Dear SwisterTwister,

I am not sure which one is the sentence you are referring to. Could you please indicate it to me so I can change it or add a third part source? Regarding the Slovak National Gallery, one painting of the artist is conserved over there, and I have even provided the link in the section "works in public and private institutions.

Thank you very much for your help Kind Regards --Anna Lisa33 (talk) 11:45, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]





Name change of article "Dalit saints of Hinduism"

Hi there. Thank you very much for viewing my created articles. Could you please help me by renaming the article "Dalit saints of Hinduism" into "Hindu Dalit sants" so that they be in consistency with the other caste-saint-related articles? Thanks again. - Crimson Zoom —Preceding undated comment added 05:51, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SwisterTwister,

A couple months ago you reviewed my article and had said it looked notable but needed more sources and to notify you once I have made the proper changes. I have made revisions to the article (Hubbell Water Heaters) and would appreciate if you could look over it again. Thanks for your time. Carrierc (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding Draft:Adrienne_Kress

I noticed you recently declined the above draft article for lack of notability. I am not sure I understand the logic of that considering the article has a number of highly reliable sources cited. I agree there are other reasons the article is not ready for primetime but notability does not seem to be an issue from my analysis. What am I missing? Koala Tea Of Mercy (KTOM's Articulations & Invigilations) 15:30, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Koala Tea of Mercy The article simply still needs any further available in-depth third-party sources overall for solidity, as mentioned at the draft. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 19:07, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for reviewing the Dwayne Perkins page. As I am neither an experienced editor nor an experienced cook, the best food I can prepare is a cheeseburger. However, I do make very good cheeseburgers.

(This one is prepared diner style, not pub style. It is flattened and made with American cheese, which is the only cheese for a real cheeseburger, as other cheeses do not melt properly.) Marknashtx (talk) 18:22, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Money Pump

It seems that you are quite busy, so let me be brief.

I occasionally consult Wikipedia, and fix mistakes when I find them in my own area of expertise. Recently, I looked up and fixed Dutch Book by adding a paragraph of clear explanation to central idea. I was surprised to find that Money Pump redirects to the Dutch book, and is not mentioned in the Dutch Book. The Dutch Book is an argument about preferences over lotteries which lead to subjective probabilties. The Money Pump is used within this argument to show that preferences must be transitive. These are two separate, but related arguments.

The redirect is wrong, since it confuses two similar arguments. My explanations provide a good introduction to the topic. If someone can do better, they should improve upon it. Reverting to the REDIRECT of Money Pump is goes back to a mistake and a confusion, abandoning an important clarification. Asaduzaman (talk) 06:53, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Asaduzaman If you want to start an article, see WP:Your first article. You'll need to give it another title instead of simply going over that article. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 06:55, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SwisterTwister, please see the (long) message I left for Asaduzaman on my Talk page in response to his AGF request for assistance. After reading that please tell me what you think about moving the article in to the Draft namespace ? Koala Tea Of Mercy (KTOM's Articulations & Invigilations) 07:03, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Koala Tea Of Mercy Of course, it can be moved to draft. Ah, that's quite a long message and thanks for commenting of course. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 07:07, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SwisterTwister, Normally I would not expend such time and energy on a new user, but IMHO Asaduzaman seems to be a skilled academic and if I can help him to become a skilled contributor to WP, that too is improving the encyclopedia. Koala Tea Of Mercy (KTOM's Articulations & Invigilations) 07:18, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Money Pump is a legitimate term and topic, and deserves an explanation. Furthermore, the writeup I made on it satisfies all the criteria discussed in the "First Article". I think a revert to my edits on MOney Pump would be perfectly satisfactory -- please note that I am ONLY FIXING A MISTAKE which I could do easily because the topic is one I am very familiar with -- I do not have time to write new articles for Wiki at the moment Asaduzaman (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:39, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question about a draft

Dear SwisterTwister,

Thanks for reviewing my submission !

I’ve read your comments and the guidelines that Wikipedia provides but I’m still not sure what exactly needs to be improved.

You pointed out that Wikipedia requires significant coverage and reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I tried to include various reliable articles about the Varkert project, both from conservative and liberal newspapers and magazines. There are more articles about the subject but most of them are unfortunately only in Hungarian and I haven’t managed to find more articles in English, as this was a local/national project. Also, I’m not sure if this was a problem or not, but because the project and the case started 14 years ago, these articles are not available on the internet.

I would really appreciate if you could give me specific examples about what was wrong with my article and what kind of reliable sources you were (or I should be) looking for.

Thanks a lot for your help!

13:07:03, 17 February 2016 review of submission by 69thstreet


Keeping the article Bars4Justice in draft mode seems odd due to the subject matter and historic significance of the film. I reviewed the sources and found that the film is in The Los Angeles Sentinel which is the only and most prominent long running African American Los Angeles newspaper. Reliable doesn't mean popular or mainstream or does it?

This was written in the Arizona Republic "ASU Black History Month ASU has a many events planned out during the month of February and many are open to the public. Options include a storytellers series, lectures, a session on traditional African dances, a mural project and a discussion on race and social injustice, which will follow a viewing of the documentary Bars4Justice. The short film was shot on location in Ferguson, Missouri, during the one-year anniversary of the shooting of Michael Brown. A full list of events can be viewed at eoss.asu.edu/student-engagement/culture/black-history."

I also found Reliable sources including University of Arizona newspaper written by a Professor who is using the film as a teaching guide.

Blacklivesmatter wiki lists the film.

This page had been submitted for deletion when it was what I'd consider a stub article. At that time I made many additions to the page by adding enhanced verbiage, factual sources and citations. Rather than suggesting to delete the page and having that work go to waste, could you please provide me with some tips to improve the article? I appreciate the advice you can provide!

Help with a research project

SwisterTwister,

I am currently working with a group of professors at the University of Virginia and I would love to enlist your help. We are using Wikipedia as a source for our research, but I am curious to learn more about how the site works: how and who edits them, how and who flags mistakes and makes corrections, how and who decides the layout of a page?

I would greatly appreciate any help that you can give me, as you seem to be a seasoned contributor. If you are willing to discuss this further, please let me know.

The comments are that the article did not show the notability of the organisation. However, I cited quite a number of sources about the organisation, which are books, websites, newspapers, etc. It seems to me that the organisation is quite notable regionally and internationally, and it is the only sizeable public relations organisation regionally, which made me have the interest to write the article.

Dear SisterTwister I have used references from several media outlets, including newspapers and magazines. I was hoping you could please elaborate on why you deemed these sources unreliable and not to prove the subject's notability. Thank you very much.

Apology for my confusion

I'm afraid I can't figure out whether the page John Goldsmith, whose speedy deletion you reviewed, should be contested or not — you can probably see I went back and forth trying to address the issue correctly. Maybe you can help. My feeling is that "John Goldsmith" should redirect to "John Goldsmith (disambiguation)" since none of the John Goldsmiths on the disambig page are of primary prominence. I apologize for my confusion and for asking for help; I've also asked User:Some Gadget Geek, who tagged the page, for help.

Hi SwisterTwister, thanks for taking another look at my entry.

I'd understood from @Tokyogirl79: (original rejection) that if the film had been taken into the Museum's Collection that would make it notable in its own right and therefore there wasn't a need to confirm its notoriety in the press?

If that is the case, I believe it has been evidenced that the film is in the collection due to the ShowSpace it was exhibited in.

But please advise?

Thanks

Amanda Paul (talk) 16:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Amanda Paul As mentioned, the article has potential but simply still needs any further available sources. Sincerely, SwisterTwister talk 19:08, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SwisterTwister I'm sorry, but that didn't address my question at all. What I was asking was, that the fact that it's been taken into a globally recognised Museum Museum of London is surely sufficient enough to establish its notability. The work, which is used to example how Londoners record their lives in the 21st Century (hence the title of the exhibition) had been compared by the curator to the likes of Samuel Pepys and James Boswell dairies in it's reflection of contemporary London Life.
As it will never receive a general cinema release, it cannot be expected to garner large press as a Movie would. But should that make it any less notable as a piece of work as it will be archived for the access of future generations?
Which additionally would appear to concur with the following:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(films)#cite_note-4
Other evidence of Notability "The film was selected for preservation in a national archive.[4]"
I believe editors are treating this as a commercially produced movie which would be open to reviews etc. but it is not that type of film.
Any further assistance gratefully received?

Review of submission by KatieTakacs

Draft: Highfive Technologies, Inc. If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material. "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent. We have listed sources that meet these requirements. Please identify those that do not meet these requirements. KatieTakacs (talk) 17:53, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 20:49:52, 23 February 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Cagcgeospatial


The article I submitted was rejected because the reviewer was not convinced the subject was notable. I can't understand how this can be--the person is an academic professor and the article clearly demonstrated the following:

1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.

2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g., the IEEE).

5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).

I'm not clear on what more you need. Please help!

Thanks and a question.

Thanks for reviewing my Curt Massey article. I appreciate that.

I have one question related to the article. Soon after I posted it, an editor changed the "Death" section to a subsection under "Personal life." Until now, I have been putting "Death" as a separate main section in the biographical articles that I created. Is that incorrect? Should I have been putting it as a subsection of "Personal life" all along? Eddie Blick (talk) 02:06, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

04:45:45, 24 February 2016 review of submission by 2602:306:BCD4:8610:CD0F:A592:6ED7:4213


Hi SwisterTwister,

Thanks for editing and your comments. I just want you to be clear that very few sources are available this township in China. I have am working on a PhD on this place and so I am the definitive expert on this writing in English anyways. Can you provide a number of sources required so that I can get you to approve of this article?

Thanks

2602:306:BCD4:8610:CD0F:A592:6ED7:4213 Simply add any further available. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 05:13, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Men On The Border

Hey, I was wondering if you could weigh in at Draft:Men On The Border. The user (PCMorphy72) has been very nice and patient and there's currently four sources that I think would be considered notability-giving reliable sources. This and this are reviews for their work. They're brief, but they're written by Arbetarbladet and Sunday Mercury. I know that the Mercury is a tabloid and they're sources that I tend to avoid using, but there's never any sort of set thing against tabloids unless they prove themselves to be out and out untrustworthy and this is a review, not an article about the band. This is an article that talks about an upcoming performance and this is a review of that performance. Both are published in the Gefle Dagblad, which is categorized as a major media outlet on the Gävle article, but they're written by different people.

This isn't heavy, but I think it's enough to where the group could weakly pass NBAND. There's supposed to be an event in October that could result in more coverage, but of course that's not a guarantee. My inclination is that we could accept it, but I'm just somewhat concerned about its survival in the mainspace since AfC articles do tend to get heavily scrutinized. I figured that a second opinion would be good before making any major moves. What do you think? I'll trust your opinion in this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:28, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tokyogirl79 My initial thoughts are that there's simply not enough and, at best, this could simply be accepted as such and wait for further better coverage but I'm still questionable about it, so we may have to draft it where it currently is for now. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 06:30, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
All right, thanks. In the meanwhile, since you thought a number of 4 sources could have been enough to justify notability, could you suggest (although you considered as "in passing" the mentioning on the very popular NME magazine) if it's the case to add one (or more) further source "till now" from this list? (for the notability of the last event mentioned in the article, i.e. an 8th source after sources [6] and [7]):

Care to comment at the AFD for Tuleap (project management)‎‎. I would like to check if I'm out-to-lunch or not. I suspect that a user forum or similar exists for the subject as it appears that several editors have arrived to protest its deletion. I could be wrong about its notability, but it clearly has fans.

Special:NewPagesFeed favour

Hey there, I have 2 pages waiting on the Special:NewPagesFeed and I am wondering if it is that they are not good enough or have just been missed - since I patrol a little I know they could slip by easily - but I also don't approve pages when they have a problem but I don't know enough to comment or fix so I skip on to the next. Since you patrol I was wondering if when you are doing it next you could filter for my pages and see if they are ok? Martina Devlin and Kerry Hardie. Pages created before and after have been patrolled so I'm curious...This is totally a favour - I won't be remotely insulted or upset if you don't/can't.

The proposed draft (A.G. Huntsman Award) page is no less notable than other similar existing wiki pages on named awards in the fields of oceanography and ecology. Such as:
G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award
A.C. Redfield Lifetime Achievement Award
Robert H. MacArthur Award
Maurice Ewing Medal
Roger Revelle Medal
DragonSnake (talk) 14:16, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, DragonSnake - there are quite a few articles on Wikipedia that suck. Doesn't mean that new ones should also be allowed which don't meet Wikipedia standards. Over time, standards have improved, 5-10 years ago, almost anything was allowed on. As time goes on, we weed out the articles which shouldn't be here. But there are only about 2500 active volunteer editors, and over 5 million articles, so some crap still remains. Your argument is called other stuff exists - not a valid argument for inclusion. We need about 3 in-depth articles from independent sources to show the award is notable. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 14:23, 26 February 2016 (UTC) (talk page stalker)[reply]

05:59:36, 29 February 2016 review of submission by LAH109



The reason given for rejecting the event is that it's not notable enough. I beg to disagree. In addition to the references already in the submitted WIKI article, there have been more attention to this event in the last 3 weeks.

On the 30th anniversary of the walkout, 17 of the 35 tabulators held a reunion in Manila. The Filipino media was clamouring for interviews with the tabulators, and they agreed to several requests from many media organisations. The walkout by the tabulators was described as a pivotal event leading to the people power revolution at EDSA which saw the overthrow of dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

Here are links to print and TV interviews and commentary over the past three weeks:

Stale

I would like to start a discussion at CSD:Talk to discuss how best to handle some of the stale userdrafts which do not currently fall neatly into any of the existing CSD categories.

I wanted to start with a brief history and started to write that you undertook the enormous task of going through Category:Stale userspace drafts to identify pages which deserve deletion. However, even as I started writing those words I realize I did not know the precise history. I’m not sure with your recent efforts started with that, started with something else and it became that or if your process is something other than I just described. Would you be so kind as to give me a brief history so that I can introduce the subject appropriately?

My intention is to point out that almost all of your nominations are quite clear-cut, but there may be a few that deserve further discussion. At the moment, it isn’t clear to me whether the best approach is to simply accept the current CSD criteria which might mean that a few of the useless drafts should simply be retained, whether we ought to tweak the current criteria to cover some of these useless pages, whether we ought to identify a new CSD to cover the situations or something else entirely. I hope to open up a discussion but I’d like to make sure I start with facts.--S Philbrick(Talk) 19:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sphilbrick When I started at Unused Drafts, I simply skipped or watchlisted anything that was questionable and may need MfD. Now recently, when I noticed so many of these were obvious starting companies and thus unlikely notable, I simply tag it as U5 if I believe it's simply not needed.

For example: John Jones started an article for his company with only the basic information (Jones & Associates Company was founded in 2011 by John Jones in Cleveland, Ohio) with nothing but their own websites and a few press releases. If it was of serious concern, I considered tagging for G11 and U5 especially because some of these cases, the article was started the exact year or shortly before the company started (I.e. Company started in 2011 and the article was started in 2011). Also, this was the same case with bands also, where it was obviously a band member who started the article with nothing else.

It's worth noting I would execute my own searches to find any available sources and if I found only their press releases and own websites or perhaps simply nothing at all, I would tag it as G11 or U5. This goes for MfD also, where a user would nominate an article with nothing but basic information, I would speedy tag it instead. If some of these were main article space, A7 would be applicable but but it is not (at least for user and draftspace). I know someone would think that some of these are a "work in progress" and it's still a draft with potential but some of these simply seem obvious enough to not be notable and not needed.

I know there's some talk at CSD:Talk about applying an expiration date (think of it as a close G13) and also to where drafts can also be deleted if the user had no enthusiasm for Wikipedia or any serious interests. It's also interesting to mention that WP:G13 actually mentions it could be applicable for user drafts but my understanding of it is that it needs to be explicitly tagged as AfC (not simply the Article Wizard itself). It's also worth noting that I would search to see if there was and currently still is a Wikipedia mainspace article and, of these, I would notice they had actually been deleted years before, so naturally, I would speedy tag it as G11 if that's how the original deletion went. Recently, a few cases, I'll simply redirect it to the existing article if it seems convincing enough.

Thanks for the review. The Flux Capacitors have countless references. I just didn't think that anything amounts anywhere close to CNN contacting the band to feature them, bringing them into their Los Angeles bureau, shelling out money for the story, and having Rocsi Diaz do the interview. CNN's interest should eclipse all the small fries. Or is that not the case? If not, I'll add a bunch more references. Just can't get more credible than CNN.

The Champions Documentary

Good afternoon @SwisterTwister:

You denied my new article submission for Draft:The_Champions_(documentary) saying it needed more "in-depth" 3rd party sources. Being new to wikipedia, I'd love some suggestions about what exactly that means.

I looked at wikipedia pages for other similar documentaries, such as Cartel Land and The Cove and feel like what I submitted is on par with those in terms of substance and style. The new-ness of the film means it doesn't yet have enough in terms of reviews, etc., to warrant another section, but I'm unsure why as-is, the draft isn't good enough. Any advice on other sections/information that could improve the article would definitely be appreciated. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonddunn (talk • contribs) 19:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)--Jonddunn (talk) 20:58, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SwisterTwister

You have said that the references don't make this article seem notable enough. Could you please let me know how I can improve this. As you can see this is my first wiki page. I have used notable third party websites as references, do let me know how I can improve this as I had to remove a lot of content earlier as it made the article look like an advertisement.

Siddhesh1191 As mentioned there, simply add any further available in-depth third-party sources overall. SwisterTwister talk 08:11, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Natural Capital Initiative

I note that you left a rather oddly-worded WP:PROD flag on the Natural Capital Initiative page which was subsequently removed by another user, who recommended WP:AfD instead. This is just to advise you that, in the light of your initial notice, I set to work and have completely restructured and referenced the article. I trust you will find this sufficient not to warrant an AfD flag, and that its contents are now more comprehensible?

As an aside, I do find it concerning that an uncontentious article can sit for some time - maybe years - in a poor state like this one did, but that someone spots it all of a sudden, slaps a notice on the page, and then someone else within in the Wikipedia community is expected to not only spot the warning flag, but also respond to it and put things right within just 7 days. I recognise this is not an issue you can resolve, but as an experienced Wikipedia, where would be the best place for me to raise these concerns, where I think such unseemly haste has the potential to do a lot of harm to Wikipedia and reduce its content to that of the lowest common denominator.Parkywiki (talk) 08:59, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SwisterTwister,

I wanted to reach out to you directly for help in getting the Savoy (Electronic Rock Band) wiki approved. In my recent submissions I cited 5 reliable sources including Thump (Vice), Yahoo Music, Your EDM, Music Times, and The Untz. These are large publications that I have seen many other musicians use as their wikipedia sources. Can you give me greater insight into why these aren't adequate sources and what type of sources would work better?

- Mike

Hi SwisterTwister,

My recent entry for the Kinder Institute for Urban Research was denied for notability reasons. This is despite testimonies from major media outlets who all elaborated on the importance and significance of the Institute’s work. Can you specifically say what information you need to see on this post in order to approve it for Wikipedia?

You requested more reliable sources, yet I have cited the Houston Chronicle 7 times, major TV affiliates twice (ABC & CBS), two national news magazines (Next City & Politico), a major academic journal, and even the mayor of Houston, who all highlighted the important work of the Institute (and even came right out and said the Institute's work is important). I don't know what else could be added. Do you want more news clippings? There are hundreds of mentions of the Kinder Institute in the media, especially the Houston Chronicle, but I have tried to avoid being redundant. If it's just a matter of quantity, I can certainly add to it.

I have read the guidelines and feel like I clearly have met them, so I feel I am kind of left guessing at what various anonymous editors want without any clear instructions.

Hi SwisterTwister,

This is with regards to the Wikipedia company page I had created for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:IRIS_Business_Services. This is my first Wiki page, so if you could please provide some more specifics on why the article was rejected, I can work on it for a resubmission. All of the content is based on factual references with no intention to advertise the company in any form. You've mentioned that focus should be with in-depth third-party sources overall, not trivial passing mentions and press releases. Is this because many of the references are pages from the corporate website itself. A majority of the citations are authentic third party references, press releases and case studies. If you could provide me with a few examples of references you deem questionable, that will help me understand the nature of these sources that you are doubting.

Jonathan Mwangangi Mueke

I think you made an error of judgement in nominating Jonathan Mwangangi Mueke for speedy deletion under A7. As you would be aware A7 states "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The criterion does apply if the claim of significance or importance given is not credible". Being a deputy Governor is clearly a credible claim to significance. Indeed the subject likely meets WP:NPOL which states "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office" are notable. Would you nominate an American deputy governor for speedy deletion? AusLondonder (talk) 02:58, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote : Comment: Still needs any further available in-depth third-party sources overall and also any further available information overall. SwisterTwister talk 07:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, I did my utmost best to find sources for this article, they are included as references, I don't know what more I can do. I translated this article from a dutch article (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgel_van_de_Sint-Niklaaskerk_in_Gent), which apparently is approved, using the same references a I use in my article. Many people asked for a translation of the original article, so there is a need to provide this information about an important cultural heritage object. Also, in my opinion, it is verifiable (most sources are in Dutch, because the subject is in Belgium), but probably not if you do not master Dutch. Is it fair that people with a degree in computers and programming have to approve or deny content that they do know almost nothing about ? And last but not least, it is very true information, as I have been at the location a few times. Is that not enough for Wikipedia ? If not, I will publish the article on another website, and regret that an public online encyclopedia is not so very public and open and free as some want others to believe.

Hi SwisterTwister. Thanks for your eye on this. Trying to negotiate between peacocking-- This artist is notable for being invited to exhibit work in juried shows across 3 continents, including solo shows at Newport Art Museum (with review in Providence Journal), and for being featured in the major ceramics magazines everywhere-- Ireland, USA, Australia, etc. She has a notable career, but I'm trying to characterize it as neutrally as possible. The juried magazines that are listed and where her work has been reviewed would be the equivalent of The Paris Review or The New Yorker for a writer. I've added some new material, including new exhibitions. I could add further publications-- but to do so just seems clumsy-- there's a pile of them there already that should be convincing. Can you take another look and see if maybe I've resolved the notable issue? Thanks. Forthgone (talk) 17:37, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at AfC Robert Kelsey

Hello SwisterTwister, thanks for taking the trouble to read my attempt at an article for Robert Kelsey. I understand and accept the need for establishing notability, and I accept that I have failed to do so in this case. However, I wonder if you would re-consider the same article in th elight of the criteria for Notability as it applies to creative professionals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28people%29

To pick out what I consder the key sentence, "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." That is Robert. He is one of the UK's bestselling self-help authors, with over 100,000 books sold, all three of them published by one the world's oldest and most venerable book publishers John Wiley and Sons (est 1807).

I'd also like to ask your opinion on the subject of third-party sources. You're right to say that not a huge number of third-party sources have written about Robert, but it's equally true to say that some of the most significant sources in the UK (e.g The Times newspaper) have regularly commissioned Robert to write stand-alone articles for them, as a topic expert and with his own exclusive by-line. I realise that is not quite as notable as having The Times write about him, but given all the other supporting criteria, is it not very much the same thing?

I hope you won't feel I'm laying down the lay here - just curious to know your response to these points. Corestarsee (talk) 12:45, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You said " I have not examined any of these sources closely but I would not be surprised if they consist of several trivial passing mentions, which are not exactly solid enough for his own notability"

If you had checked the sources, you would have seen that most, if not all, of them are full page reviews, multi-page articles, and full length interviews from independent, reliable, third party sources. A google news search for Nassuet brings up 11 articles about Nic Nassuet. Jamsphere, Carpe Nocturne, and Billboard are print magazines, two of which have national distribution. The Rocky Mountain News is a major newspaper. A search for his other professional name "Nick Ortiz-Trammell" pulls up two additional hits on google news - The Hollywood Reporter and The Denver Post, both major news sources.

In the examples below you will see that the majority of sources cited are extensive articles, reviews, and interviews, including major publications like Contact Music, The Big Takeover, Huffington Post (twice) and Shockya:

Nic Nassuet's debut album Eleutherios was released to critical acclaim in 2015.[1][2] [3][4]

[2] Review of Eleutherios Album by Nic Nassuet

Nic Nassuet's latest album is called 'Eleutherios', an ancient Greek term that refers to two Greek gods: Dionysus and Eros.Hailing from Hollywood, California, Nassuet writes and sings Gothic folk music, sometimes called Neo-folk; a genre that emphasizes the neo-pagan by means of cultural and literary references.

image: http://www.contactmusic.com/images/content/nic-nassuet-eleutherios-art-670-380.jpg

Nic Nassuet Eleutherios Album

Gothic folk music is dark and full of despair. Fortunately, Nassuet doesn't get swallowed up in the whole doom and gloom aspects. Yes, his songs are emotional and stygian, but they don't leave listeners suicidal.

'Eleutherios' contains nine tracks that vary enough to keep things interesting. The best track on the album is 'Immured', which carries heavy influences of rock opera. The song starts with delicate strings, and then Nassuet's voice joins in, backed up by Catrina Grimm, who has a delightfully light and airy voice. Tinker-Bellish might be an apt description.

'When It Falls' presents four different instruments: guitar, bass, cello and violin. One expects a layered sound; but it's not there. The musicians manage to maintain a Spartan quality, which provides a distinctive sound.

'Cross and Crown' and 'Goodnight, Goodbye' feature thick layers of acoustic guitar that drive their melodies. And both tunes present a heavy dose of pomp and circumstance. 'Goodnight, Goodbye' tosses in a Gothic choir that actually works quite well, especially since it avoids the tendency of many Gothic folk songs - to go all Vincent Price on listeners.

'Eleutherios' is a good album. However, an immediate qualifier must be added: it's a good album if you like Gothic folk music. If you don't, this definitely won't be your cup of tea. Like most sub-genres of music, Gothic folk is an acquired taste. It takes some getting used to because it's heavy on the angst, black, depressing and often overplayed; although Nassuet avoids the latter error.

Interview: Nic Nassuet

Anthony Tinsman Author of Hungry Robot and Killing God’s Enemies 

2016-02-26-1456453347-4006163-nicnassueteleutheriosart670380.jpg

(Randy Radic contributed to this interview)

What is the most trouble you’ve ever gotten into?

I guess that depends on your version of “trouble”. For me, trouble is when I can’t do what I want to do, so the most trouble I think I have been in would be the hospitalizations for mysterious illnesses, months with a catheter, kidney stones, wheelchair days, and stuff like that. If you mean trouble with authorities, fights, or legal issues, well, I used to be a patrol leader for the Guardian Angels, served in the Army, conducted undercover investigations for animal rights groups, led protests, and was briefly a private investigator for some high profile political clients, so I’ve been in all kinds of crazy situations. I’ve been a professional troublemaker.

What are the five things you can’t live without?

Aside from the obvious like water, air, food, and medicine, I can’t live without Danzig memes. The source of life is in the dank Danzig memes. He who controls the Danzig memes controls the universe.

Comedy is essential too. I need to laugh often. That’s why I watch Kanye West’s interviews and twitter feed. Kanye West is the greatest unintentional comedian of our generation, the Forrest Gump of comedy, the hip-hop Sarah Palin. I’m really glad that Kanye unwittingly stepped up to take the position in our culture that was vacated when Stephen Colbert pulled the plug on “The Colbert Report”.

I also don’t think that I would want to live without genuine people. Genuine people make our brief time here much more pleasant. It makes all the difference in every endeavor.

It should probably go without saying that I can’t live without fur people. I wouldn’t be alive today without dogs and cats in my life. When I was a really little kid, and my older brother was dying in the hospital from heart disease and a botched blood transfusion, our family dog was the only one who really understood me. I would sit and look out the window and think, as a four year old child, about death, and life and what it meant, and Toby, our dog, would come and sit with me. It meant the world.

Lastly, I couldn’t live without Italian food. Without pizza, lasagna, spaghetti, and garlic bread, the world would be a dismal and hopeless place.

What’s your favorite song to belt out in the car or the shower?

I don’t really have a favorite song, and I’ll sing anything that I know the lyrics to, however everything usually comes back to a Misfits, AFI, or Nine Inch Nails song, which is why we have plans to highlight some of those songs on future releases.

What kind of guitar do you play? And why?

I play several. Eleutherios was recorded on a Breedlove acoustic, and I have an endorsement with them because I think they make really fantastic instruments. Great tone, durable, hand-made, constructed in the USA - can’t beat that.

I have this old Ibanez from ages ago too. I mostly use it to write when I travel. It is the lowest grade, mass-manufactured, acoustic guitar that Ibanez has ever made. Absolute bottom of the barrel. Over the decades I’ve glued rubies, emeralds, and sapphires to it, covered it in stickers from the places it has travelled to, dropped it more than a few times, and it is still kicking and sounds great. You don’t need to spend a bunch of money to get a good instrument.

What musicians influenced you the most?

My mother was the most influential musician to me. She would sing and play the guitar for us when we were really little, and I thought that was the coolest thing.

In terms of well-known musicians... that’s tough. Of course, lots of musicians have influenced me, just like anyone else who ever picked up an instrument, bought a CD, or listened to the radio. Everyone who is doing their own thing in their own way is a positive influence. Even if I don’t prefer their sound, or if their attempts at self-expression are lost on me, I still respect the drive, confidence, and passion that many artists exhibit. We are very fortunate to live in a time where people like Trent Reznor, Glenn Danzig, David Bowie, Davey Havok, Nivek Ogre, David Tibet, Praga Khan, and Buzz McCoy can find an audience, share their gifts, and inspire us with their originality and creativity.

I heard Lionel Richie in Conversation with Kevin Spacey the other day at a Musicares event, and I found Lionel’s story really influential, even though our musical styles are worlds apart. I love that he was open and unashamed of the fact that, like me, he can’t read a lick of music. He said that Frank Sinatra and Luciano Pavarotti were the same way. That was a pretty inspiring thing to hear.

In my review of your EP, I described your musical style as Gothic folk or Neo-folk. How would you describe it?

If you are talking about Eleutherios, I would actually describe it as an LP/Album since it is nine songs. As much as I love, and find inspiration in, the music of David Tibet and Current 93, I don’t think that we really have much in common with neo-folk bands or neo-folk music. Gothic Folk is distinct from Neo-folk, and is not “Goth-Folk”. We have a stronger rock sound than neo-folk bands normally do, and I can’t think of any neo-folk fans, playlists, or websites who have picked up our stuff. Neo-folk tends to not have much variety in the vocals, the lyrics are often more blatantly esoteric than ours, and since we are defining what Gothic Folk means as an emerging genre we are not locked into a rigid definition or standard the way that an established genre like Neo-folk is.

I first used the term “Gothic Folk” about 16 years ago to my friends as a way to describe the slow, folksy-acoustic, grunge, metal, and punk covers I was doing and it seems to have stuck around. For the most part, I don’t describe the music. Most of my interactions have been with people who already heard the music, so I didn’t really need to define it, but when I was at the Grammys a few days ago and surrounded by people who hadn’t yet heard the album I was asked “What kind of music do you create?” probably a hundred times, and I just kind of froze up when people asked that because I don’t generally think in terms of genre. I like what I like, and dislike what I dislike, and you may not like what I like, and that’s okay. Beyond that, I don’t like to label, or put a lot of definitions on things.

When trying to define the music I usually quote what magazines and blogs say about it. For example, Scallywag Magazine called us “The King and Queen of Gothic Folk” and said “It’s a pure gothic folk record”. Static said “If you’re looking for the lovechild of the genres Gothic and Folk, look no further”. Contact Music recommended it “if you like Gothic folk music.” New York Music Examiner, Verbal Slap, Delusions of Adequacy, Pop Dose, The Big Takeover and a bunch of other publications keep referring to Eleutherios as a Gothic Folk album too, and the Global Music Awards gave us a gold medal for “Alternative Rock Gothic Folk”, so if that’s the label that music industry professionals want to use I’m not going to stand in their way, but I’m not going to restrict myself to their opinions.

Personally, I think that “Eleutherios” is largely a folk-rock/acoustic grunge album with classical music influence, dark poetic lyrics, instrumentation that hints of punk, baroque, and Celtic music, and vocals that can be both low key and emotional, or a rock tenor belt... but that’s what “Gothic Folk” is. They keep calling this album “Gothic Folk”, so whatever “Eleutherios” is must be what Gothic Folk is.

Why Gothic folk rather than alternative rock or some other style?

Gothic Folk is a branch of Alternative Rock. We’ve won folk, rock, and alternative awards, so Eleutherios, and by extension Gothic Folk, is a hybrid of multiple styles and genres, while not restricted to any specific one.

This album is an acoustic album because that’s how the music sounded when I heard it in my head. I hate trying to wrangle a live band and I wanted to have something that I could perform with just a microphone and a guitar, so I am glad that it came out this way.

Where do you find inspiration for your songs?

I wish that I knew. As things are now, the inspiration finds me. Usually in dreams, or just after I wake up, but sometimes at inopportune moments where I have to rush to the privacy of a public bathroom to hum the song into my phone before it fades.

What is your songwriting process? Does the music come first and then the lyrics?

Sometimes I pick up a new instrument and a song comes out, but usually I hear a song in a dream, or it flashes through my mind during the day, and I hum it into my phone. Later I go and plunk it out on guitar, and then a word will come to me which becomes the title. After that the lyrics happen. The whole process usually takes ten minutes to an hour. For the most part, I just listen to the music and the words I hear drifting through my head space and record them as they find me.

Will you be doing another Gothic folk album in the future? Or do you think you might try a different genre?

I can’t control the music. It comes when it comes, and takes whatever form it takes. There is no criterion and I have no expectation for the music to come in any form. I have a couple of hundred parts and pieces of songs that have come to me. Some are marches, others orchestra pieces, some sound kind of pop-punk-ish. I don’t know what the music is going to do. I don’t anticipate it, and I don’t project my expectations onto it.

For example, “Throe” was a collection of horror punk songs that I recorded 15 years ago and just found last year. That’s what the music sounded like in my head, so that’s what came out in the studio. My upcoming record “Torment - An Acoustic Tribute To Danzig” is going to be an acoustic collection of songs by The Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig. I heard the rough first draft of our cover of Danzig’s song “How The Gods Kill” and so far I really like it. It sounds similar to Eleutherios in mood and atmosphere, but more developed and stronger. All in all, this is probable better termed a Gothic Folk tribute to Danzig, Samhain, and The Misfits, but most people don’t know Samhain, and Gothic Folk is pretty new to many ears, so an Acoustic Tribute to Danzig will make more sense to most listeners.

Was Eleutherios well-received by the critics? By listeners?

We keep getting royalties from listeners who keep spinning it, buying the CD, and downloading tracks, and we have had dozens of very positive reviews, many of which were truly glowing. We’ve won top honors in the global music awards, radio music awards, indie music channel awards, IMEA awards, etc., in addition to 13 “For Your Consideration” placements in the first round of the 58th Grammy awards. The judges and critics for all of those competitions are seasoned industry veterans and they seemed to like “Eleutherios” well enough to put their names and reputations behind it in high-profile industry publications like “Billboard”, so I think it would be fair to say that the album was well received by both critics and listeners.

Will you be touring in the near future? If so, where?

Yes. We have a short West Coast tour coming up, as well as a mountain cities tour, and then an extended European tour all scheduled for this year.

It’s presumptuous to ask at this point, but are there any new songs on the drawing board? If so, when do you plan to go back into the studio?

Not presumptuous at all. I’ve been very vocal about the upcoming projects. I’m back in the studio right now working on “Torment - An Acoustic Tribute to Danzig”. We also have a new full-length album of original content called “Tremble” that we need to record this year. The label is getting a bit grouchy because I have been dragging my heels, so I need to get on it. We have four or five songs for it already. I’m just waiting on the music to manifest, and then we will complete it.

I have a bunch of new instruments - handmade Greek lyres, traditional Indian instruments like sitars, really spacey sounding steel tongue drums, and electric guitars with the hottest pickups that can rage with the best of them. I’m not sure which, if any, of those sounds will end up on the full-length album of new original songs, but I think that it gives the music more opportunity to manifest in different forms.

If you look at the spine of Eleutherios you will see that it says “Sphere Ten”. “Throe” has the words “Sphere Nine”, so it would appear that we are counting down to something, which should tell you a bit about what we have planned as far as new material goes.

Gothic folk music is dark. That being said, what is it about Gothic folk that attracts you?

What you call “dark”, I call romantic, and I mean that in the classical sense of romanticism as the glorification of all aspects of the human condition. Sure, songs like “Immured” contain themes of death, betrayal, and hauntings, but there’s a reason the story of a bride immured into a wall on her wedding day has permeated European culture for centuries. There are beautiful, life affirming, themes in that story in spite of, and sometimes because of, the apparently tragic themes.

Life is a continuing struggle to balance the experiences of suffering and peace. Too much, or too little, of either one causes severe mental distress. If you listen closely to Eleutherios, both to the individual songs, and to the album as a whole concept, you will see this struggle, and go on a journey where that balance is sought, and eventually attained. The songs were arranged in a very specific way so that the entire album is a journey. The individual tracks have been able to stand independent of the whole on the radio and through sales as singles, but if you aren’t listening to the entire album in sequence and going on the journey, you are missing out on most of the experience.

I am not especially attracted to Gothic Folk as a genre, especially since it didn’t exist as a genre until very recently, and the few of us creating Gothic Folk music are still defining what that means. I don’t think that I have any acoustic or folk artists on any of my playlists. Most of what I listen to falls into the rock, metal, punk, and industrial categories.

WITH ‘ELEUTHERIOS’ NIC NASSUET BRINGS BACK THE ART OF PERFORMANCE April 27, 2015 • scally by R.B. Sloane

Nic Nassuet – Twitter: Eleutherios

Cat Arthur, Nic Basset and Catrina Grimm Cat Arthur, Nic Basset and Catrina Grimm

Actually focusing on entertaining the audience is a rare thing these days. So many artists seem fine with playing some version of themselves but it takes a true artist to slip in and out of roles, to fully and thoroughly pull in the audience or listener. Back in the day, you had Freddie Mercury, Roger Daltry, Robert Plant and the like… Now it’s all too real and fourth wally for me.

Meet Nic Nassuet and Catrina Grimm, the king and queen of gothic folk. The pair bring all of their theatre experience, writing, and musical stage presence out to play on Nassuet’s latest project Eleutherios.

Nassuet and Grimm compliment each other vocally and are equally dedicated to fulfilling a complete experience for their audience. Fine live performers. Find studio partners. They exceed expectation.

Sounding a bit like Nick Cave, but mostly like himself, Nassuet doesn’t shy away from drawing deep emotions out of his listeners. Nassuet has aptly branded his music acoustic horror punk and gothic folk, replete with a string quartet.

Eleutherios could be a rock opera, could be a sound score for any number of film genres, a hoity toity ampitheatre performance, or a big show for an arena. Nic Nassuet and Catrina Grimm can scale it up or down, depending upon the fire code.

I offer up two tracks from Nassuet’s record. First up, “She Rides Moonlight.” Very Nick Drake. Very b-side Kansas and I loved those b sides. “She Rides Moonlight” – besides being a well named song – is all shimmery in that total rock opera way.

Nassuet brings a rawness to the sparse and driving “When It Falls.” This track is a good indication of the kind of magic Nassuet and Grimm can do with just a few instruments. That stripped down power… that’s their thing.

Nassuet is acoustic, operatically punk, or mysterious and dark. I applaud that. Someone had to pick up where theatre nerd-turned rocker Meatloaf left off. What’s truly hot about their music is the way they approach story. You want to listen and keep listening to Nic Nassuet and the lady Grimm.

And that’s quite a feat in a world sans attention spans and bereft of the art of performance.

Pop Dose[14],

ALBUM REVIEW: Nic Nassuet, ‘Eleutherios’ written by Allison Johnelle Boron With a background in punk, rock, and metal bands glimmering alongside a few pivotal roles in musicals like Sweeney Todd (in which he played the “demon barber”), Los Angeles-based artist Nic Nassuet has combined his mixed-bag of influences into Eleutherious, a nine-track collection of Gothic folk and dark pop that offers the listener a surprisingly accessible experience.

Channeling figureheads like Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley, Nassuet combines a wholly folky sound with vocals that sometimes ebb on stadium-rock worthy. On “Cross and Crown,” the album’s opener, he beckons the listener in with smooth, lulling melodies before unleashing his rockier side, but creates a super listenable barometer against which the rest of the album is measured. Simply put, each track builds on the one before it. Some artists don’t understand the importance of creating a cohesive effort within an album format; Nassuet does. Even on sweet, string-heavy “Immured,” he manages to incorporate a little driving rock into a track that might be best classified as chamber music. In fact, Eleutherious contains a few tunes that showcase Nassuet’s softer side, including “Goodnight, Goodbye,” and the mysterious “The Giver.”

For those just dipping their toes into this style of music, however, “When It Falls” might be the best introduction to Nassuet and possibly Gothic folk as a whole. Its pop underpinnings and repetitious chorus render it a complete earworm; it’s definitely the one you’ll be humming later. But I’d also be willing to wager that this album is one you’ll keep around for a long, long time; its evergreen melodies and deep-seated heart and soul make it a staple for anyone’s collection.

OSTED BY KAREN BENARDELLO ON FEBRUARY - 7 - 2016 0 COMMENT Artist: Nic Nassuet; Members: Nic Nassuet – Guitars and Lead Vocals; Catrina Grimm – Background Vocals and Percussion; Edward Hong – Violin; and Cat Arthur – Bass Album: Eleutherios Production: Josh Riccio, Sing Engine Records People can often harrowingly focus on the despair they distressingly encounter throughout their lives. But if they undoubtedly hold onto their hope in their humanity, they’re more likely to realize and accept that their lives can dramatically improve. Award winning singer-songwriter Nic Nassuet has had a long history in creating dynamic dramatics in his music that helps his listeners understand that they can truly take control of their lives, if they remain determined to hold onto their true identity. Combining his natural talent for vibrant, dramatic performance with his love of music, the musician drew on his own life experiences for his latest record, ‘Eleutherios.’ Nassuet’s music often finds itself rooted in the dark, mysterious and melodic, which he strongly showcases through the strength of conviction in his voice. That allows him to form an energetic connection with his audiences, and prove to them that they overcome their anguish and achieve the life they desire. The first song on ‘Eleutherios’ is the entrancing ‘Immured,’ which chronicles the agonizing tale of a bride meeting her untimely death. Joined by backup vocalist Catrina Grimm, Nassuet chronicles the painful exchange between his tortured groom and the love that he’s losing. The agonizing story between the doomed couple, which is driven by a powerful acoustic guitar, makes the debut track on the album complex and gripping. The song’s tragic romance is driven by his maddening obsessions and how he’s still continuously feeling her presence, despite knowing that the relationship has ended. The record then moves into one of it’s greatest entries, the intensely rocked-infused ‘When It Falls,’ which chronicles how Nassuet has been rendered helpless. Set against a passionate guitar, percussion and bongo beats, the musician revels in the fact that death has taken a peaceful form. Nassuet’s vocals are infused with a vulnerability as he sings about how he can’t feel anything. He grippingly notes that he has started hunting his own dream and is trying to make it on his own way. But he feels that he’s never going to make it without the woman he loves, and after losing her, he got lost within himself. ‘Eleutherios’ then flows into the emotionally-driven song, ‘Black Dress.’ Aided by a soulful violin and subdued guitar, Nasuet addresses the familiarity of what is inevitable-he has fallen prey to the glamour of a mesmerizing silver screen siren. While the chorus ultimately becomes predictable and somewhat tedious towards the end of the track, the singer still enthralling sings about how he was captivated by the woman as she wore the black dress. He also intriguingly notes how he became emotional over the way she commands a strong presence in society. An alluring sense of understated drama then continues on the album’s first single, ‘She Rides Moonlight.’ The song is mostly notably driven by acoustic and subtle chords and a sense of tribute in its instruments, particularly the violin. While Nassuet’s vocals aren’t as commanding on the track as the previous entries on the record, he will surely capture many listeners’ sympathy when he sings how his love for a woman has taken control of his life. ‘Goodnight Goodbye’ is the next captivating track on ‘Eleutherios,’ as Nassuet offers a telling glimpse into his soul as a romantic outsider with the help of an alluring guitar. The musician harrowingly sings about how he constantly hears the voice of the woman he loves, but that does little to reassure him as he contemplative over where his life is headed. Even though he feels like his life is passing him by, he’s determined not to experience any more pain and suffering. Nassuet’s latest album then transitions into the captivating entry ‘The Giver,’ which finds its strength in a deep simplicity. Driven by a taunting guitar and a bittersweet nostalgic violin, the singer grippingly reveals that he nowhere to run to as he tries to move on with his life. While he also emotionally notes can sometimes see the light, he feels that it will never shine on him, as all hope for him is gone. ‘Eleutherios’ then transitions into another one of its most note-worthy tracks, the emotionally-driven ballad, ‘The Nothing.’ With the help of raw emotions and a gripping violin, Nassuet sings that he’s accepting that his soul is fading. He feels like there’s nothing left inside of him to offer the woman he loves. So he urges her to walk away, so that he can let the fire in his soul wither and fade. The rustic blues-inspired ‘Down’ is the next entry on the musician’s new record. Propelled by a gritty violin, Nassuet emotionally sings about how a woman’s forever in his soul, and the two are harrowingly dragging each other down. ‘Eleutherios’ ends with the acoustic guitar-driven track, ‘Cross and Crown,’ on which Nassuet’s domineering hard-rock vocals are driven by charged emotion as he sings about the nuances of tragedies. As he notes that his heart is crumbling and prays for deliverance, he also reveals that the woman he loved initially waited for him. He also emotionally notes that there isn’t any hope of recovering from her subsequent deep betrayal of not truly staying with him until he could truly be with her. People can often harrowingly focus on the disappointment they upsettingly encounter throughout their lives. But if they undoubtedly hold onto their hope in their humanity, they’re more likely to accept that their lives can dramatically improve. Nassuet once again created dynamic dramatics in his latest Gothic folk and acoustic album, ‘Eleutherios,’ which will help his listeners understand that they can truly take control of their lives, if they can hold onto their true identity and dreams. Combining his natural talent and love of music, the singer-songwriter drew on his own life experiences for his new songs, which often finds themselves rooted in the dark, mysterious and melodic. That allows him to form an energetic connection with his audiences, and prove to them that they overcome their anguish and achieve the life they seek.

and The Big Takeover[16]

by Cody Conard Nic Nassuet is a singer/songwriter from Hollywood, and has just released his new gothic folk album, Eleutherios. There’s a strong air of 80’s gothic bands like Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy throughout the album, especially on songs backed with a fuller sound like “Down.” This injection of influences on even the quieter, folky songs like “The Nothing” and “Cross and Crown,” means he often veer towards the Neofolk genre, pioneered by the likes of Death In June and Current 93. But Nassuet lacks the true esotericism of these bands, so they end up sounding closer to the psychedelic and melancholy folk of Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley.

Backed with strings and *Catrina Grimm*on background vocals, they invariably end up sounding majorly baroque on ballads like “Immured.” It is on these moments, especially on the album closer “She Rides Moonlight,” that they’re at their greatest and even verge on true beauty. If only they leaned less on a gothic rock crutch and put more emphasis on the baroque and softer elements the album would be even stronger, but as it is there still some fine moments on this record. Eleutherios may be uneven at times, but when it tries to be Pink Moon instead of Floodland, there begins to be glimpses of something truly inspired that could only grow with time.



have also referred to his signature style as "Gothic Folk" and the Global Music Awards gave Nassuet a gold medal for "Alternative Rock Gothic Folk"[17].

Nic Nassuet, critically acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and rocker, has just had his debut album Eleutherios, listed among Global Music Awards' Top Ten Albums of 2015, alongside current Grammy nominees. His studio effort that was released in April of this year, houses a dynamic collection of sounds drawing inspiration from folk, acoustic, Gothic, and other genres. Thus, the album has been lauded for its immensely creative direction, lyrical prowess, and instrumental tact.

Your music is very personal. Tell us about the soul of your music.

I really don't know how to describe the soul of this music. I should start by saying that I don't really write music and I don't consider myself a musician in the classical sense. The music comes to me randomly at times, mostly in dreams and then words start to form in the dark regions of my mind and those become titles and lyrics. It is more of an exercise in listening than anything else. The soul of the music, or source of inspiration, remains a mystery to me. A mystic would say that the source is external, a materialist would attribute it to my subconscious communicating with my consciousness. I try not to judge or evaluate but simply accept it and try to provide the best outlet and vehicle for the music that I can.


Your music seems lyrics driven. Talk about your lyrics.

I think that as a singer from a very early age my mind tends to focus on lyrics more than anything else in a song. If I can't sing along to it then I don't usually listen to it. Similarly, if the lyrics are not meaningful to me then I cannot connect to a piece, regardless of how well-crafted the song is. There are many artists whose voices, or songs, I was not particularly fond of until I heard the lyrics and then fell in love with the artist and their message.

The lyrics part of my process comes after I hear the song. The way the whole thing usually works is that I hear a snippet of a song in my head, most often in a dream, but sometimes while moving about the house at random throughout the day. When I hear the music I have to rush to my phone, even in the middle of the night, to hum the song into my voice recorder app or else I will lose it. However, there have been a few instances where a song has been persistent and has haunted me until I gave it life.

Later I revisit the song and plunk it out on a guitar. I cannot read music and do not know notes, chords, scales or even string names so I cannot write it out, everything has to be auditory. While plunking it out I really get to know the song and it starts to communicate with me in depth. Most often it gives me a word which becomes the title or theme of the song. From there other words form around that original word those words become the lyrics and the song comes to life.


Review Fix said of your music, If Edgar Allen Poe was in a band, he’d be in one with Nic Nassuet. What do you think they mean by that observation?

I think that Review Fix was comparing the darker poetic themes of Eleutherios to the works of Edgar Allen Poe, which is very high praise. Some of the songs on Eleutherios are stories with characters and a plot so the comparison to a storyteller is not inaccurate. I never expected to be compared to such a great artist though, I find it very humbling.

As your music matures, its likely to change. It has been said that your music echoes genres such as horror punk and garage. Perhaps it is an impossible question, but in your mind’s eye what sound and meaning do you want your music to have in fifteen years?

You are correct, that is an impossible question. I am not a person with many wants. I think it would be more fair to say that I do what the music wants, and as long as the music wants me I will continue to do my best to bring it into being. What form the music will choose to take in the future is a mystery to me. At present, the music tells me to purchase new instruments because it wants to speak through the tones and notes of Ancient Greece and India for now, so I have acquired a number of strange and exotic instruments to better serve the music.

I trust that the music knows what is best. I had never even held a mandolin, but the music told me to buy one. I ordered one on the internet and She Rides Moonlight came out of the instrument when I held it. That song has gone on to be placed in movies, won awards, added to compilations and played on many radio stations around the world. I had no idea what I was doing. The music can, and probably will, take many forms in the future. I will not know them until they happen.


Tell us about the fellow musicians with whom you play. How do they influence your sound?

It's a very strange collaboration live. Our sound changes depending on who is in the backing band. Many times it is just me and a guitar. Other times we will have bass, Cajon guitar and hand percussion. It just depends on who is available. In the studio I sometimes find musicians who have an interesting instrument and ask them to contribute to the sound. Sometimes it works better than I had imagined. Other times, it doesn't sound as good as I had hoped and so we scrap that instrument's track.


If your music is a gift to your fans, what do you want them to say about that gift?

I don't know that it is a gift to fans but the songs are intended for others as much as, if not more than, the songs provide catharsis for me. I feel very strongly that the people who are supposed to hear these songs will hear them and resonate with them as long as I do my best to provide the right sounds, people, work ethic, and publicity to the music. However, I am keenly aware that this music is not for everyone. There are people who need it and I hope that they find it.

I don't want people to say anything about the music other than what they want to say. If you enjoy it and it is meaningful to you, I am happy that I was able to help facilitate your pleasure in some small way. If it is not to your liking, that's alright too.

This award winning singer songwriter’s rise to prominence in the independent community has been a long time coming ever since his debut on the stage, where he initially got to stretch his vocal chops. Soon, though, Nassuet pioneered a style of his own, combining vibrant, dramatic performances with a myriad of influences. Everything from traditional Celtic music to grunge, folk, punk, and blues makes of Nassuet’s unique sound.



Review Fix said that Nassuet was able to put a definable face on the Gothic Rock genre[18].

If Edgar Allen Poe was in a band, he’d be in one with Nic Nassuet.

Combining poetic lyrics and solid and deep musicianship thanks to a slew of solid musicians behind him, Nassuet is able to put a definable face on the Gothic Rock genre for anyone who either had no idea what it was or had prior predispositions.

Eerily charming, soft and silky, yet powerful and dark, Nassuet’s work would fit in perfectly in a video game the likes of “Castlevania” or “Silent Hill.”

While many tracks feel and sound like lullabies, there’s a power before his vocals at times that add an extra element as well. However, it’s the softer stuff that will resonate with non-fans of the genre the most. Tracks like “The Giver” and “Good Night, Goodbye,” make great use of violin and guitar and thanks to the imagery provided by Nassuet’s voice, it’s almost like a look at something living and breathing. In the case of “The Giver,” it’s almost like a track that Jack Skellington would sing to his child (if he had one) in “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” It makes sense considering Nassuet’s background in theatre, but to those who have never seen him before, it’ll just be an interesting song that makes you think.

With an almost Jim Croce/Shawn Mullins start from Nassuet on the guitar, “Good Night, Goodbye” is also a beautiful, softer piece that is surprisingly dark and Poe-esque. After a few listens, you’ll sing along, wondering when you, indeed, went goth. But have no fear, it’s just a catchy track, powered by solid lyrics. In the end, his music can easily be labeled, but shouldn’t. It’s just well-polished and dark.

“Black Dress” showcases a more gruff side of Nassuet, an angry folk-ballad where he sounds a bit like Neil Diamond. Add in more violin from Edward Hong and a catchy hook and it’s very easy to become a fan of Nassuet’s work. On “Immune,” Nassuet is able to add another element in Catrina Grimm on backup vocals, adding more goth to formula. With a nice amount of layers already, Grimm’s equally as sexy and taut voice puts the song over the top.

Solid on the guitar and chilling on vocals, he’s definitely something different. Although his stuff isn’t the most radio-friendly, it’s deep, thought-provoking and without a doubt polished.



Indie Habit suggested Nassuet's music to fans of goth, punk, horror rock, folk, Celtic, grunge, punk and neofolk music[20]

If you’re not a fan of Goth rock or horror punk music, don’t let the cover art of Nic Nassuet’s new album “Eleutherios” scare you off. To call Nic Nassuet’s music a hybrid is an understatement. Nic is trying to live in the Goth world but this record is not your typical Goth offering. It is so much more that will appeal to fans of several genres. Yes, this record will appeal to those disciples of Goth and punk and horror rock but it will also appeal to fans of folk, Celtic, grunge, punk and neofolk music. Violins, mandolins and cellos are not the typical instrumentation of Goth rock but this record is not typical in any sense of the word.

Nassuet is a seasoned performer, and not simply a musical performer. His stage presence is honed from years of work in musical theater (“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street”, “Side Show”, “Doomsday Cabaret”) and he brings his music to life through that magic he exudes from the stage. One thing that is immediately noticeable from a casual listening of the album is the passion and emotion dripping from every track. Not many performers can impart that level of dedication and fervor through a record but Nic succeeds on all fronts. Nassuet is an award winning songwriter and his songs are well crafted and the arrangements show off the material to perfection.

Thematically, Nassuet’s music fits squarely in the Goth rock sphere. The title of the album, Eleutherios conjures up images of ancient Greek bacchanalia but musically, this offering is much harder to classify. The music is so universal that it should win over fans of multiple genres and appeal to fans of almost any genre. The best tracks on the album are ‘Black Dress’, ‘When It Falls’, ‘Down’ and ‘She Rides Moonlight’. If you get the opportunity to see Nic Nassuet live, it is a show you won’t want to miss. Highly entertaining and very enjoyable.

Blogcritics compared his style to the Celtic music, Operatic Rock, and Grunge genres[21].

“Liberator”—that’s what the album’s title, Eleutherios, means in Greek. I’m not quite sure what Nic Nassuet had in mind with this title, but it could be that he is trying to both liberate himself from the restraints imposed by today’s music standards, while at the same time free himself from various demons and ghosts that seem to haunt most of the 10 tracks on Eleutherios, which was released late last month. It comes as no surprise then, that trying to place this album in a category becomes somewhat of a futile attempt at tidiness. It’s a little bit of gothic rock and folk, has strong accents of acoustic music with clear whiffs of traditional Celtic elements, and goes into operatic rock territory at times. While it sometimes feels that Hollywood, California’s Nassuet is trying and failing to go full on gothic with his music, it gives the tracks a certain real edge in that most people are licked constantly by despair rather than immersed in its dark, raging depths. Through the use of rather poetic and simple, yet meticulously built soundscapes, Nassuet walks listeners through the darkness without leaving them to drown. Nassuet (guitar, vocals) and Catrina Grimm (backing vocals) are the only permanent members of this artistic endeavour, which is helped by the likes of Josh Riccio (percussion, background vocals, and effects) and William Stewart (violin, bass, viola, and cello). There seems to be three major categories of songs on this release. The first is composed of acoustic guitar-led tracks. “Cross and Crown” and “Goodnight, Goodbye” also feature vocals echoing as if in a big empty space, giving them a certain sense of grandeur and depth. “Goodnight, Goodbye” has short bursts of a choir doing backing vocals that add a bit of an auditory tingle to the listening experience. Its overall feel is that of a dark lullaby that would fit nicely on any angst-filled television series. The mid-tempo “When It Falls” brings in quite a few instruments—violin, cello, bass, and guitar—yet manages to remain, interestingly enough, quite sparse. Anthemic at certain moments, it captures a little bit of the 1990s grunge spirit.


The second category could be defined as simply layered rocks songs. “Down” features the contrasting, yet complementary sounds of delicate strings and Nassuet’s harsh and almost defiant vocals. The plucked guitar notes that open “Black Dress” bring to mind a red flamenco dress, an impression very quickly rectified by Nassuet’s harsh vocals and the familiar rock melody that kicks in. An almost shy violin highlights the song throughout but still leaves it a little too bare at times, which could have been avoided with just a single extra layer—some drums, for example. The third category of tracks are operatic rock style ballads. “Immured” opens with strings, giving it a certain sense of grandeur while the guitar strumming brings the tune back down to the ground. Similarly, Catrina Grimm’s almost dainty vocals, which blend with the delicately played strings, contrast with Nassuet’s harsher, angst-ridden vocals that complement the guitar-driven melody. “The Nothing” is more of the same—string opening, guitar strummed, vocals echoing as if in a big empty space—while the subdued vocals in “The Giver” make it a little different from the other songs in this category. Nassuet’s Eleutherios features solid instrumentation, interesting melodies, and a unique mixture of sounds and styles. The album is not for everyone and might seem like a tease to some, as it touches upon numerous genres without making a commitment to any of them. More information can be found on his official website, and a selection of songs is available for streaming on Bandcamp.

Indie Mutiny simply referred to Eleutherios Folk Rock or Alternative Rock[22],

On Nic Nassuet’s newest release, “Eleutherios,” he combines guitar, violin and vocals to create a collection of passionate and stirring songs. His style could be described as Folk Rock or Alternative Rock, but he brings something unique to each of these genres with his edgy acoustic style combined with the beauty of strings and pure female vocals.

My favorite aspect of this album is the way Nassuet brings a rock sensibility into the melodic tones of the violin, piano, guitar and other vocals. This gives his songs a unique sound as they are infused with both the rock feel of Nassuet’s voice and the melodic feel of his other elements. This sound seems to set a dark, moody tone that is intriguing and easy to get into.


This balance of rough edge and sweet melody is evident in songs like “Immured” which seems like a dance between male and female vocals that are at times unexpected because of their dissimilarity. But the difference in vocals is yet another way Nassuet achieves the fusion of rock with a softer sound. Both elements add passion to his music, and they balance each other. Nassuet is quite innovative and kept me interested in each song with this style.

On songs like “Goodnight, Goodbye,” Nassuet shows the diversity of his sound and talent as it is a soft, acoustic song in which his voice is sweet and mellow. This varies from songs in which he uses his voice more powerfully to create a fuller and more passionate sound. I really like songs like “Goodnight, Goodbye,” because its stripped back sound showcases Nassuet’s vocal and instrumental talent found in their simplicity.

I think this album is original and fascinating—unlike many singer/songwriters that make music today, Nic Nassuet finds a way in each song to infuse different styles and create unique, diverse but balanced music. I think he breathes new life into the Folk Rock genre.



and Big Sky State Buzz said that Eleutherios contained hints of Rock and Roll[23]


NIC NASSUET’S ALBUM ‘ELEUTHERIOS’ TAKES YOU ON A RAW JOURNEY DOWN SOME EMOTIONAL AVENUES

The first thing you’ll notice listening “Eleutherios,” the new album from L.A. singer Nic Nassuet, is how his vocals use raw, gritty, emotional tones in varied ways. Nassuet labels himself as gothic folk, but you’ll also find hints of rock n roll in there, even if he keeps things strictly acoustic.

Some of the album’s highlights include “Immured,” “The Giver” and “She Rides Moonlight.”

Nic Nassuet pressIf you’re looking for a track that’s more original than any of the others, “Immured” definitely checks that box. Having spirited female vocals provided by Catrina Grimm in the verses as Nassuet handles the chorus, along with the eerie fiddle/acoustic guitar backing instrumentals, makes this song soar.

On an album filled with eerie sounds, “The Giver” may be the eeriest. The guitar, the way Nassuet whispers/sings the lyrics and the words themselves make for something that sounds like it belongs in a vampire movie, and not one of those lame ones filled with glitter.

Then, on “She Rides Moonlight,” which closes out the album, Nassuet shows his gentle side in a song that takes you on an epic journey of discovery. The imagery of a woman riding the moonlight is one that works. It’s a powerful picture that makes the song that much more textured, along with the faint female backup vocals.

Overall, while Nassuet sounds quite a bit like acts such as Guns n Roses or Jeff Buckley, once you get past those comparisons, you’ll start to discover the true mastery of this album. Nassuet’s greatest strength is his powerful and raw singing voice. He can sing loudly, he can sing softly, and he can do a little of both on the same track at times. It’s a real joy to hear on nearly every track.

The world has taken notice of Nassuet’s gifts, too, as “Eleutherios” was recently named as among the top 10 albums of 2015 by the Global Music Awards. He was one of only a few Americans who made the list, as well as the only rock or alternative name on the list. He also was awarded three Global Music Awards gold medals for Album, Emerging Artist, and Alternative Rock: Gothic Folk. GMA Gold medalists have performed for the UN, Heads of State, Popes, and won Grammmys. The Global Music Awards recognition launches Nassuet into a very exciting 2016 which will see him touring across the globe where he will be bringing his music to new frontiers.

Before becoming a solo act, Nassuet served as the front-man for several metal and punk bands. Drawing on his life-experience Nassuet’s music often finds itself rooted in the dark, mysterious and melodic, his official bio states.

“He makes music that perfectly captures the despair and hope in our humanity, and communicates it flawlessly through the strength of conviction in his voice and energetic connection with audiences,” it says.

Nassuet has been compared to Jim Morrison [24]


She Rides Moonlight is a tender track that touches upon an earlier musical tradition even as Nic Nassuet and featured vocalist Catrina Grimm create something that speaks to current styles of music. The deliberate composition that begins this track will have fans on the edges of their seats, making them eager to hear the narrative that Nassuet weaves through the composition.


nicnassuetfeatcatrinagri

The dynamic between the instrumental and the vocal elements during She Rides Moonlight pushes each into a higher plateau; the fluidity of this track makes for a much more compelling composition. The journey which Nic sends listeners is a fulfilling one; there are twists and turns taken here that will take a number of listens to fully appreciate. The ability to listen to She Rides Moonlight as an innocuous composition or as something deep and dense is up to the listeners and makes for a considerably different experience. It is precisely this quality that makes Nassuet such a compelling performer; the track’s mastering is sharp enough to make either decision a fulfilling one.

Perhaps the most impressive part of She Rides Moonlight has to be the vocal range expressed by Nic; from lows to highs, the Jim Morrison meets Geoff Tate aural finesse will stick with listeners long after the track ceases.

Jeff Buckley [26]

Nic Nassuet rewrites the singer-songwriter user’s manual. Singer-songwriter Nic Nassuet was practically raised on-stage; he has starred in challenging and pivotal roles in critically-acclaimed musicals like Sweeney Todd in “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street,” Terry Connor in “Side Show,” and the original rock-musical “Doomsday Cabaret.”

Combining his natural talent for vibrant, dramatic performance with his love of music, Nic Nassuet went on to be the front-man for several metal and punk bands before eventually going his own creative route. Today Nic Nassuet uses acoustically based instruments like the mandolin, guitar, violin and the upright bass to make his signature, genre-defying music. Currently Nic Nassuet has released two singles “Black Dress,” and “Immured”, which are captivating audiences worldwide.

Nic Nassuet is a singer-songwriter who will remind of you of the eclectic spare acoustic folk sounds of Nick Drake, though Nassuet is apt to dust them with influences quite often in the form of violins and mandolins. Vocally, he reminds me of a mix of intense intimacy of Lindsay Buckingham and the raunchy grittiness of Axl Rose.


Nassuet to me, has found a perfect balance between complication and simplicity that has an almost nirvana effect on the soul. He has stripped everything down to the essentials of pure beauty – poetic lyrics, warm melodies, and selective instrumentation. Yet his music is as intense, fierce and rapacious as the gothic intonations of any axe-wielding heavy metal band.

Nic-Nassuet-250Nic Nassuet is superb on all levels that he needs to be. He is an absolutely first rate songwriter, moreover he is a truly unique performer .I couldn’t for the life of me, easily imagine any of his songs being performed by any other artist but himself; probably because he is an exceptional vocalist -singing softly to a full-throated bellow, in an almost impossibly gravelly but pure voice -that often borders on omnipotence and unorthodox phrasing.

Finally, Nassuet is a superb instrumentalist, who isn’t interested in virtuosity but in playing the most musically appropriate accompaniment for each song. Some artists are more focused on becoming the best instrumentalists or singers they can become, while others are more focused on becoming the best musicians they possibly can become. That important distinction applies here, in that Nic Nassuet seems far less concerned with what he does instrumentally than what he can do musically.

I rarely become so enamored with a musician’s style, vocal and instrumental, that I immediately find it necessary to search for all of the music they’ve created, but Nic Nassuet perfectly fits this rare category.

“Black Dress,” and “Immured”, has some sort of spark, a creative stamp that when you listen to it, you can tell something wonderful is happening in your presence. It’s like an experience unto its own. Nassuet has such an intriguing and novel slant on the whole acoustic scene which is hard to ignore or even attempt to resist.


There is a tendency in audiences to try to assimilate and compare something powerful and original to another – to grasp or hold onto the known. But with Nic Nassuet, this tendency won’t hold. Nassuet rewrites the singer-songwriter user’s manual like Ritchie Havens, Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake and other legendary artists did before him.

On “Black Dress”, Nic Nassuet enters on a steady strum, slowly threading a compelling head swaying beat infused by vigor and powerful imagery, bringing back the raw essence of what music should be about -feelings and emotion. Hard at work on new material, we can only hope that Nassuet continues to take music in a totally different direction than what we’re currently acquainted with!

With a background in punk, rock, and metal bands glimmering alongside a few pivotal roles in musicals like Sweeney Todd (in which he played the “demon barber”), Los Angeles-based artist Nic Nassuet has combined his mixed-bag of influences into Eleutherious, a nine-track collection of Gothic folk and dark pop that offers the listener a surprisingly accessible experience.

Channeling figureheads like Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley, Nassuet combines a wholly folky sound with vocals that sometimes ebb on stadium-rock worthy. On “Cross and Crown,” the album’s opener, he beckons the listener in with smooth, lulling melodies before unleashing his rockier side, but creates a super listenable barometer against which the rest of the album is measured. Simply put, each track builds on the one before it. Some artists don’t understand the importance of creating a cohesive effort within an album format; Nassuet does. Even on sweet, string-heavy “Immured,” he manages to incorporate a little driving rock into a track that might be best classified as chamber music. In fact, Eleutherious contains a few tunes that showcase Nassuet’s softer side, including “Goodnight, Goodbye,” and the mysterious “The Giver.”

For those just dipping their toes into this style of music, however, “When It Falls” might be the best introduction to Nassuet and possibly Gothic folk as a whole. Its pop underpinnings and repetitious chorus render it a complete earworm; it’s definitely the one you’ll be humming later. But I’d also be willing to wager that this album is one you’ll keep around for a long, long time; its evergreen melodies and deep-seated heart and soul make it a staple for anyone’s collection.

[31],

Take the acoustic balladry of Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley and wrap it in a rock ‘n’ roll exterior and you’ll find something close to “gothic folk”: this is what award-winning singer-songwriter Nic Nassuet is all about. The Hollywood artist’s latest record Eleutherios has netted him a plethora of raving reviews, and Nassuet has put his best foot forward with the album’s lead single ‘She Rides Moonlight’.

‘She Rides Moonlight’ sees Nassuet depart from the gravelly, hard-edged rock ‘n’ roll vocals found on the majority of the album. Instead, he spills out melodies with the same smooth tone you’d hear from Jim Morrison. In fact, the whole song is very reminiscent of Jim Morrison’s era, from the ethereal mandolins to the track’s stretched out six and a half minute-length – swaying with languid paces and never in a rush. A delicate troop of strings work together to give this song its graceful, swelling atmosphere, which is at times enriched by sonorous violas, and at other times brightened by dainty violins; it’s a playful balance that’s also romantic in its idle simplicity. “Rest your weary crown on her alabaster breast / Deep within her now, die the little death” – Nassuet’s lyrics paint a love story that fits in idyllic harmony with the acoustic backdrop, and serve as another element in the song’s subtle but mystical aura.

‘She Rides Moonlight’ is an interesting choice for a lead single – it’s not often these days that singles are six and a half minutes long. But it’s a song that is entrancing in its repetitiveness; Nassuet averts the risk of being boring and instead achieves a peacefully lulling effect.

She Rides Moonlight is available from Amazon and iTunes.

ARTIST FEATURE: Nic Nassuet Indie Music NewsApr 30, 2015 Short URL to this article: http://weeklypodcast.net/jor nic nassuetA decorated graduate of the Nick Drake school of mourn-pop, Californian singer-songwriter Nic Nassuet has released his latest album Eleutherios (pronounce that if you can) to a flurry of award nominations. Dark worlds, powerful lyrics and beautiful soundscapes characterise Nassuet's music, which has been called variously gothic folk, gothic rock and - my personal favourite - acoustic horror punk.

Nassuet channels decades as a performer into his music. Taking the lead role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street no doubt stoked his penchant for the macabre, and this, along with various other starring roles in musical theatre, helped him to hone his performance skills and develop a rich vocal dexterity. On the flip side, acting as the frontman for numerous metal and punk bands in his murky past taught Nassuet the importance of rock ’n’ roll stage-craft, giving his particular brand of folk - for want of a better word - balls.

Nic Nassuet has big plans for the future. His multi-instrumental, genre-defying music has been played on terrestrial FM stations across the US and Canada, as well as on digital stations throughout the world. Summer and Fall 2015 will see him undertaking an extensive tour to support the release of Eleutherios, and if recent history is anything to go by, he may well pick up a few more awards to add to his presumably fairly crowded mantelpiece.

When Nic Nassuet sings “let me wither” on “The Nothing,” I believe him. The lush string arrangements emphasize the plea. His album “Eleutherios,” Greek for “free,” sounds like it was rescued from a medieval time capsule then reworked in a modern studio. There’s a delicateness that brings to mind troubadours from centuries ago, but the album is rooted in the kind of dark folk of Nick Cave’s recent albums. You can almost picture Nassuet sitting in a comfortable black velvet armchair, sipping on a strong scotch as he calmly watches the world end. This detachment provides a nice counterpoint for the grim themes, a terrifying lullaby that’s simultaneously soothing in its ability to make peace with the horror. The specific lyrics can veer towards the generic and stall the album from reaching its full potential, but there’s still a lot to appreciate. The melodic hook in the chorus of “When It Falls,” is particularly memorable as is the raw emotion that pulses through “Immured.” My favorite track is the final one, “She Rides Moonlight.” Nassuet’s high-pitched guitar on it is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin’s “Going to California.” It gives the song a melodic lightness that melds with his vocal refrains and gothic-tinged verses to create an irresistible blend of light and dark.

Vocally he has garnered comparisons to singers like Lindsay Buckingham[51]

Creating a distinct atmosphere and focus is often the elusive hallmark of great albums. For many artists, this means painstakingly crafting new worlds while Nic Nassuet manages the same effect through efforts less looming and obvious. Instead it’s as if the entirety of his full length Eleutherios exists within a bleak December field blanketed in bitterly cold snow and blood spilled by fallen soldiers of a civil war. Nassuet’s gloomy gypsy goth style finds life not so much in this field but rather the traces of ghosts and residual events tied to it like realities superimposed on one another.


We can almost hear these overlapping realities twirling divinely in the ethereally misty backing vocals stirring the opening of “Cross and Crown” before acoustic guitar resonating with the crispness of autumn leaves finds itself swept aloft in currents of violin saturated with mythology, forging the perfect pedestal for Nassuet’s own domineering vocal confidence. When delving into black pools of charged emotion, his vocal control is such that passion relinquishes itself to it. Even when belting out the nuances of tragedies, the details that make aspects of the lyrics so real, his command never once falters.


“Down” is rusted, rustic blues, propelled by a gritty hooking beat with the violin shedding a dim warm light across the frigidness that permeates the music. The vocals exude a pre-war soul against a Civil War backdrop of raw nerve blues. The gentle pluck of the acoustic guitar skews eerily into haunting territory with “Immured”, a ghostly duet relying more on tragedy’s romance than its horror. Choruses swell with the torment of relentless visions spurned onward by maddening obsessions. The album finds possibly its most rock-oriented moment in “When It Falls”, a track that pairs the measured violence of guitar strumming against chittering percussion and bongo beats. Even this momentary rebelliousness is possessed with a vulnerable lament courtesy of the phantasmic layered vocals.


Even against the swells of violin, Nassuet’s voice sounds naked in its freezing isolation on “The Nothing.” Vocals with only their own echoes for company populate the cold expanses as if reaching from another dimension far from the simple, stripped acoustic strums and futile longing of violins. The lyrics burn bright like a cinder flaring up before succumbing to the soft, smothering death kiss of the falling snow. “The Giver” finds its power in an even deeper simplicity, infusing a resigned horror through taunting guitar, bittersweet nostalgic violin, and backing vocals that evoke the bizarrely angelic film scores of Danny Elfman. The eerily youthful teasing guitar becomes more playful on “Goodnight, Goodbye” yet still can’t restrain the maudlin and macabre essence that’s soaked into the very fibers of Eleutherios. These morose musings escape in certain hastily plucked notes of the guitar and we’re offered a glimpse of the romantic outsider looking in, snow-burned cheeks illuminated by the warmth of a fire hopelessly cut off by an icy pane of glass.

While “Black Dress” almost recounts an Ennio Morricone Western theme in its opening acoustic damaged ruggedness hanging on wild strings of violin, it soon falls into a determined rhythmic strum while the controlled vocals cry out the weakness of ensnared prey, detailing the bewitching glamour of a spellbinding silver screen siren. A sense of foreboding remains subtle yet conspicuous in certain ominous chords of the chorus. This sense of understated drama continues into the album’s first single, “She Rides Moonlight” which takes advantage of the cinematic sweetness prevalent on Eleutherios with its moon-kissed acoustic chords and a sense of tribute in its subtle orchestral elements.

Eleutherios is an epithet for Dionysus and Eros, gods representing intoxication and love respectively. Yet the album Eleutherios seems to draw its intoxication less out of a sense of revelry and more to dull the pain of love. Inevitably, every line shows such an intense appreciation for beauty that Nic Nassuet’s distinct blend of gypsy goth punk folk is more of an uplifting meditation than a grim affair.

12:54:07, 19 March 2016 review of submission by Infospec52



I am mystified by the rejection of the wikipedia article about Glen Cove Christian Academy. The school did exist and to my knowledge it was the only evangelical Christian boarding school in southern Maine (perhaps all of Maine) in the 20th century. It grew from a small high school of perhaps 20 students in its first year to a high school of approximately 200 plus students and a Bible college of 100 plus students over a period of 20 years.

As for notability, academy alumni went on to graduate from a variety of prestigious universities. Bible college alumni went on to graduate schools or into ministry in dozens of states and foreign countries. The schools impacted the lives of thousands of students over the course of their 20 year existence. And those alumni are now impacting thousands more as they serve in education, commerce, government, medicine, law, and professional ministry.

The mystery escalates as I view other Wikipedia articles that have been accepted in comparison to the article that I authored. I have tried to add supporting citations but am hampered by the fact that the two major newspapers in the state of Maine are not indexed. I have spent several hours paging through microfilm but that is tedious work when there is no index available. Therefor I have relied on a few articles from the local Courier Gazette newspaper and a few references in books. As a graduate of both schools, I believe that I am adequately qualified to write this article and I live next door to the widow of the founder of the school. So with sincere respect I do not understand why my article is rejected when I look at other articles about schools that have perhaps one or two citations and have not come close to graduating the number of students that have graduated from GCCA and GCBC.

While I, respectfully, believe that this article should be accepted as is. I ask for some practical, specific, instructions on what more is required to make this article accepted.

I would like to add that I am a retired school library media specialist and before retiring I was a strong supporter of the value of Wikipedia as a beginning resource for my students. I still value Wikipedia but remain mystified by the rejection of this article.

Finally, I am not sure that I will even be able to convey these thoughts via Wikipedia's system of communication which I find to be not that user friendly.

Forgive my frustration, but this school and preserving its memory is very important to me and my fellow alumni. We feel that the history of these schools is not only important for alumni and our families, but that it is an important part of the history of education and religion in the state of Maine.

Hi!

Hi Sister Twister! I have read already the tips you told me, but i'll do it again and again so I improve my cintributions to Wikipedia. Somewhere i read in the wizard, that one, when you are new, should write your article and then "someone else comes behind and improves it".....of course I would like to write it perfect from the beggining, but as you may know for your extensive experience, it requires sime time to be as perfect as one can be. I intend really to write lots of articles. I am a folkloric music researcher, german and ukrainian specially, and i have written some books. In my research I realized that for example about german songs, there us few in english and nothing in spanish, and i learned lots from the wikipedia and i have siki as the best encyclopedia ever. And about ukrainian songs....nothing in any language, even ukrainian wiki.

So i think i may be contribute with lots and lots of articles, all about folcloric.music, sometimes new and sometimes translations.

I speak ukrainian, german, english amd spanish (german and spanish as native).

I have read also that wikipedia is an encyclopedia that we all make....i write the idea, and you improve it and someone behind improves it further.....super!

I would be glad that you improve my article (and the spanish version), becausr i have seen your work and "it rocks!"

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time for your commentary and review. I understand that more sources would be beneficial, but the conundrum is that while the person I am making a wikipedia article for is actually the Godfather of all agriculture in Bangladesh, he was active during the 40s and 50s and a lot of their work is in print and not immediately linkable on the internet. I have been working with his PhD students who gave me his printed obituary as a basis for the article, and have substantiated his significance with links to prominent scientific societies related to his field.

I do feel I am in a bit of a "bring me a rock" situation, after the previous entry was rejected I was able to find more sources from the Bengal Botanical society and the Bangladesh Academy of Science but am rejected again.

I am tapped out of internet sources, but also feel that I have established notability. What do you recommend in order to get this published?

His PhD students asked me to do this in honor of their mentor and I don't know how to go back to them and say that the sources we've found just aren't enough.

thanks,

19:10:05, 20 March 2016 review of submission by Santaritarange


Hi SwisterTwister:

Thank you for taking the time to review my submission of 19 March 2016 titled Santa Rita Experimental Range.

You suggested that rather than establishing a new page, that I should edit the existing page titled Santa Rita Experimental Range and Wildlife Area.

I prefer not to edit that existing page because there is no officially recognized place or entity called the Santa Rita Experimental Range and Wildlife Area. That name appears on old topographic maps, but there is not administrative unit that is associated with that name.

Alternatively, the name Santa Rita Experimental Range that I described in the page I submitted is a real place and has a real administrative unit, and has been in operation under that name since 1902. Some of the details of that history are in the text I developed and in the references that I listed for that text.

So rather than have me merge into the existing page which has no reference to a place or administrative unit, is it possible to have those authors merge into the page that I created?

Thank you again for helping and I am looking forward to receiving your response.

Cheers,

Hi,

I created this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Towergate_Insurance. your review said Still not enough in-depth third-party sources overall. The source given is Towergate itself, how can we be wrong about the information provided when it's only about the CEO and what we do. I copied the page of AXA to make it acceptabel by Wikipedia. I odnt see how i can be more explicit here — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.171.128.167 (talk) 10:00, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

12:03:29, 21 March 2016 review of submission by Wave26


Hello there SwisterTwister. By the way I already received your feedback regarding to my draft(article) entitled Draft:Kenneth Earl Medrano. I really don't understand why is it my draft is always DECLINED many times. Since the previous reviewer already checked, reviewed and she make some advises on it to me regarding to my draft, and she said on my second message to her that my draft is "already improving" like removing some references as what she suggested to be removed like sources from any sites that related on videos, and also using twitter as a reference, I've already FIXED on it and ALL OF MY REFERENCES to the SUBJECT are VERY VALID, CLEAR, VERY INFORMATIVE and it has NOTABILITY since all of its references came from reliable sources likes newspapers, articles published online by the TV network that the subject is definitely has a REMARKABLE CONTRIBUTION on the world of ENTERTAINMENT. It felt very disappointing to me at this time since I've already submit it "many times" of my draft but, still unacceptable. Sorry to bother this, but it felt very disappointing.
Anyways, in regards to your suggestion to read WP:Entertainer on the rules of "NOTABILITY", I've already read on it. And there's nothing a problem at all that my draft(article) is to be DECLINED since all of the rules stated on Notability has its basis that the subject is PASSED and COMPLY all of the statements of rules given and required by Wikipedia in regards to Notability to the subject. By this time, and I will attached these proofs that my draft(article) will prove to it's reviewers that my draft is VALID and NOTABLE:

  • First, Kenneth Earl Medrano has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. And he has done "remarkable" works in terms of his talent like acting and dancing. He became a part in a local variety show in GMA Network in Cebu before his dubsmash hit "Twerk It Like Miley" became viral.
  • Second, Kenneth Earl Medrano is the one who started and originated to "trend" the song Twerk It Like Miley by Brandon Beal in the Philippines through his dubsmash perfomance that the people catches their attention. That is why his videos became viral that earned 2.6 million views overnight and the rest was history, and that's the reason why he earned the title "THE KING OF DUBSMASH" in the Philippines just what like Maine Mendoza was first discovered and known by people to her before their accidentally paired with Alden Richards and forming their loveteam as Aldub on Kalyeserye, also declaring her as the "THE QUEEN OF DUBSMASH" in the Philippines. In short, Kenneth Earl Medrano is a very popular person and he is very known by people.
  • Third, Kenneth Earl Medrano is already a "public figure" by people before he joined "That's My Bae: Twerk It Dance Contest" on Eat Bulaga! due to his viral videos of dubsmash that gains him popularity on social media. And he was declared as the "Ultimate Bae Grand Winner" on the said contest. So in short, Mr. Medrano is a notable person.
  • Fourth, Kenneth Earl Medrano has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following already for almost a thousand fans followed him, due to his popularity on the viral video he made and after he wins as the "Ultimate Bae Grand Winner" on That's My Bae: Twerk It Dance Contest on Eat Bulaga! and the same he is one of the leader of the dance group that regularly performs and dances on Eat Bulaga!, which is one of the rules stated on WP:Entertainer as one of the requirements that an entertainer is to be notable, so therefore, there's nothing a problem & a questionable reason why is it my draft(article) is still UNACCEPTABLE or DECLINED.
  • Fifth, Kenneth Earl Medrano has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. He already plays and appears on television on GMA Network and one of his major break on his career when he do his major role on Buena Familia as Pacoy Alvero on GMA Network, that caught the people's viewers attention. It's because of their pairing with Kylie Padilla as Celine Buena. His exposure catches the viewers attention, forming their love team as "Kenlie", aside of it's love triangle and rival against Harry, character portrayed by Martin del Rosario. In spite of being a first timer appearance in an actual teleserye, the big impact of the team-up make the people's viewers appreciated and patronized. Because of this Kenneth Earl Medrano makes a contribution and has a remarkable image on television that the people always remember of him through his character role.
  • Sixth, Kenneth Earl Medrano made a "CAMEO ROLE" on the blockbuster movie, "My Bebe Love" which is starred by Vic Sotto, Ai-Ai de las Alas together with Alden Richards & Maine Mendoza.
  • Seventh, Kenneth Earl Medrano already won awards like "Most New Handsome Face" & "Best New Male TV Personality" awarded by Social Media TV Poll (SMTVP).
  • I also believe that the info given is neutral, informative, and non biased.
  • There is no conflict of interest as its purpose is for knowledge and no more.
  • There is neutrality towards my subject as I am of no relation to the subject matter.
  • There is also no conflict of interest as I am of no relation may it be professional or familiar. the only point of the creation of this page is for the general's public knowledge of good design.

At these time if do so, if you could help me with the page I created and define what I need to change, I will do so accordingly.

Through these assessments and proofs I have, I hope that my draft(article) this time will be approved since I already resubmitted it for re-review. And there's no reason at all that my draft is still unacceptable at this moment since all my sources are VALID.
Anyways, in spite of delayed disappointment to my draft, I want to thank you so much for your great help and please help me and assist me on this particular matter, you can look my draft again and please give me some more comments and suggestions if ever what I need to change.

Your close of AFD 1957 Fargo Tornado

Regarding your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1957 Fargo Tornado. You closed it as "Keep", when it was unanimous as "Redirect". And you did Redirect the article. So, I'm guessing the "Keep" was just an error. Is there anyway you can go back and change the template, since the results show on individual AFD stats?

18:26:23, 21 March 2016 review of submission by Gtabasso



Hello there SwisterTwisted! Love that handle.

I read the sources you provided and made sure that the article meets the recommended guidelines. This article is not self-promotion or product placement. People independent of the topic or company have written and published eight non-trivial, reliable, independent works that are noted as References in the article. So, the information is verifiable from neutral news media sources and objective journalists who reported the historical information. I added three additional news sources from the editor of Fresh Water Cleveland and a renowned artist. Both authors have their own Wikipedia pages; so, they are notable. I followed all instructions noted below and triple checked. Can you please review and advise? I appreciate your time and input to make this the best information for people interested in the site’s history and use. This is the advice that I followed: From The answer to life, the universe, and everything: Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. From Notability: Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. Self-promotion, autobiography, product placement and most paid material are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article. The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it—without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter. And If an article fails to cite sufficient sources to demonstrate the notability of its subject, look for sources yourself, or: • Ask the article's creator or an expert on the subject[6] for advice on where to look for sources.

• Place a

tag on the article to alert other editors.

From Referencing: References (or refs or simply reliable sources), on Wikipedia, are important to verify content and inform the reader of its source. Any editor can remove unsupported statements, and unsubstantiated articles may be deleted. When adding content to an article, cite your sources to help readers verify facts or find more details. It is also useful to update or improve existing references. From Verifiability: In Wikipedia, verifiability means that anyone using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it.[1] When reliable sources disagree, present what the various sources say, give each side its due weight, and maintain a neutral point of view.

Hi SwisterTwister. You marked as reviewed this article and a couple of similar ones which were all discussed in an AfD some time ago. Since then an IP has come back occasionally to revert the redirects made as a result of that consensus. You can see in the history of articles like the one I linked that these reversals should themselves be reverted as against consensus, rather than patrolled as correct.

Malachq To add to SwisterTwister's response, it means that the article meets some notability and has a place on Wikipedia. Winterysteppe (talk) 03:19, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Malachq oh one note. The key word is notable. Doens't matter how notable. It has just to be. I remember reading a person who retired and wrote an long-rant why he was leaving Wikipedia for imdb.com. I went over to see his profile on there and it was pretty obvious. He had uploaded so much information on Japanese films that he was one of the top contributors. All on all sorts of Japanese films he could upload. Didn't matter what kind. Minor, even the ones that are rather... obscure. He was mad because Wikipedia wouldn't allow some low-level film produced by some no-name director that could not even reach a film screen. just a thought. any sort of Notability is what matters.

Thank you for reviewing my article. I have made some more improvements, do you have further suggestions?

CNCO page creation was a mistake!

Dear SwisterTwister - I just received a note earlier that you had reviewed a page I created - CNCO. I was confused, as I had only added some references to a draft page for the band at Draft:CNCO and offered my help to User:Borikén when they were ready to create the page. After you notified me that you reviewed the page, I realized that I had done a Redirect of CNCO in February to La Banda (TV series) after I added some images on Wikimedia Commons. Then it looks like another user added some information and my images.

When I got the notification - I didn't know what happened and tried to fix the page a little and notified the Draft page creator Boriken.

What do you think we should do - I wanted Boriken to create the page when they wanted to - and I'm not sure 2 singles is enough to merit a page yet, per notability for musicians - however popular they may soon be - due to their affliation with Ricky Martin.

Should you delete the page - as it was never really created - or do we have to work on it as is? I feel badly for Boriken! Thanks for your help.--Bonnielou2013 (talk) 09:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. - I am quite happy if you just Revert all my edits and make it back into a Redirect page, until it is ready to be put up by Boriken. But, that would mean you would need to revert the edits of the other user who added my photographs and a few unreferenced sentences. Thanks again. Waiting for your decision.--Bonnielou2013 (talk) 09:36, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing

Normally I appreciate your work patrolling new pages, but now I feel like I need to ask just how much attention you're paying to the article you review. Most significantly, I noticed that you didn't tag Non-Cooperation Movement of South Canara - 1836 as having any problems, even though it is unreferenced, uncategorized, lacks a lead, wasn't using proper section headers, and other issues. I also noticed you didn't tag a couple of school stubs. Are you just opening them, marking them as reviewed and closing them? I understand if you don't want to go to the effort to fix the issues yourself, but as a reviewer, you're expected to at least throw the appropriate tags on them. -©2016 Compassionate727(Talk)(Contributions) 18:31, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Elizabeth Spencer

Hi, thanks for reviewing this draft article and commenting. I won't re-submit again. My view (I'm a health researcher publicationlist.org/ben.toth) is that Dr Spencer is not especially notable, though certainly more notable than me! I have no knowledge of her other than that her name appeared on a wikipedia list of women scientists who might benefit from an entry as a way of addressing gender imbalance in the coverage of scientists on Wikipedia. I made a brief entry which was declined. Someone added a few more references, presumably to address the issues, and I re-submitted, mainly because they had taken the time to do so.

I am grateful for the transparency in the review process. There was no mention of holding a professorship as a criteria for notability in there original review. I don't know where her PhD came from and as this seems irrelevant to notability I didn't address this (would she be more notable if her PhD came from Oxford rather than say Bristol, or MIT rather than San Diego? Answer is no) It now seems to me that there is an element of making up the criteria for inclusion of people in wikipedia as one goes along. As this was a subject intended to address potential bias in wikipedias coverage this has been an interesting and instructive episode.

Russell Edwards

DEAR SWISTER TWISTER RE RUSSELL EDWARDS article I understand your comments about insufficient notability re what I wrote about Russell Edwards. Fair enough.

Hi SwisterTwister!!

Please tell me how did you measured the insufficient notability of the article?... your comment doesn't condemn any of the sources (independence, pertinence, reliability, verifiability) or the content of the article, neutrality, any part without been referenced, etc... you simply point to "add more" references. Please take a moment and tell me how much coverage you will consider sufficient to establish the notability of the subject. I really thought that the twenty references adequately mentioned along the article demonstrate significant coverage and would point the notability of the subject clearly. i.e: capable of being noted or worthy of notice. As "Notability is not synonymous with fame or importance." according to the wikipedia Notability Guidelines, so... if you suggest increase the number of references without any other explanation then your opinion seems biased, non-neutral. If you has pointed to an issue with the audience of the references, please note that the accepted criteria was overcomed.

Thanks in advance for your response! Edelmoral (talk) 07:31, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added some more references in order to overcome the notability issue that you pointed, apparently there's not such thing as an excess of references. Looking forward for your feedback. --Edelmoral (talk) 12:56, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SwisterTwister!! Please tell me how did you measured the insufficient notability of the article? Because It's not very clear for me at this point so not easy to improve the article. About this article: Liming_Yue I wrote as references: - IL TEMPO that is an Italian newspaper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_Tempo - LA STAMPA that is an Italian newspaper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Stampa - Martial Arts Illustrated (http://www.maionline.co.uk/magazine) that is the number one magazine in UK about Martial arts (Liming Yue is on FRONT COVER and I placed the link to see the front cover scan) - I placed the links from the site www.cstjq.com (Chen Style Taijiquan.com) This site it's just the NUMBER ONE Governative Chinese site about Taichi. There is nothing bigger than this about Taichi information - I placed the link to www.instituteofchinesemedicine.org that is the biggest institute of Chinese Medicine in London The reason of your rejection is: "the current list sources and what they contain are not solid for notability" Two National Newspapers, The biggest Martial Arts Magazine in UK, The Number 1 Site of Taichi information of Chinese Government, and the biggested Chinese Medicine institute in London are not solid enough?

08:56:45, 25 March 2016 review of submission by Holapian



Hi, I am the author of the article Wang Yingkai and would like to know the reason for the deletion. The article about this figure was actually requested by Wikipedia itself.( You can verified it by searching Wang Yingkai in the 'Biography' category)

As for the concerns that the article lacks in-depth sources, I would say this is misunderstanding: I have provided a number of academic reference. That these sources are mostly Chinese do not undermine their reliability and the lack of English resources is largely caused by this person's anonymity in English academic circle and therefore the extreme difficulty of obtaining English coverage on this person. People who are familiar with Late Qing history would probably know about this person and his importance in the early formation of Beiyang Army.

Hope you would reconsider the article again, much thanks.

As this is my first new page can you expand please on "Imaginably notable and acceptable but this still needs any further available in-depth sources and information."

I have provided two published references for the term both in highly respected and 'on subject' books.

Does this mean the article is not long and detailed enough, or does it mean that two book references are not enough?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

You declined my draft of the IBM System/360 Model 25 because you considered it "still needs any further available in-depth third-party news sources overall for solidity". I understand that you would like to see references other than IBM manuals listed. So would I, but I couldn't find any other public sources, reliable or not. There are articles about System/360, but not specifically about the Model 25. The problem resides in the word "available". A Google search does not show any other publications or articles about the System/360 Model 25, and even if it did, they wouldn't be as complete as the manuals. This is a computer that was withdrawn from market almost 40 years ago. It was used by small companies, that didn't have much space in the news. The only information one can find today comes from IBM publications and archives, and from other antique computer manual databases. The references I used in the article are technical manuals that describe in detail the system characteristics. Now let me tell you why I decided to write an article about this somewhat obscure machine. In the 60s, I was an IBM customer engineer (the IBM term for a maintenance technician), and I was trained in the Model 25. In time, I was promoted to country specialist for this computer, which meant I was the one called when the field technicians couldn't solve a problem. When I realized that the Wikipedia didn't have an article about the Model 25, I decided to write one because I don't think there are many people alive with the same knowledge I have about this machine, and I didn't want it to be completely forgotten. I believe this is the purpose of the Wikipedia: to be a repository for the combined knowledge of its contributors.

Hello,

Thank you for calling on DDG to look at this article. I have been compiling a bibliography and should be adding that as a new section in a few days. I was going to do that before resubmitting the article.

I can also work on the tone.

Content Removed

Hello! Who are you? I created an article on Breanna Yde and I found out you have removed what I uploaded and I would like to know why as this has made me upset and I literally just created that article today and to find out that everything I added is now removed makes me furious. I'd like to know why. Scottstephenjones (talk) 00:47, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

07:22:19, 26 March 2016 review of submission by Js229


Thanks for your time in reviewing this article. The article as you reviewed it contained four separate secondary sources. I think these sources appear in the first instance to satisfy reliability and independence criteria, and three of the sources (not, sadly, the DNB one) contain more than passing discussion of the subject. You make no comment on this, so I am left to guess that you consider that they do not contain significant coverage to establish notability. I think they do: if you are able to articulate why you disagree I might be able to address your concerns. I acknowledge your attempted helpfulness in saying that more sources would be useful but this does not help me understand why you do not consider the article to contain multiple independent significant secondary sources as it is. I am grateful for your feedback that that the argument for notability is not strong, and I agree, but neither is it negligible and to say that it is not strong is not in itself an argument against notability. I have added two further sources tending to establish the notability both of the subject’s business significance and his importance as a patron.

Emily Trosclair/Lisa J Pellegrene

Hi, hoping you can help with this as I'm not 100% sure how best to proceed. You rejected this draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Lisa_Pellegrene but the creator went ahead & posted it here Lisa J Pellegrene. Comments made on the page make it clear it's an autobio. She posted another article, Emily Trosclair, with similar issues, and Lisa is Emily's publicist so there's a clear COI issue. I've tried to post some notes to help out, but given the multiple overlapping issues I'd appreciate some additional guidance. Thanks! JamesG5 (talk) 07:54, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to bother you with this again, but Ms. Pellegrene is back at it. As noted by others on her talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:TheBodyExpert, she's now posting articles promoting a self-published exercise book. Noted here http://www.pr.com/press-release/662810, she's the publicist for the book's author, just as she is for Emily Trosclair. Not sure exactly how to proceed, but it's pretty clear the account's just here to promote herself & her clients. If you could help out with where this needs to go I'd appreciate it.

You have repeated what you said before, but not responded at all to my comment. If you wish to respond to my comment, I would welcome it.

I have the impression, perhaps incorrectly, that you believe that a large number of sources are required for a notable article. If so, please say what you consider the minimum number of sources to be.

If not, and you think, as I do, that multiple means what it says (more than one) and that what matters is that the sources should be significant and add up to notability, please explain why you don't think the sources are significant. What matters is the quality of the sources: you are entitled to an opinion about those but you have not given one, and unless you do you are not explaining why you don't think the article meets WP:N.

NAC AfD closure

Hi SwisterTwister: When closing AfD discussions with a merge result, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Always and for Real, rather than simply redirecting the article to the merge target as you did (diff) and not merging the content, please use the following appropriate templates:

This is the proper procedure (see Administrator instructions), and serves to ensure that a merge of the content will actually occur.

Hello SwisterTwister, Thanks for your welcome - I have a question for you regarding a page I set up "Gebhard Gritsch". As you can probably see another user FitIndia has edited this and redirected the page Gebhard Gritsch to a new page Gebhard Phil-Gritsch which is incorrect I tried to undo the edit and received an error message "The edit appears to have already been undone. You may have attempted to undo a page move, protection action or import action; these cannot be undone this way. Any autoconfirmed user can move the page back to its previous location, and any administrator can modify or remove protection."

Hi SwisterTwister,
Thanks for reviewing my article named "Autohead". I had an IRC discussion with one of the helper and he suggested to review the Jamurra & FilmBazaar references from the article. I have made the changes but didn't want to resubmit it before I discuss the matter with you.

My article already has references to Hollywoord Reporter and Asian Age. Both these publications are big enough to publish news about any film. I am sure not anybody can get a news published in these publications so easily.

Are these references not sufficient enough to pass the article?

In addition, third-party references to the podcast include The Daily Show (a very popular television show that airs internationally), The Huffington Post (a very popular new website), MTV.com (the website for a one of the largest television networks in the US), and The Washington Post (an American newspaper with national circulation).

Patrolled articles

Hi,
I have to ask what's up with some the pages you are marking as patrolled without taking any further action. Kali Devi Mandir is a blatant copyvio, and was tagged as such by CorenSearchBot. عصفور الشرق is entirely in Arabic. Ideology in Political Discourse: Critical Discourse Analysis of Imran Khan Speeches by Liaqat Ali is not an article but someone's thesis - and is clearly marked as such! These should not just be marked as patrolled and accepted into Wikipedia as is. What gives? Kolbasz (talk) 07:46, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

About Wiliam Rubenstein Article

I appreciate your comments on my draft article, but I'm a little confused as to what sources I might need to add to make this page meet the notability guidelines. Rubenstein is a professor, and he seems to meet the professor notability guidelines-- his casebooks have had a significant impact on many institutions of higher learning, he holds a named chair at Harvard, and he has made a substantial impact outside academia in his academic capacity. The guidelines say that an academic must meet only one of the criteria to be notable, and Rubenstein meets three. I take your point that I don't have something like a biography of Rubenstein to list as a source, but academics are frequently noteworthy without being the subject of in-depth personal coverage. Can you explain your rejection further and give me some more guidance? Heliopolisfirebirdii (talk) 18:20, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

However, the article is both duplicate in that it's about a subject we already have an article on—Abdalá Bucaram, Jr.—and was absolutely riddled with reference errors, non-existent categories and similar, all of which also make it blatant that it's mostly an uncredited copy-and-paste-then-translate job from the Spanish wikipedia article found here.

Hi SwisterTwister,

Thanks for the help! I'm trying to work on coverage of female artists, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_artists. I saw her work from the frontpage LATimes article, and thought it might be nice to write a wikipedia page. I saw an article on her in ArtForum, and found out about the exhibitions detailed in the article (there's more older stuff, but I got tired!). I guess that's not enough yet to meet the notability requirement. You mentioned that a major museum exhibition would put her work over the line, would additional major publication coverage do the same?

Finally, make sure to click the "Save page" button below or your request will be lost!-->}} RE: Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program I am unconvinced by your determination that our residency is not "notable". I listed 38 references to our program in my recent submission and they all appear to reliable. The Santa Fe New Mexican, The Albuquerque Journal, Art in America are all long established publications of very credible reputations. There is a book published regarding our history listed in the Library of Congress. Any Artist-in-Residence Program that has been offering all-expense paid, one-year residencies for fifty years is, by definition "notable". How many times does a subject need to be referenced in Wikipedia before there needs to be a page on that subject? Because we are referenced in Wikipedia many times. Does it have something to do with our program only serving visual artists? I noticed that other residencies who support writers get far more attention from your editors. Could it be that editors lean towards words rather than images? Also, what do we make of entries like: Surel’s Place, Ucross, or Village of the Arts? Anyone in the visual arts would hardly consider these as more notable than the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program. Ask any authority within the Visual Arts if you need convincing. Another odd example is Djerassi. A fine residency yes, but this is the only "reference" for their entry: "Kendzulak, Susan. "Fine Art: The Djerassi Artists Residency". About.com". Come on, About.com? One web reference and that's it? Yet we list many references and you insist that we are not "notable" enough. Is it that you don't believe that our area of the southwest and its publications are credible? Perhaps you need to pass me on to someone with a background in the "visual arts". Also, I noticed there is something called WikiProjects United States and that New Mexico is one of those states. Are we more notable in that context? I notice that you have a nice entry for the Roswell Museum and Art Center which is our original parent institution. Their list of references actually uses our website as a reference for their notability! (see #3)If we are not notable, how can they use us as a reference for their notability? "^ "Roswell Museum and Art Center". Currents New Media. Retrieved February 20, 2015. 2.Jump up ^ "Roswell Astronomy Club". Roswellastronomyclub.com.

And, I can't help pointing out, that their references are, by your standards, remarkably thin. I mean, the Roswellastronomyclub.com ? Really? Also the article references the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program by name: "In 1967, the Roswell Artist-in-Residence program was established through the support of local artist and philanthropist Donald B. Anderson. The first Artist-in-Residence was American painter and Taos resident, Howard Cook" But there is no link to us because you say we are not notable.

Thanks for reviewing my draft for the Cincinnati Art Club. I have added a number of additional third party references - for a club there's quite a few now. This club is actually the second oldest art organisation west of the Alleghenys. That makes it quite notable. Some of America's finest painters have been associated with the club so I add a header on notable members. I didn't include that as it just opens up debate. Also there are many references to the club elsewhere on Wikipedia which are just waiting for Wikilinks to the page. So I reckon she's good to go but as I'm still a novice at this I'll leave it to your wisdom to decide. Thanks.

10:56:38, 2 April 2016 review of submission by Paul2322


I'm not asking for a re-review at this stage. I just want a little guidance on what changes are needed. I can certainly demonstrate notability. Anorexia has the highest mortality of any psych illness, and a significant number of these deaths are preventable. I think if more information was available to front line clinicians deaths would be prevented. Wikipedia is the top reference source for junior doctors in hospital and could be a really helpful resource.

If I can satisfactorily demonstrate notability, are there any other aspects of the article that need attention? I will attend to the references as requested.

Translation page, not a new article

Hi,

I'm quite new as a wikipedia contributor, so I'm sure there are things which I don't fully understand yet, please forgive my ignorance. I have recently translated an article from Japanese https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUADRANGLE and I had some fixes requested by Wikipedia editor Liance. I see you have declined the article based on notoriety, but I just have to ask: if it's been published on ja.wikipedia.org, isn't it approved world-wide? I see on the Japanese article there's a warning box that mentions the notoriety issue, but it is public nonetheless.

I appreciate all your work, and the immense benefit you bring us all. Honestly.
