Need help understanding better sources

[edit]

Hi, This article was recently rejected because it did not have enough reputable, secondary sources. I'm confused because there are 77 sources I've cited (some are blogs yes, but the majority are reviews from sources like the Guardian, the New York Times, etc). Theatre sites are also reputable because they chronicle productions of playwrights. The language there might sometimes be promotional, but documenting notable productions seems important to writing articles for playwrights. I have more sources from news outlets that I could use. I guess I should do that. Any advice would be helpful. This is my first article and I'm hoping to be able to write more about contemporary English speaking playwrights.

Hi Cabrils, Thanks for the recent notes about my article on playwright Gabriel Jason Dean. This is my first article and I am working to better understand what constitutes enough good sources versus blogs, etc. I'm hoping to write more articles about contemporary playwrights writing in English. I have seen blogs be quoted directly in other writers' pages, which is why I did it here. I have also included a lot of reputable sources including the Guardian, New York Times, Playbill, Austin Chronicle, etc in the current article. I have more reviews and interviews that I could source, so maybe I should just do that? They are from places like Atlanta Journal COnstitution, Howlround, etc. If you have any specific advice on which sources make the subject seem not notable enough, please let me know. Also, if you have any specific feedback about where the article feels more like an essay or promotional, that would be extremely helpful. I'm a journalism student and tried to stay as objective as possible.

Thanks for any further guidance you can offer! THRGuru1115 (talk) 19:43, 4 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
