::This article was not written by Constance Demby but rather by User:Equinoxe. There is as yet no evidence that User:Equinoxe is Constance Demby and even if it is, there is no prohibition against writing an article on yourself. There is a prohibition against advertising yourself. I understand there may be some concerns with POV, but the artist is a notable musician.

replies: text: The current article is heavily rewritten by User:Constancemary who has admitted to being Constance Demby, which is a complete WP:COI. No wonder she constantly re-inserts unsourced peacock such as "hailed as the 21st century’s Mozart / Bach / Beethoven" in 2008 as in 2009 62.147.37.184 (talk) 09:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Article now fixed so I removed the WP:COI tag I previously added (re: Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_32#Constance_Demby_hyping_Constance_Demby). Let's hope Demby's 2007–2009 COI chapter is now closed too. 62.147.38.135 (talk) 16:42, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be very nice if all could be pleasant and Assume Good Faith.  COI does not mean that a subject cannot edit their own article.  Happy editing to all.  Keegantalk 01:12, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Have to disagree: ever since Demby started censoring and rewriting her own bio in 2007, she has been warned many times on her talk page, yet never discussed and kept at it. I think she has forfeited rights to "Assume Good Faith" long ago. — Ekans talk @ 18:54, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Autobiography 

message: After looking into this long unsourced claim that Novus Magnificat was "Grammy nominated", and filing a request about it at the Wikipedia:Reference desk/Entertainment (permalink), it appears that it's not just unsourced but unfounded. I'm going to work this sourced sentence into the article:
: Though it wasn't nominated at the Grammy Awards,Novus Magnificat was released in 1986 and eligible for the 1987 Grammy Awards (alias "Grammy Awards for 1986"), where a "New Age" category appeared that year for the first time. Neither the album nor Demby appears on the MetroLyrics list of 1987 Grammy nominations, including the two compilations from Germany's Windham Hill Records, "various artists - Windham Hill Records Sampler '86" and "various artists - A Winter's Solstice". (Same for 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989.) No other source checked in June 2009 (including Google News Archive and Google Book Search) could list the album among Grammy nominations. The "Grammy nominated" claim found on Demby's website since at least 2001 (and in some interviews) may have been a confusion between the album being "nominated" by its record label to the Grammy academy (as is the regular process) and the actual official list of five Grammy nominees (the one called "Grammy nominated"). the album sold over 200,000 copies worldwide [...]
Its note being: 
Should there be another side to this story, the burden of proof is now even more in Demby's camp: as already suggested on Demby's talk page, I think that a scan of a reputable publication listing Grammy noms with her album among them (plus full references) would now be needed to update this claim in the article. — Ekans talk @ 21:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I saw your post on the Entertainment Reference Desk and it's obvious you put a lot of hard work into researching this.  Good work, Ekans.  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 17:14, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alleged Grammy nomination 

message: : Pardon the shoddy sourcing. Several webpages cited her birthdate as being in 1939, and the most reliable one was a music article published in Italian. Unbeknownst to me said Italian author is of ill repute on Wikipedia, yet his was the most reliable source out there. As an editor, I'm not in the habit of demanding to see people's birth certificates for proof of age (or anything else), but if Ms. Demby can send Wikipedia a note contesting a birthdate, then she could just as easily send a note with proof of what that birthdate actually is.
