Johnlavrakas (talk) 23:12, 26 November 2021 (UTC) I was told the draft I had prepared lacked significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. I have made an attempt to correct this by providing more references from external sources for the material proposed. I would like to know if this is sufficient to address the original concern. If not, what sections of text need correction? One difficulty currently is that due to covid, the Newport Symphony had been on hiatus for the past year, and general articles by news sources have expired (no longer available). Hard copies are available but it is not clear there is any way to incorporate hard copy articles into Wikipedia. Any help to improve this article would be appreciated.

 * Hello, Johnlavrakas,
 * I'm not an AFC reviewer but I noticed your draft as I'm an Oregonian. I just wanted to let you know that KylieTastic, a very experienced editor, did some work on your draft and I'll ping Rich Smith who originally reviewed the draft to see if he can respond to your queries. Editors are very busy and they wouldn't have noticed your talk page questions if you don't alert them or go talk to them on their own user talk pages.
 * You can also go for help at WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk or bring your questions to the Teahouse. Good luck! Liz Read! Talk! 21:05, 29 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi Johnlavrakas, although online sources in English are preferred for references so that readers are able to verify etc, you can use offline newspapers and magazines - See WP:INTREF3 for how to use the RefToolbar or see and . As  said I did some basic tidy edits to help, but I did not review in full, however I note that it is improved over the first submission. What reviewers are generally looking for with this type of subject is three good independent reliable sources with significant coverage to show notability. So if any of the offline sources would help please add, otherwise it's just a case of waiting for someone to get around to review. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 14:34, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
