Vollylee (talk) 06:39, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Vollylee: Wikipedia may not be used for promotion of anything. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch for things to watch out for. Victor Schmidt (talk) 07:44, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
I am the staff of MIC, I have not done any promotional content. We don't have company page on wikipedia, so I created one. What's more, we don't need any wikipedia paid service.
- Vollylee Wikipedia does not have "company pages"; it has articles about companies, typically written by independent editors. Those articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself, but in what others completely unconnected with the company say about it. Your draft was blatant advertising.
- Since you work for this company, the Terms of Use require you to make a formal paid editing declaration; you should also review conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 08:55, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello,
I don't understand what went wrong. It's the leading piping company in India. Do I need to change the wordings??? Please check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finolex_Cables, it is more notable than it!
Tawianomlet (talk) 10:57, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Theroadislong I did read it, but it says it's an essay. Those are not Rules, and I read that Rules can be improved/changed overtime, but that's not what I am talking about. It's fine that Finolex Cables is what I used in my defense, but that's only because it was a similar field. I have seen many American companies on Wikipedia that are far more less notable than my Draft, less references too. But they are kept because they are known in the US through word-of-mouth. This is not fair for other countries :/
I checked Finolex's history, it was nominated for deletion earlier and someone clearly said it is notable. I mean, these are the leading industry companies! Not startups! How can a not notable company earn in billions? If your restaurant is busy 24*7, then it means it's famous in the city. If a company, that also a piping company that sells stuff for less than a USD, earns in billions, then it means it has some significant presence in the country.
Is it possible to get a conses on this, including Indian editors?
Thank you!
If there's anything I can do with the wordings, then let me know because it reads normal to me.Tawianomlet (talk) 12:22, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Tawianomlet Please point out these other articles that you say are less notable; we can only address what we know about, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us. We could use the help in identifying inappropriate articles for action.
- Wikipedia articles must do more than tell about a company, they must summarize what independent reliable sources say about it. The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 12:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
331dot It says that rejected Drafts are not suggested to be submitted again, where does it say that they are a gone case? I am trying to establish something here.
Technically, each article about a company will talk about its history, achievements, and legal cases. This is literally Wikipedia "telling" about a company. What have I done? I summarized what the sources said. That's how other companies are too.
And sure, I will put the notability and deletion tag on companies that seem to be not notable. But I wonder if that's gonna work because they will be known in the US through word-of-mouth.
Two such companies are these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Ice_Cream_Company, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garolini (Italian then US) Tawianomlet (talk) 12:44, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- I just checked a couple of your sources for Draft:Prince_Pipes_and_Fittings_Limited they failed verification, the sources do NOT say the company is the largest in India. Theroadislong (talk) 13:00, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- I replied to this on my talk page: Theroadislong A quick Google search will show it is amongst the top ones, I rewrote it as "one of the largest."
https://indiancompanies.in/top-10-pvc-pipe-manufacturers-in-india/ https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-list-of-top-10-PVC-pipe-manufacturers-in-India http://www.walkthroughindia.com/industry/15-manufacturing-companies-of-pvc-pipes-in-india/ https://www.indiasstuffs.com/best-pvc-pipe-fitting-companies-in-india/
These may be bad sources, but it does mean something.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tawianomlet (talk • contribs) 13:26, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Tawianomlet Telling about the company is only part of an article, you haven't established that this company meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company, and in rejecting it the reviewer felt that the prospect of that happening is low. Please review the notability criteria carefully, with a focus on what sources are not acceptable for establishing notability.
- You are fighting for this very hard, do you have a particular interest in this company? 331dot (talk) 14:14, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
331dot Then reject/delete other companies too. They are literally not notable compared to Prince Fittings. I do have a particular interest, not directly but I do.
- Tawianomlet This is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can. As I said, you are welcome to help us identify inappropriate articles for action. We can only address what we know about. Please also review conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 14:43, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
I am a volunteer too. I have started to put the tags. I am not connected to Prince Fittings? I have an interest in it. How to do the COI? And I am fighting hard because the decision was wrong. It is literally a notable company. 331dot Tawianomlet (talk) 14:50, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Tawianomlet Having an "interest" in a topic has a specific meaning for Wikipedia. You wrote "I do have a particular interest, not directly but I do." A conflict of interest would apply if you have a personal connection to the company, or people at the company, or reached out to the company to get information to compose the draft. If true, then on your User page you should describe the connection. If not, then state that on your Talk page. David notMD (talk) 14:58, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

- Jess.goodwin (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hello, my recent submission of the page John Paul Ataker was declined this morning because it was "contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia" and a comment was left saying "this is an advertisement". I put this page together on behalf of a client, who provided the copy and references.
They would very much like to have a Wiki page about their company, as many other high end clothing brands do, so if you could help me improve this article so it can be approved, it would be greatly appreciated.
Jess.goodwin (talk) 12:56, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Jess.goodwin To be frank, Wikipedia is completely unconcerned with whether a potential subject wants an article or not, is completely unconcerned with its internet presence, helping potential customers, or similar. Those may be side benefits but not our goal. Our sole focus is on summarizing 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. Not every company merits an article, even within the same field. It depends on the sources. The company website, staff interviews, brief mentions, announcements of routine business activities, and other primary sources do not establish notability. Please read Your first article. 331dot (talk) 14:21, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- I concur, this is blatant advertising and I would have rejected it outright too " brand targets a fashion-forward clientèle" and "featured in influential fashion and celebrity publications' is NOT neutral tone for example. Theroadislong (talk) 14:31, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi,
My draft article has two errors that I cannot figure out how to fix. They are both under the References section. Entries #2 and #3 have the following written in red: Check |archive-url= value (help).
The References are links to archived New York Times articles. I am not sure how to fix this, can you help?
The article is at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Darryn_Melerine
Thank you!
Thecr8tve (talk) 16:39, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Here is my assessment of the sources you proffer (guide):
- https://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/18/us/nationalspecial/returning-to-neighborhoods-that-are-no-longer-home.html is borderline. It doesn't contain a whole lot of relevant information about Melerine himself.
- We can't use https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2005/09/17/national/18stormA1.ready.html (too sparse). We don't cite images or their captions.
- We can't use https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2005/09/18/national/18sceneCA01ready.html (too sparse).
- https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/us/louisiana-lake-charles-trump-power-generators.html is useless for notability (too sparse). Name-drop.
- https://www.kplctv.com/video/2020/08/31/hurricane-laura-mandeville-men-give-back-years-after-hurricane-katrina/ is fine.
- We can't use https://www.usmaf.org/school-directory.html (too sparse). Directory.
- https://blackbeltmag.com/benefits-of-martial-arts-for-all is useless for notability (unknown provenance). Role byline.
- https://www.askmen.com/fitness/workout/fitness-trends-around-the-world.html is useless for notability (connexion to subject). Prose interview.
- We can't use https://thechive.com/2020/04/08/how-to-plan-a-quarantine-date-night-12-photos-and-gifs/ (unknown provenance). Article is conspicuously tagged as sponsored content. Even if it weren't, it would be useless for notability as a non sequitur.
- https://www.wbrz.com/news/topgolf-holds-soft-opening-in-baton-rouge/ is useless for notability (Too sparse). Sound bite.

Derek Alexander (talk) 21:16, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
What is an example of "independent sources" that can be put under references? What makes a good "independent source"? What makes a good "independent source" qualifiable in order for his wiki article to be approved or accepted so that he can be notable? And how can I get an "independent source" to write more about Carlos Garrido so that he can become notable on wikipedia as well as appear on google like how most celebrities appear on Wikipedia & google? Because some user by the name @"Theroadislong" left two comments on my article, with one of them, if not both, being so silly & foolish saying that 1.) "zero independent sources, so zero chances of being acceptable." & 2.) "sources need to be independent NOT his own websites." And I have a comment about his comments as well as something to say about that - let me give you an example: Jason David Frank's business website "Rising Sun Karate School" is listed on his references side of his wikipedia page as an "independent source" that was created, added &/or edited by some anonymous user. So therefore, Carlos's company website should be considered as an "independent source." So that leads up to another follow up question: What makes Jason David Frank's business website qualified as an "independent source" under his wiki references, and not Carlos's business website? Carlos's business website IS an independent source, even if his official website may not be considered one. This is B.S., hypocritical, unfair & ridiculous.
- Courtesy link Draft:Carlos Garrido. Theroadislong (talk) 21:21, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Derek Alexander: an independent source is one that is not connected to the subject. A personal website or a website of a company they work for or with is not independent. Now we don’t outright ban the use of primary sources such as personal websites we do limit their use to only verifying very simple facts such as a date of birth. A Wikipedia article should based on what others have said about the subject in published independent reliable sources, not what they say about themselves. If there is enough of this sort of coverage we then say they may be notable. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 22:31, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

- We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every biographical claim the draft makes that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to a strong third-party source that corroborates the claim or removed wholesale. This is a hard requirement when writing biographical content about living or recently-departed people on Wikipedia and is NOT NEGOTIABLE.

Here's the story. I'm new. I work for a charity, LiveWorkPlay. We had an article on Wikipedia for probably ten years. I didn't create it or edit but I was aware of it I just discovered it had been deleted. It seemed mainly because some didn't like the sourcing many of the links to media sources had expired so fair enough. I asked for undelete but this didn't seem likely. So I got the advice to create new Draft:LiveWorkPlay. I declared conflict of interest. I worked on the article for about 6 hours. I used 95% secondary sources. For my troubles I got accused of being a paid editor and also a very long message saying that the article read like an advertisement and too many internal sources - I have degrees in history education and linguistics - to me the content was blandly factual and excessively sourced - other feedback - not notable enough - too promotional - help.me understand how to demonstrate "notability" but avoid being "promotional" - the article certainly isn't going to sell anything or make money for anyone. All facts stated are sourced. I've looked at other articles for similar organizations and frankly they seem totally inferior - not nearly as well sourced and read like a brochure.
I don't understand what I was supposed to do - very aggressive comments about my being a "paid editor" I was given the advice to write the article - how else does it happen? I asked for help and other people did help edit - I feel like a criminal and I'm just not getting what that's all about. My preference was to try to fix the old article. I didn't want to write it. I thought what I wrote was pretty solid. And the criticism didn't match up to the article I am really upset and confused about the accusation of the references being self generated when they are not they are almost 100% secondary and I'm not getting paid one penny - I declared the conflict of interest immediately which seems fair but the insistence on paid editor does not. Ultimately after all this I'd just like to see an acceptable article. If someone can do that - because I clearly don't understand the sourcing and promotional issues - that would be great.

I was forced into identifying as a paid editor. I have read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure over and over. I do work for the organization in the article. But I sm absolutely NOT being paid directly or indirectly for anything to do with Wikipedia. In was accused of being some sort of dark operative I never hid that I worked for the organization and I disclosed it immediately as a conflict of interest. In was told the article could not be edited or approved if I did not identify as a paid editor. I do not underhand why I was accused in this way and forced in this way. I would like this to be removed. Other editors have already volunteered to ensure neutrality. This has been a very negative and punitive experience.
Iamthekanadian (talk) 06:14, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- Iamthekanadian You have found out the hard way that diving right in to creating an article(the hardest thing to do on Wikipedia) without any experience in editing Wikipedia in general often leads to hurt feelings and disappointment as things happen to your work that you don't understand. It would be like building a house without knowing anything about electrical work, plumbing, getting permits, or anything about the process itself. I'm sorry this has happened.
- You do meet the definition of a paid editor. Any paid editing relationship with a subject you are editing about must be disclosed per the Terms of Use. You do not have to be specifically paid to edit or specifically directed to edit.
- You have a common misconception about what Wikipedia is for. It is not a place to merely tell about something and what it does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about(in this case) an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself, only in what others completely unconnected with the organization choose to say about it. Most of the sources you have offered are not acceptable for establishing notability, because they are brief mentions, announcements of routine activities, or similar sources. Please review the notability criteria for more information, as well as Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 06:37, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Well, respectfully, I have degrees in history, education, and linguistics and have written articles for journals, and I've been a Wikipedua user for I guess 15+ years, so it's not quite like the plumbing analogy, but thanks for the help.
Where does it say that anyone who is employed by an organization is a paid editor? Like, the plumber who works for the Buccaneers can't edit the Buccaneers page without declaring as a paid editor?
I have read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure five times and that's not what I'm seeing.
As for the article itself, it seems like a few neutral people have had a go at it - I guess you are saying the third party sources aren't significant enough - that's obviously an opinion to which you are entitled but that's a far cry from the accusation that I used internal sources and was engaged in dark ops. But I get it. I'm the basis guy. Thanks again.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamthekanadian (talk • contribs)
- Iamthekanadian I don't see where you were "accused of dark ops", but please understand that many paid editors are very sneaky and that may cause other editors to be jaded. We have no way to know what your employer has told you(i.e. whether to edit or not, whether you are "on the clock" or not) this is why any paid relationship with a subject must be disclosed- as lomg as conceivably you could be editing as part of your job duties(even if you actually aren't, again, we have no way to know this). You created this account three days ago so I was going by that history. It's still the case that many readers don't understand what actually goes into an article- even ones who are professional writers in other areas, because Wikipedia writing is very different. I've dealt with journalists and other professionals who had great difficulty here despite success in their careers. 331dot (talk) 07:14, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. I will reiterate that I had IMMEDIATELY declared a conflict of interest, which makes sense. I even disclosed IMMEDIATELY that I worked for the organization. The policy on paid editors is not as clear as some seem to think it is - why not just say "If you work for Disney as a ticket taker, if you edit Cinderella you have to identify as a paid contributor." Seems like that would be very clear. I'm no genius but I can't be the first person to read the terms and reach a different conclusion. And yes I was accused of dark ops despite IMMEDIATELY being fully transparent. I think I was lucky enough to find at least one editor who just wants to address any deficiencies and not accuse me or insult me so hopefully it works out and it's not just a bad experience.
My mistake I don't see "black ops" only "dark hat." It was part of a very long lecture about my deficits and I musremembered it. Apologies.

- JMKrasuski (talk · contribs) (TB)
I’ve created this page as a record of the history of a nonprofit organization and I followed the format of a multitude of other Wikipedia pages covering similar nonprofits, so I am not sure how to go about making the wording sound less like an “advertisement” for a business as the page rejection stated, and more like an encyclopedia article. It contains unbiased content, simple and straightforward stated facts about the organization and its history, and has a lot of resources to demonstrate the historical accuracy. I would love any help or advice I could get to bring this page to the public.
JMKrasuski (talk) 16:00, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- JMKrasuski The draft is an advertisement because it just tells about your organization and what it does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization says about itself, but in what others completely unaffiliated with it choose on their own to say about it. "Significant coverage" does not include things like staff interviews, brief mentions, announcements of routine activities, press releases, any materials put out by the organization, or other primary sources.
- I see that you are writing about your own organization- this is usually very difficult for people in your position to do as required by Wikipedia. Successfully creating a new article is the hardest task to perform on Wikipedia- and it's even more difficult with a conflict of interest. We don't want just basic facts- any organization may give those on its own website or social media accounts. Please read Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 18:55, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Everything stated in this article is sourced! I know there is only one source, but he is long dead and it is just not possible to find more about him. However, his name is attached to an important equation in mathematical physics and people should at least be able to find out some basic information about him in this context (at least this was my motivation for creating this page). He exists on WP in six other languages (arz,es,fr,pl,pt,ru) demonstrating that other WP projects consider the present information sufficiently sourced! I tried to talk to the admin denying this page, however, to no avail. There are several similar requests on the users's talk page but this user does not seem to reply to other users questions.

- What other Wikipedia projects think is irrelevant - they have different standards from en.wp (which is on the stricter side in re notability and sourcing) and each other because they are all different communities. Have you even attempted to look at offline sources (i.e. scholarly books)? We accept dead-tree sources, if cited properly, and if he predates the rise of the Internet you're far more likely to find sources in print media rather than online, especially on books that cover the history of his field of expertise. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 19:51, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

The person may be notable, but you just tell us what they have done, and not summarized what others say about them, such as what exactly their influence was or significance is(not what you say it is, what they say it is).

Will the draft be improved by inserting of the paras below, three citations by eminent professors:
Dr. Norman G. Barrier, Professor Emeritus, Asia and Sikh Studies, at the University of Missouri, credits Mahal for “(play(ing) an important role in fostering multiculturalism in Canada, as well as providing leadership for health care in Ontario (and) after decades of writing for Sikh journals and magazines across the globe, he has assembled a coherent perspective on Sikhism and the Sikh community.”
Dr. Hardev Singh, Professor of Eminence (Physics), SGGS World University, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab (India) and a renowned Sikh scholar, acknowledges Mahal for “writ(ing) extensively on the Sikh ethos and challenges faced by the Sikh diaspora (and) hav(ing) traveled over five continents and gained lot of experience of living in multicultural societies around the globe (which) has provided him with a platform to promote multiculturalism in Canada.”
In his editorial review of Mahal’s book (“origin of Jat Race”) Dr. Visho L. Sharma, Emeritus Professor at Western Michigan University, attests to Mahal’s “carefully researched and well written account (that) shows awareness of the dispute regarding divers origins of species and the nature of cultural diffusion….. with the raging controversy over how the Indian nation was formed…..with the consensus forming around the notion of thousands of years of wide-spread cultural intercourse (on) the Eurasian steppe full of political upheavals which constantly shifted whole groupings from one location to another; indeed, the Scythians are shown to have dispersed helter-skelter across more than a thousand miles.”

Hey there, ICICB Group page was told as promotional so i reviewed the page and support every information with sources as much as possible but this time page got deleted completely.

I may not be famous but I have recently won an award and been nominated for other awards for my work in filmmaking. I have dedicated years to writing books and poetry. It just seems unfair that because I’m not famous, I don’t get a page on Wikipedia. Why? Despite all my efforts as a creator, you deny me a simple page to show my filmography and published works but yet you will happily add some YouTuber Pratt instead!
Benjiedev (talk) 21:41, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Benjiedev: fame is only one small factor we take into consideration when reviewing drafts. You personal feelings also have no bearing on the review nor does the fact that any other article exists. You repeatedly ignored the advice given to you in the decline messages which guided you to provide secondary sourcing to establish a level of notability which is the standard for inclusion. We do not accept IMDb or self published such as books or press releases as sources to prove notability. The article needs to based what others have written and published in reliable sources. If no one has taken the time to do this somewhere else that isn’t connected to you, then maybe you do not currently qualify for an encyclopedia article.

DRAFT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mohammad_B._Ghaffari DRAFT: Mohammad B. Ghaffari
Wbeeman (talk) 23:00, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
I was quite shocked and taken aback to have an immediate rejection (after five minutes!) of my draft article on Mohammad B. Ghaffari. Mr. Ghaffari is acknowledged to be one of the world's greatest experts on Iranian ta'ziyeh, and a distinguished actor and director. There were a substantial number of external references to his work by distinguished authors and publications, such as The Drama Review and The New York Times. What more is needed in order to make this article acceptable? I wrote this because, as a theater researcher myself I have collaborated with Mr. Ghaffari, and am constantly having to provide his biography and references to other researchers because of the significance of his work. I would appreciate an answer and some feedback.

I am requesting this re-review of this draft about the relations between South Ossetia and the United States for the reason it appears from the last AfD, that those who voted to either delete or redirect the article didn't either take my keep vote into consideration, where I outlined countries that don't formally recognize each other and yet there exists articles about their lack of relations. For example, North Korea–United States relations, Armenia–Turkey relations, Armenia–Azerbaijan relations, Bhutan–United States relations, and Israel's lack of relations with Arab and Muslim majority countries such as Algeria, Tunisia, Afghanistan to name a few. Wouldn't some of these articles be regarded as having a lack of notability particularly the ones concerning Israel? And the United States' lack of relations with Bhutan still exists and yet that article isn't considered suffering from a lack of notability. There is a significant matter regarding both nations in where under federal law of the United States outlaws American aid to South Ossetia. In my view, this counts as notable, since United States foreign relations legislation has a powerful effect on global affairs. I think South Ossetia is not given a second look because it seems all that matters is to stuff the International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia with this kind of information when clearly it deserves to be on its own page. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:43, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

- 1. Diplomatic relations between two countries is in general a sufficient condition for notability. It is not the only sufficient condition. One or another condition was met in the cases listed by WCM. No other sufficient condition exists for the US and South Ossetia.
- 2. The "powerful influence" of the United States on global affairs must be taken into account. But does that mean that there should be an article about US relations with every limited-recognition country? I don't think so.
- 3. If an article was deleted very recently, a draft is essentially asking the reviewer to ignore the deletion. I won't ignore a deletion. There are cases where the situation may change after the deletion. This mostly happens with BLPs. I don't think that the status of South Ossetia has changed in the past month.
- 4. If a reviewer were to accept the draft, it would likely be deleted again, either by G4 or by another AFD. Reviewers don't want to accept an article that will probably be deleted.
- 5. Some other editors and I have said that DRV is an option. You will at least be given a hearing there.
- 6. WikiCleanerMan is auto-confirmed, and can move the draft into article space, but, if so, they risk either a G4 or another AFD.

- Robert McClenon, you accepted by Abkhazia and Somaliland articles. Those limited recognized states' relations with the U.S. are significant. I do intend to create a few more because again when it's the United States it is significant because of the United States' dominance as a global power. My Abkhazia article also contains a lot of the same information in the South Ossetia draft because their relations with the U.S. intersect. I don't see why my Abkhazia article has notability and yet South Ossetia doesn't qualify under the same standard? --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:10, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

The reviewer mentioned reliable source and not just passing comments, I would like an expatiation on that too because all the reference cited are from third parties and picked from their respective websites and to the best of my knowledge they are one of the most reliable sources you can have around here.Thanks

would you I rather remove them? and doesn't it mean blogs citations are not allowed?
- Hi AllenJossy. Newspaper and magazine blogs may be as acceptable as content published by the same news organization in a more traditional format, but see WP:NEWSBLOG for cautions to observe. A self-published blog (such as oldnaija.com) may be used for uncontroversial descriptions of itself according to WP:ABOUTSELF, but otherwise is not a reliable source for facts. The Nigerian Tribune piece makes only passing mention of Wells Radio as the organizer of an event. Pacesetter News merely quotes a statement by Wellsradio about another topic, it is not arms-length coverage about Wellsradio.
- Internet radio stations are not presumed notable just for existing. They are eligible for a standalone article only if they meet the WP:CORP or WP:GNG notability standards, which few do. Continuing to push for creation of an article about Wellsradio when they are plainly unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia will not end well. The draft might be deleted, and you might lose your editing privileges. There are millions of other topics to write about. Choose another, and forget about Wellsradio, or consider an alternative outlet for your writing. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:53, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello - Neil From Wired - We'd love a wiki / feel notable enough to have a presence. I understand one of our team originally tried to create with support from a couple of our community mods. full declaration I work for the company. I'm keen to rebuild and resubmit, but completely understand the feedback that it reads too much like a product catalogue/sales text. Not the intention at all. I did submit a request a few years back for someone to help build a simple and Wiki, as we have many of our games already here. I'm more than happy to strip back the page, my team tells me they may have miss understood previous feedback and I think we just keep missing what is being asked.
I'm happy to edit/strip it and would more than welcome advice to ensure the page is suitable NeilDavidB84 (talk) 09:01, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- First, you are obligated to formally disclose your relationship on your userpage; see WP:PAID for details. Second, the reason it keeps coming out reading like a product catalogue is almost certainly because of your (collective) conflict of interest, even the best writers let their biases show in their writing, and it is incredibly difficult to write neutrally with respect to something or someone you work for. This might explain the feelings that signals have gotten mixed. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 11:44, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
I completely agree - I really don't want any sort of sales page at all, simple the better. If there is a way to pay for this service or having an unbiased edit that just related to the information that is of note, I would be happy to sort - clearly I am a novice and gone about this wrong for which I apologise. OR I'm happy to completely stip the page back. Please advise what is best. I will read the instruction on how to disclose my relationship.
NeilDavidB84(NeilDavidB84 (talk) 13:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC))
- Paying for a Wikipedia article is usually a scam, if not in intent than in practise. (Asking about where to get mercs is also a very good way to torque us off, and they would also be obligated to disclose and would still have a conflict of interest.) My suggestion is to look at how featured-level articles are written, particularly those on businesses, and to review the manual of style for Wikipedia. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 13:39, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

- You can always do more research for better sources; having a conflict of interest doesn't preclude that. Your issues have primarily been with promotion, rather than criticism of your sources (though once that is addressed, I would expect your sources to be assessed almost immediately after). —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 13:49, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

- This draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. None of your English-language sources are any good (I can't assess the Tamil ones due to the language barrier). —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 11:46, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, can you tell me what edits I need to make to this page so that it is not declined? Grand Rounds has had a wikipedia page for a number of years. I made sure to take out all of the advertising language and promotional language. I am also happy to take out any more language, but am curious what needs to be edited.

This article was rejected two previous times for reasons I understood and have tried to correct. But now this third time it has been rejected for reasons of “notability” and says there aren’t enough independent sources. I quote multiple journalistic articles that are solely about this musician, including in The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, The La Crosse Tribune, St. Croix Valley Magazine, and more. Is that really not enough?? Can I get a second opinion? Thank you.
