Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Jon Schmidt, from its old location at User:Pianoguysfan/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jon Schmidt (April 3)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Not establishing the convincing independent notability needed for his own article, notability cannot be inherited from others.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jon Schmidt (May 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mz7 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Unfortunately, the cited sources do not provide sufficient evidence that Schmidt is notable independent of The Piano Guys, as most of them focus the majority of their attention on The Piano Guys. Try to find more sources that specifically focus on his solo work outside of The Piano Guys. The Billboard biography is a good example. If you can't find such sources, it may not be appropriate to have a standalone article about Schmidt at this time.

Dear Mz7,

Thanks! On Jon Schmidt's bio here on the Piano Guys website, it says he has won awards during his solo career, but I can't find any articles citing the awards he has won. What do you recommend me to do?

Pianoguysfan^talktome 17:49, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Pianoguysfan! Ultimately, reliable third-party sources form the backbone of a Wikipedia article, and without them it is difficult not only to show notability, but also to find verifiable encyclopedic information to add. I wonder if it'd be okay to create a new section at The Piano Guys detailing who each member is and their accomplishments. I'd imagine that may work out better. Mz7 (talk) 04:40, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Mz7! Thanks, I'll try that out. Pianoguysfan^talktome 08:49, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Mz7! I've tried out what you suggested and it's kind of finished. It's in my sandbox. Could you tell me if it's ok or if I should get rid of some irrelevant stuff? Thanks a lot anyway for your time. Pianoguysfan^talktome 08:12, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Looks good! I would shift a few of the inline citations so that all of the information is clearly referenced to a reliable source, especially since much of your proposed additions deal with information about living people. At first glance, it looks like the sections for Al van der Beek and Paul Anderson are poorly sourced, when instead you pulled most of the content from [1] and [2]. Duplicate those citations throughout the article so that all of the information is covered. Mz7 (talk) 18:36, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Mz7! I'll do that tomorrow and then I'll move it to The Piano Guys page Pianoguysfan^talktome 20:58, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
