On 23 June 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alayna Westcom, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the competition talent of Miss Vermont 2015, Alayna Westcom, is a scientific demonstration with yeast and hydrogen peroxide? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alayna Westcom. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

You tagged Charivari (Gruber) as "primary source", which is correct, but what better source would you expect anywhere secondary than a composer speaking about his work? - I remember a similar case for a composition by Killmayer, which was accepted for DYK after all (2011, see talk), because all secondary sources could only copy what the composer had said, or be wrong, no?--Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:59, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

In the more than 30 years since it was first performed, hasn't it been reviewed in the press at least once? A brief "critical reaction" section sourced to a couple of reliable third-party publications would help. As would a scholarly look at the piece. With only the composer's words to go by, it's impossible to prove notability for the purposes of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Dravecky (talk) 13:03, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

I am only the nominator, so haven't done any research, nor will I, for lack of time. As expressed in the DYK nom, I think that publication by a notable publisher and recordings by notable orchestras establish notability. It's not a symphony scholars would write about. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:30, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

ps found mentioning but really have no time for this --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:36, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Notability is not inherited so, no, simply being published by a notable publisher is not sufficient. According to WP:NMUSIC, "Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopedia article. The published works must be someone else writing about the musician, ensemble, composer, or lyricist, or their works. (See Wikipedia:Self published sources for details about the reliability of self-published sources, and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for treatment of promotional, vanity material.) The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself have actually considered the musician, ensemble, composer, or lyricist notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it." - Dravecky (talk) 20:21, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

I still have no time but question two items of the above:

• Boosey & Hawks is not a self-published source.
• I said published AND performed and recorded by notable people (here in 2007), and haven't even mentioned the class of the composer. - Wait a week, and I go research, not now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Boosey & Hawkes is the music publisher and the cited page is a sales page. That's not the independent coverage required for notability. Not every composition by every composer is automatically notable. - Dravecky (talk) 01:34, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi ... tx for your review of the Marpet DYK; I've made some revisions based on your comments, and perhaps you might have a re-look when you have a chance. Tx. --Epeefleche (talk) 20:12, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello -- perhaps you have been busy? Might you take a second look now? Thanks. --Epeefleche (talk) 22:59, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Sure thing. It's always best to leave this sort of update on the nomination itself so that the maximum number of editors will see that progress has been made and swiftest action may result. - Dravecky (talk) 05:33, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Tx -- since you raised the issue, I wanted to make certain I satisfied you. And I wanted to make sure you saw my message by leaving it on your talkpage -- some editors look at their tp, but do not watchlist their entries. I'll take another look tomorrow. Tx. Epeefleche (talk) 06:14, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

No worries. I always watch the entries on which I am a principal reviewer. - Dravecky (talk) 06:53, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

On 29 June 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Meg McGuffin, which you recently created or substantially expanded.
