Disambiguation link notification edit

Hi. When you recently edited Indie pop, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Twee (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

May 2012 edit

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Northolt. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Charles (talk) 12:47, 15 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

My Beautiful England edit

I've redirected the article, could you explain if possible how it passes the notability guidelines WP:GNG (general) or WP:NALBUM (albums)? The sources are non-reliable, routine, or non-independent. Many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 10:21, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Thank you for the message. I hope the following will answer the query satisfactorily.
The proposed new page adds to a body of existing, long-standing information on Wikipedia.
The new recording received significant coverage in a reliable source - respected and reliable (hard-copy) popular-music periodical Uncut (October 2022 issue), referenced on the proposed page. Uncut is a secondary source, capable of offering objective evidence of notability; it is independent of the artist who created the work. The periodical covered the album directly and in detail: the coverage was no trivial mention.
Selections from the recording have been played on rotation on BBC 6-Music, a major national radio network. The following three 6-music shows (all noted on Wikipedia) have featured several selections from the recording: Radcliffe & Maconie; Gideon Coe; Steve Lamacq.
I appreciate that the reference to a Facebook post may stick out as lacking and/or non-independent, but this was included consciously for the purpose of supporting information about the date the artefact was announced for issue. Likewise, references to the issuing record company's sources are intended to support information about particular dates. This information is not strictly necessary for inclusion on the proposed page, and I am happy to remove such information and references from the content if the supporting sources are felt to reduce the quality of what I intend as a good-faith, objective addition to exiting, related information on Wikipedia.
Kind regards, Del71 Del71 (talk) 11:02, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
While per WP:A/S Uncut is RS, it's still only one ref, WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM need multiple reliable, independent refs that constitute of significant coverage. Also, is it a full review or just a routine announcement? The ref states it was covered in one page, but if it is possible could you provide more info to show that it is indeed SIGCOV? Thanks! However, your claim that it played in rotation is convincing- but if you could provide a reliable ref to demonstrate that, I'd be happy to restore the original text. However, the non-independent and self-published sources need trimming and removing. Many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 20:47, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
