02:44:13, 11 December 2019 review of submission by Frakes928


Found and added a number of citations highlighting both music ensembles and solo work for Tite's career Frakes928 (talk) 02:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Frakes928. Discogs and last.fm, being user-generated, are not reliable sources. Celebrityaccess appears to be a press release. The three newspaper articles either don't mention Groce / Tite, or mention him only in passing. Apple and cduniverse are indiscriminate, so they don't help demonstrate notability either. All in all, I concur with the reviewer that the subject is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). --Worldbruce (talk) 15:20, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

04:31:00, 11 December 2019 review of submission by Epiphyllumlover


Epiphyllumlover (talk) 04:31, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I found some reliable sources not yet mentioned in the article, but a reviewer put on a "Stop" button that I believe was unwarranted. How can I get the stop button removed from the article so I can continue to improve the article with the additional sources for eventual re-submission? For reference and a listing of the additional sources, see the end of the discussion on User_talk:RoySmith#Lutheran_Indian_Ministries, the new ones are the books by Wengert and Atkins, and the article in the star phoenix. Thank you for your consideration.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 04:31, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Epiphyllumlover. After declines by 8 different reviewers in 21 months, rejection of the draft is meant to convey that reviewers do not intend to evaluate it again. Under these circumstances, continuing to re-submit it might be construed as tendentious editing. However, unless you have a conflict of interest or are editing under some form of sanctions, Articles for Creation is an optional process for you. If you disagree with the advice of experienced editors, you may move the draft to article space and let it sink or swim there. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:56, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks...I have some experience in AfD and am about 90% sure it would survive a deletion attempt if I improved it first. I resubmitted it without modification all of those times because in reading the comments left by the reviewers it was evident that they did not evaluate all of the sources. Maybe half of the sources are not third party--this is an obvious obstacle to reviewers. They probably thought all of the sources were inadequate just because the first ones they looked at were. Also, I was of the impression that there was no limit to the number of times I could request a review--I was evidently wrong on that.
I am not under sanctions, and do not have a COI, as I am not a member of any organization connected to the one mentioned in the article.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 00:36, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

08:28:09, 11 December 2019 review of draft by 84.46.52.229

Could somebody with admin rights please "add" (=history merge) the deleted (expired PROD 2016) Kim Iverson with an o to this draft with an e? The birth date on d:Q6408835 needs a better reference than imported from a deleted enwiki page, and I'd like to know which of many US radio stations were considered as "notable" on the deleted page. While at it please also check File:Kim-041.jpg, maybe it can be recycled with a "move to commons".

I will look into the history merge. In future please make such requests at WP:REFUND. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 15:28, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have done the history merge, and restored content and a photo from the previously deleted version. Please have a look. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:56, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@DESiegel: ^.^b I'm aware of WP:REFUND, but the o vs. e issue could have killed the e draft instead of rescuing the o history—or rather, that's what I feared, because it was all backwards. –84.46.53.86 (talk) 10:28, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The sources seem pretty clear that it is the same person, and notability now seems clear, so i did the refund, integrated to old info, and approved the draft. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 15:08, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

08:58:38, 11 December 2019 review of submission by Jordifernanjo


Good morning, As I told you few days ago, I need to have this article published before Christmas. I don’t understand why it is rejected and what should I do to publish it. I would be glad if you could help me.

Regards, Jordi

Jordifernanjo (talk) 08:58, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jordifernanjo: As the reviewer remarked, the draft has no suitable sources for establishing notability and will not be published in its current state. Since you didn't add any such sources after two reviews, we can only assume there are none and reviewer's decision to decline the article is correct at this time. Unless the game receives coverage such as in-depth reviews from sources such as those listed here, I'm afraid there really isn't anything you can do to have it published. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and we rely on sources. I don't know why you need to have this article published before Christmas, but this isn't a criteria we would use for deciding on content to include (if you happen to have connection with the subject matter, you must disclose it). —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 10:51, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

10:43:28, 11 December 2019 review of submission by Jakeswit

I am working to be included on Wikipedia. As I see it, many of my contemporary theatre artists are portrayed with links to their work, their reviews and their webpages. I have worked with some of the most regarded directors in Europe and feel that it is time to be included in this list. I understand if I am not allowed to write an article about myself, but would like to know how to get included on Wikipedia. Can you help me?

Being an established writer does not necessarily mean you are notable I'm afraid. Your draft Draft:Reuven Wimmer has no independent sources so no chance whatsoever of being accepted. Wikipedia has no interest in what the articles subject wants to say about himself, only what reliable sources have reported.You will need to declare your conflict of interest too.

Request on 20:28:44, 11 December 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Jingleman2


"This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified."

NBC, The TENNESSEAN, The WILSON, THE VOICE, are ALL reliable sources. I looked at 10 different articles, cut and paste exactly as they did theirs and you are rejecting? Sundance Head, Frank Sims, etc... Please explain and do I delete citations, or just get someone else to review?


Jingleman2 (talk) 20:28, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jingleman2. I rather suspect that the reveiwer looked only at the sources used as inline citations. of those, the allmusic and discogs souces are mere track listings with no detailed coverage at all. Moreover, some editors question the reliability of Discogs in any case. The Two NBC.com sources go to pages no longer on display, so there is effectively no source for either of those. The popvortex source is blocked by my firewall as unsafe, so i cannot evaluate it. The 7th cited source is a wiki, and is therefor not reliable and should be removed.
Of the general references not used in the draft as inline cites, The Tennessean articel is faitrly good, althoguh it is partly an interview, which reduces its value. The 2paragraphs source is a bit brief to count as "in depth" coverage, but has some value. The Wilsomn Post seems to be local hometown coverage, and so of limited value. The Idol Chatter source seems not bad, although perhaps a bit superficial. Also i don;'t know that site or how reliable it is considered. The Chronicle Of Mt Juliet is a deaad link at elast for me -- an archived version might be found, I don't have time to look just now. In any case it looks like another case of local hometown reporting. Channel 10 News looks not bad, but again in significant part an interview. And finally there is another wiki, which is again of no use and should be removed promptly.
If the non-local sources from the second group are used in-line, and one or two more on the level of the Tennessean are also added and used, or if the NBC sources can be recorved from an archive site, things might be in pretty good shape.

22:05:14, 11 December 2019 review of submission by DougHill

Allen Estrin is clearly notable as the co-creator of PragerU. Whatever one may think of PragerU, it's one of the biggest (if not the biggest) providers of political videos on the internet. And if one looks at the sources cited, one can see that PragerU would not exist if it were not for Estrin. (I added a new one, but the pre-existing ones already establish this.) One criticism is that the independent articles cited are not directly about Estrin. This is true, but Estrin is not the public face of PragerU, Dennis Prager is. Can a key person in a major enterprise, but not out in front of it, be notable?

Thanks in advance for replies, and thanks for the quick turnaround so far. DougHill (talk) 22:05, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

if one looks, none of the sources are independent coverage. I would expect someone applying for AFC to understand that interviews, Amazon and listing aren’t valid sources. Praxidicae (talk) 00:59, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Aren't Mother Jones and Daily Signal independent coverage? (Even if they interview their subjects as part of their story?) Of course PragerU is extremely dependent, but that link does show that he's a co-founder. (The other links just show that he did indeed write or do the things the article credits him for.) DougHill (talk) 01:27, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
DougHill The Mother Jones piece is indeed significant independant coverage, with a though article about Estrin and his work before the interview section starts. Two more like this and i would approve the draft. Praxidicae should probably have noted that. The Daily Signal piece is a more traditional interview, where more than half of the content comes from the subject. But it is unlike the classic interview, wheer a reporter asks short questions and the subject gives long answers. Those are not considered independent here, because all the significant information is in the words of the subject. The Daily Signal story has significant editotrial content in the reporter's voice, i would count it as perhaps 1/2 of the usual three essential sources. As to the other cited sources:
  • The first is from his business, PragerU, clearly not independent and too breif to be of much value even if it were. Does nothign for notability.
  • The moviews.disney is just an announcement of a production, and does not even mention Estrin . It should be removced from the draft as of no value whatever.
  • The LA times review would be of value in an article about the film Bare Essentials but it again does not even mention Estrin 's name.
  • The 7thart piece very breifly describes a production by Estrin, and does mention his name, but does not help the case for notability. It also looks as if it is largely based on a press release, but even if it is independant, it is not significant coverage.
  • The Amazon listing should be removed promptly. An OCLC or google book link, or even jsut the title, publisher, date and ISBN are enough to support a statement that the book exoists and Estrin was a co-author. An actual independent reveiw of the book might contribute to notability under WP:NAUTHOR. This does not.
I hope that makes things a bit clearer. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 15:07, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks DES for your clarity and courtesy. Since then, we've added and removed some sources. Some of the previous sources were included just to support facts and not notability. I felt embarrassed to read that I'd included sources from disney and LA Times that don't list Estrin. So I rechecked, and they do mention Estrin and the roles the article attributes to him. So I've left those sources in. The amazon link was also just to verify a fact, but it's now replaced with a review, which supports the fact and contributes to notability. We've also added a review and a mention of a book he co-wrote.
We've added some more news articles also. So I hope you'll take another look, and advise us what the draft might still need to satisfy notability. If we're not close, we might consider redirecting the article to PragerU#History. If we do so, we should include some comments in the redirect code about what an article would need before the redirect is replaced. DougHill (talk) 06:37, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks DES for offering to take another look. Here are the cited sources which IMHO best speak to notability.

Thanks in advance, DougHill (talk) 20:28, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information, DougHill I will take a look. I note tha tin your post above dated 12 January 2020 you write: Since then, we've added and removed some sources and We've added some more news articles and So I hope you'll take another look, and advise us.

Lately "we" is mostly me, but I did not start the draft. It has had several contributors, including at least one other lately. But I think I found all the sources listed above. (I think of Wikipedia pages, including drafts, as the collective efforts they are. So that's how I wrote.) DougHill (talk) 21:16, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

23:05:52, 11 December 2019 review of submission by Creators Robot

I have found this book is registered in the Google Books database. As an editor, we are always taught to find out reliable sources and google books is one of those. The book has also got ISBN number which is very necessary to provide the notability of a book. So, I believe this book has got enough notability to be listed in the Wikipedia. Thank you. Creators Robot (talk) 23:05, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty much any published book will be on Google books and have an ISBN. To show notability, cite some reviews of the book or news about it. DougHill (talk) 00:07, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

04:51:06, 12 December 2019 review of submission by Chrisanna Jolly


I would like to re-submit this article because this person is very well known in Telecom (VAS- Value Added Service) in Myanmar. He has a lot of operator experiences and he has many friends/colleagues in Telecom field. Even not in Myanmar Country, he is also famous among foreign Telecom countries. Some of the journalist/reporter offer to interview him but he rejected. According to his nature, he don't want rose to fame among people. So, I want to do this article about him, aim that the other people can search easily about Zat's information. If other foreign Telecom company that want to invest in Myanmar can know/search about his information, it may become good effective on both side.


Chrisanna Jolly (talk) 04:51, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Chrisanna Jolly. None of the sources now cited in the drat comes anywhere close to demonstrating the notability of Zay Yar Phyo. The reviewer, Theroadislong did a "rejection" not a mere "decline" meanign that the reviewer does not think any amount of editing would demonstrae notability of this person, and you should not waste your time or that of future reviewers. What would be needed to demonstrate notability is multiple independent published reliable sources, at least three of them, each of which discusses Zay Yar Phyo in some detail. See our guideline on notability for people. How many friends Zay Yar Phyo has, or what he has accomplished. Nor is Wikipedia interested in helping publicize him to potential investors or business associates. An ordinary web page would serve that function. Nor do interviews, even if he were to do them, help much. Interviews show what he says about himself. Wikipedia needs to know what other people, people who are not friends, family, or close associates, have already published about Zay Yar Phyo in reliable sources. Unless there is enough of that to base an article on, this will not go forward. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 14:29, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In fact the current cited soiurces are his linked-in page, his email, and a document from his employer, if I mam reading it correctly. None of these are independent, and the first two would not even belong in any Wkipedia article about him as supporting sources, even if good reliable sources were found.

(edit conflict)@Texas Black Walnut: See Help:Referencing for beginners for how to cite sources. (All sources are external, since Wikipedia, being user-generated, is not a reliable source). Sources need not be online. When referencing a source, there should always be a bibliographic description of it, but there may or may not be a URL link to it.

Request on 16:59:56, 12 December 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by AlliePippy


I have tried twice to get an article for a band, that I'm a big fan of, published. I added more references the second time, as that's what I translated the reason for the first rejection to be. The second rejection says it doesn't meet the criteria. However, when I read the criteria, the band does meet it.

The list Criteria for musicians and ensembles has 12 points that the band must meet at least one of. The band, I am trying to create the article for, meets several. I thought I had gotten this across in my article, but perhaps I haven't?

Could use some clear direction, and layman's terms preferred, as I find the responses that Wikipedia sends back a bit like trying to decipher legal jargon. I appreciate any time and help you can give to help me get this article published, as I feel this band deserves some notoriety.

Kind Regards, Allie

AlliePippy (talk) 16:59, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't made clear which of the criteria at WP:NMUSIC this band meets? You only have one source which looks reliable to me which is [1] Facebook, Spotify and their own website do not contribute to notability. Theroadislong (talk) 17:09, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @AlliePippy: The criteria you mention at WP:NBAND are not strict rules. Firstly, WP:GNG is the "king" for determining presumed notability. The band criteria simply help narrow and slightly expand these based on years of consensus and experience with other articles. The key introductory sentence says that the subject "may be notable" not that it definitely will be. If you don't have multiple reliable independent sources, then it mostly doesn't matter what additional criteria are met from supplementary notability guidelines for specific subject areas, because we can't write enough content using proper source. From those in the draft, [2] looks okayish, but short and focused on one event, while half the content is by the band themselves. May be [3] could be suitable if you can show that author's credentials as an established reliable reviewer. All the rest of the sources fail one of more criteria from WP:GNG. Also, can you specify exactly which NBAND criteria does this pass in your opinion? —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 17:17, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]


@Hellknowz:@Theroadislong:Thanks for the feedback. More questions...
  1. 5Has 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).

--They produced 2 albums with Linus Entertainment. My understanding is that Linus is a more important indie label.

  1. 10Has 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).

-- Here is a list of where their music has been featured and used very prominently. The links to articles I included, talk about many of these. Outer Limits (television) Smallville (television) EA MLS Soccer (video game) Triple Play MLB (video game) SSX Tricky (video game) WWE Day of Reckoning (video game) Molson Canadian (national ad) Ford Canada (national ad) Vancouver Canucks (game play) Minnesota Wild (game play) Vancouver Giants (entrance theme) Jet Boy (motion picture) A Bug and a Bag of Weed (motion picture) CBC Hockey Night in Canada CFL Football TSN TSN Hockey Theme Musique Plus Intro Fox Sports

  1. 11Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.

--Their music was on major radio stations in the past. Their new song is now being played on The Bear.

Why are the interview/articles I provided links to, not eligible? Aren't Allmusic.com with Artist Biography by Jason MacNeil, last.fm/music/shocore/+wik, Piquenewsmagazine.com, all credible?

[User:AlliePippy|AlliePippy]] (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:46, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AlliePippy. You may be able to make an argument that Linus Entertainment is a more important indie label. It wouldn't have counted as one when it released ShoCore's first album, because the label had just been formed that year, but now nine of the first ten artists they list on their roster are notable.
If ShoCore's albums are what make them notable, then you're burying the lead. The first two sentences of the draft do a good job of establishing context: what, where, who. But they should also explain why the topic is notable, e.g. "... known for releasing two albums on label Linus Entertainment."
The draft's independent sources don't support their music being in rotation on a major network or performed for a work of media that is notable. With better sources you might be able to make a case for these criteria or others.
Last.fm, being user-generated, is not a reliable source. The allmusic biography is independent and reliable, but at under 100 words, it's really short. Pique is reliable. Whether it is independent depends on how strictly one interprets the exclusion "except for the following: ... publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves". Some reviewers may also discount it because it's a small town outlet with a limited audience. An article in the Vancouver Sun or The Globe and Mail would carry more weight. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources for a list of sources Wikipedians have found useful in writing about albums and musicians. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:29, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, we are attempting to create a page for a national startup accelerator event named CodeLaunch. CodeLaunch is a non-profit organization that hosts an annual competition among startup organizations from all over the world where applicants pitch their idea to a review panel, an audience, and a handful of qualified judges.

There are no independent sources, and no indications of significance much less notability. As far as one can tell from this draft, this person is simply not notable. See our guideline on the notability of people. Unless there are additional facts, and independent reliable sources supporting those facts, and discussing this person in depth there simply will not be an article about this person, and trying to create one by editing without those facts and sources simply wastes everyone's time.

05:16:46, 14 December 2019 review of submission by Nikhilpriyatam


Hello,

Thanks for reviewing the article. I would like to request a re-review of this article for the following reasons.

  • I feel the subject is notable as he has been awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award by Government of India, which is the highest Indian recognition, given to an artist.
  • In this article, I have included only few awards which the subject has won. I am collecting suitable references for about 30 more awards and honours which were bestowed upon the subject, which affect the notability criteria.
  • The article under consideration states facts with appropriate citations. It does not use "peacock language" unlike the earlier version.
  • The number of references might seem low as I have not included those references which do not add significant new information and those which are not in English language. Also, I have only added citations which are accessible through Internet. There are a lot of articles on this subject in the print media which I do not have access to. I am assuming the community will contribute to this article significantly.
  • While, I understand that "Notability" is a subjective matter, I do believe there needs to be some standardisation with respect to this parameter. There exist Wikipedia articles on Indian classical musicians such as Neyveli Santhanagopalan, Pantula Rama who according to my understanding have similar notability as the subject of this article.

Thanks Nikhil


Nikhilpriyatam (talk) 05:16, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nikhilpriyatam. As a recipient of the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, Ramaswamy is likely notable according to WP:ANYBIO. Piling on less important awards will not make notability more certain. On the contrary, it is likely to obscure his notability by burying what is significant in a mass of things that are not. I've tweaked the first sentence to provide context and emphasize the apex award.
The draft comes across as promotional despite your conviction that it avoids peacock language. This may be due partly to cultural differences between South Asia and the West. It may also be due to a lack of context and attribution. One source says "He was an A-grade staff artiste of the All-India Radio, Vijayawada, from 1948 to 1986, before retiring." Readers outside Andhra Pradesh may not know Vijayawada, let alone the significance of being "A-grade". Another source lists him as one of several hundred "Top Grade Artistes" in the category of Carnatic musicians, giving 1988 as the date the grade was awarded. At a minimum, the draft should attribute the opinion, such as: "All India Radio ranked him as a top grade Carnatic musician from 1988". And since the significance is unclear (is the grade based on seniority, talent, or what?) it may be better to omit it entirely.
If you make an effort to address the promotional tone, context, and attribution, then you may resubmit the draft by adding {{subst:submit}} to the top of it. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:10, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ashish Vaidyanath Dwivedi. User:Ashish Vaidyanath Dwivedi/sandbox was declined because the subject is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). That is commonly true for student wing or other politicians below the level of state-wide or national office (e.g. Maharashtra Legislative Assembly or Lok Sabha), although major local political figures like the Mayor of Mumbai are notable if they have received significant press coverage. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:18, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PINGGPONGG, for anything to have a Wikipedia article it needs significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the topic. The article should be based entirely on what these sources say, without anything based on personal knowledge. This is so the contents of the article can be verified.

Winston16 (talk) 10:39, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

None of the new sources appear to be significant coverage. The closest is the Tugendhaft article, but it says almost nothing about the person and talks mostly about the event. Plus, the newspaper is focused on the subject, so it would have needed to be much more in-depth. The rest are basically profile entries and primary sources where the content is provided by the subject themselves. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 11:19, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For some months I made a real new programming language called: Tyl. I think that software developers of all ages and backgrounds, will have an interest in a new and special programming language. I am not sure that the COI issue is as much relevant to the page because I am not into business or self promotion of any kind, the software is given on a free basis and is intended for anyone who has interest in software languages. If any modifications are needed, or other actions, please let me know. I intend to give this software also for educational purposes to help students and curious people learn other programming languages. As for references or "sources", it is understood that as a new software language, there are none such, and waiting for years will not be good for those who can be interested in the information in the meantime. I wrote an extensive and special informative website as a reference to the programming language. TylLangDev (talk) 17:54, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TylLangDev: Wikipedia only covers subjects that have already received reliable independent secondary source coverage. Without sources, there is no chance that the draft will be accepted, because this would fail the fundamental purpose and pillar of Wikipedia.
