Article

Hi, you declined my draft Article on the band Tools You Can Trust which I thought was a bit harsh. Any advice on turning your decision around? For example, to reference that they had done 3 John Peel sessions I had simple referenced the Wikipedia page listing this information, but I have now added a reference to the BBC Page about the sessions. Is this the sort of change needed. Red.commenting (talk) 11:28, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

@Red.commenting: Hi there. Fandom and Discogs are not reliable sources (see WP:RSDISCOGS and WP:FANDOM). Remove them, either replace the citations with better ones, or remove the statements they cite. The external link after "There is a reasonably active YouTube channel" is improper (see WP:ELPOINTS). Multiple references are improper. For example, plain text of "Michael Prendergast review March 1984" is not sufficient. Read Help:Referencing for beginners. "Personal Vinyl Collection" is very insufficient. You are allowed to cite liner notes from, say a vinyl, but not as you did it. You use {{cite AV media notes}}.
For an article to be in Wikipedia, you need to demonstrate notability. That means, the subject gets coverage in multiple, secondary, reliable sources, independent from the subject. The article seems to have no such references. The following do not contribute to notability: vendor listing, vendor listing, personal website, record company, whatever this is. Since the other references are improperly formatted (plain text) I cannot verify that they exist, and so do not contribute to notability.
Bear in mind, some subjects simply aren't notable enough to have articles written about them. Let me know if you have any other questions. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 14:14, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Request for c/e

Hi again, can you please copyedit my new article Rooppur pillow scandal? I created it for DYK. Mehedi Abedin 20:05, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

@Mehediabedin: Sure, I'll try to get to it soon — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 22:58, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay. I did a preliminary copyedit. I'll do a second soon. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 05:33, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
What a crazy topic! — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 05:33, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
No problem. Take your time. Yes the topic is crazy, but my country is crazier. So this is not unusual to us. :) Mehedi Abedin 17:00, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

@Fram: In case you didn't see my edit summary here, these articles cannot be PRODed since they had an AfD. Not against you bringing all 3 articles to AfD— I just wanted them split. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 15:10, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Actually, new articles created by a split can be Prodded, as the split article doesn't necessarily have the same notability as the main article (e.g. a school article can survive an AfD, but if you then split the list of headmasters to a separate article, that one can and in many cases should be prodded). I hadn't seen the recent AfD, I would have voted delete but as it was this recent, I'll not start a new one. Thanks! Fram (talk) 15:13, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Well, I didn't split away from a non list article (like in your school example). I split a purely list article into 3 parts for technical reasons (page crashed vis editor, took too long to load). But I see your point. :) — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 15:15, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Fair enough, and in any case you are free to remove a Prod for any or no reason at all, and yours was a lot better than many deprods I see. Fram (talk) 15:17, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
