Page deletion

[edit]

I've given this a temporary stay of deletion, if you wish to think of it in those terms. Essentially, here's why it was nominated for deletion and the article was declined at AfC:

  • The first issue is that the sourcing you have here doesn't establish notability. You have primary sources, like the performer's social media pages or pages created by organizations or people with whom he's worked with or otherwise affiliated. For example, Jimi Somewhere performed at Ekkofestival, so the festival website would be seen as a primary source. You need to show where he's received coverage in independent and reliable sources, to show where he passes WP:MUSICBIO. Make sure that you're careful not to rely on interviews too much as far establishing notability goes, as they're seen as primary sources by many Wikipedians. Newspaper articles about Jimi and reviews of his work would be good to look for.
  • When writing, make sure that you're not writing in a style that is too casual or informal. This is likely what made the writing seem promotional, as this can resemble a form of marketing speak - even if this wasn't intended. The best way that I can describe this marketing style is that it is meant to appeal to the average person via its casual, informal style - kind of a "just us folks" type of feeling. What this means as far as Wikipedia is concerns is that you need to use a more formal writing approach. I've edited the draft to help with this. I also removed some content that seemed a little problematic, but more on that in the next point:
  • When sourcing something, make sure that you link to the specific source and not a general page. This is especially important for any claims that are major and/or personal, such as when someone was born, where they live, or where they came from. The reason for this is that it poses an issue of accuracy, as it makes it difficult for the reader to verify the claims. Also, when including anything that could be seen as a personal opinion, make sure that you attribute it. For example, the statement about how his music could be described came across as a personal opinion. If this was him making this claim then it should be attributed to him, such as "Jimi Somewhere describes his work as...".
  • I've created a discography section for the releases - this is often a little easier to maintain than trying to write out all of a musician's work in prose format.

I hope that this helps you - I've added some sourcing to the article that should be useful and as an example of what you should be looking for. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 20:33, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How to write articles that don't get rejected or deleted

[edit]

If you're going to write an article about anyone or anything that is not you or something you are connected to, here are the steps you should follow:

1) Choose a topic whose notability is attested by discussions of it in several reliable independent sources.
2) Gather as many professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources you can find. Google Books is a good resource for this. Also, while search engine resutls are tnot sources, they are where you can find sources. Just remember that they need to be professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources.
3) Focus on just the ones that are not dependent upon or affiliated with the subject, but still specifically about the subject and providing in-depth coverage (not passing mentions). If you do not have at least three such sources, the subject is not yet notable and trying to write an article at this point will only fail.
4) Summarize those sources left after step 3, adding citations at the end of them. You'll want to do this in a program with little/no formatting, like Microsoft Notepad or Notepad++, and not in something like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer. Make sure this summary is just bare statement of facts, phrased in a way that even someone who hates the subject can agree with.
5) Combine overlapping summaries (without arriving at new statements that no individual source supports) where possible, repeating citations as needed.
6) Paraphrase the whole thing just to be extra sure you've avoided any copyright violations or plagiarism.
7) Use the Article wizard to post this draft and wait for approval.
8) Expand the article using sources you put aside in step 3 (but make sure they don't make up more than half the sources for the article, and make sure that affiliated sources don't make up more than half of that).

Doing something besides those steps typically results in the article not being approved, or even in its deletion.

If you are writing about yourself, or someone or something you are connected with (such as a friend, family member, or your business), the following steps are different:

1) If the subject really was notable, you wouldn't need to write the article. Remember that articles are owned by the Wikipedia community as a whole, not the article subject or the article author. If you do not want other people to write about you, then starting an article about yourself is a bad idea.
8a) If the article is accepted, never edit it again. Instead, make edit requests on the article's talk page.
8b) If the article is rejected, there will be a reason given. Read it carefully and closely. If there are links in the reason, open them and read those pages.
