Fun fact

I own a German vinyl compilation album, whose liner notes translate "down the Falls" in "The Story of Them" as "unter die Wasserfälle"... Narky Blert (talk) 21:40, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More on N.Irish Music

Loved the link Narky Blert Thanks! Here’s an interesting article on the Northern Irish music scene I’ve just finished reading, covering the influence of Punk during the Troubles,^[1] ABJohnston (talk) 20:30, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Them were a bit gud. I've just turned Cypress Avenue from a redirect into a DAB page, and added a hatnote to "Cyprus Avenue" (obvious possible confusion, similar pronunciations).

PS - do you think that Van the Man might be sporting a black eye on the cover pic of Them Again? Yrs, Narky Blert (talk) 22:11, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quite possibly! Thanks for the hatnote. Would eventually love to create a proper page for the play itself. It is pretty far out! Never heard the Joe Cocker track before, nice. ABJohnston (talk)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Amy Molloy (March 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by JSFarman was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

To establish notability, extensive coverage is required. The Irish Independent is solid, but the other sources used here don't provide in-depth editorial. The reviews of her work verify the assertions of the article, but they don't provide significant coverage.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Amy Molloy and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Amy Molloy, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, ABJohnston! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.
