Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Jon Lindsay (musician)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 August 2022
I am currently writing a book that involves both Jon Lindsay and Benji Hughes. Suggesting deletion of this article is really nuts, I use it as a resource. If you don't like the tone, ok fine I guess- but, while Lindsay is not Taylor Swift, he has a very well-covered career and an engaged audience in the music media as well as mainstream (for his political work that's not even being discussed by this person that started all of this deletion suggestion nonsense), and your current discussion is overlooking that there are more than 30 sourced feature articles (not just mentions) and reviews about his solo work that are anything but "PR" or whatever has been said.

Click on the links, this is significant 3rd party objective coverage, period. Directly about what this artist has made. This is real coverage. Point blank, there are articles here from Vice, Consequence of Sound, Paste Magazine, Magnet Magazine, AOL Spinner, SXSW Official, Time Out NY, The Charlotte Observer, Raleigh News and Observer, Indy Weekly, Pop Matters; he's been on tv personally, his songs are IN tv and film; there are cover stories in magazines, exclusively about Lindsay, yet the person that started this says "can't find major coverage." If the articles already cited at the bottom of this page that directly review and speak to Lindsay's records and tours and projects and production work don't meet guidelines, then deleted 80% of this entire platform. Lindsay has far more legit press than most articles I see on here.

I'd like to flag and re-share for open discussion review the top 10 feature articles, exclusively about Jon Lindsay and his work, and that already appear on the main Jon Lindsay article, but are just being completely overlooked in this really crazy discussion about deletion. You all are also not discussing any of his press from the NC Music Love Army, which has political and historical significance involving major figures like William Barber, and none of that is even surfacing here. I need to be included on this discussion and I can't believe that the facts are being skirted over so far. Please allow the voices in here of the experts on this subject.

Also, there's something going on with the person that started all of this in terms of a weird direction to take. This article could easily be edited if needed. Scrapping a quality reference that I use (right now daily) would exactly the opposite of what this platform is supposed to be.

Thanks,

Let's try this again. My request is simply: please include my vote for "keep" this reference article on the deletion discussion page. For the many reaseons I explained. But if nothing else, "Keep". Thank you. Ukenation (talk) 01:02, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
