Jeremy Katz Music

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable music company with very few reliable sources. Tinton5 (talk) 05:20, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

A primary reason why this article is notable: the company in question (Jeremy Katz Music) is the world's first provider of song parody-driven music videos that are utilized as corporate team-building, employee engagement, and recruitment tools. To create one of these productions, Katz employs the following approach:


 * 1) company employees from any organization in the U.S. choose a popular song and write parody lyrics that emphasize the positive aspects of working for the organization
 * 2) using the parody lyrics, Katz performs and produces a custom version of the song at his NJ studio
 * 3) the company employees create lip sync videos of the custom version of the song at their offices (for companies with multiple offices in different locations, these contributions take place at the multiple office locations)
 * 4) the participating employees upload their various videos to a shared server, and Katz downloads the raw footage
 * 5) Katz edits the footage into a finished video production that includes all of the employees' contributions
 * 6) the video is presented at company functions, shared online, and sent to prospective employees

As mentioned, no other production company offers a similar service, and while it is new, it's garnering attention from key media outlets (Workforce, ERE, HR.com) that cover the HR and recruiting industries. The uniqueness of the service makes it notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thewikirap (talk • contribs) 11:57, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Note, User:Thewikirap was the main editor and primary contributor to this article. He isn't a single purpose account, so possibly COI editing? I'm not accusing you, for now WP:GOODFAITH. Still, this is not notable. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 21:45, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

ThePlatypusofDoom - Thanks for your comments. The media sources cited in the article are all credible. Workforce Magazine (which featured Jeremy Katz Music in a full-length article in its print and online editions), ERE, and HR.com have all decided that news of the company is worth sharing with their audiences. While not a major industry player, the company is on the rise and is attracting marketplace attention. That attention, IMHO, merits inclusion of the article. Thewikirap (talk)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 06:23, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

A new and highly credible media source is in the process of creating a story about Jeremy Katz Music. An article about JKM's production of employee recruiting videos for corporations will be featured in Inside Recruiting, which is a division of Recruiter.com. This media outlet believes that Katz's work is unique and newsworthy enough to cover and feature. Thewikirap (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:25, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete at best as this is better restarted if at all, still questionable for the necessary improvements. SwisterTwister   talk  23:02, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
