Your submission at Articles for creation: Raining Pleasure Discography (February 8)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

To be specific, Wikipedia is not a reliable source as it can be edited by anyone. Neither is Discogs, for the same reasons. You need to provide better sources than those to show notability.

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 User:StamOS B/Raining Pleasure Discography and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

@Chess: Thanks for the notice and advice. Since the band's official page www.rainingpleasure.gr does not exist anymore, I was unable to find any other discography source more reliable than Discogs. Also, the old version of Wikipedia article that I'm referred to (https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Raining_Pleasure&oldid=3142673) was partly edited by me, and that information was gathered those days from the band's official page as well as my private record collection, since I happen to own almost every record release of the band! So you can understand than a lot of this information is no longer available on the internet. If you still believe that my sources are inadequate, I'll keep searching to find some more (a little difficult I suppose...) and re-edit. StamOS B (talk) 08:16, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@StamOS B: Thank you for pinging me. You can use sources that are no longer online by using the Internet Archive at archive.org, though it may be difficult given the website you've mentioned uses Flash. I should add on it also wouldn't demonstrate notability, as sources have to be independent and the band's website is not independent of the band itself.

It is acceptable to cite offline sources if you want, such as physical magazines or newspapers, though it'll be more difficult for reviewers to verify these sources so it'll take longer for your draft to be reviewed. The sources don't have to be in English either. I'm mentioning this because I assume it'll be easier to find those kinds of sources given the time and place the band played in.

Let me know if you have any more questions. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 13:31, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
