A summary of some site policies and guidelines, and regarding your edit to Vaporwave

 * "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * Wikipedia is not a general discussion forum, additions to talk pages should be about improving the article within the guidelines, not voicing one's opinion on the subject matter.
 * 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).
 * Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources.  Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.

Regarding your edit to Vaporwave, that message was there to keep the page from being cluttered by bands that no one outside of their fanbase cares about -- in other words, bands which do not have independent coverage in reliable sources. It has nothing to do with being a hipster, it has to do with not mucking up the site with bands whose only existence can be demonstrated through soundcloud pages that any one who can record something can make.

Hello, I'm Puffin. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Vaporwave with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  Puffin  Let's talk! 00:59, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
