02:30:38, 27 April 2023 review of draft by BP0003

Hello, the name of the artist in the wikipedia draft name is misspelled- it should be Kristin Oppenheim. Can you please assist in fixing this error? Thank you.

Fixed. --bonadea contributions talk 06:50, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

02:37, 27 April 2023 review of submission by Wsjimmys

how do i make a better article about myself Wsjimmys (talk) 02:37, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wsjimmys: you should not be writing about yourself in the first place; see WP:AUTOBIO.
As for writing articles in general, you can find all the advice you need to get started at WP:YFA. The most important thing is to find reliable and independent published sources that demonstrate that the subject is notable, as otherwise there can never be an article on the subject. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:03, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

03:49, 27 April 2023 review of submission by Edna.Arhat

Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ehab_Lotayef

After reviewing Bearcat's comment on the page rejection, I have evaluated the citations used to support the content. Here is a subset of the significant coverage about the subject in reliable independent sources. All of these are mainstream news outlets, and the articles either primarily discuss the subject or he is a significant aspect of the article.

The various aspects of this individual's public life make him a notable Canadian. So I just want better guidance as to how to meet the requirement for it to be published without simply saying "If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia" as the current version has many such references.

sample list: Footnote# / link 2) https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/newsmaker-ehab-lotayef-tried-to-break-gaza-strip-blockade-1.726524 4) https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/bridge-building-on-menu-as-westmount-synagogue-hosts-shabbat-evening 10) https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canada-urged-to-condemn-egyptian-ministers-remarks-saying-critics/ 11) https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/9/25/palestinian-talks-egypt-seeks-to-regain-regional-power 12) https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/mcgill-racial-justice-board-of-governors-1.6028981 17) https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/campaign-against-quebec-s-bill-21-to-launch-1.4578007 Edna.Arhat (talk) 03:49, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Edna.Arhat: the sources you've listed here all offer only passing mentions of Lotayef, mostly where he is commenting on the subject of the article. We don't want to see what he has said, we want to see what others have said about him. Also, the first source is an interview, and interviews are essentially close primary sources as it is the subject speaking.
Also just to clarify that "various aspects of this individual's public life" is not how notability is defined in the Wikipedia context; per WP:GNG, it is defined purely as arising from significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:00, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That offers more clarity. Thank you. Edna.Arhat (talk) 13:28, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

09:19, 27 April 2023 review of submission by Rameegroupofhotels

We need to create page for group of hotels,

Please assist. Rameegroupofhotels (talk) 09:19, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Rameegroupofhotels: the first thing you need to do is to disclose your obvious COI and paid-editing status. Then, you need to change your username. Instructions for both have been posted on your user talk page. That said, you may be blocked soon, if you haven't yet been, and you are then unlikely to be allowed to post more such promotional content. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

09:56, 27 April 2023 review of submission by DevopsNepal

Could you give more insights on why this page is rejected? DevopsNepal (talk) 09:56, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Courtesy link: Draft:Bato - Road to Death
@DevopsNepal: this hasn't been rejected, only declined. The reason was lack of notability, as detailed in the decline notice. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:02, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is a movie in pre production.We have generated the imdb pages and added the media news that are available on internet which are listed in references. First trailer is going to be launched tomorrow. DevopsNepal (talk) 11:20, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@DevopsNepal: okay, and? If the launch is still almost six months away, this is almost certainly a case of TOOSOON; see WP:NFF.
Also, sounds like you may have a conflict of interest. I've posted a message on your user talk page on how to deal with that; please action it promptly.
Finally, when you say "we have generated", that implies your user account is shared. Please note that according to our T&Cs, user accounts are strictly for one person's use only. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:36, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

10:17, 27 April 2023 review of submission by Akbn24

Hello everyone, my draft was rejected with the explanatory note that the topic is "not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia". I read the linked article about notability. Here, a rather wide range of possible reasons is given why an article is not approved. Since I have not yet received any further information about what exactly is wrong with my article, I don't know what I have to change in order to meet the Wikipedia standards. I would be very grateful if you could give me some advice on how to proceed. Many thanks in advance! Akbn24 (talk) 10:17, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft was rejected, there is nothing you can do, it was blatant advertising and not notable. Theroadislong (talk) 10:46, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

11:36, 27 April 2023 review of submission by Deepc product

I am attempting to create a new page for deepc, a company in the Healthcare AI space . I have added citations from external news sources and trade publications, yet I still get a message that I don't have a third-party reliable sources. I need help getting specific feedback on why my sources (outside of the deepc company website and press releases) are not acceptable. As far as I can see, they meet all of the requirements. Deepc product (talk) 11:36, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Courtesy link: Draft:Deepc
@Deepc product: the sources cited are a mix of routine business reporting, churnalism and primary sources, none of which contribute towards notability per WP:GNG / WP:ORGCRIT. And the draft as a whole is promotional in tone and content, pretty much just WP:ADMASQ. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

11:37, 27 April 2023 review of submission by Pin.moldova

My article was declined because it was not in English, but Romanian. How can I change the language of the page, and get my article approved? Thank you! Pin.moldova (talk) 11:37, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pin.moldova: "change the language"... you mean translate it? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:44, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't just resubmit it without any improvement. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:45, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no improvement needed. The issue is a technical one, and it is about the language of the page Pin.moldova (talk) 11:47, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
”This is the English language Wikipedia; we can only accept articles written in the English language. Please provide a high-quality English language translation of your submission. Have you visited the Wikipedia home page? You can probably find a version of Wikipedia in your language.”
I need this page to be in Romanian. What are the steps? Pin.moldova (talk) 11:46, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Pin.moldova: I think we're talking at cross purposes. If you "need this page to be in Romanian", then you have to translate it; no one here is going to do that for you.
Just so we're clear, this is the English-language Wikipedia, and we can only accept content in English (as indeed you've just written there yourself). So yes, there is improvement needed, namely this material must be in English, and it isn't, therefore no matter how many times you resubmit it, it won't be accepted. HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:03, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Pin.moldova you're looking for Romanian Wikipedia, which is here: [1] -- asilvering (talk) 04:22, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maximilian Bohl (painter)

Draft:Maximilian Bohl (painter) looks dubious to me. Aside from what I write about it here, I am intrigued to read in it that "Around 1910, 27 years old Maximilian became influenced by early works of Virginia Wolf [...]". Such works would have been very early: I believe that Woolf's first book wasn't published till 1915.

However, it's my bed time (and tomorrow promises to be a long day). Over to somebody else. -- Hoary (talk) 13:00, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sources also don't stack up, and the 'photo' seems dodgy. I've declined it; happy to be proven wrong on this, of course, if someone produces some credible evidence to back it up. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:59, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Hoary: @DoubleGrazing: Maybe created as some kind of art project? See [2]. --bonadea contributions talk 14:08, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, DoubleGrazing and bonadea. (And pinging Johannes Maximilian and GoingBatty.) I further note that Adeline Virginia Stephen only became Virginia Woolf two years after the year around which our visually reconstructed fellow was, most precociously, being influenced by her works (despite comprehending nothing). A considerable effort to promote Bohl is being made (in both Szczecin and Berlin) by this fellow (Facebook link, sorry). It's all rather confusing. -- Hoary (talk) 22:52, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

13:01, 27 April 2023 review of submission by Bhdgaw,fgjhqewiuefyweo

what do i need to add???? Bhdgaw,fgjhqewiuefyweo (talk) 13:01, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bhdgaw,fgjhqewiuefyweo: If you're talking about Draft:All Mincraft mobs I rejected it because not only is it just listing the various mobs in Minecraft, but it's also an unencyclopedic topic and wouldn't pass AFD regardless. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:08, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
e/c Your draft has been rejected it is not a suitable topic for an encyclopaedia and is so poorly spelt as to be largely unintelligible. Theroadislong (talk) 13:10, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

15:53:41, 27 April 2023 review of draft by Joe minney


I started a page called “cleared hot podcast”. I meant to name it “The Coming In Hot Podcast”. How can I edit the name?

Joe minney (talk) 15:53, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not worth changing because the draft is just advertising and there is no indication of notability. Theroadislong (talk) 15:59, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Too late, moved it already! :) Yes, a bit pointless at this stage, but hey ho.
@Joe minney, it's now at Draft:Coming In Hot. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:01, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I’m an idiot 😝 Joe minney (talk) 16:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19:57, 27 April 2023 review of submission by Ajosephg

The editor refused the article saying it was a 'neologism'...but it has no neologisms in it, so I'm confused. Ajosephg (talk) 19:57, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It surprises me too. But more importantly AngusWOOF also wrote "Please discuss at the talk page for Trinity whether such an article is needed." Thank you for creating Talk:Trinity#Logical_criticisms_of_the_Trinity; now wait for responses there. -- Hoary (talk) 23:51, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It reads like an WP:XY. I haven't seen the phrase "Logic and the Trinity" in common usage before, so that's why I tagged it as a neologism. It also reads like some essay or research topic. AngusW🐶🐶F (barksniff) 01:12, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I need help in editing my article. I just need a minor help thanks. Link to my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Raimond_Magomedaliev

119.73.117.196 (talk) 05:48, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to be more specific, "minor help" doesn't tell us much.
In any case, this draft has been submitted and is awaiting review. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:54, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wait you can only get help if you don't submit the article? Apologies, I'm new to wikipedia. So I don't know the rules. Anyways could you kindly look at my article, if it isn't much trouble to you??? I just need constructive comments on where I could improve the article. 119.73.117.196 (talk) 06:00, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, you can get help at any time. But you're effectively asking us to review your article. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:50, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And, since the article has been "submitted", it will be reviewed, in due time. As DG says, the hosts here won't do a "pre-review" while the actual review is pending. It can be confusing until you get used to how things are done here... David10244 (talk) 07:57, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

07:38, 28 April 2023 review of submission by Rowbarton

Hi I am trying to submit my final edit for DoubleGrazing. I am hopeless at this. I went to 'edit' as instructed, then deleted my declined page needing amendments. pasted my new submission, showed preview, explained edit, then published but there is no submit link. Please help. I have told DG it is coming but now unable to fulfil. I am 94 so not tech minded but still have most marbles I think!!. Patrick (Rowbarton) The Fourteen of Meaux Rowbarton (talk) 07:38, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Rowbarton: Wikipedia formatting can indeed be a bit confusing, and I can only hope to be as capable as you are at the age of 94, of using whatever technology will be used in the 2060s! The references should be added in templates with curly brackets, but fear not – I'll be happy to tinker a bit with that later today, unless someone else beats me to it.
Would it be possible to add an introductory sentence or two, to summarise what the topic of the draft it?
Once you feel ready to submit it for review again, click the blue "Resubmit" button in the pink box at the top of the draft page. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 08:25, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is so kind of you Bonadea. DoubleGrazing is also looking into it and I do appreciate this help after weeks of research and frustration, at times close to giving up. I have , as you suggested, added two paragraphs at the start to lead into the subject and give clarity and I can see exactly why this was necessary. I published this just last evening. My problem is this. I have just, this minute, opened as always to this last 'in progress' edit page shown (but which is never the one I saved last!) on site which does have a RESUBMIT button but tells you to click 'edit' which takes you to another page. I did this and pasted from my word pad my revised and latest submission which is my best shot so far. I then 'Published' to save but there is no 'RE-SUBMIT" button I can see on that edit page so I selected the 'go back' arrow and am told I may lose my edits if I do. And I do - since next time around the original unedited text is still there preventing me sending my revised one!! I'm sure it's my fault but I don't think of myself as a thicko' and with everyone's kind support I am sure I will get my effort to you for appraisal eventually and, as I told DoubleGlazing I can stop sobbing and my Huguenot wife will stop beating me for my tantrums!! Thanks again. Very kind of you.. Patrick (Rowbarton) "The Fourteen of Meaux". Rowbarton (talk) 01:35, 29 April 2023 (UTC) Rowbarton (talk) 01:53, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@AtasProBaby: are you looking for a reason other than that it's pretty much incomprehensible, completely unreferenced, and with no evidence of anything even approaching notability? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:55, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

08:20, 28 April 2023 review of submission by Boaz.levin

After it was rejected several times, I revised this entry and hope it now maintains Wikipedia's editorial standards. Kevin B. Lee is an important critic and filmmaker, currently the Locarno Festival professor of the future of Cinema at Università della Svizzera italiana, whose work and reputation without a doubt merit an entry. I would hope you would assist in ensuring this entry meets Wikipedia's standards and can finally be published. Boaz.levin (talk) 08:20, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Boaz.levin: this draft has been rejected and won't therefore be considered further. If you have new sources which weren't taken into account in the latest review and wish to appeal the rejection, you need to do that with the rejecting reviewer directly. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:45, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Genxyourself: seems that you already figured out how to add those sources, so I'll assume you're okay now.
However, given what you say about your relationship with Morrell, you need to formally disclose your conflict of interest (COI); I've posted a message on your talk page with instructions on how to do that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:19, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When I'm creating the article, I don't know by that time about the already drafted article of same person.

Hello, Isukchainsingh. Your draft biography of a living person is entirely unreferenced. Please be aware that unreferenced biographies of living people are a policy violation.

@Biodam: as it says in the decline notices and comments (did you read them?), the draft is promotional, and there is no obvious notability.
Also, if you have a conflict of interest in the subject, you must disclose it. I have posted instructions on your user talk page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:45, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Biodam. Your draft is full of overtly promotional language like a household name and keeps getting massive airplay as he keeps dropping hits and the next big thing to watch out for. Promotion, advertising and marketing is not permitted on Wikipedia, and all drafts must comply with core content policies like the Neutral point of view.

13:22, 29 April 2023 review of submission by Gianoseduto

Dear NP83,

I not so recently submitted an article to Wikipedia, titled High Stone Games, which was unfortunately rejected for not meeting the notability guidelines.

I would like to request some clarifications and advice on how to improve the article and resubmit it in the future. Specifically, I would appreciate your input on the following points:

Specific reasons: Could you please provide me with specific reasons why my article was rejected? I would like to understand which aspects of the article did not meet the notability guidelines or any other criteria that may apply.

Guidance: Could you please provide me with guidance on how to improve my article to meet Wikipedia's standards? I would appreciate any specific suggestions on how to make it more notable and how to provide more reliable sources to support its claims.

@Gianoseduto: this draft has a number of issues, but they can mostly be dealt with by editing. The one problem that no amount of editing can resolve, which is the reason this was declined and then rejected, is lack of notability. To establish notability per WP:GNG, we need to see significant coverage, directly of the subject, in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. The reviewers contend that this standard has not been met.
You may enquire at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games, to see if someone is interested in collaborating with you to develop an article on this subject, but don't get your hopes up too much. In any case, even then you would need to start by finding sufficient sources to satisfy the GNG notability requirement. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:34, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

15:54, 29 April 2023 review of submission by Inchwiki

The draft was declined because it did not meet the Wiki standard for inline citations. I agree more inline citations could be useful, but the Wiki page on minimal standards for inline citations mentions 4 types of statement which require inline citation. As far as I can see the article does not contain any statements of those kinds. So some clarification here would be useful. Inchwiki (talk) 15:54, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Inchwiki: you may be right in saying that you don't strictly speaking have to add more inline citations (although the 'likely to be challenged' situation is pretty open-ended, and could well apply here), but IMHO they are the gold standard of referencing and should really be used at all times. Is there any reason why you don't want to add more of them?
The reason why many reviewers (among others) prefer inline citations is that they make it very clear where the information comes from, ie. which source has provided which bit of content, and how much of the content remains unsupported. You would be greatly assisting in this if you provided inline citations throughout.
Or put it this way: there are several paragraphs without a single citation. From where did you get all that information? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:07, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, My draft for the National Dong Hwa University College of Science and Engineering contains numerous references, including information on World's Top 2% Scientists, China Subject Ratings 2021, and World University Rankings 2022 by subject: computer science, which are all well-known in the field. What can I do to ensure that my draft is published as a formal article? Thank you for your attention. 林儀承 (talk) 02:47, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Courtesy link: Draft:National Dong Hwa University College of Science and Engineering
@林儀承: in order for this draft to have any chance of being accepted, you need to demonstrate that it is notable per WP:GNG, which requires significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. So far there seem to be no such sources cited.
Note that while universities typically are notable, individual departments, faculties, schools, colleges, etc. seldom are. Which may be why the declining reviewer suggested that this information (or at least salient points of it, as there is far too much detail here) be added to the article on the university itself. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:49, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

03:35, 30 April 2023 review of submission by JackW2016

I found multiple link resources about Simo Idrissi and need to add them the other thing, Simo Idrissi is a writer and has public links to his research and articles. I still don't know the maximum number of resources needed to make this article follow Wikipedia regulations. Thanks JackW2016 (talk) 03:35, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@JackW2016: this draft has been rejected already; if you wish new sources or other evidence of notability to be considered, you must take the matter up with the rejecting reviewer. Beware, though: I had a quick look at the sources cited, and couldn't find anything there that would seem to contribute to WP:GNG notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:41, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A few days ago, I added a few sources to an article about Simo Idrissi. These sources are legitimate. Friends from Wikipedia helped me answer my questions and said that resources should contain the name of Simo. That is exactly what I am doing. Now, I have a few questions:
  1. What is the maximum number of resources that an article can have?
  2. Can I create a new article about the same person when I have all the links available?
  3. Simo Idrissi is not my friend and he doesn’t know me, but I know what he is doing as a public figure and soccer coach. I like to write about these people and I have more people to write about, but I am still learning the process. How can I revise Simo Idrissi’s article and have it accepted?
Hope you understand me.

Hi, I dont understand how and why this isn't approved.. the magazine is like others and even does more collaborations.. i am new to this so please do tell me what else needed to get it approved since I looked at other articles and i dont know what else to do... thank you! Raves2023 (talk) 10:39, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Raves2023: as it says in the last few decline notices, the draft was declined because it was/is promotional. I can see that you have subsequently made changes to it and resubmitted for another review, so you will get another assessment when a reviewer gets around to evaluating it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:35, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello dear @DoubleGrazing, it was declined again and I am not sure why.. I dee the reason but how can this be? other than the fact there are articles on other magazines and including the fact this magazine is read by many many many people.. what can I do? Raves2023 (talk) 06:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Raves2023: it wasn't declined again, it was actually rejected this time, meaning you can no longer submit it. Whether there are "articles on other magazines" (on which point, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS), or "this magazine is ready by many many many people" or "does more collaborations", etc., none of that matters; we assess notability, which is a core requirement for inclusion in Wikipedia, according to the applicable policies and guidelines, and this subject has apparently not satisfied those. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:26, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Regal venator Wikipedia is a lagging indicator, meaning in-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources must already exist for a topic so a "struggling" actor will not warrant an article. This is the reason is was rejected so will not longer be considered at this time. However, a draft can proposed in the future should the actor gain such coverage which is generally after they have had several significant roles in notable works.

As a long-time wikipedia editor, with no connections to the subject of this article, but a commitment to Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, I ran across this draft on Joan Sullivan Garrett. It is clear to me that the subject is quite notable. I've trimmed it down to 2/3 the size and I've tried to overcome the promotional aspects of the article and the fact that the original editor had an undisclosed connection. I would like someone else to agree that it is now worthy of promotion to article status where further editing can take place as normal, or point out additional aspects that need attention. Thanks in advance! ★NealMcB★ (talk) 20:11, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nealmcb what you are asking for is a pre-review which we generally do not do. Given you are autoconfirmed you can simply move the draft to article space. Outside of non-autoconfirmed or COI/Paid editors (or some type of ban), there is no obligation for a draft to go through AfC even if previously declined. If you choose to go through AfC, submit it then I suggest placing a note on the talk page with the WP:THREE sources that meet notability. If you do that, let me know (ping me here or note at my talk page) and I will place an AfC comment letting reviewers know to look at the talk page. S0091 (talk) 20:49, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

JackW2016 (talk) 23:37, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @JackW2016 it is not the number of sources; it is the quality and depth coverage. Sources need meet all four of the following criteria to establish notability: be secondary (not primary), be reliable, provide in-depth coverage about the subject and the content within the sources must be entirely independent (not what the subject says such as interviews, etc.). The draft has now been rejected twice so will no longer be considered so no, you should not create another draft. If you wish to create a draft on different subject, in addition to the above read Your first article. S0091 (talk) 23:29, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to wikipedia and i don't know how to wright a article Natsu Misikava (talk) 07:04, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Natsu Misikava: you should be able to find everything you need at WP:YFA.
However, the first thing you need to do before you start writing anything is determine if your intended subject is notable. Usually this is done by reference to the WP:GNG notability standard, which requires significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. If you cannot find such sources, then there is no point in even starting a draft. If you can find sufficient sources that meet the GNG standard, then essentially you write your draft by summarising (in your own words) what those sources have said.
Actually, the very first thing you need to do is disclose any interest you may have in your chosen subject. I will post a message on your talk page with more info on this. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to publish my article about the first Uzbek technology company, which produces computer software, games and other digital products. But moderators think that I am publishing an advertising, which only promotes a company. Why? There is no any links to products, which I might advertise. Lesterleexxx (talk) 10:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lesterleexxx:
Firstly, because this is advertising; see WP:YESPROMO.
Secondly, there is not even the slightest suggestion of any notability, which is a hard requirement for any article to be accepted into Wikipedia.
Thirdly, because you have a conflict of interest, as stated on your user page, yet you have not made a formal disclosure. For this reason you are also not allowed to publish anything directly (and this includes moving from drafts into the main article space) on a subject where you have a COI.
And fourthly, because you keep recreating the same content over and over again, which is WP:TENDENTIOUS. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:10, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cseedi: 'association' with anything does not confer notability; also, the sources cited are pretty rubbish, if I'm honest.

Hi, I'm trying to get some help with this article. I found a page on Companies based in Hampshire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Companies_based_in_Hampshire, and wanted to add Intrafocus to the list. I then looked at the format of three companies in the list and copied the one for Kenwood Limited. I substituted the content with content from Intrafocus Limited and submitted the article, which was rejected. I'm not too surprised, but I hoped for some more constructive help rather than what appeared to be a boilerplate response. Is there anyone who can help me construct a more informative page? Many thanks. CliveKeyte (talk) 14:52, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CliveKeyte: the draft is promotional, poorly referenced, and has no indication of any notability.
Also, you clearly have a conflict of interest; I will post a message on your talk page on how to address this. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Probably also worth explaining that you shouldn't model your draft after existing articles, but rather by reference to the policies and guidelines applicable; otherwise you may simply replicate errors which exist in the articles that you try to mimic. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:14, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CliveKeyte I don't understand this part: "Strategy Workshops based the Balanced Scorecard in association with the Strategy Management Group,.[1], and The George Washington University". What is the "balanced scorecard"? What is KPI? What are SMEs? There should not be an "author disclosure" within the article; your WP:COI (or, more appropriate, WP:PAID) declaration belongs on your user page.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


I understand that Wikipedia's policy on advertising is strict, and I have taken care to remove any language that could be seen as promotional (see Revision History). As it currently stands, the content is purely factual and includes references from reliable sources to support all of the information presented. It was for these reasons that I submitted the article without changes. Unfortunately, it was declined again on the same advertorial grounds and without any specific examples from within the article. I believe the article meets all Wikipedia standards, and respectfully request that it be reconsidered for acceptance. If concerns are present, I would be happy to address any specific examples identified and make the necessary changes. Thank you for your consideration.

"You have consistently ignored all advice given to you so far..."
Overall I respectfully disagree, but genuinely want to understand your point of view. From my point of view, when I consider the Review History, I see many revisions based on advice:
- 02/28/23 - "Removed the "software platform" section to help avoid misinterpretation of the app's operation as promotional or advertorial."
- 03/01/23 - "Removed [Partnerships] section per previous reviewer's recommendation. Removed numerical values that may be misconstrued as promotional. Reduced source-per-statement count for readability."
- 03/15/23 - "Removed all partnerships. Added reputable sources including but not limited to; Daily News (Los Angeles), KIRO 7 News Seattle, Seattle Business Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Seattle Times, and Chicago Tribune."
As stated in my previous comment, I do admit that I submitted without changes later on, but this was because there was no explanation or examples provided, and the article content had already been boiled down to clear, factual statements based on reliable sources rather than unfounded opinions.

Hi @Waynepua rely on secondary sources that are independent of what the those affiliated with subject have written about the company. For example, if the information is coming from those affiliated such as interviews, press releases/announcements, etc. where the content of the source, even if the source is a third-party, is a regurgitation of what the company/reps say then lean to not include it. However, if is truly independent content where the author/publication (given is it is a reliable source), has done their own analysis, research, etc. then summarize what they say.
