- Shadysbook (talk · contribs) (TB)
I am requesting this article to be published because the organization is one of the prominent fertility healthcare institutions in India. We have other players in India "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Hospitals", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yashoda_Hospitals" who has the Wikipedia pages that represent healthcare development. Many of the Indians are not able to understand the importance of fertility, fertility rates, and fertility hospitals that can help them to undergo treatments.
Please check this link: https://datacommons.org/tools/timeline#&place=country/IND&statsVar=FertilityRate_Person_Female Which says the need for fertility hospitals that help many couples move on generations. This is an important issue and I am trying to educate everyone with the help of starting the article on one of the institutes now and proceeding to update further and this wing too. The share articles and hyperlinks are valid and authenticated in our newspapers, magazines and has great coverage across India. Please review this: https://oasisindia.in/news-and-media/#1632389651208-8ef00ffb-ba82
Kindly let me know how else can I add and improvise the article to ensure that this goes live.

13:18:39, 28 February 2022 review of submission by Slmer
Hello, Service Lifecycle Management(SLM) is the subset of Product Lifecycle Management that deals with after sales stage of a product. I think it should be part of Wikipedia for the following reasons: 1) Leading commercial Product Lifecycle Management(PLM) software vendors like Siemens Digital Industries Software, PTC and others refer to SLM as a domain within their PLM offering 2) There is already an SLM article in Wikipedia in German language and it makes sense to have one in English as well(https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-Lifecycle-Management). 3) SLM is being referred to as a phase of PLM in the PLM article of Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_lifecycle#Phase_4:_Service) 4) It represents a real approach of handling service data as part of the complete product lifecycle management
The current article is basic, but for the reasons above I think it represents a real topic, not a marketing trend, with actual need and a set of commercial vendors investing in solutions of that need. Hence I am kindly asking re-review of the article.
Many thanks
Slmer (talk) 13:18, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Slmer The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. That other language Wikipedias have a particular article does not necessarily mean this one should. Each langauge version of Wikipedia is its own project, with their own editors and policies. What is acceptable on one version is not necessarily acceptable on another. Regarding the draft itself, the sources do little more than define the term. They are not significant coverage of discussion of this terminology. 331dot (talk) 13:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
my first article has been rejected...I´m working on it again and would like to know:
• What is the specific criteria for when a sentence or piece of information requires a citation?
• Are internal citations (i.e. links back to your own website) acceptable, or should they be avoided.
Thanks a lot!

- To answer your question, a Wikipedia article must primarily summarize what independent reliable sources say about the topic. Every substantive claim should have a citation(i.e not something like the sky being blue). 331dot (talk) 15:50, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

- Tobyhoward (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi, I am a long-time WikiGnome and have now written my first article (about the 1980 TV movie "The Hard Way"). The reviewer has declined the draft article with the comment "This draft lacks Reception information, such as reviews. Please expand with Reception information." This is perfectly fair, and I would like to fix this. My question is: what reviews would be considered acceptable? I cannot find any 1980 reviews from the likes of Variety, Hollywood Reporter, etc, and this is not surprising because this TV movie made little impact at the time and then disappeared. There are plenty of "viewer" reviews though (IMDb etc). Would these be acceptable to quote? What makes this movie notable for Wikipedia, IMHO, is that it featured two major stars, Patrick McGoohan and Lee Van Cleef, and has now become a cult movie attracting a lot of discussion (it is now available on DVD). I'd appreciate any advice! Thank you! -- Toby
Tobyhoward (talk) 19:11, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Tobyhoward IMBD is not acceptable as a source as it is user-editable- even if it were, the reviews by ordinary people lack significance; we would need reviews by professional or at least recognized reviewers/critics. Note that a topic is typically not notable by association with notable people. 331dot (talk) 19:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

- I have added the propper code allowing you to submit the draft for review, however, submitting the draft at this time would be a waste of time as it would not be accepted. Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources.

- Yes, there are two sources in Draft:Devendra Khandelwal. One of them mentions that he is the chairman of the IIMC, and the other one says that he has shot eighteen documentaries about Mahatma Gandhi, and that he has been a judge for the National Award and the Screen Film Awards. But the draft contains a lot more information, about things like his education, his date of birth, his production company, and so on. Where does that information come from? A biographical article about a living person has particularly strong requirements for sourcing – as you were told last time you asked about this draft. Sources need to be independent, secondary, and provide in-depth coverage of the person (not just a mention of his name). And in addition, the draft is still very promotionally written, so it would not be accepted for that reason, either. --bonadea contributions talk 17:31, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Per prior inquiry re patent links: the noted patent table IS a summary table, following a fully-referenced bio article. If a reader wishes to see details of a particular patent doc it is easier to have a ready link available than none. But your comment is useful, as it states Wiki ranks gov sources like USPTO over Google, even tho Google's searchable text may have more utility. Thx.

Hello, 9 months ago I created a draft article for an organization, Global Americans. To comply with the notability guidelines, I included a few independent, secondary, reliable sources, but the article was rejected for a lack of independent sources. I've now added several more independent, secondary, and reliable sources with significant coverage. These include a staff-written article in Forbes, which is recognized as a reliable source in the perennial sources list. Most of the references are from Spanish-language media, so they are not yet on the perennial sources list. These include Milenio, Las 2 Orillas, Voice of America, Perfil, and El Financiero—a Mexican periodical whose partner company, Bloomberg, is on the perennial sources list. Would you let me know if these sources will qualify the article for publication? If not, please let me know what other edits I should make! Thank you.

08:38:32, 3 March 2022 review of submission by Sethboyk2
Have had the draft for this page rejected, suggestion is that the references are 'passing' as far as i can tell each of the references are from independent press publications and directly relate to the topic referenced, none of the articles are sponsored or paid for and as far as I can tell the company has at least as significant presence in the industry and sport as other companies already present on Wikipedia, any help appreciated!
Sethboyk2 (talk) 08:38, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Sethboyk2 The draft was only declined, not rejected. Rejected would mean it could not be resubmitted, but a decline means that it can be submitted. Please understand that each draft is judged on its own merits, and the existence of other articles has no bearing on this one. It could be that these other articles you have seeen are also inappropriate and simply not addressed yet. This is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, so it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us. See other stuff exists.
- The issue is not necessarily the specific sources themselves, but their content. The first source you give is based on interviews and a tour of the company factory given by the company. The second source describe the manufacturing process they use and has very little about the company itself. The third is based on an interview with the company founder; interviews are primary sources and do not establish notability. The fourth source is a promotional piece about the company, written by someone invited in by the company. The fifth is a brief profile-like entry about the company, not significant coverage. The last sources seems to describe a new type of helmet technology and mentions the company little(from what I could tell, it is lengthy).
- A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Please read Your First Article. I see that other than one edit twelve years ago, you have exclusively edited about this company. If you have a connection to this company, please read about conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 10:08, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a place for a company to tell the world about itself, it is for summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company.

- NoelNixon2005 As the reviewer said, films generally do not merit articles before their release. See WP:NFF. The only exceptions would be if there is some aspect of the production of the film itself that receives significant coverage and is notable, beyond mere announcements of casting, crew, the commencement of principal photography, etc. An example of that is Rust (suspended film). As the draft was rejected, it will not be considered further. Once the film is released, it will then be notable and you may resubmit this then. 331dot (talk) 15:16, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

I request this draft be re-reviewed - Draft:Peter Gena (without re-submitting) for the reason that the editor who declined cited "non-reliable sources" - unreliable sources may, in this draft according to this rejection, include The New York Times, National Podcast by national journalist and cultural figure Studs Terkel (who is a living figure on Wikipedia), the library archives of the State University of New York, Buffalo - collected papers of this living composer, and the French government, and others. It was a bizarre rejection on that basis. I wrote most of the article and could not parse how The New York Times and SUNY Buffalo, The French Government, and others are perceived as inadequate sources. Can you? A lot of articles would need to be taken down under those editorial decisions. :) I would also ask for a review of this editor for their editing privileges. They did not provide other reasoning of merit. I look forward to the exchange, especially with respect to the NYT, French Government, SUNY Buffalo, Studs Terkel, The Chicago Reader, and other rejected, unreliable sources. Thank you. 2601:18E:8201:7B50:806F:263C:209C:4184 (talk) 16:55, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- All references to his own website should be removed. In most cases the issues are not with the sources themeselves, but their content. If the coverage is not significant enough, the person would not merit an article. Please describe your three best independent reliable sources below. 331dot (talk) 17:11, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
There are actually only two brief references to his website? Including one that is a record of a book? I suppose that could just be the publisher's website of the book? The only thing on the page is the book's publishing info. You ask for the three best independent reliable sources.
1. This is from the State University of Buffalo of New York. It is this composer's archive at a university library, i.e. his collected papers preserved for posterity. It lists numerus items including scores, letters, photographs and serves to validate the fact that this composer is both a historic figure by nature of having an institutional archive of merit in perpetuity (or at least as long as the university exists, it is part of New York state as a state in the US, I guess you could both check the Department of Education in the Federal government to confirm New York's eduation department and also the Constitution to confirm that New York is part of the USA to confirm viability overseen by the Department of Education. In all serious! Here is the link to New York's SUNY BUFFALO ARCHIVE OF PETER GENA: https://www.empireadc.org/search/catalog/nbuumu_ubmu0085
2. The New York Times. Widely known throughout the world as the best English language newspaper, but refer to Wikipedia article for further verification of The New York Times, maybe they were from another country that has not heard of the paper. https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1982/07/08/260913.html?pageNumber=60
3. It was hard to choose a third, but I would the Studs Terkel about Podcast about John Cage, see Wikipedia, one of America's most important composers, and also the importance and validity of Studs Terkel (again see Wikipedia).
To me, the most profound verification is in the archive at SUNY Buffalo. In general, if an archive at a university has been dedicated to your life and work, it presumes international and national importance, and also provide bounteous documentation. The other sources in addition to the New York Times and the Studs Terkel broadcast mostly back up biographical material and also proof of the importance of the research importance of his work as a professor for 40 years, as well as document his work producing major musical festivals in the 1980s.
The coverage complaint was superficial without commentary, which is why I ask that the editor's privileges be reviewed. There is no further commentary explaining or discussing what coverage is or is not significant and how the article can provide acceptable "coverage". ""Coverage" as a term strikes me as something that amounts to "media coverage" on the internet - I am not sure I have ever heard of books, recordings, inclusions in museums and exhibitions, and archives referred to as "coverage". Have you? In any case, without inventing new meanings for words, let's assume the editor meant "a variety of credible sources" by abbreviation. I believe the sources referred to, in addition to those cited in the article are more than enough to establish functional meaning for publication. 2 out of 12 sources refer to the composer's website, maybe 1/6 is too much? I think a lot of articles would have to be deleted if this formula of percentiles was used. However, if the references should be deleted, I will do that now, the information is duplicated elsewhere. The prospect of removing personal websites as sources across Wikipedia will require a great deal of editing and I will only be able to do this draft, I hope that is ok! 2601:18E:8201:7B50:B876:D611:3420:333E (talk) 18:51, 4 March 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18E:8201:7B50:B876:D611:3420:333E (talk) 18:46, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
I see that the Studs Terkel podcast is not a source for Wikipedia. So, it has been removed as a source and only used as an external link. There are so many other sources that are reliable, but I suppose I would go with the Chicago Reader, as it has a circulation of several million and online access, the latter of which seems to be the relevant reference for the online encyclopedia. But, you could also go with any number of the academic papers on JSTOR or the important Lovely Music record label recordings or articles by Kyle Gann as sourced or otherwise. 2601:18E:8201:7B50:B876:D611:3420:333E (talk) 19:48, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Please refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:
- http://www.eartaxifestival2016.com/peter-gena-1 is useless for notability (connexion to subject, too sparse). He is listed as a composer for the festival and the actual text itself is little more than a glorified curriculum vitae.
- Collections of his written papers are useless for notability unless you're specifically making an claim for notability as an academic or research professor, and even then they wouldn't be of much use.
- http://www.lovely.com/artists/a-gena.html is useless for notability (connexion to subject). Am I correct in assuming this is his record label?
- https://chicagoreader.com/arts-culture/music-notes-peter-gena-makes-a-scene/ is borderline. While there are portions where the journalist is allowed to do his job, the lion's share of the relevant parts of the article is extensive quotes from him.
- https://isea-archives.siggraph.org/person/peter-gena/ is useless for notability (too sparse). Profile.
- The PDF is merely scanned pages and not a rich PDF. Unless you provide page numbers, I'm not going to go looking for a bone needle in a barn crammed with hay armed only with a magnet.
- I cannot assess https://direct.mit.edu/leon/article-abstract/32/1/25/43735/Life-Music-The-Sonification-of-Proteins (Copy required).
- http://www.johncage2012.com/features/dongillespie.html is useless for this subject (too sparse). He and his magazine are name-dropped, but the article is about John Cage.
- https://www.whozoo.org/mac/Music/Sources.htm discusses his research in re turning DNA into music, but doesn't really talk much about him. This is good for that specific claim (since the person speaking is a research professor in that field) and for notability but it doesn't provide any details beyond that.
- I need timestamps for https://archive.org/details/NMA_1982_07_07_1 to be able to assess this. Again, bone needle, barn of hay, magnet.
- I cannot assess http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1982/07/08/260913.html?pageNumber=60 (Walled). (I do not use, and really cannot effectively use, The Library).
- You have some good here, but this touches on an area where I have erred in the past (i.e. WP:NACADEMIC notability claims) and so I will defer to someone who has considerably more experience with such matters. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 21:13, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

00:57:52, 5 March 2022 review of submission by Andretan1985
Hello, my draft was declined because it "sounded too much like an advertisement".
First, I'd like to point out that I'm a father whose kid uses the baby product brand that I've written an article about, and I do not have any commercial relationship with the company, and I am not being paid to do this. I really liked the brand, and was looking for further information about the brand on Wiki and discovered it didn't have a page, which inspired me to research and write one.
Having said that, I tried my best to follow Wiki guidelines, ensuring that every fact or assertion made was backed up by credible sources. In researching about the brand, I have deliberately avoided using any material from the brand's own webpages, and I have found a wealth of sources, mostly from national newspapers and government websites. (This brand is quite notable within Singapore and has been reported on often).
I feel that writing about a commercial brand necessarily entails describing it, and that inevitably is going to sound like it's "advertising" the brand if it has some claims to fame or notable achievements. I've tried to mitigate that by sticking to factual assertions of what the brand does, and has accomplished, and I believe I have ensured that every such fact is referenced, to show this is not my assertion or something that comes from the brand's own self-advertisement. I've tried to keep my writing as neutral as possible, only sticking to paraphrasing what has already been said in the sources or newspaper articles that I referenced.
I don't understand therefore how it can still be declined for sounding like an advertisement. I also don't understand why the grounds for declining also includes asking me to ensure my sources are reputable/credible, or even that they are referenced at all. Are national newspapers and government websites not reputable or authoritative enough? Have I not found enough? The Wiki notability guidelines even say three separate sources talking about the subject are enough. I have twenty or so.
How can I improve this further, or what specifically about my writing "sounds like an advertisement", so I can improve it and ensure it meets whatever criteria it falls short of? If it needs toning down, do give me some pointers as to where or how.
I'd really appreciate any help you can give me on how to make this better. Thank you!

- Andretan1985 You spend much of the draft talking about the company's products and their features. If you are writing about about company, the article should summarize what independent reliable sources say about the company itself, not its products. Furthermore, awards do not usually warrant a mention unless the award itself merits an article(like an Academy Award or Tony Award). That the company was on a top selling list of a particular website is meaningless without context. Why is that significant?(rhetorical question) 331dot (talk) 01:06, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
