- Draft:Tosin Bee - rejected due to references not being inline with WP:CITE (click that WP:CITE link for more, your referencing techniques are not within policy) and because Tosin Bee (by the sources that your provided) isn't deemed notable enough to be accepted (and some of the sources are primary). The sources you provided don't show enough coverage (ie paragraph or more in each source) in enough reliable sources to show notability (see WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG). If you provide three or more sources independent of Tosin Bee from newspapers, books, magazines, journals (more than passing mentions) it will be accepted. If you have further help ask here some more or see the Teahouse. Thank you for reaching out. JC7V-talk 08:25, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
10:09:01, 8 November 2018 review of draft by BellaAw
Hello,
Comment: The subject appears to be best known for Spears Magazine, but Spears Magazine doesn't have an article of its own and so would not seem to be notable. Other than that, notability is not inherited from his father or anyone else.
I have made some substantial changes to the above draft following previous failed submissions by other users. However, it was declined again. The following comments were left on the page as being the main reasons why it was rejected this time:
Comment: This draft appears to have been reference-bombed with non-independent and low-quality sources.See previous notes.
- This is now improved. Some low-quality and non-independent sources are gone and I left references that comes from well known websites and mention the subject (and support facts) very well. 81.153.208.126 (talk) 10:04, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- Spear's Magazine does have an article of its own - it is now linked to the subject. 81.153.208.126 (talk) 10:04, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
With all the improvements, does the article meet WP:GNG? BellaAw (talk) 10:09, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
10:31:08, 8 November 2018 review of submission by TroopyGirl
- TroopyGirl (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hello, I'd just like some clarity about how I prove notability of my subject. Richard Lawson has founded and run many charitable foundations which have given millions of pounds away to charity. Notability seems to require sources to be cited but humanitarians rarely seek publicity for their work. He is referenced in charitable records for the charity's he's involved with but this isn't counted in the notability judgement. To try to boost notability, I have added a section about his career as a powerboat racer, for which I have many newspaper references and media coverage but this doesn't seem to be enough. Is it simply that individuals who work within small charities just aren't notable enough to warrant inclusion or do you see something I could do to help? Secondly, if he simply doesn't fit the notability criteria, I have been reading about the possibility of merging his page with another. His charity the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation already has its own Wiki page - can I merge him into that somehow, allowing his page I've written to exist as a link from the JDF page - if so, how do I do that? Many thanks TroopyGirl TroopyGirl (talk) 10:31, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- I think the subject is not well known enough to have got the substantial coverage that Wikipedia notability insists on. You could include information about his charity work in the article about his charity if it is relevant. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 14:01, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

I wrote when it started and who was currently top of the table (Lyon); the only source I managed to find was Lyon's web-site. There's no reason to think that Lyon would have got the League table on their web-site wrong to make Lyon look better, so it could hardly be classed as a biased source, so what's the problem with it? ACCH (talk) 15:35, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

It has been 2 ,months since i submitted my article and it still has not been reviewed . It says the maximum waiting time for an article to be reviewed is 2 months .
Demographichistorian (talk) 16:36, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- If I reviewed your article it would not be to approve it. I expect the main reason it has been waiting so long is the dire formatting, consider fixing the images, putting references after the end punctuation of a sentence, and using {{quote}} for quotes. The main reason for not accepting it would be the general impression I get that the subject is already covered in other articles, or should be covered in other articles. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 17:14, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

- David Colquhoun (talk · contribs) (TB)
I have been told by Missvain that I do not cite enough sources. I'm not sure what this means. I've written only a few Wikipedia entries, so I'd appreciate a couple of examples of what's lacking a source. I didn't have this problem with writing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Wilson_(mathematician).
Also, David Eppstein said that the references to papers are not sufficiently selective. Again, I don't understand what this means. Have I cited too many papers?
David Colquhoun (talk) 17:56, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- More sources should be self explanatory, every sentence should have a citation after it. You can use named references to use the same reference for several sentence. You will have to ask David Eppstein about being selective, I don't really know. I have approved it and you can improve it in mainspace. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 18:08, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

My submission got declined and I am wondering to know the reason.
Mehdichitsaz (talk) 20:17, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hey Mehdichitsaz, thanks for reaching out, your submisison was declined for not meeting any of these criteria (from the WP:NBAND page):
Shortcuts WP:BAND WP:MUSICBIO Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria.
- Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1]
- This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries[note 2] except for the following:
- Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.[note 3]
- Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.
- Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases.
- Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.
- Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
- Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.[note 4]
- Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
- Is 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.[note 5] This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g. musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.)
- Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
- Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
- Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition.
- Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications).
- Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
- Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.
You need sources that show Chi2am is notable via newspapers, book etc independent of the subject (and more than in passing) If you need further help, ask again or see the Teahouse. See Macklemore's article for the type of sources you need. JC7V-talk 20:25, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

- Many sources are considered unreliable or not independent, notably amazon.com, any blog, the subjects own website. For more information read WP:RS. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 12:41, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
ok, thanks, yes I understand. But the amazon, blog and own website links are under 'external links' not 'references' - so that's ok, right? I am working on more text and links for the main bio. Can you also explain why the photo was removed - it had the necessary permission from the photographer. Do I also need to link to the photographer's website? Erogzi (talk) 14:07, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- Photo permissions are dealt with a Commons. At AfC we generally don't worry about photos. Legacypac (talk) 14:11, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- As a general rule I discourage external links because nothing says "advertising problem" more than lists of ecommerce platforms. External links are allowed, not required. I tend to consider them more as a further reading type section, consider if the reader really wants the links. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 14:54, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks
Cotidianus (talk) 23:09, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- You take the photo yourself and then have permission as the owner. If you want to use a photo you didn't take yourself, you have to find the owner of the photo and ask them to upload the photo. Photos are owned by the photographer unless they sell their copyright, which is not the same as selling a physical or digital copy of a photo, which does not come with it's copyright that the original photographer keeps.
- You do not indent text in articles, to indent text as I am here;
- Use colons at the beginning of a new line.

Is there a way to appeal the decision of non-notability?
This is going to apply to all four articles I created, and I request the comments be consolidated: Draft:Jerry Simoneaux, Draft:Michael Newman (judge), Draft:Jason Cox and Draft:James S. Horwitz.
On Tuesday, Harris County Texas elected new probate judges, and I wished to create pages for them.
Judges in Texas are elected, partisan politicians, and these judges have 4.7 Million constituents. That is more constituents than 26 governors, 52 Senators and all 435 members of the House. More than Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, John Bel Edwards, Tom Cotton, Gary Johnson, Jacky Rosen, Joe Manchin, Bernie Sanders and many others.
Judges elected from constituencies of nearly 5 million people are not constantly in the news, but seldom are state legislators. Still legislators are notable, because of the immense power they yield. The same goes for these public officials.
HoustonProbate (talk) 20:25, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
EDIT: I looked up y'alls' guideposts, and these judges are very obviously notable. Wikipedia:Notability_(law)#Judges.
These are high courts, as defined by your own standards, No. 4 (Superior Courts). These courts can also set binding precedent (No. 2).
These judges' jurisdiction do not extent to the whole of a state, but as noted, Harris County Texas is larger than 26 different states.
"If a judge, on account of the judicial office he holds, ranks higher in his country's official system of precedence than persons who have received an honour that satisfies criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO rank, on account of that honour, in that system of precedence, then that judge is notable." <-- The County Treasurer Orlando Sanchez (politician) ranks lower on the official system of precedence.
HoustonProbate (talk) 20:25, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- Houston, I'm afraid you're probably going to lose this one. Sanchez' article may not belong here; and in any case, the United States does not have "honours" and official systems of precedence like the Brits do; that passage you quote is for countries like the U.K. that do have these things in a way we Yanks do not. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:48, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- It makes no reference to the aristocracy. It says "order of precedence." The United States does, in fact, have one. States and localities have informal ones as well. And in any case, the policy appears to encourage writing about jurists with massive jurisdictions, the same as state legislators. I fail to see any compelling reason these people are not notable. HoustonProbate (talk) 20:54, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- Harris county is not the whole of a country, state or province. The notability guidelines are defined entirely on artificial constructs of area and population is not considered, the leader of a state in a small country with 20,000 inhabitants is treated as being notable and the leader of a county with 5 million inhabitants is not. Additionally there is no way you are going to convince anyone here that a probate court is equivalent to a high court. I would go on, but I suspect you are some kind of lawyer and the argument would be fruitless. If you really want to, you could publish one yourself and then see what the community says at AfD. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 21:26, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

23:47:05, 11 November 2018 review of submission by Wbucklew
I didn't realize that all the links I provided were redirects from the charity website, that was a mistake, I have corrected them all so that they are direct to the third party, of which there are over 40 listed from all the major news agencies, newspapers, etc. Previous reviewers have indicated that the accomplishments were substantial enough to warrant inclusion, the whole natin was following him, so a lot of time was spent writing this in fact based format. I hope this meets your expectations, thanks fo your patience, its all very new to me.

What is your question? Legacypac (talk) 05:53, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
I processed all but one of these pages. Declined most, CSD'd one, and accepted the village. Legacypac (talk) 06:05, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- Sir, I object your decision. You have only declined quality and notable pages. I do not believe that some Wikipedia administrators review our articles so poorly. Farooqahmadbhat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:15, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
Bro, Would you please give your opinion on the declined drafts? Drafts are being discussed here on Legacypac's (talk page) -------------- Farooqahmadbhat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:56, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
There appears to be various fragmented discussions already, and an email in my inbox, I could reply in various places but I will just outline my thoughts here. You can refer to my comment by linking to it elsewhere if you want.
- Junaid Azim Mattu as the Mayor of Srinagar is not presumed notable under WP:NPOL. Politicians that don't meet that guideline are hard to prove notable and will need more than a short stub.
- Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Tina Dabi will decide the fate of Tina Dabi. As the title has already be create protected in mainspace I suspect COI or paid editing in the past on that subject.
- Peer Ki Gali is notable, as noted by Legacypac the article is closely paraphrased and needs to be rewritten slightly to avoid copyright issues, this is a prose issue. Check [1] and [2].
- Bufliaz has been approved.
- Rafia Rahim and Mehak Zubair are low profile radio presenters, to have the articles accepted you need to expand the articles and add more references to show why they are significant.
I hope this helps. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 11:19, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

I would like to get a second opinion on a declined draft. Here is the discussion we had with the reviewer who suggested getting a second opinion: User_talk:BridgeScript
BridgeScript (talk) 10:22, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- The topic is not notable due to there being insufficient references to pass WP:NCORP. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 10:43, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
How do you mean "pass"? Can you point out those references that do not "pass"? BridgeScript (talk) 10:50, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- The notability guideline is like a test applied to the article to see if it passes the minimum standard for inclusion. You need at minimum two or three times as many similar references, or at least two substantial articles in national news in addition to the references already in the article to pass. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 10:54, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
OK, thanks for the info. BridgeScript (talk) 10:58, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

What should I do to get this article posted? I keep trying and get no help at all and am confused by all the options of nonspecific guidance. I am sure I am not as clever as everyone else on here, but I am doing my best.
Can someone tell me what more do I need to show that this topic is notable? Why it has been referred to as “garbage“ (which is hardly an objective statement, given that it is only a short text)? Why is submitting updates in response to objections considered worthy of deletion?
I am new to this whole process so I think a little constructive support is not an unreasonable expectation. Here is the text I propose as a new article topic, along with its supporting external references. Please could someone tell me what is wrong with it, and how I fix it. Thank you.

20:24:47, 12 November 2018 review of submission by Rmilnes
This is a page describing a branded technology. Is it at all possible to get a page on a branded technology published? There are unique elements to the technology. In principle there is no generic description for the technology other than by reference to the brand name. The original draft is extremely rich in clinical references, as well as the pros and cons of other technologies.

- 23.241.240.131 (talk · contribs) (TB)
I am requesting help because I do not believe this submission was correctly reviewed.
First, the reviewer notes that the submission lacks significant coverage in reliable, published sources. However, the article includes THREE references to an article specifically about SALMA OKONKWO, published by FORBES.com on 7/31/18 (see link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chloesorvino/2018/07/31/ghana-solar-farm-ubi-salma-okonkwo/#2d239cf61d24). The article was written by sr. reporter Chloe Sorvino but published by FORBES.com. Other sources footnoted in the submission include PETROL WORLD, a global subscription-based b2b magazine covering the petroleum industry, and MODERN GHANA, a recognized news site for the country of Ghana. As required, all of these publications are independent of Ms. Okonkwo and I believe meet the rest of your criteria for outside sources.
Second, when this article was first submitted in Fall, 2017, it met the objectivity requirement (as reviewed by the first reviewer), and the text has not changed, except with the addition of several facts not available in 2017 so we are confused by the note that it reads like an advertisement. Every fact is presented clearly and without editorial remarks. Adjectives are minimal and used only when necessary. The timeline is correct and straightforward. There is no subjective text or opinion.
Therefore, I would appreciate a new objective review as soon as possible. Thank you.

- The Forbes article is a solid start, but no matter how many times it is cited, it's still a single source. None of the other cited sources add anything significant about Okonkwo. If three articles independently and over a period of time went as deeply into the topic as the Forbes one, there would be no problem with notability. As it stands, however, I too would decline the draft.
- Note that just because reviewers of the earlier Draft:Salma Okonkwo didn't mention notability when they declined it doesn't mean it hasn't always been one of the problems with the topic.
- Much of the draft, such as the entire "other activities" section, cites no sources for its statements or misrepresents the sources. That can make it seem promotional. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:44, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
