Hi, I would appreciate your help. I’ve been trying to get this draft published: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:James_Aaron_Ellul. My aim is to promote notable Maltese individuals in other languages. A Wikipedia page in Maltese has already been published, and I’m now working to ensure this information is available in English as well. Could you kindly offer guidance on how to improve the draft for publication?


Article Submission Declined

[edit]

Hello! I am writing in regards to Draft:Andrew Wincott. Is there anything in particular that made you decline? Some articles I cited are blocked behind paywalls but I have checked them in the past + I know that actor personally. Could it be lack of notes for his radio roles that bothered you?

Edit: There are not that many written interviews with him and when I attempted to cite a Youtube interview, Wikipedia wouldn't let me. Some information is out there, but cannot be connected to the page.

Regards Callmeclaudii (talk) 23:01, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Callmeclaudii I can't provide much outside of the criteria provided in the decline so please read through those links and my comment. As stated, interviews are not helpful. S0091 (talk) 16:08, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi once again! I found two independent sources that speak about the actor, without the actor being actually involved and sources for his credits that aren't iMDB. I also changed some of the citations. Can you please take a look? I'd like to emphasize that this is a living person, cast member of The Archers and a winner of a BAFTA, who is still professionally active. I was checking pages of his colleagues such as Cissy Jones, Tracy Wiles, Ryan Kelly (actor), Louiza Patikas and I sincerely believe Andrew Wincott meets the critieria for his own entry in the encyclopedia.
Thanks for your time, hope to hear back on the subject soon Callmeclaudii (talk) 18:49, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Callmeclaudii you have resubmitted it for review so another review will take look. S0091 (talk) 19:08, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ohh, I thought it's to let you know that the article is ready after changes. Sorry, I didn't use Wikipedia that way before Callmeclaudii (talk) 19:12, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Callmeclaudii you did not do anything wrong. I just think it's usually best to get another set of eyes for fairness. S0091 (talk) 19:16, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Andy Pickford

[edit]

The subject in question has mitigating circumstances. Subject is certainly "niche", but sits equally alongside equally niche artists such as Ian Boddy and Mark Shreeve. Where it does become unusual is that he's become notable in the -absence- if mainstream marketing, advertising, reviews, interviews etc. The artist effectively declines them, yet in spite of this has been a key figure within this movement for 40 years. It's a case of the artist themselves having become notable in spite of wanting to remain 'under the radar' so to speak. Am awaiting new source material from Belgian Prog Rock magazine "Prog Resiste" which published a full article a few years ago. To summarise: artist is certainly notable, regarded as at the top of his game in a niche genre, but actively avoids seeking publicity, which you may view as problematic, but oughtn't rule him out of consideration. Electropunk65 (talk) 17:59, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Electropunk65 Ir's not my view. The notability criteria he must meet is WP:NMUSIC. Just saying he is notable, of course, is not enough. You need reliable independent published sources that state he is "key figure" and "at the top of his game" (or similar) and go into some depth as to how/why. Also, I have not ruled him out as I did not decline the draft. I simply made a comment that some additional sources would be helpful and hopefully you will be able to find some. You might also find WP:WikiProject Albums/Sources helpful. Prog Resiste is not listed there but there are links to archives of music publications. S0091 (talk) 18:17, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Located article https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1994/Music-Week-1994-04-23.pdf

Draft:Paul Nagle

[edit]

Struggling a bit with this one. Electropunk65 (talk) 10:00, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Electropunk65 yeah, Nagle might not make the cut. I dug around but outside a mention here or there came up empty. For the newspaper articles, can you add the title of articles? I reformatted the refs and just used Title as a placeholder. Oh and I did listen to bit of Pickford last night. Dig it. And he's a funny guy. S0091 (talk) 16:35, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I should be able to add those yes. I also added a draft Paul Lawler article. I'll be very surprised if that doesn't make it - 4 movie soundtracks, numerous TV shows, worked with Halle Orchestra etc. Some impressive citations. Electropunk65 (talk) 17:08, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Electropunk65 Lawler is not going to make the cut either. IMDB and Bandcamp are not reliable sources so should not be used. De Wolf Music and The Talent Manager are primary sources and not independent so not useful for notability. The same for interviews. Decibel is not about Lawler; it's his playlist. Everything lives and dies here based sources and those sources need to meet all four criteria: reliable, secondary, independent and provide significant coverage directly about the topic. What someone has done does not matter. What matters is what others have written about them. S0091 (talk) 17:24, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll try harder with that. There ought to be sufficient out there, will keep looking. Electropunk65 (talk) 17:58, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Electropunk65 I'll give you an example, see Charlie Handsome. The draft was created in 2021 and listed most of his body of work at that time but it took until 2023 for the draft to be accepted due to sourcing and he is contemporary hit-maker. For the folks you are writing about, I think it is going to take getting access to old issues of music mags. Pickford was a stroke of luck that Internet Archive had archived mags with a couple reviews, in addition to what you already had. Also, sources do not need to be available on-line, but they do need to be archived somewhere, see WP:PUBLISHED and WP:OFFLINE. Though for obvious reasons, it's helpful when they are. S0091 (talk) 18:36, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Damn...

...there were a lot of these Schaumans, this could keep me busy for a while. :) DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I just now looked at the editor's talk page...yep and they are on a roll it appears. Thanks for taking a look at them! S0091 (talk) 16:51, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[edit]

Hi, I see you declined my draft submission Draft:Duke–NC State football rivalry on the basis that the content is already covered in the Tobacco Road (rivalry) page. I don't believe this is appropriate because there are multiple other separate rivalry pages that exist between any two of the Tobacco Road schools. See North Carolina–NC State rivalry, North Carolina–NC State football rivalry, North Carolina–Wake Forest rivalry, Carolina–Duke rivalry, Victory Bell (Duke–North Carolina) and NC State–Wake Forest rivalry. I believe you were mistaken in declining my draft. Given these above rationale, would you please reconsider your decision to decline my submission? 162.154.226.252 (talk) 21:36, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, I will not. The draft is basically a list of games and does not add much more than the main article. As far as other articles, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Probably some of those articles should be merged to Tobacco Road (rivalry). Even so, you are welcome to resubmit the draft to get another review. If you do, I strongly suggest posting a note on the draft's talk page (Draft talk:Duke–NC State football rivalry) with your arguments as to why it warrants its own article based on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, keeping in mind the fact others exists is not enough.

Update on Draft:Diriba Eticha Tujuba

[edit]

Hello S0091,

Thank you for reviewing my draft at Draft:Diriba Eticha Tujuba.

I have made the requested improvements:

- Removed LinkedIn as a source.

- Cited independent and reliable sources (Institute of International Education PDF, BlockchainHTW Conference website, Ethiopian News Agency, NewsTNT).

- Neutralized the language and removed promotional tone.

- Corrected name usage to use "Tujuba" per Wikipedia style.

The draft has been resubmitted for review.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance!

Question on Submission

[edit]

Hello, I saw you recently rejected my submission. Being a member of the credit union, I feel it is notable (it is currently the 4th largest CU in MD), but I understand if I shouldn't be submitting on its behalf being that I work there. How do current organizations who are mentioned substantially get submitted but the topic is not as mainstream (like popular figures). Thank you! Visha78 (talk) 13:46, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A quick heads up

[edit]

I was going to post this in the AfC discussion board after seeing this but it gave a notice about only being for people working in that project spaces Administration area or similar? I just figured it was relevant to note that this seems to have been an ongoing issue between those two (more one sided than being from both users) since Iknowyoureadog's article was nominated for deletion here on April 3. They threw a couple of templates their way before following that up with mentioning it April 5 to a former Admin for 'advice' (the same one who had previously blocked Xrimonciam). On April 22, MarioGom posted they shared the same concerns with some of X's edits which seemed to renew the interest for Iknowyoureadog (See April 22 question to Izno here, asking about translation software and relevant policies on the 25th at the help desk here then bringing it to Primefac on the 26th here) before finally presenting it to AfC. Xrimon seemed to be a lot more patient than I would honestly have been, but it seems like the original editor is still salty about their article being nominated and is forum/admin shopping for a solution anywhere they can while tracking almost all edits that Xrimon has made since that time.

Just figured I'd let you know since I have zero idea how the AfC board works, and as far as I know haven't ever interacted with Xrimon. Take care! Awshort (talk) 08:38, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Awshort! That notice is to try to prevent people from asking about their own drafts there rather than at WP:AFCHD but I am kind of glad you didn't comment. WT:AFC really should only be about AfC stuff, not other issues and the conclusion by reviewers is Iknowyoureadog's complaint is without merit so best let it end. However, good to know the background so thanks for sharing and totally agree about Xrimonciam patience. Like I said at WT:AfC, had Iknowyoureadog came to my talk page with all those questions, I would have not responded in detail like Xrimonciam did. I also note Xrimonciam's block was an error (and blocking admin is no longer an admin because of issues with their blocks) and while their AfDs were problematic they seem to take onboard feedback. Xrimonciam's talk page is now on my watchlist since I left them a note yesterday so I will keep an eye out. Also pinging @Asilvering: so they are also aware of the background in case Iknowyoureadog continues and admin intervention is needed. Hopefully they WP:DROPTHESTICK though. S0091 (talk) 16:53, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh. I had my suspicions, but tried to convince myself that was my own failure to WP:AGF... -- asilvering (talk) 19:22, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Primefac, just pinging you to this for awareness. -- asilvering (talk) 19:27, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Asilvering this is more sprawling between Awshort and Iknowyoureadog. See User talk:Awshort#April 2025. @Awshort if you are in a conflict with someone, be transparent about it. That's not say you are wrong but it puts a bad taste in my mouth you came here to spill about Iknowyoureadog but made no mention of your acrimonious history with them. At this point you need to take it ANI but be concise as the two you are verbose. S0091 (talk) 21:21, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't meant to hide that fact, but it seemed relevant that there was a history between those two since I saw what seemed like an ongoing thing against X being presented multiple places.
Still, I get your point and apologize. It wasn't meant in a sneaky way and I try to be transparent as often as I can. Again, I'm sorry for how it came across.
Awshort (talk) 21:31, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Awshort I'll still keep an eye out on the X stuff but yes, do be transparent in the future. No one wants to get pulled into the middle of shit show believing they are acting on the concerns of an uninvolved editor. I mean imagine if I had taken this to ANI based on this and the AfC discussion, which I would need to notify and ping you and of course Iknowyoureadog. All these other issues between the two of you would come out and I would look like an idiot (or at least feel like one) and I kind of feel like an idiot even here. Not only did I notify asilvering but they also pinged another admin who also happens to an arb (granted Primefac wasn't pinged because they are an arb but still). Had you been transparent, I probably still would have pinged asilvering but at least I'd be able tell them there are other issues going on between you two however you might have a point about this one thing and we all would have been on the up-and-up to make our own assessment. S0091 (talk) 19:56, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Noting Iknowyoureadog is now blocked as a sock of Delectopierre - WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Delectopierre. @Awshort good job with the SPI and sorry you had to go through all that. S0091 (talk) 18:11, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I appreciate it!

Fulton Homes

[edit]

Just to let you know, I am not paid or employed by Fulton Homes. I just thought the company is notable enough to warrant an article, considering they are one of the leading homebuilders in the Phoenix metropolitan area. ANDROS1337TALK 20:36, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have made a very interesting, unique, and thoughtful argument here about proposed deletion. Please take it as a compliment that you broke my brain. Bearian (talk) 07:22, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearian I didn't mean to break you. :) Seriously, I was surprised there wasn't more about her and to be honest, it annoyed me that mostly the only times she has been written about is in the context of her boyfriends. Thanks for stopping by and for the compliment, which means a lot coming from someone who has been around long enough to have seen it all. S0091 (talk) 14:52, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, she's notable, and famous. I remember her drawings from when I was young. I gotta run--can you clean up after me? And thanks for sending those my way--keep em coming, friend. Oh and please thank the contributor. Drmies (talk) 22:54, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ratio Utility Billing System updates

[edit]

Thanks for reviewing the article. I eliminated the Benefits and Criticisms section which eliminated multiple bad references. It's likely a notable topic as the references go back to 2003, and likely a majority of tenants in the US are affected by it. MisheardLyric (talk) 01:14, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Valeriu Iftime

[edit]

Hey I just wondering if you can review my draft again and if it is eligible revert the STOP thing. I added more sources from more places, added more information and it is overall a lot better. I would really appreciate it, as he is a very important businessman in Romania known by a lot of people.

Your declination of my page.

[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Henry_Emmanuel_(the_2024_DnD_campaign) Hey S0091, Appreciate the feedback, even if it came with a bit more attitude than necessary. Just a reminder: this is a draft about a homebrew D&D campaign, not a peer-reviewed journal submission. The tone, structure, and style are meant to reflect a fictional narrative that’s intentionally over-the-top — because that’s what the campaign was. I’m not trying to publish a scientific article about “zombie fish people with M138 miniguns.” You mentioned it’s “not readable,” but I’d suggest re-reading it with the context of genre and format in mind. As for being “unsourced” — of course it is. It’s original content, not a summary of existing publications. Wikipedia does allow coverage of notable homebrew projects if they have enough recognition and documentation, and I’m in the process of gathering that. Lastly, the snide tone (“if you want to write article, not an AI chatbot…”) doesn’t really help. Everyone starts somewhere, and if the goal is to improve content, maybe lead with constructive input instead of acting like I kicked your dog. Anyway — I’ll revise it to hit your formatting and sourcing expectations. But let’s not pretend like creativity doesn’t have a place on this site. Cheers, 

Oleg Mefrfrfr (talk) 19:49, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And, on wiki there's a whole article about the history of the chicken sandwich. so, think mark THINK Mefrfrfr (talk) 19:59, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mefrfrfr from what I gather based on your response is that you have not yet read Your first article which I pointed you to in both the first and second decline and now again. If you have questions or disagree with my decline, you more than welcome to post at the WP:AFCHD which is also linked to in the decline. S0091 (talk) 20:04, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey S0091,
Appreciate you dropping the “read Your first article” link for the fourth time — I’m definitely gonna check it out, no worries. But real talk, just repeating the same canned line like a broken record isn’t exactly helpful. I’m trying to get legit feedback on how to shape my draft into something Wikipedia won’t toss, not a lecture on wiki 101.
If you actually took a second to read my responses instead of hitting copy-paste, you’d see I’m open to fixing the tone, sourcing, and format — I’m just pointing out this is a homebrew campaign, not some encyclopedic subject covered by mainstream sources yet. That’s why I’m working on gathering coverage.
Also, Wikipedia’s got entire pages on chicken sandwiches and fictional stuff with way less notability than my campaign — so forgive me if I’m a bit skeptical about the “notable” barrier being applied so strictly here.
Anyway, I’ll hit up WP:AFCHD like you suggest, but maybe next time, you could offer some actual constructive pointers instead of just sending me in circles? That’d save us both some time.
Cheers,

Hi there, just trying to understand your comment on this page. You mentioned that a draft was rejected in July 2024 and nothing has changed. Could you expand on this? I didn't work on the previous draft so it isn't clear what you mean? Thanks! Padlock24 (talk) 10:25, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Padlock24 the draft's log shows another editor created the draft a couple times. The first was deleted because it was blatantly promotional then they recreated it and if you look on their talk page, it was declined (not rejected) several times then deleted because it was abandoned. I thought it was possible you were the same editor who simply forgot their password so set up a new account (it happens). However, based on your query, you are not the same editor. I will be honest with you, such history with now a different editor creating the same/similar draft is an indicator of a Conflict of interest if not Undisclosed paid editing. That may or may not be the case, but either way, Fleming does not meet the notability criteria so it will ultimately be declined yet again (not by me, another reviewer will take look but the result is inevitable). S0091 (talk) 20:24, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @S0091 thanks for your reply. That's interesting. I wasn't invlved then but it is good to know. Fleming has become quit prominent in Ireland and with the press surrounding his latest book I thought it was sufficient but perhaps it is not time yet. I haven't been paid to do any editing or anything like that. I'd just like to get involved in adding to Wiki and thought this might be a simple one to start with - but alas it is not to be!

[edit]

Hi - thanks for your feedback. I included 5 external references, several of which discuss the museum in depth. Can you be more specific about why these don't qualify? The links to the museum website are only supplemental, to illustrate the items in the permanent collection and the museum's tax exempt status. Should I remove these entirely?

AFNYC (talk) 21:26, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AFNYC in order for a source to contribute to notability it has to meet all four criteria linked in the decline: reliable, secondary, independent and have in-depth coverage directly about the subject. Visit NJ is not independent source because it's purpose s to promote businesses in the state and the profile was provided by the museum, thus also a primary source. Similar is true for Jersey Arts and Life in Sussex. Oh and I see you added an article by Broadway World but it is not considered a reliable source and the article is a press release so a primary source and not independent (and one of reason BW is not considered a reliable source. You can see one of the discussions about it here). S0091 (talk) 16:02, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. There are other articles in the works and I will add them. Should these references to the sources you cite here be removed entirely, or should they remain and more reliable sources be added?
Does each fact included about the museum need to be established with a citation from a reliable source? What would be considered a reliable source to verify the existence of the museum at all or its exhibits? AFNYC (talk) 19:29, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@AFNYC most of them, yes. It is fine to use primary sources for very basic uncontroversial facts but best avoided. Think about this way, if independent reliable secondary sources do not find it important to write about then that is a clue it should not be included. As for the other sources you state are "in the works", to be clear, independence means intellectually independent. If a source is simply regurgitating what those involved state/have published, it is not independent nor secondary even if published by an otherwise reliable source. For example, if The New York Times publishes what is largely a Q&A interview, that's a primary non-independent source and only reliable to support what the person said. S0091 (talk) 20:14, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
just to be clear, when you say "most of them, yes", you are saying they should be removed? AFNYC (talk) 21:43, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@AFNYC I suppose to make this simple, yes, remove all the sources along with the content supported by them and start over with only sources that meet the notability criteria. S0091 (talk) 21:53, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Seiden

[edit]

Around a year ago you placed an undisclosed payments tag on Robert Seiden - I'm going to do what I can to improve the article and possible remove the tag. Do you recall specifically why it was added. Are there any specific sections that are problematic? Thank you. MaskedSinger (talk) 07:09, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MaskedSinger the editor who created the draft was blocked as part of a UPE sock farm and I have no doubt the editor who later submitted it was also part of the same farm, though not blocked. I have no issue with you removing the tag once you go through the article and sources. One of the issues is the lead contains content not in the body and the article is likely a bit puffed up. S0091 (talk) 15:05, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@S0091 Thanks for your reply. I'm going to go through this with a fine tooth comb and remove all puffery. And if it's ok with you, can I ask you to take a look at it before the tag is removed? MaskedSinger (talk) 16:08, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@MaskedSinger don't worry about asking me before you remove the tag. Once you believe you have resolved any (most) issues, go ahead and remove it. I can give it once over afterwards if you want but I can't imagine a reason the tag would need to stay even if I thought there were remaining issues. Those are things that can be discussed as part of normal editing. S0091 (talk) 16:29, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@S0091 Thank you. MaskedSinger (talk) 16:31, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi S0091, thanks for reviewing both the Conversational AI and Voice-First AI drafts.

[edit]

I saw your comment suggesting that these topics might be better handled as sections of the Chatbot page. I completely understand that perspective, especially given how broad that page is already.

My thinking was that “Conversational AI” includes a growing range of voice-first, multimodal, and ambient interfaces that go beyond traditional chatbots. Voice-First AI, in particular, is being used in environments like transit help points, public safety systems, and accessibility tech—often without a screen or text input at all.

That said, I realize the drafts need stronger sourcing to justify separate articles. I’m currently working on adding independent, in-depth, and reliable references to both pages. Would you be open to reviewing an improved version soon, or possibly advising whether merging into Chatbot is the best next step?

I want to contribute in a way that fits well with Wikipedia’s standards, and your feedback has been really helpful so far.

Thanks again,

—User:ArturoFalck ArturoFalck (talk) 17:30, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ArturoFalck the Chatbot article is horrible because there are no dedicated editors monitoring/updating it. While there is WP:WikiProject Artificial intelligence, it does not appear to be very active unfortunately. The other problem is the decision to merge/split an existing article, which is what would need to happen, is not up to you or me, but needs to be decided by a broader group of editors for a topic like this. Also, I am not particularly knowledgeable or interested, from a Wikipedia editor perspective, in the topic area. For now, as far as the draft, you want to use books or peer-reviewed reputable journals/publishers by authors who are recognized as the leading authorities in the field (highly cited works). Forget what you know (see WP:SME) and simply summarize what those sources state. Get good foundation down but do not submit the draft for review. You can use the draft's talk page to make notes about what would need to be merged/split from other articles (there's also Conversational user interface and likely other articles). I am going to try to find an experienced editor who is willing to guide you but that might take some time. S0091 (talk) 18:08, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for this thoughtful reply and for looking into finding a more topic-aligned editor. I’ll follow your guidance closely and hold off on resubmitting until the sourcing is rock-solid. Really appreciate the direction, and I’ll leave merge/split notes on the draft talk pages as you suggested. ArturoFalck (talk) 14:29, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again, @S0091— I just wanted to thank you again for the helpful guidance you gave me earlier. I’ve followed your advice:
  • I haven’t resubmitted the drafts.
  • I’ve focused on strengthening the structure and clarified that my goal isn’t to split everything out right away, but to build a solid foundation for eventually organizing the content more clearly — with *Conversational AI* as the broader topic, and *Chatbot* and *Voice-First AI* as subarticles.
  • I’ve added merge/split notes on the Talk pages of both drafts and reached out to relevant WikiProjects for feedback.
I’m continuing to improve the sourcing with academic material and trying to take my time. If you happen to have a moment to glance at the drafts or their Talk pages again—or know someone who’s more topic-aligned who might be interested—I’d really appreciate it.
No pressure at all. I just wanted to share where things stand and say thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
—ArturoFalck ArturoFalck (talk) 16:29, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@ArturoFalck Good, glad you posted at some WikiProjects. You might want to take at look at Large language model, which is fairly recent article created in 2023, to get some ideas about structuring. @Cosmia Nebula you have contributed quite a bit to LLM according to page stats. Arturo is a new editor working on two drafts, Draft:Conversational AI and Draft:Voice-First AI. Both have been declined, in part due to poor sourcing but they are working on that. Because Draft:Conversational AI would likely impact at least Chatbot with content being split/merged, assuming Conversational AI is indeed the broader topic, I was hoping to get an experienced editor to help guide him. Would you be interested or know who might or where the best place to go to find someone who might help? S0091 (talk) 17:32, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello again. - Thanks for the review and feedback. I note that Pichler meets these criteria as outlined in guidelines on the notability of music-related topics. 1: Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart. 2: Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country. 3: Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). 4: Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles. This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g., musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.) 5: Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. Would any of this help? Or any further suggestions on how to get his page published s oI can move on to the next one? Thank you and much appreciated. Mo

Ozrockhistory (talk) 02:23, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ozrockhistory, see WP:NBANDMEMBER. Most of the criteria you list above applies to the bands, not him as an individual. In order for him to meet notability to support a stand-alone article, sources about him (not the bands) are needed that meet WP:GNG. None of the current sources cited meet that criteria. Please note an article did exist but was nominated for deletion back in December with the outcome to redirect it to The Bamboos (rock band) due to not meeting notability, see WP:Articles for deletion/Shakir Pichler. You would need to show new sources since December 2024 that meet WP:GNG. S0091 (talk) 14:32, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @S0091 Thank you for the explanation.
There are so many WP abbreviations that I think it will take me years to get to the understanding of them all as you do!
Id like to add multiple entries of artists for our local indie music history and thought starting with this one would be easy as Shakir Pichler is so well known both locally and internationally. I guess the problem is that the releases etc are alternative music and not mainstream so that may make it more difficult.
For example, I'm sure you have never heard of him so I understand how he may appear irrelevant on face-value. But the fact that he played with members from The Clash, Rose Tattoo, One Wayt System and founded, managed and released sop many albums with so many bands over the years is quite an achievement. As far as collecting more refs, fact that some of the important releases and newspaper clippings are from the 80's so many are hard to track down today.
If you at all have a moment, would you have the time to look at the links I have added now to "Further reading & sources" section?
Some are actual scans of national newspaper stories that talk about him and are not interviews with him.
There are also a lot of international music magazine interviews with him as well as some news entries.
I'm hoping one or two of the links may stand out to you as worthy?
I would think that all of the evidence provided wholistically can show notability soon.
Thank you again for your time :)
Mo. Ozrockhistory (talk) 01:15, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Ozrockhistory no, I am not going to go through all those, nor is that the purpose of the Further reading section. Several sources were presented in the deletion discussion and it was determined none met the criteria. It's time to let it go. S0091 (talk) 16:32, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
that's the problem. You are happy to decline but not look at all the supporting evidence they uploaded? They are in further reading section for this edit to see what can be transferred to references. Do your job. 161.8.220.109 (talk) 22:56, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My delete draft

[edit]

Hi,

I’ve spoken with one of the live admins, and they agree that my article about Antoine Allen meets the notability criteria for a recognisable individual. I had also made the changes from the original article deletion- thus it was not the same article.

Antoine Allen is an established TV presenter and reporter, for ITV News, live events and radio. He is an award-winning journalist, having won the prestigious 2024 Sports Journalists’ Association (SJA) ‘Sport for Change’ Award — a highly respected accolade presented by the UK’s leading sports journalism body. Previous SJA award winners have come from organisations such as the BBC, Sky News, CNN, and ITV.

Antoine’s journalism has been widely cited by major UK publications, including The Mirror, The Sun, the Daily Mail, and others. Just one example here:

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/peckham-protest-shopkeeper-says-regrets-30928173

He recently fronted a national news investigation into tool theft, which aired on both ITV News, ITVX and ITV London drawing significant public attention and discussion- quoted by an MP. His investigative work consistently holds power to account and shines a light on social injustice, making a real impact both on-screen and in the wider media landscape.

Importantly, Antoine has also been shortlisted for the Royal Television Society Awards — the most respected TV news awards in the UK — alongside other nominations at leading journalism awards. This further underlines his professional credibility and prominence in the field.

Given his body of work and public profile, it’s clear that Antoine Allen is a notable journalist and presenter. Restoring his page would not only reflect his achievements accurately but also help distinguish him from the American director of the same name

Antoine is also a Guiness world record holder- a fun fact I guess,

Regarding Draft:Gautam Kundu

[edit]

Hi

I noticed that my new article draft on Gautam Kundu (submission S0091) was declined due to concerns about notability and WP:BLPCRIME. Thank you for your review!

I’ve since located several additional independent, reliable sources (for example, Enforcement Directorate press releases, multiple coverage in *The Economic Times*, *The Telegraph*, and *The Times of India*) that detail:

  • the scale of the fraud (over ₹15,000 cr raised; ED arrests and asset attachments)
  • involvement of political figures (Sudeep Bandyopadhyay, Tapas Paul) and film personalities (Shrikant Mohta)
  • ongoing legal proceedings and restitution efforts

Would it be preferable to incorporate these into the existing Rose Valley financial scandal article by expanding its sections on controversies and film ventures, rather than recreating a standalone page? Or do you think a new article still better serves Wikipedia’s WP:NOTABILITY and WP:CS requirements?

I appreciate any guidance you can offer on how best to proceed.

Thank you! BengalMC (talk) 12:17, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BengalMC apologies, I did not realize an article about the scam already existed. I do think it makes more sense for the content about the scam and the public figures involved to be included in Rose Valley financial scandal. As for Gautam Kundu specifically, if he is notable for other things it could still make sense for a stand-alone article about him. For example, if he received media coverage before the scandal about his life and business ventures, then that make a strong argument for a stand-alone article. Does that make sense? S0091 (talk) 16:17, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
the only thing i have found other than the scam is that Gautam Kundu used to live a lavish life which is indicated from an article i found from Supercarsblondie where gautam kundu owned a Rolls-Royce Phantom VII BengalMC (talk) 16:24, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@BengalMC I don't think that is enough but you are welcome are seek other opinions. You can post a note on the article's talk page to see if anyone responds there. Either way, I still suggest expanding the scandal article. S0091 (talk) 16:31, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for reconsideration: Draft:Alexandros Livitsanos

[edit]

Dear S0091,

Thank you for your time in reviewing the draft article on Alexandros Livitsanos.

I respectfully request reconsideration. The draft contains over 35 inline citations to third-party, independent and reliable sources — including *Kathimerini*, *LiFO*, *Elculture*, *RTVE*, *Classic FM*, *Cineuropa*, *FilmInk*, the *International Trumpet Guild Journal*, and the *ITEA Journal*. It also documents performances by national and international ensembles and commissions by institutions such as the Athens State Orchestra and RTVE.

The article meets Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines and those for creative professionals. If specific improvements are needed, I would be grateful for your guidance.

With appreciation, –– Brass quintet 19:54, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Brass quintet did you use something to help you write the article? The reason I ask is because I have been reviewing drafts for some time and the only times I recall a draft being so ill-formatted to the point it is not readable is when someone has used chatgpt or some other program. As I have stated before, please read Your first article. In order for a source to meet the notability criteria it needs to meet all four criteria: reliable, independent, secondary and provide in-depth coverage about the subject. Being a "third party" sources does not mean it is independent, nor does it mean it meets all the other three criteria. S0091 (talk) 20:52, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your reply, and for taking the time to explain your perspective.
Yes, I did structure and edit the article with support, but all references were carefully selected and reviewed from verifiable, reliable third-party media. The intent was always to follow Wikipedia policy, not to circumvent it.
To clarify:
- *Kathimerini*, *LiFO*, *Elculture*, and *Zougla* are major Greek news outlets with full feature interviews or profiles about the subject.
- *RTVE* (Spain's national broadcaster) lists the subject as part of a broadcast concert and provides official programming notes.
- *Cineuropa* and *FilmInk* include the subject’s authorship in listings for an internationally screened film.
- *International Trumpet Guild Journal* and *ITEA Journal* have published reviews of a published composition.
- *Editions BIM* is a globally recognized classical music publisher, which has issued full score and reduction.
I understand not all sources meet notability requirements in isolation, but the draft includes **multiple independent, reliable, in-depth secondary sources**, as required by the GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.
If necessary, I’m happy to remove any source that does not meet the standard, or restructure the article for clarity.
Thank you again for your attention.
–– Brass quintet 05:45, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Brass quintet I looked at four sources, BIM is a publisher so not an independent source, LIFO is about Manos Loizos, not Livitsanos and they are simply publishing notes by the musicians performing "META", which is a primary source and not independent, Kathimerini is a Q&A interview so also a primary source and not independent, same for iefimerdia. Some of the other ones are listings which are not in-depth coverage and programs are primary sources so not useful for notability.. It is unclear if the journals by International Trumpet Guild and ITEA are independent sources but if they are covering their members, then independence is questionable.

Thanks for helping me with the edits to the Phoebe Ministries Wikipedia page. I made some edits to the article, but wanted to get your opinion before I resubmit. Check out the updates section for my rationale on my changes. I'm hoping we can work together to get this article up.

[edit]

Hi @S0091, hope you're doing well!

I noticed that the link of my article Huseydin Mohamed Esa redirects via a disambiguation page. The prefix "Huseydin" was added, but it should point directly to Mohamed Esa.

Could you help? Thanks! Wieditor25 (talk) 14:54, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Wieditor25 I don't quite follow. Are you saying the title of the article should be Mohamed Esa instead of Huseydin Mohamed Esa? If so, you can simply move it to Mohamed Esa. See WP:MOVE for instructions. Doing so will create a redirect from Huseydin Mohamed Esa to Mohamed Esa so both will be a valid link. S0091 (talk) 15:42, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your quick response and helpful tip! Yes, it should be Mohamed Esa. Not sure how a random prefix was added. I've now moved the page as you suggested. Wieditor25 (talk) 16:27, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Wieditor25 another tip using Mohamed Esa as an example. Say you did create it as Mohamed Esa but he is sometimes referred to as Huseydin Mohamed Esa (which I am assuming is the case here). You can manually create a WP:redirect so if someone searches for or links Huseydin Mohamed Esa it redirects them to Mohamed Esa. S0091 (talk) 17:01, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was the case. If it happens again, I'll use this approach to fix it. Thanks again! Wieditor25 (talk) 00:59, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jftoor the decline was for two reasons, not meeting notability and the tone. You may have addressed one but did nothing to address the other.

Re: Draft:2030 in public domain declination

[edit]

I got your rejection notice for this draft article, and have just attempted to correct it in the best way that would be possible at this time. The article's verifiability and general quality are no different than similar, pre-existing articles for earlier years (2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029), and it seems to have carried over these problems from there. Only a mere two hours (approximately) since you issued the notice, I resolved the issue with the citation in not only the rejected article for 2030, but all of the earlier years' articles as well. The article currently has multiple citations instead of just one, if only for the laws; but that should be enough to satisfy for the time being. The verification of whether the U.S. PD entrants listed are works from 1934 and their copyright status is currently valid, and whether the authors listed in the tables for other countries died in 1959 and 1979, is best left to our articles on the subjects themselves.

Furthermore, the window for what upcoming entrants into the American and international public domain should be listed on Wikipedia is currently set at 5 years maximum, as stated on the talk page for 2026's article, and the draftified article satisfies this. -- Seth Allen (talk) 03:01, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SethAllen623 you are welcome to resubmit the draft with your improvements and another reviewer will take a look. I find it best to get another pair of eyes.

Hi @SethAllen623 I see you did a copy/paste from the draft to mainspace, which is likely fine in this instance but the easier and preferred method is to do a WP:MOVE (see instructions on this page). S0091 (talk) 19:17, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's more soul crushing than funny but being able to laugh here and there is helpful. For a few months I did not edit much in part because of all bullshit but became "active" again a couple months ago, back to focusing on AfC. After a couple weeks or so of reviewing, my watchlist lights up with sock blocks of editors who created drafts that I reviewed. One after another, after another, after another and it continues. You know, I am not sure the WMF even knows the impact UPE has on the community (LLM is another mess) but I have thought it about a lot....just not sure what I can do and I am not a CU or understand what could be done (if anything). I just know, to me, it is a serious problem and I am fucking tired of it. S0091 (talk) 19:40, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Chad W. Post (draft declined, request for advice)

[edit]

Dear S0091, Thank you for your consideration of the draft article for publisher Chad W. Post. Your comment on the draft states "Also, the Associated awards appear to be about his publishing company rather than him so not helpful." The draft included awards awarded specifically to Chad W. Post (under Awards), as well as Associated Awards. The idea behind "Associated Awards" is that these are awards for books published by Chad W. Post at Open Letter Books—–awards that he is "associated" with. I believe it is relevant and helpful information, as the awards these books won reflect on Chad W. Post as publisher and internationally-known publishing professional, and on his publishing house.

Is there a better way to connect these associated awards to Chad W. Post? Or would you advise deleting this from the draft entirely? Thank you in advance! 140.106.37.94 (talk) 16:02, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP, the article is about Post, the person, not his company so a list of awards for the company is WP:UNDUE. You can include them at Open Letter Books though. S0091 (talk) 16:14, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
