It Got Declined. M7md Gaming (talk) 13:45, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

M7md Gaming It was blatant advertising which was rejected, not merely declined. I have now deleted it. Wikipedia is not a place for you to promote your server. If independent reliable sources write about it, let us know. 331dot (talk) 13:48, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:44:35, 3 July 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Rockandrollin85

- Draft:Mark Younger-Smith (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

My article I was creating for Mark Younger-Smith is cited as not having enough sources. I do feel I submitted a sufficient amount of information in comparison to several other artists similar to him. For example Mark Smith, the english bassist. He had maybe 3 sources and was just as notable as Mark, if not less notable. Please reconsider your decision. Mark is currently touring the US with his band The Broken Things and opening for The Cult. Thank you.

@Rockandrollin85: We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Each claim in the article that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to an in-depth, non-routine, independent article or book authored by an identifiable person and subjected to professional editorial oversight that fact-checks, discloses, corrects, and retracts that can corroborate the claim. If no such sources exist for a given claim, it must be removed wholesale. This is a hard requirement when writing about living people on Wikipedia and is NOT NEGOTIABLE. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 19:40, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Facebook, famousinterview.ca., YouTube and IMDb are not reliable sources please remove/replace. Theroadislong (talk) 20:34, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that comparison. So less is more it seems. I'm still getting mixed signals on the notability, when he is clearly as notable as other artists on this site in direct comparison. Rockandrollin85 (talk) 23:34, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Theroadislong Please see Other Stuff Exists. 71.228.112.175 (talk) 06:45, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I assume this was intended for Rockandrollin85? Theroadislong (talk) 09:53, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, my cursor jumped all by itself to the wrong name. I know that you, @Theroadislong, know more about this stuff than I do.... 71.228.112.175 (talk) 05:29, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
