Your submission at Articles for creation: This is a Life (song) (September 17)

Latest comment: 9 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DoubleGrazing was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This could be notable, but the sources aren't quite enough to satisfy WP:GNG, and I don't see anything there that would obviously make this notable per WP:NSONG either.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:This is a Life (song) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Are you sure this doesnt meet WP:NSONG ?

"Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label."

And many many more when you factor in the coverage of the Oscars performance. (Notably, [1] [2][3][4])

"Has won one or more significant awards or honors, such as a Grammy, Latin Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award."

The song was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song

"Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups."

I'm not quite sure what this means but all 3 featured artists have their own pages (Mitski Son Lux David Byrne) 71.233.128.226 (talk) 14:37, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi,

You've listed sources here which aren't mentioned in the draft, correct? If you add those, and resubmit, it may pass the next review.

The Oscar nomination was just that, a nomination, not a win, so that doesn't count.

And the last criterion means songs that have been recorded by different artists separately, such as eg. Unchained Melody (recorded by everyone and their dog!).
