Wicca article

Hello there, I reverted the edit you made here because the article has a long history of getting burdened with 'In popular culture' references and I didn't think that this one was significant enough to include. I realise reverting like this seems a bit knee-jerk, but perhaps you'd like to discuss it more on the article's talk page? Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 20:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kim. No worries about holding the page off. I'm still trying to get a handle on Wikipedia guidelines and requirements. I wrote up the basic contents for Will's page and planned to add source notes as soon as I'm clear about how. I have numerous active links to 3rd party reviews and interviews re his band(s) and himself. Will excerpts or links to those sites help meet the independent source requirements? e.g.: https://www.kennedy-center.org/artists/f/fo-fz/the-funk-ark/

https://www.marmosetmusic.com/artists/the-funk-ark

https://www.gratefulweb.com/topics/funk-ark

https://www.popmatters.com/157428-the-funk-ark-high-noon-2495861180.html

http://georgegraham.com/reviews/funkark.html

https://performermag.com/new-music-and-video/interviews-and-features/the-funk-ark-an-interview-with-will-rast/

Plenty more where those came from.

Thanks for the advice.

Will Rast moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Will Rast, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Will Rast (June 1)

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

This is mainly name dropping and not sourced by anything besides COI information.

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:Will Rast 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:Will Rast, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
