Sat August 24: Roosevelt Island Wiknic
[edit]| August 24: Wiknic @ Roosevelt Island | |
|---|---|
 You are invited to the picnic anyone can edit on Roosevelt Island, at Southpoint Park. Following up on this month's Wikimania in Poland, this Wiknic will have as guest of honor User:DerHexer, the 2024 Wikimedia Laureate of the Year, marking his triumphant North American tour! Bring a picnic blanket and some potluck, as well as some sunscreen! We'll also provide a little something for everyone, but we encourage you to bring your own favorite dishes to share, especially for those food cultural topics you would like to improve on Wikipedia. We'll also do a portal thing for a bit with West Coast friends at the WikiLA ocean life edit-a-thon. All are welcome, new and experienced! Saturday, August 24, 2024 NYC Wiknic @ Roosevelt Island (RSVP on-wiki)
All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct.

Immaterial labor nominated for TOTW article
[edit]@Hexatekin Hi! I wanted to let you know that the article Immaterial labor is a current candidate to be chosen for the meta:Translation of the week project, meaning if it succeeds it could be translated into several other languages in the span of a week. If you want to see how the process is going and vote yourself, you can check it at meta:Translation of the week/Translation candidates#en:Immaterial labor. Have a nice day! -- Brunnaiz (talk) 19:42, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started
[edit]Hi Hexatekin. Thank you for your work on Mark Kelley (bassist). Another editor, Mach61, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
I have turned this article into a redirect to the The Roots article. I do not this person meets Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines for musicians; I am redirecting the article in lieu of deletion.
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mach61}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

- Sorry, but no, he has published sources on him and is notable in his own right. Why does this feel discriminatory against the notability of Black musicians? He is obviously famous as a member of The Roots, and on live television everyday, with multiple publications about him. 22:20, 26 September 2024 (UTC) Hexatekin (talk) 22:20, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- Re:
Why does this feel discriminatory against the notability of Black musicians?
, please do not make bad-faith assumptions about supposed racial prejeduce towards other editors; I am a black man myself and have written multiple articles about black musicians, I do not have anything personal against the subject of this article. - Re:
Sorry, but no, he has published sources on him and is notable in his own right
, those published sources don't add up to a viable notability case. They consist of- Two articles unrelated to Kelley which merely note that he is a member of the band ([1][2])
- One article that is technically about to Kelley, but whose information on him consists of the sentences
a Houston native who's the son of classical pianist, and who also plays cello and piano. He's played with the Berklee College of Music's All Star Quartet.
Not really the in-depth coverage we demand ([3]) - Two interviews by Kelley, which are not independent sources ([4][5])
- Even if we assume that the Houston Chronicle article I am unable to currently access does count for notability purposes, our guidelines ask for multiple such sources. Kelley also does not meet any of the musician notbility criteria, keeping in mind that feats the Roots as a whole accomplished (like reaching a national music chart) don't count for him individually (§ Individual members, reality television performers:
Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability
) - Of course, if you find any new sources, or evidence the subject meets a musician-specific criterion, I will drop this case. If not, I will start an WP:AFD discussion to have the article redirected. Cheers, Mach61 02:23, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Mark Kelley (bassist)
[edit]Hello Hexatekin, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Mark Kelley (bassist), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Kelley (bassist).
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Mach61}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
