Jordan Lawson[edit]

This biography (most likely an autobiography) is of a non-notable individual. Acting and musician roles are minor - does not meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:NACTOR. The three references are a press release and two blog posts. Peacock (talk) 14:35, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This page should NOT be deleted for several reasons. There are many reliable and 100% accurate websites and information online about Jordan Lawson’s career and work. I for one have done my research on this person and his work. He is a pretty well known actor and musician in the LA area from what I can see online and hear from others as well. Also, all the information about his work on this page is verifiable online and I also taken the time to make sure this is accurate and correct. The only reason ANYONE would want this page (which has been on Wikipedia for years) deleted, is because they must have some sort of beef or grudge they are holding against the Actor/Musician. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be taking all their time trying to have this page deleted. Just my opinion. This page belongs on Wikipedia, is correct and the person “Jordan Lawson” it is about is a popular enough individual to be on this website as well. Thanks and god bless!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:6012:4D00:446A:D788:4B7:EE4 (talk) 02:06, 8 November 2017 (UTC) — 2605:E000:6012:4D00:446A:D788:4B7:EE4 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. I tried erasing the “deletion” page for Jordan Lawson but this was unsuccessful at the time. Someone (most likely the person who originally made the deletion page) re-added it back on Jordan Lawson’s Page. I’ve read the comments and information about this page. Being someone who takes Wikipedia seriously, I cannot see any part of this actor and musician’s page that should be removed. All of the information on the page, as well as the individual’s known reputation verifies the accuracy of the page and leads me to believe this page should not be deleted. I agree with Roger Moore who also commented about this earlier. The person or persons who created this deletion page does not understand and/or know who the person actually is. This person is a public figure and I know who he is. Many other people that I have asked also know who Jordan Lawson is and agree with the Wikipedia page and information about him in it. Jordan Lawson is on many different websites and all of this on his page has been verified years ago. Probably before the Wikipedia page about him was even created. So it shouldn’t be deleted and is a valuable addition to this website for fans and anyone who enjoys Jordan’s work. I also am adding this last bit of info with my comment here as well. I realized that there are quite a few Wikipedia pages that mention Jordan Lawson and his work. For example, there are music pages, instrument pages, Acting pages, different city pages, schools, etc that all list him because he is notable enough to be and the 20-25 pages I’ve seen so far all seem to agree about his reputation, work, popularity, etc. That is all.

Delete Long-winded speeches aside (both seemingly posted by the same user under different IPs, no less), the subject is completely non-notable as both a musician and an actor. There's no getting around the fact that the article was basically created as a promotional piece. Only sources cited were PR interviews that do not comply with Wikipedia's citation guidelines. Lastly, you cannot erase a deletion template under any circumstance until the issue has been resolved. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 00:37, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The person or persons who have taken the time to put this page up for deletion continue to attempt to erase parts of this page that have been verified and posted to the page long ago. Information about this person and the page will continue to be updated and verifiable info will continue to be added until the issue has been resolved.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:6012:4D00:78F1:F70:74A9:AA6E (talk) November 13, 2017 — 2605:E000:6012:4D00:78F1:F70:74A9:AA6E (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Delete. Insufficient independent reliable sources to establish that the subject meets any notability guidelines. TimBuck2 (talk) 17:51, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Delete More information had been added to this page previously and someone erased and/or attempted to undo changes tat had been made. This individual has reliable sources and credible work that has been listed on the page. Films, Television and stage performances, as well as several musical acts that are popular and have gained notoriety in the past. All of which was added to page months ago. Will re add again and I will add more sources that had been deleted previously.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:e000:6012:4d00:8924:76cf:257e:8687 (talk) November 13, 2017 — 2605:e000:6012:4d00:8924:76cf:257e:8687 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Note A group of unregistered users, including 2605:E000:6012:4D00:78F1:F70:74A9:AA6E, are currently collaborating on a draft for an all-male band called Rocket, of which Jordan Lawson is a member. I say "all male" because an article (since deleted) on an all-female band named Rocket had been hijacked and rewritten about the male band under the same article title, mainly by anon accounts. It was reverted to the original version on November 7, and the next day the draft was created. The male band has never had a Wikipedia article due to lack of notability. Given the fervor of those herein opposing the deletion of Jordan Lawson (only anons so far), coupled with the similar promotional-sounding and poorly-sourced tone of the draft plus the timing of its creation and the edit histories of its creators, they are more than likely connected with — or actually are — the band and/or Lawson, and are openly attempting to promote both subjects on Wikipedia. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 02:56, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
