Your reasons for declining this page seem to be following their own logic. I have been told in the commons that this should be accepted as it was (let alone with the new edits). It meets the guidelines Wikipedia names for notability (secondary coverage in major media, academic accolades). Whether you personally think it counts as being notable is something else, but that seems to be what you are running on. AxelRR (talk) 13:25, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

I received notification stating that my newly created page is advertorial and you requested for speedy deletion. I am new to Wikipedia and may I know what is the problem of the article? When I read through pages of other charity organization, for eg: beyondblue in Australia, I didn't find any differences in the editorial style. May I know how to rectify my problem?

Hi.excuse me I'm new here and I just was trying to make a page for my friend Arsha Aghdasi, he is a famous Stuntman in Iran. And he doesn't have only one award, there is three, I was about to improve the page and I still have about 40 links of his video and interviews. I can't understand why you delete the page? What was wrong with that?because he is a big deal! Please let me know how should I make this page. Thank you.Setareh Malek (talk) 03:34, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
You mentioned that the above mentioned article will be deleted within a week because it didnot have any credible reference apart from Hindustan Times. I have added new more credible references (Economic Times, Times of India, Business Today and Indian Express); even external links have been added for the same (other wikipedia articles). Do let me know if any further enhancement needs to be done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aditya.mishra.ace (talk • contribs) 06:30, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Redirect Cis-Kuen Lun Tract to Trans-Karakoram Tract
The Cis-Kuen Lun Tract is the same as the Trans-Karakoram Tract which I have edited extensively! You wanted sources. The Times Atlas link which shows the depiction of the northern border of Kashmir is the source! The map displays an enclosed area in northern Kashmir with the caption "Undefined Frontier area". The area encompassing the caption "Undefined Frontier area" is the Cis-Kuen Lun Tract. It is the same thing as the Trans-Karakoram Tract. The only difference is that the while the Trans-Karakoram Tract extends from the Karakoram Range northwards to the Kuen Lun Range, the Cis-Kuen Lun Tract extends from the Kuen Lun Range southwards towards the Karakoram range in central Kashmir. View the Times Atlas map of 1954 which depicts the northern border of Kashmir on the watershed of the Kuen Lun Range on the Taghdumbash Pamir, Mariom Pamir, and the Raskam range or ridge and depicts the caption "Undefined Frontier area" below it extending towards the Karakoram range and the Chhogori Peak K2 but not actually touching K2 as even the Times Atlas did not consider the K2 peak to be disputed. Nor did the Times Atlas consider the Shaksgam Valley disputed for that matter as can be seen in the 1954 map published by the Times Atlas.I am adding this because there is a concerted effort to restrict the Trans-Karakoram Tract to the Shaksgam Valley which is clearly erroneous and not borne out by records!Even the official map published by the The Government of Pakistan depicting the alignment of the northern Border of Kashmir in 1962, depicted much of the Cis-Kuen Lun Tract as part of Kashmir and the alignment published by the Government of Pakistan predominantly was similar to and coincided with the portrayal of the northern Border of Kashmir in 1954 by the Times Atlas which had predominantly depicted the Cis-Kuen Lun Tract as a part of Kashmir under the caption "Undefined Frontier area" though at places, the official position of the Government of
Pakistan deviated from the position of the Times Atlas and the Government of Pakistan even depicted areas as part of Kashmir which were to the north of the border of Kashmir as published in 1954 by the Times Atlas! Also for an idea of the extent of the Trans-Karakoram Tract or the Cis-Kuen Lun Tract, please view this map (C) from the Joe Schwartzberg's Historical Atlas of South Asia at DSAL in Chicagowith the caption, "The boundary of Kashmir with China as portrayed and proposed by Britain prior to 1947". The geographical and territorial extent of the Trans-Karakoram Tract or the Trans-Kuen Lun Tract is more or less the territory enclosed between the northern most line and the innermost lines! Also if one were to look for sources or references for the Trans-Karakoram Tract on the internet, the only references would be the articles on Wikipedia and no other. So there!
- Hence I request you to redirect Cis-Kuen Lun Tract to Trans-Karakoram Tract and then there will be no need for a separate article titled Cis-Kuen Lun Tract. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.51.31.23 (talk) 07:45, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
10:30:49, 10 May 2016 review of submission by Nairji
Hello David,
Thank you again for your review and the feedback. Appreciate it.
With complete regard and due respect to your judgement I would like to put my argument forward to reconsider the declination because the citations and links provided are from some of the leading publications in India. And moreover the links / references submitted are not "passing comments" about the subject, most of them are dedicated interviews given by her in main-line media (print as well as television) and these television channels are in top 10 channels based on the popularity as well as the viewership when it comes to entertainment segment in India.
Requesting you to re-look at it, the references and links have been kept very specific and the selected sources are notable from a geo-specific popularity viewpoint.
Looking forward to a response from your side.
Thanks and best regards, Nairji (talk) 10:30, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Reviewing Anthony Jakobs you spend less than 60 seconds and chose to tag it with {{notability}} using Page Curation in Previous revision of Anthony Jakobs. To me the article with sentences like
reeks of 14-year old writing his WP:AB, and I can't find a single thing that, to me, sounds like a credible claim of significance. Which do you find is a CCS?
Another thing I would have done prior to tagging with {{db-person}} would have been to remove
Hi, I got a tag from you for a reference improvement for the article on the Sydney Glaciarium. Before removing the tag you applied I thought I'd point out that absolutely every section of content on that article is in fact referenced and also every reference is from a major national newspaper. Newspaper articles from the time period, citing an event that took place in that time period, are about as credible a source and high quality a source that you can get ... I completely disagree that the credibility of the references need to be improved and do beg you to acknowledge national newspaper articles from the given time period as being one of the most credible references possible. I purposely try to not use reflective articles, written about an event years after the fact. I am happy to discuss this further with you if you still do not agree that articles written for national newspapers by first hand witnesses to the event, at the time the event occurred, are a credible reference.
How I would improve this article on the historic Sydney Glaciarium is not credibility of the references, but the quantity of information on the article itself. Something I am in the process of doing and in the very spirit of the wiki - hope others do too. Orion 2012 (talk) 12:42, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

00:46:37, 11 May 2016 review of submission by Lx3h
Dear SwisterTwister, thanks for your second rejection and 3rd from Wiki's editor team as it allows me to provide even more references from international coverages of Charged Hong Kong despite the fact that it is a year old. There are now 56 references and they are either critically important to the development of the officially registered charity in Hong Kong or simply highly notable such as Forbes, Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, BBC, International Business Times, etc. Just to name a few. I have also written the article according to the Wikipedia's "guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_answer_to_life,_the_universe,_and_everything, which states that "Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic." As far as anyone can tell, age of the organisation as the reason you have repeatedly rejected my article on, in this case on Charged Hong Kong as a registered charity doing good things to the world advocating clean air through electric vehicle adaptation, does not appear in any sense as a specific requirement and prerequisite by Wikipedia as a reason for rejection of article submission. What's more, using 'age' of a person, an organisation and particularly for a registered charity to judge its influence to the world is immature and unprofessional. Simply because by naming a minimum age requirement to be worthy of an article on Wikipedia, there will be thousands of counter-examples on Wikipedia.
Hello SwisterTwister. I'm a very new Wikipedia contributor. Not even beginning to be an editor. Earlier this month I added an article about Joseph McCormackMD. Today, I wanted to start an article about his son Arthur T McCormack but somehow instead of putting it in my sandbox, I put in somewhere for all the world to see. I'm just about finished with it, but in the meantime, I'd really like to understand what changes you made so I'll better know how to write in the future. Plus, I've got some questions about things that aren't working correctly and would love it if someone like you could help me through the sweet spots. Drvalsummers (talk) 01:42, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Rohan Ali and removed PROD
Hi, sorry about removing the prod. I didn't even notice I had. Probably an edit conflict as you said. The page author had taken Wgolf and me through a couple rounds of adding fake refs and removing a BLPprod so I was coming to the conclusion that AfD was for the best as it is harder to game (ie you can't kill it just by removing the tag). I'm glad the article is gone now anyhow. Happy Squirrel (talk) 15:09, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Aftab Group Issue
Hi,
ref: www.wikipedia.org/wiki/aftab_group
i made an article on Aftab Group of Bangladesh, where i had my internship few years back. And now have no relationship with them. (So no chance for any interest conflict)
However i found that the article has been nominated for deletion.
I know that my article is not very very informative for a big group of business like aftab group.
but i sense their presence should be on wiki.
Please do not delete my article at once rather help me out in retaining the same, as i am new as a writer on wiki..

Speedy deletion declined: AutoWed
Hello SwisterTwister. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of AutoWed, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is quite obviously ludicrous, and this kind of silly stuff is unworthy of an article in a serious encyclopedia, yeah?

Speedy deletion tagging of BoChamp
Hello SwisterTwister. You tagged "BoChamp" for speedy deletion, but you did not notify the article's creator that it had been so tagged. There is strong consensus that the creators of articles tagged for speedy deletion should be warned and that the person placing the tag has that responsibility. All of the major speedy deletion templates contain a pre-formatted warning for this purpose—just copy and paste to the creator's talk page. Thank you.Template:Z19.

Hello,
What other information do you think would be needed in this article? I looked at many different sources, peer reviewed articles, scientific journals - and I cited them all, so I am a little confused about the references. I developed this page as an independent study with my college advisor while taking a scuba diving course. Based on direct experience and what I learned from the research, I believe I created a thorough and complete page. I think it is an important concept and needs to have its own page, not exist within the larger page of just Scuba Diving.
Thank you,

I am removing your BLP tag and working on adding more notable sources. Thank you for your feedback. Any help would be appreciated. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 23:09, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Dev Randhawa article
Hi SwisterTwister,
You have reviewed my article for Dev Randhawa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dev_Randhawa) and (I presume this was you) marked it for speedy deletion. The reason given was:
"All still questionable for the needed solid independent notability at WP:GNG"
I looked at the link for WP:GNG and came to the conclusion that the articles sources are problematic? If this is so, do let me know and I'll make the necessary changes - if I have to provide new sources for you to review I'll happily do so.
Thanks,

Hey, I have followed the review history for this article and believe I have made the necessary changes. But rather than resubmit it, I thought I would ask you first. Daniel Darling is a significant contributor in the evangelical world whose position at the ERLC representing 16 million Southern Baptists qualifies him as someone "notable." Whoever made these recent edits clearly did not know what they were doing. Based on the edits I made, would you say I have acquired enough independent resources or should I still find my sources? Please advise! Thank you for your help making wikipedia a professional encyclopedia.

Hall Carbine Affair
Hello SwisterTwister,
Thanks for reviewing my article on The Hall Carbine Affair. You tagged it for notability while I was still in the midst of adding material. Could you take another look, and see if you think it might meed the notability criteria based on the information I provided?

22:56:10, 17 May 2016 review of submission by RV1348
Hello SwisterTwister,
This article has been declined several times for lack of sources. I provided multiple 3rd party, non local sources that confirm the vineyard's notability and it was declined.
North Carolina wine is a booming industry in the state that has recently attributed to it being also known as the East Coast's Wine Valley. Missouri and other smaller wine states have Wikipedia pages with substantially less credible and notable vineyard pages. The Raffaldini Vineyard is wildly popular, so much so that Obama brought a bottle of wine to the Italian President.
I understand Wikipedia's effort to keep the site credible, but it shouldn't be this difficult to get an article approved with valuable content. How can we work together to get this published?
Below are less notable vineyards and wine states with approved Wikipedia pages:

This Week Newspaper
Hello David, thank you for reviewing the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:This_Week_Newspaper submission and I'll go through the references one by one to try weeding out the sources that don't fit the the golden rule exactingly. Because the article deals with historic publishing events, my first inclination, rightly or wrongly, was to provide evidence of their existence using documents and images throughout the referencing process. Like the article on "The Independent" newspaper at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Independent, a number of the references used are not entirely independent (sic) in that the sources are The Independent itself and I would welcome your advice on this.

Hello, my friend. I'm probably missing something obvious, but has anyone just asked you to maybe work other areas besides reviewing? A lot of people seem to find that you are going too fast or making errors or something. How would you feel about working other areas while watching other reviewer's outcomes to be sure, when you return to it, that all your calls will be acceptable to the community? Starting articles is bags of fun. We could work together on some of that. Thoughts? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:07, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

In this case, other editors had already added tags yet you still prodded for not particularly clear reasons (your C-P prod justifications are not particularly helpful).

About delation of North African Arabs article
Hello Sir David
This article is created by some pan-arabists his name is alhaqiqa
This person vandalized many times the berbers article and also he commented on the articles for deletion to save his article so i deleted his comment
The North African Arabs article is created to abuse berbers and to distorting facts
In a section of this article "Berberisation and Berberised Arabs" they write Racism in North-Africa !!
There is an article "Arabs" so there is no need to create another article
I realy want your your opinion
This is his comment on the debate
"Keep Be Aware! This page is put up for deletion by a Berberist which has deleted many important information of many good pages on wikipedia about arabs. I already blocked AyOuBoXe of the page because he has deleted much reliable information without any sources or explanation. This is just a childish act of a North-African Berber which is playing games on Wikipedia and trying to remove the history of North-African Arabs. "

Thanks for reviewing my submission. I'll add reliable news sources as you suggest. As a first timer, perhaps you can advise on a couple of things: 1) do references have to be public or (for example) would analyst reports or conference material that require a subscription to access be acceptable? 2) there are a few other folks that are independent of the company that could contribute to the article. Is it OK for them to do so on this draft page, or is it better that one of them resubmit?

Signac, LLC: Request for assistance on AfC submission
- HusSchoMar (talk · contribs)
You said the page could not be posted because the company was "only founded this year thus it's not yet notable because it's too soon". Is this a rule that Wikipedia has? I can't find anything like that in the "notability guidelines", and it seems like an arbitrary decision. Signac is a joint venture by two separate billion-dollar, very notable companies, and is using software with a well-established track record. I made sure that my article had multiple citations from major, independent news sources that described the significance of Signac, which fulfills the all primary criteria for notability (depth of coverage; audience; independence of sources; and illegal conduct - the last of which does not apply). As detailed in the coverage from secondary sources, Signac is already making a substantial global impact by helping banking institutions to eliminate rogue trading and avoid other financial crises that have made major headlines and cost billions of dollars in recent years.
Thus it doesn't seem "too soon", and it meets all of Wikipedia's criteria for notability. It seems to me that waiting a year to post a Wikipedia page about this company would just make Wikipedia out of date for that time. I appreciate any suggestions you can give me to improve the article otherwise.

Valid ref. links to undelete 'Anandmurti Gurumaa' page
Dear SwisterTwister,
This is the reference to the wikipedia page of Anandmurti gurumaa" which has recently been deleted following the deletion debate at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Anandmurti_Gurumaa . I had requested to resume this page,in response to which I have been directed to contact you (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#anandmurti_gurumaa). I would like to bring to your kind notice that the reason mentioned in the debate is lack of independent resources and dead links, whereas lot of sources and independent links exist featuring work of Anandmurti gurumaa as a renowned Indian spiritual master. Moreover these reliable links belong to national newspapers like Times of India, DNA, The Hindu, India today, Amar Ujala etc.

Rockford Fosgate
Hi, I saw that you redirected the Rockford Fosgate page to Jim Fosgate back in 2015. You wrote "Nothing to suggest independent notability or better improvement and may be best moved to Jim's article". I want to rewrite the page focusing on the history of the company but wanted to get your buy-in first since you took down the page. If I send you a draft, will you review it?
Thanks, Ben 199.203.9.144 (talk) 06:55, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I just wanted to comment that I'd be willing to look at it, even if SwisterTwister does as well. –Compassionate727 (T·C) 22:04, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- 199.203.9.144 I meant to reply earlier but have not found the time to, you can certainly start a draft but I encourage you to start an account first to maintain consistency. Also, I suggest gathering enough information and sources to actually suggest its own notable article because, when I found encountered, there wasn't anything at all. Frankly I'm not confident there's actually enough for his own notable article because it seems he was best known for this. SwisterTwister talk 22:37, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

09:40:07, 8 June 2016 review of submission by Jackie Partarrieu
Hi there. I am confused. You say that I did not use enough reliable sources (I cited NCBI, Lancet, Oxford Journals, the World Health Organisation, EORTC, ESMO, etc). Not sure where I can find more reliable/quality sources. You also said that there is not enough "significant coverage". We are talking about RARE cancers. That is the whole point. They are rare. Not many people care about them because they are "rare". Labs don't think there is enough money in them to make them profitable and interesting. Not enough research is done on them. Patients, children (all paediatric cancers are rare) are dying because of this. I was hoping a wikipedia article could add a little stone to the building of creating awareness of this not so rare, unfortunately, unmet health need. Can you please help me by explaining what more I can say and how I can go about it? I have mined Google to find more information but I think I have added all the quality sources I could find. Many thanks in advance for your guidance. Jackie

- 67.9.151.198 (talk · contribs)
Hi SwisterTwister,
I respectfully disagree with your decision to decline this article and request a re-review. It has been built up by several authors independent of the subject over a long period of time. It meets the Golden Rule guidelines and the Guidelines for the Notability of Creative Professionals (filmmakers, etc.)
The Golden Rule: The subject indeed has significant coverage (multi-page editorials, not Q&A interviews) in reliable sources (NY Times, LA Times, LA Weekly, Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Filmmaker Magazine, IndieWire, the Museum of Modern Art, etc.) that are independent of the topic (of course, the periodicals previously mentioned aren't related to the subject of the article in any way).
Guidelines for the Notability of Creative Professionals:
1) The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
The subject has been covered as one of the top 100 new filmmakers in a book published by Phaidon Press that was curated by major film festival programmers from around the world. The subject has also been nominated for an IFP Gotham Award. Also, included in the sources are interviews with other filmmakers who cite the work of the subject as an influence and something wholly original.
2) The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.
See the above respond to #1. The filmmaker is known for the originality of his work.
3) The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
The subject created a work that was deemed significant by the NY Times, the Museum of Modern Art and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The work, "Loren Cass", has also been the one of the subjects of a book ("Take 100" published by Phaidon Press) and of multiple independent periodical articles and reviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.9.151.198 (talk) 02:26, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
4) The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.
The subject's feature film, "Loren Cass", is known for its originality (a), was featured in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC (b), has been named a NY Times Critic's Pick and received strong reviews in numerous mainstream publications (c), was nominated for an IFP Gotham Award (c), and is represented at the Museum of Modern Art along with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (d), linked below for verification.

Request on 17:17:06, 15 June 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Caerhys
Continuing the discussion at User_talk:SwisterTwister#This_Week_Newspaper, thanks, David, for your posting at User_talk:Caerhys, which has answered my first question as to where best to respond to your "Submission declined..." posting at Draft:This_Week_Newspaper. Please bear with me, I'm still finding my way.
References [1][1] and [30][2] have been added to the article to underpin the newspaper's notability in that the National Library of Wales holds a collection of the newspaper's editions and issues, which it continues to build, together with copies of the 1999/ 2000 Reader Survey. The newspaper itself was a reliable source of information throughout its seventeen year lifetime but I'm not sure if that counts. It also falls within the scope of WikiProject Wales to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to authoritative articles on Wales, and articles on Wales in Wikipedia.
I've run through all the other references and note many of them are there to provide evidence of the newspaper's existence and of events that led to its popularity and success before new media gained ground. This was particularly the case with campaigns conducted by the newspaper that resulted in significant outcomes. In reference [20][3] where a press release is used, this, together with reference [21][4], was to show how effective the newspaper had been in persuading visitors to abandon their cars and use public transport instead at their holiday destinations, to help reduce their carbon footprint in honeypot areas.
Additional amounts of in-depth, third-party news sources presents something of a challenge in that the newspaper itself was a primary news source by definition and apart from BBC TV's coverage of the official launch in 1989, reference [11][5], and their later coverage in 1990, reference [13][6], like the article on The Independent newspaper, a number of the references given are self-referencing and I would welcome your advice on this.

Deleted article restored
I am contacting you in connection with the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Two Sided Amphora 63.1515, in which you took part. I closed the discussion as "delete", but an editor has now contacted me, providing new sources. All but one of the sources are not available to me, so I cannot comment on their content, beyond the fact that they show that a larger number of scholarly works mention the amphora than was shown to be the case in the deletion discussion. However, I have obtained a copy of the other one of those sources, and I believe it significantly changes the situation from that which existed at the time of the AfD discussion. (It is available at http://www.jstor.org/stable/4171394 if you have JSTOR access.) Because I believe that this information significantly increases the amount of evidence of notability, I have recreated the article, but of course anyone who disagrees is free to take it back to AfD. I am informing everyone who took part in the discussion. The article is at Two-handled amphora (Boston 63.1515), having been moved from the original title given in the AfD page.

"Untold News" revision: please help.
Greetings.
You reviewed the original submission for "Untold News" and rejected it due to insignificant coverage about the subject and lack of media sources. I have subsequently revised the article, "Fleshed out the Untold News' mission, accomplishments and added many more media sources". You can see it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Untold_News&oldid=724518258
THE PROBLEM is that I am not certain it was uploaded properly, and whether it is in the Wikipedia system for revision and acceptance. There is a message on the site that I do not understand: Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
Please advise, and if possible review the revision and hopefully approve it for publication.

Ineligible speedy nomination
Per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Speedy deletion, “If a page has survived a prior deletion discussion, it must not be speedy deleted except for newly discovered copyright violations.” You nominated the page for G11, purely promotional, when it went through an AfD, which you probably didn't notice, last year: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SANS Institute. I know this is probably an edge case, but it never hurts to check the talk page to see if a previous AfD kept the page. As history shows, however, it could still use a good bit of maintenance, so you are formally invited to help add balancing content and tone down whatever you see as promotion.

14:11:18, 24 June 2016 review of submission by 2610:81:3001:8180:1E1:8862:E8C9:44C7
This is an entry to clarify information about the person behind a major political controversy which the entire South Korean nation knew and still knows about. It was in the headlines of major South Korean media for at least 5 days straight, and all of the news about this individual was the main topic of conversation among South Koreans for quite a long time. The topic has appeared on all major Korean shows and news outlets. Many Koreans still try to look up information about this individual because she recently reemerged into the spotlight via a series of interviews that she did about her work as an activist, writer, and an artist (the recent articles are also cited in the entry). The recent articles in question received thousands of likes on a major Korean news portal called "Daum" as well as other portals. Different articles that took from the original article also shared information about the individual through new articles that were created by different news outlets.
My reason for asking for this entry is that many people (both Korean and English-speakers) look up information about this individual because of the significant spotlight she has received starting from May 2014. You can even tell by typing in "candy koh" in a Google search bar, which tries to suggest that you complete the search by adding "law school" after the name.
Some people in forums have written false information about her. This wikipedia entry is necessary to correct any false information that has been spreading about her background, especially those that have been reported in the news already.

Dear SwisterTwister,
thank you for your message and for reviewing my article. I am a bit puzzled. My intention is not to create an article on someone who is not notable but, on the other hand, create a page (probably a stub) on a living person who is notable because of its inherited position in the House. I was inspired by several other articles of heir apparents (not head of Houses!) which I found on Wikipedia and, to be honest, have same notability. Check these pages, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Scott,_Earl_of_Dalkeith / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander,_Hereditary_Prince_of_Hohenzollern
I can add information on the page and I think it deserves to be published, at least as a stub. There are many stubs in Wikipedia with much less notability. I think it is more useful to have the page rather than not. Informing is our goal.
Thank you for your attention.

Declined G11 nominations
Hello SwisterTwister, I'm contacting you due to having to decline several of your G11 speedy deletion nominations. In two cases, there was a version of the article in history that was not spammy and could be reverted to, while in another case the article had already survived an AfD. Please take a bit more care and check for these things prior to nominating an article for deletion under G11, a nomination isn't appropriate in such cases.

Central Solar Reserve Bank of Accompong
Thank for reviewing the Central Solar Reserve Bank of Accompong. We are trying to engage Wikipedia to the best of our ability and welcome any feedback. The Central Solar Reserve Bank of Accompong is an already active state institution which is now beginning to introduce itself internationally and will be fully operative before the year's end. We kindly request that you do not delete this article. It shall be regularly updated as the state establishes its international presence and the bank becomes active particularly in Africa.
Hi. I've pinged you to the deletion debate but I thought I'd make a personal appeal for you to revisit the article and the evidence and hopefully alter your expressed opinion there. Best, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 20:57, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi David! I looked at your profile, and I thought you might be able to help me out with a little more feedback. I know ecological restoration and onsite wastewater treatment aren't the center of the universe, but actually Biohabitats is very well-known as specialists in the field, which is growing rapidly and an important part of 21st century city planning and post-industrial development. I think I had more in the original submission about the firm's notoriety, but I took it out when it got dinged for sounding like an advertisement. So, for example, when north korea realized they had serious land use and degradation issues, they flew Biohabitats staff in for a consultation. (The staff had to sign a complete waiver for all bodily harm for the US government!) Stuff like that. It's not a big field, but Biohabitats is right on top of it. I know straight corporate pages aren't appropriate for Wikipedia without the notoriety criteria, but I think it's hard to show notoriety without sounding like bragging on the firm. Do you have any advice?

Bud Pierce
Hi,
Curious as to see why this hasn't been approved, it seems every moderator has a different threshold for approval.
I understand that Pierce hasn't been elected to the office yet, but there are others such as his primary opponent, Allen Alley, that have a wiki page but haven't even made it this far in a governor's election. How much sourcing do I need to get to meet this alternative criteria for politicians "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article"."?
I am happy to put in every known newspaper article about the guy and his campaign, but it seems excessive to repeat the same points over and over again with new sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Black Dogg1169 (talk • contribs) 17:23, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Walter Noetico article
Dear David,
I am a collaborator of Richard F Morris, who had been working for the past month on the article about the Artist, Walter Noetico. I thank you for your time in reviewing the page of Maestro Noetico. Sadly, I think that on your part there has been a hasty judgment and decision in considering this Artist, because it is fair that I let you know that Maestro Noetico does not desire to sell his work, even to the most important museums in the world, but this does not necessarily make him a less important artist. Quite on the contrary, it makes him more deserving.
The reason for this is that Noetico wishes to donate all of the works in his possession (circa 250 artworks) to the American Nation, and for this reason he is already in contact with philanthropist David Rockefeller Jr.
Maestro Noetico despises the mercantile speculation that is done to art and artists, and it’s incomprehensible why a serious encyclopedia, like Wikipedia, requires that the artists “sell” and great museums “buy”, in order to insert the artists into Wikipedia.
It really seems a contradiction, considering that Wikipedia is against those who want to be added to it, in order to make promotional speculation.
I think (and you, David, who appreciates the wisdom, I hope you will share my thoughts) that Wikipedia should have some different rules, to assess the artists, standards that have always been considered primary in art history.
Until not long ago, an artist was considered to be of value only if he had the support of either a philosopher, a humanist scholar, an art historian or an art critic of high reputation/value. Only these writers could historically decide on an artist's aesthetic validity.
Now, it must be considered that Walter Noetico has had the support of even four major writers and art critics known internationally as: Alexandre Cirici, being the critic who has made great Picasso and Mirò, and perhaps he did not manage to make great also Noetico, simply because he died prematurely. And only having in hand his presentation is already a title of merit and credit (which Maestro Noetico has).
Then: Gillo Dorfles - another great critic respected all over the world (and still alive, at 106), then the writer and art critic Raffaele De Grada, who was for many years the curator of the Venice Biennale, which - as you know - is the biggest art event of the world. Then, also the philosopher Silvio Ceccato.
It should also be considered that no more than 30 years ago, it was sufficient to have only one of those mentioned art critics, in order to make an artist of value and consequently encyclopaedic.
I truly hope you will agree in thinking that the value of an artist is not measured by assessing his market quotations, but it is measured by assessing his aesthetic value and cultural message – it is those values that enriche the Human Race. The things that one buys and sells, only form part of a market, and a mercenary speculation. But the true, real Art belongs only to the Spiritual sphere.
For these motives, I humbly ask you to reconsider your decision about the artist Noetico, in order to honor the diffusion of Art and Culture.
Thank you kindly, David. Jeremy --Jermy Alterman (talk) 21:45, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Paul Soulellis
Hello and thank you for reviewing the new page Paul Soulellis and raising the important issue of notability.
Soulellis is a notable artist in the field of artist's books, and his medium is the printed page. The highest honor for book artists is to be collected by special artists' books collections at major museums and universities worldwide. Several such institutions collect the work of Soulellis.
Two edits have been made to the page to better demonstrate his notability.
First, a list of some of the institutions who collect his artists' books has been added. Please note that this list includes the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, one of the most significant museums in the world. Also added are Yale University and the Walker Art Center and several other important institutions.
Second, a list of art exhibitions that featured the work of Soulellis during the last three years has now been added to the article. This was originally left out to keep the article shorter but I believe it should now be added to demonstrate his notability. Please note that this list includes the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and the Gagosian Gallery, one of the most significant private commercial galleries in the world.
I hope these additions help demonstrate the notability of this artist.
Thank you,

Footballers
Hi SwisterTwister,
I'm going through the new pages feed, and I keep seeing articles about footballers that just say their name, position and club. They're theoretically notable as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Notability, but if there is no actual information on the page, isn't it correct to just redirect them to their club's page? Or is that a losing battle? --Slashme (talk) 18:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Slashme, with my years of experience at NPP, the footballers are in fact notable themselves if they have played for a notable league, yes. SwisterTwister talk 18:36, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

JD Busfield Article
Thank you for taking the time to review the article. Your rejection based on lack of notability because of a professional baseball player's minor league status appears to be contradicted by existing articles such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Boldt_(baseball). If you would like, I can compile a larger list of examples where professional baseball players are considered notable based on their minor league status alone. Please let me know. 108.71.78.101 (talk) 19:03, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
- 108.71.78.101 It was because it seems he was only selected for the Tampa Bay Rays Draft, and perhaps not for the actual permanent team especially because he's only playing for the minor team Hudson Valley Renegades (there's no notability from playing with the Renegades). SwisterTwister talk 19:19, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for responding. If you will review the existing article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Boldt_(baseball) you will see that Ryan Boldt is currently playing on the Hudson Valley Renegades and is in fact a teammate of JD Busfield. It does, therefore, appear that playing with the Renegades provides enough notability to allow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Boldt_(baseball) to be an accepted article. The same acceptance criteria should therefore be applied to the JD Busfield article. 108.71.78.101 (talk) 20:04, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
Additionally please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%E2%80%93Penn_League_rosters. The players with wikipedia links on this page all play at the same minor league level as the Renegades. Specifically under the Hudson Renegades you will find https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Ott and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrett_Whitley_(baseball) in addition to the Ryan Boldt article listed above. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%E2%80%93Penn_League_rosters article links to many, many players whose notability is purely based on their minor league status within a professional baseball organization. The JD Busfield article contains the same design and notability as these numerous examples. 108.71.78.101 (talk) 00:03, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

What's Up SwisterTwister
LunaTunes5 (talk) 04:46, 9 July 2016 (UTC) Hey SwisterTwister-
Thanks for reviewing my page for Craig Donohue. So, I based this page off the basis that Robert Greifeld, Duncan Niederauer Terrence Duffy and Tom Farley have Wikipedia pages-- Greifeld being the CEO of Nasdaq (an exchange with OCC), Niederuaer being the CEO of NYSE until 2014, Terrence Duffy as the Executive Chairman and President of CME Group and Tom Farley being President of NYSE (Board member of/exchange with OCC). Donohue was the CEO of CME Group and led the development and completion of CME's merger with the Chicago Board of Trade and the acquistion of the New York Mercantile Exchange and the Commodity Exchange Inc. Ah, this was huge for the financial industry! It resulted in over $20 billion in mergers and acquistions. Donohue is now the Executive Chairman of OCC, which was designated a Systemically Important Financial Market Utility and advocates on behalf of the listed options industry while ensuring that the obligations of the contracts it clears are fulfilled to essentially be the foundation for secure markets by acting as guarantor. CME and OCC are both SIFMUs, meaning their failure could threaten the US economy, so the heads of these SIFMUs should be easy to search on Google for more information (in my opinion).
Thanks, looking forward to your feedback.
Cheers, Luna

CS Afumati
It's not true, a football team gets professional when promoted to Liga III. Are a lot of teams from Liga II and Liga III that have pages on wikipedia and was not any problem ever, it's a football team, not a football player! The rule with at least one match at Liga I is for players!
Liga Profesionistă de Fotbal (Professional Football League) is a Romanian governing body that runs the Liga I, the top professional division of the Romanian football league system, and the Cupa Ligii, Romania's secondary club football tournament. But Liga II, III and Cupa Romaniei are organized by FRF, you can't tell me, or anyone that these are not professional, only because are all organized by FRF and not by their LPF's. For example, the winner of Cupa Romaniei is qualified for Europa League, so if this is not professional, how can the club participate in an UEFA competition? Liga II and Liga III clubs have also professional contracts with their players. When a club promoted from Liga IV to Liga III is affiliated to FRF, so, yes you can say that a Liga IV club is an amateur one, but not a Liga III and the less a Liga II one.
The Most Important
A football club it does not have to be professional to have a wikipedia page, are amateur clubs that have pages so I don't see why is a problem for a professional or a semi-professional club?
Ex: Whitehaven A.F.C., Blaenau Ffestiniog Amateur F.C., Ormond Amateur Football Club and these are fully amateur, CS Afumati is professional in my opinion, if you insist with the LPF thing, in the worst case I can say that is semi-professional. But I don't believe that, because all the FRF rules are made for a professional level.
Also Liga II have a governing body that is named LPF 2, but is not official.

Herve Claude article proposed deletion
Hi there,
I am a bit confused about your reason for deletion
"Still questionable for the authors notability considering WorldCat only lists 340 libraries, 25 of them is for 1 book widely held at libraries."
Does this refer to his novels, which are crime noir novels. Also he was the main news reader for the main French news TV show for 20 years. That should be notability by itself.

Walter Noetico, Artist
Dear David /SwisterTwister, I believe my colleague, Jeremy Alterman, wrote to you on 7 July. I have now added the reference to one of the works that are being in a Collection of Pala Graziussi Museum in Venice (what I had managed to find for now). In the 1980 book "Indimensional Art", there are references to certain number of works that have been sent back in the late 1970s, to Kunst Museum, Wallraf Richart Museum, Ermitage, Tate Gallery, Getty Collection, Museum of Modern Art in New York and Kuunz Collection in Vienna (all of which are very old archives and cannot be seen on the web, but details of which are mentioned in the penultimate pages of this book). I am not sure what else you wish me to do. As Jeremy Alterman said in his note to you of 7 July, Maestro Noetico since the 1970s, never wished to sell his work to any museum, but has always been mindful to leave all his artworks to American Nation, which he has already discussed with David Rockefeller Jr in correspondence with him. I shall submit again my draft, having also made some grammar improvements etc, and hope that you could exercise your discretion. Many thanks for your kind attention, David.

Wealth Beyond Wall Street Suggested Deletion
Hey User:SwisterTwister I added this business "Wealth Beyond Wall Street" because of two things really:
1. The search "Wealth Beyond Wall Street" (And other longer tail searches combined with Free book etc) are searched 1800-2000 times more or less in Google every month.
2. The reason it is searched so much is, because this business is all over the radio, tv and other media (Not so much online mostly they are very "physical" sending postcards even from what I have heard from different people) this is happening all over the country it seems and people are interested in learning more about this company because of the economic times we live in.
Hence the high search volume.
I added into wikipedia so there is a neutral place for people to get information on the company because from what I see most reviews and such that are out there are mostly affiliates of theirs and this would be the one place that could be truly independent. Hopefully it won't get deleted. Clifffonte (talk) 07:37, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Notability
Hi SwisterTwister,
Thank you for reviewing World Branding Forum. I can see where you are coming from and I will add more references. Another thing to note is that they are a news publisher with an Alexa rank of 76,723. If they are not notable, then SF Site (2 references, Alexa 368,615); Odyssey Magazine (2 references; Alexa 9,665,835); and The Flea (3 references, Alexa 24,456,546), will all have notability issues in terms of lack of references (and perhaps audience). I do understand if this is just a normal organisation, then more references are required. But as they are also a publishing house, do you agree that the references that are there are sufficient for now? Thank you for your feedback. — SMasters (talk) 09:04, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you have deleted the aforementioned article. You write, "Still nothing suggestive of its own notability." I'm quite confused about this whole procedure. Did the article receive an earlier warning that it has to improved or risk deletion? Why such hurry to delete it? It's not that a single from a notable music band is necessarily so hopelessly obscure that there's no way it has its place on Wikipedia. Tiv kurss (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:36, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @Tiv kurss: Most songs are not notable. A song needs significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to demonstrate notability.
Songs should only have an individual article when there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
{{R from song}} This version does not demonstrate that the song warrants an article. — JJMC89 (T·C) 16:33, 11 July 2016 (UTC)- Thanks for the explanation! Got it. I just wonder how many of, say, these songs do deserve their own articles. A quick examination shows that a fair share of these articles do not contain much information about their notability.

I really respect the reviewer's point of view! In most cases young companies risk closing down. However, I have seen plenty of companies, which are younger than ScholarshipOwl get featured. Case in point - GoodCall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoodCall. ScholarshipOwl had plenty of media mentions including ABC Televised interview and TechCrunch article. I would appreciate if you could please give a second look. Thanks!
Thoughts?
I PROD-tagged this article and it was de-prodded. Wondering if it is AfD material (see talk page discussion). I think this guy is non-notable and self-published, but he has some minor notoriety. I think AfD is appropriate, but I really don't have a lot of energy for yet more AfD drama, so thought I'd get your take first. Here's the article: Chuck Tingle.

Hey Swister! I was wondering if you could patrol my page Laurence Bowers? It's been a few weeks and probably got lost in the shuffle. Thanks and great work! You're the best patroller I know. JTtheOG (talk) 05:55, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
Positive Money
Hi, I noticed that you have flagged the Positive Money page as needing more citations. I am puzzled by this because it already has quite a few citations relative to the very short length of the article. Can you tell me which claims you feel need supporting? Reissgo (talk) 12:10, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
Nina Ridge
I declined the speedy on Nina Ridge. The 2006 article was a one-line stub. She might still be non-notable but I don't think G4 can stretch that far, especially after ten years. Best, Mackensen (talk) 12:46, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

query about a user
Hi. User Jerena.llantos is taking part in the nomination of article for deletion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Waseem_Tarar). This user has not contributed any thing so far. Even the article Waseem Tarar was created by such user whose contributions are only confined to this article. What do you say? Can user like this take part in the discussion? and What about me? can I take part in this discussion? someone deleted my comments too.Sneha Hurrain (talk) 06:22, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Mauro Pipani
Sorry, I made the page on Mauro Pipani because he is considered in Italy a great living artist. Among the other he is doing an exhibition in Rome (until 10 July) with Italian and foreign artists such as Warhol , Carlo Carra , Pistoletto , Mimmo Palladino etc .. [1]
If you want to read something about him on page 80 there is an article in English on his art [2]

Request on 13:59:52, 15 July 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Kfidler0823
- Kfidler0823 (talk · contribs)
Not necessarily requesting a re-review as none of the information has not changed, just trying to get some clarity on what criteria he doesn't meet in terms of the notability. I found dozens upon dozen of articles and radio interviews on Michael Drapac during my research, most of which were from major (and reliable) Australian and US newspapers. Many of the articles are solely about him and don't mention him as an "after-thought" or in a "trivial" way. All of the sources that were provided were secondary sources and written by people who have zero connection with him other than interviewing him for an article. He owns Australia's only Professional Cycling team and was just named co-owner of the Cannondale-Drapac Pro Cycling team, which is currently racing in the Tour de France (how I came to know about him and start researching him in the first place - huge Cannondale fan here).
Going through all of the General Notability Guidelines, I just don't see what criteria he doesn't meet. While I only provided 14 or so references (that's all I needed to build the article), there are dozens more articles about his company, cycling teams, and successes in investment/real estate and cycling.
Any further information you can provide to clarify why he doesn't meet the Notability Guidelines would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

22:21:31, 15 July 2016 review of submission by Ndinge
Greetings. From your comment after the review of the page you mentioned a lack of credible news sources for the reason why the article was rejected. I would like to know what you mean by credible news sources, because most of the sites from which my references were taken have been online delivering news and information for at least four years. And some wiki editors took down some of the references i put up while the article was pending review. So what do i need to do? add more references? and what kind of sources do you consider credible. i have looked at other articles here and the references are as good as mine. so please clarify me. thank you for your time Ndinge (talk) 22:21, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
Meredith Graves
Hi there, Innisfree987 here--I wanted to give you a head's up that I reverted your redirect on Meredith Graves. I've also made some substantial edits to expand on the notice she's received for the record label she founded and her solo project, among other things. I hope this adequately responds to your concern about whether she's known beyond the band. If not, please do drop me a line to discuss--I still definitely have not exhausted the available secondary sources, so perhaps others might better respond to your concern.

Oneilius
I received notice regarding the potential deletion of Lace International Ltd because "Searches found nothing at all to suggest anything or enough for independent notability for its own article; nothing else convincing". Previously, one of this company's subsidiaries, Lace Mamba Global, had an article which was deleted on grounds that it was written in an advertising style. The grounds for deleting the previous article were not that there was insufficient "notability for its own article". Please clarify what qualifies for such notability. Also, "nothing else convincing" means what exactly? I would like to comply with Wikipedia's standards, but this message is vague and doesn't explain what is needed of a qualifying article. Noting that "you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming, or merging the page, please edit this page and do so" merely indicates that editing might help. It does not specify what qualifies or is needed in terms of additions or edits.

Notability in Knight's Cross Holder articles
Hi, since you participated in an AfD discussion that involved this topic, I'm letting you know that I started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Notability in Knight's Cross Holder Articles -- to see if the issue can be dealt on a systemic basis, rather than one off AfDs.

Kyle T. Leighton
Respectfully, the subject Draft:Kyle T. Leighton (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) is a professor, author, and notable electrical industry leader as described by Siena Heights University, and the National Association of Electrical Distributors (the governing body of the electrical industry), among other sources. The subject designed an initiative about energy efficient lighting that was adopted by an entire U.S. State. He has also published at least 13 studies nationally and internationally about lighting applications in 7 different publications, and has widely distributed work independent of those pieces by other universities such as University of California, Davis about lighting laws and lighting education. Articles about his work and career have appeared in at least 8 other different reliable sources referenced in the article. He received an international award for a video that explained lighting technology. He received 2 additional awards from 2 notable institutions (1 university) about his research and commitment to lighting technology. All of these facts including the subject are about the same thing: lighting science. Criterion #7 for WP:Academic is described as a "person to have made a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity" and isn't defined as a single event. Other criterion of WP:Academic like #2 are in place for what you’re implying. All of the subject’s awards and facts count towards criterion 7 because criterion 7 is a criterion that has been met with totality, or in other words, “substantial”. While the interpretation of notability is broad, everyone should be able to agree that every notable impact or notable act could be recorded differently as each WP:Academic would likely be unique. It does not mean that the subject is not a notable lighting academic because someone may not be familiar with the subject or science. Evidence, and notable institutions clearly indicate that the subject is. GNG and WP:ANYBIO #2 also applies here. Looking forward to your response.Sciencegirl5858 (talk) 16:47, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
- Sciencegirl15858, let me help out here, as WP:PROF is sort of my specialty. I don't think that guideline applies to him at all. An adjunct professor is not a professor in the usual sense, he's a person teaching a course or two in a university part-time, either as a beginner, or, in this case, as someone from an outside profession or industry. In his linked bio , he is described not as a scientist or engineer, but as a professional public relations executive,"Lauded as one of the top PR professionals in the nationwide electrical industry, he has now represented 6 energy efficient commercial brands." He did not do the studies described in the article, he wrote the press releases and articles in trade magazines. His profile in tedmagazine says "Leighton has by-lined or ghost-written several articles for industry publications". Your article is carefully ambiguous about all this, and it would not have been clear if I had not actually read the references. Your statement here, is an attempt to disguise the facts of his career in the hopes of getting an article. In my opinion this is not good faith editing.
- Furthermore, your user history shows you have written nothing else, yet you are familiar with the details of our rules, familiar enough find a guideline which you can use inappropriately in an attempt to justify your article. I remind you or our policy about WP:Sockpuppettry. I also remind you of our guidelines on WP:Conflict of Interest, and our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure. DGG ( talk ) 21:27, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- DGG He did write the studies described in the article or he wouldn't have received credit for them. Each publication cites him as the original author. The phrase "by-lined or ghostwritten several articles for industry publications" means he also authors articles and doesn't get credit for them. We don't know what those articles are. You are definitely twisting this up. There are 13 total studies cited in the article that he originally authored hence his awards and recognition for them. I'd tell you to go back and look, but you quickly deleted it before making your ignorant point and insinuating that I am a "paid editor". Might I remind you of the WP:Academic, GNG, and WP:ANYBIO. The facts are the facts.66.65.68.32 (talk) 14:50, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi SwisterTwister. I'd like to touch base about the AfC draft I submitted a few weeks ago for Rembert Browne. Since you advised against resubmitting, I haven't done so; however, I have added 14 more secondary sources to the entry, as the press continues to take note of a wide variety of Browne's writing and appearances. Consequently I believe the entry would meet the consensus for notability at AfD (per AfC reviewing instructions)--and perhaps even more importantly, I believe it also meets the criteria for WP:WHYN, that we have a large, diverse selection of reliable sources necessary to ensure we're offering readers a balanced perspective on the subject.
Still I wanted to check with you before resubmitting because if you really believe it would only waste time for me to resubmit, I'll hold off: I don't want to create unconstructive work for anyone. I only ask because, even as I realize you and I might draw the line somewhat differently on borderline cases, it really is my impression this entry is one that the present community consensus would accept. Thanks in advance for your consideration and guidance. Innisfree987 (talk) 22:04, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
Recreated article about Jason Binn
In August last year you took the article Jason Binn to AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Binn. The article was duly deleted. Since then it has twice been re-created and re-deleted under CSD G4 (Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). Just over a month ago, the editor who had created the latest version posted to my talk page, objecting to the deletion, and expressing the wish to discuss it. It seems to me that the body of the article is substantially similar to the one discussed at AfD, but there are far more references, which is likely to be used as grounds for objecting to a G4 deletion. I therefore restored the article, but I am far from convinced that the new article answers the objections raised at AfD, so I am telling you in case you would like to take it to a second AfD.
Since I restored the article, the editor in question has made no attempt to initiate the discussion he said he wanted, and his only edit related to the article has been adding a photograph to it. In my opinion, the article does no more to show notability than the one discussed at AfD. It has been bombarded with large numbers of references to give the superficial impression that it is well sourced, as often happens with recreations of articles deleted for lack of evidence of notability, but most of the references do nothing or very little to indicate notability. I checked a more or less random sample of eight of the 28 references in the article. To give you an idea of the quality of the references, those eight were: one dead link; two pages not mentioning Jason Binn (one of them refers to a farm owned by "Moreton Binn", who apparently is Jason Binn's father, the other does not mention "Binn" at all); the personal page about Jason Binn on the web site of DuJour, of which he is the CEO; a page at www.etonline.com, where the only mention of Binn is a credit for a photograph on the page that he took; an announcement of launch of magazine, merely including Binn's name in a list of the owners of the magazine (and also the webstite where the announcement is made is "www.adweek.com", which may be an indication of how independent a source it is); a mere announcement of an appointment of Binn to a post; and a page about him on a website which claims to deal with "an increasingly complex marketplace" which "heightens the need for information and competitive intelligence", which to me reads very much like marketing speak for saying they provide PR.

I was hoping to get some additional feedback regarding the Wikipedia entry for Peter Johnson. The entry was denied due to a lack of notability. Mr. Johnson was notoriously press-shy, preferring that the focus remained on his clients. As such, there are not an overwhelming number of articles about him. However, Johnson did represent the #1 athlete in five different sports over the course of his career (football, men's tennis, women's tennis, women's golf and boxing). The Sports Business Journal, a leading source on sports business, named Mr. Johnson the most influential agent in all of sports in 2004. Of the other nineteen sports agents who finished below Mr. Johnson that year in the agent rankings, twelve of them have individual Wikipedia entries. Multiple agents who reported to Mr. Johnson during his time at IMG have Wikipedia entries, including Tom Condon, Pat Brisson, Casey Close and Jeff Schwartz.
It is my understand that when articles such as annual "Most Powerful in Sports" list were written, Mr. Johnson asked publications to highlight agents that worked for him instead and recused himself. Given these limitations, would you be able to provide some assistance as to how I can augment Peter Johnson's entry to meet Wikipedia's notability requirements?

Hello:
I am writing because you have blocked publication of a submission to Wikipedia. Please tell me how Wikipedia published, for example, the item https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Molly, which contains substantially less information, and substantially less citation, concerning a group of musical performers, than the article that I submitted. Thank you very much
Hello, I'm writing because as of today you put a tag on the article about Glenn S. Lipson saying the page should be deleted. He is the director at Alliant University for the forensic psychologist dept. I placed that under Notable Alumni for Alliant University as well as what he works on that they put out as Alliant Spotlights and wrote a whole summary of what he does and what he researches. I also connected under Alliant his listing as the department head and his interests and research. Each of the books listed that he contributed are text books. He writes a lot of chapters in text books that are used nationally in other universities. Any specific suggestions you can make as to showing all of this without using the PR release by Alliant University under their "spotlights" would be greatly appreciated.
I was about to begin helping with other waiting psychologists pages waiting for help that needed to be added to Wikipidia but obviously I need to learn more of what is required first. It was suggesting I not use links to his research papers because they weren't in text books and he did have chapters in multiple text books used today.
I' cross posting this on the talk page for my user page so I can get other help if you are busy this weekend.
Many thanks.

I can also replace the NY Times article with a much longer one I verified again today from the the Des Moines Register paid archives that listed almost all of Dr. Lipson testimony in the defense case of Stephen Blumberg, since that is a paid archive site of newspapers.com can I substitute that for the the othee NY Times artcle.

"Permanently collected by major art museums" is not the only means for accepting worthiness or notoriety. I would view that a contribution in one of the most prestigious fashion magazines, at least for a photographer, is also a veritable claim. Chris Floyd, another British photographer has indeed managed to get a page (well one line) in Wikipedia based it seems mainly on a contribution in the Guardian and an exhibition. His notoriety may just come from the photography of famous people but gives no concept of quality (his photos are actually not bad in my view but certainly not exceptional). I am not really sure that the criteria for a photographer´s entrance into Wikipedia is really associated with a permanent presence in a museum or similar.

Hi there - we exchanged messages earlier today - Sunday Australia time - about Pamela Schulz's entry. I've done some further research and found the following notability guideline for academics, on the Wikipedia:Notability (academics) page: "2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." As the recipient of an OAM - listed here on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Australia, Pamela Schulz has indeed been awarded an 'honour at national or international level'. I will revisit the page now to attempt to address your concern about 'advert-like' language, but otherwise, according to Wikipedia's own guidelines, it appears that Pamela Schulz is notable. I will resubmit for review shortly. Thank you for your feedback.

Hello, I am confused why having art in a major museum is a requirement for this article when there is no suggestion of the same for other artists. Under the following pages I see no mention of having works in permanent museum collections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sama_Raena_Alshaibi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_Kanan
Abdul Rahman Katanani's work has been displayed in major art exhibitions in countries around the world, and is frequently sold in Christie's art auctions. Why is this not enough to add to wikipedia?
- Musicwithoutlyrics See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, I can easily deleted those others myself, especially if they were unreviewed (at least yours is currently being reviewed). The permanent collections would've been the best shot at accepting, because a lot of artists can be exhibited, but only a certain number can be permanently collected thus notability.

It appears that what is already in Wikipedia is a lower standard than what is being required now. In most cases, the wikipedia information that is available for pianos is far inferior than what is shown for this piano company. I ask that another reviewer step in for the future. I believe bias is apparent here.
Thank you for your review and I wish you good luck on your future reviews.
And thank you for bringing someone in to help with the bias on the bias. From an academic (and I am one), Wikipedia is pure news. It is not a peer reviewer based academic media. Having knowledge on how to create documents and using subjective interpretation is not condoning the reviewer, it is condoning the product.
I wish you all well and thank you for your time on Wikipedia. It serves a purpose and I leave you to your work — Preceding unsigned comment added by HalletDavis (talk • contribs) 11:26, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Review of draft of "Johann König (art dealer)"
Hello TwisterSister. First of all, thank you very much for reviewing my draft about German art dealer Johann König. Unfortunately, you did not accept it. Of course, that is absolutely okay, for I am aware of how important it is to sustain the quality of Wikipedia. Also I considered this to be a possibility, for I am not yet quite experienced in creating new articles (I have only created one article before in the German Wikipedia). I really try to meet the standards of Wikipedia, so may I ask you what I can do to improve the article? You say that the references do not show adequately the subject's notability. König was repeatedly listed in ArtReview's Power 100 list, which lists the "most influential people in the contemporary artworld". Additionally, there has been a story about his gallery in New York Times Style Magazine and also several stories about him and interviews in influential art magazines. In 2011, he won FIAC's Prix Lafayette for "the best exhibition project presented by an emerging gallery". All this information is already part of the article. So I am wondering what else can I add to underpin König's importance? Or asked differently, why does all this not already verifies König's notability sufficiently? Indeed, with respect to an art dealer, I cannot imagine a better reference than being part of ArtReview's Power 100. There already exists a German article about König, but I haven't contributed to that one — would it be wise (or even strongly recommended) in this case to submit my draft as the English version of this German article? Thank you so much for your help and commitment!Bfait (talk) 10:42, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
Utz Claassen
I am surprised the draft was rejected. - he was the youngest Executive Vice President Finance of SEAT. - he was the CEO of Sartorius AG in Goettingen, Germany (has its own medium long wiki article), in addition, the company is an international acclaimed pharmaceutical and laboratory equipment supplier. - From 2003 to until 2007 he was CEO of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg, which has its own lengthy wikipedia article and is the third-largest utilities company in Germany - From December 2014 - June 2016, Claassen was President of RCD Mallorca, a highly popular spanish football club. - he's been honored as the "most innovative entrepreneur international 2016" by Günther Oettinger
Could you please specify what more is needed? Many thanks --Dosenbier1990 (talk) 10:32, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
- I would like to notify you that I implemented your feedback. I made some edits to show further notability. I added his membership in the supervisory board at AWD as well as his role as CEO of Solar Millennium and the fact that he accomplished the best high school grade point average in Germany. In addition, I found that the adidas CEO has his own wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Hainer and that notability was granted. The company makes 4 billion euro less revenue compared with EnBW where Utz Classen was CEO. Yet notability was not given to him. I find this inconsistent and hence decided to resubmit the draft after getting feedback from other admins as well --Dosenbier1990 (talk) 11:33, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello! This is my very first article and I am just learning. I picked someone who is referred to in two other Wikipedia articles, whose name comes up red saying there is no page on him yet. I researched and did an article which was rejected because he was not notable enough for inclusion, which I don't understand why since in the current articles his name is in red which seems to imply he would qualify. I deleted everything except the reference to the two Wikipedia articles. Will that work?

Hi SwisterTwister. Thank you for your review of Michael Leonard Hecht. I guess my question is simple: Hecht is considered the person perhaps most responsible for the New Orleans economy going from a laggard before Katrina, to "dead" in the aftermath, to now being one of the better-performing in the nation. Is this not notable enough for an article? If not, then I will not resubmit. If it is, but needs better referencing/validation, I can gladly work on that. Thanks so much, djelky

Aaron Chang Draft
Hello SwisterTwister,
Thank you for reviewing my article on Aaron Chang. As was mentioned in the references, he is already in an encyclopedia, so I'm not quite sure why a permanent museum exhibition is the sole defining factor for "notability". But to help add to his notability, I have added reference to a 3 month exhibit that Aaron Chang was featured in at the San Diego Natural History Museum, as well as reference to a famous magazine titled "A Day in the Life of America" that featured photos from "200 of the world's leading photojournalists". Aaron was featured alongside the following photographers that already have live wikipedia articles, but not necessarily active museum exhibits.
Ian Lloyd (photographer), Bill Pierce (photographer), Jean-Pierre Laffont, Peter Freed, George A. Tice, Larry C. Price, Graciela Iturbide, Sandra Eisert, Rich Clarkson.
I have a lot of the magazines that Aaron took the cover photo for, and can upload those as references as well if there is need for more references. Just wanted to see what was needed to get the page live before I went crazy uploading random magazines that might not be "notable" enough. He is also going to be featured in Forbes in an article that is supposed to be published in a couple weeks. Would that add enough notability as well?
Explorethatstore (talk) 18:54, 29 August 2016 (UTC) Explorethatstore
- Explorethestore. Let me help out by explaining here. The general requirement is for references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements. The references seem essentially press releases or mere notice of exhibitions, or unreliable laudatory comments. The specific requirement for visual artists is eiether work in major museums of substnatial critical discussions. Neither seem to bepresent here. In addition, the article would be rejected for being advertising. Thesort of X is a great artist quotations used here are appropriate for a promotional web pae, not an encyclopedia article.
- In addition, it seems very possible that you may have aconflict of interest--see our rules at WP:COI. And, if the connection is in any way financial, see also our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure . DGG ( talk ) 19:33, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi SwisterTwister,
I understand Wikipedia's notability guidelines but wanted to present the below argument on why our references should be considered significant, given that a competitor of ours, GolfNow, has been granted a Wikipedia page.
Within the golf industry, the biggest golf publication has under one million unique visitors a month. We've been covered and interviewed by major publications such as The Examiner (2.5 million unique visitors a month), Dujour Magazine (47K+ unique visitors a month), GolfNewsNet (55k+ unique visitors a month), ESPN Radio, CBS Radio, Golf Channel Sirius FM and Golf Channel (video). These are major hits within the golf industry, but they aren't going to be covered by the Huffington Post/Forbes, which I believe what Wikipedia is looking for. The Huffington Post also mostly covers the professional game and lacks golf technology coverage.
Lastly, I wanted to mention that a majority of the coverage that GolfNow received from major publications (Forbes/GolfWeek - no longer active/Business Insider) was about either their competition with a slight mention to GolfNow or acquisition by Comcast. They have no coverage other than that in major publications. Their Forbes piece was focused on EZLinks and had some mentions of GolfNow being a competitor.

Draft:The Suit (2016 film)
Thank you for reviewing my draft article. I have added the details that you requested. The film has shown at the festivals mentioned and has been written about in leading South African newspapers (e.g. The Sunday Times, the main Sunday newspaper in South Africa) and blogs. I was uncertain as to how you wanted the news to be presented so I put the external links in a separate section entitled "News". I'm very new to Wikipedia editing, so I would appreciate your help/guidance if I've displayed those links incorrectly. Also, I have found the film’s poster on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5713542/) but I do not know how to incorporate it in the article. Would you be able to do so and if you have time please explain how it is done so that I can learn? Thank you for the great work that you do. SiyanqobaSiyanqoba (talk) 21:58, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
ANI notice
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. North America1000 05:24, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hi ST, just wanted to touch base as I noticed the ANI. Sorry about all that, I know it's not fun. (Well! There may be some users who relish conflict but I don't have the impression you're one of them!) Anyway just wanted to say, I feel like you and I have had a pretty good working relationship (belated thanks for being the first person to welcome me to WP!) so if I can be of help figuring out what would resolve this to everyone's satisfaction, I'm down to try! I left a message to this effect at the ANI too, feel free to reply wherever if you want to (maybe ping me so I don't overlook)--or not if you don't want to, no obligation or expectation on my part that you should.

- Cool, I will do my best!
- So to me it's really clear your intentions for WP are only the best, and you do a ton of work helping process backlogs in a variety of areas--I really value that (which is saying something as you and I probably are on rather different ends of the deletionist/inclusionist spectrum!) What I think may be an underlying, substantive question (which only became an interpersonal problem because it came up a bunch, understandably frustrating all) is a difference in perspective in how much outside research into the sources is necessary before reviewing drafts, sending to AfD, etc.--I know some users (yours truly included sometimes!) wish reviewers would spend more time looking for sources, while others prioritize moving through submissions quickly, which I can also understand given severity of aforementioned backlogs among other reasons. Over at the ANI Kvng usefully points out there's real policy ambiguity on e.g. WP:BEFORE there that could do with sorting out, but until policy's clarified, is there a compromise that could work for everyone for now? I do realize looking for sources isn't fun for everyone--as an alternative way of avoiding this point of friction, would it be possible, say, to shift your focus slightly so that if something seems like a lot of source-reading would be required to evaluate (as certainly, not all sources confer notability), you just leave that aside for someone else to deal with, and focus on the (too-plentiful) instances where it's really unambiguous? Like focus on the Ellers of WP and leave the Hazeldines? Given the 13,000-page backlog at NPP (!!), it seems like even limiting your focus this way would still keep you extremely busy, and allow WP to continue to benefit for the significant energy you offer the project. What would you think of that idea? Tell me if you think I'm really overlooking some aspects of this, or have mis-assessed or whatever. Honestly my hope is just that various people who are volunteering to help Wikipedia can do so in the most constructive and stress-free ways. Luckily I do think a lot of the people involved really care most about the substantive questions, and if those could be navigated, the personal stuff would melt away too.

Regarding my submission for review for Maximilian Busser and your rejection due to lack of notability. I fully appreciate that as the founder and CEO of an award-winning watch company that Busser is likely to appear more notable to myself as a Swiss-based watch journalist than to you in Texas. But I have gone through the Wikipedia definition of notability at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability and it seems to suggest that articles from respected independent publications that concentrate on the subject are what Wikipedia is looking for. I have submitted references from
Wall Street Journal, The Telegraph newspaper from the UK, The New York Times, Forbes, The Robb Report and the South China Morning News all articles exclusively about Busser, not a quick mention. I would like clarification whether you are suggesting that these publications are not independent enough or if there is another issue I should be addressing
