This artist is using fake news for improving visibility

Hello, I noticed Louis Siciliano is claiming to have received honours from Queen Elizabeth II. He is also claiming a membership at Grammys. Don't believe to him. And don't trust italian pages. Most of them aren't really reliable. His popularity in Italy is near to the zero. This page shouldn't be published. --Tarukofusuki (talk) 12:16, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

In the context of a deletion procedure on it.wiki, the Italian version of this article underwent a thorough cross-check between the statements reported in the article and the information available on third-party and official sources (many of the sources used for the article were reconnecting, for a reason or another, just to self-statements). We discovered unsourced if not fake information, such as the "nomination as Lord" (no clue at all on the official site of UK Government reporting the official List of Honours), claims of "awardings" that in the reality were assigned to someone else, exaggerations on some award claims (e.g. what was actually an award for the "best soundtrack" was reported as "award as Composer of the Year"), magnifications. He won a Nastro d'Argento but the article and the Nastro d'Argento template (footer of the article) displayed him as the "main" winner: the reality is a bit different. Nastro d'Argento was awarded to the whole pool of composers and the soundtrack of the movie included 20 songs: 9 were written by Negramaro, 9 by another duo and just two were co-authored by Siciliano. Nevertheless, in the template with the Nastro d'Argento winners, for some curious reason Negramaro were not mentioned at all and by chance the very first name reported was Siciliano. The Venice International Festival does not foresee any official award such as "Composer of the Year": on that year, it just happened that a collateral, not official award with that denomination was assigned to him and not as part of the Festival itself but in the context of a collateral event hold in Venice during the Festival. That award is not assigned by the official Festival jury, it is a private award and it is explicitly dedicated to the "unknown movie workers behind the scenes". I saw that this element was considered crucial during the deletion discussion: but unfortunately the users in that discussion did not realise such big difference (collateral unofficial prize vs. official Festival prize), also due to the emphatic and misleading phrasing of the article. We discovered a long promotional activity adding continuously claims without any support in the sources but in self-statement expressed during press interviews, or statements of impressive achievements that are not matching well the actual facts (i.e. he's not the first Italian to belong to a Grammy jury, at least until 2019 there was the Italian conductor Gabriele Ciampi in the jury). Therefore, based also on a deep clean up limited to information supported by neutral, official and reliable sources, a similar operation has been mirrored on this article on en.wiki.--L736E (talk) 16:37, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
