Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is substantially different than the previous page that was flagged for deletion. In this new version I have added more external information to show the importance of this musical band. I have also been given permission by the band to use their images but the permission is via Facebook. I've just asked them for an email with permission. Please give me a few days to correct this. --Martiniano (talk) 22:37, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for giving me time. The band will begin making updates directly soon. Martiniano (talk) 19:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Source

appalachianjamwich.com is a blog and does not meet the criteria of a Wikipedia reliable source. The album is self published as well.

Edit in question:

Wider Circles (2015, independent self-release)^[1]

Please stop your harassment. That's all I'm going to say. Skyerise (talk) 17:46, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if you feel that way seriously, I'm only curious about the source of the edit from a different user on Rising Appalachia (above). It's not personal. I discovered this band from the edits over at Game of Thrones. It looks very interesting. I hope we can keep Wikipedia from anything that's not professional or civil-minded. It should be fun. In all sincerity, thank you for listening. 104.173.225.10 (talk) 18:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstand the restriction against blogs. Only personal, self-published blogs are unreliable. A topical blog with multiple contributors and an editorial policy is allowed. Your harassment has been reported. Bugger off. Skyerise (talk) 18:09, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I had an opportunity to visit the music blog you want to use as a reference. See http://www.appalachianjamwich.com/2015/02/13/rising-appalachia-launches-the-wider-circles-rail-tour-in-advance-of-new-album/

Here's the Wikipedia policy about the proper use of blogs: "Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control.

"Self-published material may sometimes be acceptable when its author is an established expert whose work in the relevant field has been published by reliable third-party publications.

Here's how the blog describes itself: "A magazine by the fans for the fans, Appalachian Jamwich has taken the region by storm and we have dedicated ourselves to bringing the scene we love and care about to the general public. GET JAMWICHED!"

It doesn't appear that the blog meets the Wikiepdia requirements of (1) estalbish news outlet, (2) writers are professional journalists (3) or are writers established experts in the field.

Can you find another source?104.173.225.10 (talk) 21:47, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
