March 15, I have asked reviewer Jenyire2 on her talkpage for instructions on what should be improved. I did not receive an answer yet. Could you help me out please? Eric-Jan van Kakerken (talk) 09:13, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eric-Jan van Kakerken, You will not get an answer. This user has been blocked indefinitely.
Your references are lacking. They are interviews with the principals, or passing mentions. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 10:15, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why have you attributed all your sources to "Express Web Desk"? None of your sources are acceptable; they're either press releases (Digital Journal, Zee/Yahoo/LatestLy) or written/dictated by the subject (Fox 34, his own website, Medium). —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 19:00, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I need help to create a wiki page for my boss this wiki page is too complicated. is there someone that can help me do it?

Indiadiamond (talk) 15:48, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You asked this at the Teahouse, please only use one method of seeking assistance at a time. 331dot (talk) 15:52, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The short answer is no. There is a further response at the Teahouse where you asked the same question. Theroadislong (talk) 15:54, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Indiadiamond and welcome to the AfC help desk. Remember Wikipedia is not a place to write about yourself, your family, friends or company. If you are doing so, we may have conflict of interest. Wikipedia should be written from neutral point of view with information supported by reliable sources to verify the information. Unsourced information may be challenged and remove. If this is the first article you want to create, I'd suggest you to read WP:YFA, WP:REFB, WP:CITE and WP:NPOV. You should also see if the subject you are going to write about meets the notability policy. Anyway, happy editing! –Hulged ⟨talk⟩ 16:02, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

19:50:46, 24 March 2021 review of submission by Barbarajrea76


Hello. I am a first time Wikipedia poster and my submission was rejected for the following reason:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

I am not sure which part was in question as I tried to have neutral voice and sourced many independent published articles to verify. I would like to edit and re-submit but I am unclear which portion of my post was problematic per their policy. Thank you so much for the guidance.

Barbarajrea76 (talk) 19:50, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Barbarajrea76, No, it was declined. Rejection is final. Being declined is iterative.
I note your correct declaration on your user page of being paid to create this draft. Please deploy {{connected contributor (paid)}} on the draft's talk page.
The thing about being paid while you write stuff here is the incongruity of asking volunteers to help you to earn your pay. Doesn't seem that fair, does it? Fiddle Faddle 20:44, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

04:53:59, 25 March 2021 review of submission by Jjphoenix


I received the good news that my page, Hurricane Alice (journal), was accepted. However, when I search for it in Wikipedia, any search for "Hurricane Alice" is redirected to the page "Tropical Storm Alice." I don't know how to fix this so that those looking for Hurricane Alice the journal are able to find the page without actually having to type "Hurricane Alice (journal)". Do I create a disambiguation page? If so, what's the best way to do that? Thank you!! -- JJPHOENIX

It's because i encourage young and up-coming artist to make it as tk khunalo 69. secondly because not that you're a swazi or black does not mean you can't be described by google. 69.63.69.90 (talk) 08:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see any question but your draft has been rejected, it will not be considered any further. CommanderWaterford (talk) 09:10, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If your issue is with Google searches, you will need to contact Google for assistance, though I don't believe the race or nationality of the subject plays a role in search results. Race or nationality also plays no role in accepting Wikipedia drafts. 331dot (talk) 15:22, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

14:42:51, 25 March 2021 review of submission by Jsolomon7

I am confused on why the references sources to Peter Jean Marie editorial is not enough for Wikipedia.

Jsolomon7 (talk) 14:42, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jsolomon7 I've fixed your request to add the name of the relevant draft. The sources you provided(which also are not summarized in the draft) seem to be announcements of routine business activities or interviews, which do not establish that this person meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 15:18, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

15:19:54, 25 March 2021 review of draft by Johneagle24


I need guidance on why my submission was declined. You say This content would be better suited as a section of Catholic Charismatic Renewal, to prevent WP:POVFORK. However, I would maintain that it is not a fork caused by any disputed facts, but it is about a separate geographical area. In the same way that Catholic charismatic renewal in Latin America is a separate Wikipedia article. If a separate article is not acceptable, could it be a spin off sub article? Thank you.

17:36:37, 25 March 2021 review of draft by WallaceEMann


I am appealing the decision of rejecting my submission of Rachel Jackson (comedian). Some of the reasons given for rejection seem to be invalid given the fact that a lot of similar references are included in the page of fellow comedian Sara Pascoe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Pascoe. I also noticed something similar a few weeks ago with a British actress (I have forgotten who it was). There were very few citations and they were predominantly cast lists. How can one be rejected when others of similar, or even worse, referencing are included? WallaceEMann (talk) 17:36, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot use the existence and status of other Wikipedia pages as an argument for your own, especially when it comes to drafting (which didn't exist in any real state before 2011 and wasn't made a hard requirement until 2018). In addition, we are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every biographical claim the draft makes that could be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to a strong third-party source that corroborates it. Anything less is grounds for a summary decline. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 20:15, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I recently submitted an article about the school I go to. Unfortunately, it got rejected because it "read like an advertisement". It was suggested that I use neutral words. But I don't understand where I overly praised the school. Right now, I am trying to change the article. Still, I am quite confused on how the article reads like an advertisement. Please advice on how I can change my article to sound like it was made from a neutral point of view.

Hi "Jhony777". Pure charts (chartinfrance.net) are not one of the charts Wikipedia accepts as reliable and authoritative. For France, the choices are: SNEP, Hung Medien, and InfoDisc.

15:27:38, 28 March 2021 review of draft by MichaelPackBrewGuy


I am requesting help because I don't know why my submission was declined. These are the reasons that I am confused. I used 10 sources which is more than a lot of the rivalry pages, so even if not all of them are reliable some of them should be good. I also saw that an article like Eagles-Washington only used 1 source. I am definitely not an expert on reliable sources, but the source that that article has does not appear to be more reliable then mine. The person that declined my page said that my article had not reliable sources, but I did include one source on all the games of the rivalry, one source on incredible moments, and many sources about game-logs that I thought were good for the rivalry. I don't know what other kinds of sources I would need to get this article submitted. Please take what I said into consideration, and if there still is a problem can you write me back.

MichaelPackBrewGuy (talk) 15:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MichaelPackBrewGuy You have sources citing games, but not sources that discuss a rivalry itself.

Why is my page declined? Hanan Ali Kofiah (talk) 15:46, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hanan Ali Kofiah, your draft does not have enough reliable sources to support the important informations given in it. Since this is a biography, it is also very important that the article must be well sourced. Please do find some reliable sources giving subject in-depth coverage and resubmit it again. All the best and regards. Kichu🐘 Need any help? 23:48, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are my new sources good now? I think I have 5 of my 13 sources that aren't about particular games, so I'm hoping that's what you're looking for.

Request on 22:09:01, 28 March 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by HelperGirl0102


Hello, I submitted an article for review and it was flagged first for one of the referenced I used. The notification I received said the reference was blacklisted, which I didn't understand. It was the full link to a magazine article with valid info on the subject of my article. I eventually removed the reference and was able to submit the article for review. Then the article was rejected and it seems like it was due to a lack of references. Can you help me understand what a blacklisted reference even means? It wasn't a compressed link or anything so I'm not sure what to do about that. Can you help me figure that out?

HelperGirl0102 (talk) 22:09, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HelperGirl0102 We blacklist certain sites for a plethora of irregularities. The main thing is no blacklisted site provided a useful reference. I suggest you ignore sites such as this and concentrate on finding the best real references you can. Please note that Wikipedia may never be used as a reference. Please use Wikilinks instead. See WP:CIRCULAR. That faux reference must be replaced.

09:22:49, 29 March 2021 review of submission by Xister-reply

Hello! I've received a message that my submission for this page has been declined because it "appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia" and it has to be written in a neutral point of view. First of all thanks for taking the time to make this review and leave me a feedback. I'm a newbie so I don't understand exactly why it is perceived as advertisement, please can you help me to improve the page to be compliant with wikipedia policies? Can you give me some examples of paragraphs that seems advertising? Because I thought they were simply descriptive of the school and I would like to work on them so that they are more neutral. Thanks! Xister-reply (talk) 09:22, 29 March 2021 (UTC) Xister-reply (talk) 09:22, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Xister-reply The draft is an advertisement because it just tells about the school 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 school, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization.
If you are associated with the school, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on formal disclosures you may be required to make. 331dot (talk) 09:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

10:55:16, 29 March 2021 review of submission by DrTES


Hello, I appreciate reviewers taking their time and checking the article. Checking the Wiki guidelines for notability in music, it says that there should be multiple publications (that basically don't recite press release). The band here have had printed and online publications in English and other languages, interviews, news (aside of the official press release). Romania doesn't have national charts. However, band's album made to iTunes national chart. Has released at least 2 albums on major label. The band has released 2014 Album and 2021 re-release album with Universal Music. Has been placed on national radio - since 2014 band's music is on Rock.Fm in Romania.

German Wikipedia has approved Scarlet Aura submission as an article there. I understand, that all this is very subjective. But for example, how this band is included in EN.Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magica_(band)?

I would like to have another look at the article and perhaps, if you can, suggest improvements (in more details). Thank you!

We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every biographical claim the draft makes that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to a strong third-party source that corroborates it. None of the Cagematch sources help for notability, the YouTube videos should not be linked to or cited at all, Profightdb has the same issues as Cagematch, and Solie seems a random blog and has the same issues as Cagematch. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 18:07, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to add Wikiproject tags to a submission for review "Whatawhata Research Centre" and it says my draft page doesn't exist, but it won't let me create a draft page because it says the page already exists. I cannot find any such named page already created on Wikipedia.

@Micadodd: Hello, and Welcome to the AFC Help desk. I assume you want to ask for User:Micadodd/sandbox, because it is newer. The right thing to insert into the box on Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Add WikiProject tags would therefore be "User:Micadodd/sandbox". Unfortunally I have detected a bug in the scripting behind that input boxes that needs fixing. I will add two WikiProjects manually. Victor Schmidt (talk) 20:38, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Reviewer,

I was told in a Q&A forum that the article has not been re-submitted, so I am re-submitting it here :) I am requesting a re-review because of two reasons:

1. I have added reliable journalistic sources that were absent before; 2. The entire previously submitted text was very incomplete and partially inaccurate.

I look forward to hearing from you :)
