Michael J. Brooks

Hi, I removed a considerable number of inappropriate reference on Michael J. Brooks. First, blogs, etc are not reliable sources. Second, linking to his Patron page is wildly inappropriate. Finally, the sources need to be about him not by him. I also removed the listing of regular shows, which I for reasons I explained on the talk page.

I would suggest when writing an article you should first find three independent reliable sources, like articles in major newspapers, widely circulated magazines etc (not blogs, podcasts, YouTube shows) that give significant coverage to the subject. Significant coverage usually means several paragraphs that talk about the subject. These sources must have strong editorial control, have a reputation for fact checking and accuracy and be by third parties who are completely independent of the article's subject ie no press releases or other promotional/advertising material. You should also read this page about writing your first Wikipedia article before you get started.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page or {{ping}} me ({{ping|Jbhunley}}) from any talk page. Jbh ^Talk 21:03, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

The Michael Brooks Show

Hello, I've been very busy as well, so I hadn't noticed this Wikipedia drama for two months. I felt that it was unfair this page was deleted, and now it seems the original Michael Brooks page has also been removed. The article on the person has a better case of notability than the podcast, and I'm willing to host the last revision of that article as well. You're certainly invited to make any revisions you want to the podcast article that is currently on my username space. It's been a long time since I was any major sort of editor but I could help.
