Hello. Your recent edit to McMechen, West Virginia appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

So, if I am fully understanding the non-notable entity guideline, then I should have first created an article covering known facts pertaining to the individual referenced in my edit? I also see, that the entirety of my edit was reverted in good-faith. While I go agree there was at most two borderline subjective sentences, the rest was known fact. The facts of which song he penned and whom ultimately sang them and thus launched their career in an upward and positive path was directly the result of my the individual whom penned the song itself and was the headline of my edit. I am not frustrated with your reverting of the edit, but at the same time, why could you have not just removed the "subjective" material and left the remaining facts intact? Thanks!

In order to have a biographical article on Wikipedia, a musician should meet the criteria listed at WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:MUSICBIO. The only reliable source I was able to find for Craig J. Martin was this one, so he seems pretty "non-notable" by Wikipedia standards. Did any of his records make the charts, or win any notable awards? That would help. You are welcome to create a draft article for this person and see how it goes. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:38, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your question. Yes, he wrote the song "Don't Take the Girl," which was sang by Tim McGraw and was also Tim McGraw's first number one hit. The song was released March 28,1994. The song title itself already has its own wiki mention where Craig is listed. The difference being the middle initial (J) was left out. Splenda87 (talk) 14:01, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
