User talk:Editor999!

October 2017

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Irish rebel song, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 04:02, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Striking message due to good faith question on my talk page. My reply is: You can cite a web page about the performer or one or more of his songs which shows that he is indeed a performer of such songs and not just some random name that has been added. I assume you can cite some references for a proposed article so one of those ought to meet the requirement. If you cannot cite any references, I do not see how you can write an article about a person without having it challenged and probably deleted on the basis of lack of notability. There are a few entries on the page which should be removed because there are no links to Wikipedia articles and no citations showing the identity of the person or song but until that is done, it does not mean others should be added. (Note this is as information and no criticism of any kind is intended.)
