Default Soundtracks on Wikipedia

I've been trying to get more credits, soundtrack listings, and cover art for notable games on Wikipedia.

Most edits were rejected as "inappropriate content" -- the Video Game portal does not consider soundtracks notable enough to include. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe...priate_content

Any editors willing to help get more composers/credits added?

Point 15 of your "inappropriate content" link:
Quote:
Non-notable soundtracks: Unless the soundtrack or music is the subject of independent commentary (apart from the game): put it in Development rather than its own section, do not include tracklists,[b] and do not add non-free soundtrack cover art or audio clips.[c] Never upload non-free soundtrack art similar in content to the main infobox's non-free art. If the soundtrack has been released on a widely-distributed physical medium, it can be acceptable to include an infobox for the soundtrack alongside discussion in the "Development" section (for example, see Journey (2012 video game)); non-free cover art must meet the WP:Non-free content guidelines to be included in this infobox.
To be honest that's too much hassle for me to want to partake.

You shouldn't have any problem adding composers as long as they are notable and your article has sources. I've created a few pages for anime composers with no issues.

Images are more tricky so I generally don't bother including any.
