Reg Meuross

Hi, You left a message on my talk page about Reg Meuross but I've not edited the article and don't feel able to comment on the "issues banners" on the article. I would suggest starting a discussion on the talk page of the article. By the way, you added a template "helpmeet" on my talk page. I think you meant Template:Help me which is normally used on your own talk page to ask for help. Sorry I can't help more.— Rod ^talk 17:08, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the him or his company, 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 he claims or interviewing him. Your text, apart from some of his discography was completely unreferenced. Even the refrences were reviews of his tracks rather than factual articles supporting what you have written about, and some seem not to meet our definition of reliable sources
It's hard to see how he meets the notability criteria, even the claimed award seems to be from an on-line magazine, and itself isn't notable enough to have an article here. You don't gives any verifiable sales figures, awards or anything else to show why he is notable. The fact that he has appeared with notable acts like Kasabian doesn't make him notable either
there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Your lead is supposed to summarise facts, but we get a PR blurb a warm, engaging live entertainer [whose] same easy going feel informs his discs and their songs of love, longing and true life stories. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: was released to critical acclaim... being nominated for several music awards,... Excellent, engaging and affecting album from one of Britain's finest... one of our finest home-grown songwriters. His light touch and quintessential Englishness was at times remindful of John Betjeman set to music... The songs are well-crafted with original lyrical ideas and it was a pleasure to listen to…highly recommended to the open-minded. and most of the rest is the same, it's a fact-free fan page stuffed full of unreferenced cherry-picked positive reviews, but strangely nothing less gushing or negative in tone.
If you write a biography, we need referenced facts to show why he is notable as defined above. Telling us how wonderful some people think his music is doesn't do that, we aren't a review site. And the selection of reviews is so unbalanced, with three from the same fanboy. Every paragraph includes a promo quote, rather than giving us facts and proper refs.
I notice that your only contributions have been for him or Morton. If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that he is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also guidance for editors with conflicts of interest.
If you work directly or indirectly for him or an affiliated organisation, or otherwise are acting on his behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the person or 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 User:Ktwhitehouse. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ktwhitehouse|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.

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 this important guidance. You must also reply to the COI request above

If you think you can find sourced facts to show notability, I could recreate the article as a draft, but I'd edit out all the quotes, reviews and promos, which you shouldn't restore. If you can demonstrate why he is notable and find proper non-review references, let me know when you wish to proceed Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:27, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Our policy on conflicts of interest

Your username suggests you may be associated with Reg Meuross and Richard Morton. If so, you should declare your connection. Thanks. Guy (Help!) 00:00, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guy (Help!) I do work with Reg Meuross and I thought I had declared my connection on my profile? I will double check and try again. Any help appreciated. I have worked with Richard Morton in the past. I'm not trying to publish a page for Richard at the present in fact that old page could be completely deleted if that's possible? but if you think it would look better if I did declare that connection also I will do so. Thanks Ktwhitehouse (talk) 11:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is what I have on my profile please let me know if that's not enough or not correct:

Hi I am a massage therapist, freelance writer, social media consultant and music promotor based in Devon in the UK. I should like to request edits to the Reg Meuross page, once it is re-published.

I am not paid to do that, but I do have an interest in ensuring this artist's profile is visible and correct, as I work with him as his Manager. I'm not really a paid user, but am declaring a COI here and please let me know if I've got the below correct:

Ktwhitehouse, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by RegMeuross for their contributions to Wikipedia.

Ktwhitehouse (talk) 11:19, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't been paid by Reg Meuross to edit his page but was advised that as we work together I should make a declaration like this Ktwhitehouse (talk) 12:58, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More

Unless he is watching this page Guy will not see your reply above unless you include his user name in a signed message, as I am doing here.

This version is much better. I made these edits. You need to reference parts that still lack references, especially those that have been tagged.

I notice that you still have one review comment, don't be tempted to ad more. Myspace isn't suitable as an external link, find something better for Farr's story. I'm still not convinced that an award from what appears to be a non-notable on-line magazine without its own article here is worth anything, although in general I think that you have made more of a case for notability. I hope this helps Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:36, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Jimfbleak for all of that. I will check and change the myspace link to Farr's story. Thank you for your edits. I will check through and see if I can understand tagging and will reference further. All the best. Ktwhitehouse (talk) 13:51, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
