Hi - I'm looking for help updating the Michael Meldman article. Mr. Meldman is now the Founder and Chairman (not CEO) as Brett White was appointed CEO in early 2022. Also the article repeatedly refers to "Casamigos tequila" but the company name is "Casamigos Tequila" (upper case "T"). Finally, based on the IRS 990 forms the Discovery Land Foundation has contributed over $30 Million since 2007, which may be material to that section of the article.

Disclosure - I am a paid contractor for the Discovery Land Company, and would greatly appreciate any help in getting the article updated. If there is another forum or format that would work better, please let me know. DiscoveryLandWiki (talk) 14:13, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updated Edit Request

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. CEO was removed; all else declined. JFHJr (㊟) 03:02, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Specific text to be added or removed:
Michael Meldman is the Founder and Chairman, not CEO.
The name of the company is "Casamigos Tequila" not "tequila"
The Discovery Land Foundation has donated over $30 Million since 2007

Reason for change - Out of date information and typos

Greetings from WP:BLPN. Per a similar request there, I've removed the CEO wording at the request of the subject's apparent agent, but mostly because no reliable third-party source appeared to support it. In regards to your edit request, businesswire is categorically unreliable for WP:BLP content. See BLPN and WP:MOS for caps guidance. Government sources are primary, and are depreciated in favor of (or in conjunction with) at least one secondary source. Same goes for company tax filings listed on a third-party site: it remains a mere restatement of a primary source about the company because there's no in-depth non-numerical coverage that makes up something biographically significant about this human being. And nobody even cares about the corp charity unless some reliable third-party source indicates it's somehow biographically significant for this subject. Cheers.

NFL owners unanimously approved the Raiders’ partial ownership sale to businessmen Egon Durban and Michael Meldman

As for the transactions with Wagner, Durban and Meldman, the primary motivator appears to be Davis becoming more liquid. The value of the Raiders has skyrocketed since their relocation from Oakland to Las Vegas. Earlier this year, CNBC valued the franchise at $7.8 billion. While the exact terms are unknown, Davis earned hundreds of millions of dollars by selling stakes to Brady, Seymour, Wagner, Durban and Meldman collectively. 70.170.91.72 (talk) 21:04, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
