User talk:JasonMadisonw

Welcome!

Hello, JasonMadisonw, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:JasonMadisonw, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

More

I've replied to your message on my talk page there, but more detail now.

You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for a person or organisation, or otherwise are acting on their behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the person organisation you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at JasonMadisonw. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JasonMadisonw|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Also read the following regarding writing an article:

When you write about a person,

you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, 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 person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
Publications written by the person should be listed as such, in a separate section if preferred, with no references for the items. They should not be used as references either, since by definition they are not independent third-party sources as required here.
You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
You must not copy text from elsewhere. 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. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. 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.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. If you are writing about yourself, or someone you know as a friend, colleague, client, employer or relative, you have a conflict of interest, and you must disclose the nature of that COI.

Also, it looks as if you used a bot to write your page. Apart from the lack of any proper independent third-party sources, the fact that your person starts off as Darian “DP” Pollard (he) and ends up as Mona Scott-Young (she) suggests that you haven't read what your bot wrote Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:21, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response.

As I mentioned, I respectfully request a review of the deletion of the article i was trying to put together.

As I mentioned, I am a seasoned public relations and media executive with over thirty years of experience in the entertainment industry. I recently joined Wikipedia to contribute meaningfully to the platform by addressing a noticeable and persistent gap: the significant underrepresentation of Black professionals, companies, and brands in the entertainment sector.

The article I was creating centered on a notable Black entertainment professional whose career has been documented in multiple independent, reliable sources, and who clearly satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines for public figures.

I want to be clear that I have no personal, professional, or financial relationship with the subject. I am not acting on their behalf, nor do I stand to gain in any way from their inclusion on Wikipedia. My only motivation is to support Wikipedia's mission to provide comprehensive, verifiable, and equitable coverage of all notable topics - especially those that have been historically overlooked.

My intention was not limited to this one article. I had planned to create additional articles and expand existing ones related to Black entertainment professionals and institutions. I bring invaluable firsthand industry knowledge and a commitment to neutrality and citation of reliable sources. I fully understand and respect Wikipedia's core policies - including verifiability, neutral point of view, no original research, and notability - and have done my best to follow them in my initial User page area.

I understand that new contributors may sometimes be met with skepticism, especially when creating new pages. However, I believe that Wikipedia is strengthened when diverse voices contribute in good faith. If there were issues related to formatting, sourcing, or tone, I would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to address them in a sandbox or draft environment rather than have the article summarily deleted.

Given the well-documented systemic gaps in Wikipedia's coverage of Black history and culture, I respectfully ask that this article be reconsidered in that broader context. Speedy deletion of well-intentioned, source-supported contributions only serves to reinforce those imbalances.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and commitment to a more inclusive Wikipedia.

Respectfully,

I’m not being paid for this. I think you have the wrong idea here. I just posted a detailed explanation to Jim. JasonMadisonw (talk) 13:53, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarification. Your user page content Wikipedia writer for entertainment professionals and entertainment companies. gave me the impression that you were being paid by those organisations, I'm happy to accept what you say, though. I don't doubt your knowledge and experience, we often have experts in their fields writing here, but however good your knowledge, you have to comply with our rules.

If you look at the guidance above, it highlights many deficiencies in your text.

The subject of your draft changed halfway through, suggesting that you used a LLM and didn't check what it had written, hard to imagine a human doing that, or inventing words like néeborn
Your text was either unreferenced or mostly referenced to sources that were not independent third-party sources as described in my earlier post. Without any proper refs, we can't verify notability, especially as your sources refer to two different people.
You shouldn't have an in-text link to his company
Your text includes opinions and promo, we just need facts. best known for his contributions to major labels and motion picture projects sourced to his own imdb... To have a franchise that represents our culture, our people and to have that kind of staying power and the ability to invent and reinvent as we expand into different cities to me that's probably what I'm proudest of. [It's] the ability to provide the jobs both in front of and behind the scenes... to women and people of color as well. just quoting her.

I'm willing in principle to sandbox the text, but you need to decide who you are writing about and whether you can find proper sources. The woman, at least, seems notable with the awards and the congressional mention. However, I must stress that you are expected to write in your own words, and not rely on AI, the bane of Wikipedia at the moment.

Let me know what you think. I might not get back to you until tomorrow Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:33, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
