Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Dan arndt were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NCREATIVE / WP:ANYBIO, requires significant coverage (not mentions in lists) in multiple independent secondary sources. MusicBrainz, Spotify and interviews with the individual are primary sources.

Tha Genius[edit]

In respect to your query - as per WP:COMPOSER there needs to be coverage in multiple reliable sources that he has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition. The key issue here is that "My Body" by Mulatto is not a notable composition. A notable song would need to satisfy the criteria of WP:NSONG, "My Body" doesn't, therefore that criteria of WP:COMPOSER doesn't count. If you are able to provide reliable collaborating sources that his album, Truth Love & Lies, Volume 2. charted on the US R & B charts then that would potentially satisfy the WP:MUSICBIO criteria. You also need to find better, more reliable sources, than Spotify, MusicBrainz, Discogs, YouTube etc. Dan arndt (talk) 08:10, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
