the discussion at Articles for deletion/Dj Kentalky. If you recreate it again, it will be deleted. If you wish to request a review of that deletion, please follow the instructions at Deletion review but as noted above, you do need to provide a better explanation of the "PR" statement you made. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:06, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

July 2016
In reply to your email: It's obvious from your contributions that you either are User:Yung miraboi mark or are editing on behalf of that blocked user. In either case you are violating Wikipedia's policies, namely WP:SOCK or WP:MEAT. Given the delay of less than two hours between Yung miraboi mark's block and this account's creation I'm going with the former. That's simply too much coincidence.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Dj Kentalky Photo.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Dj Kentalky Photo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Unambiguous advertising by the subject, as well as a bad license. The subject couldn't take his own picture, and whatever was sent to OTRS was insufficient.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
