Please do be nice.

Please read before posting

• Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.

• If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
• If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
• If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
• If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email.
• If you are here to ask a question regarding deletion of any kind, please read this before asking, and ask only if you need further clarification or still disagree after reading. If you ask a question answered there, I'll just refer you to it anyway.
• While I will generally leave any personal attacks or uncivil comments you may make about me here, that does not mean that I find them acceptable, nor that I will not seek action against attacks that are severe or persistent.
• I reserve the right to remove, revert, or immediately archive any material on this page, but will do so only in extreme circumstances, generally that of personal attacks or outing attempts against others. I will only revision delete material on this page in accordance with the revision deletion policy, and will clearly denote the reason why.

Genvis Muça: Article

Hi, you recently deleted Genvis Muça article, can you please release the article ? I had good sources backing up everything I wrote about the artist. Thank you ! Civilizedmonkey9 (talk) 14:47, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

I forgot to mention that it is not promotion, I don't gain anything for writing this article. I've been following this artist for years, and he just recently entered the top awards in Albania. I thought people might want to know more about him and wikipedia would obviously be a good start. Civilizedmonkey9 (talk) 14:56, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Civilizedmonkey9, firstly, I looked at the two "good sources" provided, and they're, well, not. The first is a brief "profile" style blurb here [1], and having machine translated that, I also find that you word-for-word copied the machine translation. This is a copyright violation, so now knowing that, the article cannot under any circumstances be undeleted. The second source is another brief "profile" style piece here, which is also not sufficient.[2] To be a suitable subject for a Wikipedia article, there must already be a substantial quantity of reliable and independent reference material available about a subject. Your intent here seems to be to "get the word out", which is not appropriate on Wikipedia. If you would like to do that, please use a more appropriate venue such as a personal website or social media. Articles must also not have promotional tone or content, such as the use of completely inappropriate external links to an individual's Spotify page in the article text, or constant use of puff adjectives ("talented", "sizeable audience", as a couple of examples.)

It's sad because sometimes people can be popular in a country without necessarily having online articles for it as proof. Online articles are just the tip of the iceberg in my opinion. As I mentioned it earlier, I gain nothing by creating this wikipedia page, I googled his name and saw that he didn't have a wikipedia page, and I thought about creating one for him. It's also worth noting that I'm a beginner here, and I tried to do it with the few articles and information I possessed. Cheers! Civilizedmonkey9 (talk) 00:36, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

References are not required to be online, just published. If you know of, for example, reliable printed sources about a subject, those are fine to use as well. But you must write in your own words, paraphrasing the source, not copy it. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 00:43, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
