August 2026
[edit source]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a draft for a Wikipedia article about yourself, at Draft:Justin Page. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. Paul W (talk) 11:12, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for the note and for reviewing the draft. I understand Wikipedia’s strong guidance against autobiographies and the conflict‑of‑interest considerations involved. To clarify, I am not Justin Page, and I am not writing this draft as an autobiography. I am working to ensure that all content is neutrally written, properly sourced, and based strictly on independent, reliable secondary sources.
- Since the initial review, the draft has been substantially improved to address all concerns raised:
- Added multiple independent, reliable secondary sources providing significant coverage, including a full‑length All About Jazz review and a New York Times profile.
- Repaired broken links and replaced outdated citations.
- Added inline citations throughout the draft, including early life, career, discography, and awards.
- Removed press releases from notability claims.
- Added verified biographical details from published sources (Newport Jazz Festival appearance, collaborations, musical background).
- Added a Notability section summarizing qualifying sources.
- Ensured neutral tone and compliance with the biography of living persons (BLP) policy.
- I recognize that articles about living people should ideally be written by uninvolved editors, and I am not attempting to promote the subject. My goal is only to ensure that verifiable, reliably sourced information is presented neutrally so that reviewers can determine whether the subject meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines.
- Thank you again for your time and guidance. ListenSpravatoFan (talk) 11:48, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, ListenSpravatoFan. I have briefly replied on the draft's Talk page. Paul W (talk) 12:25, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Sarsenet. An edit that you recently made seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is not allowed on Wikipedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or ask your questions at the Teahouse, a friendly place for new users. Thanks. Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 14:47, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for the note. I did use an AI assistant to help structure the draft and identify sources, and I understand that the prose itself needs to be written in my own words. I will rewrite the article text based on reading the sources directly. I appreciate you flagging this. ~~~~ ListenSpravatoFan (talk) 16:58, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
Drafts
[edit source] Hello, ListenSpravatoFan, I'm Bearcat. Please note that pages in draft space, such as Draft:Justin Page are not allowed to be categorized alongside finished articles in mainspace, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT. The page must stay out of any categories so long as it is outside mainspace, and this is not an optional rule that you're free to disregard or ignore.
You can provisionally list categories in your draft without affecting content categories by using one of the methods described here.
As the page has had to be pulled out of categories three times in 20 minutes, do not readd it to categories again, because draft and sandbox pages are not allowed to be in content categories. Note as well that there can be consequences for disruption if it doesn't stop, such as page protection or deletion and/or the temporary or permanent suspension of your editing privileges. Bearcat (talk) 13:54, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
- I apologize for the error. ~2026-46484-90 (talk) 15:07, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
AfC notification: Draft:Justin Page has a new comment
[edit source]
- Please do not remove past AfC decline templates (you have now deleted the initial notice twice, plus a further comment). These are left for future reviewers so that they can review your draft and check that any prior concerns have been addressed. Removing these templates can make it more difficult for your draft to be accepted. Thank you. Paul W (talk) 14:01, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
Re-submission
[edit source]Hi ListenSpravatoFan. You will need to re-submit the draft article for review (click the blue button on the template above the article). Best wishes. Paul W (talk) 23:06, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, ListenSpravatoFan. I have just seen your most recent changes. It seems clear you are maintaining a draft off-wiki and that you then use that to overwrite recent changes. Earlier today I added sources that your latest change then simply discarded - that is not in the spirit of collaboration and consensus. I won't bother trying to support this article any more. Paul W (talk) 22:04, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
- If that is the case, it was entirely unintentional and I’m sorry. I certainly didn’t mean to delete anything changes you had made. I hope you will reconsider. I value how collaborative you seemed with the most recent changes! I see I did inadvertently blow them a way. If I re-integrate them would you reconsider? ~2026-46484-90 (talk) 22:28, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
- Please give me an additional iteration to merge the changes. I have you to thank for finding this whole new aspect to Page’s background. ~2026-46484-90 (talk) 22:30, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
- Paul W: the drafts are coming from AI chatbots, but you are correct about the reason for categories and AfC templates being removed. This is very common with users copypasting from chatbots. ‑‑gurkubondinn 20:44, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

- User:ListenSpravatoFan. I am not willing to co-operate with an editor routinely deploying LLM in both the draft article and in Talk page discussions. I prefer to deal with human editors. Using AI contravenes Wikipedia policy (see WP:AIPOLICY) and can be seen as disruptive (WP:LLMDISRUPT). Paul W (talk) 09:10, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Paul, thank you for the note. I understand your preference and I’ll make sure any future edits and discussions are fully human‑written. I appreciate the work you’ve done on the draft. ListenSpravatoFan (talk) 09:41, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Hiya!
[edit source]First of all, very flattering username. Thanks! However, it appears some thing abt Wikipedia policy may be unclear to you.
First of all, for anything to be considered notable, it needs to be in many reliable sources. See WP:RS for what counts. A benchmark i use is 3 or more articles that are mainly about the subjest(ie. not a fleeting mention)
Second of all, dont use AI to write. You have fingers, i presume you can write, you have a keyboard or touch screen you can do it. Yes it takes a long time, but anything made by hand is better than anything a clanker generates. Clankers also lie(see: Gemini telling ppl to eat 1 rock a day lol).
If you keep getting something denied at AFC, id recommend backing off until you are more experienced at editing. Also in the unlikely event that you are paid by and/or associated with Justin Page, you must disclose as per WP:COI. Thanks and have fun editing! 🥤Spravato!🍒/🧋 04:27, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the message — I appreciate you taking the time to explain how you interpret the sourcing and notability guidelines. I’m still learning the ropes, so hearing different perspectives is useful.
- Just to clarify one point: I’m not associated with the subject, and I’m not paid or connected in any way. I’m simply trying to understand the standards for WP:N and WP:RS better while improving the draft based on feedback. I’m also writing everything myself — not relying on AI to generate article text — and I’m taking care to follow the policies you mentioned.
- I appreciate the encouragement about gaining more experience. I’m continuing to work through AfC feedback and refine things step by step. Thanks again for reaching out and offering guidance. ListenSpravatoFan (talk) 10:01, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
Additional supporting evidence
[edit source]Page received a music‑composition award from the National League of American Pen Women, Inc. in the mid‑1980s. The NLAPW is a long‑established national arts organization founded in 1897. While this award is not presented as significant coverage under WP:N, it provides independent recognition of Page’s early work in music composition. Documentation will be added when located.
Page was also interviewed by Edge Radio in 2026 regarding his book Listening To Spravato. While interviews are not considered significant coverage under WP:N, they provide supporting evidence of ongoing public engagement with Page’s work. ListenSpravatoFan (talk) 10:02, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
- Here is the thing. WP:TOP4 states that awards are not a argument in deletion discussions. You still need 3 or more actual secondary sources. They must A) be completly independent of Page(ie. no PR or listings) and B) talk abt him in specific(ie. do not use an article thats like "list of jazz singers who love Spravato" or whatever). So far, you have not included these sources and i have personally not found them. I personally wish Page could have an article, but i can't control wikipedia policy :(. Theres a lot i would change if i was an admin, but in the end, i dont control wikipedia. I just have to follow policy.
- My reccomendation is to give up the Justin Page article for a bit while you get the hang of wikipedia. Maybe write abt him in the Spravato article? That's much easier than a whole new one. Once you are familiar with sources and policy, then you can write. 🥤Spravato!🍒/🧋 10:40, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback, Spravato. Just to clarify a few points on policy and next steps:
- WP:TOP4: Just a quick note—WP:TOP4 actually falls under Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions regarding "won or did not win a competition", rather than general sourcing requirements.
- Sources & Verifiability: Per WP:OFFLINE, reliable offline print sources (including archival reviews and coverage in publications like The New York Times, New York Post, and DownBeat) carry full weight under Wikipedia policy. They do not need to be hosted online to establish primary notability under WP:MUSICIAN or WP:GNG.
- Scope & Subject: The forthcoming sources are independent feature reviews and standalone coverage strictly centered on Page's work—not brief mentions or directory listings.
- Next Steps: I’m keeping the draft intact in mainspace/draftspace as I pull the print citations tomorrow. Merging into another article won't be necessary once the independent secondary coverage is formally cited.
- Appreciate your patience while I add the offline citations to the draft! ListenSpravatoFan (talk) 10:46, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
- Ok, as i understand it, offline citations are fine, just some editors may get dubious of them because they cannot check themselves. as long as Page was not involved in the source's creation then it should be ok. With the AI, i want to give the benefit of the doubt, so i am NOT accusing you of anything and I don't truly believe you are really using AI, an AI detector(https://copyleaks.com/ai-detector) said your comment was 100% AI. Since you are already facing accusations, i'd recommend you read WP:AISIGNS just to see how you can write in the future to avoid further accusations. This applies regardless of if you are actually using AI, as the other editors do not know that for sure. 🥤Spravato!🍒/🧋 11:06, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

Unblock request
[edit source]
ListenSpravatoFan (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log) • SI)
Request reason:
Hello — I am requesting an unblock. I understand the concerns raised about LLM‑generated content, and I want to clarify that I wrote my drafts and user page myself. Some URLs were incorrect or outdated, and I acknowledge that this created the appearance of unreliable or machine‑generated references. I will be more careful with sourcing, formatting, and templates going forward, and I will avoid adding any material that is not fully verified. I am asking for an opportunity to continue editing constructively and in line with Wikipedia policies. Thank you for your consideration. ListenSpravatoFan (talk) 14:28, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You said above "I did use an AI assistant to help structure the draft and identify sources". I think you were right when you said that. You will need to agree to fire your LLM and start doing all work here yourself. 331dot (talk) 15:37, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
ListenSpravatoFan (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log) • SI)
Request reason:
I understand the concerns raised about LLM‑generated content, and I want to clarify what happened. The issues that were interpreted as “hallucinated” were actually human copying and pasting errors. I drafted most of my material in a plain text editor, and my writing style has unfortunately been mistaken for AI output before. I see now how the broken URLs and formatting problems created the appearance of LLM involvement. I accept the feedback and will take it seriously. I am ready to stop using any LLM assistance entirely on Wikipedia and elsewhere and will do all writing, sourcing, and drafting myself. I will also be more careful with references, templates, and formatting so that my edits do not trigger these concerns again. I am requesting an unblock so I can continue contributing constructively and in full compliance with Wikipedia’s policies. Thank you for your consideration.
Decline reason:
So first you used an AI assistant, but now they were human errors? Also unfortunately this unblock request also feels strongly as if it was LLM-generatated. We want to talk to you, not whatever three-of-a-kinds a chatbot spits out after you tell it to get you unblocked. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:38, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks.

I didn’t think that was forgotten or think you were simply going to forget the history of this matter, or that you are fools. I verified those links myself and stopped using AI/LLM at that time. I was so anxious about repeated claims I made errors that were indeed called “hallucinations.” Even my mistakes were used to further the AI claim. I’m not sure this is an accusation from which anyone can free themselves. I believe I would be an excellent contributor and have some knowledge and skills to be one with all of your editorial knowledge and scrutiny. I write very well with pen and paper (well, sloppily) but can’t upload that paper within the rules of Wikipedia. Perhaps this will also seem like AI to some of you. To review, I “confessed” when asked and then stopped the behavior. I’m now scared to use the spell check in MS-Word (to be clear-- I have.) I respect the ferocity of your work and of this process and I aspire to it. All I can do now is ask, once again, under your strict watchful eyes to be unblocked so that the time I have spent, and all of you have, can end up producing something good and meaningful and solely human-created. I believe I can help make Wikipedia a better (or at least not less, of a) place. I’m tempted to misspell something intentionally but maybe an AI prompt would do that, too. I don’t know. I ask again to be unblocked, and state no AI was used to produce this message or the last. Thank you for your time and consideration and for doing what you do. |3 = ~~~~}}

I write very well with pen and paper (well, sloppily) but can’t upload that paper within the rules of Wikipedia. Perhaps this will also seem like AI to some of you. To review, I “confessed” when asked and then stopped the behavior. I’m now scared to use the spell check in MS-Word (to be clear-- I have.) I respect the ferocity of your work and of this process and I aspire to it. All I can do now is ask, once again, under your strict watchful eyes to be unblocked so that the time I have spent, and all of you have, can end up producing something good and meaningful and solely human-created. I believe I can help make Wikipedia a better (or at least not less, of a) place. I’m tempted to misspell something intentionally but maybe an AI prompt would do that, too. I don’t know. I ask again to be unblocked, and state no AI was used to produce this message or the last. Thank you for your time and consideration and for doing what you do. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
- (Non-administrator comment) Thank you for not using a LLM to write this unblock request, and acknowledging that you did use an AI assistant early on. Are you able to elaborate approximately when you stopped using an LLM?
Additionally, yesterday at Draft talk:Andy Farber, you saidThe 404 errors appear to be caused by the AfC preview window and by URL parameters appended during preview
. The "AfC preview window" is not a tool I'm familiar with, but it sounds like it has some technical issues that need to be patched. Are you able to share with us where to find the AfC preview? In solidarity, nil nz 02:58, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Request reason:
Notes:
- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
- Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:
{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=reason I stopped using Copilot immediately after 331dot first raised the concern. That was several days before the block and before any of the G15 tags. Everything I’ve written since then has been done entirely by me, in a plain text editor. When I said “AfC preview window,” I meant the normal preview pane that appears when you click “Show preview” or “Submit draft.” In that preview, some external links showed 404 errors, but they worked normally once the page was saved. As I’ve said, I’m committed to editing without any AI/LLM assistance going forward — and honestly, probably not using it much outside Wikipedia either. I am compelled to add this wasn't written by AI either |3 = ~~~~}}
If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

- (Non-administrator comment) Im here again! Thanks for writing something that got 0% on AI detector! I trust that you wont use ai again, and i do believe that you were just writing in a way that sounded like AI. When/If you get unbanned, i'd encourage you to look at WP:AISIGNS and check your work against that so you dont get false flagged again. Also ensure your sources are accessible/exist and maybe dont rush into things till you have experience. I and the community really hate AI, so we tend to pounce when someone is accused of it, so its best to write in a way that doesnt sound like AI, regardless of if you are using it. Remember, we cannot see your screen so we cannot know for sure if you are telling the truth. Some ppl here hate it when someone keeps pushing for their draft to be accepted. Have a nice time! 🥤Spravato!🍒/🧋 04:52, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
