03:00:53, 15 April 2019 review of submission by Chbang


I am requesting another review, since I asked for advice and made corrections , from the advice given (see note from Alpha3031 below) Chbang (talk) 03:00, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

03:00:53, 15 April 2019 review of submission by Chbang

Draft:The Clap (band) Chbang (talk · contribs) (TB) Draft:The Clap (band) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) I am requesting a review of this wiki, because it is my first wiki and I'm still learning the rules. I believe The Clap (band) is a notable topic and should be reviewed and accepted in the wikipedia.

Do I have too many citations that are considered "not notable". Can I keep those citations, as I feel they are important to the topic? Chbang (talk) 11:50, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Chbang, I think the main problem is that those sources aren't reliable for neutral information (not fact checked or trying to sell you stuff), so any information based on them may be suspect. Having too many of those also clutters things up badly. I'd suggesting picking 3 or 4 of the best/most important, maximum, and moving them to the external links section.

05:13:16, 15 April 2019 review of submission by Tamir.te


The artist page I am trying to add has no international reference, yet. Many other Mongolian bands, and artists have English wiki page with no verified reference. Why is this not getting approved?

Tamir.te (talk) 05:13, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamir.te: - the rules about notability have changed immensely over time, and it can take a long time for us to apply it to all the older articles. Many of our newly deleted articles are for musicians and bands that do not have references and were only allowed in when the rules were less strict. The fact that there are still articles with poor sourcing does not mean we should allow others - the page WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is a good explanation of why.

07:43:33, 15 April 2019 review of submission by 27.96.95.197


I am still unable to find what is causing Wikipedia to delete this article? Khalid Salamat is well known name in Marketing Industry in UAE.

27.96.95.197 (talk) 07:43, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@27.96.95.197: - the article was rejected because there were not suitable sources - your two sources are either written by the subject or is acting as a marketing statement about him. Please have a look at this for the types of sources we prefer. Nosebagbear (talk) 16:34, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

07:45:01, 15 April 2019 review of submission by Madoro Ishii

Draft:Yōmei Bunko

I was told that the submission was not adequately supported by reliable sources. Is that because the references were in Japanese? Should I put English texts or if I omit the Japanese words and put only the reference titles in English, it won't make problems. Please let me know. Madoro Ishii (talk) 07:45, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@CAPTAIN MEDUSA: As the reviewer of this translation of https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%99%BD%E6%98%8E%E6%96%87%E5%BA%AB, would you elaborate on your decline so that the submitter can take corrective action? --Worldbruce (talk) 03:51, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Can you import all the sources from the Japanese Wiki and remove the 'edit' from the page, alonside [1].___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 12:34, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Madoro Ishii: The Japanese version of the article has five more inline citations, numbers 14-18. The reviewer would like you to copy those notes or references to the relevant places in the translated article. They may be in Japanese, but it would be good to at least add an English translation in parentheses afterwards, as you've done with some of the other references. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:08, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

08:26:38, 15 April 2019 review of draft by Alislaura


My article was rejected because it didn't show sufficient coverage of the subject by secondary sources. Meanwhile the first image of a black hole has made headlines around the world. Many of the newspaper articles (FAZ, reporting on the findings make reference to the BlackHoleCam project, as do the scientific papers published in Astrophysical Journal Letters. Would these references be sufficient to remove the reasons for declining the article?

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ab0ec7#references https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wissen/weltraum/schwarzes-loch-zwei-jahre-bis-zum-bild-16134544.html http://www.prometheus-tv.de/news.php?id=22324 https://www.sardinienintim.com/2019/04/12/erstes-foto-schwarzes-loch-sarde-nuoro-chef-black-hole-cam-astrophysiker/ https://dailygalaxy.com/2019/04/the-black-hole-cam-technology-a-one-way-door-out-of-our-universe/

Thanks for your help.

Alislaura (talk) 08:26, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alislaura. No, these references would not be sufficient. There is only a small amount of information about Black Hole Cam in each source, and much of that information is the same in each source. There isn't enough information to add more than a sentence or two to what Event Horizon Telescope already says about the project, "key theoretical aspects of the project were developed in the EU-funded Black Hole Cam project, lead by Falcke, Michael Kramer, and Luciano Rezzolla." --Worldbruce (talk) 04:19, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

09:30:01, 15 April 2019 review of draft by EnochLi


EnochLi (talk) 09:30, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

why is'nt it going to review?

@EnochLi: - it isn't going to review because it isn't even attempting to be the encyclopedic article that is necessary for wikipedia - instead this is more like a short review essay on mods. In any case, we have an article not just on Minecraft but Minecraft mods - however, your edits will need to be better constructed to remain - I'd advise suggesting them on the talk page first.

Wikipedia has essentially no interest in anything you or I want to say about anything. It is only interested in what reliable sources have published about a subject. Wikipedia is also not a place for "how to do something". Theroadislong (talk) 11:13, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

10:34:47, 15 April 2019 review of submission by Waeltely


Hi,

Rayshad Rauf is an emerged playback singer who has entered in the malayalam film industry in India. He is also popular now among the expat community in the UAE for his consistent artistic profile and is an example to many who work hard for a living, parallel keeping their passion alive. His achievement of entry into the professional movie industry is a must showcase not only because he is now a playback singer but also an inspiration to those who struggle to keep their passion alive.

Please refer to his latest news link on Gulf News - https://gulfnews.com/uae/how-a-dubai-boy-became-a-viral-malayalam-playback-singer-1.62906164

Please reconsider and help publish his profile as this will help us achieve in communicating positive inspiration about like wise relevant individuals in future as well.

Thank you. Waeltely (talk) 10:34, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is not yet sufficiently notable to have a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is not the venue for promoting him. Theroadislong (talk) 11:10, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:08:28, 15 April 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Hairydreams


Greetings,

My name is Pooya Khorramyar and I am publishing my music under the pseudonym of Hairydreams. I already wrote the article in my sandbox and cited it as much as possible. Even for the websites that are no longer alive, I took my time and found the specific link form the Web Archive Organisation and linked them respectively.

However, my music is only published on the online platforms (such as Spotify and iTunes), and Wikipedia does not recognise them as a valid citation.

I highly appreciate if you help me to edit my article in the way that it be acceptable for Wikipedia and I don't face any issues of validity in the future.

Having this article on Wikipedia is very important to me as it gives my fans a credible reference to refer to.

Regards, Hairydreams (talk) 17:08, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

17:10:24, 15 April 2019 review of submission by Scharrlib


I'm hoping to get some help with regards to my draft page for ScHARR - The School of Health and Related Research. The last entry says I have zero chance of getting my page published, but this conflicts with previous messages asking me to edit my page and remove any elements which may seem like advertising, which I now understand. I worked on the page, so am a little concerned why it was rejected after the first reviews did not reject it. The reviewer said that: "departments are generally not considered notable unless they have made significant contributions to their field". The School of Health related Research is as notable as York's Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_for_Reviews_and_Dissemination In the 25 years since it started (same year as CRD) it has published over 10,000 peer reviewed academic journal articles and is a world leader in the areas of Health Technology Assessment and Health Economics and helps form the NHS decision making. We are larger and more successful academically than some of the departments currently listed under Sheffield, so not sure why we can't be accepted. Also, we are a school not a department, so I think that fits in with Wikipedia's standards. Any help would be really appreciated.

08:30:47, 16 April 2019 review of draft by Kyrawalenga

I would like to know what I can do to make this article better. The feedback was that it reads like an advertisement but I don’t see how. It‘s facts about a brand new company that was formed in March with a merger between two companies that both have Wikipedia pages... Please advise me as to what I can do! Or if I should start with a completely new article. Thank you.

Kyrawalenga (talk) 08:30, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kyrawalenga. Start with independent, reliable sources that contain in-depth information. An example for this company is [1]. The company is too new for much to have been written about it in arms-length sources, so set the topic aside and revisit it in a year or two, by which time more sources may be available.
Creating new articles is one of the most difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating things a novice Wikipedian can attempt. There are millions of easier and better ways to improve the encyclopedia. See Wikipedia:Community portal for how to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:54, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Robertkove: - hi there.
All your current sources are primary - facebook, youtube, soundcloud etc - they don't demonstrate the notability of the individual. You need in-depth secondary sources. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:36, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RobinEMiller, are you in any way affiliated with the hospital about which you are writing? It is unusual for an individual contributor to refer to him/herself as "we", as it implies shared use. SITH (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,I like to see if another writer can use the sources I have provided to complete the article I drafted. I have a conflict of interest as the article is about a family member.

TomBaileyMusic, I note that you have blanked your draft, please can you confirm that you want it deleting, as usually blanking a draft is taken to mean you want it to be deleted. If not, please ensure you state your conflict of interest on your userpage. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 14:45, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Will0596 (talk) 03:13, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]


I have made some updates and there have been some references added to this.

Hi Will0596. The references you added are a self-published blog (by a blogger, moreover, who was financially compensated for blogging about AfroSeeds), and a group blog. Such blogs are not reliable sources and may not be used as references. There don't appear to be any independent reliable sources about the topic, so no amount of editing will make the draft acceptable.

Request on 03:29:16, 17 April 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Iokepang


I believe that the previous draft was rejected. Hence this is a completely different draft and not a duplicate.

Iokepang (talk) 03:29, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Iokepang, you can still work on the original draft. Just because it has been rejected doesn't mean you can't still work on it and then ask for advice if you think the reviewer's feedback will change after you've made such edits. If it's on the same topic, it's considered the same draft: please stick to one page per topic. SITH (talk) 14:44, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

75.157.110.40 (talk) 04:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

hello,

I have written up about International Sail and Power Academy recently and was rejected by Wikipedia. I have written about International Sail and Power Academy as "fact based" and from "neutral" point of view from their website to emphasize the brief history and what ISPA offers as an certifications. I am very surprised to hear that it sounded like "advertisement" and "Conflict of Interest" to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia has pointed out that my article was in "conflict of interest". Is this because I have used company email address to create an Wikipedia account? Would it made difference if I have used my personal email address?

I have read other sailing organization's Wikipedia articles and I believe majority of them are written in "advertisement" and shows large amount of "conflict of interest" in my opinion.

Please advise what exactly needs to be changed to be published on Wikipedia.

Thank you 75.157.110.40 (talk) 04:58, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

75.157.110.40 (talk) 04:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ISPA2018. You may be right that articles about other sailing organizations are promotional. There are many poor articles on Wikipedia. That isn't a good excuse to create more of them. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why.
To have any chance at all of being accepted here, Draft:International Sail and Power Academy needs to be scrapped and rebuilt based mainly on arms-length reliable sources, not the company's website, and not at all on a site that provides product/service reviews for pay. It doesn't matter in the slightest what email account you use, but editors who like yourself have a conflict of interest are almost never able to write neutrally, never able to produce an encyclopedia article. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:48, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Valibrarian (talk) 20:06, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Valibrarian: - hi there, I believe that the reviewer, at the time, was reasonable to decline it - though perhaps for a different reason than that used. The edits you've made are at least a reasonable case for inclusion, however a "true" re-review wouldn't be in order (as it wasn't wrong). As such you need to resubmit it (blue button in the red box) and it will be reviewed in time. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:08, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

21:46:39, 17 April 2019 review of draft by LorriBrown


LorriBrown (talk) 21:46, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, I submitted a draft article LorriBrown/Joan Almond to AfC yesterday and it was rejected by @I dream of horses: (due to conflict with another Joan Almond draft article). I am hopeful that I can get this submission re-considered for the following reasons: 

   the LorriBrown/JoanAlmond article is well researched with more content than the MarkZusab/JoanAlmond article at this juncture;
   the MarkZusab/JoanAlmond aricle does not appear to have been submitted for AfC review as indicated by  @I dream of horses in her rejection;
   the articles where created almost on the same date;
   I am hopeful that MarkZusab (and have reached out on their talk page) will be amiable to collaborating on the LorriBrown/JoanAlmond article and help to develop and contribute new content to this article - rather than duplicating the research already accomplished in the LorriBrown/JoanAlmond article; and
   it is unclear if MarkZusab will direct post his version of the JoanAlmond article to AfC or post direct to the main space and it is unclear when they may be ready to do this.

I do understand that the LorriBrown/JoanAlmond version of the article may not be perfect but; however, I do think it is a good start and may be more constructive to proceed rather than to transfer content over the the MarkZusab/JoanAlmond article if this decision holds.

04:23:44, 18 April 2019 review of submission by Philosodad


In what way are the sources for this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kelly_Weinersmith not independent or reliable? One is a recognized media outlet and the other is a University page. Neither is related to the subject directly or to me. If these are not independent or reliable, what is?

Philosodad (talk) 04:23, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Philosodad. The university page is reliable, but not independent, because the information on it was supplied by Weinersmith. So it doesn't help establish notability. Space.com is independent and reliable, but not sufficient (not adequate support). Multiple reviews of creative work are expected. From the edits you've made since posing your question, I see that you're already tackling the problems the reviewer pointed out. I've left a welcome basket of links on your talk page. They may help you continue to improve the draft while waiting for the next review. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:25, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've made necessary changes. Please re-review! I've also included more than enough references. Ankurshva (talk) 08:39, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ankurshva: hi. Unfortunately, I am sticking with another editor's rejection of the topic in February, and with the 2 previous declines of the topic as being non-notable. The draft also requires major cleanup; it is not written in proper encyclopedic prose, contains an essay-like "Introduction" section, and many of the references cited are either trivial or duplicates of each other. In addition, you should read WP:PAID for how to correctly disclose any paid connection to the company, assuming you have one. Thank you. SamHolt6 (talk) 16:31, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SamHolt6: Where can I find some help regarding it?
@Ankurshva: When you write on discussion pages (but never when editing articles), sign your posts with four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. When you publish your changes, this will automatically insert a signature with your username and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when. Moreover, notification templates don't work without a signature. With regard to your question, you may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:07, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What part of my submission for "System call interposition" doesn't qualify for a Wikipedia article? There are hundreds of papers written about it: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22system+call+interposition%22&btnG= It's an important topic that I was surprised didn't have an article already, which is why I created one.

71.202.0.54 (talk) 18:21, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@71.202.0.54: Thank you for your contribution. Novice Wikipedians writing their first articles are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable sources, which contain significant coverage of their topic. The draft cites one. To gain an understanding of which sources to use, I recommend that you spend some time at Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:57, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why did this get rejected?

Hi Musiclover849. The reason the draft was rejected is given in the pink box on the draft and a corresponding mustard yellow box on your talk page. Those link to further information. More specifically, the draft fails to show that the subject meets the notability criteria for musicians, and in the reviewer's evaluation, no amount of editing can fix that problem. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:16, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to publish this article for a streamer of the name DCmax1k. It was rejected because the topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion. What would make this better? DCmax1k (talk) 04:29, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DCmax1k. Rejection is the reviewer's way of saying that no amount of editing can make the draft acceptable. Please understand that unlike Facebook or LinkedIn, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to write about yourself or your friends. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If and when Dylan Caldwell has done something that is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, then sooner or later someone unconnected to him will create an article about him. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:24, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So terrible interface. "You asked why this is so complicated. The reason is because this is an encyclopedia, and material in it must be verified by independent reliable sources. You should not submit unreferenced drafts. If you have substantial 3rd party independent published reliable sources, add them and resubmit. If not, wait until you do. In the meantime, you might like to learn how things aredone hereby adding sourced information--together with the references-- to existing articles. DGG ( talk ) 09:42, 19 April 2019 (UTC) "

I am unclear why this article was rejected. If the article was incorrectly entered or if wikipedia finds the article not noteworthy enough? The article is identifying a podcast about tennis with 30 episodes including guests who have been the #1 tennis players in the world and won all of the major tournaments. The show appears on all of the major podcast distribution sites (google, itunes, spotify, stitcher etc). please let me know either what i am doing wrong in inputting it or what i can do to make the show more relevant in the eyes of wikipedia. thank you so much.

Mistertuft (talk) 18:04, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mistertuft: - hi there.
If you click on the blue words in the reject box it will explain things in much more detail, but I'll give the summary below.
Notability isn't a judgement of importance or even true relevance. It's a judgement on acceptable levels of secondary coverage (and occasionally other criteria) - sources must be "in-depth, independent, reliable, secondary". Neither of the two sources currently in the article would meet all of these criteria.
I'd advise the following:
  1. Copy it back to your sandbox
  2. Track down 3 sources (up to 6 is fine - don't "spam" the page) that cover it in-depth, preferably with at least 2 as reviews, that have no reason to be positive towards it
  3. Add them in
  4. Look at Article Wizard - don't just click through, read each page and think "does this apply to my work".
  5. Only once you're confident, resubmit

12:35:18, 20 April 2019 review of draft by AVMarte


Thank you. I just got the feedback of declining my draft. I really do not understand, why my references are not secondary sources who are independent e.g. a very renewed newspaper in Germany (WELT), or doit-it smart, a serious Swiss state-funded platform; or zu-daily - a journal of the Zeppelin University. I could add reference from the, again very well know TV-Channel 3 Sat on our films - see: https://pressetreff.3sat.de/programmwochen/programmwoche/12/3sat/19.03.2019/19.03.2019/bc/zeige/168a1805-1111-1111-d4ec-fe774c2d2d8a/ https://www.abendblatt.de/kultur-live/tv-und-medien/article212954005/Seychellen-Ein-Meer-von-Farben.html https://www.steinbeis-sibe.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Marte-Angelica-Kurzvita.pdf https://systemische-gesellschaft.de/fachleute/angelica-marte/

17:04:25, 20 April 2019 review of submission by Cardenthusiast14

Hi Team! I have a bit of a dream to get this wiki page published about a growing a card game that's growing in popularity in Vancouver, Canada.I submitted the article and it was declined so I wanted some insight on what I need to do to resubmit it and get it approved!

The reason the editor gave for declining it was because of a lack of sources, which I am a little unclear on how I need to make it more robust so any help here would be much appreciated. The article has three sources, one of which is to a third party site where the card game is directly mentioned thus speaking to it's credibility. Cardenthusiast14 (talk) 17:04, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cardenthusiast14. Wikipedia is not the place to "get the word out" about anything. It aims to have articles only about things that have already gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, as evidenced by significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources (think books, magazines, and newspapers; or their web versions).
Draft:Cactus cites two Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia, being user-generated, is not a reliable source, and should not be used as a reference. The draft also has an external link, which is not allowed in the text. Perhaps you intended it as a reference. It's about a different game, so it doesn't help show notability. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:27, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

18:03:48, 20 April 2019 review of draft by I edit things that come to mind


Hello, I have a question regarding a warning that I have on the draft that I have submitted. It says "Warning: The page Fuji TACOM redirects to Draft:Fuji TACOM. Please ensure it is not a copy or that this page is located to the correct title.". So the backstory of this draft is that I have created a page that wasn't a draft called "Fuji TACOM". When I realized my mistake by trying to submit it I got a message to move the page as a draft as it is misplaced, and so I did. In regards to the warning above, is there anything I should do further or should I just leave the draft as it is? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

I edit things that come to mind (talk) 18:03, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I edit things that come to mind. Thanks for asking. Cross-namespace moves can be tricky. By default, they leave behind a redirect from the old title in the old namespace. But redirects from main space to Draft space are not allowed. I've requested the speedy deletion of the unwanted redirect. When it's deleted, probably within a few hours, that will have the side effect of making the warning you're seeing go away. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:21, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
