{{Lafc|username=Erick Wihardja|ts=05:45, 8 November 2023|draft=Draft:Vasanta_Group_(PT._Sirius_Surya_Sentosa)}}
Dear Wikipedia Contributors,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request assistance and guidance with editing and submitting a Wikipedia article.

I have been working on an article about Draft:Vasanta Group (PT. Sirius Surya Sentosa) and have reached a point where I would greatly appreciate the expertise and support of experienced editors to ensure that the article meets Wikipedia's content guidelines and quality standards.

The draft article is currently in progress and can be found at the following link: https://w.wiki/85XJ. I have made an effort to make the content as neutral, well-referenced, and informative as possible, but I understand that there might be areas that need improvement.

Here are some specific areas where I would welcome assistance:

1. Ensuring the article adheres to Wikipedia's content guidelines, including neutrality and verifiability.
2. Reviewing and improving the article's structure, flow, and clarity.
3. Adding relevant citations from reliable sources to support the information presented.
4. Identifying and addressing any issues that may hinder the article's acceptance on Wikipedia.

I believe that with the help of experienced Wikipedia editors, we can enhance the article's quality and alignment with Wikipedia's standards. Any guidance, edits, or feedback provided would be greatly appreciated.

If you are available to assist with this project, please let me know the best way to collaborate and proceed. I am open to your recommendations and insights to make this article a valuable addition to Wikipedia.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to work together and improve this article.

Sincerely,
Erick Wihardja

00:01, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Tashialala

Regarding references Tashialala (talk) 00:01, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May I have advice on the press release references? I can also find other Wikipedia articles using many press release sources. Tashialala (talk) 00:04, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please read other stuff exists; the existence of inappropriate content does not mean more inappropriate content may be added. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate content to get by us. We can only address what we know about.
Press releases may be used on occasion for some purposes, but never to establish notability. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company), showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. You have only described the routine activities of the company.
If you work for this company, the Terms of Use require that to be declared, see WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 00:20, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

01:01, 2 November 2023 review of submission by 65.92.207.113

I would like to request help with disclosing that I am a paid editor. I thought I had followed the instructions but the reviewer said that it wasn't there. Does the paid editor disclosure go on the article or my user page? Thank you for your time. 65.92.207.113 (talk) 01:01, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think you forgot to log in before posting. You should place the disclosure on your user page. 331dot (talk) 01:03, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

10:42, 2 November 2023 review of submission by 185.169.74.90

Hello! This draft was rejected because of unadequate reliable sources. I was wondering more specifically what this is referring to? Many parts are clearly referenced with links to different sources. Which parts are problematic? Is it a problem that some sources are in Swedish?

I'm hoping to improve the draft and submit it again, because Professor Arrhenius is a very internationally known and distinguished philosopher within the field of population ethics, climate ethics and moral philosophy. 185.169.74.90 (talk) 10:42, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sources can be in Swedish, they don't have to be in English.
I don't know if this is the reason the reviewer had in mind, but my issue with this draft is that there is information which isn't supported, eg. the DOB and the second half of the middle paragraph. You say "many parts are clearly referenced", but it should be that all parts are clearly referenced, especially as this is a draft on a living person (WP:BLP). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

12:05, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Aniruddh17895

Sorry but i have written summary wrong now i have written it right please publish this page 

Aniruddh17895 (talk) 12:05, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your one line of text with no reliable sources has no chance at being an article, and was correctly rejected. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves, please read the autobiography policy. Wikipedia is a place to summarize what independent reliable sources say about a person, not what they say about themselves, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. If you want to tell the world about yourself, you should use social media. 331dot (talk) 12:09, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

12:18, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Alleycat1995

Hello! I am writing this because I was hoping that I could have some additional feedback with what meeting the requirements given in the rejection information would look like. The feedback that stood out to me was "Two solid sources from the same time period, but no obvious on-going coverage or impact." Can this please be expanded on? Thank you and have a good day! Alleycat1995 (talk) 12:18, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are lacking in reliable sources that discuss the use of this term. 331dot (talk) 12:41, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

13:40, 2 November 2023 review of submission by FactsThatFlourish

Hi, I'd like to contain the section "Sources, notes and other references" in a grey box but can't figure out a way to do this. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks. FactsThatFlourish (talk) 13:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@FactsThatFlourish: why would you do that? Pretty sure that wouldn't be compliant with the WP:Manual of Style. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:07, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your quick reply. If it's not compliant, I'll simply leave it as it is FactsThatFlourish (talk) 14:10, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

15:45, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Tmedia12

This page is redirected on many media pages I have seen. Hence I tried to improve it but I think it didn’t worked. Subsequently need help to improve this article and get it reviewed. Thanks Tmedia12 (talk) 15:45, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tmedia12: this draft was declined for lack of notability. The sources provide coverage of the various programmes, with only passing mentions of the company. We need to see significant coverage of the company itself, in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:05, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @DoubleGrazing hope you are well. I have revised the citations as per my knowledge. Added citations more specific about the company. Additionally can you help to improve the article? Just have a look and please let me know if its ready to be reviewed. I also noticed one major thing missing about this company about its Producer. His page is also not available on Wikipedia. Do you want me to create that? Will that support this article in more better way? Do let me know. Thanks Tmedia12 (talk) 17:10, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Tmedia12: if you feel you have adequately addressed the earlier decline reason(s), then you're welcome to resubmit the draft.
Having an article on the producer in no way affects the chances of this draft being accepted. In any case, if you mean Guroudev Bhalla, then there already exists a draft on him at Draft:Guroudev Bhalla. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:05, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

16:30, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Wisest Arab

Hello , i would like to ask for assistance on this biography. i tried to cut all the not reliable sources.. and it is still rejected, also i tried to rely on good and confident sources such as Scout.org.. i will be thankful if you can help me. thank you Wisest Arab (talk) 16:30, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rejected means that there is nothing more that you can do- it will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 16:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What is your relationship with Mr. Abdulmonem? (since you took a picture of him) 331dot (talk) 16:36, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

17:12, 2 November 2023 review of submission by 77.39.234.178

Thank you for your response. It's indeed a wonderful feeling to contribute to the growth of this encyclopedia. I've made the modifications to the article based on your comment, "You've shown that The Fast Guide to Architectural Form is probably notable, but what about his other books?...." To begin, I've added information about the second book that holds scientific importance. I've corrected the article, but I'm unsure whether it has already been rejected or is still under review. I'd like to know if, in the event of rejection, I will receive further feedback to understand whether I haven't delved enough into the sources or if there's another reason. Additionally, if I'm making any mistakes in the publication process, I'd appreciate guidance on the correct path to follow, as I have several entries related to architecture that I'd like to contribute. In the meantime, thank you, and keep up the good work. 77.39.234.178 (talk) 17:12, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP, I am assuming you are the User George Taylor Bown? If so, please remember to sign into your account. You successfully resubmitted the draft so it is pending which may take some time but yes, if it is declined again you will get feedback. Likewise, if it is accepted you will be notified. S0091 (talk) 18:02, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

17:15, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Daisy Dhakre

Please provide assistant to resolve the issue. Daisy Dhakre (talk) 17:15, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing you can do, the draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. 331dot (talk) 18:01, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

17:44, 2 November 2023 review of submission by SerenityCoxFan

Wondering what I keep doing wrong? SerenityCoxFan (talk) 17:44, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further; prior reviews must remain on the draft. You did not demonstrate that she passes the notability criteria, and your sources do not offer significant coverage of her.
What is your association with her, since you took a picture of her? 331dot (talk) 17:56, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

17:53, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Lj alta

The editor said that the submission wasn't notable since the source weren't the ones he/she provided as examples. However, looking at comparable pages The LaSallian and The Guidon, the sources are similar in nature. Lj alta (talk) 17:53, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lj alta, an acceptable Wikipedia article summarizes what reliable sources that are entirely independent of the topic say about the topic. Your draft contains no such references to independent sources. As for the other articles, perhaps they should be deleted. Do not base your draft on poor quality articles. Cullen328 (talk) 18:01, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lj alta: the sources are three cites of the publication's own website, and one of Scribd (which is user-generated), none of which contribute towards notability per WP:GNG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:02, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

18:40, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Wearefromjersey

Hi, I wanted to reach out and see if I could get clarification - while I understand why my submission keeps getting denied, I can't help bring this to your attention. I have looked at other independent labels' Wikipedia sites as a reference as to what to correct and they have nearly the SAME reference sources and they are approved. Please refer to Fat Wreck Chords: Fat Wreck Chords You can also refer to Hopeless Records as well: Hopeless Records Please advise, thanks. Wearefromjersey (talk) 18:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See other poor quality articles exist. Their own website’ interviews, press releases and Spotify are not independent sources, Facebook is not reliable. Theroadislong (talk) 18:42, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If that is the case, what is the protocol then to escalate to have these pages removed. All pages should follow the same guidelines. Wearefromjersey (talk) 19:22, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing poor quality sources in those articles though? You have used their own website’ interviews, press releases, Facebook and Spotify which are are not independent reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 19:27, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The preferred term is articles, not the broader "pages", this may affect your mindset. Please see Articles for Deletion to learn about how you can propose articles for deletion. I would highly advise you to learn more about Wikipedia guidelines like notability and sourcing before you attempt doing so, or you risk your requests being declined quickly. 331dot (talk) 19:31, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for your help, I think I realized what I'm doing wrong with the links running through their website. I will find and source the original interviews from the media sources directly and remove Facebook and Spotify as sources as well. Thanks again for all the info! Wearefromjersey (talk) 19:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19:18, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Mitch199811

Is there any way I can speed up the publishing process for articles with redirects. I am confident in that it is a fine article and have even gotten approval from a more experienced editor; the one thing slowing me down is that I don't know what to do with a redirect. ✶Mitch199811✶ 19:18, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean that you are confident that the draft would survive in mainspace, and you would move it there but for the existing redirect Hurricane Tammy, then you can request a Technical Move. See WP:RM#T. ColinFine (talk) 19:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19:46, 2 November 2023 review of submission by IndieSaer

My draft submission for the lost synth-pop song "Everyone Knows That" was rejected without an explanation. Could you please explain to my why my submission was rejected? IndieSaer (talk) 19:46, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IndieSaer I fixed your link for proper functionality.(it lacked the "Draft:") The reviewer did leave a reason: "The topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia". 331dot (talk) 19:51, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the clarification. IndieSaer (talk) 19:52, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

21:54, 2 November 2023 review of submission by BooBoo314159

Hello,

The draft has been declined with the rationale that the cited sources are not enough to support the content of the article (WP:OR). But I believe all I wrote there can be found in these sources so I am confused.

Could someone help me identify what part is not supported by the sources I cite? Or maybe should I use the sources differently throughout the article?

Thank you for you help BooBoo314159 (talk) 21:54, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BooBoo314159 Your first sport of call is to ask the reviewer who declined this. You have a right to understand their reasoning. If that fails, and it should not, please come back here, ideally to this thread, and add to it. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:53, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

22:42, 2 November 2023 review of submission by Skipharris

I am somewhat new to your processes. I am proposing to replace an existing page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Smith_(surgeon)) with new and more comprehensive material. I have saved my work as a draft and am editing the work now. Once I finalize the new material, how should I send it to you, specifically, how should I note that this is a proposed replacement for an existing entry? Thanks! Skipharris (talk) 22:42, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Skipharris Please do 'not submit this draft for approval. It will be declined with the firm suggestion that you merge it into the existing article.
Do you have a relationship, business or personal, with Smith? We need the answer to this question before further advice can be given 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:44, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. I think. My only relationship with the long-deceased Dr. Smith is my upcoming 400-page biography on him. I was intending to improve your entry, not to promote the book. This is a great deal of work and I could use some advice on how to make it work for you. 2601:500:8784:5E50:7C97:B0C8:76C:34F4 (talk) 00:03, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

00:23, 3 November 2023 review of submission by Madison.y

Hi my article has not been accepted, can anyone help me to correct it ? Madison.y (talk) 00:23, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Madison.y it seems many of the sources are interviews which are not independent so cannot be used to establish notability. See also the notability guidelines for artists. Generally for artists you need critical reviews of their work from reputable publications (ArtForum, major newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, etc.) or to demonstrate they have had solo shows at major galleries or museum, etc. S0091 (talk) 15:04, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

10:30, 3 November 2023 review of submission by Lin Htet Wah Wah

Notable Achievements: Hla Hla Win has achieved notable recognition and awards for her work in the field of education and social entrepreneurship. Her receipt of the Digital Innovation Award and the Netexplo Innovation Award is a testament to her significant contributions.

Impactful Education Reform: She has been instrumental in reforming the education system in Myanmar and Southeast Asian nations. Her pioneering use of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies to enhance learning experiences is groundbreaking and deserves acknowledgment.

Inspirational Journey: Hla Hla Win's personal journey, from her struggles as a student in the traditional Myanmar education system to her scholarship at Harvard University and subsequent entrepreneurial success, is an inspiring story that can motivate others.

Social Entrepreneurship: As the CEO of 360ed, she has demonstrated the potential of social entrepreneurship to create positive change in society. Her work showcases how innovative technologies can be harnessed for social impact.

Impact on a Vulnerable Population: Her efforts to continue providing education during challenging times, such as the military coup in Myanmar, demonstrate her unwavering commitment to serving vulnerable and underserved populations, particularly children in conflict areas.

Global Relevance: Hla Hla Win's work and mission extend beyond national borders, aligning with global trends in education and technology. Her ideas and solutions hold promise for improving education in other developing communities and countries worldwide.

Recognition by Reputable Organizations: Her acknowledgment by organizations like the World Economic Forum's Schwab Foundation and UNESCO reflects the international recognition of her contributions.

Educational Policy and Innovation: Hla Hla Win's academic background in educational policy and innovation, combined with her practical application of these concepts, makes her a notable figure in the field.

Documented Information: There is a significant amount of credible and verifiable information available about Hla Hla Win's life, achievements, and contributions, making her a suitable subject for a Wikipedia page.

Educational Resources: A Wikipedia page would serve as an educational resource, providing information about the innovative use of technology in education and the potential of social entrepreneurship to bring about change. Lin Htet Wah Wah (talk) 10:30, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lin Htet Wah Wah: I don't see a question anywhere in that. In any case, this draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. It is also pending speedy deletion, and if you wish to contest that, you need to do that on the draft's talk page, as the attending administrator will not be looking here. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

10:42, 3 November 2023 review of submission by Stdedos

I don't understand what is the problem with my submission. It is a translation from https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astu_(Unix), with fixed links.

How can I get more reliable sources from a copyrighted material? Stdedos (talk) 10:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Stdedos. The French and English Wikipedias are different projects with different standards and guidelines. The English Wikipedia certainly has the most strict content criteria.
For articles about software, check WP:NSOFTWARE which explains what we need to see in a draft. Your draft has a single reference from blogspot, so it doesn't pass the notability requirements. May I suggest you add some of your article content to the existing Mr Robot article instead? Qcne (talk) 10:46, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The page I tried to translate is the only "crawled" reference that comes up when searching "astu" at Google (some 1.5y ago)
Current results look like this (https://pasteboard.co/fJiY7bNH18xv.png)
Naturally, a more-established domain to store knowledge makes it more worthy.
I am not sure what would make sense including in the main Mr. Robot page, from a small piece that "quickly" describes a fictional command. Stdedos (talk) 11:07, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Mm, sorry but Reddit, Twitter, YCombinator, Blogs etc and such don't count as reliable sources.
Perhaps this simply isn't a topic that is notable enough for Wikipedia. Qcne (talk) 11:10, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

11:01, 3 November 2023 review of submission by 2001:14BB:A0:2383:7A:628:2AFF:DD0B

I don't understand why my article keeps getting declined. I possibly need help with making it comply to Wikipedia's rules and standards or someone to explain which parts are not acceptable.

There already exists a few non-english articles of the same software (article) and other UML tools have their own article pages so it shouldn't be a problem to create one for this specific software also. 

2001:14BB:A0:2383:7A:628:2AFF:DD0B (talk) 11:01, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ps. Forgot to post this question as a logged in user. I haven't contacted the people who have declined the submission before, so I'll try that also. And it seems English wikipedia has stricter standards compared to most other languages. Tapioviina (talk) 11:16, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Tapioviina. Yes indeed, the English Wikipedia has the strictest content guidelines. The other language are all separate projects with different guidelines and standards.
Looking at your draft, I would suggest the issue is that most of the sources used are WP:PRIMARY, with then some insignificant coverage in secondary sources (like installation tutorials). We would need to see significant coverage in multiple (usually at least three) secondary sources that are reliable and indepednent of the topic. Qcne (talk) 11:48, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

12:36, 3 November 2023 review of submission by Loreta Chilingaryan

Hi, my draft article has just been rejected. I want to know the reason of the rejection, so that I can improve it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:SARD_Anti-Cheat Loreta Chilingaryan (talk) 12:36, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Loreta Chilingaryan. Your article was declined, not rejected. Rejected means you wouldn't be able to re-submit. Your draft relies on two primary sources: we would need to see significant coverage in multiple (usually at least three) secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the software in order for this draft to pass the WP:NSOFTWARE guidelines. Qcne (talk) 13:06, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
okay, thank you very much for clarification Loreta Chilingaryan (talk) 13:37, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

12:38, 3 November 2023 review of submission by ParnassusAward

Dear Friends, Could you please help me to edit and submit an article about my favorite writer Valerian Markarov? I will highly appreciate your support. ParnassusAward (talk) 12:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @ParnassusAward. A few issues:
- you included copyrighted text in your draft. This is strictly prohibited and will likely lead to your draft being deleted. You must paraphrase or summarise the sources you use, do not copy them.
- you have zero references and no in-line citations. Biographies of living people must be fully sourced. See the tutorial at WP:INTREFVE.
- you have not proven that Valerian has passed the WP:NAUTHOR criteria. Only authors who pass that criteria may have an article written about them. You can prove notability by following the guidelines on that page.
- you have some tone issues, i.e. "recognizes talented, famous, and successful writers of the world, whose high-spirited, bright, and noble works promote the universal values that unite peoples and make our world better, such as humanism, peace, kindness, justice, and love" and "While his loving and caring mother taught her son lessons of kindness and morality, Valerian's father introduced him to the wonderful world of art and literature". This type of language is completely inappropriate for an encyclopaedia which must be written in a neutral, dry, voice. See WP:NPOV.
Hope that helps, Qcne (talk) 13:09, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources.

19:03, 3 November 2023 review of submission by Llightex

Hi! I wanted to check to learn more about how I can improve this draft. The AfC request was declined because "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)." In the submission, I included several sources that were independent of the subject and included significant coverage of the article subject. Could you provide more guidance as to why those sources were insufficient and what kinds of sources / coverage would be better to add? Copying @AirshipJungleman29: in case you have any insights as well! (thanks for your review) Llightex (talk) 19:03, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Llightex, my reasoning was as follows: the duplicate citations 2 and 4, along with 5 and 6, are non-independent, as they are published by the article subject's employer and thus fall under WP:COISOURCE. As for the others, citations 5 and 7 do not provide significant ccoverage, and citation 1 fails to meet WP:NBASIC—it has plagiarized text from the non-independent citations 2/4, which can be seen to have existed since 2020. Hope that helps. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:15, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

00:24, 4 November 2023 review of submission by MaryGrace0101

The submission I've created for Charles J. Orlando, from my limited experience and standpoint, does pass notability. So many entries I've read that purportedly "pass" notability are *obviously* paid entries and promotional. Whereas what I've written has clear, notable citations, and mainstream sources. I'm unclear what is not passing. (Disclosure: I'm not affiliated with the subject of this entry. Yes, I've followed him and read his books but that shouldn't equate to my being a shill.) I would welcome advise as to why this is rejected in its current draft. MaryGrace0101 (talk) 00:24, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MaryGrace0101 If you have actual evidence that an article was created by an undisclosed paid editor in violation of WP:PAID, please follow the instructions provided in that policy.
Your sources either do not mention Mr. Orlando or are interviews with him. Neither establishes notability, which is why the draft was rejected. 331dot (talk) 00:33, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because I'm still new to wikipedia, and really don't know how to make Wikipedia well, I really want to know what stuff do I need for my Hank Parker racing Wikipedia. MadBlade 2 (talk) 01:57, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My advice to you is to spend a few weeks or months working on improving existing articles while you learn how Wikipedia works. Writing a new article before you have learnt the basics is like buying an instrument you've never played before and going busking with it: you're likely to have a miserable time.
In particular, until you've learnt about notability and the golden rule, you're never going to be able to create an article successfully.
What's wrong with your draft is that there is not a single reference with significant coverage. Never mind the results - where has somebody, wholly unconnected with Hank Parker Racing, written in depth about them? If the answer is, nowhere, then they do not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and you shouldn't spend any more time on this. ColinFine (talk) 11:52, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I have been trying to get this published for a while now, at first it was not enough sources I now have 33 sources, then the sources were not of high enough quality which I also fixed by finding reputable news sources.

The most recent one is that it sounded like an advert which I fixed, Chat GPT did half the work and I fixed the rest.

Now the latest comment is that it is worse than before? Can you provide any specifics on how? It definitely sounds less like an advert. I have found other new articles with minimal refererences and am confused how these get through but this article cannot? Benking84 (talk) 03:12, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

03:16, 4 November 2023 review of submission by MagicN7

@Wingwatchers Thanks for looking at the article. I am a little confused by your comment. Aren't I showing notability by the third criterion of WP:NACADEMIC by showing he is an AMS fellow (less than 1800 all time) and a Simons fellow of math (less than 500 all time)? And which source is not reliable? MagicN7 (talk) 03:16, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MagicN7 I think this is notable under WP:NACADEMIC. That criteria is a special criteria that is distinct from WP:NPEOPLE, and I've certainly made the mistake of forgetting to check if an academic passes that criteria even if they don't seem to pass WP:NPEOPLE. As such, I've accepted the draft. Qcne (talk) 12:18, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Not sure why the reliability of the sources are being challenged? The references mention multiple leading newspapers in India, including the Times of India which is the largest english newspaper in the world. The references also has links to both Dhirubhai Ambani school which is a leading school in India, and Sevenoaks School which is a leading school in UK. The articles talk about championship victories as well as top 3 podium finishes which are factual in nature. The AI Chess tool that has been made has been covered prolifically in the media and also analysed in detail by Chessbase India which is the largest Chess website in the world. These are all very trust sources and I dont think reliability of these sources should be doubted. I have made more edits now, and added a few more press articles and references. I hope the submission wil be reviewed favourably now. Sulohia (talk) 08:58, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Times of India is not the best source to be using, see WP:TOI. Interviews and brief mentions do not establish notability. 331dot (talk) 09:12, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

sorry, but these comments are, like most of the comments I've received, garbage. You claim that the article has not undergone significant revisions. That is false. You claim that the article is not written in a neutral tone. That is false. You've rejected the article now on the grounds that the subject isn't sufficiently notable, whereas previous editors already had accepted it as sufficiently notable--and they were right to do so: a WWII vet decorated by not one but two heads of state (the Queen of England and the President of Czechoslovakia) is, indeed, sufficiently notable. Stop being obstructionist; provide some halfway decent feedback that actually tells me what you want me to fix, in concrete terms, not some vague obstructionist nonsense about writing essays (a previous comment told me that the article was written like a CV; I changed that--and now I'm told it reads like an essay.

Every encyclopedia does so). 191.81.167.26 (talk) 22:00, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi team,

I translated the article from French to English at Draft:Hervé Koubi. The English draft was rejected as insufficiently noteworthy, though.

You need independent reliable sources with significant coverage of him; the sources you have currently are just brief biographies of him and descriptions of his activities.

Hello I received a denial of the article on the reason that the references are not related to the subject. This must be a mistake....For example if one clicks on one of the references https://science.sciencemag.org/content/360/6384/62.full.pdf immediately the Science magazine article that has "Fractional Chern Insulator" in the title appears. Same with the other references. If one googles the first set of 3 papers referenced in the article

T. Neupert, L. Santos, C. Chamon, and C. Mudry, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 236804 (2011); D. N. Sheng, Z.-C. Gu, K. Sun, and L. Sheng, Nature Communications 2, 389 (2011); N. Regnault and B. A. Bernevig, Phys. Rev. X 1, 021014 (2011)

one immediately sees they have around 2000 citations altogether (in google scholar) and they contain fractional chern insulators.

So i have no idea why the reviewer says the article contains no published sources!!! There are many science, nature, phys rev letters and other well known journals in the references

please respond as quickly as possible.

thanks

I don't see where the reviewer says that "the references are not related to the subject".
But putting that aside, you're citing 12 sources, but only two are available online, is that really the case? Of course, offline sources are acceptable, but it would make the reviewer's job much easier if you could point to online versions which almost certainly exist for some or all of those sources.
And if you are going to cite offline sources, then you must provide sufficient details to enable them to be reliable identified and verified. In most of these, the papers' titles aren't even mentioned, and generally the information is quite patchy. Journals should be cited specifically using the {{Cite journal}} template, populating the parameters as fully as possible. And please, do not expect reviewers, or for that matter later readers, to Google your sources, they should be made available without any such additional steps. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:03, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Qemorio: firstly, your draft was just declined, not rejected. Rejection provides no option to resubmit the draft. You, on the other hand, can fix any problems are resubmit for further review by clicking the blue Resubmit button on the pink box at the top of the draft.
The draft was declined by Vanderwaalforces, and the decline reason is listed in the grey box. It's a standard decline reason that basically says the topic has not yet shown to be "notable".

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Hello - Thank you for your feedback. I understand that the reason for rejection of the article is that sources which were not independent and secondary were used. Please could you kindly help point out which articles and references are not compliant with Wikipedia policies exactly? The main first 4 references which are used to describe the subject are ERMC website, World Economic Forum, National University of Singapore and Streamly, none of which were written by the subject. The remainder of the references are just a list publications made by the subject and have no bearing on the description of the subject. Therefore I am really confused as to why this draft is not compliant. Appreciate your kind advice and help. Regards, Technobabylon Technobabylon (talk) 17:04, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Technobabylon anything written by him is a primary source which is not useful so I suggest removing all those sources. A short list of his publications is fine though (around 5-7 of his most notable works based on reviews by reputable critics/publications). What is needed are secondary independent sources that have written in-depth about him or about his work. Also, if you are affiliated with him, you need to declare your conflict of interest.

23:19, 5 November 2023 review of submission by Gulbi Balbulus

Hey,

I wrote the article for this composition for the German Wikipedia and wanted to translate it for the English Wikipedia. My first submission was declined on the grounds of being too much like an essay and not citing enough secondary sources. As everything was already based on academic literature and not my personal opinion I assumed adding references to said sources would suffice. There is now a citation for almost every sentence. However, it was declined a second time with the same reasoning as before. I'm a bit at a loss how to improve any further. Maybe I got the criticism of the article reading more like an essay wrong? My understanding is that it means the article should be based on reliable sources, not my own subjective point of view. But everything said in the article has a citation. I'd be very grateful for any help :) Gulbi Balbulus (talk) 23:19, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the dates Anna Buhigas played professional soccer in her inbox and I can't think of any additional improvements I could make since I have provided third person sources about her career. Dwanyewest (talk) 00:08, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dwanyewest: I'm not quite sure what you mean by "third person sources", but for notability per WP:GNG, we need to see significant coverage (not just passing mentions, match reports, player stats, etc.) directly of her, in multiple secondary sources (newspapers, magazines, TV or radio programmes, etc.) that are reliable and entirely independent of her (ie. not her club or university, and not interviews or press releases or her coach commenting on her, etc.). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:35, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

I have viewed, that my draft of the "Planforge" article was declined. Please review the draft again, as it is an exact translation of the german article "Planforge": https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planforge

Thus, I don't understand, how the draft could not be accepted, as the exact same german article I translated it from, already existed on wikipedia for a long time. Furthermore, as it is a translation, it would be wrong, if I now wrote it completely different than the german one, right?

Thank you and best regards Kristinak98 (talk) 07:16, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kristinak98: each language version of Wikipedia is completely separate, with their own policies and requirements (and the ones here on the English-language Wikipedia are probably the strictest); therefore, whether an article exists on one, says nothing about whether the same article will be accepted on another language version. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:25, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @DoubleGrazing! Tanks for your reply, I will try to rewrite my draft and write a complete new article of Planforge for the English-language Wikipedia to meet its policies. Thanks! Kristinak98 (talk) 12:46, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review. Could you please elaborate on the aspects in which the article needs enhancements for it to be approved? Pedropaulofb (talk) 08:21, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pedropaulofbit seems most of it is supported with publications by the same author, Giancarlo Guizzardi and associates, but what you need are secondary sources that have written in-depth about Unified Foundational Ontology and summarize what they independently say. Please also see the WP:Neutral point of view policy. Wikipedia cannot be the mouthpiece for a single person or group's research, theories, etc. S0091 (talk) 17:59, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

08:39, 6 November 2023 review of submission by Edizengoff

Trying to understand why the article was declined I tried to make it very similar to other book articles for example this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heather_Blazing Edizengoff (talk) 08:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Edizengoff: please don't model your writing on articles that themselves have problems. You need to instead show that the book in question satisfies the relevant notability guidelines, namely WP:NBOOK / WP:BOOKCRIT, and/or WP:GNG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the replay!
The book I am writing about won a major literary award and has sevral academic works written about and a film coming out based on it.
The reason it was declined was "There's lots of sources in google from reputable websites. Read some and write a decent article using them as sources." for which parts should I have used Google for?
Which parts of what I wrote werent decent? Edizengoff (talk) 08:50, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not Google itself you should use as a source, but sources discovered with Google. The book is indeed notable- but you still need to have multiple independent reliable sources summarized in the article. You only have one source. 331dot (talk) 08:57, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why are sources I have picked arent reliable enough? To prove the books has won prized I have cited the prizes webisite. Regarding the plot sumarry I have cited an academic papper and a blog why isnt that enough?
So instead of the blog should I use the book itself as source? I have looked at many other book articles which for thep lot part dont seem to cite any sources at all. Edizengoff (talk) 11:22, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Courtesy ping @Vanderwaalforces Qcne (talk) 11:24, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Qcne thanks for the ping. @Edizengoff The book/novel is notable, I must say, but you see that book you made reference to, it is also a notable one, and I guess nobody wants to nominate it for deletion because of it's status, that article is one of Wikipedia's problem page and we don't want this new one you're creating to become one that is why we want it at a better, or at least a good state. Doing a cursory search return quite a handful of useful materials that you can use to develop the article, a lot that I don't want to start listing, when you do the search yourself you'll find useful things on Google.
I hope you understand this and it helps you. Kudos! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:48, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanderwaalforces
Thanks for the replay I did the Google search read the book itself and read academic papers about which I refrenced in my draft so I am trying to understand how many more sources should be added and in which parts of the article do I need to cite every part of the plot summary and find correct pages in the book? Edizengoff (talk) 11:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Edizengoff As a matter of fact, if you make a statement like The novel received considerable critical acclaim, by its recognition at the Irish Book Awards in 2003 and its nomination for the prestigious International Dublin Literary Award., it should be followed by a citation to a reliable source that says, without confusion, that Oh yes! the novel truely received a critical acclaim by its recognition at the Irish Book Awards in 2003... and so on. It should not be exactly what the source states though, you should write what the source says in your own words. Also, Notably, Alison Light from The Independent provided a commendable review, stating, "McGahern conjures the warmth and decency of working people without sentimentality. should be followed by a citation too, and so on.
These are just examples of what is expected of you. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:04, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My submission was declined. The reviewer said "close, but not enough independent, significant coverage."

I would love some more detail on what coverage is needed. I thought the references provided were enough in number from multiple independent sources. Sirius Stella (talk) 09:21, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sirius Stella: I haven't done a source analysis, just going by what you and the reviewer said. Note that it's not enough for the sources to be numerous, or independent, they must be at once independent and reliable and secondary and provide significant coverage of the subject directly, and there must be "multiple" (which is usually interpreted as three or more) such sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:33, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, for the charts is it enough to cite the website that documents music placements, or do I need a reference to a chart position from a news source? Lastly, it looks like peacocking language was used early on but has been edited out - does there need to be any more tidying before this draft is resubmitted? 220.253.130.93 (talk) 10:38, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fairly sure you just need a source showing the chart position to establish that they've charted.

14:58, 6 November 2023 review of submission by Jbobbink

I am confused about the reasoning behind references not being accepted. Yes, I added a couple of sources like https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/tagged/health/amsterdams-bynder-bringing-cloud-based-130000325.html and https://www.bynder.com/en/about-us/ that do not comply with being "secondary". However, I do not see what is wrong with sources like https://www.forrester.com/blogs/bynders-acquisition-of-webdam-for-49-million-will-force-big-players-to-innovate/ and https://martechseries.com/content/digi-asset-mgmt/bynder-announces-strategic-acquisition-webdam-49-1-million/ Could you clarify? Jbobbink (talk) 14:58, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jbobbink: routine business reporting such as M&A, financial results, appointments, opening of new locations or markets, etc. does not constitute significant coverage, and in any case is invariably based on press materials supplied by the organisation and therefore not considered independent or secondary. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:26, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

15:48, 6 November 2023 review of submission by 65.215.95.162

Given the existence of plenty of other reporters with less accomplishments, it seems strange to have Suzanne Kianpour's career be denied and considered insignificant, especially given she's both listed in Wikipedia already under other BBC reporters with Wikipedia pages for themselves.

Here are examples offered below:

We don't, and you shouldn't, assess drafts by comparing them to other articles that may exist, but by determining whether they meet the relevant guidelines and policies, in this case regarding notability. If you can cite sources which satisfy the WP:GNG notability guideline, it may be possible to have an article published on this subject. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:52, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi IP editor. I rejected this as every source was WP:PRIMARY, so useless at establishing notability under WP:GNG.

Draft has been rejected multiple times and need help with next steps. The page was first rejected for not enough reliable sources. I added in references to make sure the information was well-supported, but the submission was then rejected for having too many sources tied to the subject (this made sense, I did not realize that press releases by related companies were not allowed). I then reworked the page to include information only from independent news outlets and it was just rejected again. I'm a bit unsure what to do next, as I feel like I've shown that Rosen is a notable Cleveland businessman. Can you help me with exactly what next steps to take?

I concur with the latest reviewer. Interviews, passing mentions, press releases / company announcements, routine business reporting and primary sources do not establish notability per WP:GNG. I didn't find even one source among the 18 cited that contributes to that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:50, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

17:06, 6 November 2023 review of submission by Dkoltorcan

Hello, I try to work on the new version of my article about Bernhard Ruchti (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Bernhard_Ruchti). I understand sone of the concerns about the neutral point of view, I can easily fix this. However, I have two questions: - About the comment that is still appearing at the top that says: "This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments, a violation of Wikipedia's terms of use." This is not the case and I don't understand why this comment is appearing here, I have no personal relation with the person and I am not paid by him. I don't receive any incentive or anything else. What should I do (apart from the conversation I already had with your colleague) to have this sentence removed? - About the DOB: I was told that I should prove the DOB. Usually this musicians doesn't display his full DOB online (for example on his website there is only is year of birth) but I found it in a printed program when attending one of his concerts. Can I use a printed program as source of DOB? Also, how to quote it properly so that it is considered valid for Wikipedia? For example, when I look at other musicians' Wikipedia page such as András Schiff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A1s_Schiff) there is no reference after the DOB. Thank you for your help, Dkoltorcan Dkoltorcan (talk) 17:06, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dkoltorcan: regarding the DOB, I don't think you can use a concert programme as a source, because it may not be available for verification, and in any case almost certainly does not qualify as reliable.
And yes, there are inevitably some articles out there where the DOB isn't referenced, in violation of WP:BLP, but this doesn't mean we should be creating more such problems. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:20, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dkoltorcan: forgot to address the paid-editing tag, but this has in the meantime been removed. I was just going to say that it isn't an unreasonable thing to suspect, given that you have uploaded the photo used in this draft as your 'own work', which suggests that you must have been at least once at close quarters with the subject, which in turn may imply some sort of connection. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:23, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is because I asked him for the authorization of using his picture. I would not use it without authorization. The Wikimedia contacted him to confirm that I had the right to use his photo and he provided the necessary paperwork. Dkoltorcan (talk) 20:55, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dkoltorcan he cannot authorize only you to use it or only Wikipedia to use it. Please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for additional information on how the photographer can donate the photo (Bernhard Ruchti is likely not the copyright holder as generally the photographer owns the copyright). Nothing at Commons suggests this has been followed as there is no indication permission has been given. S0091 (talk) 21:11, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is already done. It was the first step. All the paperwork has been signed and there is no issue with the media. @DoubleGrazingwas asking why I downloaded the picture, I replied. This was to reply on the paid-editing tag, which is not the case. Dkoltorcan (talk) 21:41, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I mean uploaded, not downloaded :) Sorry for the typos. Dkoltorcan (talk) 21:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dkoltorcan I have started a discussion on the draft's talk page and pinged you there (Draft talk:Bernhard Ruchti). The photo is not the reason for decline but a reason to suspect a conflict of interest. If you are in anyway affiliated with Ruchti then you do need to WP:DECLARE. I will post a query on your talk page to which you can respond, thus ending the discussion here. S0091 (talk) 22:03, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, noted, thanks. I have been told several times and I have replied. There is no conflict of interest. Dkoltorcan (talk) 22:57, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you have communicated with the subject, that is a conflict of interest. Articles are typically written without any involvement from, or even the knowledge of, the subject. 331dot (talk) 23:21, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I had to ask him permission to use his picture, but apart from that there is no conflict of interest. Dkoltorcan (talk) 23:22, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is sufficient for a conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 23:28, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I see. Can you redirect me to the proper action to take then? Because it was not clear to me what to do next and where to display the fact that I asked M. Ruchti's permission to use his picture? Thank you Dkoltorcan (talk) 23:30, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:COI, but it will be sufficient for you to just write a statement on your user page disclosing your communication with him. 331dot (talk) 23:40, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your help. Do I need to give a link to my Draft? Or to the media itself? Dkoltorcan (talk) 23:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ddllggpro, firstly a single post on social media does not make something 'real'. Secondly Wikipedia has articles about notable subjects, not ones that just exist.

23:19, 6 November 2023 review of submission by Melursus Mare

Helllo! My draft about the magnet school called the Academies of Loudoun. It was rejected for lacking reliable sources. I'm confused about this for two reasons, the first is that many other articles in the same category and locale use the same sources I did. For example, in an article about a high school in the same district (Independence High School in Ashburn) uses sources that came from 6 different publishers, 4 of which I also cited.

Secondly, Wikipedia's reliable sources wiki states that "Similarly, the publisher's web site is likely to be reliable for the fact that the work exists". In my article, for example, I cite the school district's website that certain courses in fact are taught at the school. I frequently cited the school district's website, but only for things that were completely factual, like the population of the school.

Because of this, I'm having trouble finding a way to fix the reputability of my article, how can I do this? Melursus Mare (talk) 23:19, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This person went missing a decade ago but still people talk about him as a connoisseur of this art form. Please reconsider the details furnished and consider for publication. Harry's Word (talk) 08:05, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Harry's Word: this draft has been reviewed and found wanting in terms of evidence of notability. That being the case, what is your question? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:13, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All the press reports supporting this person mentions that he is a notable person. Given that, I am confused on what more evidences of notability are lacking here? Please help me understand that. Harry's Word (talk) 08:42, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Harry's Word: Notability is not 'important' or 'influential' or 'successful'. It's 'the extent to which something has been the topic of media coverage' the extent to which it has been noted.
That being said, Youtube is not a reliable source and should be removed. - RichT|C|E-Mail 09:16, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to ask a question. How do I submit to transfer the draft of Georgios Dritsakos and transfer to the articles in his biography? I want it to be approved and know how to learn it. 108.21.67.83 (talk) 08:37, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This draft has various issues, but the main one is notability: of the three sources cited, one is a close primary one (his CV on the HAF website), one a passing mention, and the third isn't enough on its own to establish notability per WP:GNG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:39, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

08:45, 7 November 2023 review of submission by Athinam7x

Hello, I do not understand how it states that this submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. I did submit all the necessary sources which according to your rules are reliable.

I am the granddaughter of Davoud Meftah, Athina Meftah (daughter of Soleiman Meftah), I wrote in my article a few extra pieces of information that are of course without specific sources, but my knowledge of my family.

Since it was the first time I worked on an article for Wikipedia, I did not have the experience and knowledge to understand the problem and resolve it.

I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to help me.

Thank you very much,

Athina Meftah

The "few extra pieces of information that are of course without specific sources, but my knowledge of my family." will need to be removed, the references need to be placed directly after the content they support. Theroadislong (talk) 08:51, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

11:30, 7 November 2023 review of submission by Catherine Lemieux

Hi, My article was rejected because of unreliable sources for the second time. I would like to understand why, since I used only independent established newspapers. Thank you, Catherine Lemieux 

Catherine Lemieux (talk) 11:30, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Catherine Lemieux: the sources may well be reliable, but the draft isn't adequately supported by them, as there is unreferenced content, and some of the citations may not back up the information provided. By way of an example, the lead section cites only one source, but that source doesn't seem to mention the person's place or year of birth, or that they studied under Šípek... so if those pieces of information didn't come from the cited source, where did they come from? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:30, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You’re right these infos come from other articles (4 other sources which are portraits of the artist from mainstream media) included in my first draft, actually reliable media sources but they included interviews so I had to delete all these references. I will review the draft again to make sure all infos are definitely in the article quoted. Thanks for your feedback. 91.141.36.118 (talk) 19:12, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

12:55, 7 November 2023 review of submission by 137GREAT

the person involved has generated a major impact on the physics world, and did not talk about himself. there are no online reliable sources to which it is possible to quote his backround and therefore the wiki page was created, the information in the artcile was the first time he shared information about himself. It was not accepted due to "reliability" How can there be sources if the guy is an unknown ? People know him by his name, and therefore the wiki was created. 137GREAT (talk) 12:55, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@137GREAT: simply put, Wikipedia articles should be written by summarising what reliable published sources have said about a subject. If no such sources exist, then it isn't possible to summarise them, and hence no article can be written. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:09, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to tell the world about this person, that is precisely what social media or a personal website are for. People must be known to merit articles, you can't create articles to generate notability. 331dot (talk) 16:15, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

14:16, 7 November 2023 review of submission by 73.161.190.187

I see that this page was declined, so looking for more guidance. While the news recently of Adam Johnson's death may seem shocking, Injuries to the neck, and by extension other parts of the body, by Skate Blades during on ice activities, are actually quite common. Some of the players on the page have died due to their necks having been cut by skate blades, aside from the aforementioned Adam Johnson. I hesitated to put if a player was deceased due to the injury, or for example how many stiches they needed. Perhaps this is needed information to obtain approval? I also hesitated to put any additional information regarding neck guards, e.g. neck guards have been mandatory in Canada since the deaths of a few players, as I did not want to make this a page about neck guards and as well, I did not want to dive into what parts of the world require neck guards, but perhaps some information is necessary? Unfortunately, skate injuries are not really similar to injuries in other sports, as well as injuries of other types in hockey. The page aims to show the prevalence and severity of these injuries, and not to draw comparisons to injuries of other types or other sports. We can say that surely some players have hard heart attacks while playing a sport, however it is hard to attribute that injury directly to the game. However, skate injuries are in no doubt literally caused by the equipment and players involved in those on ice activities. Thank you in advance for your time and feedback. 73.161.190.187 (talk) 14:16, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like this would benefit from more context, significance, etc. Now it reads like a list of people injured playing sports – immediately I find myself asking "so what?" I think each entry needs more details: to say that John Doe got injured in 1996 is one thing; to say that John Doe, an experienced professional player got injured in the World Champs final in his neck so badly (without going into too much gore!) that it ended his career, and may have lost his team the medal, is probably a bit more useful. Also, if you could find some sources which discuss the problem of skate-related injuries, perhaps some statistics, etc., and maybe what the athletes, clubs and governing bodies are doing to deal with this problem, it would help flesh out the draft. (I think in saying that I'm concurring with the reviewer also.) HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:50, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting to describe the exact fault. Regards Dranutoshchakraborty (talk) 15:00, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dranutoshchakraborty: this draft has been rejected, and is awaiting deletion, as non-encyclopaedic. Wikipedia does not host how-to guides, promotional content, personal essays, polemic, nor does it promote pseudoscience, fringe theories and the like. This draft comes under more than one of those headings. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:04, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

17:03, 7 November 2023 review of submission by Orion's Toes

Hi, I see the request for providing more sources and in depth coverage of the topic I attempted to publish, however there is unfortunately no more information to provide. This band is essentially lost media, and practically no information exists on the internet. Yet, somehow, with the limited information I had access to, I believe I managed to write a reasonably in depth article. Even though this topic is small, I portrayed it to the best of my ability and all of my sources are credible and relevant. I really hope that we are able to give the article another chance, because it can really help bring the history of this little known band, and important aspect of Vundabar's(the band that resulted from this one) history to light. Thank you for considering my article. Orion's Toes (talk) 17:03, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sources do not need to be online. If there are no more sources, there can't be an article about this band at this time. You may want to find an alternative forum with less stringent requirements to tell the world about this band. 331dot (talk) 19:37, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, what is the problem with the article? The person in question is by far the most influential person in their field of research. The sources include articles from major German newspapers. How can I fix the problem. Many thanks in advance. 

Gruppeder 9b (talk) 18:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If they are influential, then you need independent reliable sources that state that and describe what makes them so. 331dot (talk) 19:35, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

18:46, 7 November 2023 review of submission by ST-UTSCI

Hello, I am seeking some guidance regarding the rejection of this draft. I believe I can address the concerns of notability (as written, the article notes events/product releases but not how those things affect the broader industry as a whole). However, if possible I would like some feedback on the sourcing.

I cited a number of digital archives of older printed journals and magazines and so I wonder if that is part of the issue? I tried, as much as possible, to draw style, source, and formatting examples from articles on companies of similar age/impact in the broadcasting industry. Any guidance would be appreciated. ST-UTSCI (talk) 18:46, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft was declined, not rejected- "rejected" has a specific meaning, that a draft may not be resubmitted. Declined means that it may be resubmitted. 331dot (talk) 19:33, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I am attempting to update my draft page for Sean Murphy's biography. I have included a lot of links to things he has written, but there are also several sources where other writers have quoted him in notable media platforms. Can you help me to understand why these do not qualify as external sources that would make him notable? Morganryan17 (talk) 19:50, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To further elaborate, I know a few other authors, one of which being Jenna Blum, who's page is similar. How is her page notable but Sean Murphy's page is not? Morganryan17 (talk) 19:57, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Morganryan17 I think you linked to the wrong article; I've fixed it with a link to your draft article.
We don't want just mere quotes from him- there needs to be independent reliable sources with significant coverage of him that discuss what they see as important/significant/influential about him, showing how he meets the definition of a notable author. You've documented his media appearances and his work, but not said anything about how either makes him important/significant/influential.

ItsRaihanArifin (talk) 20:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ItsRaihanArifin I fixed your post to display a link to your draft(you had a statement which appeared as a link, which I moved so it doesn't).
Beware in citing other similar articles to compare to yours- these too could be problematic and you would be unaware of this. See other stuff exists. If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those classified as good articles, which have been checked by the community.
Your draft does not 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. Not every organizaton merits a Wikipedia article, even within a field.
If you are associated with this organization, that needs to be declared, please see WP:COI and WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 20:31, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

21:43, 7 November 2023 review of submission by Roc0ast3r

The draft was originally declined for notability issues, then later was re-submitted by the original reviewer, and was declined again for WP:NOTNEWS (at least, I think?). I'll be honest, both comments, at least to me, aren't the most helpful, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding content that violates NOTNEWS. I'm not the most familiar with creating Wikipedia articles, and so I would like to be informed if any content violates that policy. Thanks! RONIN 21:43, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

23:01, 7 November 2023 review of submission by Boohoolane

Greetings!

I see that the article has been marked as needing more sources. Would you prefer that we remove information so that we can expedite approval? It is imperative that we populate more Middle Eastern / North African / Southwest Asian performer pages with notable credits as it is an under-supported community on Wikipedia (see: status of Iranian sub-communities) and in the Entertainment industry wholly.

We do have some very solid sources from Letterboxd, Hollywood Reporter (Deadline), and more. It is also important to keep in mind that The Persian Version is a struck project - because of this sourcing can be sparce until after the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.

We also have compared several existing pages for actors from different backgrounds / with similar resumés that pass the articles of creation and become published. Thankfully we are looking forward to ensuring this page will be adequately updated within all Wikipedia policies and furnished with even more sources. We just need to get the ship moving and send the page to publishing.

Thank you again for your note - please let us know what we can do to ensure the article gets published and we can continue to work on publishing articles on talent from this underrepresented community! Boohoolane (talk) 23:01, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedia Contributors,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request assistance and guidance with editing and submitting a Wikipedia article.

I have been working on an article about Draft:Vasanta Group (PT. Sirius Surya Sentosa) and have reached a point where I would greatly appreciate the expertise and support of experienced editors to ensure that the article meets Wikipedia's content guidelines and quality standards.

The draft article is currently in progress and can be found at the following link: https://w.wiki/85XJ. I have made an effort to make the content as neutral, well-referenced, and informative as possible, but I understand that there might be areas that need improvement.

Here are some specific areas where I would welcome assistance: 

 1. Ensuring the article adheres to Wikipedia's content guidelines, including neutrality and verifiability.
 2. Reviewing and improving the article's structure, flow, and clarity.
 3. Adding relevant citations from reliable sources to support the information presented.
 4. Identifying and addressing any issues that may hinder the article's acceptance on Wikipedia.

I believe that with the help of experienced Wikipedia editors, we can enhance the article's quality and alignment with Wikipedia's standards. Any guidance, edits, or feedback provided would be greatly appreciated.

If you are available to assist with this project, please let me know the best way to collaborate and proceed. I am open to your recommendations and insights to make this article a valuable addition to Wikipedia.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to work together and improve this article.

Sincerely, Erick Wihardja
