What are the Guidelines for adding/editing an Artist Page?
At Viberate we try to map the whole live music industry under one roof. Here you can find over a million Pages of Artists, Festivals, Venues, and Events. Each Page is unique and what is more, entity Pages (Artists, Festivals, etc.) are interconnected with each other.
Before you add a new Artist Page to the database you need to make sure that it meets the requirements to be added:
- The artist is not in our database yet (here is how you can improve your search results).
- The artist is performing and making music.
- You can find basic information about the artist (see CONTENT REQUIREMENTS).
- You can find at least two social media and music streaming links to the artist channels. Please check here for detailed LINK REQUIREMENTS.
When editing an Artist Page, you can add missing information and links, and you can also correct the wrong ones. However,
- If the existing links on an Artist Page are correct (belong to the Artist, display content), do not change their URL in any way (ex.: from http to https, adding or removing slashes). Such changes will be rejected.
- Do not remove the existing links, if they are correct (belong to the Artist, display content), even if the content is outdated (is more than 3 years old). What you can do is replace them with new links, if they exist (ex.: the Artist created a new account on Twitter - in this case you can replace the existing link with the new one).
- Try to find as much missing information as you can
After you add or edit an Artist Page, our curators will review your entry and either approve or deny it. Your entry will get approved if at least half of the submitted information is correct. To avoid your entry from being denied, please follow both content and link requirements. If you're new to our contribution system, we highly recommend you take a few minutes and read thru all the requirements, and watch our tutorial videos here and here.
