12:13:41, 20 February 2023 review of submission by Cfr1980
Our Company Sekkingstad AS is a 100 year old Seafood Company from Norway, now in the business of processing and distribution of salmon and trout. Our market is worldwide. We would like to establish our existence and history on Wikipedia, just like Lerøy has done: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ler%C3%B8y. Why are we denied the opportunity, and how can we do to be allowed to be on wikipedia in the same way as them, or for example Austevoll Seafood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austevoll_Seafood ?
Cfr1980 (talk) 12:13, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Cfr1980 please see WP:PAID as you need to declare your affiliation with the company. I will leave some additional information on your talk page. As for the draft, thoroughly read WP:NCORP for the notability and sourcing requirements. You have resubmitted the draft so another reviewer will take a look but it will likely be declined again as the sources do not meet the requirements. S0091 (talk) 15:55, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

- Rudolf.Fernandes (talk · contribs) (TB)
I've added a section, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoxidil#Low_dose_oral_treatment. A user, Whywhenwhohow, removed it citing, "The information is based on a primary source and is not WP:MEDRS, WP:MEDMOS". I disagree with their assessment (while there is a primary source, there are other peer-reviewed sources as well).
I've tried reaching out to them to explain, point by point, why I think their assessment is incorrect but either my message did not reach or they've ignored it. So, as things stand, we just keep undoing each other's edits... which is ridiculous.
How do I establish one-on-one contact with Whywhenwhohow?
Rudolf.Fernandes (talk) 12:41, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi,
If I could get a little more detailed feedback on this article that would be great.
Thank you!
Dankore23 (talk) 13:06, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Dankore23 IMDB is not a reliable source so should not be used. The other two sources are trivial coverage and most of the content is unsourced. Please read through all the material linked in the decline notice. S0091 (talk) 16:08, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Request on 13:33:01, 20 February 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Chomaniii
Dear Wikipedia Editors,
I am writing to appeal the rejection of my article for publication on Wikipedia. I understand that my article was rejected due to a lack of references, and I would like to inform you that I have since added a government reference to my article.
I believe that my article is very reliable, and all the references I have provided are also reliable. I have worked diligently to ensure that my article adheres to Wikipedia's guidelines, and I am confident that it meets the notability criteria.
I kindly request that you reconsider my article for publication on Wikipedia. I believe that it provides valuable and informative content for readers, and I am committed to working with other editors to improve and refine the article further.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, Muhammad Ali Chomani

I am LordVoldemort728. I am also an Articles for Creation Reviewer. @User:InterstellarGamer12321 declined Draft:Puttanna and wrote "The existing references do not indicate that the article is particularly notable. The article needs to be expanded significantly using reliable, independent sources with significant coverage of the subject." but he/she is 100% wrong. The article doesn't passes WP:GNG but passes WP:NPOL because he has been member and deputy chairperson of legislative bodies at sub national level.

- @LordVoldemort728: The draft still needs to be expanded significantly before it is suitable for mainspace. If the subject passes WP:NPOL, then there should be several independent references with significant coverage on him that could be used to expand the article. Declining a draft is not permanent: just expand it and resubmit for review. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 15:46, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- @InterstellarGamer12321 Wikipedia:NPOL doesn't say that for passing notability guidelines "there should be several independent references with significant coverage on him".

- He's notable as a member of a subnational legislature, but there still needs to be something in the article beyond "he got the position". Some biographical information about him, just a little bit, would help immensely, I think. 331dot (talk) 16:44, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

20:32:16, 20 February 2023 review of draft by Kikima
Hi, I need help with my first article. It is declined the first time through. I changed the references and sources and hoping I did it correct this time. I think it is pretty okay, but cannot make sure. I need an independent editor to look over and make necessary adjustments to make sure everything is good before submitting. Thank you!
Kikima (talk) 20:32, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Kikima it is very unlikely other editors will make adjustments to the draft so it is largely on you to do so. I will say you need cite the sources appropriately using in-line citations, which is required for WP:BLPs and much of the content is unsourced so that needs to be rectified. It is also unclear how she meets the the notability guidelines. Also for it to be reviewed, you need to submit it. Reviewers generally do not do "pre-reviews" given there are already over 2,500 submitted drafts pending review. S0091 (talk) 20:44, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Request on 22:52:22, 20 February 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Miekfin
The article was declined due to a lack of secondary sources.
Vladimir Baranov and Scott Tanner are scientists, not public figures, so coverage of their academic achievements are not well documented by the general press.
For the Manning Award, the primary source was the Manning Website, and the secondary source The Globe and Mail Newspaper article that mentions both of them. Not great but I could not find any other source for this 2001 Award.
For the HUPO Award the primary source was the HUPO website, and the secondary source Bloomberg.com. Again, not great. But again, scientific achievements are not covered well by the press.
His inventions, the Dynamic Reaction Cell and Mass Cytometry have their own Wikipedia pages at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision/reaction_cell and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_cytometry
I am at a dead end. I cannot find any other secondary sources and thus cannot get past the Wikipedia Notability test despite his work/inventions being cited/published on Wikipedia.
Do you have any recommendations that would get this article published?
Regards,
Mike Finczak
Miekfin (talk) 22:52, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Miekfin take a look at the notability guidelines for academics. I think there may be an argument he meets that bar. I suggest resubmitting with a note a draft's talk page (Draft talk:Vladimir Baranov) how he meets one of the criteria. Be concise, though (i.e. he meets #8 because....).

00:14:56, 22 February 2023 review of draft by ConsKrypt
Hello, my article for the new interim coach for Brisbane Roar FC has been declined due to references not being suffice,
I was wondering how they are not suffice as it includes an official statement from the football club themselves addressing the proof of the information to be correct.
The page in question is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Nick_Green_(Interim_Coach) that has been declined. This is my first wiki submission in terms of a new entry rather than small edits/corrections to existing articles.
I am looking for tips as to how to help with the article being accepted to reduce the amount of 'red links' on Wikipedia. Thank you for taking the time to read this help request. ConsKrypt (talk) 00:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
ConsKrypt (talk) 00:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @ConsKrypt, the club is a primary source. What you need are secondary reliable sources, unconnected to the club and Green that have written in-depth about Green (not interviews or what they say themselves). Read through the links in the decline message. S0091 (talk) 15:05, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I was wondering why my draft submission was rejected, when a similar article (Emily Geach) has been accepted? The same type of sources were used for both articles.Spal07 (talk) 10:17, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Spal07 (talk) 10:17, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Spal07 That another article exists does not necessarily mean that it was approved or accepted by anyone; there are numerous ways for inappropriate content to get past us, see other stuff exists. It could be that this other article has similar problems as your draft and you wouldn't be aware of this. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those classified as good articles, which have been vetted by the community.

- AustinSpotter (talk · contribs) (TB)
I feel like this Hotel deserves a page. The Convention Center Hotel in Portland Oregon for example, which is also a Hyatt Regency has a page so why can't this? Many hotels have their own page and this hotel is one of the largest in Utah and it definitely deserves a page. What harm is it doing by having its own page? AustinSpotter (talk) 16:57, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- AustinSpotter Wikipedia has articles, not pages. This is not a database of hotels, this is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, called notability. You have no independent reliable sources to support the content of the article. To merit an article, you must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the hotel, showing how it meets the definition of notability. "Largest hotel in Utah" might work, but you must have independent sources to summarize. 331dot (talk) 17:52, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Please see other stuff exists. The existence of other articles has no bearing on this. A large convention center often receives coverage as it hosts events. 331dot (talk) 17:54, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry for this, but the Portland Hyatt Regency is smaller than the SLC Hyatt Regency and yet both are attached to huge convention centers and the SLC Regency is a part of a larger convention center than the Portland one but somehow the Portland one deserves a page and not the SLC one... The SLC convension center has 515,000 sq ft of convention space and Portland only has around 250,000 sq ft... Just saying your reasoning doesn't make sense when the Portland once exists also. I can find a better source but I feel like the SLC Hyatt Regency deserves a page. AustinSpotter (talk) 19:26, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- You continue to miss the point, it may qualify for an article but the onus is on you to prove it meets our inclusion criteria of Wikipedia:Notability through proper sourcing. Doubling down and fixating Other stuff exists type arguments, will only lead to more frustration for you. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 19:40, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- AustinSpotter (ec) Perhaps the Portland one should be deleted, I don't know, which is why each article or draft is considered on its own merits. As I said, you have no independent sources in the draft. The one source you do have is a press release from Hyatt, which is not an independent source. 331dot (talk) 19:45, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

The SLC convension center has 515,000 sq ft of convention space and Portland only has around 250,000 sq ft... Just saying your reasoning doesn't make sense when the Portland once exists also. I can find a better source but I feel like the SLC Hyatt Regency deserves a page. AustinSpotter (talk) 19:26, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

I do not understand why my article has been rejected. The only way to get a new thing in science widely accepted among the growing population is to put it out there for people to discover. Even if it seems unrealistic, there is nothing untrue about the lockhart as it was invented under the same circumstances as widely used units such as the newton and the volt. Thank you for your time.
FYI it was not I who invented the lockhart so it is not biased at all 2A02:C7E:3AC6:4100:AD06:A3D7:6663:9847 (talk) 20:51, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

- IP user, Wikipedia does not lead, it follows- only when a subject is out there, discussed by independent reliable sources who choose on their own to discuss it, can a subject then merit a Wikipedia article. You should use social media or a personal website to spread the word about this. 331dot (talk) 21:00, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Also, there's at least one grammar error... plus this: "In SI base units, 1 lockhart = 1 m^2s^-3, or 1 meter squared per second cubed". Minus 3 is not "cubed". David10244 (talk) 05:39, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

14:44:10, 24 February 2023 review of draft by Lexonic
Hi
I've submitted this page a couple of times with additional references, but unsure where to go next.
Max is an experienced character actor with a significant body of work and multiple external validations of his recognition on industry, fan and social forums.
His profile has grown recently having been appeared in the House of the Dragon and I was surprised to see that he did not have a page already (as there are multiple references to him on other Wikipedia pages and on Wikidata Commons).
Is this being rejected because of my disclosed conflict of interest? I've tried to be as objective and factual as possible.
Look forward to any advice on how to proceed!
Lex

- We prefer the term "article" and not "page" to refer to the content of the encyclopedia. The sources you have offered are not appropriate for establishing notability; we need independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the topic. Please see the message left by the reviewer. 331dot (talk) 15:43, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response. Noted regarding the correct terminology. I've read the page on sources and thought that those I referenced would be considered sufficiently authoritative. It's not clear to me what the criteria for notability are for actors/performers. The subject of the article has featured in major movies and TV programmes. Is there a better way to link to the media he has featured in as a reliable source? Lexonic (talk) 16:56, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- The definition of a notable actor is written at WP:NACTOR. Linking to the media he has been in is not the issue, there must be independent reliable sources that give him significant coverage- not just merely documenting what he has done. 331dot (talk) 21:56, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

The last comment the draft received relates to the fact that the GM Ringway is in its early planning stages. Rather than losing the draft article altogether, is there a way to save it from deletion until the subject is 'live'? Many thanks.

- It was deleted here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ghazal Saremi for failing WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR, your new draft did not improve on the first one. Other countries have very less strict inclusion guidelines too. Theroadislong (talk) 22:04, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Ehsancdn each Wikipedia language is its own project with its own rules and guidelines so an article acceptable on one language may not be acceptable on another and the English Wikipedia, as Theroadislong states, tends to more strict. Read through all the material linked in the decline notice. S0091 (talk) 22:07, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- I just mean that if playing as an actress and having lots of websites and news sources talking about someone can't prove that the person is notable, then what else can?
- Tell me what things should I fix exactly so that the article can be approved? Please Ehsancdn Ehsancdn (talk) 23:07, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Respected Person, i apply for re-review for Madhyanchal Professional University.
why my article rejected?
you can cheack and review university page article in this list. some of the university have poor content but there is live but not my article rejected. List of institutions of higher education in Madhya Pradesh Shyamalogic (talk) 05:31, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Shyamalogic We don't need the whole url when you wish to link to another page on Wikipedia, simply place the title of the target article or page in double brackets like this: [[Joe Biden]].
- Regarding your question, other poor articles existing is not a reason to add more poor articles. See other stuff exists. 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, in many ways. We can only address what we know about. That an article exists does not mean that it was approved by anyone. If you want to use other articles as a model or guide, use those classified as good articles, which have been vetted by the community. If you would like to help us out, you are welcome to work to identify other articles that do not meet the criteria so we can take action. This is the end of the line for your draft, though, and you will need to move on. 331dot (talk) 15:57, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Dear Wiki Editor: I summitted this question four days ago and have and no response so I am trying again.
I submitted my Los Pleneros la 21 draft article on Jan 14, 2023. I realize it may take several months for the review, but I just want to confirm that I have done everything I need to do in order to insure that the draft has been correctly submitted and at this point there is nothing else that I need to do. I am concerned that I have not done something right in the submission process and my draft article is not in the queue for review. Please advise and thanks, raylaur15
- Hi Raylaur15 I took a quick look at the draft, it is correctly submitted and awaiting review. While I was there I fixed a minority error - there should never be a heading above the lead. I unfortunately do not consider myself qualified to evaluate the draft, so I have not done a review. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:57, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Good morning,
I have just logged into see if there were any updates on the draft I submitted on Sagar Kamble and see that it has been rejected, this is the first time I have attempted to set up a wiki page. Are you able to tell me why it's been rejected and what I can do to get it accepted?
Many thanks, Jo
Keohaj01 (talk) 07:48, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keohaj01 The term "article" and not "page" is preferred when referring to the content of the encyclopedia(or potential content). I assume this is about Draft:Sagar Kamble. The reviewer left the reason for the rejection at the top of the draft; please review it and the policies linked to therein.

There are also special rules for editing about cryptocurrency related topics, I will notify you of these on your user talk page.
- Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something and what it does or what its offerings are.
