05:46, 21 February 2024 review of submission by Ngaihthang
As long as, I can I was fix my doing work and please check it for me. Ngaihthang (talk) 05:46, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Firstly, stop moving it! It's considered disruptive and if you keep doing it, you could be liable for a block. Secondly, the draft has been rejected, so I can't really help you. Flux55 (my talk page) 06:11, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

How can I improve the article to be published on the article page? Considering that many references cannot be defined. Drrabizadeh (talk) 07:19, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Drrabizadeh your draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. You say "Considering that many references cannot be defined" which suggests the journal does not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. Only topics that meet our WP:NOTABILITY criteria may have an article. Qcne (talk) 08:28, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- There is absolutely nothing in the draft to suggest that the journal is notable, so it has been rejected, it won't be considered further. Theroadislong (talk) 08:30, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
08:50, 21 February 2024 review of submission by 2003:E7:6724:B00:60BC:35A4:824:A9EF
I am using reliable sources for the wiki article, but it is still declined. Can anybody help? 2003:E7:6724:B00:60BC:35A4:824:A9EF (talk) 08:50, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- New sources seem to have been added after the decline, and the draft hasn't been resubmitted, so yes, it would indeed remain declined. If you believe that you have sufficiently addressed the decline reason(s), you need to resubmit the draft for a new review.
- PS: If you have an account, please log into it whenever editing. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:26, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

- Nwachinazo1 (talk · contribs) (TB)
I seek assistance for my article's references which two Wikipedia editors have reviewed and declined on the basis that they do not meet notability test. While I appreciate their efforts and time, their reason is saddening and discouraging as their reviews do not consider the contents of most references in terms of substantive coverage of the subject which establishes its notability. I wonder why third-party, reliable and independent sources referenced as 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 12 are considered as merely mentioning the subject in the passing. The same goes to the news source cited in number 3. Wikipedia policy notes that an article's subject must not necessarily be the main discussion in a source cited but it is notable if the source gives the subject sufficient coverage. Hence, the cited sources for my submission achieve this aim. Does a news content need to be over-detailed before Wikipedia reviewers agree with its in-depth treatment? Seriously, they have left me more confused and discouraged. Please I seek clarifications because Wikipedia policies do not append fixed rules in terms of notability through the subject's references.

- Courtesy link Draft:Christopher Ononukwe. Theroadislong (talk) 12:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- References 4 and 5 are based on interviews with Ononukwe. I didn't look any further.
- Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

14:45, 21 February 2024 review of submission by 2601:189:4100:4760:55FE:523F:AC4:3F97
I still don't understand what the problem is, and earlier I was trying to say I was trying to make an encyclopedia article, but I didn't want to to say "I intended to make an encyclopedia article", as that sounded too broad and very unprofessional. 2601:189:4100:4760:55FE:523F:AC4:3F97 (talk) 14:45, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- The 'problem' is that this is an encyclopaedia, not a platform for publicising things WP:MADEUPONEDAY.
- This draft has been rejected and will therefore not be considered further. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:49, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
16:33, 21 February 2024 review of submission by WikiDan61
I'm intrerested in knowing the community's feeling about an editor who repeatedly removes prior AFC decline notices and comments from a draft. The decline templates produce comments stating not to delete the templates, but I am unsure whether there is an official policy or guideline about this. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:33, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- I count it as disruptive editing, and would be minded to Reject. Qcne (talk) 16:37, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- @WikiDan61: drives me bonkers, just had one of those yesterday and earlier today (fortunately now blocked). In my experience they invariably turn out to be problem accounts - socks, LTAs, etc. (This one refers on their talk page to their 'old account'.) This draft is pure OR in any case, so I agree with Qcne, just reject it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

- RasheedVolkman (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hey there! I've requested the review of the first draft with little references. I've expanded the list of the references now, which are external mentions and Wikipedia mentions itself. Could you please tell me If I should do something else for this article to be submitted? RasheedVolkman (talk) 17:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- @RasheedVolkman: you have only two sources, neither of which counts towards notability.
- BTW, were you involved in editing the recent Draft:DeepWeb (website) draft, by any chance? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- No, sir. I'm not related to the draft you referred to and wasn't aware it was previously made. Thanks for your answer! RasheedVolkman (talk) 17:54, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Does that mean If there are no reliable sources in open internet, the article will be declined and deleted in the end? RasheedVolkman (talk) 17:55, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- @RasheedVolkman: sources don't have to be online, but they do have to meet the standard laid out in WP:GNG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:59, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Why is my page being deleted? ScratcherSonic (talk) 18:58, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- ScratcherSonic, because you failed to establish that the topic is notable as Wikipedia defines that term. Cullen328 (talk) 20:01, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

19:23, 21 February 2024 review of submission by Bdschi
I have created a new page for the new University of Technology in Nuremberg, Germany. There is already a German Wikipedia page and I think it is also important to have an English language page. Especially as the university is seeking internal students and offers many degrees in English. How can I improve this page to get it approved? Bdschi (talk) 19:23, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Please be advised that the German Wikipedia has different policies than the English Wikipedia, so what is acceptable there is not necessarily acceptable here. To be frank with you, Wikipedia has no interest in helping this relatively new university find prospective students.
- Your draft just summarizes the routine activities of the University (groundbreaking, opening, hiring of staff); an article about this university must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about this university, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. I think it is probably too soon for an article about this university here. 331dot (talk) 19:45, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your valuable feedback. I didn't want to create this page to help the university to find foreign students, but to give potential students a neutral source of information.
- I will follow your advice and wait and see whether this university will become a success or a failure. With only few students and even fewer departments, there is always the risk that the university gets closed again, despite all the money that was invested. Bdschi (talk) 20:03, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

- Deathinparadisefan11 (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi there! I would please like to know exactly why my article was declined. I know there could have possibly been improvements and I was eventually planning to add a picture so I was hoping someone else could help me with that when it gets resubmitted because I find it very confusing. I would like to know what else I needed to include or what I maybe did wrong in order for it to be approved as this article is very important to me and important for others. Deathinparadisefan11 (talk) 20:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Deathinparadisefan11: it was declined exactly for the reason given in the decline notice, namely that there is not sufficient evidence of the subject's notability, which is a fundamental requirement for inclusion in Wikipedia. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 20:18, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thankyou for your reply. Apologies, I think there has been a misunderstanding mainly from me. I do think Florence is important in the series (more important than some other characters) but there are characters such as DI Jack Mooney who have their own Wikipedia page already with lesser information than what I have put in Florence's article. She isn't famous not super important. But important enough to have it's own fictional character page if Jack Mooney. In addition, Mooney was only in for 3 series whereas Florence was in for well, double that. I think I have just made her seem more important than she is because she is one of my favourite characters. Please do publish this and I can add more references if you need more. Deathinparadisefan11 (talk) 15:08, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Most of the journals on wikipedia have an index and I tried to create an article page for this journal. At first, it was rejected due to lack of resources, but now we have upgraded it.

Why is it being rejected multiple times while other villages have been added by others in similar way tooo Pitambar Yadav(Google) (talk) 02:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- See WP:WAX. Basically, since in the past, Wikipedia has hosted articles which nowadays wouldn't fit with our guidelines, those shouldn't be used to try to make the case that another article should exist. Firstly, as stated in the draft, large portions of it are unsourced. Additionally, it reads like a promo for the village, which Wikipedia is not. Flux55 (my talk page) 02:18, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Pitambar Yadav(Google) If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those that are classified as good articles, which have been checked by the community and are examples of good work.
- What is the nature of the conflicts of interest you declared? Are you employed by Google? 331dot (talk) 08:58, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

The reason given for declining this article is "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." We have references here from the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, CNN, NPR, Forbes, and several others.
I'm not sure how much more reliable third-party sources we could get.
Sorry, am I missing something? I really have no idea how to make this better.
Thank you for your help. 92.186.12.128 (talk) 12:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- There is quite a lot of unreferenced information, eg. the 'Early Life and Education' and 'Personal Life' section have no citations at all.
- The reviewer is also saying that notability has not been demonstrated, and better sources are needed. For that, it's not enough that the sources are reliable, they need to fully meet the WP:GNG standard. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:43, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
14:52, 22 February 2024 review of submission by MintSpiral
This article keeps getting rejected for "not meeting notability requirements", but the artist has 2 albums published with an established label and therefore should be eligible. I believe there are also sufficient reputable sources to back up claims, but I have just added some more (including sources like Sirus XM and Warner Music). Can someone please tell me know I can improve this page to get it approved? The vague feedback left by reviewers is not helping much. MintSpiral (talk) 14:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Dear
The page I have created is facing various issues. I wanted to use your experience and solve these problems so that I can create a page for one of the emerging artists of Iranian cinema who has achieved many national and international successes.

- His work has been referenced in reliable sources and news sites, both in Persian sources and in international sources, he has won short and documentary film awards in several international festivals and has been a judge in several international film festivals.
- Links to movies and news are also given.

21:28, 22 February 2024 review of submission by 12DionneJ
Draft:Toyota G Transmission, Draft:Toyota TX-Series Transmission Draft:Toyota H-Series Transmission These 4 articles have been created by me to add context and more information to the Transmissions listed in the article "List of Toyota transmissions".
They have been repeatedly denied approval based on the source not being "reliable" when I have noted the source as the Toyota, the company that created these transmissions and from where I have acquired the noted info as such.
They have also been declined for not meeting "notability" standards. I believe the articles fall under the rules pertaining to the "Notability guidelines do not apply to content within articles or lists" and the "Manual of Styles/Lists:Purposes of Lists" guidelines.
I'm simply building off of an existing list that has been compiled for the Toyota community over the past two decades.
Please approve these articles. Thank You 12DionneJ (talk) 21:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- 12DionneJ The template can only accommodate one draft title at a time, I've fixed this. 331dot (talk) 22:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources say about a topic. Wikipedia is not interested in what Toyota says about its own products. This information may be better suited on alternative outlets. 331dot (talk) 22:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's not a Toyota commentary on their own products. I believe you're misinterpreting the articles and why they exist. They are informational and are encyclopedic in nature. 12DionneJ (talk) 22:27, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't say it was commentary. Toyota is a primary source for information on its own products; Wikipedia summarizes secondary sources. Wikipedia is not a mere database of information. 331dot (talk) 22:30, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- It has been for the previous two decades this info has been compiled. What harm is the doing by staying on the site? Zero. 12DionneJ (talk) 22:37, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Also, none of those alternative outlets are able to structure the info provided in an affective and easily digestible manner compared to Wikipedia. 12DionneJ (talk) 22:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- WP:NOHARM is a poor argument that would mean nothing could be removed from Wikipedia.
- I'm sure there is some website somewhere on this planet that can host this information, or you could create your own.(perhaps start a Fandom wiki) Perhaps you could contact Toyota and ask if you could use their website. 331dot (talk) 22:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

- @12DionneJ: says who? If you wish to wikilawyer this through, you need to clearly cite specific policy grounds.
- According to my interpretation, this is not a list-type article; it is an article (draft) on a product line, which includes, and the draft therefore necessarily covers, a number of individual products. Normal notability requirements would still apply. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:56, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

- Anyway, you now have autoconfirmed status, so you can technically publish these drafts yourself. I wouldn't recommend it, as they've been declined for a reason, and new page patrol is unlikely to let them remain published for long.

Why is this draft rejected? Armansalmani (talk) 14:23, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Armansalmani: because the first attempt was reviewed multiple times, and finally rejected as non-notable. There is no point in then creating additional copies of the same, especially to do so without offering any further evidence of notability. We can't keep reviewing the same subject over and over. This is fast becoming tendentious. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:29, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

22:23, 23 February 2024 review of submission by Stefo89
Hi everyone, I'd like some help to understand how this article draft can be improved. What are some examples of concrete changes that can be applied? The user who reviewed the draft wrote that the style looks like a press release rather than an article–probably due to my attempt to maintain neutrality. Also, the references cited are web articles on Google with sources such as TechCrunch that I see mentioned in many other Wikipedia articles about companies, too. Thank you in advance for your feedback. Stefo89 (talk) 22:23, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Stefo89: the concrete changes you need to make must directly address the decline reason, namely lack of evidence of notability. And if the reviewer has additionally commented on promotional tone and/or content, that needs to be addressed as well. These reviews are not done flippantly, the reviewers have real reasons to say what they say. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:35, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

- It seems the article is missing inline citations. Youprayteas (t • c) 07:43, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- You appear to have written your draft BACKWARDS. You almost certainly need to throw it away and start again. Remember that Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

The reviewer asked for more references without specifying what facts are needing that. The original (Italian) version has only those references and already has been accepted. Gosatin2 (talk) 05:28, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Gosatin2: the Italian Wikipedia is a completely separate project from us; what is acceptable there, may not be acceptable here, and vice versa. Content submitted to the English-language Wikipedia must meet our requirements. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- The first reference is to an interview. The second is a technical spec, which undoubtedly comes from the company. The fourth is evidently a press release (why is it tagged as being in Lithuanian?) Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them.

If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.
- So the only source which even might contribute to establishing notability is the third - but it needs analysis to determine how far it is merely repeating what Honda say. In any case, one independent source is not enough. ColinFine (talk) 20:36, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

- It looks like it was rejected by 3 established editors for lacking in sourcing and presentation. I also review AFC and we are allowed to do that because we have an established and clear record of understanding what an article needs to pass muster. This would appear to be a consensus if we take those responses collectively which I don't think would change. If it was going to change one of the reviewers would have likely approved it.

- You are mistaken, I am absolutely allowed to ask if you are David Windsor - or more generally if you have a conflict of interest. So I ask again: are you David Windsor or do you have a conflict of interest in this article?
- The draft does not prove notability under WP:NPEOPLE. Let's go through your sources to understand why:
- The Independent: an interview so cannot be used to establish notability.
- Variety: A brief mention and so does not provide WP:SIGCOV to establish notability.
- emmys.com: an interview so cannot be used to establish notability.
- Variety: A brief mention and so does not provide WP:SIGCOV to establish notability.
- Then in the external links:
- IMDB: Not permitted to use as a source under WP:IMDB.

- I'm afraid that. like most people who come here and try to create a new article before they have learnt any of the craft of writing Wikipedia articles, you are having a frustrating and disappointing time. Would you try and build a house when you have just started learning to be a builder? Or book a public concert the day after you first picked up a guitar?
- In addition, one of the Wikipedia policies that you have not found out about it the one very strongly advises against writing about yourself.

Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources. This means that to write about yourself successfully in Wikipedia, you will need (after finding the independent published sources that are essential), to forget everything you know about yourself, and write only what they say about you.

How to edit and save a draft without publishing Spongy mysophyll productions (talk) 11:34, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Spongy mysophyll productions: that's not possible (other than by working locally on your device using a text editor of some sort), because anything you save within Wikipedia, including in the User: and Draft: name spaces, becomes by definition publicly available. That's why "saving" a draft is referred to as "publishing"; it doesn't mean publishing into the main encyclopaedia, it just means creating a publicly-available draft. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:38, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

- @PlaneCrashKing1264, click the word 'notability' in DoubleGrazing's reply and you'll be taken to the page on notability - you'll find our definition and how to work out whether something will be seen as notable there.
- If you have a look at the reviewer's notes (in the big box at the top of your draft) there are some links there as well that will show you what you need to know about writing an article. You might also be interested in clicking this link: Your First Article - some of the information you'll already have seen, but it's a good place to start for a thorough overview.

I was trying to use taxobox for a draft article on the genus Zygopauropus, and I seem to have messed up the template for this genus (I think I deleted some necessary code) and don't know how to fix the problem. HCUPa (talk) 15:52, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

- @BDcelebwiki, if you have used all the reliable sources available, then it might simply be too soon for this article to exist. Often it takes time for people to become well-known and be written about in reliable sources. Until then, you just have to wait - you can keep improving the draft while you wait, of course, or you can try doing some little edits and getting to know how Wikipedia works. Once your subject has become notable by Wikipedia standards, you can submit a draft article about them again. StartGrammarTime (talk) 06:14, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

My draft continues to receive frequent rejections by reviewers despite my improvement on the references. To some extent, reasons given by these reviewers are contrary among themselves yet I continue to provide explanations on why their reviews were unfair and not thorough enough. Please I seek assistance on the draft above and why it should be accepted, given several reliable, third-party and independent sources that significantly support the subject. Part of Wikipedia's criterion says that a subject's notability does not necessarily need to be main topic of discussion but adequate treatment of the subject. This I have achieved. Nwachinazo1 (talk) 21:41, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- The draft was rightfully declined and then instead of asking for assistance you then proceeded to continually just submit without any improvement not once but twice. This does nothing but waste more time and lead to rejections like this. I have reviewed the sources and they all seem to be quotes of the subject, mere mentions of the subject or press releases none which meet all of the criteria to satisfy WP:GNG. If you would like to review the links in the decline messages and work on the draft to actually improve it then you can reach out the the last reviewer and ask them to rescind the rejection.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Dan_Slepian PomPomLover96 (talk) 21:50, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- @PomPomLover96: in a word, no. We're happy to help answer questions about the AfC process, but the onus is entirely on the draft author to do the necessary research and editing. The way you should go about this is to find some sources which meet the relevant notability guideline, eg. WP:GNG, and summarise what they have said about the subject, citing each source against the information it has provided. If you cannot find sufficient sources to begin with, then you shouldn't even bother writing the draft, because it wouldn't be accepted without evidence of notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:34, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

- I don't know what "Sufficiency of Disclosure" means, or why it might be relevant to evaluating the notability of a draft. Which of your references are in-depth discussions of the case or its outcome by people wholly unconnected with the parties or the case? That is the only kind of source which is relevant.

The rejection issue was "not reliable sources". I was wondering while writing the article if citing the primary sources for app store links was incorrect. However, it has sources from large publications as theverge.com. I'm a bit unsure if they are not considered "reliable", but based on the article linked it was a secondary source reviewing the original article. Would it help if I removed the primary source app store links from the sources list, and only used them in the external links section? Any help appreciated. I'm trying to get into Wikipedia editing.

The decision that this figure is not notable, is entirely subjective and by virtue of the fact that this designer works in the public sphere at an International and domestic level on projects of significant public and private significance is pedantically short-sighted and completely inconsistent with the existence of other Australian figures in this industry who currently have live wikipedia articles. These call on far inferior references and are outdated or not even correctly attributed. (see links at the base of this entry to two examples).
How is it that the importance of the 20 year career of an award-winning, author, internationally published and actively working Australian designer isn't deemed notable? The superficial and subjective nature of this review by user Xegma - a self-professed resident of Kolkata, India, whose special interests are Indian television - demonstrates little understanding of the place this individual holds in this industry - locally or abroad. How is this not peer reviewed, in the context of other articles that have been approved for Wikipedia. It makes very little sense.

- Designedits I fixed your link, the "Draft:" needs to be included. We don't need the whole url when linking to an article or page on Wikipedia, just place the title in double brackets, as I've done here.
- That other articles exist does not necessarily mean that they were "approved" by anyone. These other articles could themselves be problematic and you would be unaware of this. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to get by us. See other stuff exists. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those that are classified as good articles. 331dot (talk) 00:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- You are arguing based on a misunderstanding of WP:Notability. The most viable route of the the two possibilities is to meet WP:GNG which means to argue that there is in depth coverage of him in independent WP:RS's. BTW IMO this criteria has been met in the sources provided in the article. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 02:55, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Requesting a review of the cuisine section to make it more encyclopedic. Added references to section and rephrased part of the section otherwise. Rafaelquint99 (talk) 02:56, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
