Not sure what I need to do Vidyapati2024 (talk) 01:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vidyapati2024: what do you mean? You need to provide multiple (3+) sources that are independent and reliable and have provided significant coverage of this subject, like it says in the decline notice. The draft currently provides none. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good day, regarding the sources and notability what off do I need to improve this article? RexScrivener (talk) 02:23, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RexScrivener: this draft has been rejected as not notable. No amount of editing will magic notability out of thin air.
This is your third time here, in the space of only a few days, asking about this same thing, each time creating a new thread when you've been told to just add to the previous one. Please drop this matter now. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:15, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made many changes about my wikipedia page, please review it and tell me if i need to change anything else. Thank you. Qyopy (talk) 20:54, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your "many changes" made zero improvement, the draft was rejected it will not be considered further. Theroadislong (talk) 20:58, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just made infobar, updated career section, mentioning that i have a 500 thousand streams song. Qyopy (talk) 22:02, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Qyopy "Rejected" usually means an article will not be considered further. I have checked your recent changes and you still do not pass our notability threshold for musicians, therefore do not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. Sorry. It is likely that further changes would be a waste of your time. Qcne (talk) 22:03, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What can i do for my article be approved because im a highly searched artist on various platforms and i need to get a wikipedia page. Create a new article name or what? Qyopy (talk) 22:08, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Qyopy I have reported you as a promotion-only account and you will soon be blocked from editing, and your existing articles deleted. Qcne (talk) 22:10, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah of course, but so many artists using wikipedia for promoting their shits, and writing short wikis, but when someone who’s doesn’t have that much audience and wants to promote/mention 1-2 songs on his “own” wikipedia page, then instantly get a ban and strike, and straight rip off from the platform. What a nice community. Have a nice life :) Qyopy (talk) 22:13, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Qyopy: Just because an artist has an article doesn't mean they had (or still have) any control over its content, and we generally take a dim view at best at writing an article about oneself on Wikipedia. If you have hard evidence that an artist is using Wikipedia to promote themselves, please put that info on your user talk page so we can deal with it. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 23:29, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hoe do I add sources for approval Altberry65 (talk) 20:58, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can I add internet articles, links and professional websites that affirm my credentials? Altberry65 (talk) 21:29, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Altberry65. (please don't create two topics, I've merged them together).
Writing a Wikipedia article is a really challenging task. Akin to performing in a concert when you've never played an instrument before!
Wikipedia is not a social media site but an online encyclopaedia of "notable" topics, using our special definition of notability. Please very carefully read all the advice given to you in the decline notice by @Robert_McClenon. It will answer all your questions, but, as writing an article is complex it may take some time to understand (as it would take time to learn how to play a musical instrument).
The only addition to the advice is that I would recommend the Visual Editor referencing tutorial at WP:INTREFVE which is a way to write articles and reference them correctly in an interface much like a modern word processor.
Hope that helps, let us know if you have any questions. Qcne (talk) 21:44, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am Daniel Mouyal. I paid "djmooyall23" a.k.a. Samir $50 on fiverr.com and he's doing a decent job however I notice that there are errors he's incurring and that's ok, how do I actually create the page effectively and correctly. I have been featured on ample publications as well as radio and newspaper. Please help by giving very detailed instructions on how to correct. Youalreadyknowrecords (talk) 23:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Youalreadyknowrecords: All of your sources are unusable (we don't cite IMDb or Genius, and Apple Music/iTunes is hardly any better), and the draft is insufficiently sourced and would be even if the four sources cited were acceptable. All the sources your hired mercenary proffered above are also useless - Jerusalem Post was written in part by Mouyal, while ThisIs50 and Hip Hop Since 1987 are both routine coverage at best from outlets with a less-than-stellar editorial reputation. If these are the best sources you have, the answer is "you don't". —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 00:21, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid that, by the sound of it, you have a fundamentally wrong understanding of Wikipedia (like many many people).
Promotion of any kind (a.k.a. "telling the world about" something) is forbidden anywhere in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is only interested in subjects that the world has already been told about, by reliable independent, commentators
If at some point Wikipedia has an article about you, it will not belong to you, it will not be controlled by you, it will not necessarily say what you want it to say, it may be edited by almost anybody in the world except you and your associates, and it should be based almost entirely on what people wholly unconnected with you have chosen to publish about you, not on what you or your associates say or want to say.
Please read WP:an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. ColinFine (talk) 02:14, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
