Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.

Hi Utopes,
thank you for your comments on my first article. I wanted to ask for your help concerning the notability of the subject: most of the articles were never digitized but are from sources that have their own Wikipedia sites (it’s a well known guitar player that is referred to as legend in many guitar or music magazines such as Relix Magazine, Guitar Player, Guitar Techniques, Guitar World, Downbeat, Premier Guitar, Guitarist, Vintage Guitar, etc., and international magazines (Japan, Thailand, etc.)). I have over 80 official magazines with articles, interviews, lessons, and such (and not only mentions) spanning almost 20 years. Could you tell me how can I include these since they’re not online, please?
Also, the subject has recorded or played live with many A-list celebrities and already has a Wiki-page in German.
Thank you immensely for your guidance. All the best. Ivhutt (talk) 20:32, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
