Talk:Jamal Edwards

Jamal Edwards update career

1. What I think should be changed: In his introduction adding his new career paths including directing and DJing. It should be changed because he now actively makes an income and works with established brands doing this. His directing agent is Radical media.

It should read: Jamal Edwards MBE (born 24 August 1990) is a British entrepreneur, author, director, DJ and founder of the online urban music platform SB.TV. 

2. Adding more detail of his DJ career under the Music heading as a second paragraph.

It should read: He has also started DJing under the alias or stage name "Jamal Artman." The name is his mother's maiden name as chose it as a nod to his grandparents. After learning to mix during the Covid-19 lockdown, he has since played sets at Ministry of Sound, Tobacco Docks and Social Avenue in Manchester and now hosts a bi-weekly event, Cultivation at the Orange Yard in Soho, London.

3. Adding a new heading called Directing as he now is represented by Radical Media and already directed commercial films.

It should read: Directing In July 2021, it was announced that Edwards had been signed to Radical Media as a director. He has since produced commercial content in partnership with the likes of Subway, Depop and for music artist Jake Bugg. On the 12th August 2021, Ed Sheeran released a music video to the remix of his new single "Bad Habits" for his 4th studio album of which Edwards produced and directed.

 Done with edits. The first two parts of the request had already been included on the page. For the third part, the Revolt article was the only reliable source provided, so I found two additional sources to support this edit request: [1] and [2]. Heartmusic678 (talk) 14:41, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Death

Currently, I can't see any reliable sources confirming his death bar an article from BNO News (which isn't categories on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, so please hold off from editing it unless you can cite it with a reliable source. XxLuckyCxX (talk) 22:13, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

@XxLuckyCxX I'd say that BBC is a reliable source when it comes to reporting deaths, they're the company that always holds off on reporting news like this unless it's accurate. Gorrrillla5 22:22, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

That source wasn't available at the time of my original post, but that's fine now and the issue has been resolved. XxLuckyCxX (talk) 22:25, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

@XxLuckyCxX oh sorry I misread your original message, nevermind Gorrrillla5 22:28, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

The BBC is not a reliable source. XTRADER (talk) 00:38, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

@XTRADER The BBC is one of the most popular and reliable news sources on the planet and is heavily used in Wikipedia. It's reliable. If you want to add more sources, go ahead. Fijipedia (talk) 00:49, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

What did he die of? 2.31.162.90 (talk) 19:34, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Short illness. We don't know what said illness is currently. XxLuckyCxX (talk) 20:25, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

That usually means the vaccine. There are many young people suddenly dying of heart attacks. It's the new normal. 188.29.197.116 (talk) 18:19, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Suicide cause of death 92.40.178.1 (talk) 05:58, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Cannolis (talk) 06:26, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

In the UK "suicide" is a conclusion a coroner can issue. The coroner has not released a conclusion yet. IMO it would be wrong to pre-empt the coroner's conclusion. The UK reliable sources will not use the word suicide until the coroner has issued a conclusion. They may use alternative language such as "not suspicious". This is somewhat important: the word suicide means that someone took an action to end their life, and they had the intention of ending their life when they did so. By using the word suicide we're adding potentially incorrect information. We should use UK best practice conventions, so we might be able to use (when reliable sources do) "self inflicted death" or "took his own life" or "ended his life", which are very clear about what happened but don't add potentially misleading information about motive. 79.77.198.35 (talk) 09:18, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

In Career section, change

"His rap name at the time was "SmokeyBarz", from the acronym SB in the channel's title."

to:

"His rap name at the time was "SmokeyBarz, from where SBTV got its name."

Reason: the current wording suggests the rap name comes from the initials in the channel's name (rather than the other way around). Also, SB is not an acronym. Invisibleste (talk) 20:03, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
