{{Lafc|username=MuddySloth|ts=19:36:17, 12 March 2021|draft=Draft:We're_Out_of_Cornflakes}}
Just had an article rejected, I wanted to see what was wrong. it says "references" but I'm not sure what other references would be needed.
I've included the subject website along with dates. Any assistance on what else is needed would be appreciated, thanks.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshua Gooden (talk • contribs)

@Joshua Gooden: none of the sources used in the current draft are particulary reliable. It would help the respondees over here if you were to ask a question, rather than having us trying to guess what your question is when you came here. If you want to do so now, there is an "edit" link next to the section header Victor Schmidt (talk) 06:55, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From what I have read, it's currently way to early for an article for that film. As far as I can tell, it is still in the planning phase, so there is no evidence how this meets WP:NFILM or complys with WP:NOTNEWS. Victor Schmidt (talk) 16:13, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Draft article by Jejsiguoa

Hello! I created a draft article at Draft:List of Indian under 20 Records in Athletics on 20 February 2021, with reliable government sources and good standards. But the article has been declined. May I know the reason for declination??? --- Jejsiguoa(talk), 2:49, 7 March 2021

Your draft was declined by User @Devonian Wombat: - easiest way would be ton ask the editor on their talk page but I also pinged them here. CommanderWaterford (talk) 10:44, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

02:56:58, 7 March 2021 review of submission by Pyeargin


Pyeargin (talk) 02:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]


I was confused as to why the article got declined after I made the requested changes, removed all marketing speak, and then connected the verbiage I did use to other already approved Wikipedia articles for "Marketplace" and "knowledge market".

Please let me know what the issue is?

Thanks! Peter

Hi Pyeargin. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. The draft was rejected because the topic is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). You may be underestimating how difficult it is to justify a stand alone encyclopedia article about a company. It's unrealistic to expect a small, privately held startup less than a year old to have attracted sufficient notice from the world at large to warrant inclusion. No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability, so volunteers do not plan to review the draft again. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:14, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

08:14:43, 7 March 2021 review of draft by Chillabit


Hi. You can delete my draft. I made a regular page for it. I didn't realize this was only for unconfirmed users. Apologies. Chillabit (talk) 08:14, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chillabit This is not only for unconfirmed users; it's for anyone who would like someone else to look at a draft before it is placed in the encyclopedia, which is the best thing to do unless one has a great deal of experience in article creation. 331dot (talk) 09:57, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

12:56:01, 7 March 2021 review of submission by King Februarius

I made a draft for an article about a university but it got rejected but i thought universities made good articles and were significant King Februarius (talk) 12:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

King Februarius Universities are subject to the same notability definition as every organization. You must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the university, showing how it meets that notability definition. At one point, the mere existence of a university merited it an article, but that was depreciated years ago. As such, an article about a university must do more than tell of its existence and offerings. 331dot (talk) 12:58, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

14:02:31, 7 March 2021 review of submission by Femtasticx

Hello. I need some help. I understand the reasons this draft was rejected. I was proud I added a lot of references, but I understand more doens't always mean better and that references need to be reliable. Do you think there might be some way this page will work? I understand it's a tricky subject, but they exsist and I wanted the page to be some kind of overview of all the info there is about them. I can delete references to social media etc, but is it enough? Do you have suggestions of what I can add? Were the articles okay? Please help me out. Thanks in advance. Femtasticx (talk) 14:02, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Femtasticx, These days, Wikipedia does not have many articles about porn performers. It is fairly difficult to be notable as a porn performer. You need coverage in the mainstream press. My guess is they do not currently meet our guideline. Unless you can find coverage of them in several national newspapers, your best bet is making them a profile on a pornstar wiki of some kind, not Wikipedia.

02:38:00, 8 March 2021 review of submission by 45Boomer

I've gotten all credible sources and shortened bio and still my wiki page isn't getting added.

45Boomer (talk) 02:38, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 45Boomer. Not everyone is a suitable subject for an encyclopedia article. In the Heavy.com piece, Boomer describes how he has never gotten "the call". Once he gets the call, and appears in at least one NFL regular season or post-season game, then a Wikipedia article will be justified, not before. See WP:NGRIDIRON for the nitty gritty details. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:37, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

03:59:05, 8 March 2021 review of submission by AmberLovesEverything

Hello There, I'm making an article for Internet animation, I want some editors to improve my article, Is there an way with editors improving and add details on my article, is it okay with that? AmberLovesEverything (talk) 03:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AmberLovesEverything, to create an article on Wikipedia it should be notable meaning it should pass WP:GNG and WP:SNG. Further more, it should have references (called reliable sources) present to verify the information provided in the article. If no reliable sources exist about the article, then it should not have an article on Wikipedia. I saw your draft was declined. It needs inline citations to verify the information. Please read WP:YFA and WP:REFB, if you haven't yet. –Kammill ⟨talk⟩ 04:55, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

08:29:21, 8 March 2021 review of draft by JudeJnr


After getting everything right, draft still got declined. Reasons;-

  1. Firstly because it falls under WP:TOOSOON. So I checked the article and I was able to defend it wasn’t a case of WP:TOOSOON. Then I resubmitted after making edits.
  2. Secondly because of COI, all this because I was able to prove the editor wrong and I still made a declaration under Goodfaith.

Is this how Wikipedia operates 🤦🏽‍♂️, before I started editing. I read about wp:BITE, now I feel like I’m been bitten for writing a beautiful article and it unjust. JudeJnr (talk) 08:29, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JudeJnr, Sorry for your feelings but as the reviewers now told you three times your subject of the article is not notable (yet). CommanderWaterford (talk) 09:16, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
CommanderWaterford, looking at articles like Tems (Nigerian singer) and Nonso Amadi, it sourced in the same manner and it was approved.--JudeJnr (talk) 09:22, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, in the live chat I had. I was told, interviews in reliable sources are seen as primary sources and can’t establish notability. How did subject like Tems (Nigerian singer), gain notability with interviews and Draft:Oxlade (singer) fails?.--JudeJnr (talk) 09:25, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JudeJnr Please see other stuff exists. That other articles that exist that may be inappropriate does not mean yours can exist too. This is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, as such it is possible for inappropriate content to go unaddressed. We can only address what we know about. 331dot (talk) 09:29, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
331dot, it unjust even my draft have more reliable source than Tems (Nigerian singer), this is reliable enough [1] to all source used in her article.--JudeJnr (talk) 09:33, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
JudeJnr If you would like to pitch in and help weed out other inappropriate articles, you may do so, we could use the help. As I said, you can't use the existence of other potentially inappropriate articles to justify the existence of yours. Each draft or article is judged on its own merits. Your draft has not yet been completely rejected, only declined, so there is at least a chance that this person will meet the notability guideline and have appropriate sources. 331dot (talk) 09:40, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
331dot, yes it does. Following this guidelines, WP:Band, and WP:Anybio. He has been nominated, charted, and also performed in ART X Lagos.--JudeJnr (talk) 09:51, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If that's true, then the reviewers will see it. 331dot (talk) 09:58, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

09:05:41, 8 March 2021 review of draft by Bartram83


Bartram83 (talk) 09:05, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know which articles/references to remove for this page for it to be verified.

Many thanks.

Hi Bartram83. As far as sources to remove, the ones that jump out are: the-royals.fandom.com, There Ought To Be Clowns, and monstagigz.com. They contain user-generated or self-published content, so are not reliable sources. You may also need to add sources. Most of the entries in the lists of theater, film, and TV performances cite no sources. Sources for them may already appear in the lead, in which case you should be able to make reviewers happy by adding inline citations within the lists. See Wikipedia:Citing sources#Repeated citations for a clean way to cite the same source multiple times. If, after you've done that, there are still performances that cite no sources, you'll need to add sources or remove the unsourced content. Everything included in Wikipedia must be verifiable in a published reliable source. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

04:15:20, 8 March 2021 review of submission by Joshua Gooden

I am taking a re-review request for the article that I'm working on, "Tanner Rozankovic" because I believe this biography about Tanner is worth an article due to public interest, for this person and that according to wiki guides this person is suitable for an article. In summary here is why I believe Tanner Rozankovic fits the requirements for an article/biography. From years 2016-2021 the name Tanner Rozankovic has been searched on google over 15 thousand times per 3 months, according to Google ranking sites. Tanner Rozankovic has had a wide range of media coverage calculating to videos all together over 6 million views, with Tanner's games and Tanner being the sole interest and focus of these videos. With big YouTubers making playlists with multiple videos just about Tanner, and the biggest twitch steamer to exist "Shroud" even mentioning and playing Tanner's games on videos and live streams, with hundreds of thousands of viewers watching live.

Tanner can be found with sufficient coverage from many notable and respectable sources, from the Valve cooperation all the way to EA Sports and DICE Studios some of the biggest publishing and developing companies to ever exist.

Joshua Gooden The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. It doesn't matter if he has five viewers or 5 billion, it seems that he does not have significant coverage in independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 09:21, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This was also copied to my talkpage as the last AFC reviewer. I have articulated my review of the sources on the talkpage. I remain of the view that this draft fails to meet the general notability guideline, and I have been entirely unable to find sources to indicate otherwise.

I saw the reason according to this article: "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."

What should I do? I would like my article to be submitted.

Paullyleela As noted, "This draft does not establish that the Faculty of Education is independently notable so as to warrant a separate article from the university." You need independent reliable sources with significant coverage that discuss the faculty as a group in order for them to merit an article by themselves.
Do you have an association with the faculty? 331dot (talk) 15:31, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please check my new references. It seems that 331dot didn't even bother to check them, since it is already rejected. The ask for advice button is to tell why you should make the draft go to mainspace. I may have edited after the rejection, but I don't think this means nothing can be solved now. I will not give up. If it never works, I will speedy delete the article. However, I will make a new article of the same name with the same content and also those new references. It might work, and then I know your flaws.2A00:23C7:5A9C:3F01:A81C:5E18:81C8:FC1D (talk) 16:51, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

19:07:02, 9 March 2021 review of submission by WolfgangSchmidtHH


Well, excuse me, the articles if've written and ask for submission were declined, and to my opinion this is wrong. 1. These are translations from the articles of the Wikipedia version in German language. For example the article about Mr. André Vard is there for years.Obviously the user who declined the article is not from Germany and decides that this artist is not relevant to be mentioned in the wikipedia in English. Sorry, but that's a little bit kind of arrogant. And btw he's a well known drummer all over the world, but he lives in seclusion and only very rarely allows interviews. As a journalist I was lucky enough to speak to him personally. 2. Same about the band Korona. Just five minutes ago I added a link to a press review available on the Koronamusic website. So declining was much too fast, but also wrong without that new link. You could do you're own research if you are a real journalist and find out that this band is historically significant. It is the only band in the history of the Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festivals, which are the biggest rock festivals of Europe, booked there officially in the beginning of their career without having a record contract. That's why they were even part of a documentary about "30 years of Rock am Ring". etc. And because of their name and the coincidence of the currently absurd pandemic you should be understand that this is an important article. This is the only band on this planet that is officially allowed to have the name "Korona" as a band, and their label "Koronamusic" is the only label that is officially allowed to use this name. 3. I am a musicologist, living in Hamburg, Germany, and I also work as a freelance editor and journalist for many media. So I thought this articles should be available in English. People should not make changes to the articles who seem to have little or no idea about the subject. It is also questionable why no changes of this kind are made to other articles that have existed for years and are from the same subject. In my capacity as a scientist and journalist, I come into contact with many people and artists from the music industry. I have a lot of conversations and often receive information that, at the request of these people, is not made public. That is why I do not write some information or receipts in the articles, even though I have them firsthand, so to speak. If you have doubts about some things, you are welcome to write to me privately. Then I would also be happy to send you my press card from the German Association of Journalists or answer you any question. Additional: In the German version nearly all changes that were made first on my articles in the past had later to be taken back after "changers" really get into the information. So please, don't decline these articles. I know your subject qualifies. And I think you're very wrong in declining, because you don't know the subject, and you don't know or can't read the published sources and references because it's in German.(?) But that doesn't mean that there are no English speaking people interested into these subjects, right? Cheers! Wolfgang

WolfgangSchmidtHH (talk) 19:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Moin WolfgangSchmidtHH, thank you for your detailed opinion but I can assure you that there are many, many reviewers here who do also speak almost fluently German, many of us speak several languages - like I do for example. And I can assist you that I would have declined your draft, too - your article persists of only self-published, not reliable sources and there is no significant coverage of this band proved. I suggest looking for those kind of sources, adding them and resubmitting the article for review. Auf bald! CommanderWaterford (talk) 19:58, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@CommanderWaterford: Aloha CommanderWaterford, so in your opinion, articles from music magazines, skateboard magazines or the press review with websites like t-online etc. are not reliable sources? Hm, there was a time when articles appeared on printed paper, you know. You can go to the Deutsche Bibliothek in Frankfurt am Main and research the sources there. There are also articles on Korona and André Vard in the "Munzinger Archive", if that tells you something. How is that supposed to work with sources from the past, if you practically exclude the printed press? As a journalist, that is incomprehensible to me. And what do you mean by "self-published"? You call something "self-published" if it is press material that was once written about them and published in a press review? But that is a wrong argument. Because the content of the press review was not published by themselves. Seriously, you really exclude any source that is not on the internet right now and right here? I definitely disagree with that. And as I said, then you have to go to the German Library and order the magazines if you don't think that's reliable, or hire Munzinger. Actually, I just wanted to round it off, and also have it appear in English, because I had just conducted an interview with André Vard about Rolf Gehlhaar. I think Wikipedia is great, but the cliché regarding "opinions" and dealing with various assessments, especially when it comes to music and musicians, was promptly confirmed again. It still goes on and on. Futile hope. The reason for this was discussed in a nice symposium at the Frankfurt Music Fair three years ago. I think that's it for me again. All the best and stay healthy!

Eastcoasthawaiian (talk) 21:02, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eastcoasthawaiian Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a place to just list people. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia summarizes what independent [{WP:RS|reliable sources]] with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. I'd recommend looking at some articles about people in general(Joe Biden, Boris Johnson, Pope Francis, Tom Brokaw) and/or photojournalists in particular. You may also find it helpful to read Your First Article and use the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia and its content. 331dot (talk) 21:09, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eastcoasthawaiian What is needed is not collections of his work, but independent reliable sources that discuss that work in depth.

Very respectfully, Thank you.

His profile is on pages 96 to 99 of the magazine.

His profile is on pages 96 to 99 of the magazine.

That might be one independent reliable source. Most reviewers look for at least three- and the draft should summarize what they say. Note that it should not be based on an interview with him(I haven't looked at it). 331dot (talk) 21:28, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, an interview with him would not be an independent reliable source as it is his own words, a primary source. 331dot (talk) 21:37, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Eastcoasthawaiian, first of all it would be good not to ask on x several places for advice in order to get a draft accepted.

Sauravgupta7297 (talk) 05:36, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sauravgupta7297 The reason for the decline was given by the reviewer at the top of your draft. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about the existence of something; Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a subject, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability.
That other articles exist is not relevant; see other stuff exists. It could be that those other articles are also inappropriate, but simply have not been addressed yet. We can only address what we know about, and as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate content to go undetected. This is why each draft or article is judged on its own merits.

Hello,

I worked very hard to create a neutral article for 'Rocket Science' looking at many other companies within the same field which have already been verified and have pages on Wikipedia.

I used respected outside sources within the industry as references. Despite being diligent and trying to following the guidelines and my tone I've had the article rejected.

Please could I get some help to what is wrong and how the article may be fixed in terms of change tone or sources.

I looked at similar companies in the field who have had their profiles ok'd - eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embankment_Films https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HanWay_Films

before starting to create the article in the hope that meant the tone I used was safe and within the permitted guidlines.

Having done that it would be great if any advice could be given on how to amend the tone to an acceptable place

I value Wikipedia and am really very disheartened at the moment.

Thank you in advance for your help.

All the references I have used are media and press articles about him, so they aren't just passing mentions. Moreover, they are articles published in newspapers and magazines unrelated to this photographer so, in other words, they are independent of the subject.

In conclusion, I don't really understand why the article submission has been declined neither what can I improve to solve the reason it was declined for... :S

@331dot: Ok...and what about all of the other things? The awards are simply one example of the many times he was the subject of articles and praise. How many people have their death honored with a resolution passed by public officials? non-notable people? How many articles does he need to be the subject of to be considered "notable"?

MrWanderer321 The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further, and no amount of editing can change that. To be frank, you will only be wasting your time and that of others if you pursue this further at this time. 331dot (talk) 16:32, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

19:27:26, 11 March 2021 review of draft by Bigbirdboy


Hello and thank you for your attention.

My submission was declined for the following reason:

"This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."

My question would be, is one source referenced from an independent secondary enough? Is that one reference source enough? or do I need more than one publication from secondary sources?

Thank you

@Bigbirdboy: see WP:THREE. Three indenpendent, reliable sources is often regarded as the bare minimum, more is always better, also with regards to WP:BLP. Victor Schmidt (talk) 19:39, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm trying to fix up an article on Canadian artist Zinnia Naqvi, but I'm having difficulty with the "notability" of this artist. She's an award-winning artist and pretty notable in Canada — she has an award from the National Gallery of Canada (biggest arts institution in the country), she's exhibited nationally and internationally, I've included citations on her work in Canadian Art magazine (best-selling arts periodical here) and an interview on her work on Global News (one of our national news networks). I'm not using any sources that I think are questionable (eg. her artist's website), and I really just don't know what to add at this point! Any suggestions are appreciated.

Pharmaceutical Association of Mauritius - P.A.M

Hello, I just wanted to know if I shall have to resubmit the article which I wrote on 'Pharmaceutical Association of Mauritius -P.A.M' on the 27th March, 2014, and subsequently edited to include verifiable sources. This is a page which I want to link to the [list of pharmacy associations] for the Republic of Mauritius.

Thank you for your attention!

Alshera, We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to return. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 08:12, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

22:14:34, 11 March 2021 review of submission by Puhoaosb


Hi there :)

Slightly confused as to the comment I received and if I could please receive any insight:

Reviewer: "This is an entry on the List of massacres committed during the Eritrean War of Independence, and as can be seen on that list, none of the others have a standalone article. However, an article about the village itself, if official sources can be found, would be acceptable."

I was wondering why a separate article of the village is required in order to also discuss the massacre? The articles on the list do not have a standalone articles but frankly should, therefore I am not sure how this is a reason. There are standalone articles of massacres which took place in the US, for example.

Agreed that an article on the village itself would be ideal and will work to build one soon - but the comment regarding the need for 'significant coverage' does ignore the context/time of which this massacre took place. This article is an attempt to contribute to knowledge, which so far exists mostly through oral history. If the goal of Wikipedia is to disseminate knowledge effectively, the obstruction of said knowledge due to a lack of what is deemed as 'coverage' seems almost counterproductive.

Even then, building an article on the village itself would consist of few sources anyway. Any specific advice would be helpful please going forward.

Puhoaosb (talk) 22:20, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Puhoaosb, I am afraid that thsi draft also looks like a memorial. While that is laudable it is not a thing for Wikipedia. Please see WP:NOTMEMORIAL. For me this suggests your list of victims is out of scope for us here.
In real terms you have only two references. One is duplicated. I think it likely that three solid references (WP:42 is a good guide), potentially more, that the draft sans list of victims wil stand a far better chance of acceptance Fiddle Faddle 22:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

23:02:11, 11 March 2021 review of draft by Duduzh


Are the sources that I added to Draft:Hsiao-ting Lin not reliable sources? When should I resubmit the draft?

Duduzh (talk) 23:02, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Duduzh, Please consider your sourcing. It is not useful. WP:42 summarises what is useful.
For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 23:11, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Your links say that "primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia" and "A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts". The sources that I used from the Hoover Institution and Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars are being used for straightforward statements of facts and are not being used for interpretation. Every sentence in the draft has a reference. What am I missing here? Duduzh (talk) 23:20, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If university sources are not allowed for scholars, then that is a pity. Newspapers do not write many articles about researchers unless they are quite exceptional. Duduzh (talk) 23:36, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was rejected but I don't know why. Please help! It said something about putting references in footnotes but I did not know I had any 'references'. Pogerina (talk) 00:19, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pogerina. You have to tell the reader where every piece of information in the draft came from. Do so by citing sources (also known as references). Help:Referencing for beginners is a simplified introduction to the mechanics.
Sources should be published, reliable sources. Reliable has a distinctive meaning on Wikipedia. Many sources you might think are trustworthy, such as Discogs, IMDb, and YouTube, generally are not reliable as far as Wikipedia is concerned. Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources contains a list of sources Wikipedians have found useful when writing about music.
Furthermore, the bulk of the draft should come from independent, secondary sources, so not Rietveld (including primary source interviews of him without independent analysis), nor his label, nor others who have an interest in promoting him. The best sources will also contain significant coverage (at least a few paragraphs) about him. Try to find at least three reliable, independent, secondary sources, that contain significant coverage of him.
As an example, for the statement, "Rietveld joined Miles Davis's band for his 1988 World Tour", I've added a citation to an independent, reliable source (a book written by a notable music writer). Add citations for everything in the biography and awards sections. It is not important to have citations in the discography and filmography sections if the credits of the albums and films themselves support the listing. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:03, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
