Draft talk:Free Methodist Church in Southern California

Tips for hard-to-obtain secondary sources?

Many of the details come from emails and recollections collected by people from the organization itself. I've obtained copies of the materials and attempted to clean up the dates, names, and details to better reflect the history of the organization without a specific religious orientation. I'm not sure that's enough to meet Wikipedia standards, though, and I'm wondering if anyone with experience obtaining hard-to-find secondary sources has advice on how to best approach this.

Unfortunately almost nobody will see your questions here; the WP:Teahouse is a better place to ask. I don't have tips for finding sources, but to satisfy notability requirements, you need to include independent, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of the church. The article should be primarily based on such sources, and not what the church says about itself. All information in Wikipedia articles must be verifiable, meaning it should be in a published, reliable source. Unpublished materials such as emails and private documents cannot be used. However, published sources do not have to be online. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 23:39, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
