16:28:40, 7 January 2021 review of submission by Geroge Mason
I am requesting a review because my article is removed for no reason i have also given sources from the website like IMDb Geroge Mason (talk) 16:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- IMDb is never a reliable source. Theroadislong (talk) 16:32, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Geroge Mason: Tha same goes for the Quora.com source. The subject's own website (or at least I assume m-zaid.my-free.website is something like that) can only be used in limited ways. Also, I have noticed that all of the URLs in the draft actually end up at the Facebook redirection lounge, asking me "if I want to leave Facebook". Make sure you use the actual URLs, i.e. https://www.example.org instead of https://l.messenger.com/l.php?u=http%3a//www.example.org Victor Schmidt (talk) 17:14, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

23:32:16, 7 January 2021 review of draft by DoNothin69
- DoNothin69 (talk · contribs) (TB)
The article I created for submission was rejected as the references I included were deemed to not show significant coverage. I have reviewed the references and added an audio reference from a leading Irish sports news website, and a link to the 2021 podbible awards as well as the existing BBC news audio reference & Welsh news website WalesOnline's article. If these are not enough references to demonstrate significant coverage could you please advise the nature and number of references I need to include? I have looked at other, similar articles for guidance and as far as I can tell, for the most part, the references included in those articles are of a similar nature and amount but would appreciate further guidance to ensure I am providing the right references.

06:53:56, 8 January 2021 review of draft by Pratyush Chowdhary
- Pratyush Chowdhary (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi Team, please help with my draft to adhere to Wiki Standards. Could you highlight the areas where edits need to be maintained. I am not aware of the references which can and cannot be used as per standards.I have used the peer company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awfis as reference. Any little help would be great.
pC (talk) 06:53, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Pratyush Chowdhary Your draft just tells about the company and what it does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Independent reliable sources do not include press releases, announcements of routine business transactions, staff interviews, the company website, or other primary sources. Wikipedia is interested in what others say about the company, not what it says about itself, and not routine business.
- I see that you declared a COI, but if you work for or represent this company, you must review the paid editing policy and make the stricter paid editing declaration. 331dot (talk) 09:44, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi 331dot (talk), thank you for your remarks. In that case the reference which I have used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awfis does it passes the requirement ? Could you please provide 1 expample in case of Smartworks.
Also as mentioned earlier, I have recently started working with the company and when I saw the wiki page missing, I took upon myself to make it. I am not paid directly non instructed to do so, this is purely voluntary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pratyush Chowdhary (talk • contribs) 13:08, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

- Theniommusmamu (talk · contribs) (TB)
I need to have this as an official article. This has been my work for two months. I need to know why you keep declining this. I also want to improve it.
Theniommusmamu (talk) 09:04, 8 January 2021 (UTC) How can I improve it? What should I add to James A. Janisse?
- Theniommusmamu No one "needs" an article. What is your urgent need? You have been given the reasons for it being declined on the draft itself; do you have questions about that? 331dot (talk) 09:40, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Yes. I want to know , why this many declines? Why did you do it?Theniommusmamu (talk) 09:54, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Currently, none of the sources are reliable and independent. Lets see what we got:
- https://the-dead-meat.fandom.com/wiki/James_A._Janisse is a Wiki entry and unreliable due to WP:UGC.
- https://youtube/RLgCPXHDxQg is not a valid URL. Assuming you meant https://youtu.be/RLgCPXHDxQg, which is a Video on the subject's Youtube channel and therefore a primary source
- https://www.famous.birthdays.com/people/james-janisse.html is another nonexistent URL, I assume you meant https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/james-janisse.html, which is considered unreliable and blacklisted already (I assume thats why the extra dot is in the URL)
- https://biographyhub.com/james-a-janisse-wiki/. I don't know much about the reliability of this site, but it does set off my alarm bells
- https://www.famous birthdays.com/people/james-janisse.html, which is another variant of the afroamentioned famousbirthdays page. Victor Schmidt (talk) 11:01, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Theniommusmamu: I think you'd have a better chance getting an article for Dead Meat, and you could then include a (brief) section about him. I looked and couldn't find any reliable coverage of him, but did at least find this about Dead Meat [[1]]. It actually looks like something I'd be interested in watching. If you can find a few more decent media sources, give it a shot. TechnoTalk (talk) 22:13, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

- Sean Solie (talk · contribs) (TB)
Happy New Year! The article I submitted on Sean McCoshen was declined as result of improper sourcing, specifically the lack of credible sources. Can you please point out which of the sources I am using are not adequate? I recently was on a different Wikipedia page about someone that contained only one link in it, which was no longer functional. How can it be that the eight sources I provided are less credible than a non-existent source?
Any information and assistance in this arena would be greatly appreciated, as I'm at a loss here in terms of how to strengthen my article.
Thank you :)

13:56:29, 9 January 2021 review of submission by Anavya
There seems to be a huge misunderstanding here. The subject in question is not only an established and notable personality in the martech and ad tech space but is also an Youtube, Amazon and Spotify verified music Artist. The links to Hansaj's verified artist pages are as follows:
https://open.spotify.com/artist/6Yu6b18ho7Tv2OFl4z9EnQ?si=23TIW0rxQ06H5zPQ6mlGFA https://music.youtube.com/channel/UC-4jpVvEXnoItoL0cVXbhmA https://music.youtube.com/browse/MPREb_5WPp7RFralw https://music.amazon.in/artists/B08RSMW9MQ/ekalavya-hansaj
The link to his google knowledge panel is https://g.co/kgs/zydNmj.
I strongly believe above links prove beyond doubt that the subject deserves a wikipedia page and meets the standards required to be on wikipedia.
Requesting you to guide me with an example if you still believe I am not able to prove the informations sought.

- Brenda All (talk · contribs) (TB)
I am requesting a review because my page was rejected as not being notable enough. There are articles and listings about me that are years and continents apart. I saw the page that Indian human magnet Arun Raiker had. It was recently edited by user Melrous yet it had seven paragraphs lifted from the one article about him and a seven-line personal quotation also lifted straight out of the one article. In fact there was more lifted from that article. I presume that they were blinded by the Arun Raiker claim that he would send his human magnet video to the Indian version of the Guinness World Records. It was an article from 2016 so he had enough time. I pointed some facts out to out to User Possibly who put the article up for deletion. I at first put just a listing in the human magnet section but User Melrous deleted that. Brenda Allison has been in Polish Wikipedia human magnet listing for years. I believe that the rejection on English Wikipedia is racist. White suupremacists have clearly infiltrated here. User North America 1000 is suddenly unavailable to doscuss a previous deletion of a Brenda Allison listing in human magnetism and a page. See the Wikipedia article about racism on Wikipedia Brenda All 17:36, 9 January 2021 (UTC) Brenda All 17:36, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- I rejected your draft because it had zero reliable sources, blogs are not reliable. To accuse me of racism is totally abhorrent and a personal attack. The fact that you have an article about you on Polish Wikipedia is irrelevant each country's Wikipedia has different standards for inclusion. Theroadislong (talk) 17:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
18:33:04, 9 January 2021 review of submission by Caseykerbs
Hi,
I will be republishing the article once there are more news sources on it. We've recently done pieces and interviews with some major news sources and they'll be out in the next 2-3 weeks. At that point I'd like to be able to send the article over for Review again.
Can you please put the article back to "Rejected" mode so that I can fix it later in the month and resubmit? Thanks!
Caseykerbs (talk) 18:33, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
Not done You can continue to edit it, but will not be able to re-submit it until someone changes "rejected" to "declined." The time to ask for that is AFTER there has been significant coverage from reliable sources that is "independent" of the subject. This means "publicity interviews" and "publicity pieces" specifically do NOT count. It's one thing if a major news outlet seeks out an interview with someone, it's another thing altogether if that someone seeks out interviews. That said, if a person is doing a "publicity tour" that can generate truly-independent coverage by reliable-source media, but it's not guaranteed to do so. My recommendation: Wait a week after the "publicity tour"-related information has been made public, then look for unrelated/unsolicited coverage from reliable sources. If you can't find it, or only find small amounts of it, or if what you do find isn't "in-depth coverage" or it's just re-hashes of what was in the "publicity generated" press, then drop it. The draft will not be accepted because the person is not notable. If, on the other hand, there is "significant coverage from reliable sources that is independent of the subject," then update the draft and come back here and ask for the "rejection" to be turned into a "decline" so you can re-submit. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

When giving Citations, make sure you give enough information for reviewers and other people to actually find it. Really required are at least: URL, title and access date (for online sources), ISBN, title, page number(s) and author (for books), newspaper name, edition, page and title (for newspaper entries) etc. There exist specific templates to assist you in formatting:

Company went public [1] [2] 2601:6C2:4000:6B60:3146:8A30:64CD:9947 (talk) 03:07, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
References
- Your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. That a company is public is irrelevant as to whether or not it merits a Wikipedia article; please review the Wikipedia definition of a notable company. 331dot (talk) 11:30, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Going public in and of itself does nothing to change whether a company is notable or not. However, sometimes when a company goes notable, it generates "truly independent" press coverage from "reliable sources. If this "truly independent" coverage in "reliable sources" rises to the level of "significant coverage" then that coverage - not the fact that the company went public - means the company that was formerly not "notable" now is. The "gotcha" is that the coverage has to be "truly independent" of the company and those trying to raise its profile. Anything that is created by or on behalf of the company or those who seek to "promote" it in the public eye has zero bearing on the company's "notability" as defined by Wikipedia. The same goes for "warmed over press releases," interviews, and stories that are almost entirely based on those things even if it is published in a "reliable source." In this case, as with so many others when a person or company is "seeking publicity," the issue is not just whether the source is "reliable" but also whether the material being cited as a source really is "independent of the subject." davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:43, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm re requesting a revision in this page because sayuru akash is a pioneer brand (personality) in western province, Sri Lanka that is currently being trending around the community in SriLanka and even on media in here. Even you can find his knowledge panel in google (Sayuru Akash) and also links to his music creations in this article space. As a fan it is a great loss to not have his space on wikipedia as a recognized brand cause he is recognized in around the country. Please recheck and approve this article on wikipedia.

Hello Wooplk. Your draft has been rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. If you are trying to appeal this, you must be prepared with reasons for why Sayuru Akash either meets the general notability guideline or the specific notability guideline for musicians. For example, if he is trending in Sri Lanka, then there must be many reliable publications that talk about him in great depth. These are what you need to have had in your draft.

- OneTwoThreeHoneyBee (talk · contribs) (TB)
The current "Color mapping" wikipedia page refers to color mapping in photography - a very specialised function to map colors from one image to another. This page - currently "Color map" - is referring to the much more general sense of the term, which is mapping data to colours. This is not only many times more common, but also much more relevant to the general public as most data is displayed with color mapping (e.g., weather maps, hazard maps, etc.).
Due to the very different meanings, I cannot simply merge the content of the two pages. I now suggest changing the titles to (1) "Color mapping (photography)" and (2) "Color mapping (data)". Would that make sense or do you have another suggestion?

You can get enough information from the website, so I think the secondary sources is not necessary.
And it is defficult to get additional information from other website because there is few English website, which have not enough information.

- MurphCooper (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi there! Thanks for helping me get my first page published. I would love some clarification as to why this subject is not notable enough, please! The reference article submitted refers to the subject more than as just a 'mention' in my opinion. So was the page declined simply because one reference article does not suffice? If more, similar articles were submitted for reference would it help justify that the subject is notable? And would that mean that many smaller mentions across multiple articles, can equate to one single detailed article, when it comes to qualifying for notability?
How do I know if it was that the quality of the source wasn't sufficient?
When subjectivity is involved (as I believe it is for these things), it's very hard to know what was missing when no real feedback is given! I appreciate everyone has little time, am just pointing this out.
Thanks for any help. MurphCooper (talk) 15:35, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- MurphCooper You were given feedback by the reviewer on the draft itself. You have a draft that consists of two sentences and one source. A Wikipedia article must be sourced to multiple independent reliable sources with significant coverage, and the article must summarize what those sources say. Please read Your First Article for more information.

Barouy13 (talk) 16:25, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Barouy13 It appears that the company does not meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources that have chosen on their own to write about the company. The sources you offered are only announcements of routine business transactions, which are not significant coverage and do not establish notability. There is nothing that you can do to confer notability on the company through editing; it depends on the sources. If appropriate sources do not exist, the company would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. Not every company does, even within the same field.

- Hello Eokeefe1987. If that is the case, then feel free to submit again. On a quick glance of your article, however, I suspect it will be declined again because (1) notability isn't well established and (2) the sources aren't reliable. There are higher standards of referencing applied to biographies of living persons. As regards (1), a general rule I apply to my own writing is to express in the first line what makes the subject notable. For example, "David J. Adams is an Australian scientist and academic who is Distinguished Professor of Medicine (if this is what he is) at the University of Woollongong." And then add a few citations. For your reference, the notability threshold will be crossed if you meet the requirements of either WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC. All the best. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 10:42, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

I have submitted the draft for review only one time and my ability to resubmit was revoked. I laid out an explanation on its talk page as to why I think the subject is notable and gave my rationale there, waited a couple of days for someone to jump in the discussion and discuss it there but no one showed up. There you will find a detailed review of the references I included in the article. If someone can join the discussion and give constructive feedback, that would be great. Thank you. Domnipal (talk) 01:03, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Domnipal: The article was rejected for a combination of two reasons: (1) because it did not address the reasons for the first decline, and (2) because you addressed your reviewer condescendingly and disrespectfully. I will say that I agree with the assessments of your behaviour by the three experienced editors you have so far interacted with: GSS, Robert McClenon and Rosguill. Your attitude and language towards GSS was an unjustifiable overreaction. On the matter of your draft, it has been rejected by Robert McClenon. This is different from a decline. It means that it will not be considered further. This can be changed by a decision of the reviewers or of the community. I won't speak for other editors, but I do not support a review of the rejection. You have neither tendered an apology nor shown any understanding of what went wrong. You have not even shown an inclination to try and understand what went wrong. By all indications, you are only at this help desk because as a paid editor, your deliverable is a published article. I support Robert McClenon's suggestion that if this draft is to be resubmitted, it should be blown up and started over, ideally by another editor. Other editors are welcome to add their views and opine otherwise.

Please help me update/edit the sources for the page on Prof. Nizan Geslevich Packin. The professor also writes and publishes regularly financial commentary on Forbes magazine, and her Wikipedia page already includes her profile page there, as well as popular media coverage and some scholarly reviews of her many articles and book chapters and research, in addition to a Youtube video with a spotlight interview and newspaper article about them and profiles by a respected academic organization they are involved with.
Nan-Chook (talk) 08:24, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Nan-Chook: your issue is not improper sourcing, but notability. You need to show that WP:GNG is met. Interviews and articles written by the subject are not independent, and so do not count for the purposes of notability. One example of a good source is an article that profiles the subject. Alternatively, since she is an academic, you could show that she meets WP:NACADEMIC. I should also mention that this help desk is not meant for requests to edit your draft for you. Finally, my own opinion is that the subject does not qualify for a Wikipedia article: there is not enough coverage of her, and she is too junior an academic. I would suggest that you think very carefully about whether you can demonstrate notability before submitting the draft again. WP:THREE is a good guideline on the subject: identify three of your best sources and see whether they cross the threshold. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 09:05, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

- Balasaheb Salunke Wikipedia has no interest in helping prospective students see your school marketing materials. This is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent reliable sources state, not what article subjects want to say about themselves. Please see your user talk page for important information I will place there in a moment. 331dot (talk) 11:38, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Good day,
Please in response to my article being rejected, I wish to submit it again for a review. I am writing this article on behalf of a mentor who has taught me and some others a lot, only felt it will be a little way to honor his generous gestures and also let the world know of his existence through this wonderful platform.
Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon. McFrase (talk) 12:21, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

the draft was rejected saying submission was not supported by reliable sources. I have included a news items from The Hindu which is reputed news paper in India. I have also included wikipedia links to all the projects that confirm the users work. Please refer IMDB page as well. I am not sure what details are required.

A new article on a small business was declined citing only passing information and showing no or not enough independent, secondary sources. There are very few secondary sources available for a small start up and I'm already seeing small business with huge chunks of text with no sourcing or citing their own website that have been accepted. e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip%27s_Drive-in
What do I need to do to get my article accepted in this case? Treuberg1 (talk) 15:21, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Small businesses rarely qualify for an article in Wikipedia, particularly start-ups. There is nothing you can do as far as Wikipedia is concerned at this time. At some later time, when and if the company meets Wikipedia's requirements outlined in WP:Notability and WP:NCORP, then by definition there will have been significant coverage of the company from reliable sources where both the sources and the coverage itself is independent of the company or those seeking to "promote" it. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:46, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
Request on 15:36:50, 12 January 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Jontickner
Hello. I'm trying to complete an entry for the illustrator and author Ron Tiner, but it keeps being rejected because its sources don't provide significant enough cover. I wonder if I could request help with the sources. The subject is a very prolific comic book illustrator, who's also had his own books published (by mainstream publishers and globally available) and is mentioned in many places across the web... but often only really in listings (except for a detailed interview i've found in print). And this is my probblem.
However, his body of work is significant, as is/was his influence on others. And for this reason I believe he should be on wikipedia along with his contemporaries (who alll seem to be). My problem is that, as with many in his field, much of the work was published then destroyed, and so records are hard to come by. The listings in which he appears are important and official ones - ISBN filings, catalogues of work and so on. And for this reason I feel that an entry which mainly only lists his factual body of work could possibly be allowed.
What I'm hoping for help on is which of the sources I have provide suitable coverage, and which don't. Then i can amend the entry, slimming it down to only include the suitably verified information. Looking at entries for similar illustrators, such as Mark Buckingham (herehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Buckingham_(comic_book_artist)) I can see I have more sources, and I wonder if I would be better off deleting almost all of the sources I've used, so that I only include one or two longer mentions. But this seems counter to a thorough, verified approach.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Hello, I need help understanding why FORBES is not a reliable source. And what parts of my draft article are under scrutiny - so I can delete as appropriate to get a minimum version of my draft approved. Thank you!
Ajtppm (talk) 15:38, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- The source in this page is from a former "Forbes.com contributor" and as such is not considered a "reliable source" in the same way that articles created by staff members and are subject to "editorial oversight" are. See the entries "Forbes" and "Forbes.com contributors" at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. The "list" column links to previous discussions which might answer your question in more detail. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:53, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

- MurphCooper (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi there. I'm confused why this doesn't count as significant coverage. I have seen many pages on wikipedia with fewer references. One of the references I've provided (the Guardian newspaper, which must surely be reputable enough) mentions the subject name 5 times, and another (the Independent newspaper, also reputable) mentions it 6 times. These can't be trivial mentions can they? They are forming a large part of the content if they are referred to that frequently within the sources.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: shortly after writing the above, I received a notification saying the page "has been reviewed". Does this mean I should resubmit it without any changes?! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MurphCooper (talk • contribs) 11:27, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

- I have just commented on your talk page...I fear you are wasting your time continuing to edit this draft, once a submission has been rejected as contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, it will not be considered further. The draft still reads nothing like an encyclopaedia article, I suggest you get some practice editing in other areas to get a better feel for what is acceptable.

Pls let me know how I should proceed to get this published.
- Uri Rosenbach You need to click the "Submit your draft for review!" button on the draft to formally submit it for review. It is possible that it will take several months, as drafts are reviewed in no particular order, so you will need to be patient. 331dot (talk) 20:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Draft: Tomos Roberts
Hello - I apologize, in advance, if this isn't the correct venue for asking the following question... Is there a way to determine approximately when a submitted draft may be reviewed? I was told that it could take 3+ months, however it may happen far sooner in some cases? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

- @Ryancoke2020: The review can happen well before that, however, nobody can tell for sure when, since reviewers are doing these in their (sometimes rare) free time. Victor Schmidt (talk) 07:10, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
