Declined submission for 1989-90 Norwich City F.C. season

I am very disappointed by your decision, since I'd already spoken to the person who moved it to Draft and they'd told me that the reference list was adequate and all but admitted that it was deleted by mistake. As I said to them, what more do you want? All of the information contained in the article came from the verifiable sources quoted. I'm getting the information from books because it's very doubtful you're going to find detailed information on 30-year-old transfers online. As I said to them, I can quote page references if necessary. But it seems to me that what I did was on a par, and in many cases superior, to similar articles of that vintage and more recent. So, what was so bad about it that it's considered not deserving of a place on Wikipedia? Skteosk (talk) 09:06, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Skteosk, For an article to pass AfC, it needs proper sourcing and inline citations. Snowycats (talk) 17:15, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Yes, you've already said that. Can you give me specifics? Can you tell me what is accepted as a "proper source"? Skteosk (talk) 09:12, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Wikisheep20 - It looks like [1] is user generated content. Could you please clarify who the author is? Snowycats (talk) 22:39, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Multiple Rejection for Abdullah Al-Nafisi

Hi Snowycats,

I noticed you rejected Draft:Abdullah_Al-Nafisi page multiple time citing that it doesn't meet Wikipedia minimum standard for inline citations.

While I'm new to editing wikipedia, I don't think the sources and citations are not enough. Can you please advise on whats exactly missing so I can improve? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkmatters1 (talk • contribs) 02:36, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Darkmatters1, "Abdullah Al-Nafisi has worked as a professor of political science at Kuwait University and at Al Ain University in the United Arab Emirates." is unsourced. Snowycats (talk) 02:38, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Snowycats, It was actually referenced along with the next sentence, however I added more references, and linked the page with the Arabic Wiki article. Do you think this is enough to resubmit? DarkMatters (talk) 03:04, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

My page, Christmas Mountains Caldera Complex

Hello, Im Blakedes2 and i created my third page, however it was declined due to lack of sourcing. The reason i am contacted you, is the reason For the lack of sourcing is Alot of the information on the page is all from My own research and/or one single source. I was wondering if that could work. Blakedes2 (talk) 16:36, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Blakedes2, Wikipedia is not a place for original research if that is what you mean. Please read WP:MINREF. Snowycats (talk) 16:39, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Oh ok. How can i Get this approved? Blakedes2 (talk) 16:40, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Declined Draft: John Redmann

Afternoon Snowycats,

You recently rejected my draft article about the Hollywood producer John Redmann on the grounds of it sounding like an advertisement and that I didn't use footnotes properly. I'm afraid I've written this article to the best of my objective abilities. Is there a space on Wikipedia where I can request someone more skilled in Wikipedia editing take over from where I have left off, and improve upon my work to a point that would be satisfactory to Wikipedia?

Thank you for any advice you're willing to offer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlie918 (talk • contribs) 21:27, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Charlie918, There is not such a place, as it is still in draft space. Sadly, typically drafts only undergo major edits by their creator. Snowycats (talk) 03:35, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

User:Snowycats, User:Charlie918 - Occasionally one can ask a WikiProject to look at a draft. Have you considered asking someone at WikiProject Film to help you? Robert McClenon (talk) 05:22, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Matthew Axelson

Hi Snowycats, you recently declined my draft, it was actually waiting to be accepted by another reviewer, who after I explained the notability to, was going through the process of deletion review see here [2]. I know there's no way to revert a decline so it's okay, have a good day. Delta fiver (talk) (UTC) 03:11, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Delta fiver, Great, seems like it is pending review from an admin. Snowycats (talk) 03:34, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Matthew Axelson

You declined this draft, and I had previously declined it twice, citing the deletion discussion. However, User:Delta fiver has presented arguments that I consider good arguments, including the naming of a post office for him. Did you decline the draft, knowing those arguments? I am asking because I am willing to take it to Deletion Review for authorization to review the draft. Are you willing to discuss? Robert McClenon (talk) 04:43, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Robert McClenon, I was not aware, until they brought it up, as seen above your message on your talk page. :) I have no further comment because I see fit the reason I declined it for. Snowycats (talk) 05:08, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Accepting Kashif Shaikh

is it ready now? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kashif_Shaikh Saher AlSous (talk) 08:23, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Saher AlSous, It is pending review. Snowycats (talk) 18:40, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Snowycats, can't you review it and this is it? Saher AlSous (talk) 20:33, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Saher AlSous, This may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 3,374 pending submissions waiting for review.

Draft: Medical Women's Association of Nigeria (MWAN) may be deleted at any time unless copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.

Hiya snow, snowy (meow :)

Could you possibly specify (please) the text to which you're referring? I reckoned I should be able to use text in that article even though it may appear elsewhere, by virtue of being co-author Textor Alector (talk) 14:37, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Textor Alector, History and lead is copy/pasted from [3]. Please do not re-submit without removing that & adding in some original thoughts supported by citations. Snowycats (talk) 18:45, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Abdullah Al-Nafisi

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I have accepted this article in AfC because being an elected member of the National Assembly (Kuwait) and Professor Emeritus, he does pass the notability guidelines. Thank you. --KartikeyaS (talk) 18:32, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

KartikeyaS343, Good with me. Looks like inline citations have been improved! :) Snowycats (talk) 22:42, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of Motivational Maps page

Hello Snowycats,

Hope you're well during this difficult time. I am writing about the deletion of the Motivational Maps page. Whilst I can understand the reasoning why the page was deleted, I am a little frustrated that I was provided with no opportunity to explain the existence of the page (I was sent a message saying I could press a button and explain, but this button was not present & the page was simply gone), and now all of that work has gone to waste. It astounds me that so many organisations have pages on Wikipedia, from John Lewis to Google, yet this one has been denied? This seems a double standard. Furthermore, the existence of the page was not so much to promote the organisation but rather to introduce the new model of motivation, backed by research and evidence, which has been referenced in numerous sources outside of the organisation itself. I feel the model of motivation is definitely a notable enough leap forward in the understanding of motivation to merit wikipedia entry. It may have been that my enthusiasm did not convey that this was the primary purpose of the page, but either way, I was not offered a chance to explicate my efforts.

If you feel that this new model of motivation would be a better as an addition to Wikipedia's "motivation" page, then please do let me know. Otherwise, I would ask you to please consider reversing the decision to the delete the page if possible.

Thank you for your time.

All the best Joe Joseph Sale (talk) 15:56, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
