00:09:05, 4 November 2019 review of draft by Mritch999


I need help formatting my sources.

Mritch999 (talk) 00:09, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're talking about Draft:John Manley Barnett. There's several problems. The one you mentioned here is the sources. You've got them all pre-formatted, with reference numbers embedded in the text. That means if anybody adds or deletes a reference in the future, all the references need to get re-numbered. That's not workable. Please see WP:CITE for how we do references.
As for the images, you mentioned on my talk page that, According to the newspapers, there is no copyright on them. That's not plausible. You may not have found a copyright notice, but it's copyrighted. It's almost certain that every one of the images you've used is going to be deleted as a copyright violation. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

04:40:50, 4 November 2019 review of draft by GouravSWS


GouravSWS (talk) 04:40, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GouravSWS, This article needs better sources. The website of the subject is not suitable. You also need to prove that the organization is in fact notable. To do that, you will need coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. Also, the programs section should likely be removed. The admissions section and lead also are unsourced.

Your draft has not been submitted, but it will be rejected if you do, because it is just blatant advertising. Theroadislong (talk) 09:02, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

10:36:06, 4 November 2019 review of submission by Cdsfd

Hi! The article has been re-done and new sources have been added that should qualify the topic as being sufficiently notable. Cdsfd (talk) 10:36, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cdsfd, None of the sources discuss the subject with significant coverage. The topic seems unnotable. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 22:25, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]


11:21:55, 4 November 2019 review of submission by Isara22


Respected Wiki editors,

Thank you for all the insightful clarifications.

I have declared my connection to the company on my profile page, as I am a current full-time employee. I have modified the article by removing the list of services, to prevent the content from looking promotional. I have added a new reference to help the notability issue:

I hope all those can bring the page closer to being accepted.

Isara22 (talk) 11:21, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but no, the topic just isn't sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia yet. Theroadislong (talk) 11:37, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kevindkarlsen The page seemed to be about a nonexistent person, or a non-notable person. Wikipedia does not have articles about everyone, only those who have received substantial coverage in media. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 22:58, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have not indicated which of the musical notability criteria is satisfied. We don't use external links in the body of an article and content like "Their music is freely available on Bandcamp, and on music streaming services such as Spotify, Google Music and Apple Music." is totally inappropriate for an encyclopedia.

GLOBAL VIDYAJYOTI INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL, GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE review of draft by RR


Rrarya6 (talk) 14:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rrarya6: - as said by the reviewer, since it lacks any sources at all, it can't show notability. Have a look at referencing for beginners to see how to add references. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:54, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:18:04, 4 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by TonyGonzalezTGI


I don't understand why my article is being declined. It cites exclusively independent, reliable sources and reads very neutral.

Any specific feedback is appreciated.


TonyGonzalezTGI (talk) 18:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TonyGonzalezTGI, You seem to have a conflict of interest with this article. I have left a note on your talk page regarding how to deal with that. In essence, you need to declare any conflicts of interest. You don't need to say "Oh I am Antonio" or "I know him", merely that you have a conflict of interest.
Once you've done that, note that not all sources are up to snuff. IMDb is not a reliable source. Modern tire dealer, and tire review both seem like unreliable industry publications to me. The CEO corner bit is an interview, which is a primary source and not independent. Wikipedia cannot be used as a source. I'm on the fence about whether Tire Business is reliable. A films own website should not be used to talk about itself. And since this is a biography of a living person, every claim should generally be sourced. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 22:42, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Need help for this. This is my personal page and I want to know why it is rejected?

18:23:32, 4 November 2019 review of submission by Thesecretorder


tso 18:23, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

@Thesecretorder: Wikipedia is not a web host. We are not here to host folk's personal pages. Draft space and user space is still to used to imrpove the encyclopedia by creating articles about notable subjects that meet our policies. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 22:54, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

19:59:31, 4 November 2019 review of draft by CheatCodes4ever


But I did put references on it! I don’t get the coding of references, but what I’ve got is good enough! Please understand me, I put references from the ARIA Charts. It failed, it wasn’t on the charts. I have got it! Don’t decline this page again! It’s good enough!

CheatCodes4ever (talk) 19:59, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CheatCodes4ever, The reference does not show that the subject is notable, i.e. that it should be included on Wikipedia. The album did not top the charts, and there is no other reason provided why it would be notable. Also, you will need more than a single reference. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 22:52, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

20:05:48, 4 November 2019 review of submission by Cgandara2318


Can you tell me specifically what's wrong with the page??

Cgandara2318 (talk) 20:05, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As it says on your draft "Wikipedia is not intended as a how-to service". Theroadislong (talk) 22:27, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 00:33:37, 5 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Benjiebj


Hello! Sorry to bother, was just wondering if you could help me improve my writing skills for the DataLand page? Would really need help with creation of multiple pages.

Benjiebj (talk) 00:33, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Benjiebj, The issue here isn't so much with your writing skills, but with the subject itself. There are tens of millions of businesses. We have to have some way to determine which ones to cover, which is our notability guideline. Only businesses that have been covered in multiple, reliable, and independent secondary sources may be included. It seems that Dataland does not meet that requirement. In terms of your writing, you should take care to write from a neutral point of view. The current article reads like a promotion. It has too many peacocking words. Non-neutral phrases include "expertise is complemented and enhanced ", "Backed by the solid reputation", "strategically located and envisioned" and many others. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 03:48, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

00:42:19, 5 November 2019 review of draft by Nobo71


Just asking, I know that I need more sources. But I would like to know if that is the main reason why it isn't accepted at the moment. I understand that it is not ready. But is it on a positive way to be included? Could it be rated from 1-10 on how good it is at the moment as 1 being bad and 10 being great? Thanks, I would appreacite it.

Nobo71-Wikipedia.org 00:42, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

@Nobo71: - so it's not a quality of editing issue, so ranking 1-10 doesn't really make sense (layout and such is fine). It's the lack of suitable sourcing that's the issue. Almost all of your sources are tweets or from Sequester Access. You need several (3 is good) sources that are: in-depth, independent (no reason to be biased and generally no interviews), reliable (good editorial control) and secondary (newspapers, etc). Canyon News might be a decent source (it's not playing well with my laptop), but try finding a couple more reviews from other publications. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:32, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

06:38:16, 5 November 2019 review of submission by KBSKasyap


KBSKasyap (talk) 06:38, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

KBSKasyap, This seems to be an average person, like you or I. There is no assertion of their notability, i.e. the reason they should have an article. Only folks who have been covered in multiple, reliable, independent sources can have articles about them. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 07:56, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

08:18:42, 5 November 2019 review of submission by Jazinto99


Jazinto99 (talk) 08:18, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jazinto99, The article had no sources. To include folks on Wikipedia, we need multiple reliable and independent sources that discuss them with significant coverage. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 08:42, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Shuvo chandra pall: There are many engineering students and notability is what matters and that is based off coverage in reliable secondary sources - it is not notable. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:34, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how to proceed with this article, I think the concept has received considered academic and press attention under this title, as you can see at Draft_talk:Blue_space. I can find more if necessary. Do they need to be cited in the article to pass WP:NEO or is their existence sufficient?

Hello K.e.coffman. I would like to know the reason why this topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. What would qualify the individual for a page on Wikipedia? I am asking because I do believe Mr. David Amber deserves a page on Wikipedia because of his contributions to the K-Pop music industry. Thank you.

21:33:55, 5 November 2019 review of submission by Frakes928


I have listened to many user's suggestions and went through to remove externals links and move them to an external links section of the article. I have also cites references to substantiate the news with specific articles. Frakes928 (talk) 21:33, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Frakes928, There are only two sources. To be notable, a source usually needs, at a minimum, at least 3 sources that are reliable, independent, and discuss the subject with significant coverage. The subject of the draft does not seem to meet those requirements. If you can find three good sources, feel free to add them here and ping me using {{ping|CaptainEek}}. If not, the subject is likely not notable. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 02:07, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

03:49:18, 6 November 2019 review of draft by EMU FAM


I just would like to confirm that my article Draft:Branches school camp is not valid for submission due to it being too minor a topic worthy of its own Wikipedia article. And secondly, ask why I wasn't notified earlier when I had submitted the article on two other occasions that this article wasn't valid for publishing, I just ended up wasting a lot of time. - EMU FAM 6/11/2019 16:49 GMT+13 EMU FAM (talk) 03:49, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

EMU FAM, I think it is not worthy of a standalone article, as it is not notable. Any such information could just be merged into the school itself. An editor did warn you initially that the article might not be notable. But we generally don't just tell people to stop initially, we give them the benefit of the doubt. Oftentimes, articles that do not appear notable at the first review turn out to be notable after draftees find new sources. Alas, the opposite has happened to you. Even experienced editors have had that happen to them. Such are the travails of creating articles from scratch, and is a reason we often recommend new editors first edit existing articles to get a feel for things. But feel free to work on expanding the Wakatipu High School article, or any article that interest you! If you'd like further guidance before creating a future draft, you may wish to ask here first to see if the subject might be notable. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 04:08, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GouravSWS (talk) 04:28, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GouravSWS, Lot of issues here. For starters, the lead seems to be a copyright violation. The tone is also highly promotional. There aren't enough sources. And no proof of notability. It just seems to be an ad, not an entry in an encyclopedia. To fix that, you must make the tone neutral, and find better sources. Also do not copy and past material into an article from an outside source, as that breaks copyright law. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 03:47, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

06:41:54, 6 November 2019 review of submission by TheAlexCohen

I would like to know why this was rejected? Was it simply because there was not enough information on the life of Alexander Cohen because my whole purpose of publishing this page was for it to go public and edit as long as it is public. Please let me know what I can do to grant the Great Alexander Cohen a Wikipedia page

TheAlexCohen (talk) 06:41, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TheAlexCohen, Well one of the issues here is that you seem to be Cohen, or at least are closely connected. Note that we strongly discourage people from creating autobiographies. That would represent a conflict of interest, which requires certain disclosures (please click on the link and read what those disclosures are).
The main issue is that Cohen is just an average person like you or I. I don't have a page about myself, and neither do most folks. Only people who have received coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources (think articles in the New York Times) are considered "notable" and can have articles.

08:27:57, 6 November 2019 review of draft by Khanadilaltaf


I had submitted this article for publishing and it was marked for speedy deletion. I have removed the objections and have checked it with Citation Bot as well as DAB solver for any problems. It is the perception of the deleting editor that I am trying to promote the pages cited, but I declare unequivocally that I neither have any connection or financial interest with sources cited. It is a new topic that the public should be aware of and only manufacturers of the product have published anything citable on the subject. Thus, I am left with the choice of either publishing them as citation or no citations at all.

Khanadilaltaf (talk) 08:27, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Khanadilaltaf, If a subject has not been covered by reliable sources, it is not notable, i.e. it is not fit for coverage. While the subject may be interesting, if it has not meet the WP:GNG it does not require an article. While perhaps not promoting any one thing or product, the tone is definitely promotional. Ensure that the tone is neutral. Ultimately: find at least 3 reliable, independent sources. If such sources cannot be found, the subject is likely not notable.

This is a translated version from arabic wikipedia and article is based on a living person, who is a minister in united arab emirates

Qowa (talk) 11:43, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Qowa, You've stumbled upon the problem: he is a living person. Per WP:BLP, that means that the sourcing requirements are strict. The article has insufficient inline sources. It also does not have enough sources to show that he is notable per WP:BIO. The part about "has many identities" strikes me as odd too, perhaps a mistranslation? If not, that requires a very good source. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 03:37, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

14:10:36, 6 November 2019 review of submission by Alexander Andronkin

I have written the page content following your guidelines, and mirroring other pages which have been accepted by your platform. So I cannot see why you continue to reject my submission. Please can you give me specific pointers of what you would like me to add or remove, thank you. Or please give me the contact details of a managing editor to look into why I continue to be rejected when my content is the same or better than other Wiki pages, currently it seems unreasonably unfair. Alexander Andronkin (talk) 14:10, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander Andronkin, There are no managing editors, we are all volunteers committed to building an encyclopedia. You might wish to read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS to understand why comparing your content to other content is a logical fallacy. Just because an article exists does not mean it passes muster. Many bad articles were created before the Articles for Creation process became standard, and have evaded detection. If you find an article that seems unfair, let us know and we'll take a look at it, as it likely does not meet policy either.
The company you are writing about is likely not notable. Only companies that have been covered in multiple reliable and independent sources can have articles. The sources shown did not meet that standard. Additionally, articles do not promote their subjects, Wikipedia is not an ad platform. Furthermore, if you are employed by SSLS, have a financial stake in the company, or have been paid by them in any way to write that article, you MUST disclose that per WP:PAID.

Zippylips (talk) 14:10, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zippylips, The issue here seems to be notability. I am unsure if they meet WP:BIO. Usually, that means at least 3 sources that are reliable, independent, and discuss the subject with significant coverage. If you believe you have 3 sources, you may wish to add them here . If you do not have 3 sources that meet WP:BIO, please look for more. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 03:34, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Leporeanto, Howdy hello! Who would you like to write a biography about? Please note, autobiographies, and biographies of people you know personally, are strongly discouraged per WP:COI. Non-COI biographies must meet the requirements at WP:BIO, i.e. that they are notable. Only folks who have been the subject of multiple, reliable, independent sources usually qualify for an article.

Hi, I'm requesting some help to be able to resubmit this article about author Miquel Reina. I recently got the message that the article was declined because the references I used were not enough. Can you please Google the author? He is a well-known author in many countries so I'm not sure what could I do to fix the article. Thanks.

Josanva (talk) 23:46, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Josanva, You've stumbled upon to the answer to your query: Google. If you can google and find him, you should be able to find reliable sources. Generally, a biography (per WP:BIO) requires at least 3 reliable, independent sources, that discuss the subject with significant coverage. Think of news stories, being written about in books, magazines, newspapers, etc. The article as is does not seem to have 3 sources that meet the requirements of WP:BIO, or the specific criteria WP:NAUTHOR (which is usually stricter than the normal bio requirement).

Request on 09:45:12, 7 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Salahuddin Ahmed Azad


Why my page titled Keith Sutliff isn't published? I've provided enough references and information. But why is it still in draft?

Salahuddin Ahmed Azad (talk) 09:45, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Salahuddin Ahmed Azad. The draft has not been published for three reasons:
  1. IMDb, being user-generated, is not a reliable source. I see nothing to suggest that Mixcloud is a reliable and independent source. Indie Activity is a primary source interview without analysis by the interviewer. It is not independent. The Los Angeles Times is the only independent, reliable, secondary source. Novice editors are commonly advised to provide at least three such sources.
  2. The draft fails to objectively summarize significant viewpoints on the subject. It describes the reviews of Refuge as mixed, but the only review cited is negative.
  3. In a biography of a living person, you can expect that almost every statement about them is likely to be challenged, but the bulk of the draft has no inline citations.

Only those who have received significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources qualify for articles. As is, most of the article is unsourced, and only serves to promote the subject.

There is a notice on my submission re the artist Rudy Rotter, that states ... "This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Rudy Rotter, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one."

The most recently edited version (in which I have now included === header marks) is the submission I want to keep. I'm not sure what and where the other submission exists, but if you can help me deactivate it, it will be appreciated. I presume the other article version was also created by me ... but if not, I would then want to view it before deactivating. Otherwise, have the above referenced article is my request.

I'll likely have other future questions being a novice, but for now this assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I tried to submit a page (about Karrie Karahalios, Full Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), but it looks like my page is still just a draft and has not been submitted. I am not sure what I need to do to submit it. It's been sitting there a few weeks. Any advice you can give would be helpful. Thanks! - Tandy Warnow Tandy (talk) 03:10, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

03:18:36, 8 November 2019 review of submission by Tandy

I got a response to my earlier inquiry from Longhair (about the page I had written for Karrie Karahalios). I had declared the conflict of interest, based on both being in the same department. I thought that the declaration would allow Wikipedia to *evaluate* the suggested page on its merits. It seems, based on the response from Longhair, that perhaps Wikipedia will not even consider it, because of the conflict of interest? I am not sure how to interpret the response in some other way. If that is the answer, then I would respectfully request that Wikipedia write a page about Karrie Karahalios. By the way, she was just elected a Distinguished Member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), so she really *is* a distinguished researcher. In any event, some clear instruction would help. Tandy (talk) 03:18, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tandy. Editors are discouraged from creating articles about colleagues, but it is not forbidden. If you are going to do it despite being advised against it, then you are going about it in the right way - declaring your conflict of interest and putting the page through Articles for creation. To have Draft:Karrie Karahalios reviewed for publication, click the blue "Submit your draft for review!" button in the large grey box at the top of the draft. The review process is highly backlogged, so it may take 4-5 months. If it is declined, then consider asking at Requested articles that an uninvolved editor write a biography of her, identifying for them which criteria of WP:PROF she meets, and supplying sources that prove it. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:59, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to post this article about DJS (UK) Limited, from what I can see the sources were reliable and independent. Is there something that specifically needs referencing better? Omartaw (talk) 16:32, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Omartaw. The notability guidelines for companies explicitly exclude, as trivial coverage, inclusion in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists. Mentioning such things and non-notable business awards and accolades makes the draft come across as highly promotional and rather desperate. Other cited sources lack significant coverage. The Independent, for example, only mentions PiggyBank in passing as the commissioner of a study.
Most businesses are not notable. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:29, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TobyBK (talk) 07:53, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TobyBK. Wikipedia covers topics that have attracted significant attention from the world at large and over a period of time. It is unlikely that a museum which opened last month would be able to demonstrate such coverage. Creating a new article is one of the most difficult, frustrating, and time consuming tasks a new editor can attempt. You will find it easier if you spend a while editing existing articles to gain familiarity with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

2. She already has a Thai version of her page here: https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/ริกะ_อิชิเกะ

So why can't I create an English version?
