Michael Christoper Fairbanks moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Michael Christoper Fairbanks, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster _talk 00:23, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi disco,

thanks for the feedback. May I ask a couple of questions before I dig into editing this page?

1: the reliable sources.. just so I understand. articles written by MC Fairbanks are not considered this because they are written by him? so I need to find more things that either feature him or are about him. is this correct?

2: is there too much other information? like about his house or other companies etc? should this be reduced also?

thanks much Childrenandart (talk) 15:45, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hi again,

ok I am trying to figure out exactly what doesn't work. This is my first contributed page so forgive my confusion. are the portions that were separated to be removed? is it only those portions that are not working and the rest is fine?

I was googling and saw that there are companies that one can pay to write and do the wiki pages for you. are these accepted by you? I was under the impression it was not allowed.

thanks for the help Childrenandart (talk) 15:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Marylee Graffeo Fairbanks (August 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CFA was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The Boston Globe article is good, but there doesn't seem to be much outside of that. The article doesn't have to list everything the subject has ever done, and it ends up looking like a résumé if it does.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Childrenandart. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Marylee Graffeo Fairbanks, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. C F A 💬 15:08, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hi,

the tony award is directly given to Marylee Fairbanks. we are happy to send a photograph of the actual tony award with her name on it if that is helpful.

secondly, i can give the names of several people listed on wikipedia pages who have recieved TONY AWARDS for being co-producers. this was sufficient for them so i am curious why it is insufficient for M. Fairbanks?

for example Lachanze was awarded a tony award for being co-pro on the team of Kimberly akibo, topdog/ uderdog and outsiders. this is listed on her page.

another expample is Debra Black, Broadway producer who has been nominated for ten Tony Awards, winning two in the Tony Award for Best Play category. she was a co-producer and considered tony award winning.

Iliana Glazer was a co-producer on A Strange Loop. listed on wiki as Tony Award winning producer.

I am happy to find more examples if this is helpful.

as i mentioned the additional emerson article states directly that MF is the recipient of the tony Award.

Please let me know what additional information you would like as evidence of the Tony Award

Thank you Childrenandart (talk) 15:41, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. I've said multiple times already that the award does not count towards notability. I gave you a run down of what does on my talk page. Please read through that before resubmitting. An award is not what makes someone eligible for an article on Wikipedia; rather, it's significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Wikipedia, unfortunately, has many low-quality articles because it is a volunteer project. We don't need even more. If you believe an article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, you are free to nominate it for deletion, but it will have zero impact on your draft.

Again, you have completely ignored the conflict of interest notice above and on my talk page. Who is "we"? Your draft will not be considered until you appropriately disclose your COI. Please respond to this message stating how you know the subjects of your drafts. Thank you. C F A 💬 15:53, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

there is no conflict of interest. i am a fan of the podcast and there is not a conflict. i am allowed to upload a page am i not? Childrenandart (talk) 18:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You clearly aren't "just a fan" because you said we are happy to send a photograph, implying you have access to the award and can take a picture. Who is "we"? No, you are not allowed to "upload" the page until you disclose your conflict of interest and show that the subject meets Wikipedia's strict notability guidelines. C F A 💬 19:04, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am a follower of the podcast and am Ms. Fairbanks knows I am submitting on her behalf. I am sure she would happily send whatever I need to get her page up.

I assume most people know when someone is putting up a wiki page for them. id ike to speak with another editor if thats possible Childrenandart (talk) 19:08, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
