Your submission at Articles for creation: Big Lean (October 4)[edit]

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

Makes no credible claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. A rapper does not get over just on mixtapes or YouTube views -- and once the primary and unreliable sources which account for more than half of the "sourcing" here are discounted, there's not enough RS coverage left to give him a WP:GNG pass.

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.

Unfortunately, the issue is that the claim has to be referenced to a reliable source. That is, getting playlisted on MuchMusic would have to be mentioned in an article about him in a newspaper or magazine — it's not enough to source it to the simple presence of his video on MuchMusic's own website, because that doesn't verify how often Much did or didn't play it. And actually, none of the NMUSIC criteria can be passed just by asserting that they're true — it's the quality of sourcing that can be provided to support the claim that gives a person an NMUSIC pass, not just the fact that the claim has been made.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Big Lean (May 20)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Subject lacks notability. The only three citations I see that might be reliable are Vibe (magazine), Noisey, and The Source and I'm not sure I'm willing to agree to general notability based on those. If the article was cut down to JUST the content based on those sources there would be almost no article, at all. I also have no interest helping a blatant CoI editor self-promote. Please stop trying to use Wikipedia to move product.

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:Big Lean and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Big Lean[edit]

Hi, noticed you trying to create the Big Lean page back in 2014. Just thought I'd let you know that after 6 years that the page is now on Wikipedia! If you're still active on this then feel free to add anything I have missed. TwinTurbo (talk) 23:35, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
