Music based on the works of Oscar Wilde

[edit]

Hi. Regarding your question here, no, what you're doing is not OK. Firstly, all entries need to supported by a citation from a reliable source (and MySpace is not a reliable source). Then, you need to ensure that your edits come out the right way. What you've done 3 or 4 times now is to make the details appear in the heading, rather than in the table proper. Please look at the article (in edit mode) and see the format for each entry. I can help you if necessary. -- JackofOz (talk) 23:46, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it wouldn't be sufficient. Anyone can get a CD produced, but it's not notable until and unless an independent 3rd party writes something about it and publishes their commentary/critique in a reputable 3rd party publication. Even then, it may not pass our notability guidelines, but that would be the absolute minimum before we'd consider something as notable enough for inclusion in an article, or for an article of its own. -- JackofOz (talk) 08:46, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks Jack. I am sure I did not write anything obscene as is suggested above. But thanks again for your guidelines on contributions. Would an article in a music magazine suffice such as Hotpress ? Feargalo

I honestly don't know, as I don't know the publication. The best I can suggest is, if such an article exists (and wasn't written by the person the article is about), you can certainly cite it, but whether the content is considered notable enough is still up to the wider WP community to cast their judgment about. -- JackofOz (talk) 23:52, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
