12:40, 29 October 2023 review of submission by Moonotth

Why it cannot be posted? Moonotth (talk) 12:40, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Moonotth: because this is not a valid draft for an encyclopaedia article, it is a series of very long lists of bullet points, with insufficient referencing. You may be able to draft an acceptable article about this topic, but this wasn't it. Please see WP:YFA and WP:REFB for advice on article creation and referencing, respectively. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:44, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, the article needs to be reformatted as it appears to be a few long run-on paragraphs. @DoubleGrazingis the expert though. JoeK2033 (talk) 21:41, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

13:16, 29 October 2023 review of submission by Tonny Graphix

Hello, My submission has been rejected, I want to know what the problem is Tonny Graphix (talk) 13:16, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Tonny Graphix. Why did you completely ignore my previous two declines where I told you your draft was written in a completely inappropriate way for Wikipedia?
In any case, there is zero evidence you meet our special definition of a notable person, the criteria is at [WP:GNG]]. Qcne (talk) 13:23, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Tonny Graphix Can I view the draft? Could I improve it by after finding reliable sources? JoeK2033 (talk) 21:44, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was deleted as advertising. Perhaps it could be rewritten from scratch. But what was there looked autobiographical material that would not have sources to support the statements. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:10, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

13:18, 29 October 2023 review of submission by 5.122.222.159

سلام مشکل مقاله من چی است که شما رد کرده اید؟ 5.122.222.159 (talk) 13:18, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft was completely unsourced and was not in English. There is no evidence of notability under WP:GNG. Qcne (talk) 13:22, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree on this 100%. JoeK2033 (talk) 21:45, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

13:34, 29 October 2023 review of submission by Sidhxyz

JUST I WANT TO PUBLISH MY ARTICLE Sidhxyz (talk) 13:34, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sidhxyz I fixed your link, you need the "Draft:" included. Your draft was rejected and will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not the place for people to tell the world about themselves, please read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 13:39, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is written in the first-person point of view without any sources, making it unfit for publishing.@Sidhxyz, Good call @331dot. JoeK2033 (talk) 21:47, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

18:38, 29 October 2023 review of submission by 50.187.77.85

My article was rejected because of the references not being good enough but I'm unclear as to why. 50.187.77.85 (talk) 18:38, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP editor. Your draft was only declined, not rejected. Articles about movies must pass our special notability criteria which you can find at WP:GNG. You have two sources: IMDb is unreliable so cannot be used to establish notability. dmtalkies works as a source, but we'd need more than one source to establish notability. Qcne (talk) 18:44, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Qcne IMDb is not reliable as a source because it can be edited, yes. However, this article could qualify because it's well-written and international, so the chance that the NYT or Wall Street Journal will cover it is low. JoeK2033 (talk) 21:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

21:38, 29 October 2023 review of submission by JoeK2033

What do you mean when you say this? Thanks! JoeK2033 (talk) 21:38, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It means just what it says. Your draft is wholly inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. 331dot (talk) 21:43, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm so sorry! I didn't see the reference text. That is entirely inappropriate. Thank you for flagging this. @331dot JoeK2033 (talk) 21:55, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

21:49, 29 October 2023 review of submission by Astroscobee

Hello Guys,

Jenna Kerr is appearing on Ink Master (Season 15) please check Ink Masters Wiki as well as website.... There is much about this artist that needs to be documented here on Wikipedia, open for some help here.

Thank you Astro Astroscobee (talk) 21:49, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User-generated content such as wikis, including Wikipedia, are not reliable sources so should not be used and the same for commercial site that sell products (worldfamoustattooink.com, really?). Being on a television show in and of itself does equate to notability as Wikipedia defines it. Interviews/her comments are primary sources so cannot be used to establish notability, regardless of the source that publishes it. There is nothing in the draft that suggests Kerr can meet the notability, as talented as she may be. S0091 (talk) 22:07, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

22:49, 29 October 2023 review of submission by FoxtrotAzad

Dear Sir / Madam

I have made changes and updates on the article based on verified websites and news links. Need you to reconsider the article publication. Appreciate if you can assist. FoxtrotAzad (talk) 22:49, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not a place to post a resume or a list of accomplishments; we need to know what independent reliable sources consider to be notable as defined by Wikipedia about this person, not merely what their accomplishments are. 331dot (talk) 07:30, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

00:54, 30 October 2023 review of submission by Wickkey

I need help getting Louis Boasberg approved, please help me, thanks. Wickkey (talk) 00:54, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What specific help are you looking for? 331dot (talk) 07:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Findagrave and ancestry.com are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 11:55, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

06:00, 30 October 2023 review of submission by TrainFreak125

My article was declined for "lack of reliable sources", most of the article was translated from the Japanese version of the article, which does not contain many sources, should I remove these sections or find reliable sources for them? Or can I reference the Japanese version of the page (probably not)? Which sections of my article do need additional sources? TrainFreak125 (talk) 06:00, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please know that what is acceptable on the Japanese Wikipedia is not necessarily acceptable here- each Wikipedia is independent, with their own editors and policies. The English Wikipedia tends to be stricter than others.
The solar panels part is unsourced, but overall you need sources that provide more significant coverage of this defunct theme park than you have now. If these don't exist, it may not merit an article on the English Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 07:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why you reject me Bestkitchenettes (talk) 11:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

11:56, 30 October 2023 review of submission by 102.220.41.253

I need support on how to create referece string 102.220.41.253 (talk) 11:56, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:REFB. Your references should be within the text, where the citation numbers are to appear. The software will display them in the References section. And you don't have to use citation templates such as {{cite book}} (though personally, I strongly recommend that you do); but if you don't use such templates then there is nothing to interpret the "parameter=value" syntax that you have used.
Also 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. This means, for example, that unless an independent commentator has specifically discussed an organisation's "vision", the vision does not belong anywhere in a Wikipedia article about the organisation. ColinFine (talk) 12:07, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

12:56, 30 October 2023 review of submission by Dkoltorcan

Hello, I just saw that the article was refused again. I really would like to make edits that would be approved. Can you please guide me on what I should remove? All the sources are legit and there are no unclaimed sources, everything is about Bernhard Ruchti's work so I don't really know what to do here... Thank you for your help. Also, I never received the notification that the article was rejected, I don't know why... Anyway. Any help would be appreciated. I am writing this article on M. Ruchti's behalf and I have been rejected twice already so it is difficult for me to understand what to do, knowing the time between the submission and the approval. Thank you, Dkoltorcan Dkoltorcan (talk) 12:56, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @Dkoltorcan. Firstly you need to make a conflict of interest declaration by following the instructions at WP:COI. If you are being financially compensated by M Ruchti in any way you must also make a paid editing disclosure by following the instructions at WP:PAID. Failure to do either of these is a breach of the Wikimedia Term and Conditions and may result in your account being blocked from editing.
Let me know when you've done that (either COI or both COI and PAID), and then we can look at the draft. Qcne (talk) 13:01, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not financially compensated. I just find his work interesting and would really much like to see him on Wikipedia. I have worked with him several times as a musician and find that he should be in Wikipedia, that's all. Dkoltorcan (talk) 13:03, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dkoltorcan: there is unreferenced content in the draft, starting with the DOB. In articles on living people, pretty much everything must be referenced.
The reason why you didn't get the decline notification is that this goes to the editor submitting the draft, and this was submitted the second time from an IP address.
You must make a conflict-of-interest disclosure, given what you say about writing this on the subject's behalf. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:03, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I already stated twice, there is no conflict-of-interest, I am an individual editing this article without compensation. I just find that his story should ne published on Wikipedia, and I am talking about it. I am not being paid. I just contribute to general knowledge, Dkoltorcan (talk) 13:09, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dkoltorcan: being compensated is a special type of COI, but not the only one. If you have an external relationship with the subject, which is how I interpret your statements above, you almost certainly have a COI, and need to disclose it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:11, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I understand. So what should I indicate? That I am not paid by the person and that I don't know him except that I performed with him as a colleague? Also regarding the DOB, I don't understand. This is his date of birth. When I look at other articles, there is nothing that proves the DOB. What should I do? Thank you Dkoltorcan (talk) 13:13, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just reviewed the list of COI (Wikipedia:Conflict of interest) and I don't find anything that corresponds to my scenario... Dkoltorcan (talk) 13:17, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dkoltorcan: alright, only you can know what, if anything, your relationship is. I was merely going by your statement that "I am writing this article on M. Ruchti's behalf", which sounded to me like he had asked or instructed you to write this.
Per our guideline WP:BLP, articles on living people have strict referencing requirements due to privacy etc. reasons. DOB is something that many people are sensitive about being released into the public domain, and for that reason Wikipedia articles must not include it unless it has already been reported previously, and even then it can only be included if supported by a reliable published source. If you cannot find such a source to support the DOB, then it must be removed. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:22, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks noted. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am not writing writing this "on behalf of" but write on his work. So I can proceed with the edits now? I will try to find a source about his DOB. Should I quote his website? Dkoltorcan (talk) 13:24, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, basic facts like DOBs can be sourced from the subject's own website or other primary sources. Qcne (talk) 13:26, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for letting us know about the lack of COI. We have to be careful with these things. Taking a look at your draft, here are some issues:
- The essay was the beginning of a lifelong interpretive and musicological exploration of the subject. a little break of the WP:NPOV guidelines. The Wikipedia voice should not make assertations unless paraphrasing a source
- As of 2017, Ruchti is increasingly appearing as a pianist. In 2018, he began his "A Tempo Project". unsourced
- In 2017 he was awarded by the city of St. Gallen with the Förderpreis Kultur. unsourced
- Starting with Volume V of the A Tempo Project... unsourced, but I wonder if citations #16 to #19 can source it? Perhaps combine the paragraphs
- The "Source" section should be titled External links and I'd remove the interview. Check the guidance on external links at WP:EXTERNAL
- In your references, the Dutch Wikipedia cannot be used, please remove
- You have quite a few interviews with the subject, which is fine, but you first need to establish if the subject passes the WP:NMUSICIAN criteria, through the use of significant coverage in multiple secondary independent sources (which are not interviews). Qcne (talk) 13:31, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

14:54, 30 October 2023 review of submission by Karthikkrishnamurthy123

Hello Team, I had submitted a page for moderator review. The page got rejected on the following lines: "See WP:CORPDEPTH. Many stock market notices do not confer notability. Come back with reliable sources WP:RS about the company."

@Tagishsimon - Thank you for your inputs.

Can you or someone help in understanding this: 1. Is the content tonality fine? Are there any feedback or concerns there? 2. If I manage to find notable references, will the chances of acceptance increase?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks. Karthikkrishnamurthy123 (talk) 14:54, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Karthikkrishnamurthy123. Let us take an analogy. In building terms, somebody is telling you that they're concerned whether your house has any foundations, and whether the land it is built on is stable, and you're asking them about the quality of your building. Nobody is going to spend very much time evaluating that when they think the ground may collapse underneath it. Sort out the foundations first, and then worry about the actual building.
But I did take a quick look - and my eyes glazed over. Do you honestly expect Wikipedia readers to care about the details of a routine corporate financial transaction. The question that your article needs to answer is What is it about this film company that has made independent commentators want to write about it? And of course the answer must come from what those commentators said, not from anything at all the the company says or wants to say. ColinFine (talk) 11:04, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

16:42, 30 October 2023 review of submission by Brogonee

I have properly cited the article...i don't know why it keeps getting rejected? Brogonee (talk) 16:42, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

16:52, 30 October 2023 review of submission by Brogonee

Please kindly review the article Bala Sanusi Turaki. I have properly cited it and made valuable corrections Brogonee (talk) 16:52, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Brogonee I have now rejected your draft- there is simply no evidence this person meets our WP:NPEOPLE notability criteria, and you've already had five reviews. Your two new sources are trivial mentions and do not count towards notability.
I would recommend giving up on this draft. Qcne (talk) 16:54, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
i agree with you, but can you help me do something?, kindly google this name sharply "sesi whingan", i once created a draft about him too, but the editors keep rejecting it, when there are almost 1000 reliable sources on google mentionning about him...he is the current deputy charman on petroleum resources, Upstream for the House of Representatives (Nigeria), it still baffles me why you guys do such things...don't make wikipedia biased please. Brogonee (talk) 16:58, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately I can't find any draft titled 'sesi whingan', and there's nothing in your contribution history. Did you use another account to submit it? Without seeing the draft I have no idea why it was rejected. Qcne (talk) 17:06, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i think a problem with MAKING them is that if i press enter, it doesn't make it to where as the finish, it's just all blobby, like in a paragraph. 72.34.120.68 (talk) 18:19, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP editor. I don't understand your question but your draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. You have now made three drafts, all of which have been inappropriate for Wikipedia.
May I suggest you go elsewhere to write your articles, perhaps a blog? See WP:ALTERNATIVEOUTLETS for a list of places that are not Wikipedia. Qcne (talk) 20:30, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

20:40, 30 October 2023 review of submission by Lovefishtropicalcane

For my first page, I figured the right thing should be to create a page for someone who deserves a Wikipedia page but does not have it yet. For this purpose, I picked one of my seniors from the university.

The submitted bio was 2-3 lines. And I submitted two links to cite the validity of the person.

I kindly request all to share whether there is a minimum word count and number of citations required to get approved. Lovefishtropicalcane (talk) 20:40, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lovefishtropicalcane I'm afraid you are asking the wrong question. If the subject of your very brief draft has passed WP:NPROF it is likely that it would have been accepted.
However, LinkedIn is a user generated site and cannot ever be a reference. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:47, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lovefishtropicalcane Generally one aims for three solid references. However, inherent notability trumps quality of references. The exception is that living people do require very careful referencing. For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. 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 cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make a draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
I hope that helps. My first answer was to set you on the right path. My second is to help you see the path more clearly 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:04, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much. I was demotivated after my first draft got rejected, but now i have some leads to work on. I am already working on fixing the issues, and improving my article before submitting it again, hopefully this time i will get approved. Lovefishtropicalcane (talk) 05:18, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Sir, I referenced to LinkedIn to prove his tenure at University. I see the point in your response. I am working on to fix the issue. Thanks a lot for replying. Lovefishtropicalcane (talk) 05:19, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

20:50, 30 October 2023 review of submission by 128.249.96.242

Hello,

Is there anything else I can do to get this page approved? 128.249.96.242 (talk) 20:50, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP editor,
Your draft was declined, not rejected, so it has potential. The problem is that the vast majority of your sources are patents or papers by Todd, which means they are not WP:INDEPENDENT of him. We need to see significant coverage of Todd in reliable, secondary sources that are independent. You can certainly use Todd's primary sources to evidence parts of the biography, but first we need to prove notability under WP:NPEOPLE or perhaps WP:NACADEMIC. The criteria for proving notability is at those two links, the easiest of which is to find those reliable, secondary sources that cover Todd in detail. Qcne (talk) 20:58, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

00:09, 31 October 2023 review of submission by IWasIAm

Is there anything else I can add to have this being a better chance of being accepted? IWasIAm (talk) 00:09, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@IWasIAm: This draft has no references, and not even the slightest indication that the subject meets Wikipedia’s notability standards for musicians. “Up and coming”=“Not notable yet”. “Not much is known about [him]”=“Not even close to being notable”. Come back when he’s actually accomplished enough that newspapers and magazines are writing about him. --Finngall talk 06:56, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@IWasIAm: no, nothing; this draft has been rejected, and will therefore not be considered further. For future reference, adding referencing would be a good idea, see WP:REFB. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:56, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your draft is completely unsourced and specifically says he is not known. A musician must already be known and receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable musician, in order to merit an article. When that happens, come back. 331dot (talk) 06:58, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

05:56, 31 October 2023 review of submission by Prerna Shetty 124

The article titled 'Huzur Phadnis (Fadnis) Family of Indore' is an original piece of work based on a noble family from the court of Indore State and has been written with diligent research. I have written this article with the consent of the said family. The article was rejected stating that "it appears to be a duplicate submission of 'Draft: Abbas Shokri' (Link: (Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Draft:Abbas_Shokri&action=edit&redlink=1))" but that draft isn't available I request you to please help me gain more clarification on the rejection of my article and the unavailability of the said draft. I also request you to assist me in publishing my article as soon as possible. Awaiting a positive reply. Thank you. 

Prerna Shetty 124 (talk) 05:56, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Prerna Shetty 124: I don't see how the two drafts could be related in any way, I expect this was an erroneous decline in that respect. Perhaps you could ask the reviewer directly? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:55, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

08:07, 31 October 2023 review of submission by 87.49.146.37

Hi, I tried to create this page a few months ago. It has not yet been created. Is there a particular reason why it has not been posted, or is there something that can be done to get it posted. 87.49.146.37 (talk) 08:07, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This draft was submitted on 1 Sept (twice), and again on 11 Oct (BTW, please don't submit multiple times, once is enough). We have a backlog of over 3,000 drafts awaiting review, and it can take four months or more, so it was simply a case of waiting longer. However, it has now been reviewed, and declined. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:22, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @KannappaSara9. All your citations are randomly hanging off the bottom of the page instead of in-line with text.

IP Editor. Please do not accuse me of xenophobia. Your single source references the Asian Shooting Championship 2023. But the draft is about the 2024 Summer Olympics. I am sure you will agree that these are two different sporting events. There are no references that discuss Lebanon at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Hello, My draft is rejected with the reasons that there are not enough reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. But 3 of my 4 references do fit that criteria. Please provide more specific requirements such as "need 10 or more" or "Reference 1 is not independent" or ... something else, and I'll do the best I can to satisfy them.

I would really appreciate the guidance in order to focus on the most effective edits. Thank you.

Robert RobertRedfield (talk) 04:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@RobertRedfield: the first source is obviously close primary one, so that doesn't count. The next two are about the person, not about the film. The last source seems okay, but it alone isn't enough. (It's also very local, which usually means the threshold for covering local news is very low.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:24, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi DoubleGrazing - thank you for the guidance and that helps me understand. Makes sense.

13:03, 1 November 2023 review of submission by Gozips1870

I am trying to create a page for a prominent political scientist. I am wondering about the use of independent sources. I understand that I cannot use sources of a university she is employed by, but can I use sites of past universities she was employed by since they are no longer connected? Also, how do I navigate mentioning her research if I must use sources that do not have a vested interest in the individual? Gozips1870 (talk) 13:03, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Gozips1870: you can use close primary sources to support non-contentious factual information, eg. the person's current position and research interests, etc., but you cannot use them to establish notability per WP:GNG. You also cannot cite them as a neutral source on qualitative matters, so eg. if her current university website says that she is a "leading expert" on something, that wouldn't be acceptable to quote. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
PS: If you're seeking to demonstrate notability per WP:NACADEMIC instead, then it is possible to do this even by citing solely primary sources, eg. her university website stating that she has a named chair, or a major journal confirming that she is their editor in chief. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:09, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I did cite the university webpage that noted that she was the appointed director of an applied politics institute. Did I do that part incorrectly? Gozips1870 (talk) 13:16, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Gozips1870: you did it partly right. The citation is correctly formatted, but it appears at the end of the body text, rather than immediately after the statement that it supports. (And the other citation doesn't appear in the body text at all, but rather in the 'References' section, where it supports nothing.) Especially in articles on living people, inline citations must be done so clearly that the reader should never wonder where a particular piece of information comes from, it should have the corresponding citation right next to it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:10, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. That was not specified during the initial rejection so I appreciate your explanation. Gozips1870 (talk) 13:36, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fleximilityandcommunity It's not necessarily the sources themselves that are the issue, but their content. The raising of funds is a routine business activity that does not contribute to notability. Awards do not usually contribute to notability unless the award itself merits an article(like Academy Award or Nobel Peace Prize). "Startups" almost never merit articles- a company typically must be established and recognized in its field enough that independent sources choose to write about it and what makes it significant.

@Momzilla007 At a glance I'm not sure any of the sources you have now are acceptable (for notability purposes), which do you think are your two solid ones? -- asilvering (talk) 20:23, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I thought the 2 acceptable sources were the CKPG and the MyPGNow articles. They are both news articles. However, I've discussed this with my mentor and they have suggested that because it is a local store and not so well known outside of this area, it is not a great addition to Wikipedia. Admittedly, it is only a local treasure to the geeks of northern BC. So I am going to put the article to the side and focus on other stuff on here until the day comes that Game Quest is more notable in a larger area. :)
Thanks for responding. I appreciate the help with this. I'm pretty new to Wikipedia and I see I have lots to learn still. :) Momzilla007 (talk) 23:47, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Momzilla007 The PGNow one is almost certainly written by Game Quest - see how it has no byline, just "staff"? That's usually a good hint that an article is a PR piece. It's fair to use as a source for facts but doesn't tell us much about notability. The CKPG one, I would say that is too short. For an article on a company, you're looking for something more in-depth than that. Good luck with your future editing! -- asilvering (talk) 01:01, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it does feel kind of sales pitchy, so that makes sense...I did not know that if there was no author it was likely written by the store itself. This is good info. Thank you. Always learning! Momzilla007 (talk) 02:50, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Walkadwill most of the content is unsourced and it looks like the sources provided are standard announcements about her exhibitions and/or interviews so not helpful for notability. The obituary was not written by a journalist so also not helpful. See the notability guidelines for artists. Generally for artists you need critical reviews of their work from reputable publications (ArtForum, major newspapers, etc.) or to demonstrate they have had solo shows at major galleries or museum, etc. S0091 (talk) 17:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. It's indeed a wonderful feeling to contribute to the growth of this encyclopedia.

I'd like to know if, in the event of rejection, I will receive further feedback to understand whether I haven't delved enough into the sources or if there's another reason. Additionally, if I'm making any mistakes in the publication process, I'd appreciate guidance on the correct path to follow, as I have several entries related to architecture that I'd like to contribute. In the meantime, thank you, and keep up the good work. 77.39.234.178 (talk) 17:12, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP, I am assuming you are the User George Taylor Bown? If so, please remember to sign into your account. You successfully resubmitted the draft so it is pending which may take some time but yes, if it is declined again you will get feedback. Likewise, if it is accepted you will be notified.

The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further; prior reviews must remain on the draft. You did not demonstrate that she passes the notability criteria, and your sources do not offer significant coverage of her.

The editor said that the submission wasn't notable since the source weren't the ones he/she provided as examples. However, looking at comparable pages The LaSallian and The Guidon, the sources are similar in nature. Lj alta (talk) 17:53, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lj alta, an acceptable Wikipedia article summarizes what reliable sources that are entirely independent of the topic say about the topic. Your draft contains no such references to independent sources. As for the other articles, perhaps they should be deleted. Do not base your draft on poor quality articles. Cullen328 (talk) 18:01, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lj alta: the sources are three cites of the publication's own website, and one of Scribd (which is user-generated), none of which contribute towards notability per WP:GNG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:02, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I wanted to reach out and see if I could get clarification - while I understand why my submission keeps getting denied, I can't help bring this to your attention. I have looked at other independent labels' Wikipedia sites as a reference as to what to correct and they have nearly the SAME reference sources and they are approved.

The preferred term is articles, not the broader "pages", this may affect your mindset. Please see Articles for Deletion to learn about how you can propose articles for deletion.

Thanks so much for your help, I think I realized what I'm doing wrong with the links running through their website.

Hello,

The draft has been declined with the rationale that the cited sources are not enough to support the content of the article (WP:OR). But I believe all I wrote there can be found in these sources so I am confused.

Could someone help me identify what part is not supported by the sources I cite? Or maybe should I use the sources differently throughout the article?

Hi @Madison.y it seems many of the sources are interviews which are not independent so cannot be used to establish notability. See also the notability guidelines for artists.

10:30, 3 November 2023 review of submission by Lin Htet Wah Wah

Notable Achievements: Hla Hla Win has achieved notable recognition and awards for her work in the field of education and social entrepreneurship. Her receipt of the Digital Innovation Award and the Netexplo Innovation Award is a testament to her significant contributions.

Impactful Education Reform: She has been instrumental in reforming the education system in Myanmar and Southeast Asian nations. Her pioneering use of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies to enhance learning experiences is groundbreaking and deserves acknowledgment.

Inspirational Journey: Hla Hla Win's personal journey, from her struggles as a student in the traditional Myanmar education system to her scholarship at Harvard University and subsequent entrepreneurial success, is an inspiring story that can motivate others.

Social Entrepreneurship: As the CEO of 360ed, she has demonstrated the potential of social entrepreneurship to create positive change in society. Her work showcases how innovative technologies can be harnessed for social impact.

Impact on a Vulnerable Population: Her efforts to continue providing education during challenging times, such as the military coup in Myanmar, demonstrate her unwavering commitment to serving vulnerable and underserved populations, particularly children in conflict areas.

Global Relevance: Hla Hla Win's work and mission extend beyond national borders, aligning with global trends in education and technology. Her ideas and solutions hold promise for improving education in other developing communities and countries worldwide.

Recognition by Reputable Organizations: Her acknowledgment by organizations like the World Economic Forum's Schwab Foundation and UNESCO reflects the international recognition of her contributions.

Educational Policy and Innovation: Hla Hla Win's academic background in educational policy and innovation, combined with her practical application of these concepts, makes her a notable figure in the field.

Documented Information: There is a significant amount of credible and verifiable information available about Hla Hla Win's life, achievements, and contributions, making her a suitable subject for a Wikipedia page.

Educational Resources: A Wikipedia page would serve as an educational resource, providing information about the innovative use of technology in education and the potential of social entrepreneurship to bring about change. Lin Htet Wah Wah (talk) 10:30, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lin Htet Wah Wah: I don't see a question anywhere in that. In any case, this draft has been rejected and will not be considered further.

10:42, 3 November 2023 review of submission by Stdedos

I don't understand what is the problem with my submission. It is a translation from https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astu_(Unix), with fixed links.

How can I get more reliable sources from a copyrighted material? Stdedos (talk) 10:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Stdedos. The French and English Wikipedias are different projects with different standards and guidelines. The English Wikipedia certainly has the most strict content criteria.
For articles about software, check WP:NSOFTWARE which explains what we need to see in a draft. Your draft has a single reference from blogspot, so it doesn't pass the notability requirements. May I suggest you add some of your article content to the existing Mr Robot article instead? Qcne (talk) 10:46, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The page I tried to translate is the only "crawled" reference that comes up when searching "astu" at Google (some 1.5y ago)
Current results look like this (https://pasteboard.co/fJiY7bNH18xv.png)
Naturally, a more-established domain to store knowledge makes it more worthy.
I am not sure what would make sense including in the main Mr. Robot page, from a small piece that "quickly" describes a fictional command. Stdedos (talk) 11:07, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Mm, sorry but Reddit, Twitter, YCombinator, Blogs etc and such don't count as reliable sources.

Hi @Tapioviina. Yes indeed, the English Wikipedia has the strictest content guidelines. The other language are all separate projects with different guidelines and standards.
Looking at your draft, I would suggest the issue is that most of the sources used are WP:PRIMARY, with then some insignificant coverage in secondary sources (like installation tutorials). We would need to see significant coverage in multiple (usually at least three) secondary sources that are reliable and indepednent of the topic. Qcne (talk) 11:48, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Friends, Could you please help me to edit and submit an article about my favorite writer Valerian Markarov? I will highly appreciate your support. ParnassusAward (talk) 12:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @ParnassusAward. A few issues:
- you included copyrighted text in your draft. This is strictly prohibited and will likely lead to your draft being deleted. You must paraphrase or summarise the sources you use, do not copy them.
- you have zero references and no in-line citations. Biographies of living people must be fully sourced. See the tutorial at WP:INTREFVE.
- you have not proven that Valerian has passed the WP:NAUTHOR criteria. Only authors who pass that criteria may have an article written about them. You can prove notability by following the guidelines on that page.
- you have some tone issues, i.e. "recognizes talented, famous, and successful writers of the world, whose high-spirited, bright, and noble works promote the universal values that unite peoples and make our world better, such as humanism, peace, kindness, justice, and love" and "While his loving and caring mother taught her son lessons of kindness and morality, Valerian's father introduced him to the wonderful world of art and literature". This type of language is completely inappropriate for an encyclopaedia which must be written in a neutral, dry, voice. See WP:NPOV.

19:03, 3 November 2023 review of submission by Llightex

Hi! I wanted to check to learn more about how I can improve this draft. The AfC request was declined because "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people)." In the submission, I included several sources that were independent of the subject and included significant coverage of the article subject. Could you provide more guidance as to why those sources were insufficient and what kinds of sources / coverage would be better to add? Copying @AirshipJungleman29: in case you have any insights as well! (thanks for your review) Llightex (talk) 19:03, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Llightex, my reasoning was as follows: the duplicate citations 2 and 4, along with 5 and 6, are non-independent, as they are published by the article subject's employer and thus fall under WP:COISOURCE. As for the others, citations 5 and 7 do not provide significant ccoverage, and citation 1 fails to meet WP:NBASIC—it has plagiarized text from the non-independent citations 2/4, which can be seen to have existed since 2020. Hope that helps. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:15, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The submission I've created for Charles J. Orlando, from my limited experience and standpoint, does pass notability. So many entries I've read that purportedly "pass" notability are *obviously* paid entries and promotional. Whereas what I've written has clear, notable citations, and mainstream sources. I'm unclear what is not passing. (Disclosure: I'm not affiliated with the subject of this entry. Yes, I've followed him and read his books but that shouldn't equate to my being a shill.)

Hi,

I have been trying to get this published for a while now, at first it was not enough sources I now have 33 sources, then the sources were not of high enough quality which I also fixed by finding reputable news sources.

The most recent one is that it sounded like an advert which I fixed, Chat GPT did half the work and I fixed the rest.

Now the latest comment is that it is worse than before? Can you provide any specifics on how? It definitely sounds less like an advert.
