Proposed deletion of Kingsley Brown

The article Kingsley Brown has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for references failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. This included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Kingsley Brown – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a songwriter that appears to lack sufficient notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Wayne Hector

For any tracks added to the discography (as with all facts posted on wikipedia), the information needs to be verifiable and from a trusted source. For example, for the discography here, it is not sufficient to just say they are referenced on other pages. In some cases those references are insufficient (e.g. One Direction's Best Song Ever's personnel reference doesn't mention anything about Wayne Hector). If you want to add a discography, please make sure all additions are referenced and verifiable. It may be as easy as copying over the existing references from other pages.

Please also note that management of an artist are generally precluded from editing an article as per the Conflict of Interest guidelines. If you are the artist's management as claimed, please familiarise yourself with this guideline and comply with it. ThanksRayman60 (talk) 14:00, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I gave you a good reason for why I removed that information, and some sound advice on how to improve the article. That you don't care is fine, but don't expect that editors won't think that you do have a conflict of interest which makes you incapable of editing neutrally.

Hi again, Although you added one blanket reference for the discography, that's not enough to then just dump an entire list. As mentioned previously, it is not a place to list every piece of work, especially in a list. It can be improved with better formatting, individual references for each credit, more detailed information (he's not the sole writer of every song, accordingly it's misleading to write a list in this manner), and it definitely cannot just be a random mix of singles and albums. This reference is not verifiable as it's not viewable by the general public, so not suitable as a source: http://www.sonyatv.com/en-uk/index.php/articles/artist_writer/21 and this link doesn't work: http://www.sonyatv.com/en-lb/index.php/news/1301 See this link for why the http://www.thebritishblacklist.com/thebritishblacklist/wayne-hector/ reference is not suitable. Additionally, photos can only be used if the license has been granted (for most cases, photos of famous people on Wikipedia are taken by authors/editors and released into the public domain). Adding a photo from Billboard's website is, unless prior arrangement has been made, highly unlikely to be suitable. And as for other examples of poorly maintained articles, that is not an excuse to allow the standards of others to slip. Yes, they do exist, but that is the due to the nature and size of wikipedia and also down to overzealous artists maintaining their own articles. They do get discovered and they do get restored to a satisfactory state but that process takes time and effort. I saw that you listed a few on Drmies's talk page - if you are genuinely interested in improving the standard of wiki articles, then please do help edit those pages too - everyone is free to edit, and you make pick up some skills that help you with other pages you are interested in. And finally, perhaps most importantly, you repeatedly claimed to be part of the artist's management, but have neither acknowledged this since being informed of the policy, not have indicated that you seen the Conflict of Interest policy which I posted here. Please do read through it and abide by it.
So please, before you edit the article again, please discuss your changes in the article's talk page (found here: Talk:Wayne_Hector)Rayman60 (talk) 15:13, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
