Jackson Morgan (Songwriter)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:BLP this is not a notable songwriter. The information contained within is not sourced. The only things which are sourced (and that is improperly sourced) is several of his writing credits. Yet this is incorrectly done as the credits for "Boomerang" list 'Morgan Jackson' not 'Jackson Morgan'. The main contributing editor is one which is remarkably similar to the name of the songwriter in question suggesting this maybe the author editing an article about himself. Either way not a notable songwriter by WP:GNG / WP:BLP / WP:NMUSIC  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  20:01, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The credit for "Boomerang" is appropriately his; I looked it up at the ASCAP database and "MORGAN JACKSON LEE" is credited (on a database that lists the singer as "SCHERZINGER NICOLE", so it is a last-name-first listing.) Whether being one of five writers on a song that reached a chart is enough notability is not a question that I am answering at this point. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:26, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * If you look at column browser (View > Show Column Browser > Music > Pop > Nicole Scherzinger > Boomerang) in iTunes or if you purchased the single (and clicked view info), the songwriter in question is credited as Morgan Jackson. Someone from Interscope records tweeted me the the single sleeve for the CD-R that was sent to the media/radio and that also says Morgan Jackson (I'm not able to presently access this but as soon as I can, I'll post a link to it). I'm more inclined to believe the embedded digital credits that come automatically signed with the single and the singler liner than Ascap or BMI, which have in the past been shown to sometimes include errors/missing writers or legal names/alternative names.  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  20:34, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Given that the only other Morgan Jackson or Jackson Morgan that appears in the ASCAP or BMI databases that does not appear to be this guy is a "JACKSON MORGAN A" over at BMI, who has zero works credited to him, and given that "JACKSON MORGAN LEE" is also listed as collaborating with Boomerang's "MURCIA DANIEL" on the ASCAP listing of the Pitbull recording "Everybody Fucks", it seems likelier to me that the iTunes listing is in error. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:59, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I would be surprised if iTunes is in error since the label embed the credits when they request iTunes to make the song available for purchase. Additionally Ascap/BMI is known to use legal names and variations of names. For example half of the time Lady Gaga is credited under her legal name Steffani Germenotta. Additionally the single sleeve from Interscope also says Morgan Jackson. Twitter is down at the moment so I can't link to Anthony Preston (A songwriter at interscope) who sent me the official single sleeve.  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  21:02, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

The song "Everybody Fucks" is credited to Jackson Morgan according to All music see here. I accept that its the same songwriter as "Boomerang" however we usually credit the songwriter as per how they're credited on the release credits and in this case its says Morgan Jackson. Just as with Lady Gaga if the credits say Steffani Germenotta then thats what goes down. Either way that's a side issue tbh. Still don't think the songwriter can inherit his notability from a single notable charting song per WP:NMUSIC/WP:BLP.  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  21:10, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
