Request on 00:44:22, 22 March 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Bryce Holdaway



Bryce Holdaway (talk) 00:44, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking for help surrounding my rejection re article. "It is not a place to post your cv"??? Not sure how to share information.

Hi Bryce Holdaway Editors may create a user page to share limited autobiographical information for the purpose of collaboration with other editors. If that was what you were trying to do with User:Bryce Holdaway/sandbox, then you do not need to submit it for review. Simply write at User:Bryce Holdaway.
It is draft articles that need to be submitted for review before being published as encyclopedia articles. If that is what your sandbox submission was intended as, then please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). --Worldbruce (talk) 04:13, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

13:46:30, 22 March 2019 review of submission by Srinath kandala


Srinath kandala (talk) 13:46, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Srinath kandala. You haven't asked a question, but presumably you want to know why David.moreno72 rejected as non-notable User:Srinath kandala/sandbox about E. Subbiah, former Member of the Legislative Assembly of Tamil Nadu. Personally, I would have declined the draft rather than rejecting it as non-notable. An article on the topic already exists under a variant transliteration, E. Subaya.
If you have no conflict of interest, you are welcome to edit that article, but you may only add statements for which you can cite a reliable source, something you failed to do in your draft. See Help:Referencing for beginners. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:38, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 15:18:29, 22 March 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Fruitypebbles69


Hello, i need assistance on my article becoming "worthy of inclusion". At first i needed more references but once i added them i no longer got denied for references, Its now denied for not worth inclusion on wiki. I believe this is an error as my references/information meets guidelines. And there are other simular articles existing to the one im creating. thanks in advance

Fruitypebbles69 (talk) 15:18, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your refs are to user generated content like Youtube. Anyone can put anything on youtube - no one checks it's accuracy. The topic is not notable and has been correctly rejected. Legacypac (talk) 16:43, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:28:47, 22 March 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Niallpm


Oh dear! It’s very disappointing to see such a summary rejection and so quickly. I was given to believe that the review would take several weeks. Your comment I really doubt this would ever be accepted as an article is most perplexing.

From what I can gather, your objection is based upon this: This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of websites).

The word notability is interesting. If this article truly is not notable, how then can you account for all the approved scholarly articles on Wikipedia, that either reference the website mentioned in our article or that use content from it? Namely:

In most of the articles above, the content I refer to is images, downloaded from the website of the International Moldovan Philatelic Society, and then used in the articles. We (IMPS) have never once received a request from any of these authors. Nor have we been given any accreditation. We are only aware of this activity because all of the images on our site have embedded meta data which can be read on Wikipedia Commons and identifies the IMPS website (moldovastamps.org) as the source.

We have never made any objection to this, simply because we were happy to have information about Moldovan Philately propagated on Wikipedia. Additionally, it was always our belief and understanding that, when it came time to publish our own Wikipedia article, this would all be taken into account. Were we mistaken?

Clearly, based on the above list, the offending article about IMPS can hardly be considered as not noteworthy, by any measure. I am sure you will agree that it is not equitable for all these articles to be allowed to use content from our site, without accreditation, whist writing off an article about the source as not noteworthy.

Additionally, I am perplexed about the existence of so many Wikipedia articles published by other, similar organizations, with very similar content as ours. Some examples are…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raflet_Stamp_Club
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Miami_Stamp_Club
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philatelic_Society_of_Pittsburgh
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Stamp_Collectors_Club

There are many others. But I am wondering what special qualities these article have that our article lacks. In our article, we have tried to be totally impartial and to cite external sources for everything. We would consider the article we submitted for approval to be superior quality to the examples above, but apparently not. Can you clarify this for us.

It is also important to note the IMPS (and its website) have always been great supporters of Wikipedia. We provide fully accredited links to thousands of Wikipedia articles. You are most welcome to examine any page on our site to confirm this. Perhaps for example www.moldovastamps.org/catalogue_stamps_issue.asp?issueID=4004

Finally, based on the above, we ask you to reconsider your evaluation of the article. We absolutely admit that we are complete amateurs regarding the Wikipedia article writing process and the Wikipedia protocols and if we have made mistakes regarding the coding of the article, or if we have included some text or reference in error, we ask for your kind advice regarding corrections. In particular, regarding Wikipedia categories, we could use some guidance.

20:10:16, 22 March 2019 review of submission by Gato63


This is the hottest new cartridge of the decade, the most exciting new cartridge since the 6.5 Creedmoor! The .350 Legend stole the show at the 2019 Shot Show. Yes, it's not available for retail purchase until next month (April 2019), but it's available for pre-order at major retailers such as Midway USA, and there are already rifles and barrels available for it from CMMG (AR-15 uppers), Winchester Repeating Arms (bolt-action rifles), Match Grade Machine (MGM, for their TC encore barrels), etc. There's a video of MGM test-firing it here: https://matchgrademachine.com/350-legend-winchester/ and their overview of the cartridge is here: https://matchgrademachine.com/winchester-350-legend/. Despite the newness of the .350 Legend cartridge, there have already been feature articles about it in Guns & Ammo magazine and the current issue of American Rifleman magazine.

16:43:44, 23 March 2019 review of draft by PeterMa1234


Hello. How many citations are required? Thank you PeterMa1234 (talk) 16:43, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PeterMa1234. Anything you add must be verifiable in a reliable published source. The citing sources guideline says an inline citation is required for any material likely to be challenged. Articles for Creation reviewers are a skeptical bunch, apt to question almost everything, so it would be wise to use an inline citation for everything in the draft. (Exception: An author's list of works normally doesn't need inline citations because the works themselves document who wrote them.)
The draft was declined because it reads like something the marketing department would put out to praise the subject. It's important that you be transparent about your conflict of interest with regard to the topic.
Then take a hard look at passages like "he brought together the San Francisco design community for the creation of several pavilions at Slow Food Nation, the movement’s first American event, attended by fifty thousand people, including Prince Charles, Eric Schlosser, and Wendell Berry (winner of the National Humanities Medal)." Also weigh the importance of each entry in the "Awards, honors, recognition" section. Ones reported widely or in depth in independent sources are worth keeping, but ones trumpeted only by the awarding organization and the awardee probably don't belong in an encyclopedia article. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:33, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chrispaige2000. Draft:The Other Side magazine is in the pool to be reviewed. You can tell by the big yellow box on the draft. Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest with regard to the topic. That UserboxCOI template, however, should be placed on your user page, not on the draft.

20:03:01, 23 March 2019 review of submission by PinkAuthor

My article on Bill King - a candidate for Mayor of Houston was rejected as the reviewer said that although there were lots of references, "none of them are particularly high quality" I edited the article, removed references from Amazon.com (the books written by the candidate), Wikipedia (referencing a previous election for office), and reduced the references from his website to only one for bio purposes (birth town & schools attended). I added additional numerous, reliable, secondary sources that discuss him and updated the images. I don't know what else to do to get the article approved and active. Additionally, in the interest of informing the voting public living in Houston, TX, it would be helpful to have this factual information available all in one place, as the other 2 candidates in the race - one of whom has never served in elected office - both have articles on Wikipedia.

PinkAuthor (talk) 20:03, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done User:PinkAuthor this is a campaign ad written as an article. We are not in the business of informing voters about candidates for office. I've sought deletion as he fails WP:NPOL Point us to the other candidate's pages and we can consider if they meet WP:NPOL. If he wins, he might meet WP:NPOL after serving some time as Houston is a fairly major city. Legacypac (talk) 21:11, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This seems inconsistent. There is no campaign material in the content. No policy positions, no endorsements, no appeals to voters. The information provided is from additional numerous, reliable, secondary sources that discuss him and are encyclopedic. King is a former mayor of a Texas city and is a candidate to be the mayor of the 4th largest city in America. The two other candidates in the race already have wikipedia pages. Meanwhile, there are pages for Pete Buttigieg - the mayor of S. Bend, Indiana - a minor city of 100k people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Buttigieg, and for Laura Moser - a minor political activist who lost a primary race for congress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Moser PinkAuthor (talk) 22:38, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can't argue from the existence of one article, that another should be created. It could well be that we'll be deleting the other article too. Buttigieg is notable not as mayor of South Bend, but as a candidate for President who has attracted significant coverage around the world. I'll have to look at Moser: maybe the article about her should be deleted. (By the way, you still haven't told us who the other candidates are, so that we could look at the articles about them.) --Orange Mike | Talk 00:34, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've looked at the Moser article. She's mostly notable because of the way in which the DNCC sabotaged her congressional campaign in favor of a more conservative candidate, a battle which attracted attention nationally. Otherwise, she would fail our standards for notability both as a writer and as a political figure. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:38, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And if we do have an article on King, it will not be allowed to contain any promotional fluff like King gained unique insights into how various governmental entities operate, particularly regarding their finances" and "King’s reach extends from Houston’s local government scene to the Austin statehouse and the halls of Congress". --Orange Mike | Talk 00:42, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

03:02:23, 24 March 2019 review of draft by Robertreddick


Look, I might not know how to wikipedia but this man was an audio celebrity who was heard by hundreds of millions of people. He deserves a public biography as he will be searched posthumous. Possibly it is harder to author up the life of a behind the scenes voice artist and I did not properly document / link to supporting resources. I would appreciate any help I can get to assist getting a page for Mr. Corley. Thank you. Robertreddick (talk) 03:02, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robertreddick. The article in The News-Press is a start, although it is weak on independence, being entirely information supplied by Corley himself, with the interviewer providing little analysis. It is difficult to gauge the significance of the Benztown award because it is a relatively new award, and somewhat obscure. It would be more convincing if it were covered in mainstream press (think Billboard, The New York Times, and the like).
The draft's remaining sources are very poor - a tweet on behalf of a minor TV network, two YouTube videos, and IMDb, which, being user-generated, is not a reliable source. Rotten apples like these spoil the whole barrel; get rid of them. Replace them with significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. I couldn't find any likely candidates via Google, but a visit to a library that has access to databases of newspaper and magazine articles might be worth your while. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:19, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

05:48:38, 24 March 2019 review of submission by Jirachibi


I have multiple sources linked to, including the musician's official site, official channel, and blogs. I realize im supposed to link to other sources as well, but it is literally impossible. Voltaire is a mostly obscure musician, so there are very few articles on him and his music that I can link to in general, let alone for a small album :) I feel its informative enough, follows the correct formatting, and is entirely accurate and should be approved. A similar case happened with an article i made for his last album from 2017, Heart-Shaped Wound, which follows the guidelines but still got rejected. Jirachibi (talk) 05:48, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jirachibi. You may add a paragraph about the ablum to the musician article, Aurelio Voltaire, but if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Wikipedia aims to only have articles on topics that have gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time. This album, like Heart-Shaped Wound, does not meet the album notability guidelines. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:18, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I feel it should be relevant enough, as most bands have every album they do (At least main studio ones) as articles. What places would be good to check? I can't find a single news site, single discussion, single reddit post or thread, single anything other than reviews discussing the album, which is mostly opinionated and hard to put into an article. Even googling the album itself only gives you 2 pages on google with all but 3 links being places to buy said album, you can barely even find reviews on youtube. Also, if you notice, most of his other albums except this one and Heart-Shaped Wound do not have any sources outside of his own website, the same that i'm referencing, and those are still up and fine? Including Boo-Hoo, The Devil's Bris, Bi-Trektual, Hate Lives in a Small Town, and so on.

I have added some more sources from different sites, hopefully this is enough.

14:44:06, 24 March 2019 review of submission by TownesVP

My draft was turned down because "none of the bands Farley is involved with are notable at this time" and a lack of notable sources. I disagree based on the fact that he's been featured on The Tonight Show and played on NPR. Beyond that, he's legitimately the most prolific songwriter of all time, recording and releasing over twenty thousand songs over three hundred albums. The sources I referenced include Wired, Vice, and Medium. I also have an article on him posted on The Guardian, which is listed under reliable sources. I didn't use it in the original draft, but I've added it since. https://www.theguardian.com/media/media-blog/2014/jan/29/spotify-how-a-busy-songwriter-youve-never-heard-of-makes-it-work-for-him

Aside from this, he's been featured on Bloomberg, Fox News, several local news sites and made commercials for Android.

Sorry for any confusion, this is my first time using wiki and I spent a good amount of time learning about how to make an acceptable page before submitting. What can I do to properly fix these issues to prove notoriety? Thanks for your help.

TownesVP (talk) 14:44, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TownesVP: - the reviewer may be right that the individual doesn't pass standard musician notability, however there's an interesting case to be made that his prolific work or spotify work might qualify him under the general notability guideline for his newsworthiness.

22:21:16, 24 March 2019 review of draft by Acceptable67


Would like to know what other sources should be required for this draft to become a permanent page not to be bothered with. I've added a few sources but as the band doesn't have much material online, its hard to source. same goes for hard copy writing. All I can say is, I have been in contact with all members of this group and it is all factual. Appreciated! Acceptable67 (talk) 22:21, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Acceptable67. Factual is a good property for encyclopedia articles to have, but there shouldn't be a Wikipedia article on the topic at all unless it has garnered significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, as demonstrated by coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.
Expand and explore the "Editor resources" section of the decline notice, and visit a good research library to search the databases of articles to which they have access. If, as you believe, nothing to speak of has been written about the band, then no amount of editing will make the draft acceptable on Wikipedia. You could consider alternative outlets that have different inclusion criteria. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:American Capital

This article was rejected by reviewer User:Hell_in_a_Bucket (before the article was even completed). I have completely revamped the article according to the reviewer comments. But reviewer is now retired and this draft is just sitting abandoned. I am requesting someone to take a look and provide commentary or approve the article. Thanks.

If you look carefully from that first link is 11/27/18 the big green banner at the top said awaiting review which lasted until my edit declining it 12/17/18. I was labeled as semi-retired until just recently although I am not active a lot. If the article is ready resubmit it and wait out the process. It can be frustrating to wait but it will happen.

As written it is promotional with very little detail as to how it is important and having it sourced. The concept is good but maybe take a look at similar articles before resubmitting. An example of how to write an article like this would be Auraria 9th Street Historic District. State the fact not the mission and the minute details. Report what can be sourced.

The draft entry on Jenny Dixon - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jenny_Dixon - was last reviewed and declined on October 15, 2018. The reason given was "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." The sources that support the submission include: The New York Times (nytimes.com), the winner of numerous Pulitzer Prizes; Artnews (artnews.com), the website of an art magazine founded in 1901 and winner of numerous national, regional, and local awards; artnet news (https://news.artnet.com/), the first on-line only news and critical magazine about art; the New York Daily News (nydailynews.com), a well established New York City newspaper; Ford Foundation Annual Report (fordfoundation.org); WNYC.org, New York City's public radio station

Please advise on what sources would be considered reliable if not these or what could be submitted in terms of substantiation.

I inserted in my draft(Ethel Blanchard Collver) a photo which yesterday I uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. The File name in Wikimedia Commons is entitled "Self Portrait by Ethel Blanchard Collver". However, even though the file name and caption appeared in the right hand corner of my draft, there was no photo. The file name was in red and when I clicked on it, there was direction on how to upload a photo. I thought I had alreday done that? I do not understand why the photo was not inserted? What am I missing? Thank you for any assistance with this.

Hi Sudesh D Ingale. Editors may create a user page to share limited autobiographical information for the purpose of collaboration with other editors. If that was what you were trying to do with Draft:Sudesh Ingale, then you do not need to submit it for review. Simply write at User:Sudesh D Ingale.
It is draft articles that need to be submitted for review before being published as encyclopedia articles. If that is what your draft submission was intended as, then please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). --Worldbruce (talk) 19:54, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Special:WhatLinksHere/Pendu Sound Recordings is at 9 (excl. talk) and should be 17 based on my count, am I supposed to create the missing links as red links or wait for the publication? –84.46.52.233 (talk) 00:09, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you had an account (so that you didn't need to go through AfC), were confident of the notability of the topic, and intended to create the target article in the immediate future, there might be value in creating more red links to signal that. Going through AfC, the timeline is uncertain enough that it would be better to wait for publication. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:38, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

05:25:25, 26 March 2019 review of submission by Jirachibi


I am checking to make sure the article is okay now. I have cited other sources from different sites, added the length of the album, a little more history on it, filled the track listing, etc.

Jirachibi (talk) 05:25, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jirachibi: - the youtube sources (all as primary sources) don't add anything when it comes to notability or supporting contentious facts. This means they might be fine for tracklisting etc, but can't demonstrate he wrote it on his own.
Projekt, voltaire's own site and cdbaby also don't help notability - out of a combination of lacking reliability, independence and significant coverage. I can't speak for Halloween Love - it may or may not be a suitable source. However, on it's own it won't help demonstrate notability. Nosebagbear (talk) 09:39, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's not much else. This is a super obscure musician. If you google the album, all you will find is places to buy it and voltaire's own site. I found ONE review of the album, and not even an article talking about it. Also, all of his other albums on Wikipedia only have cdbaby and his own site as references, so why are those okay but this isn't? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jirachibi (talk • contribs) 18:19, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jirachibi: - a brief look says that some aren't okay. I look over large numbers of discography/album articles and either add sources or redirect. Single good source album pages are often left there because they only need 1 more good source, and the deletion process requires demonstrating there aren't sources. AfC, on the other hand, requires the appropriate level of sourcing to pass review - if only because the New Page Patrollers (who check articles once they come into existence) would probably hold it up/designate it for deletion, and we work very hard to avoid that. The checking process is more thorough in 2019 than 2006 when some of the others were created. Nosebagbear (talk) 08:45, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@2401:4900:2EEC:D71F:2C8C:C259:44BF:1B04: - so I reviewedit as it was when the reviewer declined it - and they were right to do so. The article was wildly advertorial.
You've resubmitted, so it will get another review in the fullness of time. I gave the new form a 2 minute check just on advertorial issues.
You have made some changes which have partially improved it (it's no longer like a brochure/product list, at least). I do feel it is still significantly advertorial - it's all about the progress made over time, benefits it's bought, how modern it is etc. This is particularly notable in the awards/certificates - that various ISO and food handling standards are met is nothing significant, so don't warrant the prominence given (and probably not mentioning at all).

Dear Sir or Madam,

I received the following comment on my latest submission: "The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Dr. Jean-Christophe Leroux. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you."

The article Dr. Jean-Christophe Leroux, however, does not exist. I created it and it was declined. How can I edit it and publish it?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello,

I've been trying to create an article for the podcasting company The Fantasy Footballer for over a year now, but the article keeps getting rejected without any context. I've repeatedly asked for a reference to another podcast company that would meet the criteria and none of the reviewers have been able to provide an example, nor point to a specific section of the article which disqualifies the article. Since the original creation, the company's notability has continued to grow and additional independent sources have been added as they become available.

What is missing and/or needed to bring this article up to the standard?

Thank you, Andrew

@2605:E000:214B:E700:B11E:E8CE:27FA:BFE4: - as the comment of the reviewer says (next to yellow !), we have requirements for an artistic professional to be included including directors. Currently he (you?) do not satisfy these requirements. Future films additionally don't count until they've had a couple of reviews.

@Ziawccinowshera: - hi there. Several things mean this could not become an article.
Most obviously, organisations require multiple high quality secondary sources (newspapers, books etc) that cover them in-depth. As such, a government website doesn't count for demonstrating what Wikipedia calls notability.
We also write a neutral encyclopedia - so talking about "we" is definitely incorrect.
The fact that it is the business you work at means that you are currently violating our rules on Paid Editing. On your personal user page, you need to state that you are an employee/contractor /volunteer for the organisation and editing it for them. Nosebagbear (talk) 08:51, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just submitted an article for review. This is an edit on an article I originally published as user: GEMToo In October of 2018. The article was moved to draft space with this note" Hi, I came across this article while reviewing new pages.The article had no citations and also looked like a personal essay. Please continue to work on the article in draft space and then submit it via Articles for creation". I was uncomfortable with some of the information available in the first edit of that article and did not want that available along with the user: GEMToo. This is why I have created a second account: GMontgomery2. The original draft of this article still exists in draft space and I request that it be updated with the current version I am submitting for review.

I would also like to include that I am acquainted with Don Binkowski. He was a colleague of my late father and a public official where I reside.

Request on 19:19:49, 27 March 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Jeffcoso


I am requesting assistance because I have submitted an article about the Jefferson County, AR sheriff. I have received a message stating that the article has been denied due to copyright. The information was obtained from the sheriff himself and I listed his campaign website in the reference as well as a local newspaper article that was submitted by the sheriff's office as well. What can I do in this situation?

Jeffcoso (talk) 19:19, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeffcoso: - citing a source isn't sufficient to avoid copyright issues. The issue is the duplication of text. Instead you need to paraphrase it for it to be permissible. Avoiding Plagiarism
While the Sheriff could probably alter the copyright of his website, that would mean anyone (including any political opponents) would also gain a license to use and amend it. In any case, it would be a complicated hoop to jump through and you'd still have to re-paraphrase the newspaper content. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:32, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first time I have attempted to submit an article. I am trying to create an English entry for Dr. Montag, who has a page in the German Wikipedia. Dr. Montag does work for Siemens, but is also considered an expert in the expansion of digitalization into the medical industry. He oversees the creation and implementation of medical technology which has literally changed the way medicine is being practiced. As an industry leader he is invited to speak at medical conferences and consults with the EU in regards to digitization of medical records and the interoperability of the records systems.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my draft. However, I would like to request a re-review because I believe that the subject is notable enough to be included into Wikipedia. I base this belief on several substantial news and mentions in several independent publications available online about the subject, some of which have been utilized to create the content. Both this quality of being covered by media publications frequently since the subject's foundation and its active status in the online marketplace in the country (India) makes me feel that an inclusion in Wikipedia is valid.

I should add that I have a conflict of interest on this draft, which I have declared on its Talk page.

Any more clarity on this would be greatly appreciated. I thank the community again for its time and consideration. Convo Agent One (talk) 07:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Comments made by editor K.e.coffman regarding the notability of AFDP Global have been taken on board. The notability guidelines require that 'each source needs to be significant, independent, reliable, and secondary. Then, there must be multiple of such qualifying sources.'

More of these sources covering the social enterprise's launch have therefore been added, including MSN, FOX Sports and Reuters, as have subsequent significant mentions of the organisation, including in The Guardian, CNN, Reuters again and Inside World Football.

Overall, sources now include these above plus the Washington Post, the BBC, Eurosport (owned by Discovery Communications)and Associated Press. Is this enough to establish the notability of the organisation? Chris7turner (talk) 12:18, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
