Hi Idoghor Melody,

Thanks for reviewing this submission. I've cited RIAA (the Recording Industry Association of America) which is the sole body that issues platinum certifications. I've cited ASCAP (the largest Performing Rights Organization which represents songwriters). I've cited Pitchfork (a premiere music magazine in America). Can you explain why these sources don't meet Wikipedia:Reliable sources?

Thanks,

You need to cite secondary sources to prove notability. Also, that resume was not "mysteriously deleted": it's resume information, not encyclopedic writing. Drmies (talk) 16:31, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, RandomFX. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Scott Bruzenak, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:33, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Drmies,

Thank you for referring me to the conflict of interest guideline. I've read it and made sure I am in compliance regarding the page Draft:Scott Bruzenak.

Best,

RandomFX RandomFX (talk) 17:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well? No disclosure of what seems to be an obvious conflict of interest? And that list of credits, with its primary sourcing, that's probably one of the most serious impediments to getting this article accepted. Drmies (talk) 17:56, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Drmies, thank you for bearing with me because I'm a new editor. I'm not being paid to write the article, nor am I interested in promoting the subject. However, I am interested in documenting the subject because I'm an avid listener of one of the artists he produced for (Dawn Richard). Does this constitute a conflict of interest? Regarding the credits--I'm not quite sure what primary sourcing I looked them up on the ASCAP ACE Repertory and Apple Music. Should I provide an individual link for each credit? Or perhaps omit the list of credits from the page? Some guidance here would be useful.

Thanks,

RandomFX RandomFX (talk) 18:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I meant "I'm not quite sure what primary sourcing is. I looked them up on the ASCAP ACE Repertory and Apple Music."

Hi @Drmies, I have updated the list of credits with individual references. RandomFX (talk) 21:46, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what primary sourcing is. Please see Secondary sources. Drmies (talk) 22:44, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Drmies. Can you help me understand how to do proper sourcing for album credits? When I look at most pop music albums on Wikipedia (for example V (Maroon 5 album), I see "Credits for V are adapted from AllMusic." with a reference to allmusic (https://www.allmusic.com/album/v-mw0002704238/credits) similar to what I have down for Draft: Scott Bruzenak. Is this considered a secondary source or a primary source? Perhaps the original album CD is the primary source and the online transcription of the credits is a secondary source? Thank you for bearing with me. RandomFX (talk) 16:48, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a huge difference between a few allmusic references on an album like that and dozens of em in a draft that is already sketchy in terms of sourcing. What you need to prove is notability, and you can't do that with a list of titles with primary sources. You need secondary sources to prove notability--and to produce an article that is decently sourced enough for AfC editors to pass on. Drmies (talk) 20:13, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Scott Bruzenak (November 5)

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

Does not pass the general notability guideline in its current state. The majority of references contain passing mentions.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Scott Bruzenak and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
