06:30, 14 September 2024 review of submission by Dbgbr

[edit]

I submitted article to publish with all relevant evidence available on Google search but still it's say not sufficient evidence, kindly help me out.... Dbgbr (talk) 06:30, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dbgbr, your draft has been rejected and speedy deleted. This is the end of the line. Cullen328 (talk) 06:45, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:57, 14 September 2024 review of submission by Royiswariii

[edit]

Hi, I would like to request a review of my draft article Draft:Sining (song). It has been two weeks without any review, decline, or acceptance. I would appreciate a review so I can make any necessary changes if there’s something wrong, or if it’s accepted, it would give me peace of mind. Thanks! Royiswariii (talk) 08:57, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Royiswariii I fixed your header to put a link to your draft in the correct location(you had the words "draft article" there). As noted on your draft, "This may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 1,516 pending submissions waiting for review." You will be informed when the review is conducted, and if the draft was accepted or not. If it was not accepted, the reviewer will leave you feedback. Please be patient. 331dot (talk) 09:00, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

17:14, 14 September 2024 review of submission by Abhi2002pathak

[edit]

I am trying to create a neutral page for this politician, actually here is the reason why she needs a Wikipedia page. There is one lady criminal Neera Yadav and people who want to search Neeru get confused by Neera's name, creating a problem. I just want people not to rush down to the decision that this is biased article. I have not relation with her I just want to remove this confusion. Abhi2002pathak (talk) 17:14, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abhi2002pathak. Your statement that she "needs a Wikipedia page" is based on a (very common) misconception. A Wikipedia article about a subject is not in any way at all for the benefit (or detriment) of that subject. If Yadav meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability (perhaps the more specific notability for politicians) then there can be an article about her: if she does not, then there cannot be an article about her.
The existence of somebody else with a similar name is of no relevance at all to deciding whether or not an article can be accepted. ColinFine (talk) 17:35, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Having looked at Draft:Neeru Yadav, I think she may well be notable. But I notice that some sections of the draft are unreferenced: specifically, "Early Life", and most of "Achievements and recognition" - note that Wikipedia does not normally take notice of awards unless either 1) the award itself is sufficiently notable that there is a Wikipedia article about it, or 2) the subject winning the award has been written about at some length by an independent commentator.
I have wikilinked the word "sarpanch", as people outside India are not likely to be familiar with it.
I have also restored all the WP:AFC messages and comments, which you should not have removed. That will allow you to resubmit the draft when it is ready. ColinFine (talk) 17:47, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much I am collecting more reliable sources to justify this page. I will resubmit when I am ready to review. 2405:201:6807:C8B6:EDB9:F98B:8473:73B2 (talk) 09:14, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Abhi2002pathak: just out of curiosity, how do you know this person has a problem with people confusing her with her namesake?
Also, could you please stop tampering with the AfC (and other) templates in this draft, they're there for a reason. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:57, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am now not going to do Anything with templates people have added. Btw I got to know about her as I was surfing on Wikipedia and got on Wikipedia page of hockey. Then by curiosity I find about people and news about hockey in my state. I would appreciate required for this page. 2405:201:6807:C8B6:EDB9:F98B:8473:73B2 (talk) 09:18, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello i have submitted an article on kendo master Tomio Otani. I wanted to see if it could be reviewed and accepted and whether there are any suggestions for improvement, thanks! Finlay73 (talk) 22:07, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have submitted it for review, as indicated on your draft, this could take time. If not accepted, the reviewer will leave feedback. 331dot (talk) 22:42, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

can you please accept it now? Sarim Wani (talk) 08:43, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have resubmitted it for a review. As noted on the draft, this could take some time, please be patient. There is no way to speed up this process, which is conducted by volunteers. Do you have a particular need for a speedy review? 331dot (talk) 08:49, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:37, 15 September 2024 review of submission by Kaspatik

[edit]

Mostly to do with citations relating to some bits of the sumotori article, unless I'm not using the right keywords to fetch articles or what, but it's really a struggle from what I could fetch from. Kaspatik (talk) 10:37, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you read WP:42 carefully, and evaluate each of you sources against the criteria there. I suspect that most of your sources are of limited value (and do not contribute towards establishing notability) and some of them are worthless for Wikipedia.
Note that a citation that just shows that something exists is nearly worthless: if this is significant, then there will be indpendendent sources about it, and if there aren't, why is it significant enough to be mentioned in a Wikipedia article? ColinFine (talk) 10:59, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I figured it was gonna be like this. Atleast with ways I was going about the article (and the citations), mostly for the niche subject around Sumotori dreams. But alas though It's roadblock that I hit little after doing research and the alike into it and stuff like that on wikipedia is the least concerning subject to cover. Kaspatik (talk) 12:07, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:03, 15 September 2024 review of submission by Nalabala1323

[edit]

To help formatting the page and citing sufficient content and information. They are filming here in Louisville, Kentucky and our little town in Frankfort, Kentucky and I’ve been doing research on the film Carolina Caroline and spoke to some crew and one of the producers which was why based on information I’ve gathered Mr. Ward should have a page. His wife Brittany Ward is also a producer on the film and she produces and manages Elle and Dakota Fanning as well as Liz Hannah who wrote the Movie The Post directed by Steven Speilberg starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. Ms. Ward and Mr. Ward also producer many other projects for Hulu, Amazon and Netflix. They have worked together on many projects. The Girl from Plainville and THE Great which had three season on Hulu starring Elle Fanning and Nick Hoult. I have drafted a new page but would love help on this project and page. Much appreciated! Nalabala1323 (talk) 11:03, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nalabala1323: we don't get involved in co-editing here at the help desk. If you have specific questions, you may ask those, of course.
In any case, this draft has been rejected, and will therefore not be considered further.
Also, just so you know for future reference, your own interviews and other research, while no doubt interesting to conduct, isn't useful on Wikipedia, as that comes under original research which is not allowed. We are only interested in what reliable published sources have said about a subject.
Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:07, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but the sites and references do show past films, current films and the films worked on which to my findings have grossed hundreds of millions of Dollars at box office and projects the gentleman has worked with A list actors and directors and it links to his current film production filming here in Kentucky Carolina Caroline and he is on that page so why would it not be of interest to put context behind his credits and colleagues? Nalabala1323 (talk) 11:16, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But that doesn't change the fact that those things are original research. There are places to publish that, Wikipedia isn't one of them, sorry. 331dot (talk) 11:32, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nalabala1323: What you're basically trying to argue is that the film is notable due to its personnel's notability. We do not accept that argument (and we never have); the film needs to be notable on its own merits regardless of the notability of the names attached to it. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:18, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:37, 15 September 2024 review of submission by 2A02:C7C:8AEE:DF00:60F4:E261:6D57:5B34

[edit]

Hi there,

I am a British milliner and I recently paid someone to build a page for me which they were clearly unable to do successfully.

I am not able to access it to make changes that would make it more suitable for you.

Can you offer and assistance? 2A02:C7C:8AEE:DF00:60F4:E261:6D57:5B34 (talk) 11:37, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed your link for proper display. There is nothing preventing you from editing the draft, but doing so would be academic, as it has been rejected and will not be considered further at this time. The issues from the first attempt at a draft were not resolved. In terms of you editing the draft, please see the autobiography policy.
It appears that you may have been scammed, see WP:SCAM. If you're certain the editor is legitimately trying to write an acceptable draft, they failed to comply with our policies, including making the Terms of Use required paid editing disclosure. I might try to get my money back if I were you, but it may not happen. 331dot (talk) 11:56, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for confirming what seemed pretty obvious all along, namely that the two editors involved (which I actually rather suspect to be one editor using two accounts) were, and are, undisclosed paid editors. This was queried several times, but no response was ever provided.
I hope you can get your money back, although I expect you probably won't, regrettably. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:04, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No payment for this, just star struck they have been filming in our small towns in Kentucky and they shot scenes at two of our stores so I’ve got an inside look how movies are made and it’s fascinating. I’m not professional and wouldn’t except anything for doing something I’m passionate about and trying to learn in my off time. Nalabala1323 (talk) 12:18, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nalabala1323: you probably meant to reply in your own thread (the one above this one)? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, thanks for clarifying!! If you can help in the future I would like to continue and grow within wiki and the community’s I’m passionate about. Thanks again! Nalabala1323 (talk) 12:25, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

12:35, 15 September 2024 review of submission by Nalabala1323

[edit]

I don’t fully understand as I’m new to this and have spent numerous hours researching the gentleman and the company that is filming in our small town and Kentucky. I found numerous publications about the producer as well as the film and their colleagues and other producers when I checked the Carolina Carolina Film page on wiki they named as well as Mr. Ward and he has substantial credits as colleagues Tim and Trevor White from what I see so any help would be appreciated to be able to site the correct references doing a thorough research. He’s been involved in over 40 movies with a list, actors and directors, I don’t know why that wouldn’t be acceptable as there are some film Producers I’ve looked up that have pages and don’t have nearly as much success or years of experience. Is it that I’m not coding or writing correctly? Nalabala1323 (talk) 12:35, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not enough to just document the existence of his work. You must gather and summarize independent reliable sources that give him significant coverage- coverage which goes into detail about his importance/significance/influence to filmmaking(if you are asserting he is a notable creative professional) or just meets the broader notable person definition. 331dot (talk) 12:43, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

16:52, 15 September 2024 review of submission by BellaNYork

[edit]

Seek guidance from colleagues in here:

As per WP:OUTCOMES district magistrates are notable as such holding the career perspective.

( Political figures not elected to public office Sub-cabinet officials (assistant secretary, commissioner, etc.) are usually considered notable, especially if they have had otherwise notable careers. ) 

BellaNYork (talk) 16:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BellaNYork: in a word, no. Civil servants are not inherently notable, and neither is sub-state anyone, whether in a political or administrative role. In any case, such notabilities would only be presumed, not absolute, so the onus is on you to demonstrate that the subject is notable, rather than for the reviewer to demonstrate the opposite. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:11, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Your guidance is helpful to understand better. Much appreciated. BellaNYork (talk) 04:03, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BellaNYork: Let's test that assertion. Refer to my /Decode subpage (linked in my signature as "critiques"):
None of your sources help for notability. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:14, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And to add to the above, WP:OUTCOMES is not a policy nor a guideline, but an essay. --bonadea contributions talk 18:18, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

22:33, 15 September 2024 review of submission by Jacob David Dove Pottage

[edit]

I want clarification on the standards for sources, I want to write an article about a living popular YouTuber, most of what is known about him is based off of what he has said about himself, do his own videos where he talks about his life count as reliable sources? Jacob David Dove Pottage (talk) 22:33, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jacob David Dove Pottage I fixed your link, you need the "Draft:" portion. No, we are not interested in what someone says about themselves, only in what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about persons that meet our definition of a notable person. If the only sources are someone speaking about themselves, they do not merit a Wikipedia article. We are looking for things like news reports, professional reviews, books, etc. YouTube videos(even if independent) are not acceptable sources unless they are from reputable news outlets on their verified channel. 331dot (talk) 22:39, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was confused, I though the draft existed already. 331dot (talk) 22:40, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

00:51, 16 September 2024 review of submission by SCAFP213

[edit]

The person who edited this Goodfellow Bros. entry said that there were citing errors. But the citing looks correct. Instead of using "foo," I used multiple 1, etc. because there was not just one multiple. I couldn't call every multiple citing "foo." Please explain why this is incorrect. Also, the article is worthy of a wikipedia entry. It is a 100-year old company that was instrumental in the development of the region. It is every bit as worthy as an entry like that of a similar company Kiewit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiewit_Corporation. The references are in-depth, reliable, secondary and strictly independent of the subject. I think it's irresponsible and arbitrary to reject this entry. SCAFP213 (talk) 00:51, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you scroll to the bottom of the draft, you'll see the text Cite error: The named reference "multiple 1" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page). Click on the link to the help page – it explains what's wrong and how to fix it. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

02:19, 16 September 2024 review of submission by Rafael Daiki Ando

[edit]

Good night! I rewrote the International Economics Olympiad article and would like to know if it is good now. If not, could you provide more information about what is expected from the article? Thank you! Rafael Daiki Ando (talk) 02:19, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected by @Star Mississippi in January, with the comment Despite multiple attempts over the years, it does not appear there has ever been sufficient coverage to establish notability. "Rejected" means that it cannot be resubmitted.
If you believe that there is relevant coverage (that meets all the criteria in WP:42) that was either not found in January or has been published since, you need to ask Star Mississippi to reconsider it. But please do not do so unless you are sure that the sources are now adequate for Wikipedia. ColinFine (talk) 09:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thanks @ColinFine. My opinion remains the same but if another reviewer sees things differently,happy to revisit. Star Mississippi 02:40, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

04:34, 16 September 2024 review of submission by High Admiral JMT

[edit]

I see that almost every named storm had a list. Pulasan is a new name and one storm just formed with this name. The material is similar to all other lists. Why then is it rejected? High Admiral JMT (talk) 04:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@High Admiral JMT: this draft was declined (not 'rejected') because the subject is not notable. It's also not much of a list, if you only have a single item, which begs the question why create a list article on a non-list, especially when that single item already has an article of its own. (And no, "almost every named storm ha[ving] a list" is not a valid reason.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:13, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

04:49, 16 September 2024 review of submission by Linaa06

[edit]

Hi, I'm struggling with how to find reliable source for my company introduction page in Wikipedia platform. Our company is quite new, so the only thing we get is the document, links from our company sites, PR articles and some social post with others parners.

May I ask about what we can consider as a reliable source for a new business like my company?

Thank you so much Linaa06 (talk) 04:49, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Linaa06: I don't know what company, or what draft, you're talking about, but by the sound of things it's unlikely to be notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Also, just to say that there are no "company introduction pages" here. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a business directory. We publish encyclopaedic articles on subjects which are notable. If you wish to tell the world about your business, you need to find a different platform such as LinkedIn etc. Note also that promotion of any kind is not allowed. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most companies (like most people, most bands, most charities, most schools, most streets, etc) have not been written about sufficiently to meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and so cannot currently have articles about them in Wikipedia. ColinFine (talk) 09:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:34, 16 September 2024 review of submission by VvS77qq

[edit]

I removed the trivia section as suggested. Unfortunately I have problems with the commented "several unsourced statements". I tried to give references to all claims/statements. If I hadn't any, I did not publish the corresponding parts. So, I really tried to be as precise as possible - not giving at least an example of "several unsourced statements" does not help me in improving the article and seems just like a "copy-paste-argument". Any help or hint on this is highly appreciated! VvS77qq (talk) 08:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@VvS77qq: I count at least a dozen paragraphs, in other words the majority of the draft contents, without any referencing. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:16, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:36, 16 September 2024 review of submission by High Admiral JMT

[edit]

I think we still need this page, as currently I see that it is almost inevitable that more storms named Pulasan will develop, in 2030 and possibly in 2036, 2042, etc. I think we need this page for the present, as it will develop. High Admiral JMT (talk) 08:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When new storms are given that name, and there is material published about storms called Pulasan (not just about individual storms) then it is possible that there can be a Wikipedia list. We do not published articles because they may be useful in the future. See WP:TOOSOON. ColinFine (talk) 09:10, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Timashaedirisinghe: your draft has not been published yet, it was declined by the reviewer. Search engines cannot see unpublished drafts, that's why it won't appear on Google.
What is your relationship to the subject of your draft? I've posted a message on your talk page about conflicts of interest, please read and respond to it. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:02, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear sir, Im unrelated to the subject she is a television presenter in srilanka and she is a celebrity as she has won the 4th runner up title at Miss rilanka universe 2007 pageant and works as an actress and a Televion presenter. and represented srilanka in india as an actress.the purpose of this article is to give her respect as an achiever who has achieved so many things since her young age which she still does . Timashaedirisinghe (talk) 06:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Timashaedirisinghe: so the fact that her name and your user name both have 'Edirisinghe' in them is just a coincidence? Also, you've included a lot of personal details in your draft which don't seem to come from any of the sources listed, so where did you get all that information from? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:27, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear sir, yes the reason im interested in her achievements is also the same "Edirisinghe" name as i also has the same username as mine is also the same name and it is a coincidence .this name is a very common name here . The personal details are from magazines in srilanka she is quite famous here and all the celebs information mentioned in magazines. apologies if i had been updating incorrectly sir. Timashaedirisinghe (talk) 15:34, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you get your information from magazines you need to be properly citing those sources, even if they are not online. See referencing for beginners. YouTube and Facebook are not valid sources. 331dot (talk) 15:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:27, 16 September 2024 review of submission by Viljowf

[edit]

In my view, the author has addressed the previous comments adequately. There are numerous sources citing reviews of an important scholarly work on South African music history. An entire thesis chapter is dedicated to the subject.If an entry on the Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_of_Australian_Rock_and_Pop#:~:text=The%20Encyclopedia%20of%20Australian%20Rock,but%20is%20not%20otherwise%20relates qualifies, surely this one does too.

FWIW, I agree, and pretty much said so when this was raised here last month. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The range of coverage from South African Journal of Musicology, The Musical Times, and African Affairs, all notable publications in their own right, seem more than adequate for a reference work like this.

Your sources are a mix of passing mentions, the subject commenting on things, and primary sources. For notability per [{WP:GNG]], we need to see multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent (of the subject, and of each other) and reliable, and provide significant coverage directly of the subject. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:01, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

My draft: Norman Mathews article continues to be rejected because, "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." I don't understand this because the sources I used include the NY Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Reader, Playbill, and various other major sources. Why are these insufficient? Also, there is the claim that some of the sources are unreliable. Could someone please point specifically to one or two unreliable sources I've quoted in the draft so that I may understand the problem better and eliminate them? I've read the articles on citing sources but can learn nothing as to why the sources I have used are inadequate. Please Help. Thanks. San1976Marino (talk) 01:56, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@San1976Marino: nobody is saying that all your sources are unreliable, only that some are. User-generated content in particular is not considered reliable, because it isn't subject to editorial oversight; to put it bluntly, anyone can publish any old rubbish they want. In the case of this draft, that means Bookbaby, YouTube and SoundCloud.
The bigger problem is that too much of the content is unsupported by any sources. From what source did you get the DOB? Where does the info in the 'Early life and education' section come from, or in 'Musician'? Articles on living people (WP:BLP) have particularly strict referencing requirements, and pretty much every statement needs to be clearly backed up by a reliable source.

Article development

[edit]

am a kenyan artist kindly how can i develop an article for me? Prince Ackley (talk) 08:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Put bluntly: you don't.
Writing a Wikipedia article about yourself is very strongly discouraged, because it is almost impossible for most people to write about themselves in a sufficiently neutral way.
Note that, if there is ever an article about you, whoever writes it:
  • it will not belong to you
  • it will not necessarily say what you want it to say
  • it should be based almost entirely on what people unconnected with you have published about you, not on what you or your associates say or want to say.
  • it will be able to be edited by almost anybody in the world except you and your associates. (You would be able to request edits, but an uninvolved editor would decide how to respond to your request).
In short, Wikipedia may not be used for promotion (ie "telling the world about yourself").
I suggest you put your time and effort to other things. ColinFine (talk) 09:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would add that Wikipedia has no interest in aiding your fans, or in enhancing search results for you, or your Google knowledge panel(for which the presence of a Wikipedia article is only one possible input). 331dot (talk) 09:46, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So its impossible... Prince Ackley (talk) 10:15, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not impossible if you meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability (most artists don't), but very difficult, and you may not be happy with the result. ColinFine (talk) 10:37, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:37, 17 September 2024 review of submission by Fsekoech

[edit]

Hi, I have made changes to the article over 6 times. The reviewers point out one issue at a time, kindly address all the issues at once, or tell me exactly where the issue is so that I can fix it. As the article stands, it is perfect for me. Make the changes or be specific with the error. Kind regards. Fsekoech (talk) 10:37, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that you are having an experience that is very common for editors who attempt the extremely difficult task of creating an article before they have spent significant time learning how Wikipedia works.
If you took up a new sport, and immediately entered a tournament, you would not expect to do well in it; but (assuming experts bothered to give you feedback on your performance) you would probably not understand what they were saying, because you had not spent time learning how the sport worked.
This is much the same. My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft. ColinFine (talk) 10:42, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fsekoech: due to technical limitations, a draft can only be declined for at most two reasons. If it has several declinable issues, then it is possible for each reviewer to decline it for different reasons. Reviewers don't have to decline for any particular reason, such as for some sort of 'major' or 'primary' reason, or for the same reason as in the previous decline; they can decline for any reason that is valid. Also, declining for a different reason than in the previous decline does not necessarily mean that that reason no longer applies.
Case in point, earlier I declined this for lack of evidence of notability and insufficient referencing, and I can tell you that both of those problems still persist, even though other reviewers have subsequently declined this for different reasons.
On a different matter, can you confirm that you have read and understood WP:AUTOBIO, which explains why you shouldn't be writing about yourself at all? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:15, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not writing about myself, however, I was working on a friend's article in order to acquire the technical-know-how as I would like to write about computer science. I have made necessary changes to the references, you can check it out, kindly Fsekoech (talk) 19:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The Moriyama Teshima Architects article I had drafted for creation has been in review since March 6th (+/- 6 months). I suspect the delay has to do with the submission having been declined, though all of the comments made by editors were applied promptly. Is there any way I can improve my odds of having it reviewed and approved within a reasonable timeframe? Thank you! JLzero02 (talk) 14:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing you can do to speed the review process; drafts are reviewed in no particular order by volunteers. 331dot (talk) 14:48, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JLzero02: just for the record, we count waiting times from the most recent submission, which in this case was c. 3 ½ months ago. Still quite a long time, but not as bad as 6 months.
A draft with 50+ citations will tend to put off reviewers. Personally, I would take out the entire 'Major Projects' section and the corresponding sources, or at least cut it down dramatically to the most notable ones only.
Either in addition to or instead of that, you could highlight the 3-5 sources that you feel are strongest in terms of establishing notability according to the WP:NCORP guideline. This would mean that the reviewer wouldn't have to sift through all 52 to find the few that really matter.
While this wouldn't necessarily expedite the review per se, it might at least encourage a reviewer who comes across this draft to review it rather than to groan and move swiftly on... -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:57, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would kindly say that if English is not your first language, you may want to edit the Wikipedia of your primary language.
You have just told what the event is, and what happens there, you have not summarized what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the event, showing how it is a notable event as Wikipedia defines it. 331dot (talk) 17:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please note 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.

Dear, 331dot and ColinFine, I inserted a lot of independent media sources which is talking about the summit. Please, consider that. Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 19:03, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sources published in advance of an event are almost always regurgitations of press releases, and so are not independent.

Can you please give me a few tips to understand what requirements I am not meeting? Do I need better citations? Many thanks! M (talk) 15:24, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You declared a conflict of interest, what is the general nature of it?
The draft just documents his qualifications and work. It should mostly summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about him and what makes him a notable creative professional. Most of the claim looks to be like he is associated with notable people, but notability is not inherited by association. You talk a little about a photo of Madonna kissing Britney Spears, but don't discuss it beyond it being widely printed, which is the case for images of any top tier celebrity. Do any sources discuss the photo itself and its artistry/style that presumably the photographer played a role in? Stuff like that. 331dot (talk) 15:40, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Re conflict of interest: I know this person socially.

@Matt.ruhstaller: this draft was declined for lack of evidence of notability. There are two ways to demonstrate that, either via the general WP:GNG or the special WP:PHOTOGRAPHER notability guidelines. Study those, and see if you can find evidence that the subject meets either. (Hint: the GNG one needs coverage in multiple secondary sources; the PHOTOGRAPHER one requires a significant career with major achievements in their field.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:41, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It requires sources that meet all three of the criteria in WP:42. Note that the StarPhoenix piece does not do so, since it is obvious that it says very little about the convention that does not come striaght from the organisers.
Unless you can find several places where people wholly unconnected with the convention, and not primed with an interview or press release, have chosen to write at some length about the convention, you will not be able to establish notability. ColinFine (talk) 15:44, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would an AfC reviewer mind taking a look at Thomas Hui To? It appears to have been submitted for review by the article's creator, who then moved it directly to the mainspace themselves a few weeks later. There's also some mention of the creator being "connected" to the subject in a post made at Talk:Thomas Hui To: so, their moving the draft to the mainspace themselves could be an issue per WP:COIEDIT.

The guideline page Wikipedia:Reliable sources gives helpful guidance on identifying reliable sources.

22:53, 17 September 2024 review of submission by Elfelix

[edit]

AfC second request: Draft:Sudarshan Kapur.

Sudarshan Kapur is NOT the same person as Sudarshan Kapoor (see Talk:Sudarshan Kapoor and Draft talk:Sudarshan Kapur). Note: the book Raising Up a Prophet (1992) was written by Sudarshan Kapur.

The first AfC request was recently refused based on a patent misunderstanding of the above information.

The above Draft article about Sudarshan Kapur should be entered into Wikipedia proper. It was recently written (since November 2023, and by elfelix starting April 2024); it includes information once mistakenly contained in another Wikipedia article ("Sudarshan Kapoor"). Apparently the reason why the above Draft article was not 'in due course' published on Wikipedia is due to its conflation with that prior article of a similar name: "Sudarshan Kapoor".

The article Sudarshan Kapoor, by mistake, used to contained information about Sudarshan Kapur. This mistaken information in the Kapoor article was deleted on June 6, 2024.

The basic difference between these two articles is already stated above.

The reasons for the mistaken conflation of Kapur and Kapoor: 1) both are American professors of similar age, originally from India, with a career focus on Gandhi and nonviolent political action; 2) it seems that a person of India with such a name might transliterate it to either Kapur or to Kapoor.

The user elfelix is the party first responsible for this Wikipedia mistake.

The AfC first request by elfelix was likely made in June 2024. Elfelix (talk) 22:53, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

My article was declined due to unreliable resources. However, my resources, i.e. the news articles cited, are credible, but I believe the reason that they are being flagged is because the url to these articles require subscriptions to view. Because these are historic newspapers, from the 1970s, while they may not be easily accessible they can be located with a few extra steps.

In this situation, would I be better off not linking the articles to a url, and citing only the articles themselves? 1972SUnite (talk) 04:11, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the reviewer was more concerned about its sparse sourcing rather than reliability. Many of the claims present are not backed up with a inline citation, and contains unattributed opinions. Text like " The events of November 16, 1972, may have tested their endurance, but their unwavering commitment to the development of Black social consciousness remains and will continue to be an everlasting legacy." belongs in an argumentative essay, not in an encyclopedia.

I fixed your header, you had the words "advice on declined submission" where the draft title should go. The whole url is not needed so I removed that, too. Remember to log in when posting.
Most of the awards do not contribute towards notability as the awards lack articles themselves(like Academy Award or Nobel Peace Prize), though Lakeland Book of the Year has one. You have references, but they are not in line next to the information they support, see Referencing for beginners. You have desribed her curator work but not said what independent sources consider notable about it, how it was particularly important/significant/influential.
If you are the creator of the draft, your username suggests you are connected to this person, what is the connection? 331dot (talk) 12:48, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This refers to notability, which is a core requirement for inclusion in the encyclopaedia. You need to cite multiple (3+) sources that are secondary (mainly print or broadcast media covering the subject from an external perspective), and reliable (editorial oversight, fact-checking, etc.), and entirely independent of the subject and of each other, and that have provided significant coverage (not just passing mentions, brief 'profiles', etc.) of the subject. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:49, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rickmood I fixed your link, you need the "Draft:" portion. Your draft was declined, not rejected. Rejected has a specific meaning in the draft submission process, that a draft may not be resubmitted. Declined means that it may be resubmitted(and you have done so). The reviewer will leave you feedback, as prior reviewers have. Do you have specific questions about that feedback?

[edit]

I hope this message finds you well! I would appreciate your suggestions regarding the recent rejection of my article. Could you please explain why the article about Mridul Mahmud was rejected?

Mridul Mahmud is an entrepreneur currently generating a six-to-seven-figure (USD) income every month, making his online identity very important. He is the Founder and CEO of Affixin Media, and his role is highly relevant to the industry.

Could you advise me on what steps I should take to have the article about Mridul Mahmud approved?

I look forward to your reply and guidance. Best regards, Rakin

@Rakin Mahmud: we don't give a [fill in your favourite expletive here] how much money this person makes, it has nothing to do with, well, anything really.

Hello,

I recently submitted a draft article about the law firm, Steptoe & Johnson PLLC and it was declined, the reason was that there is another Wikipedia article about Steptoe LLP and was recommended to edit that entry. However, both are separate law firms from each other, and would think they warrant separate entries.

Are there recommendations on how to handle or navigate this situation? Both entities have very similar names but are independent from each other.

I'm not sure how to navigate the Catwurst (talk) 19:50, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello,

I would be grateful for any guidance on how I might improve the sources to meet the necessary standards.

My page was declined with the comment: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." However, I'm not sure whether the concern lies with specific sources I've used or if it pertains to all of them.

I have gone through the "Referencing for Beginners" and "Citing Sources" guidelines and ensured that every statement is backed by sources. Most of these are from small to medium-sized music blogs, zines, and portals. While they may not be on the scale of something like Metal Hammer, I made sure they aren’t from platforms with only 1-2k followers. In fact, I have also included a publication from Rock Hard Italy, which I believe is quite reputable. Importantly, I have avoided linking to our own site or socials, and I’ve been very careful not to use anything that could be viewed as manipulative or self-promotional.

Thank you so much for your time and assistance. 79.184.255.204 (talk) 20:55, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This draft was declined because the reviewer felt that the subject wasn't notable. The notability guideline for books is WP:NBOOK; please study that, and consider what evidence you can provide that this book meets the guideline. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:31, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for our help!
I still don't understand why my draft has been rejected. How can I prove the notability?
It is a translated page from the original Japanese wiki article regarding a Light novel title, it has decent popularity as it won the 1st place of the most important Light Novel Award in Japan last year. The English version of Comic has been licensed and Vol.1 has been published, Vol.2 will be out next Feb.
There is also Chinese wiki page of it even through there is no official Chinese translated work published yet.
If I add in the English Publisher information, will it help?
Sorry to be a pain!
Many thanks, WisteriaxLloyd (talk) 15:03, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WisteriaxLloyd: this draft was only declined, not rejected. Rejection means the end of the road; decline means you're allowed to resubmit once you've addressed the decline reasons.
Whether an article on this subject has been accepted into the Japanese or Chinese Wikipedia is not relevant here, as each language version is a completely separate project with their own rules and requirements. For publication on the English-language Wikipedia, the draft needs to meet our notability standards.
As I already mentioned, the relevant notability guideline for books is found at WP:NBOOK, please familiarise yourself with that, and demonstrate with evidence that this book meets it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:10, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick reply! Much appreciated!
I will try working on the English Publisher details in this case as this is the only thing regarding notability.
Once that is done I will re-submit.

Hello,

The bit that you are missing is that in order to contribute to establishing notability, sources must be independent. 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.

Hi, I'm really not sure why this submission does not qualify as a list or why it got declined, when it is basically identical in concept to many other accepted lists like it (Ex: List of Washington Capitals players, or List of Ottawa Senators players).

You could ask the reviewer to reconsider. Note that it's not usually a good idea to cite other articles as a reason for yours, as those too could be inappropriate, see other stuff exists. Each draft or article is judged on its own merits.

@Kingofports: it isn't pending; it was declined in August, and hasn't been edited since. Before that, it was declined in July, by a different reviewer, and you just resubmitted it without any improvement. If you carry on like that, it will eventually get rejected outright, without the option to resubmit.
I'm not sure what exactly you're asking for. You've not made any improvements since the last decline (or rather, last two declines). I see no reason to overrule two reviewers' assessments, who both concluded that notability hasn't been established.
What is your interest in this subject? If you have an external relationship with the subject, you must disclose it. This has been queried on your talk page months ago, but so far you appear not to have responded to it.

Dear Sir,
I would like to clarify that I do not have any personal relationship with the subject. My aim is to publish profiles of notable individuals from the business world who deserve recognition on Wikipedia. The subject in question is a well-known figure, and I believe there is a strong case for him to have a dedicated page.
Once this entry is published, I plan to pursue profiles of other prominent individuals who also merit a presence on this valuable platform. Kingofports (talk) 10:25, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kingofports: you uploaded a photo of Adani as your own work. Either he posed for you, in which case we need to understand how that happened, given your assurances that you have no relationship with him; or you didn't actually take that photo yourself and have instead almost certainly violated someone else's copyright by releasing this image into the public domain. Would you care to clarify which it is? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:32, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The overwhelming majority of your sources are under role bylines (we're sceptical of these because they're used very frequently to launder PR as news).

What we're looking for is in-depth, non-routine, independent-of-the-subject news/scholarly sources that discuss the subject at length, are written by identifiable authors, and subject to fact-checking and other forms of editorial oversight. Your sources up to this point, based on reviewer comments, don't meet that bar. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:13, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @Jéské Couriano I have been given an extensive list of articles about Yellowfin that were used successively but were still rejected. If I were to provide a full list of the sources that were given, would someone be able to tell me which sources WOULD pass the bar? HagopP-Editor (talk) 18:25, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@HagopP-Editor: I can go thru the history. Refer to my /Decode subpage (linked in my signature as "critiques"):
Got any other sources? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:36, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
BTW the only reason there is currently one source is because after trying to go through successive multiple sources, I just need one to get the page published. I used the best I could find. Maybe someone can help me identify 2-3 that would meet the requirements? HagopP-Editor (talk) 18:27, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would provide the full list of articles on the company. Just help me pick the right 2-3. HagopP-Editor (talk) 18:28, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Provide the list, minus what I already critiqued above. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:45, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a huge list and you appear to have not taken previous comments onboard. Notability is based on independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Just clicking on several they were all PR. KylieTastic (talk) 20:00, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
