Question for WikiDan61

@WikiDan61:

Hello,

I am currently working on the page [[1]] and I noticed that you left me a comment about using a personal interview as a source. The page is being created for my drum teacher, Mr. Jimmy Johnson. He is very old, and he lives a relatively private life here in Stamford, CT. Thus, when I went over to his house to conduct an interview for researching for this web page, he did not allow me to record anything, and so my information is based on all of the notes that I took during our Q&A session together. Is there any way that I can continue to use this as a source, although it is not published on the web? I can have him notarize it if necessary, or do whatever else may be required in order to adequately verify that the information I have obtained is accurate. In the mean time, I am uploading various photos of documents I took while at his house, as ways to provide sources for some of the information.

Thank you for your help,

GrafikMusic

No, you cannot use an unpublished, unrecorded personal interview that you conducted with your drum teacher. The whole point of referencing Wikipedia articles is to allow other editors to verify the article's content, and there is simply no way for other editors to use your interview notes to verify the article's content. In general, personal interviews are not considered reliable sources because subjects can and will say anything they like about themselves. We rely more commonly on sources that have been published in reputable newspapers, magazines, or larger websites where an editorial policy is in place. Similarly, Johnson's own resume is not really a useable source, because, again, people can and will say anything they like about themselves, especially on a resume whose sole purpose is to "sell" the individual. I'm afraid your article is going to need much better sources in order to be published. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:48, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: James Johnson Jr. (jazz drummer) (August 17)

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

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 people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Need inline citations on content written. Sources from independent, reliable sources that talk about the subject directly in length and in dept and not merely passing mentioned such as from newspapers. Wikipedia can NOT be the source - see WP:CIRCULAR. Interviews, listing, home pages, official web sites, resumes, IMBD, utube and etc are considered not reliable and /or not independent.

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.
