Submission declined on 7 October 2024 by Dan arndt (talk).

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

Comment: Fails WP:NSONG, requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Apple music, and Tidal are not acceptable independent sources, and the Ring News source is just a mention in passing. Sportskeeda is a questionable source.

I was wondering if we can acknowledge that the music video displays in a gigantic 1.43:1 implying that it was shot in IMAX. Even if it's very unlikely, we should at least address it. TheWikiEditor9001 (talk) 16:34, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Citing to the YouTube video itself is borderline WP:OR. You need a reliable source that describes the video. PianoDan (talk) 17:40, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I only just started doing things on Wikipedia, like I've used the site for years, but never contributed anything until I made a page edit account. It's so complicated. TheWikiEditor9001 (talk) 19:53, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome aboard! The page about reliable sources that I linked above is a good place to start. To take this specific example, the way you'd want to frame a request like this is to suggest exactly what language you'd want to insert, where you'd want to insert it, and give a link to a source that supports the claim.

So something like "At the end of the first paragraph in the 'video' section, please insert: "This video was filmed on a mark five potato.' Source: "Video filmed on potato," Potato Camera Digest, July 2024." PianoDan (talk) 20:20, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, sorry for the late response. I'm only now just having a read through the page. TheWikiEditor9001 (talk) 23:12, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

I'm within the thickness of it; everybody is aware of that fact. They are observant when it hails; I ski'd into the vicinity, and they were frozen. I'm not aware of any particular pieces of information in regards to frozen water; my temperature is just below the norm. I seem to possess knowledge—albeit of questionable accuracy—suggesting that I have accumulated a subscription count hovering somewhere in the general vicinity of four times ten raised to the sixth power, or so. As of right now, I am within my range of peak performance, or my prime'—alike my hydration beverage—and arguably my current performance is set to increase. I experienced a sudden and involuntary descent initiated by external forces beyond my control, yet, despite such impediments, the lower extremities of my body have once again managed to establish contact with the terrestrial surface beneath me. As it happens, I travelled forth from the comfort of my established living quarters directly towards that of my musical tours, which had record sales, leaving no seat empty. existence is just one extended combat sequence, but believe me, with my PRIME and LUNCHLY, I've got the energy levels to combat the war ahead of me. Wow, oh, oh! This is how the fictitious novel occurs. Wow, oh, oh! from virtual realms of flashing digital displays to the unforgiving trials of physical confrontation, to the meticulous strokes of ink on paper to the commanding presence seated atop the throne of authority Upon my head I have adorned a crown of glitz and glamour; it is my prized possession. As a result of this, it is a catalyst for drama Im in the thick of it It is my firm conviction that any vision residing within the depths of my heart is destined to materialise; thus, I shatter the limitations imposed overhead, propelling myself ever upward in relentless pursuit of celestial heights. The genre should be edited as pop and trap, rather than pop-rap, because the song has a skibidi beat and Trippie Redd's subgenre of hip hop is trap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2401:E180:8C10:DE2:20B:B836:988D:CB94 (talk) 09:43, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source found identifies the song as pop rap. If you can find solid evidence, as in a reliable source that calls the song trap, then we'll add it then. Otherwise it's considered original research which we generally avoid. Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 01:00, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[Chorus: KSI] I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told

[Verse 1: KSI] I'm in my prime, and this ain't even final form They knocked me down, but still, my feet, they find the floor I went from living rooms straight out to sold-out tours Life's a fight, but trust, I'm ready for the war

[Pre-Chorus: KSI] Woah-oh-oh This is how the story goes Woah-oh-oh I guess this is how the story goes

[Verse 2: KSI] From the screen to the ring, to the pеn, to the king Where's my crown? That's my bling, always drama when I ring See, I believe that if I see it in my heart Smash through the ceiling 'cause I'm reaching for the stars See upcoming pop shows Get tickets for your favorite artists
