timothytapdancing, I admit to not catching what was newsworthy in this story. News should always be about posting current stuff - new things you've discovered.
Please review What Makes News News. It can really help if you follow the old "W5" news formula -- making sure you have answered the questions: Who? What? Where? When? And Why? (You might want to check out our J-Tips for more help.)

Sorry for the slow response. If you mean incomplete in terms of not enough info, and Is it news? --I would emphasize, that this is an arts and culture article. Granted it's not politics like about Alberto Gonzales, or the sensationalism of Anna Nicole Smith, but it's an arts story nonetheless.
The news is that there is artwork available and when and where it can be found. Like a band with a new CD out, or the schedule of a TV program. On the one hand, the promotion is beneficial to the artist, but it is nonetheless, in Arts and Culture, a news article. My article may be a bit promotional, but I'm not trying to disguise the fact that it's from me (my log in is timothytapdancing), and if you examine any of the pages that I link to, there are no banner adds, no requests for donations, no statements that you can check out this video if you pay. So there's no scheme behind it.
Who? --Timothy. What? --Arts, culture. Specifically, a new web, tap dance video. Where? --Link included. When? --Available now. Why? --Specifically germane in relation the upcoming National Tap Dance Day.
