WikiGurrrL, the article has been undeleted and removed to draft space, at Draft:Rodleen Getsic, for you to make those improvements. Yngvadottir (talk) 15:24, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Please help me with... This conversation! Please help answer my questions regarding establishing "notability" for Rodleen Getsic. She is a musician that has sang as a supporting vocalist on albums. She is also an actress, film producer, and she has done public service internationally. I feel like these guys are all ganging up on me, in my attempt to figure this out. I wish more people would get involved in the conversation - that could actually help me toward restoring her Wikipedia article. The fact is, Rodleen Getsic has several reasons why she should have a Wikipedia article. I intend to figure out how to make this happen by finding "reliable sources". Thank you for your time.

- I don't think you need anyone else in that conversation, they have already given some great advice to guide and help you. If I were you I would ask them to place the article in Draft space so you can work on it. You will need to find sources which meet WP:RS.McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 01:24, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Thank you McMatter for responding to my quest for help. I have read the WP:RS but I still do not fully understand what makes something a "reliable source". They did put the article in draft space, but it is all just confusing for me to understand, really just getting "reliable sources". One of the dudes said I should just give up. I will if I have to, but first I need to understand why this singer is not "notable" when she has been on albums, including a platinum album, and she has been written up in magazines, not only for her singing but also for her film Bunny Game.
I checked out the Teahouse. Do you think I should go there to talk to others who might be able to explain how "reliable sources" works? I guess it's the technical way things are explained that I just need help understanding. WikiGurrrL (talk) 03:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- You need to understand what reliable sources are, but you also need to understand what WP:NOTABILITY is in relation to Wikipedia articles. Being on a few albums, being in an indie film, allegedly doing public service are not guarantees of notability per Wikipedia guidelines. I know several people who could all honestly claim the same, and none of them have the notability needed that warrants an article in Wikipedia. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 03:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
