Request on 00:33:37, 5 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Benjiebj


Hello! Sorry to bother, was just wondering if you could help me improve my writing skills for the DataLand page? Would really need help with creation of multiple pages.

Benjiebj (talk) 00:33, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Benjiebj, The issue here isn't so much with your writing skills, but with the subject itself. There are tens of millions of businesses. We have to have some way to determine which ones to cover, which is our notability guideline. Only businesses that have been covered in multiple, reliable, and independent secondary sources may be included. It seems that Dataland does not meet that requirement. In terms of your writing, you should take care to write from a neutral point of view. The current article reads like a promotion. It has too many peacocking words. Non-neutral phrases include "expertise is complemented and enhanced ", "Backed by the solid reputation", "strategically located and envisioned" and many others.

00:42:19, 5 November 2019 review of draft by Nobo71


Just asking, I know that I need more sources. But I would like to know if that is the main reason why it isn't accepted at the moment. I understand that it is not ready. But is it on a positive way to be included? Could it be rated from 1-10 on how good it is at the moment as 1 being bad and 10 being great? Thanks, I would appreacite it.

Nobo71-Wikipedia.org 00:42, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

@Nobo71: - so it's not a quality of editing issue, so ranking 1-10 doesn't really make sense (layout and such is fine). It's the lack of suitable sourcing that's the issue. Almost all of your sources are tweets or from Sequester Access. You need several (3 is good) sources that are: in-depth, independent (no reason to be biased and generally no interviews), reliable (good editorial control) and secondary (newspapers, etc). Canyon News might be a decent source (it's not playing well with my laptop), but try finding a couple more reviews from other publications. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:32, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

KBSKasyap, This seems to be an average person, like you or I. There is no assertion of their notability, i.e. the reason they should have an article.

I'm not sure how to proceed with this article, I think the concept has received considered academic and press attention under this title, as you can see at Draft_talk:Blue_space. I can find more if necessary. Do they need to be cited in the article to pass WP:NEO or is their existence sufficient?

Hello K.e.coffman. I would like to know the reason why this topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. What would qualify the individual for a page on Wikipedia?

21:33:55, 5 November 2019 review of submission by Frakes928


I have listened to many user's suggestions and went through to remove externals links and move them to an external links section of the article. I have also cites references to substantiate the news with specific articles. Frakes928 (talk) 21:33, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Frakes928, There are only two sources. To be notable, a source usually needs, at a minimum, at least 3 sources that are reliable, independent, and discuss the subject with significant coverage. The subject of the draft does not seem to meet those requirements. If you can find three good sources, feel free to add them here and ping me using {{ping|CaptainEek}}. If not, the subject is likely not notable. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 02:07, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

03:49:18, 6 November 2019 review of draft by EMU FAM


I just would like to confirm that my article Draft:Branches school camp is not valid for submission due to it being too minor a topic worthy of its own Wikipedia article. And secondly, ask why I wasn't notified earlier when I had submitted the article on two other occasions that this article wasn't valid for publishing, I just ended up wasting a lot of time. - EMU FAM 6/11/2019 16:49 GMT+13 EMU FAM (talk) 03:49, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

EMU FAM, I think it is not worthy of a standalone article, as it is not notable. Any such information could just be merged into the school itself. An editor did warn you initially that the article might not be notable. But we generally don't just tell people to stop initially, we give them the benefit of the doubt. Oftentimes, articles that do not appear notable at the first review turn out to be notable after draftees find new sources. Alas, the opposite has happened to you. Even experienced editors have had that happen to them. Such are the travails of creating articles from scratch, and is a reason we often recommend new editors first edit existing articles to get a feel for things. But feel free to work on expanding the Wakatipu High School article, or any article that interest you! If you'd like further guidance before creating a future draft, you may wish to ask here first to see if the subject might be notable. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 04:08, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 04:28:08, 6 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by GouravSWS



GouravSWS (talk) 04:28, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GouravSWS, Lot of issues here. For starters, the lead seems to be a copyright violation. The tone is also highly promotional. There aren't enough sources. And no proof of notability. It just seems to be an ad, not an entry in an encyclopedia. To fix that, you must make the tone neutral, and find better sources. Also do not copy and past material into an article from an outside source, as that breaks copyright law. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 03:47, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

06:41:54, 6 November 2019 review of submission by TheAlexCohen

I would like to know why this was rejected? Was it simply because there was not enough information on the life of Alexander Cohen because my whole purpose of publishing this page was for it to go public and edit as long as it is public. Please let me know what I can do to grant the Great Alexander Cohen a Wikipedia page

TheAlexCohen (talk) 06:41, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TheAlexCohen, Well one of the issues here is that you seem to be Cohen, or at least are closely connected. Note that we strongly discourage people from creating autobiographies. That would represent a conflict of interest, which requires certain disclosures (please click on the link and read what those disclosures are).
The main issue is that Cohen is just an average person like you or I. I don't have a page about myself, and neither do most folks. Only people who have received coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources (think articles in the New York Times) are considered "notable" and can have articles.

08:27:57, 6 November 2019 review of draft by Khanadilaltaf


I had submitted this article for publishing and it was marked for speedy deletion. I have removed the objections and have checked it with Citation Bot as well as DAB solver for any problems. It is the perception of the deleting editor that I am trying to promote the pages cited, but I declare unequivocally that I neither have any connection or financial interest with sources cited. It is a new topic that the public should be aware of and only manufacturers of the product have published anything citable on the subject. Thus, I am left with the choice of either publishing them as citation or no citations at all.

Khanadilaltaf (talk) 08:27, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Khanadilaltaf, If a subject has not been covered by reliable sources, it is not notable, i.e. it is not fit for coverage. While the subject may be interesting, if it has not meet the WP:GNG it does not require an article. While perhaps not promoting any one thing or product, the tone is definitely promotional. Ensure that the tone is neutral. Ultimately: find at least 3 reliable, independent sources. If such sources cannot be found, the subject is likely not notable.

This is a translated version from arabic wikipedia and article is based on a living person, who is a minister in united arab emirates

Qowa (talk) 11:43, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Qowa, You've stumbled upon the problem: he is a living person. Per WP:BLP, that means that the sourcing requirements are strict. The article has insufficient inline sources. It also does not have enough sources to show that he is notable per WP:BIO. The part about "has many identities" strikes me as odd too, perhaps a mistranslation? If not, that requires a very good source. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 03:37, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

14:10:36, 6 November 2019 review of submission by Alexander Andronkin

I have written the page content following your guidelines, and mirroring other pages which have been accepted by your platform. So I cannot see why you continue to reject my submission. Please can you give me specific pointers of what you would like me to add or remove, thank you. Or please give me the contact details of a managing editor to look into why I continue to be rejected when my content is the same or better than other Wiki pages, currently it seems unreasonably unfair. Alexander Andronkin (talk) 14:10, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander Andronkin, There are no managing editors, we are all volunteers committed to building an encyclopedia. You might wish to read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS to understand why comparing your content to other content is a logical fallacy. Just because an article exists does not mean it passes muster. Many bad articles were created before the Articles for Creation process became standard, and have evaded detection. If you find an article that seems unfair, let us know and we'll take a look at it, as it likely does not meet policy either.
The company you are writing about is likely not notable. Only companies that have been covered in multiple reliable and independent sources can have articles. The sources shown did not meet that standard. Additionally, articles do not promote their subjects, Wikipedia is not an ad platform. Furthermore, if you are employed by SSLS, have a financial stake in the company, or have been paid by them in any way to write that article, you MUST disclose that per WP:PAID.

Zippylips (talk) 14:10, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zippylips, The issue here seems to be notability. I am unsure if they meet WP:BIO. Usually, that means at least 3 sources that are reliable, independent, and discuss the subject with significant coverage. If you believe you have 3 sources, you may wish to add them here . If you do not have 3 sources that meet WP:BIO, please look for more. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 03:34, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Leporeanto, Howdy hello! Who would you like to write a biography about? Please note, autobiographies, and biographies of people you know personally, are strongly discouraged per WP:COI.

Hi, I'm requesting some help to be able to resubmit this article about author Miquel Reina. I recently got the message that the article was declined because the references I used were not enough. Can you please Google the author? He is a well-known author in many countries so I'm not sure what could I do to fix the article. Thanks.

Josanva (talk) 23:46, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Josanva, You've stumbled upon to the answer to your query: Google. If you can google and find him, you should be able to find reliable sources. Generally, a biography (per WP:BIO) requires at least 3 reliable, independent sources, that discuss the subject with significant coverage. Think of news stories, being written about in books, magazines, newspapers, etc. The article as is does not seem to have 3 sources that meet the requirements of WP:BIO, or the specific criteria WP:NAUTHOR (which is usually stricter than the normal bio requirement).

Request on 09:45:12, 7 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Salahuddin Ahmed Azad


Why my page titled Keith Sutliff isn't published? I've provided enough references and information. But why is it still in draft?

Salahuddin Ahmed Azad (talk) 09:45, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Salahuddin Ahmed Azad. The draft has not been published for three reasons:
  1. IMDb, being user-generated, is not a reliable source. I see nothing to suggest that Mixcloud is a reliable and independent source. Indie Activity is a primary source interview without analysis by the interviewer. It is not independent. The Los Angeles Times is the only independent, reliable, secondary source. Novice editors are commonly advised to provide at least three such sources.
  2. The draft fails to objectively summarize significant viewpoints on the subject. It describes the reviews of Refuge as mixed, but the only review cited is negative.
  3. In a biography of a living person, you can expect that almost every statement about them is likely to be challenged, but the bulk of the draft has no inline citations.

I am not sure what I need to do to submit it. It's been sitting there a few weeks. Any advice you can give would be helpful. Thanks! - Tandy Warnow Tandy (talk) 03:10, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

03:18:36, 8 November 2019 review of submission by Tandy

I got a response to my earlier inquiry from Longhair (about the page I had written for Karrie Karahalios). I had declared the conflict of interest, based on both being in the same department. I thought that the declaration would allow Wikipedia to *evaluate* the suggested page on its merits. It seems, based on the response from Longhair, that perhaps Wikipedia will not even consider it, because of the conflict of interest? I am not sure how to interpret the response in some other way. If that is the answer, then I would respectfully request that Wikipedia write a page about Karrie Karahalios. By the way, she was just elected a Distinguished Member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), so she really *is* a distinguished researcher. In any event, some clear instruction would help. Tandy (talk) 03:18, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tandy. Editors are discouraged from creating articles about colleagues, but it is not forbidden. If you are going to do it despite being advised against it, then you are going about it in the right way - declaring your conflict of interest and putting the page through Articles for creation. To have Draft:Karrie Karahalios reviewed for publication, click the blue "Submit your draft for review!" button in the large grey box at the top of the draft. The review process is highly backlogged, so it may take 4-5 months. If it is declined, then consider asking at Requested articles that an uninvolved editor write a biography of her, identifying for them which criteria of WP:PROF she meets, and supplying sources that prove it. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:59, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

11:19:58, 8 November 2019 review of draft by MayWiki1


My article was rejected due to lack of resource ('Needs more references with significant in-depth coverage about the subject himself that are not primary sources.") and I've added additional sources but not sure what more is needed?

Thanks

MayWiki1 (talk) 11:19, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MayWiki1, The issue here is that the existing sources talk more about Barretts company, and very little about Barret. Clearly his company is notable, and has an article. But you need sources that focus on Barrett if he is to have his own article. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 14:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

E-commerce platform is one on the requested articles on Wikipedia. And it is not a link farm to the sites you mentioned, I took the idea and concept from that site. Everyone doesn't know everything, so other sources are necessary for the article. Please review again.

Smitpshah17 (talk) 12:31, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Smitpshah17, Howdy hello! I personally agree with K.e.coffman. There is already an article on e commerce, which is somewhat lacking as is. If you wish, you might compress your article down to a section and add it to the existing article. While it may have been a requested article, not all requested articles are destined to become actual articles. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 14:31, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

16:32:19, 8 November 2019 review of submission by Omartaw

I'd like to post this article about DJS (UK) Limited, from what I can see the sources were reliable and independent. Is there something that specifically needs referencing better? Omartaw (talk) 16:32, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Omartaw. The notability guidelines for companies explicitly exclude, as trivial coverage, inclusion in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists. Mentioning such things and non-notable business awards and accolades makes the draft come across as highly promotional and rather desperate. Other cited sources lack significant coverage. The Independent, for example, only mentions PiggyBank in passing as the commissioner of a study.
Most businesses are not notable. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:29, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking to see why my article was denied. I know I shouldn't base my argument on other articles but I see other players with their own article who are not as "notable" and haven't had as much press coverage. Is there any way I could get help making this distinction? I'd appreciate the help.

Thank you!

As indicated when it was denied, Baseball players are considered Notable if they have played in an MLB game. Johnny is still at single A.

Your draft has zero sources, notability is judged by looking at the depth of coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources, we have no interest in what the company says about itself.

There is nothing to indicate that it would pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) either. Theroadislong (talk) 18:28, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to wiki and I just wanted to list a new museum but the link I used to cite from yahoo news was rejected so I used another link which was already approved on the Patpong page. Is there anything else I should do to get my submission through? Many thanks

TobyBK (talk) 07:53, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TobyBK. Wikipedia covers topics that have attracted significant attention from the world at large and over a period of time. It is unlikely that a museum which opened last month would be able to demonstrate such coverage. Creating a new article is one of the most difficult, frustrating, and time consuming tasks a new editor can attempt. You will find it easier if you spend a while editing existing articles to gain familiarity with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you aren't sure where to start, see Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:42, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I created a page for martial artist Rika Ishige here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rika_Ishige

I first want to say thanks for taking the time to look it over.

But I have a few questions:

1. I never said she was a mixed martial artist, I said she was a martial artist.

2. She already has a Thai version of her page here: https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/ริกะ_อิชิเกะ

So why can't I create an English version?

Looking forward to your reply.

Best,

John


Thanks for your help.

@JohnWolcott: - hi there. I'm not a specialist in MMA notability, but it's worth reading the specific comment made by your reviewer. They indicated:
"Please read the guidelines at the link below and show how Ishige meets the requirements - 3 fights in a top tier MMA competition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mixed_martial_arts/MMA_notability#Fighters "

Also, through the gallery on Dr.Jaitley's website (https://drjaitley.net/), it's evident to anyone as to who he is.

You're regarding this as "unsourced" puffery because I don't have any ONLINE sources supporting what has been written. So, kindly suggest ways I should be able to conform to Wikipedia's rules, which can also help me accomplish my goal. Drjaitley (talk) 13:49, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The puffery includes "widely known""continuously aiding" "over fourteen thousand hours of flying time as a commercial pilot." "continued his day and night efforts to strengthen" " strongly facilitated" "relentlessly encouraged" "outstanding commitment and dedicated leadership" " tireless efforts" "inspirational and role mode" "recognized and appreciated" " promoting his greater form of understanding" none of this is sourced and is all promotional puffery, totally inappropriate in tone for an encyclopaedia article.

Firstly Sir/Ma'am, this is written by myself and ofcourse if these extra phrases, to Wikipedia, seems in any way "puffery" please feel free to do way with them, because my objective is just to be able to make Dr.Jaitley known to a larger audience through Wikipedia. And, this is unequivocally "puffery" because according to Wikipedia it isn't a reliable source, and it will be until it's "proved" otherwise. And, I have supporting material that indeed proves that all of these are true, but unfortunately, they're not online-based. So, again, I'm asking you Sir/Ma'am, how should I be able to submit them?

Request on 15:57:44, 11 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by TaingrayAngus


I have attempted to create an article on Gizzen Briggs, a local traditional music group based in Tain Royal Academy in Highland, Scotland. The reviewer has pointed out that I should have declared an interest. I am not a member of the group, but I was a colleague of the adults who created and manage it. First question: I have never created an article before and I would like to know if this disqualifies me in this situation.

I was unsure whether the group was sufficiently notable, but I felt that it had been unusually influential in launching the careers of many highly successful young traditional musicians. Indeed, one member of the group mentioned in the article has recently been announced as one of the Saltire Society's "2019 Outstanding Women of Scotland". I used footnotes to register the significance of various people mentioned in my article, but I see now that the footnotes need to show recognition of the significance of Gizzen Briggs and most of mine should be deleted as serving no purpose. Second question: If I could find a record of one of the high profile former members of the group being interviewed and acknowledging the influence of Gizzen Briggs in their careers, would this be the sort of thing required? (I should say that I have not seen such evidence, but I suspect that it may exist.)

The group has had mentions in various newspapers, generally of a local nature. The Ross-shire Journal has contained many reports over the years of concerts the group has given and awards they have received. Third question: Am I right in thinking that local press such as The Ross-shire Journal would not be considered a sufficiently weighty publication to be referenced?

I will continue to look for more convincing evidence of the notability of Gizzen Briggs, but I must recognise the possibility that the group and its achievements are simply not sufficiently notable for Wikipedia.

Meantime, I would be grateful for your clarification on my three questions above. Thank you very much. Angus Gray

17:26:12, 11 November 2019 review of draft by Iorek100


Hi - I'm unclear how a proposed page on what amounts to a philosophical/pedagogic principle can be written in a way that does not 'sound like an essay' (which is the reason given for the rejection of this proposed page). The concept of the least dangerous assumption needs adding to wikipedia because its existence, meaning, and implications need documenting in an encyclopedia (i.e. it's a concept that needs logging). For example, in what ways is the page on Geragogy[1] (arbitrary choice of comparison page!) different to what I have drafted, other than that the Geragogy page is mostly in bullet form (which is less essay like)?

I'd like to get this page established somehow, because it's an important thing, so any help you can give would be much appreciated.

thanks!
