Question regarding citations

[edit]

I notice that a similar page, the one for Daniel Bélanger's album Rêver mieux, has a complaint stating that it requires citations. I don't really understand this, since the information there is easily obtainable by either looking at the album cover, or visiting Mr. Bélanger's own website. It is not an opinion (which is what I associate citations with); it is easily verifiable fact. What sort of citation would such information require? I would happily add it, but I am not clear what is needed. beerslayer (talk) 07:44, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles need citations to prove notability, as well as to verify facts. It is true that one can go to other websites to look up the information, but that is the same as saying there is no need for this article in Wikipedia, since the information is available elsewhere, and probably more reliable. By using citations, you tell others why the facts are correct here, and also that this album is notable and should be kept in Wikipedia. Articles without citations can be recommended for deletion (RfD) for lack of notability. Mburrell (talk) 17:33, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
