Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (August 17)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Virtually unreferenced. No indication of notability.

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 User:BCross2003/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

August 2022

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Very Confused

I'm trying to get my page published however I've now resigned myself to this being impossible despite writing and being credited with working with a Grammy Award winner (Amy Wadge). I have used 'Allmusic' as a citation source for two links however I am being told that this is not a reliable source, even though my fellow musician Rosalie Deighton has used this platform on a number of her citations. I've obviously got credits for working with Amy as my name is clearly on the record, so I really don't know what to do. I've just signed a record deal and a publishing deal therefore appearing on Wikipedia is pretty important to me, however it seems writing and performing with a Grammy award winner does not merit my inclusion in Wiki's domain.

Hi, I've just replied to you at the help desk, but saw your comment here as well, and wanted to say that it seems you may have misunderstood what Wikipedia is about. We're not LinkedIn, where you can create your own profile to tell the world about yourself and promote your career. We're an encyclopaedia, and mostly summarise information that other, independent and reliable sources have already published about a topic (which is pretty much the definition of notability, which is a core requirement for inclusion here). So if you have been featured in BBC News, NME, or even the South Wales Echo, then find and summarise those, cite them as your sources, and you should have no trouble showing notability.
