Yara Korkomaz (talk) 14:06, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yara Korkomaz, Wikipedia isn't a social media site where people create profiles, it's an encyclopedia where articles are written about topics (including people) who are adequately notable, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. Pi (Talk to me!) 14:15, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

how can i create an information page here for me please i need some details !! ?

Yara Korkomaz Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves or merely provide information. We have articles about people who meet the special Wikipedia definition of notability, typically written by independent editors completely unconnected with the subject. Autobiographical articles are strongly discouraged. If you just want to tell the world about yourself, you should use social media. 331dot (talk) 14:39, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yara Korkomaz: Please see the responses already posted above. Asking the same question over and over will not change the answer. Wikipedia is not about you. --Finngall talk 16:35, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yara Korkomaz It is not true that "all" singers have Wikipedia articles. Only those that meet the Wikipedia definition of a notable singer- and as already stated, those articles are typically written by independent editors. 331dot (talk) 16:40, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

16:45:30, 5 September 2020 review of draft by Willairwin


I asked before, on Sept. 4, but perhaps my question did not go through.

ON August 4 my article (a bio) entitled Walter Paul Blass was rejected because it had improper or inadequate footnotes. The article does include footnotes. Can you please tell me how they are improper or inadequate? Thank you very much.

18:43:14, 5 September 2020 review of draft by VirdiOnline


VirdiOnline (talk) 18:43, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello editors, i have created a wiki page about an indian Punjabi music producer Named Sukhpal Sukh. He is working in industry since 1990, while creating wiki page i have added as much reference i can find on internet, less information available on net about Sukhpal Sukh is just due to his lack of social links, activities. That's why he was still unknown for most of the new generation. My motive to make his page was just to share information and work he done in past for music scene.

I just want to know what i need to do that this article could move to main space. As these are the only available information and links published by indian news agencies and web portals which i have add as references. I need help from editors i don't want that a legendary artist stay unknown for most of audience of new age.

VirdiOnline References do not need to be online or free to access(it helps, but is not required). Print-only sources are fine as long as they are available to the public(documents in private hands inaccessible to the public are not acceptable). Please understand that Wikipedia is not for merely sharing information. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a subject, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of (in this case) a notable creative professional. If this person does not have significant coverage in reliable sources(again, they need not be online), he would not merit an article at this time. If you just want to tell the world about this person, you should use a personal blog/website or social media. 331dot (talk) 19:14, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What can I do?

03:49:33, 6 September 2020 review of submission by Neelkanth99


the reason's for rejection  is completely misinterpreted and misunderstood .

Question 1 ) : Blatant self promotion created by the subject himself. - > For your kind information Subject is no more.

It's not a self promotion and nothing is promoted here for marketing or trying to grab attention .This page was completely re-written without any self praising and just the neutral facts about the subject , The Subject is my father who was a Mathematician and the subject is no more and the facts gathered is by the author who is the son of the subject because the autthor of this page has these information .

Reason 2 : Neutral information mentioned.

This page was written only with the references to the research work done by him and documented and no peacock words or praising of subject anywhere . Please mention if any , I dont see anything referenced in praising of the subject.


Symbol opinion vote.svg Comment: This page appears to have been written to praise its subject rather than to describe the subject neutrally. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view Neelkanth99 (talk) 03:49, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

22:51:03, 6 September 2020 review of submission by Neelkanth99


Dear Sir/Madam

I would like to clarify few things here about this article

1. I found the reason mentioned for rejection as "Blatant self promotion created by the subject himself." which is totally wrong , as the subject himself is dead and no more , and there is nothing here to promote or gain financial or marketing or monetory benefit out of the subject or subject himself.

2 . This article was created by me ( Son of the Subject), the reason for confusion is that my name resembles similar to my father(Subject) as my father's name is my surname ( Last Name) and the first name is my grandfather's name which is the surname of my father . So it was misinterpreted or misunderstood that the subject is praising himself .

3. I (Author of the article) would like to reiterate that there is no reason for me to gain any benefit here , Its purely the facts/publications collected on behalf of my father and his contribution to the field of Mathematics . I have just listed and organized in a way without adding any praising or peacock words on the subject . 

I have taken all measures to write the article neurally without praising the subject in any way and just menetioned his work on the facts collected from various reliable sources.

 In case , if you think that there is some praising words about the subject anywhere , Kindly mention those , I will completely remove those words. Please don't reject for that reason .

Kindly consider and re-review the article and allow to publish. Appreciate your help!

Thanks Neel

Hello, I just wrote an article (I translated it from the equivalent English article on Wikipedia) and I want it to be published as the Persian page of the same subject (which is Krater). I think that my article has been published as an English article. I have no idea what to do to correct it. Thank you for your help. Arashia1414 (talk) 01:20, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Arashia1414. It looks like you've figured out that the place to write Persian articles is not here, but on the Persian-language Wikipedia, specifically fa:کراتر. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:30, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I received a notification that the article needed some more work, so I've given it a go. This is my first time using Wikipedia, so I'd really appreciate some support when you have a moment. It would be handy for this charity to get published on Wikipedia

WikiPageMan (talk) 09:12, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiPageMan Your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about a subject, and is not concerned with if the presence of an article helps the subject or not(it often does not). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization.
If you are associated with this charity, you will need to review the conflict of interest and paid editing policies and make some required declarations("paid editing" applies to unpaid volunteers or interns). 331dot (talk) 09:17, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Thanks for the quick reply. I added the "paid" to the talk section as requested, as I am volunteering my time to do this. I hope this can help get the article published

WikiPageMan (talk) 09:30, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft is just blatant advertising and gives no indication that the topic passes WP:NCORP so it has been rejected, it will not be considered further. Theroadislong (talk) 09:43, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WikiPageMan (ec) Thank you for complying with the required policies, but it will not necessarily help the draft get into the encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself, but in what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about it with significant coverage (not brief mentions, press releases, staff interviews, the organization website, etc.). As I indicated, the rejection means the draft will not be reconsidered at this time. Feel free to show your superiors this message. 331dot (talk) 09:48, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

13:35:32, 7 September 2020 review of submission by Reactor99

Hi there, Please, can you understand in detail why our page was declined as it contents only information about the company as many other pages which Wikipedia has already? Reactor99 (talk) 13:35, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reactor99 If by "our" you mean that you work for this company, you are required by the Terms of Use to make the paid editing declaration.
You draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that it will not be considered further. It is a blatant advertisement for your company, or more specifically it reads as a social media style page. Wikipedia is not social media, it is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia Wikipedia only summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia has no interest in what a company wants to say about itself.
Please read other stuff exists; as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. This is why each article is judged on its own merits. If you are aware of other blatant advertisement articles, feel free to help us out and point them out. 331dot (talk) 14:11, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:33:45, 7 September 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Nearlyevil665


Draft article on Ray Cornbill declined by Padavalamkuttanpilla on grounds that subject doesn't meet notability criteria.

Ray Cornbill served as the head coach for the United States national rugby union team.

Per WP:NRU, A rugby union person is presumed notable if they have played for, coached, or administered: A "High Performance Union" at any time.

The United States national rugby union team is on the list of High Performance Unions.

The draft article has four solid references that confirm Ray Cornbill is former head coach, one of them from EPSN, which reads: New USA head coach Duncan Hall has named former USA head coach Ray Cornbill as his assistant joining Michael DeJong on the staff.

Looks like a clear-cut case of notability to me, but requesting assistance just in case I'm missing something.

Dear editor,

Thank you very much for reviewing this item. However, I have some questions need your kind assistance.

First, I think I have edited this item with some published results from Nature, Science or American Chemical Society publishers for last version. However, it had been declined and the comments claimed that wiki does not need that so called pseudo references. Therefore, may I ask more exact question that, for the current item, what kind of reference can be say a "real" needed citing. Or which exact one has what kind of issue. I read so many other accepted chemists wiki items, references even also included their own research results, which means they are in the publication as the author. This reference can also be regarded as not neutral at all.

Second, I think what I edited item is nothing related with any bias point of view. Is it possible to show one detail example to explain, which part is not Wiki form?

Thanks your time reading.

21:38:17, 7 September 2020 review of draft by Edward Myer


Hello, and thank you for your time. I need help understanding why the article I submitted was declined for inclusion in wikipedia. I included multiple reliable source references( Independent of the subject) to validate the subjects notablity. Those references included references to the subjects notable achievements and affiliation with other notable artist in Hip Hop music already include in Wikipedia. Was this article fairy reviewed or was it treated with malice because the subject is a Hip Hop artist. I know each article is subject to each reviewers subjective view, but hopefully not to their prejudice. Please indicate to me how I can fix this article so it can become included. I'm confused, according to wikipedia notability guidelines I did everything correctly, and the subject is notable.

Thank you for your time and diligence.

22:05:39, 7 September 2020 review of submission by Calvinfoss


I was told to pick the three best sources for demonstrating notability in the Article for Creation: Kurt Kerns (WP:THREE). I did not re-read all the sources that I had compiled before I picked three sources for review (I mostly picked them at random), and thus, the Article was Rejected because it seemed like the strongest sources did not demonstrate notability. I am requesting a re-review of the AfC because I have re-read the sources and am offering three different sources that indeed show that this AfC meets the WP:notability criteria. The sources are the following:

Ref 4. https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2007/01/15/focus36.html
Ref 10. https://stlouiscnr.com/v-three-studios-designs-new-facility-for-the-voice-of-the-navajo-nation/
Ref 21. https://aspiremetro.com/thirsty-planet-brewing-company-triples-operations-opening-new-facility/

These sources fulfill the criteria of the WP:AUTHOR criteria within the notability guidelines as Kurt Kerns is a notable architect, especially from his work with V Three Studios, and would be in the category of notable Creative professionals.

Thank you for your consideration!

Sorry to clarify, does this mean one of you will re-review the AfC: Kurt Kerns? I believe it currently says "Rejected." Any information would be great, and I appreciate the work that you guys are doing! Calvin Foss (talk) 21:58, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Calvin Foss. I tagged it "REJECTED" because if I came upon it at AfD I would WP:!vote "delete". I consider that failing the WP:GNG to be a higher level judgement than meeting a notability subguideline, but others might disagree. Do you think the subject meets WP:AUTHOR? I suggest you lead the way and explain how the subject meets WP:AUTHOR at Draft talk:Kurt Kerns#Does the draft meet WP:AUTHOR?. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:20, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

23:07:45, 7 September 2020 review of draft by JNW21 885


looking for help in understanding why my page hasn't been reviewed since July for submission approval? Thank you.

JNW21 885 (talk) 23:07, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JNW21 885: Hi there, it's Wikipedia's page, not yours. The answer to your question is found at the bottom of the draft: "Review waiting, please be patient. This may take 2 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 3,351 pending submissions waiting for review." I note that all three reviewers in the past noted that the subject's notability had not been properly established. Have you read our General Notability Guideline? Since the last decline, the changes you made were: some cosmetic stuff; you swapped Newsbreak for a Yahoo press release (which would not qualify as "independent of the subject"); you added a Fox News piece by her, not about her, which wouldn't do anything to establish notability; the Yahoo News video is by her, not about her. You added a Medium.com interview, which is still dependent on the subject, i.e. not independent. This does nothing for establishing notability. I have no idea if Metropolitan magazine is a notable publication, but this too looks like an interview piece. The bottom line here, is that TV personalities may have PR companies that exist to get the subject more familiarity among the public, but these PR moves don't translate to notability. When the subject is notable, PR won't be necessary, and independent entities will write about her without provocation or participation. Please don't resubmit this article for community review until you can definitively establish that she meets our notability criteria, as these constant resubmissions just drain volunteer time. Further, if you have a conflict of interest, like knowing the subject or working for her, or being related to her, or being her, you shouldn't be editing this article anyway, for obvious ethical reasons, and because people with conflicts of interest have difficulty writing objectively about the subject they are conflicted with. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:44, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

how to improve that article? I will start over again after receiving your advice. thanks Trangtrini (talk) 07:43, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Trangtrini If you have additional comment, please edit this existing section, instead of creating new sections. I'm sorry, but you will only be wasting your own time and that of others if you continue to pursue this. No amount of editing can change the fact that this person does not meet the definition of a notable singer.

can you show the difference between my article to the random article I randomly found here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Moon_(singer) - sorry I just wanna figure it out how to work out with this submission thing.

Should I remove group activities/ keep only individual song/activities to make it looks independent comparing to the group page?

@Trangtrini: Please see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Wikipedia is a volunteer-driven project, and its possible for unsiutable articles to go undetected, even for years. I can't read korean, so I am unable to give an assentment of that article's inclusion. Please note that imdb.com and tumblr are commonly regarded as unreliable.

My article has been submitted a few times and is denied every time. I have only used blogs and articles from secondary sources and only state facts about the nonprofit. Reviewers have said that my draft is too much like an advertisement but yet i am only including information from my secondary sources. here is my draft if you have a moment please check it out: MidwayUSA Foundation I'm not sure what else to do, i have even looked at pages such as St Jude Children's Research Hospital which is a very well known nonprofit and their wiki page is full of primary sources straight from their website, and it's full of opinions which i thought arent supposed to be on wiki pages?

Rileypk97 (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rileypk97 The draft needs to do more than just tell about the organization. It must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization(please review). Almost all of your sources seem to be press release-type stories or announcements of routine business. These are not acceptable for establishing notability. Note that we judge each draft on its own merits- problems in other similar articles does not mean that problems in yours can be tolerated; see other stuff exists. As this is a volunteer project, it is possible to get inappropriate content by us. We can only address what we know about. That said, primary sources are not forbidden- they simply cannot be used to establish notability. 331dot (talk) 08:17, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Caby-Hooky You have no independent reliable sources in the draft. You have some external links, but they are just that- they are not formatted as inline references for the article content. The subject does seem to be notable but it still needs to be written about in independent sources to merit a Wikipedia article.

Hi there - can you help me and tall me what I need to add/change to get this article published? Many thanks

In order to demonstrate notability, you need to provide multiple references to in-depth articles written about Mike Dye in unrelated, independent journals, magazines, books or online. If there are no sources then we can’t have an article about them. Your draft has zero independent sources, see WP:REFB for help with correctly formatting them when you find them.

I have legitimized religious practices that fall under the creationist story entailed within this article, not being "notable enough to include in Wikipedia" is an infringement of my rights to freedom of speech and religious freedoms.we are a small but really religious faction of ditheistic satanists. please re-review the article. Angelo2386 (talk) 11:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Angelo2386, in order for an article to be included in Wikipedia the topic must meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Specifically notability bust be established by significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Your rights to religious freedom and freedom of speech don't require Wikipedia to host content for you.

Angelo2386 If your religious organization has not been written about by others unaffiliated with it in published, independent reliable sources with significant coverage, it would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. No amount of editing can change that. If you just want to tell the world about your organization, you should use social media. 331dot (talk) 12:18, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets the definition of a notable company. "Significant coverage" does not include press releases, announcements of routine business transactions, staff interviews, or primary sources.

I am writing about an youtuber/idol agency. The article was declined due to unreliable source but the two sections briefly talking about its history and recent controversies all have proper source. What kind source can I added to make the article source reliable.
Another question about press release. In the case of this article where I use PR to confirm that "yes, we have this member with this name" or "yes, we have this event/album/appearance on this date". Is this bad or redundant or should I not include those detail at all. Feking83 (talk) 15:22, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The 3 references I gave are actually 3 books published 40years ago. 3.a. The 1st reference is actually a book in a library with ISBN number: ISBN 0-620-03994-9.1979. This is a 1st class reference of a book where hundreds of thousands were printed and sold. 3.b. The 2nd reference is also a book in Cape Town , called Dianoetic methodology.1972 3.c. The 3rd reference is also a book in SA National Library: Claassen, J.P.D (1983). Dianoetic Learning Program.

4. His research is about to be obliterated and is a very important discovery, which I feel must not be lost to the world. (I personally has the 2nd and 3rd books in my house library and can give you some .JPG pictures if needed) Even if you can help me list it under another Wikipedia heading, this will also be greatly appreciated.

Hi Anonymous 1908, the article does not demonstrate that the subject is notable. Notability needs to be established by the subject having significant coverage in reliable sources. At the moment the only sources on the article are google searches (which have no value as a source), and the subject's own profiles on Spotify and Pinterest, which are not independent of the source and so can't establish notability.
