07:58:26, 27 April 2017 review of submission by AravindTreddy
Hello, I started writing about this Dj/Producer from India "Murthovic". First time I haven't given any references for the article, But now I made few changes along with the references and this artist got only these links as references(I could'nt find more).The references used are genuine. Please suggest me how to proceed further. Can I use social media links too ??
 * Reply - it appears to me that the sources are not likely to advance your cause much, due to the publishers you have chosen, as well as the Primary sources that you have used. To better understand notability on Wikipedia, ie, how to select a subject matter that is notable enough for a Wikipedia entry, in this field I would recommend you review the following: MUSICBIO.

I've gone back in forth with the person who reviewed my article. They are saying that the sources used are not notable.

"Focusing only with the best major independent news in significant publications, and not simply announcements, notices or even trade publications as these won't be as significant in notability. Sources such as announcements, interviews, press releases, notices or similar are unconvincing for notability as they're simply not significant here; what we need is genuine major independent news in significant publications; also, notability cannot be inherited from others."

I have included sources from The New York Times, Huffington Post, Fox News, and Washington Times among others. In addition, the articles linked are not self-promotion, press releases, or announcements. Jyanker (talk) 15:18, 27 April 2017 (UTC)jyanker


 * No-one is saying that "the sources used are not notable". I suspect they're saying that the sources used do not establish that the subject is notable. For example, the New York Times article does not help to establish that the subject is notable, as it is not independent, but appears to be based on an interview with Ms. Staker. And the Huff Post article only has a brief mention of Brain Chase, not the significant discussion that would help to establish notability. You need to find reliable independent published sources with significant discussion of the subject. And if you've already done that (I haven't checked), it would help if you removed most of the others, such as the NYT one and the Huff Post one, so as to make it easier for a reviewer to find the good ones.

How do I improve my submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable?
