External link

I added link to http://musicgames.wikidot.com and it was reverted. I think it's relevant, but can't tell for sure, because I'm inexperienced and biased. If anyone has a tip on that, please educate me. Izaak (talk) 06:25, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mathius Shadow-Sky references.

References to Mathius Shadow-Sky's contributions to game piece have been removed by myself twice and restored by user Izaak once.

I removed the section for two reasons:

(1) Initial citations regarding Mathius Shadow-Sky's game pieces link to Shadow-Sky's own website, not to third party references. This is against Wikipedia guidelines. User Izaak added two more references after undoing my previous revision - one was to a self-published work by Shadow-Sky, the other was to an article that returns no results in a Google search and lacks any other verifiable information - a Google search for the article name directs only to this Wikipedia article. These sources do not meet Wikipedia's guidelines for source quality.

(2) Mathius Shadow-Sky is not a notable composer by Wikipedia standards. I realise that the guidelines say that notability does not apply to the contents of articles, but Shadow-Sky's web presence is limited to mostly self-published web materials (his website, YouTube, soundcloud, etc) or online media platforms (last.fm, etc). Shadow-Sky may have produced game pieces, but they have not garnered any claims to notability by third party sources, such as academics, other musicians or journalists. I have no opinion either way on Shadow-Sky's ability in this field and nor is this the place to express one. It is simply a matter of notability for inclusion. Given the spare size of this article, including him would distort the level of notability of his work. For these two reasons I have re-removed the reference to Shadow-Sky.

Further: Izaak's comment at the time of undoing my first revision is: "it's true that the deleted fragment was not supported well before -- alas Shadow-Sky is more known outside of English literature -- I hope I added proper sources now (the best I know for that, although better may still exist)"

Shadow-Sky may be better known outside English literature, but I can't find any demonstration that he's notable in any language, nor does Izaak with one self-referential citation and one unverifiable citation.

Note: A search of Wikipedia for Mathius Shadow-Sky or Myster Shadow-Sky returns this person as the only composer listed on Microtone_(music) with no Wikipedia page of his own, referencing only his own website, and Balanced-arm_lamp which references only an external file of a format I don't recognise. It may be that Mathius Shadow-Sky uses or has used Wikipedia as a publicity vehicle, which is against Wikipedia guidelines. Rattyexaltations (talk) 17:40, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
