[edit] Scott F Jackson

Scott F Jackson (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Recreated speedy delete. Obvious conflict of interest. Appears to be non notable. No sources provided and unlikely that many exist Daniel J. Leivick 06:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as non-notable per WP:BIO. However, note that tagging for speedy doesn't place it solely in the WP-admin realm. The Speedy pink-box tells us "If this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself." Removing a speedy tag is allowed by any editor other than the article's creator/primary author. I don't know the history here, are we assuming bad-faith or sock-puppetry by User:WhiteKongMan?

WhiteKongMan created the first Jackson page which was speedied. Given the limited exposure this person has and the striking similarities between WhiteKongMan's user page and the Jackson article I don't think it is much of a stretch to assume that he is Jackson or at least a friend. In any case the article has more problems than conflict of interest and recreation issues. --Daniel J. Leivick 15:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Makes sense to me. Thanks for the clarification. DMacks 20:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. As above. If the article hadn't already afd'd, I'd have speedied it. Lupo 10:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • How is my user page and the Jackson article similiar. And I only know about Scott because I did an interview on him for my high school's newspaper last year.

No need to argue about this, the article does not meet Wikipedia policy. I was trying to clarify to DMacks why I warned you against removing the speedy tag. It appears that you have a connection to the subject of the article in question and the page posted by the subject is identical to the one that you posted awhile back. --Daniel J.

  • Delete as non-notable per WP:BIO - the channel that his show was aired on is the Quincy Public Schools' local cable channel, usually devoted to airing videotapes of recent school events (concerts, etc) and occasionally used for showing whatever projects the AV club students create. As for his "editor" job, a freshman undergrad contributing to the college radio station, while being a pretty cool job, doesn't establish notability. --Mary quite contrary (hai?) 01:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as NN, fails WP:BIO, WP:ATT. In point of fact, I'm a resident of Quincy, MA, and was alerted to this AfD as a consequence of the creator trying to stick this guy on as one of the major internal links for the Quincy, Massachusetts article. As it happens, Channel 22 is the Quincy cable TV public access education channel. I even watch it sometimes, and I didn't know this kid from a hole in the ground. The article claims that Jackson is an editor at the Emerson College TV station, but Emerson's callsign is WERS, not WEBM, and as one of the premier communication schools in the country I find it unlikely that a freshman would get to be an editor of the school's TV station.

He works for WEBN, Emerson's television network where he edits highlights and helps write the script WhiteKongMan 02:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep The fact that his show was on a local access channel shouldn't be held against him. everyone has to start somewhere. Plus, I've seen WEBN Sports on television (its broadcast in winthrop and at emerson i guess) and they do a fine job. Get off his back everyone146.115.47.242 02:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Alright, what elements of WP:BIO do you and WhiteKongMan figure this chap fulfills?

"* Multiple features in credible magazines and newspapers

  • A large fan base, fan listing, or "cult" following
  • A credible independent biography
  • Wide name recognition
  • Commercial endorsements of notable products"
Let us know. That being said, we now have WP:SOCK into play, seemingly, with a first time edit. Beyond that, seriously, Emerson College has no formal TV station, and a search of its website turns up no hits for "WEBN." No such call letters turn up in the Boston region at all [1]. No such station turns up on the cable provider serving Winthrop [2] A directed Google search for a "Scott Jackson" in Quincy (excluding the New York Giants, because there's a football player by that name, apparently) turns up zero hits. Anything else? RGTraynor 05:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Do Not DeleteYou people need to get lives. WEBN isn't linked to the emerson site but its mentioned on this list (http://www.ap.org/ma-ri/Broadcast/broadcast.html) Theres a football named Scott Jackson? either learn about american culture or don't post on this site. Also, what ddo endorsments have to do with anything? Gandi and Lincoln didnt do endorsments
  • Delete - doesn't meet WP:BIO, and the information doesn't have reliable sources. -- Whpq 17:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete A clearly unnotable person, though with a better-constructed article than usual for such. I think it was a fully justified speedy.DGG 00:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It His determinatio and the fact that he has been able to meet so any professional athletes makes him notable. In the future we may need to write another article on him 199.94.94.20 01:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
