02:00, 17 November 2023 review of submission by ZENG Hao123
how to let this page do not look like a commercial. ZENG Hao123 (talk) 02:00, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- @ZENG Hao123: I'm not sure why you're asking that, this hasn't been declined for looking like an advertisement; it has been declined for complete lack of any evidence of notability. Wikipedia articles should be written by summarising what independent and reliable secondary sources have previously said about a subject, and citing those sources as you go so that readers can see where the information came from. Your draft cites no sources at all, therefore failing the core requirements of not only notability but also basic verifiability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:57, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
06:18, 17 November 2023 review of submission by My Uttarakhand
- My Uttarakhand (talk · contribs) (TB)
The article submitted is an experience summary of a writer. As the article is rejected, I am willing to find help in writing the same in an appropriate manner so that the information is added to Wikipedia. The person on whom the article is written is a very well-known writer and I think there is nothing bad in adding a detail on such personality when we already have many such personalities already added in the portal.
My Uttarakhand (talk) 06:18, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- @My Uttarakhand: do you have a question you would like to ask? This draft has been deleted as promotional. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, my question still remains the same. Coz I know that this article is not submitted as an advertisement, but it is about a personality, who is contributing in India's science and literature cummunity. I added links where it is evident that the writer is genuine, and also he has bagged quite good number of awards by the government as well as by renowned organisations.
- Still, as mentioned, how can I add 'evidence of notability' or 'references' to this, which make it more real for wikipedia?
- Also, if the added ones are not considered as references, what kind of links I have to add? My Uttarakhand (talk) 09:05, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- An article should not merely tell of the existence of someone and describe their accomplishments. It should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the writer, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable writer or more broadly a notable person. 331dot (talk) 09:08, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
07:54, 17 November 2023 review of submission by 2401:BA80:A10D:8ED0:1798:4B58:1A38:2FE9
I have seen many pages that doesn't have reliable sources and they are published with requesting additional resources. Why can't we do the same for this page? Secondly multiple Admins have multiple opinion. One consider one link as reliable and keep it and other reject that. The other consider another reference as reliable and then third person comes to reject and says it's not acceptable.
In the most recent revision one Admin came and updated the company intro entirely and even removed one service and referenced one link. When added few more links, all links got non reliable. One Admin says reads like an advertisement, which removed and second says non reliable at all. Seems like page is being discriminated and everyone came up with their own conclusion. I understand that Wikipedia is a platform where ALL Collaborate to reach a final conclusion, but what about those pages who are on Wikipedia with no notability and no link whatsoever and here dozens of references were just rejected with one statement that it doesn't meet the requirement.at least the industry market size research and mentioning of the company should have been thoroughly checked before making a final decision.
Please advise, and I would request not to delete this page but at least publish it with requesting additional citations. If English version of Wikipedia has but higher standard, you can move this to any other language where it could meet the requirement to be stayed on the Wikipedia at least. 2401:BA80:A10D:8ED0:1798:4B58:1A38:2FE9 (talk) 07:54, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- There's not enough in-depth coverage referenced that isn't written by the company itself. Website profiles and passing mentions aren't enough to support a Wikipedia article. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 07:59, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't work like that. We don't publish an article on a completely non-notable subject in the hope that someone might one day find some proof of notability. This has been rejected and won't be considered further.
- I don't know who you refer to when you say "we", but whoever you are, you clearly have some sort of external relationship with this subject, which hasn't been disclosed anywhere that I could find. As if the situation wasn't bad enough already, COI/UPE editing makes it worse in my book at least. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:00, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Please see other stuff exists. It's likely there are many inappropriate articles that have not yet been addressed by volunteer editors; this cannot justify the addition of more inappropriate articles, otherwise nothing could ever be removed from Wikipedia. If you would like to help us, please identify these other inappropriate articles you have seen for possible action. We need the help. 331dot (talk) 09:10, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

- Qcne, DoubleGrazing I've had a look at the drafting think may be borderline notable.
- Pbritti I'm going to take the unusual and WP:IAR step undoing your rejection in order to allow a second opinion. A route might be to accept it myself having submitted it and to watch any subsequent deletion process as a neutral observer.

I stand by my rejection. The references are lists of locomotives with no depth of coverage. The one article only makes a passing reference to the 1853. There is nothing that I have found to suggest there is any more basis for notability. Based on this IP's persistent REFBOMBing with references sometimes completely unrelated to the subject, I felt rejection ensured an editor who may have passed over this draft without thoroughly reviewing the contents of the sources was the appropriate decision. ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:35, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

- This IP has repeatedly engaged in bad-faith and manipulative behavior, detailed at ANI. Anything they submit should be subjected to significant scrutiny, as they have been shown to REFBOMB with sources that have trivial mentions of the subjects at best.

Stefano Caselli is the Dean of SDA Bocconi School of Management that is ranked 4th in EU and https://rankings.ft.com/rankings/2943/european-business-school-rankings-2022 Also with an MBA Program ranked 3rd in EU and 6th WW: https://rankings.ft.com/rankings/2909/mba-2023
Can we please understand the reason why this is not worth a eng Wikipedia page? Also seen that all other Deans of Business Schools in EU have one?
Please advise on how we should proceed. Thanks m 93.35.241.248 (talk) 13:11, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Who is "we"?
- Please understand that what is acceptable on the Italian Wikipedia is not necessarily acceptable here, these are separate projects, with their own editors and policies. It does sound like he could be notable, but as reviewers noted you don't have enough independent reliable sources with significant coverage. 331dot (talk) 13:16, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

14:19, 17 November 2023 review of submission by Drayden475
This is my first fully written article ever on Wikipedia. I will admit that I work closely with Bushfires NT, being a Rural Firefighter. I would like some assistance on rectifying the issues that caused the initial drafts rejection, primarily around citation and making sure the article was up to full standards. I do plan to add photos once i have found some more Drayden475 (talk) 14:19, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Drayden475:, thanks for reaching out. Please take a look at the decline notice. Wikipedia articles need in-depth coverage that is not written by, or affiliated with, the article's subject. The draft does not have any independent sources listed. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 14:26, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- To be fair, I did not realize when first looking at it that it was a government agency. I don't think that government agencies require the same level of independent sources, though it be very useful. I'm also going to combine the references that all point to the same place. And "my research" is simply not appropriate as a reference and should be dropped.Naraht (talk) 14:32, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Drayden475 As an additional comment. This is a decline notice, *not* a rejection. There is certainly time now to improve the draft and resubmit it. As a government agency, I think there is a good chance that it reaches notability and it isn't hideously written (I know "damning with fair praise"), external references need to be found. Honestly, using news.google and looking for "Brushfires NT" on abc.com.au is likely to give at least a couple of articles that deal with it in a way beyond simply reference (funding issues or even coverage of it fighting fires are probably good enough. I'd suggest continuing to improve the draft on references, there will be time for photos after it is approved for mainspace.Naraht (talk) 14:47, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

- Likhith NG (talk · contribs) (TB)
This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are: in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject) reliable secondary independent of the subject Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Likhith NG (talk) 14:50, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Likhith NG: You've submitted this essay 3 times with no sources and there is nothing on Google when you search for "Eternal Cognition Paradox". No proof of notability. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 15:02, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Likhith NG: when a draft is rejected (rather than merely declined), that means you should not resubmit it. This has been rejected twice, so you definitely should not resubmit it. I've undone your latest submission. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:08, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

- I've had a look at several sources by doing an independent search on Google News and the principal problem I can see is that the references are written by Suzanne Kianpour or are third-party sources quoting things she has written about for the BBC. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of source material actually about her, and without that, we can't write an appropriate article. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 20:16, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

What kind of sources should I use for an article about a moderately successful singer/dancer (if chart positions aren't valuable enough)? And what kind of info is absolutely necessary to include? I thought she already had a Wiki page around 10 years ago (and it was either deleted or I got her mixed up with someone else) that's why I'm creating one now, because another (also moderately successful) singer with the same name has the article instead. JordiLS89 (talk) 16:34, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

- It looks to me as if every single refernce in the draft is from the subject, or an institution that the subject is associated with. Thus not one single independent source is cited. 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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Submission declined on 13 June 2023 by Turnagra (talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
This biographic stub has 16 references. Nine of them are official Turkmen news agencies, in some cases repeating government decrees; the others are a mix of private news outlets generally considered reliable. All but two are in Russian, which is one of the two dominant languages of Turkmenistan. This article is part of an effort to create biographies of all heads of the oil and gas industry of Turkmenistan, which possesses the fourth-largest natural gas reserves in the world and is China's largest supplier of natural gas. I do not understand why the article was rejected on the grounds that it is "not adequately supported by reliable sources." The sources are reliable and are cited in other articles about Turkmenistan in Wikipedia. I would like for this article to be reviewed again. Amustard (talk) 20:04, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Several of your editors have been unjustly denying this article submission on completely frivolous grounds. This article has been a painstaking effort at translating the German version of the article and it features the *exact same* references and citations found there. The German version was approved without issue, but because the editors don't speak German (unlike myself, a German citizen), they claim that they can't verify the authenticity of my translation (even though translators exist) and are blocking the approval of the article on that ground, as well as for other absurd reasons like some imaginary requirement for each paragraph to have an in-line citation - which is ridiculous, considering the article is almost a word-for-word paraphrasing of the speech, and the citations literally include primary sources, such as a recording of the speech in question (but because the seemingly-politically-biased English-speaking editors that need to approve this article don't understand the speech and the reference annotation, which are in German, they refuse to recognize any of the sources). If the German article was able to be published just fine with these exact same citations and references, why are they repeatedly rejecting this article without any real grounds? I set out to spend many hours painstakingly translating this article, bit by bit, to allow English speakers to read about arguably the most consequential speech of the 20th Century, which led directly to the meteoric rise of radical Nazi ideology within Germany, and all of the horrible consequences that followed. To censor this article for such an absurd reason is to censor history, at a critical moment in time where we are once again on the precipice, facing the potential emergence of Fascism around the globe, but especially in Anglophone countries like the United States of America. This is a pivotal time in history - we CANNOT censor the past. Please approve this article, as it is an accurate translation and meets all criteria. OrdinaryContributor (talk) 01:01, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Teahouse - Article Denied For Frivolous Reasons. The objections raised are that the article is poorly referenced, not that the translation is unfaithful.

- Perhaps we could get past the foot stamping, OrdinaryContributor, and you could do something constructive to move the article forwards? There is right now a single citation, in the form Erschließungstext im Deutschen Rundfunkarchiv dazu: "Adolf Hitler (Reichskanzler): Zum Antrag für das Ermächtigungsgesetz / Der „durch die marxistische Irrlehre systematisch herbeigeführte Zerfall der Nation“ soll verhindert werden / Wiederaufbau etc etc. It seems that each section of that, denoted by the forward slashes, is to a section of the speech as recorded in Deutschen Rundfunkarchiv 2590218. The single monolithic citation could be broken into its sections, and each could be linked to the pretinent part of the article. Each, too, could be translated for the English language reader. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:32, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
01:02, 18 November 2023 review of submission by Ethel Del
Hello there, my question is regarding why the submission was declined for "WUDPAC"? The reviewer's note said "lack of reliable sources," however the two sources given: 1). comes from The American Institute for Conservation and the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (which are the professional associations in cultural heritage in the U.S.); and 2). comes from the programs' website (which is an accredited American university, the current U.S. president attended this university).
I'm not sure how these sources are "unreliable." Ethel Del (talk) 01:02, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Ethel Del Sorry, that decline is a bit unhelpfully worded. What the reviewer means is that there are not enough reliable, independent sources to show that the article topic meets notability guidelines. -- asilvering (talk) 02:40, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

- Pedantic Aristotle (talk · contribs) (TB)
At the moment, the main article Javier Milei has grown very large and disorganized. There is an attempt to clean-up the article, and create two spin-off articles instead, for public image and political positions.
The comment for rejection was "it contained too much information on himself rather than just his public image". I'm confused, since the only content that was copied from the main article, was the content related to public image, including media perception, academic analysis etc. I agree the content is not particularly neutral, but the previous attempt to create the other spin-off article as neutral Political views of Javier Milei was sabotaged, and criticized for not starting with the content of the main article first. The idea this time was to start with the content from the main article, then iterate on it.

- Sylvan1971 (talk · contribs) (TB)
I would like to appeal the non-accpetance of the current draft. The subject of the proposed article has created and had published a sustained and substantial body of work related the the specific genre of urban matters writ large. She is considered to be an expert in this genre and, as documented in the draft, is sought out for her expertise by radio, conferences, television and print. She has written and had published at least 100 more stories than I have cited. The subject appears to meet Wikipedia's criteria for Creative Professionals.
With all due respect to the reviewer, I think they may have overlooked notability standards for Creative Professionals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)). I also find no requirement for the reviewer's ostensible requirement of "in-depth coverage (full-length articles, not just passing mentions) in usually at least 3 reliable sources that are not written by or affiliated with the subject." There are thousands of wikipedia biographies that do not meet this standard. Perhaps the wrong criteria were applied by this reviewer.
Finally, I note that the review was completed in 4 minutes. Sylvan1971 (talk) Sylvan1971 (talk) 22:53, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Sylvan1971 are there any sources that are not what she has written, speaking engagements or interviews with her? Being an important figure or widely cited means others have written about what a person has written/said with sources explaining why they are an important figure. Participating in discussions, speaking engagements or being interviewed does not meet that bar. I will also note the reviewer is correct in that three sources with in-depth coverage is often the measurement editors use to determine notability (see also WP:THREE). Some of that depends on the source and depth of coverage and also be mindful WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, meaning there are tons of articles that do not meet today's notability criteria. S0091 (talk) 16:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- You appear to have missed the part of WP:NCREATIVE that says
People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. ... conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included
. - Meeting the criteria means that it is likely that suitable sources exist. This does not absolve the article writer from having to find those suitable sources. ColinFine (talk) 16:32, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hey, Sylvan! The fact the reviewer made an edit, then declined four minutes later, isn't really significant in any way. They could have been reading through the draft for hours before making their first edit, for all anyone knows.

I'm writing about the subject(Art, Mighty Bolton) and you guys keep rejecting the wikipedia page and it makes no sense. This is the message I keep getting; "the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing"mentions) about the subject in published".
I did my research and It is not passing mentions because the subject(Mighty Bolton) is 'The Art of Dialogue'.
The YouTube channel is named after him and Art is his nickname and if you look up his trademark paper work online which is available to the Public. You will discover the subject(Art, Mighty Bolton) I'm writing about owns the 'The Art of Dialogue' trademark which means he owns the name and rights to the brand 100 percent.
This is no different then DJ Vlad, Adam 22, DJ Akadimics who are in the same field of the subject I'm writing about. The subject I'm writing about is a YouTuber so that's why I provide YouTube reference to verify his subscriber count and YouTube views views. I did my research, who ever wrote DJ Vlad page and other YouTubers did the same thing by providing YouTube references on their Wikipedia pages and you guys accepted their Wikipedia article.
I provided better and more valid references than DJ Vlad and other YouTubers Wikipedia pages which got accepted but you keep rejecting the Wikipedia Article I wrote about Art(Mighty Bolton) . What you are claiming is not true. Can you accept the Wikipedia article, so I can move on.
Most of the references I provided for the subject I'm writing about are accepted references on other Wikipedia articles that are already approved. Cindyflower96 (talk) 14:47, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- I have not looked in detail at the draft (which I see you have resubmitted without making any changes: do not do this). But I notice a number of peacock words, like "insightful" and "notable". No Wikipedia article should ever describe anything in such terms, except in a direct quotation from a reliable independent source.
- Many of the paragraphs in the "Career" section are problematic beyond the choice of words. Looking, for example, at the paragraph about Keefe D, it begins with
Mighty Bolton, has facilitated numerous insightful interviews over the years, uncovering layers of complexity within the hip-hop community
. Which independent reliable source says this? (The source cited at the end of the paragraph does not make such a claim). Without a source for this specific claim, it is original research and should be removed. In fact the citation has only a passing mention of Art of Dialogue, and 1) contributes nothing to Bolton's notability, and 2) does not justify anything like the amount of detail in the paragraph in an article about Bolton (it might do so in an article about Keefe or Wright). That paragraph should be replaced by, at most, one sentence. - And that is one paragraph. I suspect that most of the "career" section is similarly unsourced and/or original research.
- With regard to what you have writen above: "notable" in Wikipedialand has a precise meaning, which is different from any of "important", "popular", "famous" or "influential": it basically means "enough independent material has been reliably published about this subject to base an article on". Unfortunately, some classes of subject (such as YouTubers) don't tend to get written about much, so articles about them are not always possible. If secondary sources exist, and an article can be written based on them, then information such us YouTube count can be added, and referenced to non-independent sources; but such information cannot contribute to notability in Wikipedia's sense.
- Finally, the existence of another article does not necessarily imply that it was ever "accepted". Many thousands of seriously deficient articles were written in an earlier age, when we were not so careful about standards: in many cases their continued existence means either that nobody who cares about our standards has looked at them, or that nobody has wanted to put the possibly substantial effort into either improving them or demonstrating that they should be deleted.

15:36, 19 November 2023 review of submission by Cd634011
[I previously posted the following to the Help Desk on November 10th, and one person responded saying they were not an expert on "Academic and technical books" and to repost on the Help Desk. They also mentioned that the rationale looks promising below regarding establishing notability for this "Academic and technical book". Can I please get some help/feedback from someone who is knowledgeable on approving/establishing notability for "Academic and technical books"?]
Hello! This Wikipedia article has now been rejected two times, very quickly, by two separate reviewers on Wikipedia. This is an academic book that has different standards for notability than other types of books, but it appears the reviewers are using notability standards for other kinds of books (fiction, mainstream press). I followed the guidelines for "Academic and technical books" (see below), and based on these guidelines, this book meets the standards for notability.
This is a highly specialized academic book, so I used those guidelines for notability per the "Academic and technical books" section of this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(books). The book was published in Routledge's Scientific Psychology series, which is a prestigious series that includes books by well-known and respected figures in mathematical psychology, such as Duncan Luce and Louis Narens. Books in this series normally undergo multiple levels of peer review. The following quote comes straight from the page regarding using academic presses as a source of determining notability for an academic and technical book: "Publication by a prominent academic press should be accorded far more weight than the analogous benchmark defined for publication of mainstream book by well known commercial publishers, by virtue of the non-commercial nature of such presses, and the peer review process that some academic books must pass before publication is allowed to go forward.”
The audience for this book is relatively narrow, as mathematical psychology is not a large field. As a tenured professor in Experimental Psychology, I believe it to be an important contribution and have used Chapters from the book in my graduate seminar in Cognitive Psychology. Indeed, as also referenced on the notability page: "A book's subject may be so specialized, such as in the esoteric math or physics spheres, that only a few hundred (or fewer) people in the world are situated to understand and comment on the material."
I have made edits to include over a dozen additional secondary references from sources that are independent of the book's author. These include references to textbooks, other academic books, and papers from other fields (e.g., neuroscience, education, economics) that use work featured in the book.
Please also note that while many of the original references are connected to the book's author, they are all from peer-reviewed journals and thus have undergone review by other experts in the field. These references are not independent of the subject, but they are in-depth and reliable, and they are important to demonstrating how the work in the book has been scientifically validated. Cd634011 (talk) 15:36, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Cd634011 You declared a COI with regards to this book, what is the general nature of your COI?
- You have no sources that discuss the importance or significance of this book- most of it summarizes the chapters and studies that corroborate its findings(I think). The chapter summary should be slimmed down significantly- it describes the chapter contents and what they show but nothing about what makes it important or significant or influential. This book may be notable, but you need sources demonstrating that. Note that writing for Wikipedia is different than academic or scholarly writing- Wikipedia articles should be written intended for lay people. 331dot (talk) 19:03, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your quick reply! The conflict of interest relates to the fact that the author was my doctoral thesis advisor and is currently a research colleague. I am happy to revise the page by trimming significantly the chapter summary and making it more "friendly" for lay people. There are numerous sources that show its application and that report on empirical findings that supports its ideas, but, as mentioned below, these sources are not required to establish notability for "Academic and technical books".
- I appreciate your asking for more information to establish notability, but, according to the standards set by Wikipedia for establishing notability: "A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:" The criteria that should be used for this book are in the section for "Academic and technical books" and the book verifiably meets the criteria of being published by a scientific press w/multiple rounds of peer review and it has been required reading in one or more reputable educational institutions (I have used it in a graduate-level seminar at Marietta College). Both of the above are criteria to establish notability for "Academic and technical books".
- At the beginning of the Academic and technical books" subsection, it reads: "Academic and technical books serve a very different function and come to be published through very different processes than do books intended for the general public. They are often highly specialized, have small printing runs, and may only be available in specialized libraries and bookstores. For these reasons, most of the standards for mainstream books are inapplicable to the academic field because they would be too restrictive and would exclude articles on books that are worthy of notice." Unfortunately, the criteria you mention of "they show but nothing about what makes it important or significant or influential" is not applicable to this type of book. The above mentioned criteria that are met are sufficient to establish notability for this book.
- Again, thank you for your prompt response and for the helpful suggestions. Cd634011 (talk) 21:46, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Seconding this comment. From reading the lead I'm not actually sure what the thesis or conclusion of the work is. Even if there isn't a "conclusion" as such in the work because it's advancing a novel theory, I'd still expect that the book gives some suggestions for how the theory could be used. I should know at least a general answer to "so what?" by the end of the lead. -- asilvering (talk) 02:42, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Cd634011, the standards for academic books and fiction books are more or less the same: significant coverage in reliable sources. This is typically pretty easy for academic books, because if they are of note, they tend to be reviewed at some length in journals in their field. I don't see any reviews in the footnotes, but there are a lot of footnotes here, so maybe I missed them? It would be odd for a book to be cited frequently and yet never be reviewed. -- asilvering (talk) 02:36, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for the clarification. Within the "Academic and technical books" section of the Notability wikipedia page it states, "In such cases, possible bases for a finding of notability include, in particular, whether the book is published by an academic press, how widely the book is cited by other academic publications or in the media..." Regarding this last point, there is a footnote that states, "A book's subject may be so specialized, such as in the esoteric math or physics spheres, that only a few hundred (or fewer) people in the world are situated to understand and comment on the material." This book is very specialized/mathematical that it satisfies this condition that there are very few people in the world (experts) that would be "situated to understand and comment on the material". Therefore, it is not surprising that this book has yet to have a book review. But, according to the standards set forth for establishing notability for "Academic and technical books" this is not a problem - as this book meets several other criteria such as being published by an academic press and it being used in one or more reputable educational institutions. I guess, I am confused why these other criteria for establishing notability are being used instead of the ones that I have identified - particularly when the Wikipedia page on notability states that at least one criteria has to be met (and there are no required criteria). In other words, I am not seeing that it is a condition to establish notability that I have to meet the particular criteria the reviewer states and decides to comment on. I am not trying to be argumentative, I am trying to rectify what I see in the notability page to the reviewer comments that I have received thus far (many of which have seemed to ignore the criteria that I have put forth as establishing notability).

- I do remain surprised that it has not had a book review; most academic books are for experts, and at any rate most academic book reviews are written by experts. The experts in my own tiny subfield can all fit in a single room, but that doesn't mean none of us ever get book reviews. For context, what that paragraph you're quoting from is mostly trying to head off is editors trying to say something like "but it only sold 1000 copies, how can it be notable!?" when 1000 copies would be a pretty impressive print run for a lot of academic books. That paragraph is reminding editors to use some common sense. As far as satisfying the criteria, I really still don't see it. Here is, as far as I can tell, the only statement in your draft that suggests notability:
The book content has been recognized by experts in the field of Cognitive Science and has been incorporated into other Academic books.
There isn't anything in the article that explains how or why it's been recognized, so if I want to verify this claim and establish that it is indeed enough to meet notability guidelines, I'm going to have to just... read all four of the citations? That's over 60 pages and an entire book. Please, we're volunteers! I have a lot of patience and I'm willing to spend time on AfC reviews on esoteric topics, but I'm not going to sift through that many pages for a chance a book might be notable. Make it easier on us and give us more to go on. Recognized how? Stuartyeates's comment still applies. -- asilvering (talk) 20:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Here is, as far as I can tell, the only statement in your draft that suggests notability:
- Thank you for the clarification. Within the "Academic and technical books" section of the Notability wikipedia page it states, "In such cases, possible bases for a finding of notability include, in particular, whether the book is published by an academic press, how widely the book is cited by other academic publications or in the media..." Regarding this last point, there is a footnote that states, "A book's subject may be so specialized, such as in the esoteric math or physics spheres, that only a few hundred (or fewer) people in the world are situated to understand and comment on the material." This book is very specialized/mathematical that it satisfies this condition that there are very few people in the world (experts) that would be "situated to understand and comment on the material". Therefore, it is not surprising that this book has yet to have a book review. But, according to the standards set forth for establishing notability for "Academic and technical books" this is not a problem - as this book meets several other criteria such as being published by an academic press and it being used in one or more reputable educational institutions. I guess, I am confused why these other criteria for establishing notability are being used instead of the ones that I have identified - particularly when the Wikipedia page on notability states that at least one criteria has to be met (and there are no required criteria). In other words, I am not seeing that it is a condition to establish notability that I have to meet the particular criteria the reviewer states and decides to comment on.

Occupational Health Science (journal). The last time I put in considerable work on this entry was about two years ago, although the entry was deleted in March 2023. My work on the entry got criticized because the (a) impact factor was missing and (b) the journal was indexed in non-prominent indexes. That has changed. Now I have the impact factor for 2021-2022. It is 3.1, which is good for a new journal. The 5-year impact factor is 3.1, which shows that the journal is holding its own. The journal is only six years old. The impact factor of Psychosomatic Medicine is about 4 but the journal was started in 1939. I also established that the journal is indexed by the important indexing organizations and referenced those facts. I can build the entry over time. But I want to start with a foundation entry. I think I have. I think my fellow editors should allow the journal to exist on Wikipedia. Iss246 (talk) 20:03, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Iss246, "good for a new journal" isn't what we're after - we want "good for a journal in this field". Wikipedia isn't in the business of advertising academic journals. Please have another look at DoubleGrazing's comment and resubmit once you've fixed those issues. If it has a decent impact factor and is indexed in scopus that should be enough to get an acceptance at AfC, though I can't promise it won't be taken to AfD and be deleted again. -- asilvering (talk) 20:42, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- @userAsilvering, I am not advertising. And the journal isn't so new any more. It is six years old. I am familiar with the journal and know that the papers it publishes meet high standards. There are quality journals in WP with lower impact factors. OHES has been accepted for indexing by PubMed/Medline and PsycInfo. I hope that WP editors don't move the goalposts as I get close to having a WP entry accepted. I am adding to the entry this evening. Iss246 (talk) 23:55, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I drafted an article about an athlete and submitted for publication. I was denied due to this reason: 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 for sports persons and athletes). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Can someone elaborate on what makes an athlete notable? The athlete I wrote about had many articles written about her from various sources, including the South China Morning Post, the Hong Kong Tennis Association, and various universities. Further, the athlete has international medal results from well-recognized major games events and has matchups with other notable tennis players. If anyone can give advice on things to add to re-submit. Thank you very much. Tungmatthew14 (talk) 08:27, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi
Playwrights' studio was declined. They are of course notable enough for a page of their own.
Kissable54 (talk) 13:33, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Kissable54: and the evidence for that is where? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:36, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- @DoubleGrazing: Hello, and thank you. Comments were iteratively resolved, In depth, reliable, secondary, strictly independent, refbombing. It is not presumed, Playwrights' Studio is as significant/notable as the many very talented writers (and actors) with pages of their own. ie founder Tom McGraph, who come through their doors as students or early in their career. They have offices on Glasgow's main thoroughfare, a short walk from The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, an internationally recognised school of music and drama, and have worked with many if not all of the best known actors, and published writers for theatre of our generation at all stages of their careers.
- For our international readers, since the 1707 act of union of Scotland and England, a situation that is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future despite much wrangling, Scotland is a small country encompassing approximately the northern 3rd of the United Kingdom. Scotland may not be notable in the broader sense but within Scotland the Playwrights Studio is as significant as The Royal Opera House next door, especially within the acting/drama world of Glasgow, and the capital Edinburgh. Writers coming through the studio have had work performed all over the world, from the Edinburgh International Festival of Theatre to London, New York and Berlin.
- How do I publish? the resubmit link has gone.
- I am unconnected with the subject/genre, and all of the above is verifiable from primary and secondary sources but not directly relevant to the article.Kissable54 (talk) 13:44, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Kissable54: I was more looking for numbers, as in – which of the (numbered) sources in your opinion demonstrate notability per WP:GNG. If you list the three strongest ones, in your opinion, I'm happy to have a look-see.
- The "resubmit link has gone", because this draft has been rejected, not merely declined. After five previous declines the last reviewer must have concluded that no evidence of notability was likely to be forthcoming. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

- @Kissable54: 1, 2 and 3 are all primary sources. We need instead to see significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources (newspapers, magazines, books, TV or radio programmes, etc.). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:25, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- @DoubleGrazingApologies I misunderstood primary as no 8, the organisations official website. I have added references from The Scotsman, Herald, and Guardian, that independently support the facts from the other references. A few of the other reference also got broken and I am fixing them now. Kissable54 (talk) 14:45, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

- @DoubleGrazing: I fixed the other references. I also added a few more references from newspapers.
- References 1ish, 11, 19, 20, 21, and 16 are good secondary sources from The Performing arts Network Japan, The BBC, The Stage, and The Herald that explore the subject with some depth, and validate most of the statements on the official website,
- no 8. 25, 29, and 32 from The Stage, and The Herald provide additional information specific to the subject that is not a passing mention.
- No 6 is a single sentance from The Guardian, but an important reference regarding the involvement of the founder.
- No 7 from the Guardian is also a brief mention but highlights the sheer scale of the organisations work, 189 new writers, for one staff member.
- I am aware it is beginning to look like a ref bomb again and am not a writer so appreciate any advice getting the article published as there is no question the subject is notable enough.
- They were founded in 2004 so much of the press surrounding their incorporation has long since been removed, and the majority of current articles discuss individual projects, or writers, not the organisation. Kissable54 (talk) 17:39, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

- @MaxnaCarta With all due respect I believe you have made a mistake.
- I agree the bar is high, as is the standard of Scotlands Playwrights.
- My own abilities on the other hand... I have resolved the previous editors comments.
- Can you check just two of the references. 20 and 21.
- You will see names that might mean nothing to you but are giants of Scottish literature. You must have heard of Liz Lochead and possibly David Greig (dramatist) to name but two.
- If better references are still required or there are too many primary references I can work on the article but I don't think it should be rejected. Kissable54 (talk) 21:33, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Kissable54, "notability" in the way Wikipedia uses it, essentially comes down to "is there enough independent reliably sourced material published to base an article on?", bearing in mind 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.
- Names of people who have been associated with it contribute zero to this, as notability is not inherited. ColinFine (talk) 00:19, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- There is surprisingly sparse coverage but enough, Check references 20 and 21 first, both independent and reliable, so notable in the way Wikipedia uses it. And notable as working with internationally recognised writers.
- I have spoken with a colleague User: Not Even a Mother who will be taking things from here. I have nothing further to add but there are more references, I just don't have the time for this.

The article was based on other existing players and team members that are already on Wikipedia, and for some of them there is even less coverage, so I'm confused as to why this article isn't suitable. Any insights would be useful to help improve? Here are some examples I mimicked; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_McKenna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emer_Lucey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobel_Joyce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecelia_Joyce 2620:0:1040:20:CD8:8CEA:9C18:7F98 (talk) 15:39, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- We do not assess drafts by comparison to existing articles, and neither should you, as they may have problems of their own. (You should feel free to improve any sub-standard articles you find, or else nominate them for deletion.) We instead go by the currently applicable policies and guidelines. In this case, the relevant guideline is the general notability one WP:GNG, which requires significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:42, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm just trying to get some clarification on why my article was denied articles for creation - I'm new to this so I don't really understand much, and I want to get this page published, I just may need some guidance on how to do so. Thank you! Crouch214 (talk) 21:49, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Crouch214 I fixed your link, it needs the "Draft:". Are you associated with the judge? You don't seem to have independent sources with significant coverage of the judge or what makes him important. You make claims about his innovations, but what makes them innovative is lacking. For more clarification, you may ask the reviewer directly. 331dot (talk) 22:07, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

I do not think there is anything wrong with the references because personally i got it all from that website. I put the reference that shows the exact part of the site where i wrote the paragraphs about! Ch4mpezz (talk) 00:14, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Ch4mpezz: Your article has to be in English. And those sources do not show why the subject is notable. Please read the advice in the decline notice. You need in-depth secondary sources. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:19, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
I got it all from that website
is precisely the problem. 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.- You need to find independent sources, and base the article almost entirely on them. The school's own website cannot contribute anything at all to establishing that the school meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability. ColinFine (talk) 11:49, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

I edited my draft with many reliable sources from Congo my native country.

- @Josammy777: as it says in the decline notice and adjoining comment, this draft is completely unreferenced, with no evidence of notability.

Hello , I made an initial submission of the above article related to Ravindu Nawanjana ( Draft:Ravindu Nawanjana ) on Nov 15th , and since then I made a few additions to his portfolio and resubmitted it today and was declined. Was the article declined because the data about the candidate is not enough or is it because of the less references made by external sources?
I have also seen many stubs with relatively less information approved by wiki.
Also , any guidance on getting the article accepted would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You Johnmark2384 (talk) 09:29, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Johnmark2384 That another article exists does not necessarily mean that it was "approved" by anyone, please see other stuff exists. These articles you have seen could also be inappropriate and simply not addressed yet by a volunteer. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible in many ways to get inappropriate content past us, this cannot justify the addition of more inapprpropriate content. If you would like to help us, you can work to identify other inappropriate articles for possible action. We need the help.
- Wikipedia is not a a place to just tell about someone and what they do- you must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about this person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. What do sources say is important/significant/influential about this man? (not what he or his associates thinks is important about himself) That's what Wikipedia wants to know. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 09:43, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I am trying to publish my first article regarding World Fisheries Day. I noticed there wasn't a Wikipedia page some months ago but didn't think much of it; today, however, I decided to search extensively and confirmed there isn't a Wikipedia article yet.
So I wrote this today. I added a lot of references at first, but that seemed to trigger a refusal; therefore, I removed references that seemed unnecessary and only kept what I considered noteworthy. Can someone check if there's anything wrong with the article, please? I lack experience as this is the first time I've done it. Thanks in advance. Alucard F Tepes (talk) 11:00, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Alucard F Tepes: the draft is promotional in tone; Wikipedia articles must be written in a neutral, factual manner.
- It only cites two sources, one of which is YouTube. (It also lists, without citing, several sources, but that's not very useful as it isn't clear why they're there since they're not being cited. And not all of them are reliable.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:06, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your comment. I changed the entirety of the draft and tried to change the tone to be neutral. I removed YouTube sources and added better references, such as official reports and event announcements, while also citing them. Is there anything else I should change, add, or do? I would like any recommendations so I can improve, please. Alucard F Tepes (talk) 12:37, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Alucard F Tepes: you need to show that the subject is notable per WP:GNG, which the currently cited sources don't achieve.
- Also, there are still those six external links listed in the 'References' section without them being actually cited anywhere. Why are they there? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:47, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- From those 6 external links, 5 are cited in the draft as reference for something that I wrote, or to show where it came from. I am unsure if there is a mistake in the format I used since the links appear twice in references, but 5 of the 6 are cited.
- I am also going to research more in order to show what you are mentioning "notable per WP:GNG" I'll give an update when I do Alucard F Tepes (talk) 13:12, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I experienced a third negative review of my draft. The last reviewer didn’t leave any comment and did not reply to my questions. I am wondering, since my subject does meet four criteria of notability, why my draft still needs additional sources. It is very difficult to know how many references are enough. Also some references I used were flagged as unreliable but they do appear on another serious Wikipedia page ( on th Museum of Applied Arts of Vienna) so I don’t understand why they are not accepted on my draft. Could you please help me with this issue? I have a ph.D. and I am used to very strict, clear and transparent rules for sources reliability. Here, I feel left in the dark. Especially, I feel that the books quoted (not available online) are not considered as reliable. Although they are actually more serious sources.

17:41, 21 November 2023 review of submission by Malexof
I need help with this article. The problem is in reliable sources. But I have used Boxrec as a reliable source and saw the Boxrec as a source on the pages of other sportsmen. I filled this page by analogy with other pages already published in Wikipedia. For example, here: Iago Kiladze Why is this article approved (they used the same link on Boxrec), but mine is not? Malexof (talk) 17:41, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Malexof That another article exists does not mean that it was "approved" by anyone. You should avoid using random articles as a model that themselves could be inappropriate, and you would be unaware of it. See other stuff exists. Use good articles as a model.331dot (talk) 17:48, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Malexof: the Kiladze article was published eight years ago and never went through the AfC review process, so it wasn't "approved" in the same way. In any case, you shouldn't model your articles on existing articles, which may well have their own problems, but should instead follow the relevant guidelines applicable today.
- We need to see multiple sources that meet the WP:GNG criteria. A single source isn't enough, either to establish notability or to reliably support the contents.
- Alternatively, if you can prove (using reliable sources) that the subject meets WP:NBOXING, then that would be an alternative approach. It doesn't look like it, though? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:49, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

- Sure thing @Kimbamy. Let me go through your references one by one. Note that musical artists need to pass the WP:NMUSICIAN criteria, this means finding multiple secondary sources that are independent of Carmelo (not interviews), and provide significant coverage with discussion/debate/analysis:
- An interview, so cannot be used to establish notability.
- An interview, so cannot be used to establish notability.
- This works as a source.
- This works as a source.
- This is a WP:TRIVIALMENTION of Carmelo.
- This is a WP:TRIVIALMENTION of Carmelo.
- This works as a source.
- This is about the album, not Carmelo- it can be used to source the album but not establish notability.
- Not significant coverage.
- I think you are close to proving notability under WP:NMUSICIAN, but not quite there. If you could find a couple more independent secondary sources that discuss Carmelo I think it would get over teh line.
- My other advice is to format your sources proper, so they include the full URL, access date, author, etc. See the tutorial at WP:INTREFVE. Also your External Links section is too big, only include a max of two external links. See the policy at WP:EXTERNAL. The Discography is also unsourced, but you can use a primary source for this. The Insound Award award is also unsourced?

- @Dbolwerk rec: please understand that we don't catalogue every business and other entity that exists, merely because they exist; we publish articles on subjects with notability and encyclopaedic value. There is very little of that even suggested in this draft, and even less evidenced; hence this has been now declined three times for lack of notability. That, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with this.
- You also appear to have an external relationship with the subject, which needs to be disclosed. I will post a message on your talk page with instructions.

- Hello, Dbolwerk rec. You did not even bother to wikilink to Touchstone Energy Cooperative, which might have offered readers some context. But far more important is that vast swathes of your draft are entirely unreferenced, violating the core content policies of Verifiability and No original research. Do you expect readers to read and believe what you wrote just because you say so? A high quality encyclopedia does not work that way. Cullen328 (talk) 09:17, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Randommuzik (talk) 10:45, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- If you become notable enough to pass our criteria, then eventually someone will write a Wikipedia article about you. As it stands your draft had zero sources so does not prove notability. Qcne (talk) 10:39, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- I've a few of this WP:NMUSIC criteria, i thought I was the one who would write about me, until now. please if you can assist me in anyway I would really appreciate thank you. Randommuzik (talk) 10:33, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Randommuzik (ec) You placed your text within coding to conceal its display(though it still appears in the edit window). I removed this, but Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves, Wikipedia is interested in what independent reliable sources state about musicians that meet our notability criteria, Wikipedia is not interested in what people say about themselves. Please read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 10:13, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

- Please choose the three (and only three) best sources that prove notability under WP:NAUTHOR. The sources must be:
- - independent (not interviews)
- - reliable (not Facebook)
- - secondary (not primary) Qcne (talk) 11:25, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

14:47, 22 November 2023 review of submission by VZs76
Dear Editors,
I have recently created an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:M%C3%A1rton_Nagy), which was declined, with the editor noting (after the second submission attempt) that the article still needs further incline citations.
However, parts of the article ("Early career" and "Deputy Governor of the Hungarian National Bank") are based on the official CV of the politician, available on the official website of the European Investment Bank (https://www01.eib.org/attachments/documents/cv-marton-nagy-en.pdf). If there are no other sources to support the information (other than the info provided in the CV), what steps should I take?
Regards, VZs76 (talk) 14:47, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- @VZs76: it may well be that everything you state is supported by one or another of the cited sources, but if you don't tell us (by way of citations) which source it is, that doesn't really help the reader verify the information, as they would need to check each of the sources for each of the statements. As a bare minimum, each paragraph should have at least one citation, as otherwise it is unsupported, and a long paragraph almost certainly should have more than one. The reader should never need to ask "where did that information come from?"
- If you use the same source more than once, you should ideally use named references, to avoid inflating the 'References' section unnecessarily; see WP:NAMEDREFS for advice. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:25, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the tip, the article has been recently published! VZs76 (talk) 16:57, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear Help desk, my article on Alfons Zeileis was declined saying it contained not sufficient secondary sources. In fact I cited a lot of independent newspapers with reviews on exhibitions in which Alfons Zeileis is reviewed alone or alongside other painters. Why are independent newspapers not secondary sources? To make it clear, that the references are not just archived material of Alfons Zeileis but secondary sources about him, I added the explanation to the sources. Will this be sufficient? There are many more references about Alfons Zeileis as about for example his fellow student Giorgio de Chirico. I will be grateful for any hint. GertrudKahl (talk) 15:19, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- @GertrudKahl: it may be that there are sufficient secondary sources included, but if so, they are quite well masked. For example, ref #12 reads
Review of the exhibition with mention of Alfons Zeileis in the newspaper Der Rheinpfälzer 18 October 1927 and Landauer Anzeiger 21 October 1927 both in reviews about artists: Newspaper clippings ordered together by Karl Graf, Pfälzer Landesbibliothek Speyer.
- You have to read all of that to realise that it mentions a newspaper called Der Rheinpfälzer. It should be formatted using the correct template, {{cite news}} or {{cite magazine}}.
- And even then, it doesn't really provide sufficient detail to allow the precise source to be identified; please see WP:OFFLINE for advice on correctly citing offline sources.
- And yes, some of the sources clearly aren't published secondary sources, eg. #38 and #40.
- HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Please note that "An exchange of letters" is NOT a suitable source neither is " List by Anneliese Zeileis, the daughter of Alfons Zeileis." sources need to be published. Theroadislong (talk) 15:41, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

: Which independent source is cited for this information.which is why Luna loves everything to do with Italy
: 1) non sequitur. 2) Which independent source is cited for this information? 3)Why does it belong in an encyclopaedia article about her?She is keen on music, dance and show business
: Which independent source is cited for this information? 2) Why does it use the colloquial "keen on" rather than a more formal phrase. ColinFine (talk) 20:24, 22 November 2023 (UTC)- It's a right question. There is an answer - such information is from https://www.esc-plus.com/downloads/handbook-jesc-2022.pdf and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WySij6WyPus. If I add these references to several paragraphs then I duplicate them in the reference list. Alexandrsashin (talk) 21:10, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Her father is of Italian descent and this influenced her preferences in life and creativity.
- Is it better?

It's a Professional Football Club from India,and why can't create a page. Rahmanibnusaid (talk) 18:05, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Rahmanibnusaid: because there is no evidence that the club is notable, which is why this draft has been rejected. Not only that, but the subject has gone through no fewer than three AfD discussions, so you would need to make a particularly compelling case for an article to be accepted. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:19, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- My dear Sir,How can you say the club doesn't exist. That Club currently plays in our State League and I provided it's website and else details, How much more should I need to provide, can u explain how is it possible. Rahmanibnusaid (talk) 18:33, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Rahmanibnusaid No one has said that the club does not exist. Not everything that exists merits a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is not a database of things that exist, there are criteria for inclusion. As noted, there has been three deletion discussions regarding articles about this club, so you will have to build a very good case that the notability criteria for organizations has been met. You haven't done that here. You'll need to move on from this topic. 331dot (talk) 19:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
