I do not see a reason to decline my page request, it is a biography of a famous persons which is allowed on wikipedia
Makijohnson (talk) 02:18, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Makijohnson: I do - your draft's improperly sourced, both in what is being cited and how. We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every claim the article makes that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to an in-depth, non-routine, independent news or scholarly source that discusses him at length, is written by an identifiable author, and published in/by an outlet with competent editorial oversight responsible for fact-checking, disclosure, correction, and retractions that supports that claim. If no such sources can be found for a given claim, that claim must be removed. This is a hard requirement when writing about living or recently-departed people and is NOT NEGOTIABLE. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 02:35, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

08:07:38, 6 June 2022 review of submission by Johupa
Hi, it would be good to get some advice. I wanted to add an album to this category: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rough_Trade_Records_albums. The page said to create a page and put this text at bottom Category:Rough Trade Records albums. Didn't intend to make it a big deal as this was my 1st effort at a page, but got rejected for lack of "significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". So added references to detailed description in Guardian Newspaper, Performance Magazine, French magazine, academic institutions - would have thought these fit the requirements. Still rejected...anybody able to give advice - maybe I need to improve the way I've cited them or remove some of the less impressive references? Or is there a simpler way to ensure the album is listed in the category Rough_Trade_Records_albums?? Thanks in advance ! Johupa (talk) 08:07, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Johupa: categories are there to index existing articles, therefore you cannot add to a category any content that hasn't been published as an article; or, put another way, the only way to add content to a category is by first creating an article.
- And to create an article on a subject, that subject must be deemed notable, usually by way of the general notability standard, which requires significant coverage — of the subject, not of indirectly related matters — in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. Find and cite such sources, enabling the article to be created, and you can then add it to relevant categories. HTH -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:00, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick reply, you've helped clear up about categories. Re: general notability standard I did cite multiple reliable independent sources but I guess I need to find more specific examples and tidy the references up a bit. Thanks again. Johupa (talk) 09:41, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

14:49:54, 6 June 2022 review of submission by Edechiconza
- Edechiconza (talk · contribs) (TB)
We are requesting assistance because we do not really know what we do to satisfy the requests of the reviewer
Let's start from the two first sentences of the article you have suggested by the reviewer WP:Notability (academic journals)
"If an academic journal can be demonstrated to be impactful via reliable sources, we should probably have a dedicated article on it." Being indexed in DOAJ does not demonstrate the reliability and the impact of an academic journal, but being indexed in Scopus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopus) and Web of Science - Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerging_Sources_Citation_Index) yes. I do not know how familiar are you with the reliability of the academic journals but, for example, to get indexed in Scopus it takes, often, more than two years. The journal is monitored for a long period, has to undergone a severe scrutiny by scientific committees and has to respect many strict criteria. This the reason why scholars all over the world are asked to publish their works in Scopus indexed journals. Moreover Scimago Journal Ranking (SJR) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCImago_Journal_Rank) indicator is a measure of the scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where the citations come from. According to SJR Interaction Design and Architecture(s) journal is by large more influent of many of the journals listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-access_journals. Just to give you an idea, Interaction Design and Architecture(s) journal ranks as 36th in the world for the Architecture/Design domain (first quartile) and pretty well also for all other domains of interest (2nd quartile in Media Technology and Social Science - 3rd quartile for Human Computer Interaction, Computer Science applications and Education. Scopus, SJR and ESCI are the most reliable and noticeable third-party sources to legitimate the reliability and impact of an academic journal.
"Articles on academic journals are required to be notable; that is significant, interesting, or unusual enough to be worthy of notice, as established by reliable sources." Interaction Design and Architecture(s) journal, however, is not only notable but it is also unusual enough and worthy to be noticed for many reasons, here at least a couple: - most of the open access Scopus indexed journals can be considered to have a "commercial" purpose since the publisher ask the authors to pay a fee to have the submitted papers published, while Interaction Design and Architecture(s) implements the diamond route with no expenses to access and publish papers. Papers are selected only on a scientific basis, after a rigorous double blind reviewing process and a check against malpractices; - Interaction Design and Architecture(s) is one of the few (maybe no more than five) academic journals in the world that implements video presentations of the published papers (the only one in their domains of interest); of course all video are open access and available on-line.
Let's come now to the criteria listed in the same article: Criterion 1: The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area. Criterion 2: The journal is frequently cited by other reliable sources. Criterion 3: The journal is historically important in its subject area.
Criterion 1 has been fully demonstrated (see above) Criterion 2 is also fulfilled if you consider that the journal h-index is 14 (of course it could be improved but can be considered quite good for the domains of reference and in comparison to most of the open access journal (in particular those listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-access_journals). Criterium 3 should be considered in relation to the year in which the journal has been established (2005): in 17 years, thanks also to the achieved rankings can be considered quite important in the subject areas of interest (for some of them more, for some of them less; but it is well known in all domains of reference). Note that Journal age is not a consideration, and in general a recently established journal is not necessarily disqualified by its age.
Considering all that, we do really wonder if the content of the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academic_journals) is applied with equity to all wikipedia articles, in particular to those concerning open access journals and, as written before what we can in addition to improve the article and be compliant with Wikipedia rules Thanks in advance
- @Edechiconza: TL;DNR — what is your question, please, succinctly? --DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:00, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Also please can you explain who "we" is, Wikipedia user acccounts are strictly for single person use only. Theroadislong (talk) 15:28, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Basically why it has been rejected?
- I have read the suggested page and I have not found any good reason to reject the proposed articles, also in comparison with similar ones. Sorry but the reasons cannot be provided succinctly. I prefer, always, to fully justify and argue my claims, also because in this way I can better understand your suggestions.
- Sorry For the use of the plural.
- Looking forward and thanks in advance. Edechiconza (talk) 16:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- VERY weird that you use "we" throughout your question. Wikipedia summarises what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a topic, we have zero interest in what the journal says about itself. Please also see other crap exists. Theroadislong (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Edechiconza: I recommend that you not include anything in the article that can't be sourced with an independent third party source. This is how notability is demonstrated. See WP:GNG. Verified independent coverage is required. After going through that exercise, if you cannot find info, then you will understand what the reviewers are telling you. This will save you a lot of frustration with future declines. TechnoTalk (talk) 23:15, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- @TechnoTalk
- what you state is very clear to me. As already written in my original question Scopus, SJR and ESCI are the most reliable and noticeable third-party sources to legitimate the reliability and impact of an academic journal. It is not what the journal says about itself. Why they are not recognized in the case of the article on Interaction Design and Architecture(s) journal?
- It seems to me that criteria are not applied with equity for all the journal articles.
- I think that if you do not have any additional observations the article should be accepted ... but of course if you have additional indications I'll be more than happy to try to satisfy them. Edechiconza (talk) 06:02, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Edechiconza This is a volunteer project, where people do what they can when they can, we don't have a paid staff available 24/7 to immediately address all problems- as such, it is possible for other inappropriate content to get by us. This does not mean that more inappropriate content can be added, otherwise nothing could ever be removed from Wikipedia. We can only address what we know about. If you would like to help out, you can identify the other inappropriate articles you have seen for possible action.
- The statement "Interaction Design and Architecture(s) is abstracted and indexed in Scopus" merely tells us that the journal is indexed. This is not significant coverage of the subject. I can't examine this source itself, but if it says more than the fact it indexes this journal, please add that information. 331dot (talk) 06:45, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- @331dot
- thanks for the advice, I will try to make the reading clearer also for not experts (people expert in academic journal know very well that indexing coupled with SRJ and position in the rankings are enough to identify notable journals);
- I understand and appreciate very much being a volunteer (and you cannot even image how much) as I appreciate guidelines. What I appreciate less is the uneven application of the guidelines and, sometime, the hurry and shallowness with which are applied.
- I'm always ready to learn from others but I do not think that a shallow deletionism or rejection (accompanied by very generic indications without an in-depth examination of the contents of an article) can be beneficial for wikipedia.
- Thanks again. After having upgraded the text I will resubmit the article for review again.
- @DoubleGrazing
- I agree that each piece of information has its own merit in a specific context. Anyway, when the context is the same and the pieces of information belong to the same category a comparison is needed to maintain the credibility of the context. Edechiconza (talk) 15:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Edechiconza It may look like "uneven application of the guidelines" if the other articles were accepted before we had our current guidelines. 73.127.147.187 (talk) 05:46, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- the guidelines which have been referred in this case are not new ones, and as explained above they have been respected; the problem here is the expert (or not expert) evaluation of the content and the ability to suggest possible changes as is has been done by 331dot (that I thank again for);
- generic observations or statements do not help to progress and are the mirror of a rigid mentality; usually a community, to be such, should be helpful (while respecting the guidelines);
- in general when observations are made, it would be appropriate not to erect walls but to try to understand others' reasons and whether there is indeed something that needs to be improved in the procedures in use ... just my two cents. Edechiconza (talk) 07:46, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Edechiconza It may look like "uneven application of the guidelines" if the other articles were accepted before we had our current guidelines. 73.127.147.187 (talk) 05:46, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Edechiconza: firstly, the draft has not been submitted for review since the last decline. Once you click that blue button, it goes into the pool of drafts awaiting review. Whether it is then accepted or not, remains to be seen. I appreciate that you feel it should be accepted now, but that's pretty much par for the course for the article creator.
- Secondly, the notion of comparing this draft to articles already existing is a red herring. The notability of this subject is judged against the relevant guidelines, not against the standards of other articles that may be out there. In other words, the notability of this subject stands or falls on its own merits alone. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:52, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

- Jh.hamburg (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi everybody!
I need help on how can I change this article - see above - up to a point that it's fine to get published.
Yes, I understand the criticism - but score composers generally do rarely get long journalistic articles written about them - they get interviews, awards and brief mentions here and there, like most artists working in the second row behind the lime light.
Also: Somebody else has put a less informative article on the german wikipedia server, so I do not understand what is the standard here?
I added the mentioned Wikipedia article as another weblink (though it already has been included in direct reference links and footnotes).
Also to make sure about what's desired I checked the list of wikipedia's film composers here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_film_score_composers
So there are a lot of existing articles that seem to be very similar in form, content and most references. For example this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bergeaud
All these articles look like resumes - I mean that's the purpose, isn't it:
To account for these composers that you might have heard about and want to look up on Wikipedia to find out more.
To find out about the public knowledge we have about these perons and most importantly about their work. How they are connected to which films, games and projects. And yes, also awards and prices.
Personally I frequently check artists on Wikipedia to see which projects they contributed to, whether I know these projects and whether I recognize this artist's contribution.
I tried to write the article with all these examples, purposes, standards and Wiki recommendations in mind. (Well, technically I also wanted to learn to use sortable tables in an article...)
Sure, some of the sources mentioned are in German language but that can hardly be avoided - B. Salchow stems from Hamburg in northern Germany - also my city of choice.
Now I am lost. How do I proceed from here now?
Thanks for helping!

Jh.hamburg (talk) 23:25, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Jh.hamburg: German Wikipedia and English Wikipedia have different sourcing and notability standards, so what works there does not necessarily work here. In fact, the English-language Wikipedia has amongst the strictest sourcing standards (though language is not amongst them; German-language sources are perfectly OK). You also cannot use the existence, absence, or condition of other articles to justify your own (in this case, the article you point at predates AfC by a few years, having been created 2007/04/05). Finally, if "all these articles look like resumes" then all these articles need deep-sixed or heavily edited. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 01:22, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Jh.hamburg: I made some improvements to the draft, but there aren't enough sources to demonstrate notability. I don't see a single profile of the subject. For sources, you need independent third party sources. IMDB is crowdsourced and considered unreliable. Otherwise, anyone could add anything and use that to substantiate an article about themselves. And then we'd be no different than LinkedIn. See WP:GNG for the English notability guidelines. TechnoTalk (talk) 18:30, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi again!
- First of all - thanks for your input!
- Now I have created a chronological list of additional articles and interviews with and about B. Salchow by music reviewers for film and and video game scores.
- Would you mind having a look and advising me if these are sufficiantly suited to add as sources in the wiki article I wrote?

Hi
The following comment has been added to my article, and yet when I look i cannot see that there is any such redirect. Please can you advise whether you too can see the redirect to enable me to correct this.
There is a redirect from Victoria Evans to Eunice Spry, but it seems to be a mistake. That article does not mention a Victoria Evans, and there is no indication that Victoria Spry was known as Victoria Evans. So if this draft is to be accepted, the redirect should simply be tagged for G6. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:16, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Row2022: it just means that there is currently a redir at Victoria Evans which forwards to Eunice Spry, and that it could be replaced by the new article if/when accepted. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:05, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
12:33:53, 8 June 2022 review of submission by Qhamro
I am currently rewriting the contents of the page, in the current form (which has been declined) there are references which I'm trying to decide which ones are appropriate and which are not. I am a little confused on if some are considered appropriate references, for example I've referenced Companies House (reference 1 and 2) which is a British government website to prove the ownership of a company, is this something I need to do? The same question can be applied to references 4 and 8 which are links to the UK charity registry. In the "Charitable Work" section references 14-25 are mostly links to the named charity websites (some of which include the mention of Hamro Foundation as a partner) whilst these are primary sources, would they still be okay to use as they provide more information on a charity and show that the subject of the page has been involved with them? Qhamro (talk) 12:33, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Qhamro (talk) 12:33, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Qhamro: I can't immediately think of any reason why you would need to cite Companies House or Charity Commission records. As for primary sources in general, they don't contribute towards notability, therefore whether you take them out or leave them makes no difference in that respect. (I also don't think we particularly need to know what companies or charities this person is involved in, unless that information is somehow crucial, so you can probably remove all that.)
- In any case, you're going about this the wrong way: you shouldn't write what your client/boss wants to say about themselves, and then try to find sources to support that; you should be summarising what reliable, independent sources have said, which then tells you exactly what sources you need to cite — namely, the ones that you're summarising. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:06, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Request on 15:45:51, 8 June 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Liao.benny
The reason why I am reaching out is because after submitting the article, the reviewer said the sources were not reliable. These sources were published by the best 2 universities in Canada. The company I am writing about is new and not peer reviewed article has been written about it. All the sources I get are from the schools and news letter that have published the company. I don't know what else to do because I thought my sources were reliable since the University of Toronto and Queen's university are the best in canada and all the sources cited in the article came from them.
Please advise me on how I should proceed because I have tried my very very best and also consulted many people who agreed that the sources I provided should be considered reliable considering that the company is new and there haven't been any peer article written about it yet.
Liao.benny (talk) 15:45, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Liao.benny The provenance of the publishers is not the issue- it is the content. None of the sources you provide have significant coverage of the company itself. If, as you say, there are no articles written about the company yet, then it would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time and no amount of editing can change that. It's unfortunate that your company has given you an impossible task. 331dot (talk) 15:55, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

- @Liao.benny: no, what the reviewer said was that there was no significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. You're citing four sources, three of which are primary, and the one secondary one (NYT) probably doesn't provide significant coverage (I can't read it as it's behind a pay wall, but I'm going by the article title). Therefore in conclusion, only one of the sources meets the secondary requirement, but may or may not meet the significant coverage one, and in any case isn't alone enough to meet the multiple sources requirement. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:55, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

- The sources must be at once secondary, independent and reliable, and provide significant coverage; those attributes are not alternatives to each other, they must all be satisfied by a single source, for it to count towards notability. The U of Toronto, their student paper, and the Queen's U are all primary sources, and the first two of them are also too close to the subject to be truly independent. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:11, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Please also note that the draft reads like advertising eg. "Anticipating Toronto’s growing talent and it’s reputation as Canada’s fasting growing Technology hub" " primarily focuses on providing an online Marketplace" "Verxil Learning aims to help people around the world" "Verxil has accumulated over 50 unique vendors and local businesses" etc. etc. is just blatant marketing puffery and totally unsuitable in tone.

Promotion is forbidden on Wikipedia. Note that 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.

Hello there. I am trying to create a page for The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust. We are a small charity in the UK that works hard to raise awareness of ectopic pregnancy and support those who are affected by it. We work alongside many independent notable organisations who I have listed in the article, on research. We are also a founding member of Baby Loss Awareness Week in the UK, along with SANDS - who are are listed on Wikipedia.
Please can you advise what more I need to do to get our page published? I have listed many of the independent organisations that we work with - and provided the supporting documentation that shows they consider us a credible source of information. The organisations listed include the NHS, the UK Government, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Society for Reproduction and Fertility.
Please can you help? Many thanks.
Natalie EPT (talk) 06:08, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Natalie EPT: I'm sure your trust is worthy and does a lot of important work. Alas, in what comes to notability in the Wikipedia context, none of that matters (much); nor does working with notable organisations. Wikipedia only summarises what others have said about a subject, and therefore notability is defined in terms of existing coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. To warrant an article, you need to find significant coverage of your trust in newspapers, TV documentaries, radio programmes, books, etc., and this coverage must be independently produced, not based on eg. the trust's press releases or similar material. You then precis this coverage, citing the sources where it was published. Conversely, without such sources, it will not be possible to publish an article on your trust. (See WP:GNG for more info.)

20:39:20, 10 June 2022 review of submission by Bikebagel
Hello, my submission for this article was rejected on the basis that is sounds too much like an advertisement. I'm looking for clarification on what aspects in the article sounds too much like an advertisement. I kept to the information directly related to the carshare, and did not include any pricing data. I tried to follow the established article for Modo, another carshare service, which, in my opinion, sounds more like an advertisement than my draft for peg city car co-op does. There is an difficulty in writing about a company while avoiding terms that sounds like advertising. Any guidance on how to improve this article will be much appreciated!
Bikebagel (talk) 20:39, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Bikebagel It's an advertisement because it just tells about the company and its offerings. Wikipedia articles must do more. A Wikipedia article about a 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.
- As you have found, using other articles as a model is a crapshoot, as they too could be problematic. 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 classified as good articles.

- Angkynrhr You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected and will not be considered further. I see you declared a conflict of interest, if you work for this company you must make the stricter paid editing disclosure. 331dot (talk) 11:43, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- This draft was rejected, each sentence is just blatant advertising. Theroadislong (talk) 11:45, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

- What is your question, @007Ranjeet? The draft was declined several times, and finally rejected. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:23, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- but why it is rejected it is a college please guide step by step what to do how to add this. i have doing this watching other college page from my city this is a govt institute what to do next? 007Ranjeet (talk) 01:08, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- @007Ranjeet: You cite only one source, and that source is a profile (too sparse/connexion to subject). Even if that source were acceptable, one source is not enough for us to have an article on a given topic. And based on Google search results (string: ["christ college" cuttack]) there aren't really any in-depth, non-routine, independent sources about the school that are written by identifiable journalists and published in outlets with competent editorial oversight that fact-checks, discloses, corrects, and retracts that we can actually base an article off of. So the answer to "what to do next?" is "Abandon the draft for now". —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 01:49, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Page have been rejected , an i do not know how to fix it.

- There is nothing you can do, the draft was rejected and won't be considered further, for repeatedly ignoring requests to declare WP:COI, no improvement in sourcing to establish notability, and large portions of text still being unsourced. I suggest you find another topic. Theroadislong (talk) 16:03, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

- No draft specified!
Hello, I had a draft submission deleted by a reviewer https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Needlecraft_(magazine) , and that was my only copy of the text. I spent many days editing the content. Is there a way I can get a copy of it now? I wasn't aware that sentences I was citing from other internet sources could not be direct quotes but had to be rewritten in my own words.

- @Nighthawk789: As a rule admins are very uncomfortable restoring or providing anything that's a copyright violation, as it would then open Wikipedia and themselves up to legal liability. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 18:17, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

- @Ombhusal9: This draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. I have tagged it for speedy deletion as blatant advertizing and, as the subject is involved with NFTs, dropped a sanctions alert on your userpage. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 18:25, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Look, I tried my best, but it wasn't accepted. Why do you guys mean about using me sources as "legal"? Télé-Loisirs is a good source for French airdates, especially since one of the countries that produces the show is France. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 21:33, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- @BaldiBasicsFan: "Legal" is not the word I would have used, but we generally don't cite social media except to attribute quotes as such websites have no editorial oversight. And airdates are the absolute last thing you should worry about; Animation Magazine is (possibly) the only viable notability-granting source you cite. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 23:55, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Jéské Couriano: Is there an actual reliable source that has French airdates? I might add a citation needed notice on the airdates if there isn't any. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 00:16, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- @BaldiBasicsFan: Forget the airdates, focus on proving the show is notable first. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 00:22, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Jéské Couriano: Replaced the Gigglebug reference, as that could be seen as original research, that research is forbidden per WP:OR. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 02:42, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, my draft has been rejected multiple times, but I am unsure what exactly to change to improve it. If someone could offer specific recommendations, that would be very helpful. My draft is for the Eastern Mediterranean International school. Thank you.
