Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/With Dead Hands Rising

Hello, I believe that Lambgoat is also a reputable source as it is ranked within the top 20,000 websites in the United States as per Alexa: https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/lambgoat.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinnesotan (talk • contribs) 16:55, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
 * A few things, this isn't where we're discussing the article's deletion, that's happening at the project page, not its talk page. Second, the Alexa rating of a sit doesn't really correspond to its reliability (which you've conflated with reputability). The entry in question, https://lambgoat.com/news/1953/Life-Sentence-inks-With-Dead-Hands-Rising, is problematic on a few fronts: it has no author, it's short and doesn't go into the topic in-depth (WP:ROUTINE, which I mention in the AfD). What we're looking for is
 * significant coverage
 * in reliable sources
 * that are independent of the subject
 * The first is not met so it fails. The source is reliable for interviews and reviews, but not when it tweaks the copy on a press release and pushes it out as content. Since we don't know the author, we don't know if the third has been met. Run all of the sources you find through those three filters to determine if it's useful in helping to establish notability for the band. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:05, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
