Some important info about how Wikipedia works

 * "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
 * It is recommended that you do not add anything relating to yourself to article space, and it is expressly forbidden to use Wikipedia to promote anything about yourself.
 * Noone owns any article here, or even their edits to articles. At the top of the edit page, it says "Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone," which means that if you don't want someone to change or even remove what you add, then you need to use another site.

In short, Wikipedia is not the place to promote your music career. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:45, 7 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Once again, Wikipedia's standards are not "true" or "interesting." Our standard is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."  In other words, there needs to be professional journalistic coverage about you, not just a Google search (because anyone can end up on Google, it actually takes work to have social media accounts and not to end up on Google).  Also, Wikipedia is not here for you to promote your music career.  I'm repeating myself, and have bolded and italicized the points where I answered your question last time.  Please read them this time.  Ian.thomson (talk) 01:41, 19 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Other musicians and bands are covered because professionally created and published books, shows, and articles from magazines and newspapers have discussed those musicians, their work, and their lives. Those sources were not written by the musicians, nor by anyone working with or for the musicians.  In other words, those sources are independent, as I explained in my last post.
 * Also, our articles about musicians are, again, not written by the musicians themselves, nor by anyone affiliated with them. They were written by volunteers.  What is meant by "Wikipedia is not the place to promote your music career" is "Wikipedia is not a place for anyone to promote their own career, whatever it may be."  In other words, Wikipedia is not the place to promote your music career. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:01, 19 November 2016 (UTC)


 * It really doesn't matter how much you argue with me: Wikipedia is NOT the place to promote YOUR career. That goes for everyone.  If you do not want to abide by that, then you should leave.  If you are not here to build an encyclopedia, you can be blocked.  Ian.thomson (talk) 07:37, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
