Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Cure, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page One Tree Hill (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Article deletion

edit

Hi, I wanted to explain what the Articles for Deletion process is - it's essentially a one week discussion where editors can discuss whether or not an article meets Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion. You can participate in the discussion as well as continue to improve the article until the process is closed and a decision is made.

Offhand, I'm concerned about the page topic. This is very specific information and details like what songs play or are mentioned in which episodes tends to be something that's just a little too indiscriminate for Wikipedia's purposes. An argument could be made about including a brief mention that the Cure is mentioned in and played during some of the episodes, but a guide like this is just too specific. Something also to look at with topics like this is sourcing - to show where this is something that would need its own article you'd have to be able to show where there is coverage discussing the use or mention of The Cure in the show. The Springfield website would be considered a self-published source and even if not, this is just a transcript of the episodes, which can't show notability for the presence of the band in the show. What-Song and IMDb also cannot show notability and both websites are ones that would be seen as questionable sources at best. You also used Wikipedia, which cannot be used to source itself. What you would need would be something like a news article that discusses The Cure and One Tree Hill, or a scholarly or academic text or journal that does the same. Unfortunately most of the time show music isn't discussed or isn't heavily enough discussed for it to really justify having its own article. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:32, 14 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
