The Futuristics

You deleted this page because of poor sources but after reading the general notability guidelines I'm confused as to why. The Lonely Island webpage is a credible site by a notable group, which mentions this production team as having worked with them. Please help restore this Wiki article as it meets all sufficient guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.155.161 (talk) 01:13, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi. I didn't delete the page actually, I just expressed an opinion in the discussion in favor of deletion at this time because there was no evident significant coverage for the producers in reliable sources, thus not meeting the WP:Notability or WP:MUSIC guidelines. By "significant coverage", Wiki editors typically try to find sources that "address the subject directly in detail [...] more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." So, the coverage doesn't have to be 500+ words or anything, but it should be more than just a mention within a single sentence or listing. That's considered trivial, not significant. By "sources", secondary sources are preferred for establishing notability. An article in Billboard, Rolling Stone, The Source or some other notable magazine/newspaper, a write-up on MTV.com, Pitchfork, Stereogum or some other reputable website...those are some of the types of examples of getting "coverage" from outside, objective sources. Again, the Futuristics (as with any topic) don't have to be the main focus of the article, provided there is at least more than just a one-off mention. That's why, in my view, this production team needed more than a namedrop on the Lonely Island website (and other similar passing mentions in articles and/or directories) in order to sustain an independent article. It seems The Futuristics have worked with some notable people (The Lonely Island, Chris Brown, Cody Simpson, etc) so it may just be a matter of time before that type of coverage exists (if it doesn't already). If/when it does, I'll happily support an article. I hope that helps explain where I'm coming from. Take care,  Gongshow Talk 04:05, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nicki Minaj "Super Bass"

Hello,


I created this page because I was unable to get the current Super Bass page to reflect the correct information about the song because one of the editors continues to delete my changes. http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts/currentsingles/the-billboard-hot-100 lists First Born with the credits and he should get publicity for his production work. If possible, can this page be undeleted or may I recreate it so Wikipedia has the correct information?


Thanks,

Hi Lilashad, I appreciate you wanting to avoid edit warring with another editor, but creating a virtually duplicate article in the meantime is not the solution. Since you've already tried to add the info to the "Super Bass" article, my advice is to state your case here on the article's talk page using any reliable sources you've found (perhaps like the Billboard link you mentioned). There's probably a reason why it's gotten removed, so the communication may help to reach an understanding and develop a consensus. Good luck.  Gongshow Talk 20:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for responding. I've tried to work with the page creator and he's not listening to what I have to say. Thanks again. Lilashad (talk) 02:05, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alli Live/Alli L!ve

If you come on any more of these (and they are appearing at quite a rate) you can tag them WP:CSD#G4 because of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alli L!ve, way back in November. This is a very persistent socker/hoaxer - see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SharkEmpress01. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

g4 on the 4d motion cinema article

Hi Gongshow, just wanted to drop you a note. G4 does not apply to articles that were deleted by speedy, only to ones that were deleted through an AFD. In this case, the author still hasn't corrected the advertising tone that caused the article to be deleted in the first place so one could place a G11 notice (which I did). Hope this helps.

Geraint Watkins

How about ADDING those sources you dug up in the Geraint Watkins AFD instead of making it somebody else's problem? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 20:33, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've incorporated four of the sources (plus another that was cited earlier in the AfD) into the body of the article. Hope this helps.  Gongshow Talk 04:42, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 04:48, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. I've also referenced another source mentioned elsewhere in the AfD.  Gongshow Talk 04:53, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for File:Young the Giant - My Body.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Young the Giant - My Body.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:26, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
