 * Hi @Zxcvbnm, thanks for the feedback. I've created a new draft for all Papa Louie games that therefore expands my article, and therefore sources that have covered this: Draft:Papa_Louie_(game_series)
 * I can currently add more within my development/gameplay section but cannot find if this source is reliable: https://gameluster.com/review-papas-freezeria-deluxe-sundae-fundae/
 * After doing a sweep it seems they have an experienced senior staff and employed writers, though I do not see it listed anywhere in VG sources. Apart from this though, I have added IGN, Apple, AG.ru, and other 'mixed' sources such as Dexerto, GameRant, TheGamer, and PCGamer. Squiddyonwiki (talk) 20:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've never seen GameLuster used on Wikipedia before. I'd err on the side of "unreliable" - much of the staff seems like students or freelancers, and a few of the editors don't even have pictures. It screams blog to me and if I wouldn't use it for a major game, we shouldn't make an exception for a minor one either.
 * My source analysis: (1) is a database entry, so it doesn't count towards notability. (2) is a primary source. (3) is TheGamer, SIGCOV and counts towards notability. (4/6) is GameRant, Valnet site and doesn't count towards notability. (5) HG101, counts towards notability but SIGCOV unclear. (7) Dexerto, content farm and doesn't count towards notability. (8/9) are database entries, no notability. (10) is arguably a primary source due to the advertising motive. (11) PCGamer, a reliable source but clearly trivial coverage of the series as a whole. (12) GameLuster, probably not notable.
 * My overall verdict is that there is 1 obvious SIGCOV (TheGamer), and 1 that I don't think is SIGCOV but some might say it is (HG101). Given the typical basis of 3 reliable, significant sources to pass GNG it's not quite there yet in my opinion. Hope that helped. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I really appreciate all this feedback with in depth explanations. If you can tell I'm pretty passionate about this and am confident I can bring it to publishing status! Will continue to work on it. Squiddyonwiki (talk) 21:43, 4 May 2024 (UTC) Squiddyonwiki (talk) 21:43, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, looks like I've done all I can -- added a print source, other SIGCOV (TheGamer, HG101, Gamezebo, Pocket Gamer) ... going to submit, and hoping for the best. Appreciate your guidance and experience @Zxcvbnm Squiddyonwiki (talk) 15:27, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm going to allow someone else to review the page, since I already rejected your page once before, but I would almost definitely turn down this one too, unfortunately. I did note the additional GameZebo source existing before, but it is solely about one game rather than the series in general, and a ground rule on Wikipedia is that notability cannot be inherited, otherwise there would be a studio article for every video game simply because it was notable by association. There is precedent for lists being created out of otherwise individually non-notable things, but this wouldn't pass WP:LISTN either.
 * A common error with new editors is thinking that they can WP:OVERCOME lack of notability with sheer effort. It's helpful to read the aforementioned essay there whether or not your page gets rejected. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:48, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I think that there is a possibility it also gets accepted because people have differing opinions on GameRant as proof of notability. But I vehemently believe it is not. There are just so many generally low-effort articles that they pump out that if it really was the case, we'd have an article on every Pokemon, every Street Fighter character, etc. but they'd all be bad. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Kiner Music. Thanks! -- NotC hariza rd 🗨 06:13, 7 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks @Notcharizard! Newer here -- I've noticed when I use the basic edit to add a source that I've already cited, it re-populates and recognizes itself as a different source -- if that makes sense.
 * Is there an article that can show me how to cite something multiple times without having to fill the reference list with it over and over again?
 * For example, let's say I want to cite a source referenced as source #12. If I want to cite this source again, how do I make sure it's still cited as sourced #12 rather than creating a whole other number? Squiddyonwiki (talk) 06:19, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I usually use the visual editor for references rather than code, where you go to "cite" and there's an option for "re-use" (next to "manual" and "automatic").
 * Having a look at the code in a draft in my sandbox, it looks like the coding is basically   and then later to use the same reference you can just do   and that should work. -- NotC hariza rd  🗨 06:29, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks! this was really helpful and I implemented it in my other drafts. Appreciate it! Squiddyonwiki (talk) 17:16, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

On your user page it says "I mainly make/suggest edits in articles that I have a personal connection to or are related to my job." I'm assuming you mean things you have an interest in and learn about through your job, but I think be careful with wording, because on Wikipedia "personal connection" often means in a conflict of interest type way. -- NotC hariza rd 🗨 12:46, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
