Is there anyone who can approve a wikipedia article i wrote for submission? I have wrttien 2 articles of experinental and punk bands but i keep getting rejected because of "lack of citations from reputable sources" , but i literally used news articles from multuple independent journalism websites that cover local music, ive seem worse get approved. What's more, these bands have hundreds of thousands of youtube views and one of them toured across America . Lesser bands have entries. But they being punk and experimental dont really like press and like to be quiet online. these bonehead moderators are gatekeeping because they assume im jusy some kid making articles for bands he fangirls over or something. Anyway, if there's any moderators that can help me i would appreciate it. I hate wikipedia culture but these bands have followings and have contributed significantly ti local music.
>>1458050>wrttien 2 articles of experinentalMaybe you should let others write the articles.
>>1458050Just read WP:N like everyone tells you to. OR factors like youtube views will be treated as utterly irrelevant, and even brining them up is likely to make them dismiss you. If you read enough of their policies, you'll eventually learn how to game the system. Also try looking your topics up on google scholar and google books, and shoe-horning in anything relevan you find: non-self published sources are usually acceptable. In any case you will need at least one acceptable source that is primarily about the topic, not just mentioning it in passing.
also, there's no such thing as a wikipedia moderator and talking like there is will make people with more power than you dislike you.
