Draft:The Jack Knives
| Submission declined on 11 May 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). 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 music-related topics). 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. This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

| Submission declined on 7 May 2024 by Notcharizard (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. 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 music-related topics).

Comment: Non-neutral content removed. David notMD (talk) 15:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: As stated on the previous decline, an article needs sources that are predominantly independent (not from The Jack Knives or their employers, so not their own website, social media, or interviews with them) and reliable (which self-published sources are often not). Sources also need to use inline citation so that readers know which information is from which sources.The tone is promotional ("The Jack Knives skillfully craft sincere, honest, and passionate songs"), which given that it is written by a member of the band, suggests they are only interested in using Wikipedia for promotion rather than helping building an encyclopedia. Articles should be written in a neutral point of view and disinterested tone. -- NotCharizard 🗨 07:48, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
