Your submission at Articles for creation: Taimane Gardner (May 17)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has notability issues and tone issues. As to notability, the references given do not appear to be independent reliable sources. (If some of them are, please indicate in an AFC comment which ones are independent reliable sources, such as reviews of her performances, and reduce the number of non-independent sources.) Also, do not refer to her as "virtuoso" in the lede sentence in the voice of Wikipedia. If a review has referred to her as a virtuoso, quote and attribute it.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Taimane Gardner and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Posts to Talk Pages[edit]

The Teahouse is peculiar among Wikipedia pages in that it has top-posting. Some regular editors think that it is wrong for that reason. Please post inquiries to user talk pages at the bottoms of pages using the "new section" tab instead. I will be moving your post to the bottom of my talk page. I agree that Guitar World is an independent reliable source. Also, as you are inferring, language such as "virtuoso" that comments (favorably or unfavorably) on a person should be attributed, and it is better to leave it in the body of the article than in the lede sentence.

On a related topic, interviews are considered to be primary sources and when you are still at the draft stage, it is better not to use them. Once notability is clear and the article is accepted, I think they can be used.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:48, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
