Matthew Koma discography

Support split - Discography takes up more than one third of the page and should be split to a new article entitled Matthew Koma discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:17, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most of those are reliable sources though. I don't think they're promotional. Billboard, YourEDM, Idolator, Broadwayworld are all reliable sources. I think you meant only this line to be promotional - "Matthew Koma is one of the music industry’s most sought-after songwriters and producers". I agree that line should be removed but why remove the rest? - TheMagnificentist 07:50, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How about "Matthew put his unique touch as a producer on tracks from Tiësto's album A Town Called Paradise, including the hit single...."?

And even "Matthew Koma's newest singles include...." reads as if it's lifted from a press release, and in addition to promotional WP:RECENTISM it also violates WP:DATED ("newest"). Also we use last names only after the first full mention.

Yes, Billboard and such are reliable sources. But that doesn't mean you can use them to cite "Matthew Koma is one of the music industry’s most sought-after songwriters and producers...."

And unless there's something particularly noteworthy about a specific release, it's promotional to repeat in prose everything in the discography list. Are you starting to see how these additions have a promotional WP:TONE?

I understand that writing in a neutral encyclopedic tone takes practice. But you wouldn't believe how many publicists, family members and even sometimes the subjects themselves think of Wikipedia as one more social-media promo outlet like a Facebook page or Twitter account.--Tenebrae (talk) 20:59, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Early Career

Is there a reason the mention of starting his career in "pop punk" doesn't mention that it was with Eve 6? ^[1] That seems a highly relevant and encyclopedic fact. I wanted to ask however, before just adding it, in case I was missing something. Lennix (talk) 16:29, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
