Bristol

Hi Birdkendall, why do you keep adding the category Musical groups from Bristol to a bunch of different artists that are not even from Bristol? You did this with Snow Ghosts and Meadowlark (band). Please explain. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 01:32, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Meadowlark are a Bristol based band, a quick Google search of the words "Meadowlark", "band" and "Bristol" should bring up their social media pages, displaying that they now consider themselves to be 'from' Bristol. Some members of Snow Ghosts are from Bristol, perhaps not enough members to constitute them as being from Bristol? Then again, if a few members of the band were London based I'm sure there'd be less objections to them being categorised as 'from London', as I've witnessed numerous times on here. Hope this helps!

It helps explain your reasoning, but it doesn't justify the categorization. Social media pages are not considered to be reliable sources on Wikipedia, so unless you can provide a non-primary source that mentions that the band is from Bristol, meaning not that some of its members originate there but that the band has its foundational origins there, then you need to stop adding that category. Thank you. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 05:18, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So a band won't know where they're from to state such on their own social media? I stated a magazine source but it's been deleted? It's a Bristol based band which means they're from Bristol. I think you're confusing the 'origin' aspect with being from somewhere. If a group live and work out of a particular place that's where they're from. It would be ridiculous if only a place in which they initially got together counted as being where they're from. What if they were only there for a week? What about solo artists? What counts as their foundational origin? Where they were living when they first started making music? What if they've lived in another place for decades and are only associated with that place?

How about this link? Shall I put this one or is that going to get deleted as well? https://musomuso.com/introducing/introducing-bristol-based-dynamic-duo-meadowlark

See how it says 'BRISTOL BASED'? Birdkendall (talk) 01:42, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to get sarcastic, just look up the rules on using social media as sources: WP:Reliable sources.Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:25, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Motion Bristol (August 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sionk 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 organizations and companies). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Being voted 11th best club in a DJ magazine doesn't appear to be a major accolade. Subject needs more coverage in mainstream sources.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Motion Bristol and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
