Your submission at Articles for creation: Dymaxion (band) (December 10)

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

Fails WP:NMUSICIAN, requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Their record label's website is not an independent source. Discogs is not an acceptable or reliable source. A Radio station playlist is not significant coverage.

December 2019

As I identified in my comments:

- the band's record label, Duophonic Records, whilst it might be a notable label, using their website as a reference is using a primary source - which is not acceptable. You need to find alternative supporting references confirming their releases on the label (avoid using music retail/download websites, as they aren't considered independent). From the references I have searched their album, DYMAXION×4+3=39:21, was released in the US by Roomtone Records and in the UK, under licence, by Duophonic. Noting that there has only been one album that the band has released.

- Discogs is not an acceptable or reliable source, as it is primarily user-generated.

- WFMU is a community based radio station based in New Jersey. There is no evidence that they have "been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio network", only locally.

- The Tiny Mix Tapes and Exclaim! references are good - needs however to demonstrate 'significant coverage', so a bit more than a single album review would help.

It is probably borderline at the moment, so with a few more good reliable secondary sources it should tip the balance for me. Dan arndt (talk) 01:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

I would second this comment by Dan arndt "The draft article states that the band was but doesn't given any indication when they formed and when they broke up." The draft still doesn't address that. Perhaps you could add more information about the band itself rather than just album reviews, which doesn't establish why they are notable.
