:I must say that I agree with Shyamw1. The article says, with a reliable source, that the subject was a member of the Indian cabinet, a slam-dunk pass of [[WP:POLITICIAN]]. I'm finding it very hard to see how your prolific edits at new page patrol, articles for creation and articles for deletion are any better than random, and so how they are a net benefit to Wikipedia. You have been advised by many people, including in a recent [[WP:ANI]] discussion, to slow down and think about what you are doing. If you don't take that advice then it will end in tears.

    Request on 18:06:41, 29 April 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Slothbearina


    Hi Thanks for reviewing my draft of an article on the artist Moritz Götze. It was rejected - despite me providing references from a wide range of sources, as required. This time the reviewer's objection was that the artist's work needed to be in major collections. However, this was never mentioned as a prerequisite the first couple of times. I feel this is unfair. Will there be a different kind of objection every time I try to meet the requirements. Please, check the article again. Once it is up, many more people will contribute and add descriptions of the artist's notability. Thanks! Still hopeful, Slothbearina Slothbearina (talk) 18:06, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    19:05:41, 29 April 2016 review of submission by MarkDPrindle


    I'm not requesting a re-review. I just have a quick question. Is the editor saying that I need more major sources (like Wall Street Journal, Forbes and TechCrunch), more sources overall (meaning that more financial/banking trades would be fine), or both? And what number of sources (major and overall) would be sufficient to show notability?

    Thank you in advance!


    MarkDPringle, I've independently looked at this, and I see no clear evidence of notability. The only substantial article is the one in the Independent. I consider it however the evident product of public relations--essentially a slightly disguised press release, and everything else is an unambiguous press release, or a mere notice. Techchruch is prone to publish material on new and non notable startup companies, and is not a discriminating source--and even it it describes the firm as "Credorax, a small startup" I could judge the likelihood of your being able to find adequate sources would probably depend on the size of the bank, and I see no financial information: that's pretty basic in an article about a financial institution.
    But even more important, since I note you have written on no other topic, is the question of possible conflict on interest. Please see our rules, at WP:COI, and, if they in fact do apply, make the necessary declaration. See also our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure.

    19:13:15, 29 April 2016 review of submission by Thy12


    Hi SwisterTwister !!!

    I made on the changes on the Draft for GreatApps.com which was eliminating the multiple URL's which was links to credible new sources that mentioned the company and its owner.

    I am a little confused on the last remaining issue. Meaning, the links that were there before did come large media outlets which verified the company and the person (in terms of topic of conversation). This translated to different links from different sources. Thus, I am bit confused as to why then this would not be added to Wiki. I am sure you get this often, but I have seen countless items listed in Wiki that have no support whatsoever. At least for my post I did provide it.

    Any guidance outside the standard template or reconsideration would be really helpful.

    Thank you !!! Thy

    Thy12 (talk) 19:13, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Thy12, since SwisterTwister seems a little busy at the moment, I've made an independent review of the draft. I see no notability, and no likelihood of there being sources to show it. The TNW reference is an obvious press release, saying whatever the firm wants them to say. The Crunchbase and alexa items are just directory listings, and cannot be used to show notability.
    Please see also our rules on Conflict of Interest, at WP:COI, and our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure As you have written on no other topic, they might possibly apply. DGG ( talk ) 19:30, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    You are quite right that there are several hundred thousand articles in WP accepted in earlier years when the standards were lower that we need to either upgrade or remove. The least we can do is not add to them.

    A kitten for you!

    I hope you stay

    I'm sorry to hear that you are considering retiring, and sorry that I had to subject you to a deletion review this morning, on what seems to have been a bad day for you in other ways. I often encounter your engagement with AfDs, and have always considered your contributions to be valuable. I hope that you decide to stick around for the long term, even if you take a break.

    emails

    David, I am not receiving your emails, just a note that they have been sent. I have sent you an email giving my email address. Please email me from outside WP. If you haven't gotten it, let me know on my talk p. (I do not know why it isnt working--other email from WP is reaching me OK.) DGG ( talk ) 04:01, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    But in response to what you have probably asked me, certainly don't become discouraged. Just go a little slower and do a little less. You are qwuite good at what you do, but you are sometimes trying to do more than any one person can properly manage. DGG ( talk ) 04:41, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello there, Thank you so much for all of your help! The sources used are from reputable news outlets including MTVNews, Billboard, Vibe Magazine and XXL Magazine. I also wanted to mention that the collaborations alone are with very well established names in the hip hop industry, I hope you reconsider the validity and find that Joey is more than worthy of an introduction through Wikipedia. His manager and I are hoping to have this taken care of quickly, as a press release is about to announce Joey's next tour, which will generate even more sources! I hope all of the citations are up to the standard, thanks again for everything your consideration!!JJBlvcklist (talk) 00:56, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Draft:Discovery and development of memantine and related compounds; uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists. The day after you declined it, the author, User:Tinktura1, cloned the content to Discovery and development of memantine and related compounds. That editor appears to have been a hit'n'run contributor, in keeping with a concern you raised when declining. Any thoughts about PROD vs AFD vs "meh, don't care"?

    When reviewing new articles

    Hi SwisterTwister. When reviewing new articles, please take the time to skim them and see if you can tell if they are a copyright violation. I ask you to do this because CorenSearchBot is not operating at present, and neither is the search engine function of Earwig's tool. A good way to locate copyright violations is to perform a Google search on snippets of suspicious-looking prose. You can also ask Earwig's tool to perform a match-up for you on existing links on the page. If you need any help with this, please let me know. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 18:26, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Undo of Unbiased disambiguation page

    Hi,

    You were a little bit vague with your reason for undoing the revision to the "unbiased" page redirect - you said "Still not enough". Does this mean that disambiguation require more meanings applied to the term? And if so how many do you think would be deemed sufficient or relevant enough before a disambiguation becomes the better tool to use?

    Thanks!

    22:35:39, 3 May 2016 review of submission by Wikienergydc


    Please reconsider your judgment regarding notability. This page cites more than thirty years of independent coverage in trade press, which took considerable time to compile. It also follows the guidance received from many other wiki users in chat room conversations over the last six months. Some specific guidance on edits would be much appreciated.

    Wikienergydc (talk) 22:35, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Why

    You just removed a deletion I put on an obvious vandalism. How so? Isn't the page inapporpriate? 2600:8806:204:CE00:1119:2CDA:B478:1489 (talk) 01:20, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Remember that Wikipedia is not WP:CENSORED and it's not serious vandalism since it links to a connected article. SwisterTwister talk 02:19, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, there's no CSD criterion for offensive titles. If that redirect were to be deleted, it would have to happen at WP:RFD.  Rebbing  02:35, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for explaining. I did not know it was all right on Wikipedia to have potentially offensive words link to articles. 2600:8806:204:CE00:1119:2CDA:B478:1489 (talk) 02:39, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a case-by-case thing. In this case, Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits links to Seven dirty words, a George Carlin monologue about those words, so it makes sense to redirect there.  Rebbing  02:51, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Since you patrolled Tigray Tigrigha people, I thought I ask-what should be done with this article?

    Hi - I think I really need some help here. The article you reviewed (HexaTier - Unified Database Security - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:HexaTier_-_Unified_Database_Security#cite_note-1) was my second draft for this topic, editedafter I had spent some time on the live chat pages, getting a lot of tips and direction. I feel I have included some really good, independent references (e. g. Gartner, Crunchbase, eSecurityPlanet etc.) and find it difficult to understand why it is still rejected. Please give me some more details and guidance if possible. I do not understand why well respected publications are not acceptable as showing "notability". Help, please.

    Request on 19:21:10, 4 May 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by JTNwriter


    From: John Novack (JTNwriter) Hi, First, thank you for your prompt review and feedback on the submission of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Inspire_%28company%29. I see some ways I can make improvements so it meets the standards.

    I have reviewed numerous other company-specific articles. I have dug into a number that are Inspire competitors, direct and indirect. Several I list below seem to have less sourcing, and more "peacock" phrasing. And with all due respect to a few of the companies listed below, what they've accomplished and where they are in the marketplace isn't that notable--and if it is, it isn't clear in their articles. As for "Patient Power," there's a reference that it's the "U.S. leader in online audio and video programs for patients," and that is directly from the founder, Andrew Schorr. I bring up these 4 examples only to try to understand better exactly where and to what degree the Inspire submission still falls short. We are a leader in the fairly new niche in which we operate. Having an online community of three quarter of a million patients/caregivers is significant--far greater than HealthBoards, DailyStrength, and even PatientsLikeMe, which I think has an impressive and detailed Wikipedia page. Inspire works with most of the top 25 pharmas in the world is something few if any of the companies of our type have accomplished. Having exclusive partnerships with so many nonprofit organizations is unparalleled.

    1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HealthBoards (peacock) 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MedHelp (peacock, and NO sources) 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DailyStrength (only 7 sources) 4. Patient Power LLC U.S. leader in online audio and video programs for patients hosted by Andrew Schorr, a medical journalist and 14-year leukemia survivor. Patient Power's reliable resources connect, educate, and empower patients to take a proactive role in their healthcare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_health_communities

    In sum, I appreciate your prior feedback, and I am committed to presenting the editors with the best possible submission for review. Thanks again.

    Hello, I don't understand why this subject is not noteworthy of an entry in Wikipedia. G. Parthasarathy was a noted diplomat who was a very close advisor to Indira Gandhi. He advised her on foreign policy and was the first VC of the Jawaharlal Nehru University. He was India's permanent representative to the United Nations and I think he definitely deserves a place in Wikipedia. Can you please explain why he doesn't fit your criteria for inclusion?
