The comment the reviewer left was:

Removed clear copyright violation, kept quote; need to find more sources from more diverse and nationwide outlets. Portland Mercury is a local paper and what it provides is routine entertainment coverage. That said, I'd count it once. The NPR cite is golden (if one doesn't literally copy it into this article). But we need at least two more sources meeting WP:IRS to call this subject notable, in this reviewer's opinion.

BusterD (talk) 13:07, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your contacting me on talk. I'm not saying this isn't a worthy effort, and I'm not saying the work you've done is insufficient. As a page reviewer I have some discretion, but also have a responsibility to ensure the page I reviewed meets standards "hallowed" by practice and consensus. In this overlong message I hope to give you some insight.

First, I can't review your page by comparing it to other less worthy efforts. I didn't see those other band pages (I can only be so many places at one time). If those pages are not strongly sourced, they might find themselves deleted. My task is to review THIS page with a mind towards improvement and prevent ITS deletion.
Second, I reviewed your page and found some text which was taken verbatim from the NPR source, though correctly cited. The quote from the same source is perfectly acceptable. I could have put the page up for speedy deletion because of the plagiarism. I felt this would be a disproportionate response. So I deleted the text and moved your cite. I wouldn't have touched your text if you had reworded it from the source text.
Third, there's no deadline here on Wikipedia. Just because the page isn't published now doesn't mean it won't be published.
Fourth and lastly, we SHOULD be discussing how to improve the page by additional sourcing. In the last few minutes, I found Inlander, OPB, Willamette Week, Noise and Color PDX, local PBS. This stuff is just out there and you should be using it upon which to improve the page. BusterD (talk) 16:17, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I hope I have better acquainted you with the way a reviewer works. Folks like myself are here to ensure this is an encyclopedia, not a random listing of local bands. I believe the subject about which you've written is likely to be included in Wikipedia; if not I wouldn't be chatting with you. Add a couple of the sources linked above and make the page something to be proud of. Now I want to know more about this band. Without sounding promotional, show the average reader why they should care. BusterD (talk) 16:17, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mordecai (Band) (January 23)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Zawl was:

If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Some of the first seven references discuss the album rather than the band and the others are just event listings and press releases. Significant coverage of reliable sources that are independent of the topic is needed to establish notability per the general notability guideline. Other than that, if the criteria for musical artists can be satisfied, then it may be sufficient for acceptance of this article.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Since the previous decline (asking for two more sources that meet IRS), several sources were added, but none of them meet IRS. Spin magazine does, of course, but a meager two-paragraph review of the latest album is not the "significant coverage" the GNG requires.
