Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 16:03, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Despite receiving an Emmy for directing a documentary, this person does not appear notable per the notability guideline for biographies. I Googled for sources using the term "Robert Jason" television. Google Books hits seemed to be false positives / brief mentions, Google News hits were brief mentions of him directing an upcoming documentary produced by Janet Jackson, while Google News archives hits were also false positives / brief mentions. The notability guideline for biographies specifically states that well-known awards make people more likely to be notable, but do not guarantee notability, and I feel that Jason lacks the independent, reputable coverage necessary to be the subject of an encyclopedia article. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 23:30, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Robert created VH1 reality show Transform me and the Style Network documentary "Born Male Living Female", now he is producing the Janet Jackson documentary ""Truth", this 3 shows are about transgender people, he is making a great contribution to transgender rights. However he is a well known filmmaker but I need some hours to populate the article with references, external links, and more info about his career. Please allow me to work on this the next 48 hours so you will have more information to evaluate his notability. Unfortunately "Robert Jason" is a common name so google is not a good tool to evaluate his reputation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lidyjimenez (talk • contribs) 01:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As far as the Seven Wonders go, that is a well-acknowledged list going back centuries; its provenance is not in dispute, nor are the particular wonders in question. Beyond that, that ranking albums is discussed in notable publications is irrelevant; what makes this particular synthesis notable, and why would it be any more notable than if I replaced the list with one of my own liking, citing the Top Album lists which I claimed buttressed my choices?

[The article was created by an unregistered user with an IP address and number, and further edits, almost certainly by his same person, were made with other IP addresses and numbers within the same, or of a similar, range, from the United States.] An autobiography, without much [of a] doubt. -- KC9TV 13:09, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wp fekula (talk) 01:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC) Comment. I am the subject of this discussion and have the following points to make. 1. This is not an autobiography but a biography submitted by John Derbyshire who has been aquainted with me for many years. Most Wikipedia entries that I am aware of on lives of performing artists are submitted by agents who are paid by the artist. That to me is a much bigger conflict than Mr. Derbyshire who was not compensated and submitted the article some six years ago.He is a very accomplished author and I am stunned that the critics do not even give him credit for his very successful writings.It appears that none of the them even took the time to learn who he is before challenging his credentials. 2. The article is totally accurate and confined to eastablished facts of my career. The only edits I have personally made were to insure accuracy.3. My career on Wall Street was noteworthy amongst leaders in the profession as one can observe by checking history of my accomplishments and the colleagues I came in contact with. Senior management of the firms that employed me trusted my integrity and professionalism and placed with me the full authority to act in the best interest of preserving capital. One can surmise loss of sound credit risk policies after I retired in 2004.4. I have no idea o the knowledge my anonymous critics possess in the financial business. I am aware that any "celebrity" has no problems getting space in Wikipedia through people who take a percentage but many very qualified business and other professionals are not mentioned. 5.The charity I am currently involved with has been doing good work in enhancing the lives of children at risk.It has been in business since 1926 and submits audited financial statements every year. It has raised millions of dollars over the years. As President and CEO I have been fortunate to annually have the leading performers of the Metropolitan Opera world perform without any compensation for the benefit of the organization.Why the critics have totally discounted these important, unique accomplishments is a mystery. Perhaps none of these anonymous critcs attend the opera. All the names listed are verifiable and many list the charity in their Wikipedia bios.6. I regret that not one critic has done his job faithfully and I am personally hurt by some of the crude unthoughtful remarks. It does not serve Wikipedia well.I am more than willing to discuss with anyone associated with this disparagement of my honor and integrity Vladimir Fekula[reply]
"As for your acquaintance with John Derbyshire, why the fuck do you think that we should care about you knowing this obnoxious little shit?"
The person writing this is a Wikipedia editor? I thought Wikipedia believed itself to be a serious enterprise? Two taboo words in one sentence -- this is supposed to contribute to a discussion somehow?
Taboo noise-words aside, how does this writer know that I am obnoxious or little? Has he ever met me? I am, in point of fact, 6ft 1in and 190 lbs, and quite fit, as the writer would find out if he cared to confront me in person with his insults. That is, of course, the last thing in the world he would care to do.
There is a notion out here in the real world that Wikipedia is, so far as its entries on living persons are concerned, a vehicle for 14-year-old left-liberal nitwits to work off their grudges, and their infantile fondness for potty-mouth abuse. Not hard to see where such a notion came from.
