Good afternoon @Binksternet

I'm sorry but I worked hard on getting the right information for those Klaatu articles and even the Terry Draper article. But for most of them to get removed and even some things that I didn't edit be removed too, makes me feel like I made a disservice towards the articles and Klaatu fans who are possibly researching the band. Because now there is a bunch of information that needs to be filled out like recording dates and release dates. Listen I went on the band's website too for the information I could find and I know they are correct. I just feel like I really did something wrong with adding that information though.

Sorry your first foray into Wikipedia was frustrating. You made some errors that needed correcting, for instance you capitalized band names such as the Beatles and the Carpenters when Wikipedia's house style is against doing that in running prose; see MOS:THEMUSIC. You cited Wikipedia itself in your first edit;[1] this is not allowed per WP:USERG. Finally, you cited the fanpage klaatu.org even though it is a blog run by Dave Bradley. It is not the band's webpage. (The band's webpage is no longer available. It is archived at klaatutheband.com.) Binksternet (talk) 17:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: California Jam (song) (September 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:California Jam (song) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
