Lovejoy (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not appear to meet WP:NMUSIC, and sources are almost entirely music charts, so does not appear to satisfy the WP:GNG either. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 17:41, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Found some news articles about them (not sure how reputable this particular site is): https://www.sportskeeda.com/minecraft/tommyinnit-karl-jacobs-join-minecraft-community-celebrating-launch-wilbur-soot-s-band-lovejoy and https://www.sportskeeda.com/minecraft/what-legend-wilbur-soot-praises-minecraft-streamer-georgenotfound-one-take-performance-taunt-music-video AFJGIRL (talk) 01:22, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added them to the page AFJGIRL (talk) 15:32, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

How do i fix this then? I really dont know how it works. -pwnda — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pwnda (talk • contribs) 09:13, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You would need to add reliable sources, if there are more, that demonstrate the band meets our notability requirements. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 15:04, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Im in the proccess of adding more sources, and information currently Pwnda (talk) 10:47, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

I added alot more info, and sources in the article. Does it meet the requirements now? Pwnda (talk) 12:15, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:RS. Tweets, YouTube videos, and Reddit posts do not contribute towards establishing notability, and should usually be avoided as sources. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 15:19, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

What are reliable sources then? Like news articles? Pwnda (talk) 15:50, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I linked the policy above, but to provide it again: WP:RS. WP:RSP also provides a quick list of commonly-used sources and whether we generally consider them to be reliable. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 17:11, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

But most of my sources are official. Such as the streams being literally by Wilbur Soot. (the reason why the stream are vods on youtube is because wilbur has privated/removed past streams (including this vod) in his twitch) It doesnt count even though the sources listed directly feature some sort of relation to the band? Like ive also seen some articles that uses youtube videos as sources Pwnda (talk) 15:04, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Not to be blunt but, official doesn’t mean reliable. Wikipedia has much higher notability standards than websites such as Fandom and others, and needs reliable sources such as published news articles due to its frequent usage as an educational source. Hope this helps :) AFJGIRL (talk) 17:45, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

I cant really find any news articles, or any of the commonly used sources that relates to Lovejoy. Pwnda (talk) 15:08, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

 Merger proposal  I think this page should be merged into Wilbur Soot as he is the frontman for the band and already notable in popular media for his music among other things. I can do the merge if given the ok. AFJGIRL (talk) 15:35, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

I agree to merge it to Wilbur Soot, if i get an answer with the last posts. Pwnda (talk) 15:43, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi GorillaWarfare, sorry for the ping but is it okay if I merge the page into Wilbur Soot? Thanks :) Millee (she/her) (talk) 11:04, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure, no objection from me. I'll withdraw this AfD since there's agreement among all participants. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 15:37, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
