Talk:Stalingrad (Accept album)

About some info
Some information here was deleted from the article by an editor because they think they are not interesting enough! But I don't think so, ACCEPT's stalingrad voted as number one of 2012 by Metal Shock Finland and it was posted on the band's website. I believe that's enough reason to prove it's interesting enough to be in this article.--MetalS-W (talk) 03:08, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * MetalShockFinland is not a reliable source; it's a site run by amateur journalists. An award from that zine is not of encyclopedic relevance. You may disagree, but this talk page is not the place where you'll get anything done: better to try your luck at WP:RSN. Read the instructions first to increase your chance of success.

 * I didn't mean MetalShockFinland as a source, it was band's website that I used as the source. --MetalS-W (talk) 03:31, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * But how is that zine notable? I mean, who cares that they gave out an award? And by "who" I mean not Accept; I mean the media in general. An award is notable if other (reliable) sources notice that it was given, and those would be the one to cite unless it's clear that the award is notable (like a Nobel prize or an Emmy). The band's website doesn't add anything. Drmies (talk) 03:49, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I got you this time, thanks. --MetalS-W (talk) 03:53, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * No, I see how I wasn't clear the first time--I read "reliable source" but you were talking about something else. The thing is (and that's why I thought of the one when I should have thought of the other), usually those things go hand in hand: if a media publication is notable, it's often reliable (not for the British tabloids but that's another matter), and vice versa. And if such a publication has an award, that award in turn is usually notable. One thing leads to another, so to speak. What you need to do (if you don't mind my telling you) is to get noticed. Wikipedia probably won't help you with that--with metal zines you have to go from the bottom up, and you have to get noticed by Kerrang and all them. For a different perspective, have a look at Blabbermouth; I think I posted something on the talk page there recently. You'd think that Blabbermouth would count as reliable since they're such a big player, but that's not the case. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 03:59, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
