Why the page "The Friedkin Group" has been cancelled?
How can a holding company whose revenues surpass the 10 billion dollars mark not be relevant when many of its subsidiaries (Auberge, AS Roma, Gulf States Toyota) are considered relevant and have their pages? — Preceding

Suggested Edits to Page
Hi Wikipedia editors, I’d like to suggest the below updates to the Dan Friedkin page on behalf of our client. We do have a relationship with The Friedkin Group and want to be transparent about that so am hoping we can collaborate on objective updates to the page based on notable references. Thank you!
In the upfront, could we add the following information about involvement in film? Following, there are suggestions to Career and Personal Life sections.
Friedkin is the co-founder and principal at Imperative Entertainment, a studio specializing in the development, production, and financing of original and branded entertainment across all platforms focusing on film, television and documentaries.[1]
Imperative Entertainment films include The Square (Palme d'Or at the 2017 Festival de Cannes), All the Money in the World, and The Mule. Imperative Entertainment is also producing the 2021 film Killers of the Flower Moon which will star Leonardo DiCaprio. [2] Friedkin was also the director of the 2019 film
The Last Vermeer. [3][4]
Career
On Aug. 5, 2020, Friedkin agreed to acquire the majority stake in Italian football club
A.S. Roma from AS Roma SVP LLC.[5]
Since 2013 Friedkin has served as chairman of Auberge Resorts Collection, a portfolio of luxury resorts, hotels and vacation properties in the U.S., Mexico, Costa Rica, Europe, Caribbean, and Fiji.[6]
In 2017, Friedkin co-formed 30WEST, providing capital and guidance to creative projects and companies. In 2018, Friedkin and 30WEST acquired majority ownership in
NEON_(distributor), a theatrical marketing and distribution company that distributed the Academy Award winning film Parasite.[7][8]
Personal Life
He and his wife Debra have four children, and live in Houston.
Friedkin is the founder and chairman of the Air Force Heritage Flight Foundation and "one of nine civilian Heritage Flight pilots qualified to fly in formation with US. Air Force single-ship demonstration teams". Friedkin flies a variety of high-performance vintage military aircraft, performing in aerobatic air shows across North America and Europe with the U.S. Air Force and the Horsemen P-51 Flight Team.[9]
In August 2019, Friedkin was voted chair of
Project Recover, a collaborative effort to enlist 21st century science and technology in a quest to find and repatriate Americans missing in action since World War II.[10][11]
An avid golfer, Friedkin built the Congaree golf course in South Carolina that was designed by
Tom Fazio.[12] Congaree has a philanthropic model of providing educational and vocational opportunities for underserved youth with a passion for golf.[13]
He is also the owner of Diamond Creek Golf Club in North Carolina which he purchased from
Wayne Huizenga in 2012.[14] Diamond Creek Golf Club is ranked as one of America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses by
Golf Digest.[15]
Friedkin is heavily involved in conservation efforts through the Friedkin Conservation Fund, which works to protect millions of acres of endangered wildlife areas and stimulate community development in East Africa. FCF also conducts research and monitoring in order to make effective wildlife management decisions and promote long-term sustainability of wildlife and their wilderness.[16][17]
Friedkin is also the Chairman-Emeritus of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission[18], which manages and conserves the natural and cultural resources of Texas.[19]
Hello Wikipedia Editors, I’d like to suggest a few updates to the Dan Friedkin page on behalf of our client. I want to be transparent that The Friedkin Group is our client, so we would be grateful to work with you to request edits rather than make them directly.
First, we suggest changing the first use of Dan's name from "Thomas Daniel Friedkin" to "Dan Friedkin" as this is the name he is generally known by and used most commonly in the media (please see the sources already included in the article for reference). We would suggest changing the name there in the first sentence while keeping his full given name at birth in the infobox.
Second, we suggest changing the piped link in the third sentence from "
Associazione Sportiva Roma" to simply be "
A.S. Roma." That is the common name of the football club, as well as the name of the Wikipedia page for the club, and we believe this would provide greater clarity to the majority of readers.
Third, we suggest adding the following sentence to the end of the "Career" section with the provided citation: "In addition, Friedkin has been recognized for his work in the film
Dunkirk with a Taurus Stunt Award for Best Specialty Stunt. Friedkin piloted an authentic
Spitfire through an aerial dogfight, landing on the beach at Dunkirk.[20]"
Finally, we suggest adding the following sentence to the end of the "Personal life" section with the provided citations: "In 2014, Friedkin and Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, along with other conservation organizations, made the largest conservation investment in Texas history when they purchased the 17,351-acre Powderhorn Ranch to preserve one of the largest remaining tracts of unspoiled coastal prairie in Texas.[21][22]
Thank you for your time and consideration!

@
Vaselineeeeeeee: per your question on your Talk page regarding chronological order of the Personal Life section, we suggest revising it to read as follows. Apologies that some of the references appear broken here, but they should work properly once copied over to the main page.
