Hi Greenman!

Could you please help to understand how can I fix this - "All statements need to be sourced, starting with the date of birth" - Looks like my sources not correct? And how can I sources date of birth?

"Duplication should also be removed" - I got it, this is glitch, very strange!)

Thank you!|

Hi @Alona Mashevska:, I can't help you find a source for the date of birth, but then how did you get the date of birth in the first place? If you have a WP:COI, you must state it. Greenman (talk) 07:28, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

I got it. Sure, working on it!))

The wiki draft is Draft:Aditi Dugar Arjun Dugar 2204 (talk) 13:21, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

@Arjun Dugar 2204 your draft has been Rejected and therefore will not be considered further. You have not shown that Aditi Dugar meets the Wikipedia:Notability (people) threshhold, therefore they cannot have a Wikipedia article at this time. Qcne (talk) 15:36, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

I still see entire sections that are unsourced.Greenman (talk) 12:23, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

With all due respect, the sections that are unsourced (birthplace, family background, high school and college, are customarily unsourced in Wikipedia. See, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden etc. You may be applying non-standard standards.

My friend, you have declined to publish my page of living person. Your reason was that there were too few citations but I see many published pages that have much fewer citations than mine.

For example: Zandaakhüügiin Enkhbold, Norovyn Altankhuyag, Mendsaikhany Enkhsaikhan and Radnaasümbereliin Gonchigdorj. I also used citations from international organizations and currently operational organizations if you need to verify.

A thought about AFC

I came here via one of the drafts you declined (mainly to see what the creator had asked you here) and noticed that you have not responded to hardly any of them. While I do recognise that many of them are simply requests to re-review a draft (which I agree is best left to a new reviewer) you should at least reply to them as such; your banner is not sufficient excuse to essentially ignore everyone. Please consider responding, even if it is just to point them to WP:AFCHD or that you are not going to re-review the draft. Thanks. Primefac (talk) 17:19, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Buddhism in Spain

Hi, you accepted Draft:Buddhism in Spain for the mainspace. A bit strange, as none of the issues I raised on the talk page when I moved it to draft previously had been addressed (just like many other issues weren't considered, e.g. the number/percentage mismatch in the infobox). Please don't put such terrible articles in the mainspace. Fram (talk) 12:18, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

See WP:AFCPURPOSE. This in my opinion is a fairly clearcut case of an article that would survive WP:AFD. The issues you have raised can be tagged, fixed, removed as appropriate, but are not sufficient reason to decline the submission. Greenman (talk) 12:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Have you actually looked at the flowchart? An article which isn't reliably sourced should be declined. I have highlighted serious issues with sources not supporting the claims they accompany. Even without those, I wonder why one would deliberately put gibberish and incorrect claims in the mainspace in the first place. "Surviving AfD" just means "the topic is notable" (and not copyvio or attack page, which would require deletion in draft as well), AfC review requires a bit more than that. The very, very least one could expect a reviewer to do is check the issues which lead to draftification in the first place, but I doubt you actually looked at the talk page when reviewing. Fram (talk) 13:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Let's, as an example, look at the intro to the article: "Buddhism (Spanish: Budismo) is the one of the largest religions in Spain. The presence of Buddhism in Spain began in the late 1970s, brought from other parts of Europe, especially France. Despite its short history in the country, Buddhism was recognized as a deep-rooted religious confession in 2007, under official consideration. This recognition implies its comparison with most established religions for legal, political and administrative purposes." Ignoring that we get a grammatical error after just three words: this paragrapgh (of just the last sentence, who knows?) is sourced to [1], which verifies nothing at all in this paragraph.

Not an exception with this article, sadly: the first sentence of the history section is "The Spanish came into contact with Japanese Buddhists in the 16th century when some Jesuit missionaries settled in Japan and China." This is sourced to this, but surprise, that article doesn't mention China, Japan, Jesuits or missionaries, nor the 16th century.

Need I go on? Or will you accept that you perhaps botched this one, and remove your explanation from the top of the draft? I can add my explanation there as well if you prefer. Fram (talk) 13:51, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Draft Matthew Iduoriyekemwen

Hi @Greenman,

Thanks for taking the time out to review my draft on Matthew Iduoriyekemwen. You left the comment that "Numerous statements are unsourced". I believe your review is unfair as this is an article on a person who was a member of a state legislature in a third world nation at a time of low internet penetration meaning there is naturally a limited number of online sources which can be referenced on the individual at this time. I believe it would be unfair to exclude significant information on the grounds that statements are unsourced seeing as it would end up providing barely an information on the individual to the user. Also, there are numerous articles on Wikipedia with many statements unsourced. For context internet penetration in the year 2000 in Nigeria was 0.06% and in 2007 when he left office was 6.77% (Nigerian: internet penetration). This means generally information on notable people from Nigeria from that era is generally limited on the internet especially when they are part of subnational governments. I'd urge you to reconsider your review on this as it is quite difficult to gauge the notability of a sub national govt official from Nigeria active in early internet era.

However if you still disagree, could you please point me to the statements you believe absolutely require an online source to have them removed from the article. I do think this takes away the benefit of the article as should any information on the article be contested, future readers will be welcome to edit the page and counter accordingly Hayfiz (talk) 09:08, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Gondwana Collection Namibia

Dear @Greenman, this is the very first article I've written and since Gondwana is the largest privately-owned tourism company in Namibia (where I live), I thought it would be a good place to start and I based a lot of the format on the TUI Group page. Would you give me some advice on how to improve it further? I removed all sections that I could understand that I thought seemed a bit more like a sales pitch than an encyclopedia article (based on your feedback), but when it comes to Namibia as a whole, apart from local newspapers and a few external tourism sites and blogs, it's quite difficult to reference facts.

As a Namibian, I think it's important for us to be on the map for more than just the basics, so I had a few articles in mind, but now that the first one has been rejected, I would love some pointers on how to overcome objections like quoting the source (their website) when very little other online references exist.

As mentioned, for inspiration, I looked at the TUI group and their website is referenced quite regularly, which is why I assumed the latter would be okay when it came to basic facts and then news updates and articles would be perfect for any further expansion, but what if even the basic facts like what a company does is not referred to online as more than a casual mention?

I would honestly love to learn from an actual contributor, since I read all the important documentation, but Namibia is often left untouched in even these areas. If I had to write about Sun International, it's already so much easier because the world writes about them, but in my journey to put us on the map, I find that, except for tourists who write blogs on the country, we have very little to reference.

Any suggestions? Anit006 (talk) 14:45, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

talk page lurking... @Anit006: Wikipedia is not about helping organizations to be on the map. We are an encyclopedia and have certain standards. One of the foremost of those is that each article must pass the notability criteria. As a good rule of thumb, you can use the golden rule to check if the references you are using support the article or draft's assertion of notability. Drafts that do not meet the requirements for notability will not be accepted as new articles. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:37, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

@UtherSRG - I didn't say the organisation should be on the map, I said our country should be on the map and I wrote the article as part of a project for my school. The idea was to write an article that would assist in the travel and tourism industry and is Namibia-specific. I'm just trying to figure out where the balance is, because the info online is limited. Anit006 (talk) 06:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Walnuthillstreet (talk) 12:02, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Walnuthillstreet:, the existence of other poorly-sourced articles is not a reason for something to be published/avoid deletion. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If you wish to continue, the best advice is to address the concerns raised with your submission. The unsourced statements should be removed or sourced. Greenman (talk) 17:03, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

absolutely understood and that is understood but i am wondering what would be considered unsourced, could you provide an example? Because i believe that there are at least three well-sourced articles (which fit the criteria for inclusion) if i remove everything else does that work? or is it a matter of not having enough well-sourced articles? I very much appreciate your guidance and thanks Walnuthillstreet (talk) 17:14, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

An unsourced statement is a statement that cannot be verified because it is not followed by a source. For example, the entire education section, or "He is a frequent collaborator with director Ramon Menendez". Please also take note of WP:COI. Greenman (talk) 13:04, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

As to sourcing: Compare this article to what there is at FRWP, or DEWP. You will see that the sourcing situation is pretty similar. As we all know, sourcing is about reliable third-part references. Quick question thugh: What do you expect, given the story was published over 100 years ago? - Likely the best you'll find is a student of French literature published something in a literary magazine. If that student is doing a PhD, it will likely only cover a very small aspect. You cannot really compare a story that appeared in a newspaper/journal, and that's perhaps 30-50 lines long to a novella or book... Eptalon (talk) 08:03, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Eptalon: each language project has its own guidelines and the English guidelines may be stricter. If something was published 100 years ago, and it is notable, there should far more than just the one reference available. Greenman (talk) 09:14, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

That may be the case. I translated/wrote this based on FrWP and DeWp. I wont spend time in a library, trying to find sources. If FrWp doesn't have more soures they likely don't exist. Perhaps you'll find people interested in French language or literature, who'll extend it. I can leave a message on the FrWp page, but will otherwise be done with the subject.

Rejected draft, conflict of interest. I made the page myself and i understand why this could be a conflict of interest but it is also obvious that we are a band that has been around for 16 years with more than 5 releases under i belt. I would really like to resolve this issue as I believe we deserve a page. Thanks Glen

Help needed on Draft

Hi @Greenman, sorry to bother you, you seem like a busy person. Couple of months back you declined an article on Sanket Goel (Draft:Sanket Goel). I've worked on it and wanted to know if there is anything else I can do . Shashy 922 (talk) 10:29, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Ponzichter

Hi Greenman, I am not new to Wikipedia, I have plenty of experience in German Wikipedia. The article Ponzichter exists exactly in this version in the German Wikipedia. It has the same supporting documents there. It is known that the German Wikipedia is even stricter than the English one. Therefore, I do not understand your objection. Greeting, Loimo (talk) 08:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Loimo:, Draft:Ponzichter was also tagged in February and again in March with concerns, and the links to the English Wikipedia guidelines should be clear to follow from there. Adding some inline citations would be a big help in both getting the submission reviewed more easily, and in getting it approved. Note that one of the two external links is a 404, which doesn't help with notability. Greenman (talk) 07:45, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Greenman:, I overlooked before that the link no longer works. I have fixed that now. I also put the footnote. The main information is in the book cited and on the info board I recently attached to the article as an illustration. Please have a look at it now. Greetings--Loimo (talk) 09:55, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Vladimir Dragosh

Good evening. I saw a warning about not writing to you about declined pages, but here is a strange case. Someone deleted from some sources the necessary information about Vladimir Dragosh and his students for the month that the draft was waiting for approval. I found new sources, including printed ones, and brought them. Link to an article from the book by the authoritative Moldovan musicologist Elena Uzun about Vladimir Dragosh, which I have given, with a translation of this article into English: https://ext-6309854.livejournal.com/318.html . The rest of the links are available on the Internet. Please look at the page again. Nichita1975 (talk) 15:21, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Adressing COI

Hello @Greenman. Thank you for your comment on my draft (Draft:Subtitlers' Association). You asked to address COI. Could you please advise what would be the best way to do this? Would the first point at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI be okay for the purposes of the article? For the record: I'm a member of the association, but I don't get paid for writing or editing its article. Nyjja (talk) 17:29, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Nyjja:, yes, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI would be sufficient. I personally find #3 the clearest. Greenman (talk) 07:35, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the tip! Done: User:Nyjja. If anything else is needed, please let me know. Nyjja (talk) 08:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Draft: Deo Prasad

HI @Greenman

Thank you for taking the time to review the page which I had written.

The explanation you have provided for rejection 'purely promotional' is rather vague. Are you able to provide specific examples? I can see plenty of other comments to the same tune on this talk page, so I am just seeking some clarification so that I can correct the perceived mistakes.

Thank you for your help! 149.171.144.122 (talk) 23:22, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Greenman, I am responding to the notes that you provided on the 1895 Films. As a first-time submitter, I truly do appreciate your feedback and am approaching this with a learning mindset. I understand that the mission of Wikipedia is unbiased education, and I want to provide articles that meet that mission. Do you have specific examples you can share with me that illustrate how I have moved too much into a promotional voice? I completely understand that using links to the subject's owned and operated platforms is not good, and I can find other examples for those links. I was using the New Line Cinema and Stephen Spielberg pages as guidelines since this is about film production. I really appreciate your insights. Thank you.

DRAFT: Tommaso Piccini

Hi Greenman, just seen that you disapproved my article regarding Silvio Salmoiraghi. I am a gastronome and while i was looking for info on Wikipedia I noticed that many many italian chef (exept Marchesi i would say based on my search) don't have info on them, that's why I decided to use my knowledge in the sector to try open pages and talk about them and their philosophy in the kitchen. You said that article and i quote: "appears to read more like an advertisement", can you please tell me and also suggest which parts i need to focus on? Since is my first time actually doing the work from the beginning i decided to describe the idea behind the person, can you understand? My purpose was not to sound too enthusiastic, can you please point me where i need to adapt test so that i can ask again for your approval? TommasoPiccini (talk) 10:19, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @TommasoPiccini: phrases like "a testament to his culinary skills", or "his dedication and talent paid off" come across as promotional. The submission needs a thorough review for tone; take a look in particular at WP:Encyclopedic style and MOS:PUFFERY. Greenman (talk) 19:46, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Zvi Landsman

Hello there, I read what you wrote here but still I need to write you since decline is an action that creates a whole new process for resubmitting at times... you wrote as a reason for decline "for example the source provided for most of the info in the biographical section makes no mention of most of what is stated." and this is not correct. The first source states the tree house and the second that he completed his degree with honors. I placed many reliable sources and also placed info regarding them on the talk page. I am well aware the draft was decline before you but all edits asked were done and this is an award wining director and the fact he is from I srael, doesnt mean he isnt worthy for a wikipedia page in English as well. Please revisit this and correct it if you can and willing... Thanks, Newlywo (talk) 09:44, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I know this isn't preferable but I don't know what I'm doing and I don't know if the comment I added to the page you're reviewing (Jessie Ennis) got through.
