Deletion discussion about Greg Hoy
Hello, LorettaSweet,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Greg Hoy should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Greg Hoy.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Hi Jbhunley as this is my first full entry, can you let me know if you'd like further citations? I am new to the Wikipedia family. Unsure why your search seems thin. There are several Greg Hoys outside of independent musicians. There are others to provide.

A few, specifically: http://old.post-gazette.com/ae/20030131chorus0131fnp7.asp http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/music/2014/02/20/Local-scene-in-music-this-week-24/stories/201402200113 https://www.pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/greg-hoy-and-the-enablers/Content?oid=1334543

Thank you! Loretta LorettaSweet (talk) 22:04, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The General Notability Guidelines require A subject requires significant coverage in reliable sources to verify notability. Please see the general notability guidelines and associated criteria for specific topics. Regrettably those are all pretty much just local gig announcements with maybe a couple quotes. The notability criteria for musicians and ensembles have some more specific ways to be presumed notable such as having a single or album on any country's national music chart. Should a someone be considered notable like that though there still must be, per Wikipedia's policy of verifiability be sources out there to support what is being said in the article. I looked at the sources you have in the article when I reviewed it and, if I remember correctly, he was mentioned by name in only one of those. To write an article you should first find three independent reliable sources, like articles in major newspapers, widely circulated magazines etc that give significant coverage to the subject. Significant coverage usually means several paragraphs that talk about the subject. These sources must have strong editorial control, have a reputation for fact checking and accuracy and be by third parties who are completely independent of the article's subject ie no press releases or other promotional/advertising material. You should also read this page about writing your first Wikipedia article before you get started.  You may also want to take a look at this brief tutorial on editing talk pages. It briefly describes things like how to indent threads which make it easier to follow conversations.  Jbh  Talk  23:06, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. I've added three further citations from newspapers. LorettaSweet (talk) 01:44, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
