Your submission at Articles for creation: Suspect208 (November 16)

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

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Suspect208 and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Suspect208, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Your draft article, Draft:Suspect208

Hello, Metalcub. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Suspect208".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:27, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

wallofsoundau.com

I noticed after I reverted that wallofsoundau.com lists its editorial board under https://wallofsoundau.com/contact/ but the reviewer would still fail as he is not professional. Should I ask about it at WP:RSN or are you OK with not including it? Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:16, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is considered professional by standards of Wiki? I know the owner/editor/reviewer has made global headlines for their work and worked in the radio industry for 10 years and the music industry. This website constantly is credited by others across the world, just interested to see why it shouldn't be included? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalcub (talk • contribs) 04:12, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Jinjer reviewer at https://wallofsoundau.com/2021/08/23/jinjer-wallflowers-album-review/ is listed as kjdraven. The staff and contributing editors are listed at https://wallofsoundau.com/contact/ and kjdraven (or even raven) are listed there. This seems to be a user-generated review or what we call WP:USERGENERATED.\

You could go to WP:RSN to ask there. I'm just one editor, and this is my take. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:54, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

October 2021

Hello, I'm Victor Lopes. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, A View from the Top of the World, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Victor Lopes ^Fala!•C 16:24, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest in regards to Wall of Sound

Hello, Metalcub. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

This constant addition of citations almost exclusively to Wall of Sound across Wikipedia is basically promotion. You saying above, "I know the owner/editor/reviewer has made global headlines for their work and worked in the radio industry for 10 years and the music industry. This website constantly is credited by others across the world" sounds like you are the "owner/editor/reviewer", because I wouldn't believe somebody else would speak about a writer on a review blog in such glowing terms. If you are them or are somehow a friend of the person in question, you must declare this conflict of interest. Wikipedia does not exist to serve as a platform for you to plant links into to drive more traffic to your own or favourite website. Ss112 18:39, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
