the videos need more coverage, and to let the people knows about flag animation, also flag animation let the people know the flag KNPC1256 (talk) 04:01, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

KNPC1256 Your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. You offer no independent reliable sources that discuss the concept of flag animation in depth to support the content of an article. An article must summarize what independent reliable sources state about a topic, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability. 331dot (talk) 09:01, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just publish this new article that has been rejected. (they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject) the reviewer said.

While I provided sources from the 2 mains Haitian newspaper (Le Nouvelliste, Le National) and the top Haitian specialize woman media. (Dofen News). How can you help me improve my referencing?

Kindly

Ddeckwerth (talk) 10:33, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, I have just Tried to Publish a New Page on my Wiki Account. But after I Published, there comes a Notification form the Editors about the Declined Article I Published. The Reason Mentioned that it's look like a CV, can you Please help me to Re-Edit the Document so that it will get Accepted. Here is the Link to the Page: Draft:Dasha Deckwerth

Ddeckwerth Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. That is usually very difficult for people to do about themselves, because people naturally write favorably about themselves.

17:57:04, 6 September 2021 review of submission by MirkoS18

I think that the reviewer in part failed to recognize different levels of notability of the topic in different contexts. He also mentioned that we may have as many as hundreds of cases without actually stating why he thinks so and why it would make the list irrelevant. The topic is notable to the extant that the split up is often politically or by identity motivated. This clearly creates interest for the topic in the case of France punishing universities after the protests of 1968 by splitting them up, Belgium where it was based on linguistic identity (if I can understand any French it is in part addressed for example Here ), in Balkans during the war, in Turkey where it causes demonstrations [the plan to split up universities led to actual demonstrations, as mentioned in the cited source]... Providing opportunity to the rest of our global community to include different language sources would almost certainly lead to further development. Cutting it from happening because it does not seem to be value in "Little Britain" context (if I may permit myself to say) does not seem to do it full justice. Now I fully appreciate that Doric is usually doing an amazing and important voluntary job and that there is an increased drafts burden in recent days, but I would like to receive a second opinion-firstly on the draft as it is, and if for some reason I am completely delusional than how it should be improved? Maybe to narrow it down to include politically/identity motivated split ups?-yet one may probably argue that even administrative/funding based split up is ideologically motivated. But I am taking too much of your time now... MirkoS18 (talk) 17:57, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MirkoS18: Have split-up universities been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources? That's the usual way of demonstrating that a list is notable. The list doesn't fulfill any of the main purposes of lists. By grouping universities according to a non-defining characteristic it strays into being unencyclopedic, into being what Wikipedia is not.
Unless you're editing under unusual sanctions, Afc is an optional process for you. If you disagree with the advice you get here, you're welcome to risk deletion and move the list to article apace yourself. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:14, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I wanted to ask for help refining this article draft for submission. It has been rejected twice, but in July the commenter said it was much improved. I would love an experienced editor to take a look and give more specific feedback or recommendations as to what should be cut/added to make this a better Wikipedia article.

05:35:14, 7 September 2021 review of draft by TAQUEDA, Atsuo


Hello, everyone. Please help me.

This time, the artist I am editing Wikipedia is a contemporary artist who has a career of more than 50 years and is particularly prominent in Europe and East Asia, but there are only French and Japanese versions of Wikipedia.

I think the English version covers all of Europe and America, so adding his article to the English version is also of great value to Wikipedia.

Generally, there are few publications about the artist's achievements because his work and exhibition catalogs are the main source of his achievements.

I searched for publications as hard as I could, but found only a few.

The most credible sources of my article are his catalog raisonné (Japanese / English / German / French notation) published in Japan, Benezit Dictionary of Artists (French), catalogs of his exhibitions, and the webpages.

Can't you meet the submission conditions with these?

Thank you, from Japan.

TAQUEDA, Atsuo (talk) 05:35, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TAQUEDA, Atsuo Different versions of Wikipedia have their own editors and policies, and as such what is acceptable on one version is not necessarily acceptable on another. An article here on the English Wikipedia(which is worldwide, not just Europe and North America) must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about (in this case) an artist, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable artist. The artist's own exhibitions and work are not independent sources and would not establish notability. If that is all the sources that are available, the person would not merit an English Wikipedia article at this time. 331dot (talk) 09:52, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment. But, excuse me! It's not a help.

You may not be familiar with the international art scene, but Keiji Uematsu is explicitly a "notable artist" and deserves an English Wikipedia article. So I need a help for an article to be submitted. Of course I have no intention of making an exhibition or work an independent source of information. Also, they are not all available sources. I wrote there are only a few (or not so many) independent and reliable sources of information because an artist's achievement depends on the work itself and its catalog, generally. Isn't a catalog raisonné (a general publication about artists and works, not an exhibition catalog, multilingual version), an artist directory (Benezit Dictionary of Artists, Oxford University Press.), and web pages an information enough?
Thank you, again. --TAQUEDA, Atsuo (talk) 02:42, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good day! I represent A-navigation Promotion Centre MARINET RUT.

@Виктория Шмыговская The English language Wikipedia has no interest in what you wish to say about yourselves. It is not a vehicle for yoiu to promote your products, services, or selves. Please also read WP:PAID. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 22:16, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@FiddleTimtrent it seems like I am misunderstood. We are not going to promote any products or services. As you may see, this is an article about the project, it doesn't consist any advertisement. But it is very important project not only for our organization. All the projects we are going to write about have a huge value in international meaning as technologies wich would save people life and reduce ocean polution. Actually the projects are approved by International Maritime Organization (IMO)Autonomous shipping. Is it possible to recover the draft? Thank you!Виктория Шмыговская (talk) 09:18, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Виктория Шмыговская Others may disagree, but I still see the same issue. The project is But it is very important project [not only] for our organization, which implies that you and/or your organisation derive some benefit from it, broadly construed. This equates to our broad interpretation of paid editing in my view.
I am not concerned with any good or harm the project might achieve, only with Wikipedia's policies. You could ask a question about this at WP:COIN and obtain a consensus based answer FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 12:12, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@FiddleTimtrent Any way, are there any opportunity to recover the draft, in order it to be corrected? It was deleted as copyrighted (not as advertiseing), but we have necessary permission, as I've said in the first message. Виктория Шмыговская (talk) 09:07, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:59:58, 7 September 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Jfklaess


Hi Editors, I'm asking for clarification as to why a submission (Awesome Two) isn't meeting the requirement for notability, and help getting it up to standard. I asked a question over a year ago and never got a response.

I've included citations from numerous contemporary sources (Billboard, Village Voice, Vibe, and Black Radio Exclusive) that are more than passing mentions, as well as evidence of historical import from coverage in histories, documentaries, and mentions references in song lyrics and on album covers (should satisfy this criterion: 1.) Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable music sub-culture). Further, they're listed as an "associated act" on this Nice n Smooth Wiki Page.

As producers, the duo has sufficient production credits in their name to satisfy these criteria: 2.)Has composed a number of notable melodies, tunes or standards used in a notable music genre; The recording was in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network. Please advise on the status of these sources, and ways I can adjust the article to meet Wikipedia's standards.

I wrote my Ph.D dissertation on the history of rap radio, and interviewed the Awesome II and their peers numerous times. I wrote a long chapter about their career and influence. I was told that my Ph.D dissertation does not count as a source (though this is Wikipedia's stance on the matter: "Completed dissertations or theses written as part of the requirements for a PhD, and which are publicly available, are considered publications by scholars and are routinely cited in footnotes. They have been vetted by the scholarly community; most are available via interlibrary loan or from Proquest"), and so removed the citation.

Additionally, I have a book coming out of Duke University Press (Fall 2022, it's passed 3 rounds of peer review and is in production). There's a 60 page chapter on the Awesome II. Surely this meets Wikipedia's criteria for reputable sources and "more than a passing mention."

The Awesome II have made incalculable contribution to hip hop music. Please help me meet this communities guidelines.


Jfklaess (talk) 18:59, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jfklaess It seems to me that you are working hard and with passion and need a smidgen of guidance. Please look at Wikipedia:Notability (music) and make sure your duo pass the criteria there. Look also at your references. The musicians are living people. For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest with some care.I'm not sure whether you have a COI or not, and we rely on trust for you to make a correct declaration. Your book may, or may not be a useful reference, buty you have to be clear on its role. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 20:57, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please tell me EXACTLY what is wrong about this entry, and why is has been removed? What grounds have for making the claim "This draft is a copy, without attribution, of Draft:Karl Fiorini." This draft, revised, is simply based on the same basic entry I have always submitted. My patience is becoming tested.

@Masterwork: Please do not start a new section with each of your questions and do not use the excessive bolding. If this continues your future requests may just be reverted on sight and your editing privileges revoked as it becomes disruptive. The original reviewer left you a reason for the decline, they fail to meet any of the following criteria WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. The article it self reads like an advertisement, and it copy pasted from Draft:Karl Fiorini. I would recommend reading through the links here and in the other decline messages, then working on the original at Draft:Karl Fiorini, but only after you get more familiar with how Wikipedia works and our core policies.

Suhailsmm (talk) 06:42, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why is my page FEROZ SAMA getting denied, what am i lacking

@Suhailsmm: there are several reasons.
  • The draft does not show that Sama is according to Wikipedia's definition of notability. Follow that link to see what is needed to show notability.
  • The draft is not supported by reliable sources. Websites hosted at Wordpress are not reliable sources, the Sanchar Pati source is just one brief paragraph (and I'm not sure about the status of sancharpati.com in terms of reliability), and the exact same thing applies to Nepal Headlines – a very short text, and the source looks rather weak.
  • Many of the claims in the draft have no source at all. Sama's date of birth, nationality, personal history, and trade in gemstones are some of the things that are not mentioned in the sources. How did you find this information? I have removed the names of his children from the draft, per this policy; there was no source and no claim that they are themselves notable.
  • The draft is written like an advertisement for Sama. --bonadea contributions talk 07:48, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Masterwork, Robert McClenon was quite clear for why the draft was rejected. There's no appropriate way to verify you're the same person without doing an SPI. It is also worth noting that User:Masterwork was originally created in 2008. You're welcome to improve and submit the original draft (Draft:Karl Fiorini), but Draft:Masterwork has been rejected and will thus not be considered further. Curbon7 (talk) 17:04, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User:Curbon7 - If a person declares that they have used multiple accounts, we assume good faith and accept that declaration. SPI is only needed for bad-faith multiple accounts, if they are evasive (as is far too often the case). As we both said, they may work on the original draft, Draft:Karl Fiorini. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:45, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, this started because I tried to move Draft:Masterwork to Draft:Karl Fiorini, which is who it is about, but there is already a draft there. The submission of duplicate drafts is often done to game the system. In this case, it may have just been a mistake, and they should work on the original draft.

Hi! The reviewer looking at my draft for Rock Camp: The Movie says it still reads like an advertisement and only shows the positive sides of the film. How can I make it more neutral other than just adding negative things about it? Thanks!

86 the cast list from the article. Only the most important roles should be noted, and even then only in the infobox unless there's something notable about the cameos. We also prefer prose to a list. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 00:24, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, am a relatively new user so please forgive if I'm not following the correct path. My draft on Bleomycin-Electrosclerotherapy (BEST) was declined due to notability: "There is no indication BEST is notable outside of a very niche set of researchers. In fact, beyond a handful of barely cited journal articles, I could find no other sources for this treatment. As such it would not be eligible for an article at this time. Sclerotherapy is indeed notable and already has an article; perhaps electrosclerotherapy could be briefly discussed there". It is true that there's not many further sources on the topic, but it should be considered that this a recent treatment option for a rare disease (vascular malformations), therefore something with not much coverage by definition. Maybe the reviewer who declined the draft is right and I should just mention the voice within "sclerotherapy", however if you look at other treatment options for vascular malformations mentioned in the "sclerotherapy" voice, like polidocanol or sodium tetradecyl sulfate, the journals cited as sources have comparable or inferior impact factor than those cited as sources for bleomycin-electrosclerotherapy. So my question is: does bleomycin-electrosclerotherapy deserve also a separate page or should it only be mentioned in the "sclerotherapy" voice? Thanks a lot

I would add it to Sclerotherapy if you can't otherwise meet the notability requirements for a standalone article on it. Bear in mind that any claim that implicates human health (including medical treatments) is held to much tougher sourcing standards. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 00:21, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you very much. Then I'll do as suggested. Orgliandino (talk) 10:25, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I created a draft "Poxel" to publish an article but I don't understand why it is doesn't work.

The user is presently blocked, but the draft remains up. One thing I immediately notice is that the article makes claims that implicate WP:MEDRS - one of our toughest sourcing policies - but does not provide the strong sourcing required. This is not acceptable. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 00:19, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Moviebuff000: changing the article title from greek to english requires (like all other article title changes) a page move. I see Theroadislong did this for you. While populated legally recognized places are automatically presumed noteable under WP:NGEO, this draft would benefit from a few sources to support its content Victor Schmidt (talk) 18:07, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

17:07:24, 9 September 2021 review of draft by RockTheBlockchain


Hello and thank you in advance. I'm hoping to receive some help and direction on how to improve our sources, specifically if there are any sources or sections we should focus on improving? I was hoping the 2nd submission with 3x external sources would help but it seems that was not enough to get accepted. That said, we're also in support of removing specific sections if that's easier, allowing us to publish while continuing to work on our external sources in the coming weeks. If you have concerns over certain sections, let us know and we'll either focus efforts there or simply remove and resubmit.

Thank you again!!

I am confused. The sources I have cited for the VentureFriends submission are all from independent highly credible publications such as techcrunch and Sifted.eu and none of the articles are a result of a press release.Why is therefore the submission not accepted? GeorgeKotsolios (talk) 18:48, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Content is as important as the outlet, and neither routine business news or "news" commissioned or written by the subject are acceptable sources as far as notability is concerned. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 00:13, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

20:31:58, 9 September 2021 review of submission by Invasive Spices

Hi everyone. I have a question about a page I could create myself. The problem here is that I can't cover the entire subject perfectly. I'd like to think that's fine - that's called a stub - and happens all the time. But I wanted to ask first:

The subject of the proposed biography is an entomologist, insecticide efficacy researcher,[1] and med school professor (really Emeritus, retired).[2] I am familiar with some of that and very familiar with a little of it. (Overall this is an author/co-author who shows up often in WP articles, which I think is another good measure of whether we should have a page about him.)

However the medical part I am very unfamiliar with. I am concerned I would get the basic terminology in that area wrong (what he's done/what he knows).

Question is: Is this page just going to get deleted if I do as much as I can? If people just complain/change things that's normal on WP obviously. But I don't want to just have it deleted. Invasive Spices (talk) 20:31, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You would need to demonstrate the subject is notable in some fashion and (if the subject is alive or has recently died) source literally any biographical claim that could be challenged for any reason. The former is usually easy (WP:NACADEMIC sounds like it'd apply here) but the latter tends to be harder to do for NACADEMIC articles since there's very little about their actions in newspapers of record or scholarly books; the focus is almost entirely on their research. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 00:10, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Drewolarenshaw Renaming a page is done by moving it to a new name. You may do that yourself, or you can leave it to the reviewer, who will give the page an appropriate name if and when it is accepted for publication. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:44, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my article on the "Daimler and Benz Foundation" has now been rejected twice because apparently not enough reliable sources and supporting documents were provided. It is difficult for me to understand in which sections of my article sources and evidence are missing. I can only imagine that it is the "Research" section. More specific information would be helpful so that I can adjust the article accordingly. I would be grateful for a hint from an experienced Wikipedia editor!

MiBlanche (talk) 08:35, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi FpsJimbo. Are you referring to Queally's three fights for Bellator? WP:NMMA calls for "at least three professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization". The three fights were in 2019–2021, a period during which Bellator is considered to have been a second-tier organization for men, according to WP:MMATIER. So Queally is no more notable today than when the draft was rejected two years ago. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:37, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I submitted an article for creation about three weeks ago (I think) and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to have it reviewed any faster. It says to go to a relevant WikiProject talk page, but I couldn't see any similar comments/requests so I wasn't sure if I was in the wrong place. Any advise is appreciated, just hoping for a speedy review. It's not a very long article, but I worked on it for a while so I'm itching to see it published. Thanks!

Noahpdoty (talk) 15:44, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Noahpdoty Since you've added tags on the article talk page, there isn't much else you can do. Drafts are reviewed by volunteers doing what they can when they can, in no particular order. It could be reviewed in five minutes, or five days from now. Please be patient. If you are associated with this organization, please review WP:COI and WP:PAID for information on required formal disclosures.
I will say I'm not convinced it will be accepted. It just tells about the organization and what it does, which is not what Wikipedia is for, even if it does good work; Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. The organization website, interviews, announcements of routine activities, brief mentions, and other primary sources do not establish notability.

Hi Parvenu58. When a draft is in the submitted pool, it can be reviewed by any of hundreds of reviewers. It may be reviewed by the same editor who handled the first submission (whether they've received a second opinion or not), or it may be reviewed by someone else. The advantage of the latter is that the draft gets a fresh look by someone who may have different strengths. Please be patient, there are about 1400 other submissions waiting. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:22, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please re-review this draft. Once it is published, people will see it as an article and more people will edit it, making it better. There are many other articles on Wikipedia like this or much worse that have been approved. Thank you.

Wikisteveb4 The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. That other, worse articles exist does not mean that they have been approved by anyone, as using the AFC process is not required(but risky for those inexperienced). As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to get by us. That they exist does not mean that yours can too. We can only address what we know about. If you want to help us work on the six million plus articles we have, you are welcome to identify these other inappropriate articles you have seen for possible action.
