Your submission at Articles for creation: George Spanos (drummer) (June 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CASSIOPEIA 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:George Spanos (drummer) 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:George Spanos (drummer), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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, 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.

Hi CASSIOPEIA. Thank you for reviewing my submission and the comments you have left. I'd like to point out a few things in the hopes I give enough context for why I consider George Spanos a good fit for Wikipedia.

Firstly, All About Jazz is a very prominent Jazz publication that even has its own Wikipedia entry: All About Jazz

Secondly, a lot of the names referenced in the discography who also have their entries in Wikipedia (and are prominent figures in Jazz) already mention George Spanos in their own pages. For example, Juini Booth#Discography, Leo Genovese#Discography, Daniel Carter (musician)#Discography, and Ikue Mori#Discography are all known jazz musicians that have collaborated with George Spanos on records and they all are linking to George Spanos' Wikipedia page that doesn't yet exist. These references were added by somebody else prior to my draft.

Furthermore, if you look at the Wikipedia pages of the referenced artists you will notice that they too have very few mainstream media coverage, but, like George, have enough in the jazz space to qualify for a Wikipedia entry.

Finally, there is media coverage for George's world tours but unfortunately they are either in another language and I don't know how to quote them like this: https://actionjazz.fr/gazette/09-Gazette-03.2015.pdf, or the original page no longer exists and only an unverifiable audio recording can be found like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTMcNmXMAFU

I respect your decision to decline my submission but I would appreciated if you reconsidered given my above statements.

If you still believe that this is not enough, I would gladly search further for more sources because I believe George Spanos deserves to be on Wikipedia considering he has twice been awarded an artist visa specifically for his contributions to jazz.

Thank you. Pekalicious (talk) 05:25, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
