May I ask why you failed the article after placing it on hold? It hasn't even been one day - the hold period should be at least seven days. You also didn't leave any comment about this at the review. Seraphim System ^(talk) 16:33, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Seraphim System - are you talking about United States recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel? I haven't failed it. My last edit at the article was to place it on hold. It appears it was returned to the queue by another editor which triggered Legobot to send a failure notification on my behalf (see:[1]). If you want to discuss it with them I can continue the review assuming they didn't feel there was a hard failure issue. Chetsford (talk) 17:27, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk Archive comments

Would you mind if redacted some personal identifying info left by Jonreillythr (talk · contribs) at User_talk:Chetsford/Archive_7? We could also use the {{NOINDEX}} template to hide the page from Google. I don’t want the real person to get confused with the impersonator after a Google search? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billhpike (talk • contribs)

Hey Billhpike - good idea about the No Index, I'll apply it now! In terms of redaction, I have a friend who has access to the Cision database and ran several variations of Jonreillythr's name and it appears it's entirely fabricated (i.e. there's no one at the WSJ, LA Times, Variety, etc.) with that name. Chetsford (talk) 02:59, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

I was thinking that the name could be confused with Jason L. Riley. Thanks for helping clean up. BillHPike (talk, contribs) 03:02, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

References

Hello, my article has been rejected. Can you help me with the references ? I don't understand what's wrong. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sianasix (talk • contribs) 04:18, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Sianasix - the issue has to do with the reliability of the references you provided. You may just want to take a quick read of WP:RS. Let me know if you have any questions! Chetsford (talk) 05:03, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Looping back on "Henry Hey"

Hello Chetsford! I had a thread with you earlier about sources for Draft:Henry Hey. I've added sources, and another user helpfully combined the Allmusic references. As of right now the photo is not approved but I have forwarded along a permission email from the photographer to Wikimedia. I mostly want to check in with you before I resubmit - you were helpful in answering my questions before and I hope you have some insight so the page can have the best chance of being approved.

- You said the page may be on the edge of eligibility for a Music Bio; is there a way to specify that (I don't want it submitted as a bio of living person)?

- Right now the page has a New Yorker article, an NPR article, two Rolling Stone articles, and pieces from Hollywood Reporter, Pitchfork, Billboard, Spin, and Variety. In addition there are Discogs, Allaboutjazz, a couple of smaller sites, a commercial review from Yamaha and the extensive Allmusic credits. IMDB is no longer cited, but is listed as an external link. Do you think this is enough to establish notability?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tgale34 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Several of the sources you have - while reliable - don't actually contain any mention of Henry Hey other than listing his name. That said, the New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and NPR articles contain substantial enough mention that I think it would pass the WP:GNG. The only thing I would caution, before resubmitting it, is that this is a very long article heavily sourced to unreliable sources like discogs.com and allmusic.com. Probably 80% of AfCs are for random garage bands no one has heard of and, I think, AfC reviewers see music bios and spend 20 seconds reviewing them since they almost all fail. Objectively, this should pass if you resubmit it, however, don't be surprised if it doesn't. If I were you I'd edit this down to a four sentence stub sourced entirely the New Yorker, NPR, Rolling Stone and maybe one or two other quality sources you can find. Once it's approved, you could then revisit it and expand it. Chetsford (talk) 20:15, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for the solid advice. I will go ahead and do that.Tgale34 (talk) 00:08, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
