Talk:In Full View

I'm attempting to write an article about the album. If the person who released the album is of little to no notoriety, then the article about that person shouldn't be here either.Maggie The Doggie (talk) 22:57, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

• I think I get what you are saying, even though you didn't seem to say it clearly. And no, that is not correct. It is very possible for a singer to have an article, and yet none of their albums themselves are notable enough for an article. This would be the case if the singer themselves received a lot of press coverage (for whatever reasons) but the albums didn't chart or get coverage. Not every album of every musician passes the notability test, even if the musician themselves do. And it isn't up for deletion, it was just tagged as being suspect. Once notability is established (ie: a link to show it charted, coverage by reliable sources, etc.) then someone will remove the tag. Because you are the primary contributor, it wouldn't be cricket for you to, however. Dennis Brown (talk) 23:04, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

References

You can't use Wikipedia as a source to show where an album charted. You can always go to that page, go look at the source that is making the claim, and use THAT source, assuming it passes WP:RS (most of the time it does if it is already there). Wikipedia is considered a 3rd party reference, the artist would be 1st party, newspapers, magazines, reliable websites are 2nd party, which is what you need to verify a factual claim. And as long as some of the singles charted, I very well doubt you would have to worry about anyone deleting the page, btw. Dennis Brown (talk) 23:27, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
