Inclusion of 2 new independent reliable sources that comment on the article subject directly.
Textor Alector (talk) 00:19, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Textor Alector::
- 2 new?
Yes
- independent?
Maybe
- reliable?
No
- Random blogs do not meet WP:UGC. And I can't even tell what devex.com does, but it is not a reliable mainstream news source or similar that has a clear editorial oversight. I don't know what one has to do to have a profile posted there, but their "advertise with us" button makes me think it's not that hard to do. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:59, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

- No draft specified!
Hello, My page for Lindon (Rapper) was declined by you. I am just wondering what citations are not valid? What exactly do I have to change or remove for this page to be accepted? Thank you Lindonlulgjuraj (talk) 07:45, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
Lindonlulgjuraj (talk) 07:45, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- Lindonlulgjuraj Please review the autobiography poklicy as to why writing an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. To succeed, in essence you need to forget everything you know about yourself and only write based on the content of independent reliable sources with significant coverage of you. Those sources must show how you meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable musician. The sources you have offered are not significant coverage of you. Such coverage does not include brief mentions, interviews with you, or other primary sources. See Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 07:50, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

My first draft was rejected due to lack of references in The Times or The Telegraph. I have added three references to brief articles in these two newspapers. I have also added references to 10 other newspaper articles about Taunton Elliott Viney DSO. I would like advice on whether these added references will be sufficient.

Request on 17:46:59, 27 December 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Barejsha02
- Barejsha02 (talk · contribs) (TB)
Dear editors,
I have corrected almost all the comments I could.
But
This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject
This remark is incomprehensible to me. How can I correct the article to bring it into an encyclopedic format? When writing, I was guided by articles about other Russian scientists in Wikipedia, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhores_Alferov
As to independent, reliable, published sources, they are given in article section "Publications about L. A. Sosnovskiy"
If possible, give the citation numbers from Google Scholar or equivalent
If possible, please give me a link to an article by some scientist on Wikipedia, so that I can see with an example how to do it correctly.
Sincerely

19:34:43, 27 December 2020 review of submission by 50ironclad50
I've elaborated more information on the company as well as adding some references to news articles other than in the Japanese language. It seems it has been occasionally covered by news outlets for past two to three years especially by those specialised in the display industry when it let out press releases or updates on the production schedule, for its unique manufacturing technology and the prospect of an OLED monitor. It certainly receives enduring attention and has notability at least in the OLED market. 50ironclad50 (talk) 19:34, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- 50ironclad50 The draft has been rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Product announcements and other routine business announcements do not establish notability. Please review WP:ORG, the notability criteria for businesses. 331dot (talk) 19:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- 331dot Thank you for the quick reply :) Actually this is not a draft I initiated so if I had known a rejected one has no chance for being re-considered I would've not contributed it sporadically spending my time. That's my bad. As for the issue regarding notablity, I don't believe the scope of the coverage of this company has been limited to routine press releases or brief mentions. The establishment of this company was covered with a detailed analysis in a Reuters piece and multiple news sources have been following this company for the reasons I mentioned. So the criteria for notablity seem nebulous to me in this case. Is there a guideline for submitting another draft on a subject that has been rejected? I'm not pledging on starting a new one but I might sometime if that was possible. 50ironclad50 (talk) 20:58, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- 50ironclad50 I believe that in general it is okay to wait six months or more before submitting a draft on a previously rejected subject. If you have appropriate sources now, you should bring that up with the reviewer that rejected the draft. 331dot (talk) 21:04, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- 50ironclad50 I have added the submit template for you, feel free to submit and I'll leave it for another reviewer to take a look. Theroadislong (talk) 21:22, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

20:21:50, 27 December 2020 review of draft by Bztwiki
Hi,
I'm asking help because I don't understand what modifications are asked for the page "Scalable Screen Font". I also can't see any add comment nor reply comment links, and I find it difficult to keep in touch with the moderators. One of them added some comments on the talk page, but sadly without direct links I could use. He suggested to use this interface, that's why I'm asking here. Sorry I make trouble for you. Bztwiki (talk) 20:21, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- Bztwiki You've been told repeatedly that Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified and notability established. Theroadislong (talk) 20:36, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- Talk pages are edited just like any other page. There is no "add comment", just "edit". 331dot (talk) 20:52, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

- TechNerd22 (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to add references to infoboxes? There is some info in the infobox that is not mentioned in the rest of the article, so I want to add references to the infobox. I've tried <ref>, but it doesn't work. TechNerd22 (talk) 01:11, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- The <ref> tag can be used in infoboxes. However, I do feel the need to point out WP:NSCHOOL, which suggests that the subject of this article may not be notable enough to warrant an article. The references provided are routine coverage about construction, which likely does not support notability. --Kinu t/c 01:36, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

- No draft specified!
Hello my article is declined because the submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject . I need some help with this article, because its my first one and also because i can not see whats wrong with it.
Iamjhaalok (talk) 06:11, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Iamjhaalok What was wrong with it was that you did not show with significant coverage in independent reliable sources that the company meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. You had offered no sources other than the company website. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company says about itself, but in what third parties say about it without any involvement from the subject. Please see Your First Article; you may also wish to use the new user tutorial if possible. Successfully writing a new article is the absolute hardest task to perform on Wikipedia; you might wish to gain experience by first spending time editing existing articles in areas that interest you, to get a feel for the process and what is expected of article content. 331dot (talk) 08:22, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Did some tweaks to the draft, hopefully, it sounds less marketing/advertorial and more factual. Culturesorbet (talk) 09:41, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Culturesorbet Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about something like a company A Wikipedia article about a company must only summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. The reviewer rejected the draft because the chances of that occurring here seem to be low.
- If you are associated with this company, you must review conflict of interest and paid editing. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

ISKCON Nepal is a real Hindu temple in Nepal which is located in Kathamandu. It's saying the subject is not notable but it's wrong. ISKCON Nepal is very famous across Nepal.Sitaramradheshyam (talk) 10:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
Sitaramradheshyam (talk) 10:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Sitaramradheshyam Your reviewers want to know how/why it is independently notable of ISKCON, which already has a Wikipedia article. They suggest that you incorporate your work into a section in that article. If you want this to be a standalone article, you will need to give your reviewers good reasons why.

I'm a poet and one of my purpose of being here is to be publishing my poems for Wikipedia readers to be benefiting from it. I've tried and make research if Wikipedia supports that but I will appreciate it if I can get the right answer here. If Wikipedia supports Poems, what are the guidelines to follow. Thanks. Hiqmahempire (talk) 14:01, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hiqmahempire Wikipedia is not a web host, it doesn't publish poetry or any original works. Theroadislong (talk) 14:18, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hiqmahempire What Theroadislong said is correct. That said, "inside humor" that is about Wikipedia can sometimes have a place outside of the "encyclopedia" part of Wikipedia. One seasonal example is Wikipedia:The Night Before Wikimas, which is a Wiki-centric riff of the old Christmas classic A Visit from St. Nicholas. Again, just to re-emphasize, this is NOT part of the encyclopedia itself. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 22:45, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I am writing a wikipedia page about aerockets created by 2 close friends of me, for the sources I have their website their youtube channel and their google business page, but I assume that the last 2 are not a good type of source?
Xander710 (talk) 19:43, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Xander710 None of those are acceptable. A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. Sources associated with the company are not acceptable for establishing notability. 331dot (talk) 20:41, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Xander710: I think that it's a bit of a stretch to call a pair of model rocket enthusiasts an "aerospace manufacturer". Further, there has to be a hundred thousand model rocket enthusiasts on the planet, and we can't have an article about every one of them. Only when the subjects become notable per our General Notability Guideline would we consider publishing an article about them. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:21, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello there,
I would like to ask for a re-view to this article. A friend of mine tried to creat a wikipedia article about VAVA Eyewear, but we didn't put any references to the text that we wrote.
I did some research and found some newspappers and magazines that verify the text that he wrote before.
I hope everything is in order right now.
All the best. Writerforfuture14 (talk) 10:18, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Writerforfuture14: Is you friend the same person that wrote https://www.eye-book.com/2020/10/a-chat-with-pedro-da-silva/? If he is, that article is unsiutable for Wikipedia. Interviews and other primary sources are of limited use. The given text is overly promotional. If your friend isn't the person that wrote that, we have a real problem. Either way, based on the source text, the (deleted) revisions are not acceptable for Wikipedia. That does not mean an article cannot be created, however, any new attempt will have to start from a blank page. There are steps for article attempts avaliable here, here or here.

Hi there, I submitted the article below from a different page (which now is deleted since the name North Star Systems Inc. didn’t meet Wikipedia requirements) and it got declined due to these reasons: "1. 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. 2. Blatant advertising and copy-pasting of mission statements including trademark symbols" Please provide any specific feedback you can to improve this article so it hopefully doesn't get declined again. 1. If I don't have to include trademarks, I won't. I just thought I had to since their product is trademarked. 2. I also tried to change a lot of words so its not copy-paste but there are some words I just can't change because it will change the whole sentence and might also misinterpret what this company believes in.. 3. I provided all possible references that exist about this company to back up the information I'd like to contribute to Wikipedia. Your help is appreciated.

00:26:55, 30 December 2020 review of draft by Mvb71
I'm having trouble identifying what I think must be NPV issues on my article for Burp Suite Draft:Burp Suite. This software was requested as being needed Wikipedia:Requested articles/Applied arts and sciences due to the frequent use of this in Application Security teaching and professional use, and I believe I have established its notability per recommended methods for establishing through authoritative and peer-reviewed sources so I don't believe that is the issue. I've modeled my page after existing proprietary software such as Nessus Nessus (software) to ensure I'm approaching this in a community approved approach to creating an article for a commercial product; I wanted to make sure it wasn't interpreted as marketing and has gone through several revs to address this. The last reviewer declined the pages without comment after I had addressed issues called in prior critiques; those comments are critical to changing my perspective to address what I'm not accounting for. Without guidance from the reviewers, I can't fix what I don't see as needing fixing, either NPV or notability, or maybe something else I'm missing. I'm not a very experienced Wiki author, but I am a cybersecurity professional of over a decade of experience, so I'm confused as to where I'm not addressing concerns. Somewhere I'm not addressing the need for ensuring enough information to show notability and describe its use but not do so in a way that appears to be marketing. Please help me understand what needs changing to address concerns with the article. Mvb71 (talk) 00:26, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

00:32:37, 30 December 2020 review of submission by Zgover
Please clarify which sources you deem to not be notable? I have made all corrections requested by previous reviewer Theroadislong and they no longer had any recommendations. However the recent rejection is vague.
zgover (talk) 00:32, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Zgover. It is irrelevant whether or not a publication is notable. What is important is whether a source demonstrates the subject's notability. That is done by sources that are independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of the topic. All of the sources in the draft fail that multi-part test. Throw away non-independent sources: Caringo, businesswire, AustinVentures, and trade journals (SearchStorage, CRN, and Enterprise Systems Journal). Throw away sources that are not reliable (Owler). Throw away sources that do not contain significant coverage (Bloomberg and The Austin-American Statesman). There's nothing left. That's pretty much what one would expect of a privately held startup; they're very rarely notable, and no amount of editing can fix that. That's why there's no option to resubmit the draft, and why volunteers do not intend to review it again. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:25, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi there I am a first time page creator and i am trying to create a page for my brother who is a respected Australian Indigenous Scientist... He is an Associate Professor at Canberra University. Via Google Scholar his articles have been cited 180 times and has won a number of prestigious awards in Science... I am interested in your feedback.. Thank you Tim (brother of Brad).
Moggo99 (talk) 04:35, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Moggo99 You currently have one uncited paragraph about your brother; that is a long way from being an acceptable Wikipedia article. Successfully writing a new article(not a mere "page") is the absolute hardest task to perform on Wikipedia. If you dive right in without any experience in editing existing articles, or any knowledge, your chances of success are low. It's even harder to write one with a conflict of interest. I would suggest using the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia, and reading Your First Article before continuing. I would also suggest spending time(months) editing existing articles in areas that interest you, to get a feel for how Wikipedia operates and what is expected of article content. These things will give you experience and knowledge that will help you create a new article.
- Wikipedia is not for merely telling about someone; it is for summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, in this case, a scientist- showing how they meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable academic or scientist. If you just want to tell the world about your brother, you should use social media or other outlet where that is permitted and may have less stringent requirements. 331dot (talk) 08:02, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

dryair 09:14, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Sudan Bhattarai Upadhaya Alexa rankings are not a concern of Wikipedia. A subject merits a Wikipedia article if it receives significant coverage in independent reliable sources that have chosen on their own to write about it, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability. Because of this, not every subject merits an article, even within the same field.

Are you allowed to submit a draft for review, but then create the article itself without a reiewer? Not that I'm going to do that obviously. And also, a lot of sources are dead for this topic, but I did find a news article and a NOAA page about it, hopefully my stub will be created
🔥LightningComplexFire🔥 18:47, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- At some point, you will have enough edits and your account will be old enough that you will have the technical ability to create articles and to move a draft into the main encyclopedia. That said, it is generally unwise to do so unless you already know your way around Wikipedia and are already a "seasoned editor" in all but name, such as an editor with months of active editing "as a non-logged in editor" before registering an account. However, the fact that you are asking the question suggests that is not the case here. Assuming you are new to Wikipedia, by the time you have enough experience to wisely decide if your draft is "ready to move" it will have been reviewed. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 20:26, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi LightningComplexFire. The Articles for creation process is an optional one, you are allowed to move the draft into article space without having it accepted by a reviewer. If you do so, however, and a patroller feels it isn't ready for article space, they may bounce it back to draft space or nominate it for deletion. It would be a shame to see your effort go up in smoke. Articles for creation lets you get feedback from experienced Wikipedians and improve the draft at your leisure. I've added five potential sources to the draft's talk page. If you don't have access to them, WP:RX can help you obtain them. Use them to improve the draft, emphasizing the way(s) it meets WP:WILDFIRE-NOTE and the fire's long-term impacts. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:48, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Elyptika (talk) 10:40, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Elyptika The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. The person does not seem to meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable creative professional, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 11:55, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Elyptika I can't speak for Theroadislong but usually when a reviewer rejects a submission because "This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia" it means two things:
- The submission does not provide sufficient evidence that the subject meets Wikipedia's notability criteria, and
- Either 1) The reviewer either knows enough about the subject to say flat-out "this is not notable," 2) the reviewer has attempted to find evidence that the person meets Wikipedia's notability criteria and failed to find it, OR 3) the topic is obviously of the type where reliable sources are almost certain to not exist.
- Examples of the first would be if the submission were about an author that the reviewer was already familiar enough with to know that the author in question was not notable.
- Examples of the second would be almost anything that post-dates the arrival of general access to the internet in that part of the world, where sources, if they existed at all, would be expected to turn up in an internet search. This would cover almost all 21st century English-language writers.
- Examples of the third would be things that are almost never notable, such as an author who fails Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Creative professionals and where there is no evidence in the submission that the person might be "notable" under some other criteria.
- In RARE cases, the reviewer may have missed something and the rejection was an error. It's not common, but it happens. In cases like this, the submitter has to clearly demonstrate that the topic being written about does in fact meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Don't bother trying unless you are very familiar with Wikipedia's notability guidelines and this is a "clear-cut error" not merely a judgment call that you happen to disagree with. The burden will be on you to show that an error was made.
- In RARE cases, the subject's notability will have changed after the rejection. For example, if the person won a major award such as the National Book Award tomorrow, there will almost certainly be enough significant coverage from reliable, independent sources that the person would be considered "notable" by Wikipedia terms. If this happens, PLEASE update the article, remove any thing that isn't written in a neutral point of view, and re-submit. This actually happened in the last year or two, where a Nobel Prize-winning scientist didn't have an article until the prize was announced, even though the scientist probably would have passed WP:NACADEMIC.

Hi, I've written a page about an artist and art director. It was declined at first, because of this message:
"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 people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia".
I understand it and now I've a question, about those references. What kind they have to be? Because the subject of my wiki page doesn't have so much coverage in the internet articles, he is mentioned several times when one of his work is published, but most of the interview he gave, in all of these years, are for magazine and papers, not online. Do you of Wikipedia need proof of that? Can I submit the papers in some way? And this is because in the message above it's specified "not just passing mentions" but if you research his name you'll find only those. And it's also a reason to have a wikipedia page, to have more coverage! I can submit proofs, if it's needed Thank you!
Immersivearteditor (talk) 14:37, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Immersivearteditor To merit a Wikipedia article, a artist must be shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources to meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable creative professional. To take that apart a bit, "Significant coverage" is that which goes beyond things like routine announcements or brief mentions. "Independent" means that the sources must not have originated from the subject, so no press releases, interviews, a personal website, or social media accounts. "Reliable" means that the source must have a reputation of fact checking and editorial control.
- Sources do not need to be online, and do not need to be easy or free to access, but they must be publicly available(such as being in a library). Documents in private hands inaccessible to the public are not acceptable. 331dot (talk) 14:50, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

I don't know why my article are not publishing, let me know if I am missing any information because all content provided by Saira Peter who is the singer. SingerSairaPeter (talk) 14:47, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- SingerSairaPeter First, if you are not Saira Peter, you will need to change your username; please visit Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:CHUS to do that. If you represent her, you will need to read about conflict of interest and paid editing to learn how to make the required paid editing declaration(a Terms of Use requirement).
- You say the information was provided by her; Wikipedia is not interested in what someone wants to say about themselves. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a singer, showing how they meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable singer. 331dot (talk) 14:53, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

- Malcolm L. Mitchell (talk · contribs) (TB)
I recently submitted a draft article, Draft:The Catch II. After review, it was deemed "insufficient content to require an article of its own", I want to ask, could anyone suggest what to add to make it a better standalone article? I truly believe it has merit to be its own article instead of just part of the 1998-99 NFL playoffs page.

Request on 15:33:33, 2 January 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Daniela De Rentiis

I'm Daniela De Rentiis and I'm trying to put on english wikipedia the exaxt traslation of a wikipage in italian language: the biography of Santino Spinelli. This fact was pointed out 10 hours ago: This article was translated from the Italian Wikipedia article it:Santino Spinelli by Daniela De Rentiis. Subsequently, [1] is using the English translation without attribution, in violation of the terms of Wikipedia's license. If someone could bring that to the website manager's attention (it sounds like the translator is in contact with them?), that would be great. As Victor Schmidt pointed out here, material in Wikipedia is licensed in a way that it can be re-used with some conditions. See Wikipedia:Reusing Wikipedia content for a guide on the topic. Thanks all for bringing this to WP:Copyright problems. Sorry for the slow response. Ajpolino (talk) 05:19, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
My question is: how could I pubblisha simple translation of a biography from Italian to english?
I'm hete to officially ask for help.

- Daniela De Rentiis It's important to understand when translating articles on other language versions of Wikipedia that each language version is its own project, with its own editors, policies, and standards. What is acceptable on one language version(say, the Italian one) is not necessarily acceptable here. As the English Wikipedia is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, it has more developed standards for inclusion than other versions. As noted by reviewers on the draft, you need to show with significant coverage in independent reliable sources that this musician meets the English Wikipedia definition of a notable musician. 331dot (talk) 15:38, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
