07:02:11, 17 March 2022 review of submission by 107.185.157.67


Why Kale My Name doesn’t have page? How do we change that? One of the most popular vegan business in the country, someone should help source this properly.

107.185.157.67 (talk) 07:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. I'm curious as to how you came to be aware of the draft. 331dot (talk) 09:59, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

08:09:36, 17 March 2022 review of submission by Seniorexpat

My submission was initially declined on 6 December 2021 by one reviewer who left the issue open for other AFC reviewers. Since then I have tried to improve the submission by:

1. getting a link to an honor from the subject's most recent university, and

2. linking to a new honor from peers at an international professional conference.

Therefore I am of good hope that eventually the page will be accepted. The basic problem is that the subject earned his notability more through teaching/business coaching than through publishing. The former is harder to document. Don't you think that the three months' waiting time is enough to deserve a new review?

Seniorexpat (talk) 08:09, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seniorexpat As noted on your draft, "This may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,964 pending submissions waiting for review.". Reviews are conducted by volunteers in no particular order, doing what they can when they can. Please continue to be patient. 331dot (talk) 14:08, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

13:41:59, 17 March 2022 review of submission by Joaocuginotti


Hi! I would really appreciate a reassessment of my draft, due to I believe it is a notable topic to be included on Wikipedia. If there is not enough information, I could improve on that.

Thank you!

Joaocuginotti (talk) 13:41, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the draft was rejected, it will not be considered further. The album does not meet the special Wikipedia definition of notability, as noted by the reviewer. 331dot (talk) 14:07, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Joaocuginotti: I added some recent coverage, and notified the rejecting editor, asking for the rejection to be reconsidered. TechnoTalk (talk) 18:06, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

17:34:29, 17 March 2022 review of submission by Mfulton05


Mfulton05 (talk) 17:34, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]


I added more articles to the page and added in more citations to info that did not have them.

@Mfulton05: There's not enough media coverage of him to meet the notability threshold. See WP:GNG. Notability isn't inherited from his clients. The article has been rejected and will not be considered further. TechnoTalk (talk) 18:13, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please help me understand the notability threshold. I added a bunch of articles that he is the subject of. There are other NFL agents that have similar pages and use similar references. What type of additional articles would be necessary that are not already included? Mfulton05 (talk) 18:35, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Mfulton05 Please read other stuff exists. The existence of other articles has no bearing on the acceptance of your draft, it could be that those other articles are inappropriate. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us. We can only address what we know about. If you want to use other articles as a model, make sure they are classified as good articles. If you would like to help us out, you are welcome to identify these other articles you have seen for possible action. We could use the help. 331dot (talk) 18:40, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am not using that as an argument to get this article published but rather as an question including an example to inquire as to why my article is not approved. As far as I can tell my sources meet the requirements. I am hoping to gain more knowledge as to why this was rejected and what I can do to improve it. Mfulton05 (talk) 18:45, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Mfulton05 Your claim to notability for this person seems to be that they have notable clients. Notability is not inherited by association. Any article about Mr. Perzley must summarize independent reliable sources that discuss him personally, not just tell us who is clients are or what he does for them. Has he had an impact on his field? Created new negotiation techniques? Been involved in litigation that has been impactful to football? (rhetorical questions) Things like that. 331dot (talk) 18:49, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
How do I show that this is not my claim? Several of the articles that are referenced discuss the contributions he has made to the industry. When those who submitted drafts before me, tried to summarize those contributions the article was rejected for sounding like a resume. I can see that in the submission history. What can I do to better reference those articles while still falling in line with all of the guidelines? An example of such an article is: https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/columnists/christopher-maag/2018/09/13/whirlwind-life-nfl-players-agent/916130002/ Mfulton05 (talk) 18:59, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That piece is an interview with him, which is not an independent source. 331dot (talk) 19:25, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have added more articles in the references and throughout the sources that further show the notability of the subject. The subject is a prominent NFL agent who has led the industry. Mfulton05 (talk) 20:28, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mfulton05 Please do not create additional discussion sections; continue to use this existing one. Restating the same arguments, however, will not help. The draft was rejected and won't be considered further. 331dot (talk) 20:32, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you have new information not considered by the reviewer, please appeal to them directly. 331dot (talk) 20:32, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

17:48:26, 17 March 2022 review of draft by Shariba


Hello, I am new to this process. I've uploaded a photo to WikiCommons, but don't know how to insert it in the article. I accidentally uploaded a second version of the photograph... same result. I know the photographer, but the subject of the article says the photo can be freely used. It is everywhere, in reviews of this author's work. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Article: Draft:Gale_Massey

Shariba (talk) 17:48, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shariba Just FYI images are not relevant to the draft approval process, which only focuses on the text and sources. That said, it is much easier if the photographer is the one to upload the image. The subject of the image does not usually have copyright unless they have a contract or legal agreement to assign them copyright. 331dot (talk) 18:07, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I assume photos uploaded to WikiCommons by the original photographer will be acceptable. I'm still working with editors on the text content. Thank you for your reply and the information. Shariba (talk) 18:19, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

18:23:11, 17 March 2022 review of draft by Niroshwanasinghe


Please help me to uplift the standard of my draft in order to meet the expected criteria of wiki. I have cited the work with almost all available sources. Almost all sources are published by Sri Lanka Air Force as its official publications. Other sources are the documents and certificates which do not fall into wiki referencing criteria. I have adjusted the language as well to meet the standard. Pleas advise me clearly on how to go about this. These details were found out as a project on this character's leadership qualities. I cannot refer to the project report since it is not published and will not be in the future too. Thank you.Niroshwanasinghe (talk) 18:23, 17 March 2022 (UTC) Niroshwanasinghe (talk) 18:23, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Niroshwanasinghe If a subject does not receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources, it doesn't merit a Wikipedia article. 331dot (talk) 18:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

21:53:25, 17 March 2022 review of submission by WMD RJA

Please can you let me know what can be done to make this acceptable to include on Wikipedia. Atlantic Money is a new company, well-financed and looking to make a difference to FX exchange. This page simply reflects details of the company so far. WMD RJA (talk) 21:53, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WMD RJA The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. New companies almost never merit articles; companies must be established and receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. Your draft is only sourced to announcements of company activities, which does not establish notability. 331dot (talk) 22:03, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

22:11:32, 17 March 2022 review of draft by L.knight9604


Our article was declined due to reference not qualifying to be notable enough. We took the feedback, replaced the references, and got declined again. Are you able to provide feedback on what references should be used or taken out so that the article can be approved? Please advise. L.knight9604 (talk) 22:11, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi L.knight9604. Please clarify what you mean by "our" and "we". The policy on Wikipedia is "one user—one account". Usernames should not be shared by multiple individuals. Are you speaking on behalf of the company? --Worldbruce (talk) 23:58, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

06:03:13, 18 March 2022 review of draft by Equyl


My draft was declined. I am asking for help to point me out what lines are problematic so i can properly form them. Equyl (talk) 06:03, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Equyl: "It reads like an essay" is not an indictment of certain lines, but of the entire text. You have no inline references, and the text indeed reads more like a research essay; the article at the very least would need a wholesale rewrite. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 19:54, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

08:58:04, 18 March 2022 review of draft by Damien74~enwiki


It seems this post has been rejected for two reasons.

The first is that it was deemed to be promotional. I basically took the format of an approved page for a similar company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raiz_(company) and then removed/changed the information to match Nucleus Wealth. There are no adjectives in the post, and so I'm struggling to find which words to remove to make it more neutral. I'm guessing maybe that the reviewer is objecting to the inclusion of awards? I included the awards because other approved pages have them, and also the awards show recognition from independent industry bodies. If the reviewer is objecting to the awards, are they objecting to any award being shown, or is it that Wikipedia does not recognise these two industry bodies?

Second, it has been rejected for the references not showing "significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I used an article that is solely about Nucleus, published in Australia's largest financial newspaper (https://www.afr.com/wealth/superannuation/nucleus-wealth-the-latest-kid-in-the-super-block-20180109-h0fh28), and awards from two different leading financial planning industry bodies. Can you comment on why these are inappropriate - i.e. are you suggesting these are not reputable sources, or is it that we haven't included enough links?

We do have plenty more links where Nucleus Wealth was used as an expert by a news organisation. For example The Australian newspaper (https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/markets/picking-the-right-time-to-reenter-the-market/news-story/c9bd304a0ab0a2957802db4672ffb529), the Guardian newspaper (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jun/10/its-not-capitalism-why-are-global-financial-markets-zooming-up), The Motley Fool (https://www.fool.com.au/2021/03/05/how-to-invest-in-inflation/), Canstar (https://www.canstar.com.au/superannuation/super-strategies-40s/), Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-csl-analysis-idUSKBN27D0ES) and many others. It seemed more relevant to use Australia's largest financial newspaper writing only about Nucleus as a source.

Thanks

Damien74~enwiki I see you declared a COI; if you work for the company, you must make the stricter paid editing declaration, a Terms of Use requirement.
Please see other stuff exists The existence of other articles has no bearing on yours; each is judged individually. It could be that these other articles are also inappropriate. 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. We can only address what we know about. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those classified as good articles.
Awards should only be mentioned if the award itself merits an article, like Academy Award or Grammy Award. Any article about your company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. Such sources do not include press releases, announcements of routine business activities, or interviews. 331dot (talk) 11:52, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Damien74~enwiki: Raiz (company) was never drafted and thus never "approved" as such. Please refer to the top table here:
None of the sources on the draft or proffered here help much. Nothing here that I am able to assess is unambiguously usable (no comment on The Australian). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 19:49, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

23:17:53, 18 March 2022 review of submission by Gryllida

Could you please check notability, this sporting group has achieved recognition on international level. If it looks okay then I will submit for review. Otherwise I will implement suggestions as per your feedback. Draft initially authored by ShayanXtreme but it had issues with plagiarism and needed to be re-written from scratch. Thank you for your time.

23:37:07, 18 March 2022 review of submission by Andylanterman

I am requesting a review of my submission for the mobile game Street Kart Racing. I'm not sure why it was denied/rejected. Please advise.


Andylanterman (talk) 23:37, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Andylanterman, find three reliable sources(reviews usually count), then take a look at this handy guide to your first article, finally take a look at some other games that have articles for what the structure of an article should look like. From there you can take another shot at submitting the article. It was declined, not rejected so the reviewer saw potential.Slywriter (talk) 00:00, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 14:19:50, 19 March 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Andylanterman


Which sources are not reliable? Every source I've listed is a direct link to the track or person's personal website. Can't get much more reliable than that.

This process is so exhausting. I change what you ask and then something else is wrong.

Andylanterman (talk) 14:19, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Andylanterman You have two references. One is a user rating site, and is of no use to you. The other seems to show that it exists. Ok, it exists. But youi have not verified notability. I exist. I am not notable. Yoiu exist. Are you notable?
We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. 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 referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 14:24, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

16:43:36, 19 March 2022 review of draft by Jhirak.camel


Hi,

I've had a draft entry declined for Blanche Brenton Carey because "it is not adequately supported by reliable sources". I have included many sources and published citations and so I'm a bit confused. Is it because there hasn't been a book written about her? There have been many published articles written by her and others about her which I've mentioned; are they not reliable sources?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you,


Jhirak.camel (talk) 16:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jhirak.camel The challenge you have is that large swathes of facts that you assert have no references. It is that simple. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 16:48, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so for example I have stated that Blanche was a missionary therefore I should add a citation to the published article, is this what you mean?

00:43:16, 20 March 2022 review of submission by BestOfTexas

I have absolutly no idea why you declined this article. Since when are bands not allowed on Wiki. The article is about an up and coming Rock n Roll band from Texas. They have a webiste, and over 100k total streams on Spotify. Why is this declined? BestOfTexas (talk) 00:43, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am a band member of Jamie's Guns. I do not need to cite how the band was formed because I am in the band. I listed our website as a source that has plenty of information about our band. I am trying to create a wiki article about us so I have no idea why you are declining this? BestOfTexas (talk) 00:47, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BestOfTexas. Your answer lies in your own description, "up and coming". That is close to synonymous with non-notable, and Wikipedia has never allowed articles about bands that are not notable. Notability is not measured by the number of streams on Spotify. It is gauged by how much the band has been written about in independent, reliable publications, such as Rolling Stone, Paste, and The Houston Chronicle. The bulk of any article should be based on such sources, not on non-independent sources such as the band's website. Finally, any source must be previously published. An editor's personal experiences or beliefs have no place on Wikipedia. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:22, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photocher (talk) 22:34, 20 March 2022 (UTC) I attempted to upload an article into my sandbox for review. That was a recommended path or wiki. On my sandbox page there was a big blue button saying "are you ready to submit an article? So I tried it. A message appeared saying I had not added references. But I have 33 references. I was not able to uploaded the article which is in Microsoft word. I am not sure how the wiki assumed I had no references. I gave the article a title and hit submit thinking the next page would allow me to upload the article. But I got a message saying it was declined because either I am too new or blocked.I have been a user since 2015 but only had a user page in March of 2022. Previously (since 2015 I have had a user name and password. I suspect some of my history is not recorded. I have read heavily on Wiki tutorials but I am still having trouble. I have worked diligently on the article and the references . But they are not in the correct wiki format. Is there anything I should do? Photocher[reply]

Hey @Photocher, it looks like you created your draft in Draft:Sandbox but submitted User:Photocher/sandbox (which is blank). In the future, please don't use the draft sandbox, as it is used by many editors and the content is replaced often. In addition, I'm not sure where the "33 sources" is coming from -- the only diff where you sourced anything is here, and there are only 2 sources there. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 23:05, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikitehedia A Wikipedia article does not just document the existence of a topic. It must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability.

Hello there,

I created the draft Dharia that was declined due to lack of notability. Now, the subject of the article was mentioned in a Billboard and an ANT1 article. There's already a page in Turkish WP: https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHARIA. So, I'd like to know what else might be required for proving notability.

(Also, she has been featured in La Maruta but I don't know if this is any good for notability.)

When I created the article Battle of Kryvyi Rih (2022), but some bot keeps redirecting it to Southern Ukraine Offensive. Can you please fix this issue and tell the person who did it to stop? Thank you.

This is not the place to deal with a content dispute with an IP editor. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 00:32, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Argument/content dispute. This is not the venue to deal with this.
There is no Battle of Kryvyi Rih mentioned by Reliable Sources. Current reports are that Russian troops are about 45 km south of Kryvy Rih. The article that was created took sources out of context. Such as an article from 9 months ago about a Ukrainian police officer from Kryvyi Rih getting killed in Donbas, the wiki page used this article to say that Ukrainian soldiers are currently getting killed in Kryvyi Rih which is some fantastic OR. Seeing as how no Reliable Sources mention a battle currently taking place in Kryvyi Rih Curbon7 made a redirect to the Southern Ukraine offensive, that got reverted by SavageBWiki. I began editting the article, I reviewed the sources cited, found no mention of an ongoing battle in Kryvyi Rih and reinserted the redirect that Curbon7 had originally placed in to the article. There will very likely be a battle in this city, but critically one has happened yet. I agree with Curbon7 that we should wait for a battle to take place before writing about one. 191.177.204.73 (talk) 00:41, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but in the article I wrote that Russian soldiers are on the outskirts of Kryvyi Rih. SavageBWiki (talk) 01:28, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my name is tyrell keysz and I need help making a page for my friend who is a producer his name is Aelo Beats. Thank You.

Tykeysz (talk) 02:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tykeysz, If and when your friend becomes famous, someone unrelated will write an article. Wikipedia is not a promotional vehicle for up and coming producers. It also requires verifiable information that comes from reliable sources, we do not care what the subject or their friends think about them. Also see conflict of interest for required declarations should reliable sources actually exist and WP:AUTO for why having a wikipedia article isn't always the best idea.Slywriter (talk) 02:39, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Vishalyoman: The Knowledge Graph pulls information from, amongst other sources, Wikipedia, and none of the information on it is verified in the slightest; we can't use it. Four out of the five sources proffered here are of unknown provenance, likely regurgitated PR; the last one isn't about Yoman, but Mirzapur Official.

10:06:49, 22 March 2022 review of submission by 193.52.24.5

I think Rithika Merchant's article deserves to be published and I don't understand her rejection. The last editor to deny publication, Hatchens, said that the topic is not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. However, contemporary artist Rithika Merchant has many articles published on the internet referring to her work. She has even worked with major brands such as Chloé and has 30.5k followers on Instagram. She is a living visual artist, objectively valid to be represented on Wikipedia. I look forward to hearing from you in order to find a solution and be able to publish her page on the platform.

If you need to use a translator to communicate with us in English, I would suggest that you should edit the version of Wikipedia that is in your primary language.

Request on 10:18:10, 22 March 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by FFaruq


Hi, I am having trouble creating a page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Afzalur_Rahman_(author)).

I have been told that the references are not good enough, but not told which ones need changing, or adding. Also, a link was added referring to the "Primary Page" for the person, but this is in face no the same person.

I'd just like a straight answer not a rejection and a link to a page of vague conditions I already thought I'd met. Please advise.

Kind regards. FFaruq (talk) 10:18, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I've just created an English page for Alexandre Antonelli. He already has a page on Swedish Wikipedia (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Antonelli) and so I have requested a translation. I hope I have done this correctly, but please let me know if not. The automated translation is not quite accurate. Can I just ask if it's quicker to wait for a translation and then edit it if necessary, or create an English page myself? Many thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks. Apologies for the incorrect terminology. I am not using an automatic translation for the new article - this just happens when I open the Swedish article.

17:38:20, 22 March 2022 review of draft by 2601:18E:8201:7B50:8E0:D88A:EFF1:2579


I would like to make one case for this draft, so if an objective editor could read on, it would be appreciated. This seems like a bizarre and seemingly personal rejection rather than an objective one. Reasons given for decline include “lack of reliable sources” - in fact, sources include The New York Times, the permanent music archives of the State University of New York, reviews from various major publication such as the Chicago Reader, a documented award from the gov’t of France, and a documented substantive publication by the legendary music publisher Edition Peters. In addition, numerous other sources are given as well as external links. There are “wiki quotes” associated with this potential entry. Nothing personal, but the rejection is laughable with respect to the above points and the reasoning. The potential entry also has removed the references to the personal website as well as the podcast in which the figure spoke of themselves with American podcaster Studs Terkel and John Cage. Please advise as to how to improve upon such “reliable” sources. This rejection does not appear to abide by Wikipedia standards of reliable sourcing. The “close connection” appears to be a dismissal of the role of a professional historian who by nature of employment is in contact with historic figures. Maybe that is too close? Someone needs to put up an entry for this individual, the relationship to careers of major American composers are well supplemented as knowledge in this manner. I’ll check for a reply later. I would especially appreciate an explanation of the primary rejection, i.e. reliable sources. I do not know what is possibly more reliable than the New York Times, university archives, independent reviews, and traditional publishers, etc. Thank you.2601:18E:8201:7B50:8E0:D88A:EFF1:2579 (talk) 17:38, 22 March 2022 (UTC) 2601:18E:8201:7B50:8E0:D88A:EFF1:2579 (talk) 17:38, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NYT makes no mention of the subject, so not sure how it would contribute to notability of the subject.Slywriter (talk) 17:54, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That’s true, I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out. The subject actually directed the entire festival as reported, as the Chicago Reader indicates, although the Times does not refer to Peter Gena. See what you think, could be removed, the source for the Chicago Reader tells the same story. Maybe I’ll remove it since the same fact is sourced in two other sources. 2601:18E:8201:7B50:8E0:D88A:EFF1:2579 (talk) 20:09, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed NYT which does not mention subject. The other two sources for the fact remain sourced in the potential article. Suggestions as to how to improve sourcing as sourced fro, the Music Archives of The State University of New York, the Chicago Reader, French Gov’t, other sources? As well as external links for reliability? What remains unreliable about these and other sources? 2601:18E:8201:7B50:8E0:D88A:EFF1:2579 (talk) 20:20, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@2601:18E:8201:7B50:8E0:D88A:EFF1:2579: I stopped after the first 10 sources all appeared to be Primary sources or passing mentions. Please identify WP:THREE sources that are independent secondary sources that discuss the subject with some depth. External Links is same issue, all Primary sources. Wikipedia wants to know what others have to say about the subject, not what they say about themselves. Additionally, running his name through google scholar showed a low cite count (though admittedly niche field), so not an obvious WP:NSCHOLAR, though perhaps meets a different criteria there. I'll take a further look tomorrow and leave comments for a future reviewer but try and find secondary sources or show that the alternative criteria is met.Slywriter (talk) 04:45, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 19:28:44, 22 March 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Andylanterman


First, let me apologize for the forwardness of this request but I would like some specific clarification on what the problem is with our article? I've continued to change or add what you say we are missing or need more of. So either I'm not adding the correct information you are requesting or there is a different issue.

Please, can someone look over this and advise on what specifically is needed? This is getting frustating.

Andylanterman (talk) 19:28, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Andylanterman: Your citations are primarily to website homepages, which are completely worthless as citations because a homepage isn't going to have the in-depth information we're looking for. You need to link to specific subpages (read: articles) on that domain. We also do not cite Wikipedia. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 20:51, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have added several reviews and articles regarding this mobile game. The "homepages" are referencing the tracks, brands or real-life people who are involved/included with the game in some way. Many other mobile app/game pages on Wikipedia have these included in them. So they are not worthless, as you put it.
Please review this article again, having taken all the above into account. Andylanterman (talk) 20:57, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Andylanterman: Then those pages need to be edited to get rid of terrible sources, rather than you adding to the pile of junk. My answer remains unchanged, and I'm sceptical the next reviewer will have an answer much different than what I've given here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 21:10, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not junk and I don't appreciate the tone you are taking here. I'm asking for help on what you all are wanting or not wanting on this page. The only term I keep reading is "sources", which I provided an abundance of, which are directly connected to the app. I've already removed almost all the "sources" and it still is denied because I don't have enough sources. Andylanterman (talk) 21:14, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your sources need to be placed directly after the content that they support, not dumped in a list at the end. Theroadislong (talk) 21:18, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Andylanterman: Please refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode, and remember: you asked for this.
Literally the only source in this entire list we can use is Touch Arcade. And one source in and of itself is not enough to justify an article on any topic on Wikipedia. So the answer is, yes, you need more sources, ones of similar nature and calibre to Touch Arcade. Not trying to make it seem notable by association with other entities. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 21:45, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are proving the subject exists with your sources. Existence is not notability. Otherwise Wikipedia would have way more than 6 million pages. and Jeske's analysis may seem harsh but its accurate.Slywriter (talk) 04:51, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
