Draft:Jasper Harris (musician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Verifiably concerns regarding a lot of the promotional claims in the article. I’ll note you cite WP:MUSICBIO which specifically warns Note that regardless of what notability criterion is being claimed, the claim must be properly verified by reliable sources independent of the subject's own self-published promotional materials. A lot of the sources cited are interviews and therefor not independent.
    Specifically, note the claim in the draft article In 2021, Harris was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song for his work as a co-producer and songwriter on "Family Ties" by Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar which cite's a Variety article that only says Harris, who had previously been signed to Concord Music Publishing, has quickly become an in-demand name for his production and writing work on songs like Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s “Family Ties,” which won a Grammy for best rap performance last year. While he may have been nominated, that is technically not supported by the source.
    Factual claims must be backed up properly, especially considering COI/PAID concerns. I have done some maintenance tagging, I would encourage future reviewers to double check factual claims of future submissions. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 01:41, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: As the creating editor with COI/PAID, you do not get to decide whether he is Wikipedia-notable. That decision will depend on the quality of references you provide to validate the information. David notMD (talk) 00:13, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Jasper Harris qualifies as “Notable” under multiple criteria in WP:MUSICBIO including two Grammy nominations, and producing and writing songs that charted on Billboard and were number 1 in Top 40 radio rotation.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Garfield075 (talk • contribs) 16:39, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
