This draft was created in response to the split request first raised on theBuchanan (band) article on 21 August 2025.The purpose of this page is to provide a dedicated article for Josh Simons, whose career and biography extend beyond the scope of the band.
Much of the material reused here was previously part ofBuchanan (band). Once this article is approved and moved to mainspace, that overlapping content should be removed from the band article to avoid duplication, in line with the original split request.Park.pound (talk)21:45, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for moving the draft. The subject is indeed a musician but is also a technology entrepreneur and the current CEO of ASX-listed Vinyl Group Ltd. The article covers both his music career and his later work as a founder and executive. Once the draft is reviewed and accepted, an uninvolved editor may consider whether a title such asJosh Simons (entrepreneur) orJosh Simons (musician and entrepreneur) would better reflect the article’s full scope. This note is simply to help future reviewers understand the intended coverage.Park.pound (talk)11:19, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The result of the move request was:not moved. This isn't how we rename BLP perMOS:PEACOCK andWP:ENTREPRENEUR. Businessman is the norm here.(closed by non-admin page mover)CNC (talk)20:50, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Josh Simons (businessman) → ? – The current title uses "(businessman)" as a disambiguator, but reliable sources and the subject’s public profile describe him primarily as a technology entrepreneur and music executive. The earlier draft (Draft:Josh Simons (entrepreneur)) was created under that name, and talk-page history shows prior consensus that "(entrepreneur)" better captures the full scope of his work in music and technology. This change aligns withWP:PRECISION andWP:NATURALDIS, clarifying the subject’s notability domain without bias.Park.pound (talk)13:50, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Supporting statement: Publications such as *The Australian Financial Review*, *Music Business Worldwide*, *The Music Network* and *Variety Australia* refer to Josh Simons as a technology entrepreneur, music-tech founder or chief executive. The article covers both his music career and leadership of ASX-listed Vinyl Group Ltd (VNL) and Vampr, so “entrepreneur” is the most accurate and natural disambiguator. This aligns with the original split fromBuchanan (band) where editors anticipated a move under “(entrepreneur)”.Park.pound (talk)13:50, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
