Listing an artist

Wikipedia has a lot of rules about who is important enough to have a page. Sadly some people (even me) are not important, and do not get an article. These are the rules for musicians Wikipedia:Notability (music). Basically a musician needs a major hit at a national level. Wikipedia is not a listing or advertising space for musicians.

Another important piece of advice is that the article has to be neutral. It can not read like a publicity or media release. The article can not be copied from other websites. It will need some reliable independent sources, maybe a major newspaper; but not a record company press release, or a fan site.

If you want to write an article, the best way is to do it in a sandbox, where other editors will not delete it. You can then get advice about how to improve it etc, and when it is ready it can be moved back into the main article space. If you need help to do any of this, just leave a message under this one, I will see it.--Peterdownunder (talk) 21:38, 17 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
