Draft:James is Going to Die Soon

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:NMUSIC, WP:NALBUM) but presently it is not clear that it does.
    As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.
    Please note that many of the references are not from sources that are considered reliable for establishing notability and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr etc).
    Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
    Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
    It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NALBUM criteria #3, because XXXXX").
    Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 08:44, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Production

Jay Clayton began to work on James Is Going To Die in 2010. Posting often online about their new songs on the future record and released a full collection of demos in June 2010.[5][6] The demos contained unreleased tracks such as 'Leidopterophobia' and 'Blur' as well as a different track-list order. Clayton has credited that their friends for help and used easy chords in songs due to how new they'd been at playing the guitar. The original title of the album was 'Narcissist on the verge of a Nervous Breakdown' but ended up being used as the name of the band's second album.[7]

Clayton in an interview stated: "“James is going to die soon” was inspired by a painful break up, “I wrote these songs out of frustration and sadness and they ended up making me feel a lot better, I hope they have a similar effect on you”."[8]
