Question from Allyourfavoritebands (20:23, 27 September 2024)
[edit]I would like to create a Wikipedia page for my new music project. I've been practically preparing for this my entire life. 20 years have been invested into my musical endeavors and I am currently on the rise and turning it into a career. I would like to create an article citing my music and to ensure the accuracy of the information portrayed on WikiPedia --Allyourfavoritebands (talk) 20:23, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Allyourfavoritebands: On Wikipedia, we need proof that your project is notable enough to warrant its own article. This means it must be supported by reliable sources that are independent of your project. (Also, take a look at Wikipedia:Verifiability and the links I've put in this response.) Since you were the one who made this project, you could also have a conflict of interest and I suggest you take a look at this guide to managing a conflict of interest. It is strongly discouraged for you to create an article on this project yourself, because you would be biased and therefore may not write in a way that adheres to our neutrality policy. If your project is truly notable, someone else will create an article about it when the time is right. Cheers, and let me know if you have any further questions Relativity ⚡️ 20:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
