Song articles[edit]

Hi Jefabs,
I noticed that you started two song articles today, but both your changes were undone and the previous redirects restored. You didn't get any feedback why this happened, so I thought I'd drop you a quick note.
Wikipedia has a limited scope, to keep the content here manageable, and for other reasons. That scope is in part defined in the notability guidelines, like WP:NOTABILITY. For songs, you can find some principles and WP:NSONGS. In short, the community thinks that songs, even singles, should not always have a standalone article, and in fact most information about singles should be placed in the respective album articles. Songs should typically at least have charted on a notable chart, like the main US Billboard charts, before a standalone article is warranted.
With Photographs (song), there's the additional problem that there's not even a reliable source confirming that that song is going to be released as a single, as far as I know, which violates one of the main policies on Wikipedia, WP:VERIFIABILITY.
Lot's of rules for a brand new user, I know, please don't let yourself be discouraged by that. Don't worry, you don't have to study them, it's quite fine if you go on to be bold with your edits and just keep a look at feedback you get, and what other editors do. If you have any questions, feel very free to ask me.

Well, you repeated the change, and it was undone again.
Seriously, that's not the way Wikipedia works. If you disagree with the actions of other editors or a notability guideline, you should initiate a discussion on a fitting talkpage. Amalthea 19:29, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In line with the above, the article Here We Go Again (Pixie Lott song) is not notable enough for its own article. See WP:MUSIC: a single song needs to have charted or at least had some sort of extensive civerage that falls under the general notability guidelines. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 19:33, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of My Love (Pixie Lott Song)[edit]

I have nominated My Love (Pixie Lott Song), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/My Love (Pixie Lott Song). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Amalthea 15:57, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Rihanna[edit]

Hi! You appear to be adding content to this template that isn't necessary or useful. If there is no verifiable information yet on a future endeavor, then there's no reliable information to add to the template. However, once an announcement is made and verifiable information is available, then it would be very helpful for you to add the correct title and a link to the article to the template. Right now, there's no article, so nothing to link to. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced information[edit]

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Born This Way. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - eo (talk) 19:48, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
