Talk:Peter Dyke

Discussion during review at Articles for Creation

@S2dd: Although I agree with the previous reviewer about the lack of coverage in reliable, independent sources, I still think the subject can "squeak through" our notability standards via the three albums recorded for Regent Records (UK). But I have two concerns that need to be addressed before I can accept the draft for publication.

Better documentation for the recordings. I've removed the links to the sales sites. Instead, documentation of recordings is better done by simply listing the record company, the year of release, and the catalog number (I've done one of the albums as an illustration). Also, if any of these albums were registered at the British Library, a file number from the library would also be useful.
Biographical detail. Much of the biographical detail appears unsourced, and this is absolutely not acceptable in an article about a living person. If you learned this information from a source other than the subject himself, you'll need to let the reader know where it came from. And if the subject himself happened to be your source of information, then it needs to be removed.

I'm going to mark the submission as "Under review", so that other reviewers will know that this is already being looked at. The template that shows this also asks people to not edit the draft. Please ignore that part of the message. If you feel that you will be unable to work on the draft over the next day or two, please let me know.

If have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:57, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I just saw that you hadn't re-submitted the draft, so I'm unable to mark it as "Under review". Feel free to continue editing as usual. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:02, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello NewYorkActuary, and thank you so much. Your feedback is really helpful and much appreciated. I'm in the process of stripping out material for which I can't find a source, and updating the recordings per your recommendation. I have one question on that matter: I have dug up British Library listings for Peter Dyke - http://cadensa.bl.uk/uhtbin/cgisirsi/?ps=f3pV0BASkI/WORKS-FILE/299020036/18/X702/XAUTHOR/Dyke,+Peter,+1965- . I've not been able to find Wikipedia guidelines for including British Library references, so I'd be grateful for your help on this. Should I just add (for example) "British Library 1CD0330502" after the label & disc number? Or could you point me to a Wiki page which includes BL references for CDs, please?

Thanks again!
