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.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Wayshak until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
The Members' Meeting is similar to other WikiWednesday meetups, except that its primary function is to elect a new Board of Directors. We will elect three board seats, half of the elected seats on the board. After being elected, those elected can potentially appoint more seats.
We will also focus on the Wikimedia NYC Strategic Plan, our Financial Report, and Annual and Monthly event teams for the coming year.

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)[reply]
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])
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, Mach6102:23, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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!

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
