I would like a re-review on my Banks because I disagree that it wasn't notable enough. This is due to the fact that I, myself was looking for a page about Banks IV in the curiosity of re-creating the cellular automaton in Java. Unfortunately, I was unable to find such a page so after I finished looking through other websites and articles, and re-creating the automaton; I decided to use the information that I had found to create the Banks IV page myself. I also cited many sources, if anyone could tell me what I could do to improve the page; that would be great! |

- Alireza1357 (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi all,
I created a page for Bahram Ghassemi based on a page for the same person on the Persian wikipedia.
I added a source now but the original article in Persian doesn't have many sources either. From the listed sources, at the bottom of the Persian page, 2 or 3 don't work and it doesn't seem that all the information in the page is cited in the article.
My point is, if the English article is not good enough because of a lack of citations, the Persian one has by far less citations relative to the amount of information it offers.
I don't know the rules, but it seems to me we should keep it consistent between the different wikis.
Thank you for your help and time.
Alireza1357 (talk) 09:40, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Declined English Wikipedia is not Persian Wikipedia. We have (probably) much stricter policies on our content. There's no policy in meta or anywhere which states that all articles must be kept consistent throughout all wikis. I'm glad that you finally added a reference to it, but I think more information about the subject can be provided and adding one source isn't enough to satisfy WP:ANYBIO. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 09:49, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi, Abelmoschus Esculentus That's OK. I just wanted to add something to the wiki, thinking it would be of value since he has already a relatively comprehensive page on the Persian and Arabic wiki and is spokesperson for the Iranian foreign ministry since about two years and has had a variety of diplomatic posts for years. There aren't many English sources about him, other than news reports and his statements obviously. I don't know how to delete the page from Draft. Would really appreciate if you could do that for me or show me how to do it. Thanks Alireza1357 (talk) 16:59, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi, everyone! Is anyone else able to help me here, please? Abelmoschus Esculentus seems to be busy or I haven't mentioned him properly out of ignorance. Thanks! Alireza1357 (talk) 17:29, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

I recently wrote an article on Date Gone Wrong which is a new web mini-series that was released in December but it was rejected. I want to know what to improve in the content to make the article sufficiently notable enough?
Aditi.agrawal.07 (talk) 09:51, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- You need to add more secondary, reliable sources that are independent of the subject. One source is not sufficient to show notability. See WP:GNG ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 09:54, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

14:23:08, 14 January 2019 review of submission by Aflec1
The article has been turned down because: they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject - So, do I just need to include more references. The musician in question has numerous mentions in magazines such as DJ magazine and other Main Street publications and is played on the BBC, so I'm not sure why it was turned down. I am trying to create pages for a number of notable UK rap artists. So my question is do I need more references ? Thank you Aflec1 (talk) 14:23, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Yes. You definitely need to add more references in order to satisfy WP:NMUSICIAN. I would also like to see more charted songs/albums and stuff as they are clear indicators of notable musicians. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 14:25, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello wikipedia team, I'm on a personal mission to try to bring more visibility to emerging artists in Latin America as I notice that there is a huge gab in this particular area specifically on the english version of wikipedia. I've read about the recent progresses that a scientist was making on trying to lower the gender gap in science place by adding important scientist woman to wikipedia, and I thought it would be a good idea to do the same thing for artists that have already received a great deal of national recognition.
Being a journalist myself, I got to write some articles about some of those artist, and i was wondering if this is the reason why this post got rejected, as I signed two of his articles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Gustavo_Chams
I am not a pr person, so what would be a good way to re-write this article, making it more 'neutral'? I pretty much re-wrote what some of those magazines/newspapers did write about his work so I'm not sure on how would I be able to proceed moving forward. Some of the references are from smaller publications that helped me to fill the gap when I couldn't find the best references, But there are several well known and credible Brazilian newspapers, websites and magazines on the list, so I was quite surprised that they wouldn't work.
Is there any feedback I could take in consideration?
Thank you! Sincerely, Mirela

- @Joe-streatham: Yes, the title of the draft can be changed when (if) the draft is accepted and becomes an article. However, at the moment the references you've included do not provide sufficient in-depth coverage about the publication, and the website itself appears to be offline - it returns a '403 Forbidden' error.

My article appears to have been reviewed within seconds by Robert McClenon, but please tell me how I can contact him. He says I need a lead sentence (he types lede sentence, but this must be what he means) In fact the second sentence explains that Susan Vernon is a pioneer conference interpreter, but this could be moved to second sentence if desired. Then he says that I am too closely connected to the subject. However I quote many references to academic papers about her; her relevance to interpreting is easily verified, even by a current exhibition at the university of Salamanca.

However, to contact a particular editor, you may write a message to their Talk Page, which you usually can do by clicking on the talk link after their signature. I wrote lede sentence because that is the specialized spelling that we use in Wikipedia. I meant to state in the first sentence that she is or was an interpreter. My conflict of interest comment had to do with whether you are related to her. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:05, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Request on 22:01:37, 14 January 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Mutarjam
The article (which was literally a translation of the equivalent article on Arabic Wikipedia except I added a few sources) was declined because it didn't represent a proverb, and I didn't provide enough sources supporting my article. I would like to include the information SOMEWHERE on English Wikipedia since it explains a common coinage in Arabic (both the "faithful friend" and the "four impossible things"). I have several questions:
- Is the only significant difference between my draft and Say Uncle that my article describes a non-English expression? (which might be a perfectly good reason).
- Would the sourcing I currently have in the article be sufficient to add to List of idioms of improbability
- I had hoped to include a link to the Arabic article on the language menu on the side. Can I still do that if the title of the article is a list like List of idioms of improbability? Mutarjam (talk) 22:01, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Mutarjam (talk) 22:01, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Mutarjam.
- It usually isn't productive to compare drafts to articles unless the latter have gone through a formal process such as WP:GA or WP:FA. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. The difference between the state of the two pages has nothing to do with the draft being about a non-English expression.
- The Cultural Analysis source is a good one. The expression is not a perfect fit with List of idioms of improbability, but I think you could include it there.
- Links on the left are only for equivalent topics, in other words an Arabic version of the list, not this specific expression. You may, however, link to it in the text – الخل الوفي ("faithful friend") ...

Firstly, I'd like to request a review for the biography because the biography contains the full details of the prominent Dr.Hisham Safadi which should be granted a page on your website for references from clients. It's a biography that contains all his life achievements and awards and should deserve an approved page here.

Hello, I noticed my article got declined due to suspicion of COI. At first I didn't understand why, but after doing a more thorough research of wording, I realized my mistakes and is already working on a more clinical edit of the text.
I can guarantee you, that I have absolutely no personal relationship with Ms.Daiane Sodre and I'm definitely not getting paid to create an article about her.
Please let me know how to proceed with the editing and what I have to do.

@DaiPedia2018: hello. While Draft:Daiane_Sodre has not been tagged for having any COI issues, I do remember tagging Draft:Daiane_Sodre (2) with COI and UDP tags. I did this after noticing an image your used in the draft ([1]) was furnished to you my an established photographer; to me, this indicated a possible conflict of interest, as OTRS confirmed at the WMC that the release of the image was legitimate. I asked you about this on your talk page, but never recieved a response to my COI inquest. Some clarification on your part would be welcome, and will impact on how we move forward in this situation.--SamHolt6 @SamHolt6: I already sent the below to you in another place, but since this is all new to me, I'll post the same reply here. Hopefully we'll communicate one way or the other. I apologize for my mistakes, but have read as much as I could about how to communicate on the Talk page. Hopefully it works? First I want to apologize for not responding to your message above. Unfortunately I had a personal problem and have not been online for the past 3-4 weeks :-( Like I wrote in a reply to another person, I have absolutely no personal or professional affiliation with Ms.Daiane Sodre. When I decided to create a WP article about her, I browsed 100's of images to see if I could find a royalty free image to use. Since I didn't find any, I ended up writing to the photographer asking if I could use his image for the article. He responded that the image is from 2012, so since it's an older image he would have no problem with me using it for the article and he gave his authorization. If the image is violating any WP rules, I'll be happy to remove it. Just FYI, I'm also editing the text for it to be more neutral as well I have been researching more about Ms.Daiane Sodre and will add more information to the article as well as source references and links. Again, thank you for your patience and please let me know how to proceed from here. DaiPedia2018 (talk) 19:10, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm trying to get a photo (personal shot) of the biography I submitted, and it was flagged up front- and not allowed to be even reviewed.

I'm trying set up a page for John Hoye I have published book ISBN info below
'More information in This Day In Music's guild to Iron Maiden by Joe Shoomam ISBN 978-1-9995927-5-2 (page 164 - 167)'
I would think that is sufficient to verify the page for John Hoye, as well as links from an existing page for the band Urchin where John is also cited.

We will make changes due to it being declined. But there is one section where we talk about Yuri's parents with no reference. The reason there is no reference is because it was written from a personal source. Will this be a problem?
Thanks!
Riseupstrategies (talk) 20:42, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Riseupstrategies. Please clarify what you mean by "we". The policy on Wikipedia is "one user—one account". Usernames should not be shared by multiple individuals. If you are close enough to the subject to know things about his family that are not public, you have a conflict of interest, and really shouldn't be writing about him. If you write about him nonetheless, then you should declare the nature of your connection. In any case, Wikipedia articles may contain only information that is verifiable in reliable, published sources, not material from the personal experience of editors. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:04, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

I created this draft for which I've been updating and expect to update with additional information over the next couple weeks. I made it a draft to allow others to make contributions if possible. Someone created another page for which I just got an email saying it was being considered for deletion (not this article but the other one Courtney_Hadwin). So I guess I just want to make sure that first, this draft is in fact searchable by others to make contributions and therefore would avoid duplicate drafts for this subject. So my primary concern is someone trying to create another article from scratch for "Courtney Hadwin" rather than updating this draft! Please let me know if I should have taken different steps. Thank You very much!

- @Gracelandet: I recommend you await the outcome of the discussion on whether the existing article should be deleted. If the outcome is that it should be kept, you should abandon your draft and improve the existing article in mainspace instead. If the outcome is that it should be deleted, then it is because the Wikipedia editor community considers that she is not a suitable subject for a Wikipedia article and so submitting your draft is unlikely to see it accepted.

- Hi Penguinmeadow. The draft was declined because, with a single source that is independent and reliable, it fails to show that the subject meets WP:BIO. It was subsequently rejected because the second reviewer felt that no amount of editing could overcome the problem. I recommend that you set the topic aside for a while. Creating new articles is time consuming, frustrating, and overrated. There are millions of easier and better ways of improving the encyclopedia.

Hello there!
I'm writing because I have been struggling in the process of writing my draft for Gerovital Cosmetics.
Let me start off by saying: I am being paid to write this article on Wikipedia and have disclosed it repeatedly during discussions with moderators, as well as on my talk page.
Now, the issue I'm facing is repeated submission denials, the last one being motivated as, to paraphrase, "this article reads like a paid article and tries promoting what is, essentially, a quack product". Now, I have repeatedly rephrased the draft as to eliminate anything that could be interpreted as subjective towards the brand itself. In the last draft I submitted, there was nothing showing bias as far as I can tell, except, perhaps, a "prizes and awards" section. I would really appreciate any tips or indications I could get that can help me get this article to a publishable version.
Thank you in advance! RazPalea (talk)
RazPalea (talk) 12:23, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- @RazPalea: The deletion discussion makes the reasons for the deletion of the draft clear. There's already an article about Gerovital, which you can help improve. Articles have to be written about notable subjects (see WP:NCORP), provide reliable sources (see WP:V and be written from a neutral point of view, per WP:NPOV. Promotion is against Wikipedia's principles; if an article serves only to promote a subject then it doesn't belong here. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:46, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello all,
If possible, I'd like some further feedback on the notability of this article's subject. Having read Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), it looks to me as though the cited MailOnline, The IET, TechCrunch, Metro, and Business Insider articles meet the significant/independent/reliable/secondary criteria. Any further guidance on establishing notability would be greatly appreciated.
With thanks,
Robwward (talk) 16:53, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Robwward: - Hi there. Post you commenting here, your draft was reviewed and rejected. The reviewer declined it as overly advertorial. You can ask the reviewer SamHolt6 if that was his sole decline grounds or if he also felt it failed to satisfy corporate notability
- A brief look at the sources does give some issues. Firstly, MailOnline is not particularly trusted as a source - a recent community discussion voted to sustain the general refusal of it as a reliable source. A problem across the other sources is that most of it is the writer saying "FiveAI said this, FiveAI's staff member said this etc". This repackaged content is functionally disregarded for considering notability, so the source only counts if there is sufficient other content within the article. I'm not confident enough to make a specific decision on them without extra analysis.
- Worth fixing the known problem while hunting for any other sources that may appear in the interim. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:53, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Our original draft was rejected by reviewer StraussInTheHouse because it was deemed to be "contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia".

I have gone through and made these adjustments and am hoping that this is more in line with what the reviewer was looking for. Thanks!

In regards to my article about Giveaway Club, which was rejected. I would really appreciate some advice, so I don’t start working on articles that may get rejected in the future. What number of sources is considered sufficient to show that the subject is notable enough? I’ve looked at Giveaway Club’s competitors, such as BitsDuJour, and didn’t see that many external sources cited. In fact, with this example, most external links lead to BitsDuJour’s blog or their own press releases. Before starting this article, I looked at other similar web services that have articles about them on Wikipedia (such as here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Deal_of_the_day_services) and thought that Giveaway Club’s notability was similar to those, so it was worth writing about. I would appreciate some guidance on notability criteria and how this particular article could be improved to be included on Wikipedia. I’ve already read through Wikipedia’s guidelines on notability and thought that this subject meets those. It’s a web service (a software giveaway platform), so I go by the Wikipedia:Notability_(web) guidelines, which says that to be notable a website has to meet ONE of the two criteria:
- The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
- The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization.
My article about Giveaway Club cites six independent sources, at least 3 of which are reputable software review sites that place Giveaway Club among other notable websites (which have their own articles on Wikipedia). I believe six, or even three (if you only include those 3 better known sites), can count as multiple.
If you still find that Giveaway Club doesn’t deserve to have its own article on Wikipedia, can information about it still be included in some other article? The most relevant ones I see would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giveaway_of_the_Day (the site that is very similar to Giveaway Club) or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deal_of_the_day . Should I do that?
Thanks in advance for your help.
HannaWelch (talk) 03:05, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi HannaWelch. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of the topic.
- Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and poor quality articles. The existence of articles that do not meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines does not mean they are welcome. It may simply mean that no one has gotten around to deleting them yet. They are not a good excuse to create more such articles. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best.
- The draft is lacking in both the reliable source and significant coverage departments. Ghacks appears to be the only independent reliable source, and it does not contain signficant coverage.
- You may be underestimating how hard it is to meet WP:NWEB. In the past six months, excluding web series and news sites, only 5 articles on websites have been accepted via Articles for creation, and one of those is being considered for deletion. If you want to avoid starting drafts that are likely to be rejected, then avoid writing about extant companies, websites, and products.
- I would not include information about Giveaway Club in any other article. The only plausible place would be Auslogics, but it's already tagged for notability, which is often the first step on the road to deletion. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:06, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Why has my article been declined? Kingston is not part of Tradeston. Kingston is a district in its own right - it lies between the districts of Kinning Park to the west and Tradeston to the east.
Picallin (talk) 07:40, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Picallin. Per WP:GEOLAND, populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to merit a stand alone article. This usually applies to villages, parishes, and municipalities. Populated places without legal recognition, must show significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Larger neighborhoods are usually kept if their names are found to have verifiable widespread usage. Industrial estates, housing developments, unofficial neighborhoods, and smaller suburbs are generally merged to the primary city except when they have their own governments.
- The draft cites a single source, a map which shows the name Kingston. That is not significant coverage, and does not show the legal status of the area. It is insufficient information on which to decide whether Kingston should be a separate article or be covered within Glasgow. I recommend that you start by adding a sentence about Kingston to Glasgow (citing a reliable source). If you find several more sources that have more to say about Kingston, then add them to the draft and resubmit it. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

If there is a different Greg Williams, who is also an american footballer, then you use an additional clarifier in the brackets. Normally this is a year of birth or nationality, e.g. John Smith (Medal of Honor, born 1854). Does that answer the question? Nosebagbear (talk) 20:57, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Although I know following the standards outlined in the Notability section on Wikipedia doesn't guarantee submission, I'd like to request a re-review since the publications cited in this article do meet the notability criteria. Citations are from major news outlets and trade magazines - and talk in length about the company (they are not small spots).
If you still feel differently, I ask for advice on where to look for sources.
104.225.241.238 (talk) 21:26, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
- @104.225.241.238: - sources have to satisfy 4 main criteria: secondary, reliable, in-depth, independent. Business sources are often ruled out for a variant of the "in-depth" one, which is called WP:CORPDEPTH - which basically rules out coverage that companies have that isn't particularly meaningful for notability. Venture capitalism is a particularly common example.
- What is a real killer of your sources, which are generally reputable sources, are that either they aren't in-depth (e.g. LA Times) or they aren't independent, because their company gets some money if items are purchased through a link involved or Bespoke helped write the article (USA today, Business Insider, or Esquire). Nosebagbear (talk) 01:12, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- And toxic marketing language like "men's lifestyle space" and "curated boxes" (you already have "bespoke"; how did you miss "artisanal"?) don't help when trying to assert that this is not an advertisement. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:18, 18 January 2019 (UTC)23:17, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello,
We do not understand why our page is not notable enough to be published. The page exists as is in French. Thank you to communicate the changes to us.

The existence of an article about them in the French Wikipedia does not automatically mean that there should be an article about them in the English Wikipedia.

Verbier Festival in an international festival of classical music. The public English-speaker represents 37%. 35% of their media coverage comes from abroad. Learning Programme are taught in English and all the print & web supports are translated. Furthermore, most artists who come at the festival speak English. So it is necessary to have these information in English. The English Wikipedia page for the Verbier Festival exists in English. We don’t understand why this page about the founder is not legitimate to exist too. Thank you for your consideration and your answer.

- Article does meet WP:NCORP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)) - Has multiple sources, multiple reliable sources, is inherently notable due to its status as a unicorn, its role in the Armenia-US trade agreement, and its market share in both the US and Canada. Can you please advise me on why it is being rejected on these grounds, when as far as I can see it does meet the requirements.
Accessexpertise (talk) 17:36, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Accessexpertise. The draft does not meet WP:NCORP.
- TechCrunch fails WP:ORGIND. As Rhadow writes, "TechCrunch reprints every tech press release that comes across the transom". See RSN archive 221 and RSN archive 246, among many others.
- Bloomberg #1 is indiscriminate. It attempts to list every company, so it does not help demonstrate the notability of any.
- ACHRNEWS and Contractor are trade publications. As WP:ORGIND states, "there is a presumption against the use of coverage in trade magazines to establish notability as businesses frequently make use of these publications to increase their visibility."
- Asbarez is a trivial mention.
- Crunchbase does not help demonstrate notability. Past discussions have noted a plethora of problems, including user-generated content (not a reliable source), not independent, primary source, and indiscriminate. See RSN archive 218 and RSN archive 252
- L. A. Biz and The Hustle are regurgitations of this press release, so not independent.
- The only independent, reliable, secondary source that contains significant coverage of ServiceTitan is Bloomberg #2. A single such source is not sufficient to demonstrate notability. You assert that it "is inherently notable due to its status as a unicorn, its role in the Armenia-US trade agreement, and its market share in both the US and Canada", but those things do not satisfy any of the notability criteria. See WP:BFAQ#COMPANY for more information. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:01, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

For example, external links, links that take the reader away from Wikipedia, are not allowed in the text.

- The piece in The Victoria Advocate is a start, although some reviewers will discount it as an interview in Kelton's small hometown newspaper. All of the other sources are trivial mentions, which do more harm to the draft than good. Replace those five with two sources as deep as, at least as reliable as, and more arms length than The Victoria Advocate, and the draft might have a chance. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:04, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

I am a first time wikipedia contributor and am writing about the biography of a sport person. I submitted the content and the content was rejected as I do not have any citations. Unfortunately this is the first time someone is writing about it and I am at loss how to find the citations for the details that I have collected.
All of the data are collected based directly from the person along with all medals and photographs the person has.
Could you please help me to understand how to make it as a valid wikipedia artile?

Why was my article rejected?
Yungstatic14 (talk) 02:11, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Yungstatic14. It was rejected because the subject is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Twitter is not reliable if someone other than Yung Static is tweeting about him, and is not independent or secondary if Yung Static is tweeting about himself, so either way it does nothing to demonstrate notability. Also, autobiographies are strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:39, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

- Hi R38R32R10MTAOTT. A fundamental pillar of Wikipedia is verifiability. The encyclopedia's content summarizes previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, you must be able to cite a reliable source before you may add it. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:19, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- @R38R32R10MTAOTT: There are several problems with your draft. Firstly, the context of the subject isn't clear, so people not familiar with the subject won't be able to understand it. Secondly, it has grammatical errors and formatting problems such as the random use of capital letters and punctuation. Thirdly, it has no links to other articles so readers cannot easily establish what the terms you've used mean. The fourth and main problem is that there are no references, so people cannot verify that what the article says is accurate. It also means that reviewers cannot tell if what you've written about is a notable subject that should have a place in an encyclopedia. Please do not resubmit the draft unless you can fix all these issues. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:22, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I was unable to find such a page so after I finished looking through other websites and articles, and re-creating the automaton; I decided to use the information that I had found to create the Banks IV page myself.
