Friday, 17/3/2017. Today you wrote on my Talk page that you had removed the template from the top of my new mainpage article William Nevin Tatlow Hurst. But I can still see the template. Sorry, but I don't understand the situation. Do I need to do something else? Thanks - I know you're busy. SurveyorMJF (talk) 05:47, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Sam Mangubat is a local internet celebrity who rose to fame in the Philippines by joining a local siging competition.

Thank you for reviewing my article on Russian child model Kristina Pimenova! Unfortunately, you rejected my submission because you said I did not adequately prove notability. I disagree for several reasons. She is a prominent model and actress who has starred in a full length feature film with a famous costar. She has also posed for many high profile fashion companies. She has 4 million Facebook followers and 1.8 million Instagram followers. Many people believe she is a supermodel, and likely to become even more famous soon. I addressed these points in the article, and included several reputable sources to verify this information. Also, she is already the subject of many other Wikipedia articles in other languages, including Russian and Spanish. I was surprised to find that she has not been the subject of an English language article as well. My article included a similar amount of detail as the Spanish article. I am happy to expand my article further if you believe it will be accepted in the future. Thank you!

Andrew Rothschild has invented the genre bluestronica. There is no published music that falls in this genre of bluestronica. Andrew Rothschild's music does not fit the blues, or electronica genre. Hence he has created a new genre. No artist has claimed their music to be apart of this genre. He has elements of both in his music. The sources are legitimate. This is not a scientific matter, he is an artist and his artwork has received notable attention.

I was researching this company for work and was surprised that they didn't have an article in wikipedia. I wanted to know who they were and what their basic business model was. I had to go to an external source to find this. I thought it would be useful to have this info in wikipedia. I don't work for them, I don't have a vested interest in their success or failure, I just found it annoying that this info wasn't available here, and wanted to fix that.

Thank you for your review of my draft. I have been through way too many drafts, re-writes, and deletions for this page. It has been shortened, condensed, and as many sources as are available have been cited. I have read all of the articles that have been linked. There are no other sources available on the internet, as it is a small company. There are no opinions reflected in the draft, only basic facts. I don't see how this can be changed any more. This latest draft is even a re-write from one of your moderators. Please advise.

Appreciate the comment regarding notability, however surely an amateur gym which produces a national finalist every five years; has a host of professional boxers at its platform and trained a world heavyweight contender is defined with some element of notability? References, both past and present, throughout the history of this establishment highlight its significance?
I'd very much appreciate your feedback as to how I can make this article more robust.

Hello SwisterTwister, I understand your point of view and the publishing rules on Wikipedia. Really, I do! The reason I decided to send the article in Wikipedia (even it doesn't respect the rules) is because Ezi Car Rental is become the first 100% Kiwi own rental company in New Zealand. New Zealand is a small country. References are not like in Europe (where I come from) or another big country in the World. With the current rules of publication only the big companies can be on Wikipedia. Is it really the most relevant point of view for an online encyclopedia? I could be wrong but I don't think so. It is not an argumentation for publishing the article about Ezi Car Rental. Your decision respect the rules. It is just my point of view about this. Now, I will wait until someone else decide that Ezi Car Rental is enough relevant to be on Wikipedia. Thank you for your time and for your participation to Wikipedia. Jeremy

The band "The Hot Place" fits your guideline as, "an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles." The founding member and guitarist of The Hot Place, Jeff Calder, is a notable musician who is also currently active in the band "The Swimming Pool Q's". The Swimming Pool Q's are a national band, and have been recognized in Rolling Stone magazine, their most recent album "1984-1986:The A&M Years" was a Rolling Stone "Reissue of the Year", picked by David Fricke, on page 32 of the December 19-Jan 2 2014 print magazine. The Swimming Pool Q's have had five national/international album releases, on the major labels A&M, Capitol, and Bar None. The singer and other founding member of The Hot Place, Lisa King has has been a member of notable band The Glenn Phillips band, who have released albums on Virgin and Sony Records. King also played keyboards with The Swimming Pool Q's from 2003-2006. The Hot Place features guest guitarist Richard Lloyd of the band "Television", another member of a prominent 1970's band, with historical releases on Elektra records. The Hot Place has been featured in print, in significant North American publications "Georgia Music Magazine", "Stomp and Stammer", and "Creative Loafing."

The Hot Place is directly connected to two major musical artists. One of its founding members is Jeff Calder of The Swimming Pool Q's, and guest artist Richard Lloyd of Television, who already have Wikipedia Pages. Could you please clarify how to substantiate that more? I did connect The Hot Place to The Swimming Pool Q's via internal Wikipedia linking. The sources cited, if read in detail, are more than just announcements, interviews, and mentions. They directly discuss how Jeff Calder of The Swimming Pool Q's and Richard Lloyd of Television are connected to and/or are members of the Atlanta band The Hot Place. Many of the album reviews and mentions of the band are in analog print media, though I have found several digital places where the band's members are verified and substantiated. Thank you for your help!
This article in particular substantiates The Hot Place's history and verifies the notable musicians who are members. http://www.clatl.com/music/article/13080910/new-wavers-instudio-chemistry-ignites-the-hot-place. I'm not sure how this is not a substantial source. If you could clarify, I would so appreciate it! Thank you!

Hi SwisterTwister! Thanks for taking the time to have a look at the changes to the article. Just a quick question for clarification (so that I can get the next edit right): Is the problem that there are not enough external references? A bit confused, as the first reviewer indicated that the article was copied, so I removed all direct references to this (even though they were quoted/cited), but not that there weren't enough notable articles. Please let me know what I need to do to improve the article and have it accepted. Thanks again!

Hi, I would respectfully appreciate a review. Melissa Del Pinto has been recognized as a Canadian artist by The National Gallery of Canada and her name was added to the “Government of Canada, Canadian Heritage Database of Canadian Artists”. I have added the link. In addition, to address the points used to refuse her submission, her paintings are in the collections of notable Canadian collectors. I added the name of Irwin and Claude Lande. Mr. Lande is a noted real-estate developer living in Westmount (Montreal).

I have worked on finding more sources for my citations. The first three reference citations, are from National, credible print and digital magazines, the state run publication "Georgia Music Magazine", and a newspaper which is owned by the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, "Creative Loafing." The References directly explain how The Hot Place contains two notable international musicians in its lineup, Jeff Calder of “The Swimming Pool Q's” and Richard Lloyd of “Television.” Especially notable is source #2, Georgia Music Magazine. This is a state-run print and digital publication. Source 1 and 3 are not merely announcements, they are also detailed articles which explain The Hot Place's debut, and the notable musicians that are involved in the historic project. I also added another source that I found this morning, “Arts Talk” on Blog Talk Radio, Episode #104 Lisa King. I have also looked at other Atlanta bands Wikipedia pages. Some of these are groups which are far less notable than The Hot Place, with no notable musicians involved, and cite less reliable sources. So, I'm curious as to why those articles were approved, and this one is being rejected. Please advise! My sources all verify the notable musicians involved in The Hot Place.
Added another cited source, from "The Recoup" magazine, by Joseph Kyle, in which Jeff Calder directly speaks about being a member and producer of The Hot Place band, with musician Lisa King. https://therecoup.com/2014/04/21/swimming-pool-qs-working-at-the-nut-factory/. The article quotes Jeff Calder of The Swimming Pool Q's, "We have about 2/3 of a new album mixed, and a few basic tracks standing by in the queue, waiting to be finished. I’ve co-produced them with Tim Delaney, a talented Atlanta musician and engineer we’ve worked with as far back as Royal Academy. It certainly helps that I’m friends with a number of great recording engineers, many of whom I was fortunate to be associated with at Atlanta’s legendary Southern Tracks studio, which I helped to manage for many years and where I was on the periphery of what seems like a hundred major rock albums produced by Brendan O’Brien.I like doing new things, having recently produced and played on an album by The Hot Place, Lisa King’s band based in Atlanta. It’s a pretty cool record that has a song called “Saturn Moved” on which Richard Lloyd of Television unleashes a wild solo."

I have resubmitted the article to incorporate all the changes suggested by yourself and other Wikipedia reviewers. I have made substantial changes throughout the document
to get rid of any extraneous or unnecessary language, with the effect of streamlining the article. The article now only contains direct and informative language with no self-promotional or journal-like language. I believe you will find the changes I have made to be much more in line with a Wikipedia article.

Obviously trying very hard to conform this to meet the criteria, but wanted to clarify what was meant by focusing on all additional major news, there is a video interview from CNN, but most of the stories tend to refer mostly back to the Chicago Facebook page that I mentioned as a primary source, which to me makes the additional sources a bit moot, but I am willing to do what is needed to get this thing done :) Any further guidance/advice you can offer would be extremely appricated...thanks for the fast review!
08:18:54, 24 January 2017 review of submission by Dignan00
Thank you for your time. Rene Moreno meets the notability requirements when you look at it from the angle that he is a very significant person with Down syndrome. That's key here. His documentary is commonplace in collegiate special education curriculums across the country, and has been for 17 years. Up Syndrome has been on Netflix, Hulu amongst many other major streaming outlets for many years. His movies have been the subject of reviews in major trades such as Daily Variety (which is referenced), and he has won a very prestigious award from the National Down Syndrome Congress of the USA (also referenced), which is one of the largest organizations to promote the awareness of Down syndrome that exists in the world today. I think when you look at this person with the correct angle you will understand that he is indeed notable and worthy of inclusion.

The amount of, the breadth and the character of the sources, as well as the notable award winners proof that the article is about a notable subject. So if this is not enough, please be specific about what should be improved.
07:03:34, 25 January 2017 review of submission by Robfarago
Thank you for your feedback. This is my first article. I have only ever made minor contributions to other article over the last 10 years or so. Before I wrote this article I read the pages that talk about notability and also needing independent credible sources from news/media publishers who have editors etc.. I believe the page I have drafted has merit based on the guidelines. The development of renewable energy in Australia has been significantly influenced by not for profit and grass roots groups such as Local Power. Not sure if you had a chance to read/view many of the references and if you did perhaps you are not familiar with the Australian media organisations in the references?
The TV coverage of this community initiative was made by the ABC TV network and the TEN TV network. The Australian ABC is a highly credible news organisation of journalistic integrity spanning radio, TV and online. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Broadcasting_Corporation The Australian TEN TV network is one of our 3 commercial news networks and comparable to perhaps NBC or CBS in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Ten Both of these TV broadcast news services thought this was a newsworthy community initiative which had not been done before. The youtube clips are recordings of the prime time TV news article which were broadcast to audiences of over 1 million people each.
Similarly the ATA is a very credible member based organisation and magazine publisher of ReNew magazine, which has been publishing since 1980 and is not up to it's 138th quarterly magazine https://www.ata.org.au/who/history They chose to write a feature article about the Local Power project because it was something new and novel.
Finally the City South News is a local community newspaper and part of the News Corporation stable of newspapers. While I am not a big fan or Rupert Murdoch (Fox News yuk!) he did get his starts running newspapers in Australia This chain of local papers are said to have 1 million readers weekly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_Community_Newspapers
I would humbly ask you to take a closer look at the references, taking into account the above information about independence, and please reconsider this rejection.
thank you.

18:06:50, 27 January 2017 review of submission by Carrie at The Fischer Group
Thanks for reviewing our article, I really appreciate it. I want to update the article so that it meets guidelines, but wanted to know which portion specifically doesn't conform to the guidelines so I can work with that. From what I can tell, the article if not very different from the following (in words / scope) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/I_Homes or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulteGroup.
Fischer is in the same group as those two homebuilders (and many others already included in Wikipedia) and being in the top 50 in the nation (something that M/I mentions in their article as well) I would think that content is noteworthy as well.
The remainder of the article just lists out the areas of business (where they do business) as well as a small amount of history (founder etc...) for the company (something I see the other Homebuilders do as well.)
If you could give me a little more feedback on what is different from my article and those above (as initial examples) I would appreciate it so I can make the needed changes.
Thanks! I look forward to your help / further comments on the differences.
16:22:53, 29 January 2017 review of submission by Carrie at The Fischer Group
Ok, that makes sense. So what updates do I need to make to it for it to meet the new company guidelines? I don't see any specifics on that which we have not already covered here? I'm specifically looking for "doing this would make it meet the new guidelines" kind of information.
I've re-read the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Companies/Guidelines and it appears from what I can see there that the article, in its current state covers the areas mentioned.
Again, as far as companies go, and looking at the other homebuilders (as well as other companies) in the space, Fischer is certainly in line with those which are included. (They have been in the top 50 home builders for many years now, they operate in multiple states nationwide, they have plenty of press on them, they are are one of the big builders for the St. Jude's dream home giveaway (which benefits less fortunate people), and the list goes on.
When you get time, let me know what I can do in the way of edits to help get this article revised and into the article space. I appreciate the info so far. It is helpful.
Thanks.
14:27:34, 30 January 2017 review of submission by Chadyrm
Hello, first, thanks for taking time to being a Wikipedia curator.
There are 6 main sources cited, that are serious sources (in the Middle-East, and Lebanon). Text publications are rarely digitized, but I could recollect printed articles (Can/should we add them as references and provide scanned proof? What is the procedure for such cases).
The company had a social impact, which is why it is covered. As you might have now noticed, the digital ecosystem is nearly non-existent in this region, and having publicly accessible digital manufacturing service shop with industrial 3D printers in Lebanon is a big step. Not to mention the creation of new 3D printing materials! (2 materials) and several machines.
Additional projects may be appended: Rapidmanufactory has been invited to the St-Etienne Design Biennial this coming march to exhibit: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/theobsessivedrafter/ . This would generate articles by "more known" media entities. A published book about manufacturing (especially digital fabrication), was created by the founder; An article in "L'Orient Le Jour", talks about it: https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/1030988/guillaume-credoz-et-son-robot.html
Looking forward to your assistance in having this article published.
Thank you, Chady

Dear SwisterTwister, thank you for your review and suggestions for improvement. You are absolutely right, the viennacontemporary header needs to be deleted (done).
Regarding additional articles: I added an article from the NY Times from 2015: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/14/arts/international/vienna-looks-east-for-fine-art.html?_r=0
But otherwise, I would like to argue that the most important English references are already included in the article (I guess I can’t add German publications where we have a lot of press, in all the major newspapers). I have included: Forbes, Vogue, and important publications from the artworld: Wallpaper Magazine, Blouin Artinfo, Artsy, Sotheby’s blog, The Art Newspaper, artnet News, Flash Art, artforum.com, Widewalls, Cultured Mag.
Would that be fine for you?

Hi there,
many thanks for taking the time to review the page I created. I am new to Wikipedia so am finding my way through trial and error so would be grateful for any help to improve the chances of submission! I felt the subject worthy of an article, largely because of her role as ambassador for the Orange Tree theatre in London. The theatre is a theatre that produces new work of exceptional standard, most recently reviewed in Variety magazine Los Angeles, and acknowledged to be a forerunner in new writing. Heery was one of fourteen invited because they were considered to be 'leading figures in the Arts and beyond – who will champion the work of the Theatre.' She is also a member of the Davison/Tennant family who have a large fan base in the worldwide science fiction community, not only because of her work with Big Finish audio, but also because of her film work in the series The Tripods, and Life Force. Her son, David Tennant's step brother in law, Louis Davison, has just played Victor in Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children made by Fox films. As an ambassador for theatre she is able to reach a wide audience through her body of work, regular TV work spanning twenty five years, and professional relationships within the literary world. Is any of this helpful as regards an edit?
Best Hamhaugh.

Hi there, I wasn't quite sure what you meant by 'merged to the local community's article' - could you clarify?
I thought given the school's history and relationship to other wiki articles, that it would be a good candidate for a page of it's own - I don't understand why it's not notable just because it's not a secondary school. Would you mind elaborating?

I'm not sure how to ask, but you reviewed our page for the Hanna Boys Center last. I just found a reference to our non-profit in the United States COngressional Record at our 60th Anniversary in 2010. It's obviously old but maybe it can help as a non-local reference.
I am not sure what else I need to do here. I am happy to strip content out of my entry to get it to be non-advertising but I don't know what to remove.
This process is more than a little difficult.

You declined this article with the reasoning "this is simply what they would advertise to clients and it's unconvincing regardless of anything or anyone" however, it is not clear what is 'unconvincing', much less who is 'anything or anyone'. Please state coherent grounds for declining it, so that the problem can be fixed.
Also, you stated "examining the sources find they're only announcements and mentions". This did not reflect the facts at the time of the original submission, and even less so now. In the original submission, two reliable, independent sources were cited (namely Cleveland Encyclopedia and ASME), both showing that the subject of this article is both notable and worthy of inclusion. In the meantime, a second more detailed reference by ASME (which has a national audience) as well as a reference from Heartland Science (created by the Ohio Academy of Science) have been added. Both of these also discuss how the subject of this article is notable and worthy of inclusion.

22:38:53, 7 February 2017 review of submission by MichaelLeeStever
HI there Twisted Sister,
Many thanks for the re-review, this is Michael Stever, (filmmaker) I am NOT the person who created this initial draft, nor am I the one who has amended it the last couple times. There is no (Present) need for a re-review as my team has not had a change to make any changes/updates so clearly it's a mute point until then. I did have just a couple questions regarding the submission protocol and I've not been able to get a solid enough answer from the person doing this for me so am reaching out to you myself. I realize that you want more 'high profile' pieces added to to this draft, which I actually am in the process of providing. To date myself or my team have just not had the chance as we've been swamped with work, and other obligations.
In the meantime, if you don't mind me showing you the two pieces I'd planned on adding, it would be HUGELY helpful if you could give a heads up if you thought these two following write-ups could be helpful in pushing my listing through... Here are the two mentiones in two nationally circulated, high-profile publications. BOTH of the below write-ups are relatively new...
FEATURED MENTION IN 'ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY' http://ew.com/article/2016/09/14/fearnyc-new-york-horror-film-festival/
FEATURED WRITE-UP 'FANGORIA' magazine http://www.fangoria.com/new/winners-highlight-video-revealed-for-fearnyc-festival/
Finally, TwistedSister... if I may humbly ask, Why do the rejection notices constantly and repeatedly say that the submissions need to be ABOUT ME, not BY ME? Most of these links and such are to write-ups in noteworthy, legitimate online publications, so I (nor the person doing this for me) are clearly understanding the particulars of this important bullet point. Can you PLEASE expand on this, so I/we know? I have NEVER had the question adequately answered, and clearly we need to better understand so my team can fine tune the draft to a most acceptable level... Is it that I need to ensure ALL links to anythings tied to my own website, (MichaelStever.net) need to be fully omitted? Am also in the dark on what does, or does NOT constitute as worthy information from IMDB, as I see COUNTLESS other wiki pages that list/feature IMDB content.
ALSO, I'm worrying that this existing draft will somehow be deleted, or permenantly removed if it gets enough 'rejection' notices, so PLEASE is there any way to ensure it NOT get re-reviewed anymore until myself and my team have time regroup, and re-edit, it would be sincerely appreciated,
thank you for ANY clues you have TwistedSister..
My mom's also about to pass, so have to brace for that which leaves this pretty low on the priority list, but SO SINCERELY appreciate any help or input you could offer,
Sincerely,
Michael Stever

I translated, from the english to the spanish, and expanded the article about Rebecca Solnit. There is no spanish article about Rebecca Solnit in the Wikipedia. My article was rejected because "the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Rebecca Solnit instead". In english you have an article, which I did not edited, but in spanish there is nothing about the author. I am new in wikipedia and I do not know what to do, how is the correct procedure when you are translating an article from a language to another? Could you give me some information about the steps I need to follow right now?
Many thanks in advance.

I think we got it - I hope. I edited the subject's career section to introduce the connection with the subject's books. I also added hyperlinks within some of the sections and other small edits. I've studied the subject for a while, so I think it's important to keep the critical aspects of the career history as they led to the books. Without the career section, then the subject didn't have the expertise to write the books. Thank you.

I have read the Golden Rule and the requirements for significant comment from reliable sources but I do not understand what is missing to prove the notoriety of the one of the most controversial people in Alberta politics, the Mayor of Alberta's 14th largest city (Chestermere) Patricia Matthews: see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Patricia_Matthews_(politician)#cite_note-77 . Just today she was cleared of wrong doing in a year long Provincial investigation (see the last line AND the two cited independent media sources).
Is it that there are some references to 'smaller' sources like The Anchor (local newspaper) and if so should those references be removed? CBC, The Calgary Herald, The SUN, Global TV, 660 News and others are all very large scale media outlets that operate regionally or nationally with large well paid editorial staff. The article contains dozens of such references over controversies driven by Mayor Matthews and the "smaller' references help fill in the story so I would hate to remove them.
Your comments as to what is missing would be appreciated.

Hello! I am new to editing Wikipedia (I have always been a regular user of course!). Thank you very much for all that you've contributed to the project. I am surprised that Susto the band is not notable enough for a page. They have two albums, were recently featured on CBS News, have been reviewed by local newspapers and music websites, and are about to go on tour with the Lumineers. I have seen them play at at packed venues twice. It seems odd to me that they would not have a page at this point.
10:02:56, 20 February 2017 review of submission by Nicholas Croucher
Hey Swister. Thanks for reviewing my page. I'm just wondering if you can help with a little more advice. I've asked in the live chat for some more advice (as I'm new to this) and been advised that the main reason is our page sounding like and advertisement (as you've suggested as well that it seem like a business listing). I've done my best to avoid that by only stating facts etc. but if this isn't the case (and if you have a chance) would you be able to help me understand if there was a specific section that is still in the wrong tone?
I only ask as there are two pages for competitor businesses that are similar (with the CD Baby one in particular even referencing their prices etc.)
I understand it's not a case of "They have a page so you get one too", just wondering if there is something I'm missing that makes theirs okay and the RouteNote one require changes. Apologies if this sounds argumentative (it's genuinely not written that way, but tone is hard to convey in text!).
Also, just in case you see this message before I manage to fix my user page, I am about to attempt to declare that I work for RouteNote (in case it wasn't already clear).
Thanks again.

Hey Swister, Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions and help me with this article. I see what you mean regarding the sources being merely mentions within articles. Do you think it would help if I removed the majority of the sources with the exception of the West Briton one (which is a specific article about RouteNote) and maybe the PC Mag one (as that is a guide for other aspiring musicians on how to upload music, one where the reviewer happens to use RouteNote)?
Also, if this would help, can we still keep the references to the websites that have reviewed us without specifically using the sources? Again, really appreciate your help with this. It's my first article submission for Wiki and want to get it right!

Decline of Draft:Ewald Arenz
Dear Swister Twister, thanks for having a look at the new article about Ewald Arenz. I can see that there is a problem with German and Italian sources, but those are partly printed and online encyclopaedia articles, secondary literature on the person and partly reviews by German TV and Radio stations. Since his works are increasingly published in other languages an English wikipedia site seems reasonable. Besides, there are already two articles on Ewald Arenz in the German and Arab Wikipedia. I have already and will add some more references if necessary.

Hi
Thanks for taking the time to review this again, we'll get there eventually!
I understand what you say regarding the Custom Step sentence being too suggestive as an advertisement and have removed this sentence with the latest edit.
However, I'm not entirely clear on what you mean regarding your "starting company of the year" comment. El Camino Bracelets are not seeking funding or support, however, it'd be great to start with a basic Wikipedia page now, upon which can be added over time. The most similar company to El Camino Bracelets appears to be Pura Vida (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pura_Vida_Bracelets). If my latest edit does not pass, please could you give me a couple of pointers as to why the proposed El Camino Bracelets Wikipedia page would differ from their Wikipedia page, I am far from an expert in this area, however, when I compared the two, the basic principles appear to be very similar.
Thanks for your time,

Hi again.

Does that help? I would have thought if the source was verifiable like a government agency (i.e. IRS, FBI etc), that would supersede news publications. Is that not correct?

I'm just not really sure what more notable reviews or write ups you are looking for.

"We need all majorly published reviews" What does that mean? You need MORE of them, or you don't like the sources?

Hello [SwisterTwister]]
Many Thanks for your comments on my draft article proposal on RL360°. I have updated the page and removed most of the content but I have to say I am very confused as to how my page was rejected even though my sources were from credible publications such as the FT, Bloomberg, Independent and the New York Times. What's more puzzling is that I based my article on other pages that are on Wikipedia. I can't understand how pages with very little content, citations and notability are approved, and the one I created was not. The company I am writing about has a long history in Life Assurance / Insurance and origins from the biggest players in the business who even note the company in their on wiki pages.
Can you please check my new draft and if you are still not happy can you provide more details about which sections are not sufficient? Really apprreciate your guideance. Karin Jam(talk) 09:57 8 March 2017

I don't know how much more independent evidence of a person's notability you can have than the awards received, with citations and reference s to the awarding organization's websites, including the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and patents issued as independently verifiable on the USPTO website. Nevertheless, I've added further documentation with references to two published histories of the laser, from the National Academy Press and the Optical Society of America. If these are not independent evidence of notability, I must request a different reviewer.

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Our article follows closely the set up for another Advertising notable - Lee Garfinkel, who's wiki entry has 13 references vs 18 for Gary.
Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. The sources we have quoted are reliable and independent of Gary - they are The New York Times, AdWeek, The Wall Street Journal, among others. They fall in line with the references that Lee Garfinkel's entry uses, and are organizations of note, and the information they support is verifiable.
If there are questions about the content within the entry, please elaborate, and if you have any suggestions to make it more robust, I would love to hear them.

I've personally been through a couple of Fintech (& other (ie: Insurtech)) accelerators. These (& consulting companies (ie: PwC, KPMG, Accenture, Deloite Touche, etc.)) have referred to other such tech groups as retailTech, RegTech (Regulatory), PeerTech, and others.
My difficulty is in finding veritable references that specific expression... but it will emerge.
Please let me know if still "willing to accept" my explanation.
regards, Chris

Hello, the original decline feedback was warranted and I took it into account in this draft. I found more relevant and notable sources, as well as significantly restructured the article to primarily focus on the development/growth timelines rather than the offerings/structure.

Thank you for taking the time to review my article about Julian Treasure. It’s a shame that you feel the article is unacceptable, and I’d like to discover how I can address the issues that you’ve raised.
Notability
There is significant interest in Julian’s work (such as decreasing crime rates in cities). This is represented by features in the world’s press - publications such as TIME Magazine, The BBC, The Economist, The Guardian, CNN, The Daily Mail, Vogue and The New York Times. His work has even been written about in a dedicated article on the front page of The Wall Street Journal.
I cannot understand how the article has been rejected partly on the grounds that “Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject” given that these are some of the biggest publications in the world.
Julian is also a recognised public speaker and educator. He has trained thousands of people in-person all over the world about sound and communication, and an estimated 40 million people have watched his online videos. One of Julian’s TED talks is in the 10th most watched of all time, and he’s also one of only nine people who have five talks on TED.com - others are Bill Gates, Thomas Dolby and Hans Rosling.
Whilst I appreciate that success at TED alone may not warrant a Wikipedia page, it is a strong demonstration of the popularity of his teaching and the innovation of his ideas.
“PR advertising” It was not the intention that this article read as a PR piece. Perhaps this came about partly from the fact that Julian’s company is marketing based - it’s potentially hard to highlight the significant fact that a company has increased sales, however innovative the nature of the work, without sounding like a PR article.
Secondly, as this is my first attempt at writing a Wikipedia article, it was focussed solely on facts and figures and this may have led to a lack of narrative and relevance to the piece.
Most importantly, Julian’s mission that runs throughout all his work is to “make the world sound beautiful”, and I intend to focus on this in subsequent edits.
Suggestions
I hope that this message has explained how Julian and his work is notable. I therefore suggest the following:
- I will re-write the article with more focus on narrative and relevance (see above) to tie everything together. Should I create a separate article about The Sound Agency including clients, awards etc?
- Should I remove or keep information about Julian's publishing career? He founded a notable company and received multiple recognised awards during that period; this article for those who are interested to check him out, so his background is surely relevant?
- Should I remove or keep information about his music career? This is always of interest to people who want to know from Julian “how did you get into sound?”
- I will remove reference to him being an author in the main summary. I understand that he is not widely recognised for this, and will instead mention his book only briefly. (He is currently working on a new book to be published late in 2017 and aimed at a much wider consumer audience, so this will probably change in time.)
- I can include more on the training work and workshops that Julian has done at conferences and events internationally. A lot of these are notable.
- How do I ensure 'high quality' references to publications? What are the standards? Surely major media like The Times and the BBC are high quality? Are there specific references that are degrading the standard and should be removed?
- I can add more detail about his work... how it is innovative - techniques and technology, core ideas etc, if this is useful.
I look forward to receiving your feedback, along with anything else that you think will make the article acceptable.
Many thanks.

I believed that IMDB records are a significant enough independent listing, and the extensive list of professional publications that Mr. Glenn has sold to.
As a writer he's written and sold a number of novels. As a stunt choreographer he has an extensive list of file credits. I'm not sure I understand how these are not significant?
02:32:04, 20 March 2017 review of submission by Cwtyler
Request for reconsideration: The rejection of this article does not take account of the fact that this artist is already the subject of a Wikipedia page in Bulgarian: https://bg.wikipedia.org/Иван Вукадинов. This was not previously cited, but the English page under consideration is essentially mirroring the existing Bulgarian page. It is therefore inappropriate to dismiss the English page as not meeting the criteria for significance.
In response to the comments about the reliability and independence of the sources of this article, this article was sourced by no fewer than four independent Bulgarian and one Italian author, publishing in English, German, Italian and Bulgarian, all of which describe the artist in glowing terms. Moreover, he is the subject of not one but two individual artist biographical surveys by the National Gallery of Art in Sofia, the central authority on Bulgarian art. By dismissing these as reliable sources, the reviewer is essentially dismissing the entire country of Bulgaria as a reputable and independent assessor of artistic merit and applying a narrow, Anglo-American definition of source relevance to the Wikipedia selection procedure. The number of referenced sources has now been nearly doubled.
I should point out that the primary source that is cited is an extremely reputable book about the artist by the doyenne of art critics in Bulgaria, Distinguished Professor Aksinia Dzhurova, who is completely independent of the artist in question. This art authority is Director of the Bulgarian Center for Slavic and Byzantine Studies, a positon she has held for four decades since 1986, and has an international reputation as indicated by her visiting professorships at the universities of Yale (USA), Jerusalem (Israel), the Sorbonne (France) and the Institute for Eurasian Studies (Italy). She has also been honored as a Foreign Member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU). She is the author of 25 books and hundreds of publications and on Medieval culture, Slavic and Byzantine art, Slavic codicology and Modern art. She is therefore unquestionably an established, reliable authority on the standing of Eastern European artists, and is completely independent of the artist (as am I).
A revised version of the page has been prepared, itemizing further activities and world recognition of this important artist.

Hello,
I'm writing this current Wikipedia article as there is a lack of knowledge regarding the AMAR foundation. I understand that Wikipedia has strict guidelines regarding writing, however, I was wondering if there is any information (specific) that I should omit in order to write a successful article?
Additionally, while the notability Wikipedia page was really helpful, I still fail to understand which source would be useful? In the UK, news papers like the Sun/the Mirror are considered tabloid and should not be noteworthy news, but would Wikipedia consider these papers worthy of reference?
Thank you in advance,

Hi!
I understand there were some sources "close" to the artist. I've put other sources, all independent from him and left the "problematic" ones out (iTunes listings, blogs, etc.).
Basically there would be two reasons to include him:
- He's been #1 on an International Independent Music chart, compiled with radio airplay of more than 90 countries.
- He's been nominated for the "independent Grammys" in Spain with his album.
He also has a long discography but I understand that's not reason enough to include him here.
Please let me know your thoughts! This is my first article and I'd like to write more after this one :)
Thank you!

Hey swister I Made several new edits and solved the notability with new references from several reputable publications. If you could take a look at it and let me know what you think that would be great. Also if it is still not good enough can you please tell me what it needs? I have looked at other space wiki pages such as SpaceX and Deep Space Industries and I followed their formatting and the content that they have in their pages is the same as the content in the Saber Page just with more intellectual property.

Subsequently I did not provide enough information about his Textbook from 1941 and all the medical authorities who noted where Fried had worked as a pioneer.

I'm such a newbie and Wikipedia is complicated for me, that I don't know if I'm communicating correctly. Your latest comment asked that "major independent news" organizations be used in references. However, we are a small 501 (c)3 organization in a small town, barely surviving on donations. Our local newspaper has 1 1/2 pages of local news each day, so the chances of getting "major independent news" references are just about non-existent. Do have any suggestions?
We put this page together since we found several Wikipedia pages that reference our organization, but a click on those links took a reader nowhere. We thought we were helping Wikipedia be more comprehensive and could get our story referenced too. If you think our submission is going nowhere, I'm willing to withdraw it.
Thanks.

Could we please use the same criterion which was used and passed for his accepted Spanish-Wiki page? The question is : why his Spanish notability should outrank his English notability? This second attempt of Andrew Radford should only be seen in the light of a translation from Spanish to English (the dominant language of his scholarly works), and to add updated materials.

09:33:11, 1 April 2017 review of submission by TGSTINT
How are sources from world-famous and established newspapers as nytimes, theguardian or music-relevant pages like mtv or discogs are NOT reliable. What more reliable sources about a musician can there be than from newspapers everyone has heard from and world famous music pages?? I used well know newspapers or music papers for the general information and well know music databases or the music label/musician websites themself for the discography. Most of these pages even have a wikipedia article themselves... I am sorry - but when i compare this to the pages that the reviewer wrote himself - they are much less and proper referenced. There is also an artist in the list where the reviewer used exactly the same unreliable sources (mtv etc.). I may have not been writing about very well known artist - In fact i think this is the main reason.. But i wrote about one who worked with artist on albums and with producers who achieved Platinum status (often several times) - and i spend a lot of time viewing, comparing and chossing references. And to make the decline even more funny: there is a wikipedia article with a cricketeer of the same name which goes like" Jennifer Turner (born 5 September 1969) is a New Zealand former cricketer." Then one reference. And that was it. So - if i shorten my article to its first sentence "Jennifer Turner is a singer/songwriter musician and producer." and link to one "reliable source" (instead of several...) - guess it is ok and can be approved?
I may agree that the general look can be polished - but sources not reliable?? If so the reviewer himself used those unreliable sources and should decline some of the articles he has on his userpage...
So to recap: it would be kind to point out which sources are the ones who are supposed to be unreliable.

As comment to my improvments you wrote:
"The same listed guideline also says that the listed profiles such as MTV, Bandcamp, Discogs, etc. must be removed as they are not independent or significant; while there are now headlines for the journalists, those alone are simply not enough to satisfy WP:Notability (music). Basically these profile-like sources only exist to confirm it exists, but not notability, and especially since anyone can make their own profile, it wouldn't be notable. "
No it does not!
First: MTV is already removed before the second review as mtv updated their page and i couldnt find the artist page anymore. Which tells me the commentor didnt really check the links.
Second: All the links i did not comment further so far are ONLY related to the discography - so mainly Databases LIKE Discogs. The link you refer to refers to creating a WHOLE ARTICLE of an Album, song or whatnot - not a discography INSIDE and as part of an article in which the NOTABILITY or the artist is already proven by 17 references.
Also Discogs - cleary fulfills the criteria of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Recordings - as it is not related to the musician, label or whatever. You can even see on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discogs. Significance is a word easily thrown - What makes That it is one of the biggest sources available. To underline this: in articles that probably are reviewed numerous times - like those of a small band called the Beatles Discogs CAN BE FOUND as reference.
So - the person itself is already shown to be notable by 17 references spanning the musical carrer. Also no guidline disproves Discogs and other used sources for beeing wrong for the usage on the discography inside this article - even more you can find sources like these in discographys of some of the worlds most famous artists. Just to be sure i gave the Discography of Elvis Presley a try: and again - discogs can be found. 2 out of 2. So either everyone reviewing this articles is wrong. Or i am right in using those references. So please accept my well researched article.

Second opinion on Draft:Hannah Grace
Hi, it's me again 
. I was wondering your opinion on Draft:Hannah Grace? I think that having references from the BBC and (lesser so) the daily star definitely make it interesting and, barring a copyvio check (which I can't do easily on mobile but will when I am at my PC) returning that it is in violation/plagiarized, I would be tempted to accept it personally. It has some grammar issues/typos but are quite minor and I would be tempted to just fix myself and would not consider a deal breaker acceptance wise. What are your thoughts on it?

Second opinion request on Draft:Adam Armstrong
On my talk page the editor who created the draft has brought it to my attention that the essay-like wording has been addressed and I said that I would get a second reviewer to take a look at it and get their opinion on it.

I don't understand what you mean by "notability can not be inherited". Could you explain? This is my first article ever and I'm writing it because it was weird to find that there was only a spanish article in Wikipedia regarding Gonzalez.
Please bear in mind that in my submission: There are references to articles regarding González' work in cultural supplements of all major Argentinean written press: Clarin, Pagina 12, La Nacion. There is a link to a video interview from the Argentinean national TV network (Encuentro is a public signal from the Ministry of Culture: http://encuentro.gob.ar/) There are links to interviews in two highly renowned radio broadcasts in Argentina (Radio Metro, Radio Vorterix). There is a link to a disclosure by Argentinean Embassy in Germany regarding Gonzalez' visit to Berlin to show his work.
Certainly he is not internationally renowned, but his local renown is comparable to many other countercultural artists that do have a profile in Wikipedia. As an example, and for the sake of their similarities, take the case of the Brazilian writer Ferrez.
According to Wikipedia's guidelines for notability (in bold those criteria met by Gonzalez):
Basic criteria: People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject.[6]
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.[7] Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.
Criteria for authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals:
The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. 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 primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
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.
request for Marcello Aliprandi Article submission by stefanianj
Hi, I am kind of new to wiki. My Article for Marcello Aliprandi, you decliened, is a translation from an original article in the italian wiki (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcello_Aliprandi). Translations of the article already exist in many other languages such as spanish, french and german. I thought it would be a nice thing to have it in English as well since Aliprandi had directed english speaking actors such as academy award winner Martin Balsam and Orson Wells and he certainly meets notability criteria. I did not know how to place the tags on top of the article to show that it was a translation. There are many articles on the interent and books referencing Aliprandi but I was not trying to write an original article but just post a translation of the original Italian article. The original article reference for example a work by Tullio Kezich who is a very noted italian film critic. I still need to add the filmography and the imdb reference. Please help. I look forward to your input. Stefanianj 09:42 04/11/2017 UTC

Hi SwisterTwister,
A couple of days ago you rejected our draft of a page about Chris Lovasz, and we have since improved the draft. We have added a lot of information and third party sources including (but not limited to) the Telegraph, PCGamesN and TenEighty magazine. We are of the belief that Chris Lovasz is quite notable as he has a large fanbase and a large amount of self produced content. he is, in our humble opinions, much more notable than a bunch of youtubers that do already have a wikipedia page such as a number of SourceFed hosts like William Haynes just to name an example. And equally notable as fellow Yogscast members Hat Films.
We hope that you will look at the draft again from a fair and just view and possibly provide us with feedback to improve our page. Thank you in advance,
The community from /r/sips on Reddit.

The page Christine Merline was not accepted due to a lack of 'notability.' Christine Merlin is a relatively young scientist but has made some monumental discoveries in monarch butterfly circadian rhythms and migration patterns, which is outlined on the page. The references cited to support that information is not from Merlin herself but from primary review sources of her materials.
Following this justification, I believe this page has been incorrectly declined.

Hi i made this article for a course and need to have it up soon, i understood that i needed more sources but where do i stop. I found several interviews red carpet pictures and other media content. I believe i've shown that he has accomplished a lot and is a rising producer in the industry with a growing fan base. He wrote the scripts for biggest movies of the last few years and has been invited to work with bigger organisations like dreamworks on future movies. I believe this entitles him to some notability, I only say this because he wrote many of these scripts and for him to receive no credit is a little cruel, if not i can keep adding articles till you are satisfied just let me know, how many sources you think is reasonable.

Hi Swister,
Thanks for your feedback. To make a case for JetPrivilege I would like to let you know that it is the primary frequent flyer program of India's second largest airlinesJet Airways.It has also been covered on India's popular news websites such as Economic Times,Business Wire and also western media such as USA Today and many more websites. It is also a legitimate corporation and has its listing on many corporate directories. Are not the sources listed in the reference enough to establish notability? They have been retrieved from popular websites in India.
Also on the issue of advertising, I have referred to many frequent flyer pages present on Wikipedia such as EuroBonus,KrisFlyer,Velocity Frequent Flyer & MileagePlus. They too have included similar topics like history, partners, program changes that were negative to customers and a little information about the program structure.
It would be very helpful if you could guide me on where am I going wrong here and what changes to make in order to conform to Wikipedia's policies.

Hi SisterTwister,
Thanks for the review and the edit of a new article on "David Morgan".
I have resubmitted with a few reviews of his very important textbook. finding 'notable sources' seems to be an arbitrary requirement from Wikipedia. Does the sheer volume of work this man has produced not make him notable in his own right? Thus, worthy of a Wiki page? Genuinely curious as to what constitutes a 'notable source' considering some of the Wiki pages I've read.
Thanks again, you guys do great work.

I realise that more references are required in this article, but as a near-beginner in Wikipedia editing I am not yet confident that the references I am currently providing are appropriate in terms of Wikipedia's style.
Regarding notability: the subject of the article, the Icelandic author Ólafur Gunnarsson, is an established and internationally known novelist whose work has been translated into several languages. There are already Wikipedia articles about him in Icelandic and German, but so far there is not an article about him written in English. I have added a section in paragraph 4 with links to reference works and other source material where Gunnarsson's work is cited. Please indicate if this is the kind of improvement that is required - if it is, then I can add some more references, but obviously do not want to do this if I am somehow going astray from the editorial line.
20:21:10, 1 May 2017 review of submission by Jonathan A. Coles
I wish to defend the need for an entry on 'Animal Reflectors'.
Who needs an entry 'animal reflectors':
1. Opticists making broad-band reflecting photonic crystals. Physicists are commendably interested in biological analogs of what they make. But they tend to study tissues that don't decay rapidly (beetle elytra, for example) and have rather missed out on animals like silvery fish and on cats' eyes, which do not keep well on the bench top.
2. Anybody wondering why and how fish have silvery sides.
3. Anybody wanting a better explanation of how eyeshine works in the eyeshine/tapetum lucidum entry.
Need for a new entry. I don't see how this information could be put conveniently in other entries. Animal reflectors all work on basically the same principle, whether they are fish scales, the fundus of the scallop eye, or tapeta lucida, and the mathematics was developed for the first two of these, and for some kinds of tapetum lucidum (in lower primates). The entry for fish scales is almost entirely zoological classification. The entry for tapetum lucidum hardly attempts to explain the optics (perhaps rightly, as there appears to be no full analysis of the optics of the cat tapetum). But the cat tapetum is of considerable interest to physicists constructing photonic crystals. There is also 'dielectric reflector', which relates to animal reflectors by the optical principles, but not by the materials. It would be silly to put animal reflectors in all these entries.
What would make sense is to have cross-references, so one can go: eyeshine > tapetum > animal reflectors. Or photonic crystal > animal reflectors > tapetum. Or dielectric reflector > animal reflectors> animal coloration. Or fish scales > animal reflectors. Or animal reflectors > fish scales.
Style Half the point of Wikipedia is that users improve entries. But they can only improve an entry if the entry exists.
I am impressed by the speed of the editors' replies.
Regards
Jonathan Coles

I'm not sure I understand the review reason. Doesn't the fact that it's already on Wikipedia mean that notability
has already been established per WP:NOTE (de:WP:Relevanzkriterien)?
Also, you say, "Would need all additional news," but I included news references from the BBC, the Miami Herald, The Independent, and Hurriyet Daily News (a major Turkish source). There are others, like the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, and MSN, which I could add, but they mostly duplicate what's already there. The Telegraph, in particular, doesn't seem to have done separate reporting, stating "the BBC reports" in the body of their article, I don't consider the Daily Mail to be a very reputable source, and the MSN article is a straight write-through of the Independent's article. I could add sites like BoredPanda but I don't think that would contribute to the noteworthiness or gravitas of the article.
I've added another reference, NYMag.com. Please let me know what else you mean by "all additional news." I would note my article is already more complete than de:Tombili since the German WP article doesn't cover the theft and subsequent return of the statue. -- DavidConrad (talk) 01:20, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

- As I happen to be here, perhaps I can help. Your draft contained multiple sentences like " Precor sets the standard for quality, innovation, and performance in exercise equipment. " "and they have been supporting the natural movement of the human body ever since." . This is pure puffery, not appropriate outside advertising. The article contains numerous claims of "first" without any documentation--there has to be a specific third party published reference for every claim, not just a general link to you own web site--with a "history of innovation" page that also contains puffery. The draft use trademark symbols--the encyclopedia does not.
- From experience over many years, it is extremely difficult for an employee of the company to write a page about the company. The company is indeed well known, and probably there are good 3rd party sources that are usable for an article. I suggest you list it at Wikipedia:Requested articles. It's likely that someone interested in the subject will write a proper article. DGG ( talk ) 17:51, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for reviewing my page. Can you specifically state why this article should be deleted?
I saw that the article may not have been significant but that can kind of seem like an opinion of sorts.
Why do you think this article isn't significant?
I appreciate your insight.

Hi! I saw that my article on Stephen Janis was rejected because my sources lacked notability. I want to try to improve on that front before I try again, and I was hoping you could tell me which sources you think are my weak links. Any other advice you have would be much appreciated as well. Thank you so much!

Regards to the resubmission with the articles Keep Victoria Beautiful
Dear SwisterTwister,
Last time, you have left a reivew to improve my article at [[1]] as "We would need a better focus in adding all additional major independent news, and not simply announcements or notices." After a week, I tried my best to find more references about Keep Victoria Beautiful on more sources of information. Please kindly note that Keep Victoria Beautiful is a non-profit-organisation that worked closely with the Australian government and city councils, most of existing references are from trusted government websites with .gov.au domain.
Also there was an article of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_Australia_Beautiful that was online long time ago. I have tried my best to make my new articles improved in quality with infromation from trusted government websites.
I would like to give you a ping. Hoping that you are online before I resubmit the article in a few hours. I really appriciate your help to make the Wikipedia stable. I am more than happy if the article would be approved so that Keep Victoria Beautiful could contribute more for the Victorian environment and people.

New Page Draft Declined Draft:Good World Solutions, 4 May 2017
Thank you for reviewing my submission on Draft:Good World Solutions. Can you please help me understand why you have rejected it as an advertisement when I have used news sources from the Huffington Post, the Harvard Business Review, DU Press, ProPublica, Gesi and others. I know some of the information I received from the company itself but I verified with outside sources. I have also added some more outside sources which talk both directly about Good World Solutions and also about the problem which they are addressing. I did this for a college project and it is not an advertisement for a business but a factual page on what they do and how the operate. Please help me remedy this problem. Thank you for your time.

Old Draft
So I am looking at this 13yo draft: Draft:Valerie Sutton The bots never pick it up for deletion since it gets an edit here or there. The author has not been on for a year now.

Re: Draft:Stephen Maitland-Lewis, can you please clarify your comment regarding announcements/notices? Are you referencing the "Louie Award" references by Broadway World and Queens Tribune?

Hi there, I'm not requesting a re-review of this article, I would just like to know how I can improved the draft I've submitted to ensure it's approved next time. The reason for it being declined was a lack of sufficient and/or strong enough sources. I can certainly include other sources, I guess my only question is what requires a source and what doesn't. Furthermore, what qualifies as a legitimate source as far as Wikipedia is concerned. Thank you for your helpAlexhanno04 (talk) 18:42, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
01:55:43, 9 May 2017 review of submission by Kate.laolu.nyc
The person I created a page on is a notable person. His art is in several major museums, he has had a TED talk (not TED X), he was on Beyonce's Lemonade and is mentioned in her wikipedia page about it, has worked with over 7 international brands, he's had several articles about himself and his art in every major news source (some of them several times). When you google his first name he's the person who comes up for the first 4 pages. He's the most influential African artist currently alive at this moment. This is not a matter of opinion. This is why Yale, Harvard, Google, Facebook, Spotify, and Instagram have all had him come and speak to their employees. So I am asking for a you to reconsider your reasoning that this person is not notable. Thank you. Kate.laolu.nyc (talk) 01:55, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Greetings. The subject of the page was a pretty significant guitarist in the bay area, and for a short time in LA. Recommended by Janis Leibhart for an audition with Bob Seger's band (audition granted) Johnson was an well know to other celebrity guitarists like Danny Chauncey (38 special) and Brad Gillis (Night Ranger). Although certainly less famous, he's sure worth of a simple mention on Wikipedia for his amazing chops and voice. What do you require to validate this page please?
Off-wiki harassment campaign possible
SwisterTwister, I'm messaging you because you're (or were) aware of some of the problems brought up at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shawwal/Archive. Basically, members of a certain religious cult constantly create sock/meatpuppets to push their POV in an organized fashion (see here too). Well, recently I noticed this and then this, followed by a coverup here.<ref> Now, I'm not asking you to get involved because I know you're busy. What I am asking for, though, is an opinion, and please know that there's no pressure to answer. My question is: where should I take this? Organized campaigns of POV-pushing by this same cult has been going on for years, and numerous sock/meat accounts have been blocked along the way. In your experience, would you view AN as an appropriate avenue to bring this to the attention of admins? Or is there a more fitting avenue for this? MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:46, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
- MezzoMezzo Although possible connections aside, there's simply not enough weight to put a serious case in here, especially given that not only has Samsparky been cleared as being a Shawwal sock, but even what's above is simply not blatant enough for an IP block or CU there since it's simply an apparent email suggestion and an apparent response to it. However, if there's worse later especially something violating policy, then that may be different. SwisterTwister talk 03:51, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for being honest. I suppose that I'll just keep the above in mind in case it's needed, but silently hope that it isn't. All the best! MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:11, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello Swister Twister,
I'm not ready for the article to be reviewed again, but I do have a question. In looking at what is notable about this Buddhist group, the one important thing is how many of their teachings are published in books and audio sets. Is it acceptable to put a list of publications in the article?
Thank you, Karma Yoga
- Karma Yoga Yes, but this alone won't establish a convincing article in notability. SwisterTwister talk 17:00, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Re-submission of article
Hello @SwisterTwister,
I appreciate your inputs on my proposed article, Draft:Shiv_Darshan on April 05, 2017. In line with your expectation and recommendation, I have provided additional references for article re-submission. Although I respect your viewpoint, I wish to share my observations. Shiv Darshan has three films to his credit already. You may like to check Shiv Darshan at IMDb to verify. There are several actors who have made debut in a single film, yet they have a peer-reviewed Wikipedia page; I believe it's fair to give Shiv Darshan due consideration. Thanks a ton for reading; and hoping to receive your best support! Cheers. Amishah78 (talk) 17:31, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Please slow down and check your work
Hi. I notice you've created many new stubs recently. Unfortunately, the reason I noticed this is because I've been fixing CS1 errors. Ramon Casadesus-Masanell, Paulo Lozano, Fan Ren, Hope Weiler, Kirk Schanze, Louis Burgio, and Karla Gower all have errors of one kind or another, from empty citations to non-existent categories to wikilinks which are red because the article name differs slightly. The first four I found in Category:Pages_with_empty_citations; the other three I found when I looked at 15 of the pages you created today.
You've been here long enough to know how things work. Maybe you plan to go back to each of those and fix them. Right now they're sitting in mainspace, being stubs, with errors. Please review your drafts and fix them before you move them, and take another look at the ones you've already created. Thanks. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 22:56, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi @SwisterTwister /David
Thanks for your input on my article Draft:South Australian State Emergency Service. I'm trying to follow your advice to the best of my ability & have since had another go at citing & adding content. Do you think you could review it again for me? I would really like some more detailed feedback on how I can improve it. Any additional help you could give me with incorporating references would also be super helpful.
Thanks again for your time KaiRAWR (talk) 05:36, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
- @KaiRAWR: Looking in, it would still highly benefit from all additional significant sourcing. SwisterTwister talk 05:38, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
- @SwisterTwister: Wow, that was prompt. Thanks! Do you think it would be possible for me to change the article type to a Government Agency/Organisation Stub? Sourcing is somewhat difficult to find right now. KaiRAWR (talk) 07:13, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

The article A. O. Zoss has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Adam9007 (talk) 01:02, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Adding stub templates to the articles you create
Again, I'll ask (since you removed this request when I wrote a rather polite, identical request about a week ago without explaination), add an appropriate stub template to any article that you create (or heck, even {{stub}} will do). You didn't do this at Louis Burgio, which was written after I requested you do this the first time. I expect better from an editor as experienced as yourself, in both receiving criticism (or, at least, responding to criticism, full stop) and in stub templating their own article. I'm surprised that you seem to be struggling with this. -- I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @ 00:32, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi SwisterTwister
- Firstly I note that you have automatic archiving set up, but it is not catching nearly 200 older threads which are clogging up your talk page and making it slow to load. Would you mind doing a manual cleanup and getting it down to a manageable size?
- Secondly I'm sure that you are following the discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Mass creation of improperly referenced BLPs by User:SwisterTwister and I appreciate it may be unpleasant and stressful to see the strength of feeling there. I understand if you prefer not to respond there, but would you please consider making a short statement on your talk page to say that take the concerns on board and how things will change going forward? I fear that in the absence of a conciliatory response some editing restriction will likely be imposed on you.

00:19:36, 18 May 2017 review of submission by Wofsylil
1) The reviewer said the submission needs "all additional major independent news including reviews." Right now it references 5 reviews. There are many more. Should they all be included? 2) What does the reviewer mean by "notability cannot be inherited"? Does it refer to Goldberg's association with William Burroughs? If so, isn't this a key part of Goldberg's biography? 3) Besides the content presented here, Goldberg has a number of other accomplishments, unrelated to his role as a writer about drugs and the brain. These include his experiences as a poet, independent publisher, and cultural affairs journalist. Some of that work has been documented in books and articles. Should the submission be expanded to include it?
