15:08:17, 10 February 2022 review of draft by Thatnsukkaboy


Hello, I really feel like my last few articles on here have been reviewed by bots, and declined at every turn. My draft meets up with wikipedia's guidelines to the best of my knowledge and i ensured i ran it through tone checking softwares before submitting to ensure its neutrality but as sual its decline for the same thing. Sometimes, we write about people who are very notable here, people who are verifiable and it gets turned down for not being notable or for not having telaible sources. The sources we often use are our own reliable sources and they are very reliable here. If anyone would care to help, i will appreciate a list of sources that are reliable when it comes to news about Nigerians and Nigeria. Outrightly declining without advicing on how to make articles better can frustrate an editor. Help Us Please!! Thatnsukkaboy (talk) 15:08, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On your user page you say that you are a "Digital Marketer" please be sure to disclose any conflict of interest or paid editing that you may be involved with, per the terms and conditions. Theroadislong (talk) 15:16, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Thatnsukkaboy: As long as you have uncited biographical claims and rely too much on her own words, many of which are not properly attributed as quotes must be, this is going to keep being declined. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 17:16, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is a list of sources at Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria/Nigerian sources. I can't vouch for its being entirely up-to-date but it looks like a good place to start. But remember that even a reliable source is not always useful to support a particular fact. Make sure that you have read the info at the main Reliable sources guideline page.
Disclosing any conflict of interest you have takes priority over that, mind. I also wonder who "we" are when you say "we write about people [...] the sources we often use". --bonadea contributions talk 08:21, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

15:21:16, 10 February 2022 review of submission by Reddysim78


Hi, I would like to understand how is my draft an unambiguous promotional article? so that I can improve on it.

Please kindly advise.

Reddysim78 (talk) 15:21, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reddysim78, probably because it is sourced to the subject and reads like a brochure for the subject. Wikipedia doesn't care what an organization has to say about itself, we do care what independent secondary reliable sources say.Slywriter (talk) 15:25, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your draft was rejected and has previously been deleted 5 times, it won't be reviewed again so it is pointless to improve it. Theroadislong (talk) 15:39, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 20:05:44, 10 February 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Keithduross


Hello,

I've been tasked to pick up where many before me have not been able to get approval on the owner of my company's profile (Michael Amini), to be considered for Wikipedia. The latest message back (after being denied), was for - This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. The thing is that the sources include WSJ and LA Times and just about every single Furniture-focused trade publication. I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to teh best practices on getting approval when receiving this sort of message. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Keith

Keithduross (talk) 20:05, 10 February 2022 (UTC) — Draft:Michael Amini (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

 Not done For eight months, you have been trying to push this advertisement for your obscure boss of an obscure company. In that time, you have still refused to post any of the mandatory disclosures of your blatant and obvious conflict of interest, which makes you an undisclosed paid editor. --20:11, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
@Keithduross: We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Any biographical claim that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to an in-depth, third-party source with strong editorial oversight that corroborates the claim or (if no such sources can be found) removed wholesale. This is a hard requirement when writing content about living or recently-departed people and is NOT NEGOTIABLE. In addition, disclosure is MANDATORY. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 20:12, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

08:26:06, 11 February 2022 review of submission by Madiad

I wonder why my recent article was rejected. How can I submit a new article? What should we pay attention to? Madiad (talk) 08:26, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The draft you created consisted of copied and pasted text from a couple of different websites advertising an upcoming "game" (actually a cryptocurrency scheme, though that was not mentioned in the draft.) Do you not see how that's rather incompatible with an encyclopedia built to share actual knowledge and facts? --bonadea contributions talk 08:37, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

10:01:19, 11 February 2022 review of draft by Avindigni


Dear Editors,

among other comments I received for the draft I submitted on Jordi Bascompte, one concerns the image copyright, which - for my ignorance - I have declared as "own work". This photo was commissioned by the University of Zurich (to a professional photograph called Frank Bruederli) for promotion of new hired professors, at the time Prof. Bascompte joined that Institute. Jordi Bascompte was given the authorization to employ this image for professional uses (like webpages, seminars, press releases, etc.) and passed it directly to me upon request. Therefore, I have Jordi Bascompte's authorization to use it and he has the authorization from his Institution to make that image available on the web. How should I declare the copyright for this image in Wikimedia Commons? Once I know how to declare it, should I restart from scratch with the Wizard or is there a way to update the metadata of the uploaded image?

Another comment sounds: "[the page] requires (...) the addition of relevant WP:IRS—which NONE of the current sources meet." As the subject is a faculty person, the currently cited sources are peer-reviewed scientific articles about his work, which - from the perspective of academics - are the most reliable sources. However, I understand Wikipedia is not for academics only and, probably, it is not in line with Wikipedia’s policy to cite only sources authored by the subject of the Wipkipedia page itself. Should I rather refer to independent sources speaking about Jordi Bascompte’s work, such as reviews, press releases or newspapers?

Thank you for the attention you will give to this pair of questions.

Best regards,

A. V.

Avindigni (talk) 10:01, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Avindingi In terms of the image, the best thing to do would be to have the person who took the image with their camera upload it and claim it as their own work(while being aware of the consequences of doing so, that it could be used by anyone for any purpose, including commercial). Usually the photographer, not the person depicted in the image, holds the copyright(unless Dr. Bascompte has a contract assigning him copyright) Note that images are not necessary in terms of getting a draft approved, so there is no rush in that regard(only "free" images with no copyright issues can be in drafts)
Yes, the draft should primarily summarize what independent reliable sources say about Dr. Bascompte. He does seem to be notable, so you are partially there- you just need to summarize independent sources instead of merely documenting his accomplishments. 331dot (talk) 10:46, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

10:23:27, 11 February 2022 review of draft by HutchPJ77


Hi, my submission for a page about Bedford Independent has been rejected (Draft:Bedford Independent) it seems that the references are not suitable as they are not independent, because they are trade media. I am confused as to why trade media (in particular in the journalism sector) is not considered independent. These are genuine editorial articles, not paid for, and the sources are regulated and independent in their editorial standards.

Can someone please help me to understand what sources are suitable and/or if the articles I have suggested are in fact suitable and the rejection is perhaps an oversight?

Thank you so much, I look forward to your reoly.

HutchPJ77 (talk) 10:23, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

HutchPJ77 The issue is not that trade media is used, it is that the specific pieces are based on interviews, or are announcements of routine business activities. These things do not establish notability as they come from the topic itself. What is needed are independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this publication- coverage that goes beyond merely confirming its existence or its routine activities. Interviews are a primary source and cannot be used to establish notability. Please review WP:ORG, the definition of a notable organization on Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 10:38, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
331dot Hi, 331dot, I really do appreciate your quick reply and explanation. This helps a lot. I am a little confused as to why this is the case, surely third party sources, regardless of the content do establish the existence of the subject matter and so, therefore, provide evidence that what is contained is accurate. As a journalist myself, I find this a little odd. However, if this is the practice for Wikipedia, I respect that it's the way it is and will follow it accordingly. Do you have then, please, any advice on how I need to edit the draft so we have a page for the Bedford Independent on Wikipedia. This is vital for us for a number of reasons, not least of all to make sure Wikipedia is up to date too. Your support is appreciated.
HutchPJ77 Wikipedia is not for documenting the mere existence of a topic. Wikipedia is interested in what independent reliable sources say with significant coverage; not just those that merely documents the existence of the topic. I might suggest using the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia and what is expected of article content. I greatly apologize for being frank with you- and I really intend this as trying to help you- but I must say that Wikipedia has no interest in how the presence (or lack of) a Wikipedia article about your organization may benefit it, or in your organization's online presence. Any benefits are on the side, and not our primary goal. We are only interested in summarizing independent reliable sources.
This admittedly can be hard for media organizations outside of large ones like the New York Times, NBC News, the BBC, etc., as they don't always write about each other- but this is necessary for verification purposes. 331dot (talk) 17:03, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
331dot Thank you and no worries for being frank. What you say is slightly contradictory though in that we're not just seeking a presence for our sake but also to show the evolution of media in the local sphere, this is not just important in our area but the world over. You'll see that two other titles in our area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_%26_Citizen) and (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedfordshire_on_Sunday) exist on Wikipedia and the draft for the Bedford Independent doesn't seem to be very different from their content and sources. Please be assured I'm not asking for you or anyone else to just allow our Wikipedia article as it is. However, support in editing the draft so it will be accepted would be important. I believe the inclusion gives a genuine record of how local media is evolving and to say Wikipedia would not benefit from that, even in a small way, is not entirely accurate - and I have used independent, reliable sources. I will indeed use the new user tutorial, but if you have any further thoughts that would be a great help, thank you.

13:45:58, 11 February 2022 review of submission by RolandBacon

The proposed article was refused by the editor with the following justification: This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

But the proposed article is a direct translation of the same article published since a few years in the French wikipedia pages (after a number of revision to add references). Then I do not understand why it cannot be published in the English wikipedia version. May be you can give me more information. Thanks in advance. RolandBacon (talk) 13:45, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RolandBacon Each langauge version of Wikipedia is a separate project, with their own editors and policies. What is acceptable one version is not necessarily acceptable on another. Any article about you on the English Wikipedia must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about you. The draft currently just documents your (significant) accomplishments. Please read Your First Article.
Note that you may wish to review the autobiography policy; while not forbidden, writing about yourself is discouraged. 331dot (talk) 13:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is for Debasish Mridha article. Just want to know if foreign-language references are allowed and how that works. Subject article was rejected because all I had was English-language references. He has many, many more in Bengali. If I post the English translation of the title, are these allowed? JasonMIIPH (talk) 16:04, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

JasonMIIPH I assume this is about the draft in your sandbox. See this page, but in short, sources are not required to be in English. 331dot (talk) 16:07, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

18:30:11, 11 February 2022 review of submission by WikiJazzHub

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have created a draft for a jazz artist. I believe this draft falls under the guidelines elucidated within WP:Music (Please see Criteria for musicians and ensembles points #2 and #5, questionable yet possible #7). However, my belief does not move the pen here, hence my need for professional opinion/action. Been a Wikipedian for a long time, but new to making actual articles. Your help is greatly appreciated.

In addition and as a courtesy:

  • I am in no way connected to the subject.
  • Nor am I paid to edit.
  • I am but a mere jazz aficionado seeking a little guidance. Looking to finally make an article contribution to the Wikiverse. More to follow.

Salutations, WikiJazzHub (talk) 18:30, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiJazzHub, I'm gonna punt on #2, mostly because I'm not sure how to interpret WP:CHARTS, I think they meet it with the airplay chart but also can just as easily read that page as they needed to make the main chart. As to #5, do any of those labels have wikipedia articles? If not, little hard to call them major indies. And on #7, there is zero sourcing provided to make such a claim. The Wichita article appears to be the only in-depth coverage provided and its really local coverage, so doesn't show a national prominence. So, yeah I'd say the article as is hinges on interpreting #2 of WP:NMUSIC as current sourcing doesn't support meeting any other criteria.Slywriter (talk) 18:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Slywriter, I agree on all fronts. Another Wikipedian advised that I include the Eagle article to which I wasn't initially aware of as it is not included in my original draft. Seemed solid at the time and does appear local (heavy hitter in the state of Kansas but local nonetheless).

As a side note, some (possibly) useful information contained within and pertaining to WP:CHARTS under specified section Decision tree for adding song charts, Smooth Jazz Songs is listed under Applicable US charts with inclusion on the Airply only charts, albeit dead last on the list! :). The condition is as such: "Regardless of other chartings, you may add any of the charts to the right."

Thank you for your timely response. Is there any further action required on my part or is this now simply a matter of waiting for the other shoe to drop?

Regards, WikiJazzHub (talk) 19:12, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Slywriter Sorry for not addressing #5 of the WP:NMUSIC criteria. I believe the label needs only be major or an important indie: "(i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)". Just looked them up and quite easily noticed that they have a handful of notable artists on their roster. I'd say it falls under the latter portion of #5. It's a smaller genre, so it's much more difficult to quantify these things. Fortunately, the information is laid out fairly well in WP:NMUSIC. And I agree that #7 is out of the window.

Thanks again, WikiJazzHub (talk) 19:37, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiJazzHub, sort of wait and see. Hoping one of the reviewers who deals with music more sees this and chimes in. Just not sure whether that inclusion section is also for notability or just a list of what is acceptable to mention once notability is established. NMUSIC probably could use some clarity on #2, though equally possible I am just overthinking it.Slywriter (talk) 19:40, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Slywriter Certainly. Again, thanks for taking the time to check it out. And yes, NMUSIC is due for an update and also gets some faulty edits here and there. There's also the possibility that we're both overthinking it :). Cheers, WikiJazzHub (talk) 19:56, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

22:11:58, 11 February 2022 review of draft by Garvincarter


My original request for assistance was archived without answer.

This article entry was declined for sounding like an advertisement. There was no particular reference to content areas in the article that are at fault, just a generalization. This was paired with a comment that it was also declined for not having sufficient independent references. While there is a section of bibliographic works, none of these are used in citations. There are 70 citations with the exception of 3 or 4, from sources the subject does not control. Of these 3 or 4 citations, they were used to confirm an interview topic with a mass market media source the subject does not control. Having seen numerous attorney articles with less citations or relevance, it would be good to understand how to get this article in a better position.

To that end my questions remain:

1) What areas of the entry are violating a neutral statement of facts? 2) There are 70 citations from international media organizations down to local media sources, from broadcast news to industry trades. Are these not enough? If so, what type of citations will be needed?

I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Garvin Carter (talk) 22:11, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles are not for merely stating facts, but for summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about a topic, showing how they meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person. Fewer high quality sources are preferable to many low quality sources.
Please read other stuff exists. Each article and draft is judged on its own merits. That other articles exist does not automatically means that yours can too. It could be that these other articles you have seen are also inappropriate. We can only address what we know about; 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. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those that are classified as good articles. 331dot (talk) 23:01, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think the submission at least merits a stub article?

Lightbluerain❄ (Talk💬 Contribs✏️) 10:27, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lightbluerain To pass this process, you need to have at least three independent reliable sources with significant coverage to summarize. You do not need to submit a fully finished article, but you need the sources. The sources you have offered do not have significant coverage- they seem to just be announcements of this man's activities. If you want to create a stub with the hope that others will expand it, you may do that yourself, but there is no guarantee that such a stub will be allowed to remain as a stub, and would probably be moved back to draft space. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

19:21:52, 12 February 2022 review of submission by BrickBelltower

On 2/10 I asked you for help because I could not complete my draft AfC -- I was "copying and pasting" my personal article copy, section by section, into the Wiki AfC template. Then, I got to a certain point - specifically the listing for "Greenbaum" (which you can see as the last line entered in my AfC on the "Women's Project of New Jersey" Wiki article) and the AfC template would no longer accept my section "paste". I tried again and again. I went in and came out of the website. I simply was no longer able to paste in any more language into my draft AfC article. I found that I WAS able to TYPE in new language. But I could no longer "copy and paste" any additional language into the article. I don't want to have to "re-type" all the rest of the article. I want to be able to copy and paste the remaining language into the article. Can you help me? Caroline Jacobus, alias BrickBelltower BrickBelltower (talk) 19:21, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am puzzled why this article was declined. This is a well-known artist who already appears on Wikipedia on the list of winners of International Photographer of the Year. Other winners have Wikipedia pages, so it seems strange she would be denied one. She was just the subject of a major Washington Post magazine article. I added a reference to a Boston Globe article. There are other sources listed as well, as as the World Gold Council video (an unusual honor) and Shonda Rimes’s Shondaland website. I respectively request another review.

The draft has been rejected it will not be considered further. Theroadislong (talk) 21:57, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)@MOBCarry: I too believe the error is in the Draft, since it is not sourced, nor does it demonstrate how they meet WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG. If none of these criteria are met then they will not have an article on the English Wikipedia. Please ready through WP:YFA for more information.

Thank you for creating a place to help new editors. My first article was moved out of the mains place, with a request to do a better job of citing my references. I complied and resubmitted, and it was rejected for plagiarism. All of the words were my own, and all of the references were cited. Even the topic is my own. I have written the editor on his or her talk page and responded on my talk page, and have no response. I am afraid to resubmit it without understanding why he or she thought that it was copied, or if I have misunderstood the reason for the rejection. The Draft is called “The Scottish Feudal Barony of MacDuff”, and is part of the series on Imperial, royal, noble, gentry and chivalric ranks in Europe. Thanks!

Thank you for the quick response. It is as described on my talk page. The language that was used on that website, in some cases, was verbatim from my wiki article. That website was created AFTER the Wikipedia article I created and at one time linked to it when the article was in the main space. After my article got moved back to drafts, the link went dead, and the sites owner removed the link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grnhrnt35 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please look at the edit history of the draft for evidence that it was not cut and pasted. Also, I understand why editors would think that, abd have noted it on the talk page, as I read that was why an editor is supposed to do in such an instance. Is there more to that should be done?

Request on 14:57:11, 13 February 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Desertambition


Hello, I am trying to understand what constitutes appropriate notability for article creation. Some recent directors of Doctor Who episodes do not have articles created (Annetta Laufer, Haolu Wang) and I was under the impression that directing a show as big as Doctor Who is notable by itself. I made sure to add some other details that I could find. Jamie Magnus Stone has an article and his credentials and sources seem to be on par with if not worse than the ones I provided for Annetta Laufer. How could I improve my article so that it is appropriate for creation? If none are notable, would it be appropriate to nominate Jamie Magnus Stone for deletion?

Desertambition (talk) 14:57, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Desertambition: while the subject may be notable, right now the article needs more reliable, secondary sources. Currently a few of the references are interviews, which are considered primary sources and should be used sparingly. >>> Wgullyn.talk(); 15:21, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Wgullyn: Thank you for the feedback! I'm not sure if there are any better sources. If the work is significantly notable, is there an argument for creating the page with a tag saying "more reliable sources needed"? It looks like most Doctor Who directors have pages with directing Doctor Who being their most notable work. I feel like it would be ok to not have perfect sources in this instance. Annetta Laufer and Haolu Wang also appear to be the first women of color to direct episodes of Doctor Who. Desertambition (talk) 15:41, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Desertambition: I'm not sure if they pass WP:NDIRECTOR right now. If they had directed a significant number of episodes, then they would probably be notable, but only directing a single episode probably isn't enough to qualify for an article. >>> Wgullyn.talk(); 15:51, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Desertambition: (ec) To pass this process, you need at least three independent reliable sources with significant coverage. If you wish to create the article in main space, you are free to do so, but it cannot be guaranteed that it will be allowed to remain there. As the person could be notable, any main space article you create about this would likely get moved back to Draft(or even deleted since you have a draft). 331dot (talk) 15:52, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Wgullyn: @331dot: I understand this a lot better now, thank you. I'm not sure what the best move is. Annetta Laufer has been involved in other films as well (Blue Story) but I'm not sure it passes WP:NDIRECTOR. She was recognized at the American Black Film Festival, which has a wiki article. It seems like both directors are on the edge of having an article. What should I do in your opinion? Desertambition (talk) 16:01, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Desertambition: I don't think she passes NDIRECTOR. If there were several independent reliable sources with significant coverage that discussed her and the significance of her career, she would pass the broader notable person definition, but that doesn't seem to be there right now. I would just keep an eye out for more sources and keep the draft handy(drafts are only deleted if not edited for six months). 331dot (talk) 16:29, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has no interest in helping potential customers learn about your company or its services. Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves.

Thanks for any help.

3cordguy (talk) 23:24, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 3cordguy. Examining half of the sources at random, they are not independent, reliable sources that contain significant coverage of him. His podcast's website is not independent of him. Neither is anything he has written, such as the article for The Christian Post, the EFCA blog post, or the author bio on Theology Mix. As far as the American Bible Society blog and MuskOx, almost all websites except those published by traditional publishers (such as news media) are self-published, and therefore not reliable. Furthermore, the former contains a single sentence about Whitman (not in depth and detailed coverage), and the second is an interview, Whitman talking about Whitman, so lacks independence. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:29, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How long would it take to review the Draft:Huma Batool by @adeelkhanwwc

 On hold pending paid editing disclosure, see User talk:Adeelkhanwwc#Declare any connection. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:38, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Adeelkhanwwc: Thank you for your response. With the current backlog, you can expect Draft:Huma Batool to be reviewed by early May 2022.
From a brief look at The Nation, Daily Ausaf, and BBC Urdu, I think it is unlikely to be accepted. The claim to be the "first ever woman owner of an airline ... in 100 years of world aviation history" is nonsense. Modern counterexamples include Western Air, Fly Blue Crane, and Iskwew Air. Innumerable small charter companies have existed, so there's undoubtedly a much earlier first, but it isn't something that anyone tracks.
Ownership requires no particular skill. Successfully managing an airline is much more significant. Even so, only one of Colleen Barrett, Anne Rigail, and Joanna Geraghty, all leaders of major airlines with annual revenues in the billions of dollars, is notable. So it's improbable that being the chairperson of Alvier Airlines, which has yet to fly a single flight, would make a person a suitable subject for an encyclopedia article. Do not confuse exposure in the form of interviews and on social media such as Facebook and YouTube with Wikipedia's concept of notability. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:39, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ayeshairshad There is nothing that you can do, as the draft was rejected. This means that it cannot be considered any more. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about an organization and what it does. That is considered promotional here.

Hi there. Are political candidates allowed to have a Wikipedia page?


GoodPoliticstruthPolitics (talk) 11:01, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GoodPoliticstruthPolitics I assume this has to do with the draft I've added a link to in the template above. Please read WP:NPOLITICIAN. With very rare exceptions(such as Christine O'Donnell), merely being a candidate for public office does not merit the person a Wikipedia article. This is because in many places it is not difficult to get listed on the ballot as a candidate, which could lead to many people who register as candidates so they would get a Wikipedia article. That may sound silly to you, but it does happen even now. Wikipedia is not interested in aiding any campaigns, either.
They would merit one if they currently hold public office, or if they win their election. Otherwise, they would need to meet the broader definition of a notable person. 331dot (talk) 11:12, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@George-white12: We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every biographical claim that could potentially be challenged for any justifiable reason MUST be cited to an independent, in-depth, non-routine source with editorial control that corroborates the claim or (if no such sources can be found) removed. This is a hard requirement when writing content about living or recently-departed people on Wikipedia and is NOT NEGOTIABLE. You also cannot use the presence, absence, or condition of other pages to justify your own, and you really shouldn't be taking inspiration from articles that aren't Good or Featured status. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 21:12, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Can you explain me exactly what is needed to turn from start-class to proper, googlable wiki article the following page: Persuasion (online magazine). The guidelines online talk a bit fuzzily about "improving" the article, but I cannot see how that would look like: the article presents references when needed, is grammatically impeccable, and follows the style-guide to the t. I've seen other wiki articles lacking references and still be legitimate, visible articles on google. Why not this one?

Marialbno96 Since your draft was accepted, you may use the more general Help Desk for questions. To answer you, though- Google takes time to index articles; it occurs once the article is marked as patrolled by a New Pages Patroller, or after a period of time(30-60 days I think). Do you have a particular need for it to appear in Google quickly?

I am asking you if you are able to check the page and point out exactly what needs "improvement", since I can't figure it out myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marialbno96 (talk • contribs) 11:22, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Marialbno96 Please review WP:PAID and make the required declaration on your user page, this is a Terms of Use requirement. The article could almost certainly be rated higher than start class; I've marked it as C class so it is beyond Start at least. It may possibly be higher; though B class suggests illustrations if possible, as well as few if any missing pieces of information or citations. 331dot (talk) 11:30, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If the magazine has a logo, that would help. See WP:UPIMAGE for more information. An image of the logo would be a fair use license. 331dot (talk) 11:31, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers for that. I've added an infobox+logo which might make it B class? I have also signed a disclosure in my user page. Marialbno96 (talk) 12:31, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Marialbno96 I've made it B since there is a logo. I have found Wikipedia:WikiProject Magazines/Writing guide at the Magazine WikiProject which may help you. Yes, you have disclosed correctly, thank you. 331dot (talk) 12:34, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@331dot and Marialbno96: The logo being used in the article's infobox (File:Persuasion-community.png) is almost certainly too simple to be eligible for copyright protection per c:COM:TOO United States and doesn't really need to be licensed as {{Non-free logo}}. I suggest it be re-upload to Commons instead as c:Template:PD-textlogo. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that, 331dot. Marchjuly, I've uploaded the logo on wikimedia commons as you suggested: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard. Am I supposed to add that to the infobox now? And if so, do I do that by just writing 'persuasion.community.png' in the Infobox's image voice? Marialbno96 (talk) 13:04, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing my article! However, it was declined because the subject already exists. I want to bring to your notice that the information on that article is false why is why I curated a new piece based on facts. Please let me know how I can have my article accepted. Any advice will be appreciated.

12:50:47, 15 February 2022 review of submission by VikiKrisz

Hi, my draft was declined on the basis that it has no independent sources. However, the company in question is mentioned and referred to twice on this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PTP_implementations (Polynet/PolyNet). That is what gave me the idea to create a new article on the company. Is it possible to connect these references with the new article "PolyNet Telecommunications"? Would that make this draft legit? Thank you for your time reviewing my question, I really appreciate your help. VikiKrisz (talk) 12:50, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi VikiKrisz. Being mentioned on another Wikipedia page does not mean the company is a suitable subject for an entire encyclopedia article; it does not mean it is notable. The references used on that other page are the company's website, so are not independent sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:10, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have just submitted a Live Person page, which now is un der re-review as Draft:Anders Björklund. I have a head-shot photo that I would like to add to the Infobox. How can I do that? Can I get the permission to upload the picture, or can an editor do it for me? Best regards, Anders Bjrklund

Anders Bjorklund Lund (talk) 13:15, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anders Bjorklund Lund Images are not necessary for getting an article approved, but The best thing is if you took an image of yourself with your own camera, you may then upload it yourself, see WP:UPIMAGE. If you have a professional head shot that someone else took, they will need to upload it. 331dot (talk) 13:21, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

M A Y [British Musician]

why has this been declined M A Y is a musician so pages like Spotify and Apple Music proof the material from the Artist how are they not reliable sources. could you please let me know what exactly is need to be changed on the article. as I am confused as to what needs to be taken out and added please help thanks.

Rsmfilmsuk You have only cited the existence of the music; this does not demonstrate notability. An article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state. 331dot (talk) 13:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For my citation #2, Carla Zimmerman's Inventory to the Records of the Women's Project of New Jersey, an archive located in the Special Collections of the Rutgers U. Libraries, I keep putting in the URL address as "http://www2.scc.rutgers.edu/ead/manuscripts/wpnjf.html" and the wiki template keeps changing it to "www2.scc.rutgers.edu". Consequently, the link to the Women's Project of NJ archive is lost. How can I get the correct link to the WPNJ archive entered into the citation? Thanks, BrickBelltower BrickBelltower (talk) 18:13, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@BrickBelltower: Ref errors fixed. I tried to reduce the size, but there's still way too much info there, for the sourcing. In this case, less is more. I'd reduce it by about 75% and focus on finding more sources to demonstrate notability. Source everything that's there and you'll find it easier to figure out what to remove. BTW - this is a place to discuss the article being declined. The WP:Help Desk or WP:Teahouse can help you with syntax questions. TechnoTalk (talk) 00:51, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

18:34:51, 15 February 2022 review of submission by Eladlavy12

Hi, I would like to ask for advice regarding this article. I have helped with this article with the intention of making it notable, after thorough research about both the subject itself and its field. I am open to criticism and suggestion, however I do believe it has some reliable content, and at least some of it could be preserved or refined. I have consulted with some editors and Wikipedians, and while some had ideas and edited the content, they all thought that the article is at least respectful and followed the guidelines of Wikipedia. This gives me hope to not give up on it, but rather consult with you and see how can I achieve the optimal results for my efforts.
Would appreciate your advice, thank you. Eladlavy12 (talk) 18:34, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eladlavy12: I made a few edits to restore some sources that were removed, but in such a way as to not be too promotional. I also added a new source with some decent info. Pinging @JBW: to see if he still feels this deserves a terminal rejection versus a decline, so it can continue to be improved before being resubmitted.

@78.101.187.150: There's not enough material here for a standalone article. Your best bet is to find 1 or 2 good sources of coverage and add a student life section to the Qatar University article, with no more than two sentences. You can use the school papers as sources.

Hi team,

This is first time I am submitting an entry. This is about a living person and I am not getting what kind of references it is needed. Please let me know before declining it.

Svalluru81 (talk) 20:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Svalluru81: especially on biographies about living people, every claim should be backed up by a reliable reference with an inline citation. Right now the only source you have is a mention of the subject. I've declined the draft for now; before submitting it again, please add at least 4 reliable, in-depth sources on the subject. >>> Wgullyn.talk(); 20:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, your userpage suggests you are writing about yourself. Autobiographies are conflict of interest editing and are strongly discouraged. >>> Wgullyn.talk(); 20:43, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@51.37.253.178: You don't ask a question, but I assume this is about the rejection of your draft. The sourcing is poor, and this incident isn't notable enough to be more than a single line (or at most two) in Discord (software)#History. But only with a reliable third party source, none of which are currently in the draft. TechnoTalk (talk) 00:13, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

10:12:40, 16 February 2022 review of submission by Aphis Marta

Hi everyone,

I submitted the above draft back in December because of my CoI. The draft has already been reviewed positively (yay!) but according to the reviewer it appears that there is a redirect in the way that prevents a simple move. I did a bit of digging around and according to WP:RFD#DELETE a page can not be moved over a redirect if the latter has a history of its own (the target page has been renamed several times, and the redirect edited accordingly).

My question therefore is whether Wikipedia:Requested_moves/Technical_requests would be the right place to ask for this redirect to be deleted (there is a specific "Administrator needed" sub-section), or if it should be done here?

Thanks!

Aphis Marta (talk) 10:12, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, that would be the correct place to request that. In your request, note that the reviewer would have accepted your draft. 331dot (talk) 10:35, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
