Your submission at Articles for creation: Marchosias (music video) (April 30)

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

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. 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.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Marchosias (music video) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Marchosias (music video), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability - Note IMDB is not a reliable source

{{Help me}} Please advise what references would be appropriate for Wikipedia's guidelines for the Draft:Jason Xenopoulos article? There is a lot on thew web, but I'm not sure which website would be authoritative or not? Smashleyy (talk) 18:15, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look at the reliable sources guideline. In general, reputable news sources are considered reliable, while IMDB isn't considered a reliable source and shouldn't be used. PhilKnight (talk) 19:56, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

{{Help me}} @Username:PhilKnight Thank you so much! I do understand that IMDB is not a valid source, which is why I cited, for example, africanfilmny.org, iffr.com, variety.com, youngglory.com, speakerpedia.com. From what Wikipedia:Reliable sources shows it seems as those would be reliable, no? Should I remove the IMDB links completely? I have seen those on other Directors' Articles, which is why I included them. Thank you so much again.Smashleyy (talk) 20:39, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest removing the IMDB links. PhilKnight (talk) 19:18, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
