Jamie Lynn Spears

Hi there.

When I look at a pending edit, my only concern is whether or not the edit complies with the relevant Wikipedia policies. This includes the policy on the verifiability of content. This particular article is a biography of a living person and as such it's held to an even higher standard than other articles in this regard. Put simply, the material added must be evidenced by references to reliable and independent sources which support what's been added. Of the three sources supplied with the edit, two were business listings which do no more than demonstrate that there's a connection between a company and the husband of the article's subject while the other is a 'net worth' piece which just shows that they are indeed married. None of the sources talk about the main topics of the edit; that the media often misrepresent the true nature of the business, and that social media users suggested that the article subject and her husband had intentionally misled the media. Therefore most of what was said in the edit was not supported by the supplied references, and that's why I rejected the edit.

If you can find reliable sources which back up the claims about the nature of the company and the social media 'storm' you could try adding it again, citing those sources, and see if other editors are happy with it. It's quite possible that it may still be rejected, though, especially if you can't show that Jamie Lynn Spears herself has some involvement - at the end of the day the article is about her so the business dealings of her husband aren't relevant unless she's involved somehow.

Hope this clarifies my thinking. Neiltonks (talk) 15:10, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
