03:22:11, 18 December 2019 review of submission by Cyeks5Om
I believe the page is important because its about a village.
Cyeks5Om (talk) 03:22, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- Cyeks5Om, You will need more than just three references. The existing refs do not cover the subject in enough detail to meet our notability guidelines. You need sources that are reliable, independent, and give significant coverage to the subject. If such sources cannot be found, the subject is not notable. If they can be found, please add them, and drop a note here so that a reviewer can re-activate your submission. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 05:59, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
There is no dispute as far as I can see about notability in the sense that Wong Weng-chi is a publically elected official in a national level election. There is no 'number' of references that qualifies for significant coverage - the reliability and independence of the sources should be taken into account. In this case we are citing national newspapers and his role in the articles is certainly more than a trivial mention. Wong is central to the articles' topic. We also have to take into account that many sources are in Chinese language newspapers that would not be suitable here. The particular elections have attracted a vast deal of attention (as can be seen by the detail to which wiki pages about them have been created such as 2019 Hong Kong local elections) and to the extent of International media coverage. It follows that those who are elected are certainly notable. As far as I can see, the page (now) meets wiki criteria for notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyeks5Om (talk • contribs) 10:02, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- You are basing your rationale on arguments that are not part of Wikipedia's notability guideline. None of the sources in the article qualify for WP:GNG. And there's no rule against non-English sources if you have such. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 10:12, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

I have updated a new reference link. Kindly review it. Indianbeauty (talk) 04:57, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- Indianbeauty, The sourcing is still insufficient. The advice of Theroadislong is correct: the subject is not notable and thus we cannot cover it. I suggest you turn your attention elsewhere on Wikipedia, and edit some existing articles. Making an article from scratch is the hardest thing on Wikipedia, and very few folks succeed on their first go. Editing some other articles will give you a feel for how the place works. If you have questions about Wikipedia or on where else to edit, you are welcome to ask them at the friendly Teahouse. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 05:56, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Wikidevster (talk) 05:18, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- Wikidevster, It needs sources and prose. You seem to be writing about an album, thus I suggest you read Contra (album) for an example of how an article about an album ought be written. Currently you have no sources (see how to properly add references at referencing for beginners). Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 05:51, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Bandaru Danaiah kavi garu (talk) 11:56, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Bandaru Danaiah kavi garu: As the reason stated and linked to, the subject does not meet the notability threshold. You need multiple reliable independent in-depth sources that cover the subject.

My article was request was denied because it says it looks like a copy of this link: https://github.com/YetiForceCompany/YetiForceCRM/issues/11680, but that link contains no information in my article, and is about a completely different subject area.

02:13:42, 19 December 2019 review of submission by Aganija05
Hi. I got my article declined because of refrencing issues, but I got that fixed. I used reliable sources, such as the bands credits on album releases and their bio on their record label's website. I want to resubmit it. Even though it's sort of a stub, I'm proud of it. Could you tell me how to resubmit my draft? Thanks. Aganija05 (talk) 02:13, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Aganija05: You can just click the blue Resubmit button. However, it will get declined again for the same reason, and probably permanently this time since it likely means you don't have other sources. You need to add sources that meet the threshold of being reliable, independent and in-depth. The previous reviewer already explained this. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 12:01, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, i was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to improve my article ? It's my very first one, so any advice I can use on this one, or any future ones would be very helpful.
Thank you!
Octino (talk) 09:45, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Octino. Rejection is meant to be final, to convey that the topic is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Most businesses are not notable. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. No amount of editing can fix the problem. There is no option to re-submit the draft because volunteers do not intend to review it again.
- You are welcome to write about something else; we have nearly 6 million topics to choose from. If you're only interested in writing new articles about extant companies, you may wish to explore alternative outlets. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:30, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello, i would like to get assistance in order to make the topic more notable for wikipedia. The company i am writing about is pioneering on the swiss market trying to help solve the problem of vacant homes. I understand that perhaps i need to refocus the writing, but i would really appreciate your tips. The idea to add a wiki page came after i saw guestready page on wiki, that is a very simple business and does have an approved page.
Alx27alx (talk) 14:32, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Alx27alx: What you need as a minimum is reliable independent sources that cover the topic in-depth. GuestReady article isn't great, but it has such sources. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:24, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

20:48:16, 19 December 2019 review of submission by TLHistory
I have added more credible sources and added more background information. TLHistory (talk) 20:48, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi TLHistory. The bulk of any article should come from independent, reliable sources. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three such sources. The draft cites one. Find two more, and minimize the use of her and her employer as sources.
- The opinion piece in The New York Times is not a reliable source for facts (it may not be used as a source for "was a founding member ..."). It is reliable only for opinions. Those opinions must be attributed, they may not be stated in Wikipedia's voice ("According to feminist Nona Willis-Aronowitz, Densmore believed ...").
- Remove Prabook. Being user-generated, it is not a reliable source. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:19, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
21:58:31, 19 December 2019 review of draft by Nsomnaik21
- Nsomnaik21 (talk · contribs) (TB)
For niche industries with significant prominence in healthcare (i.e. precision medicine), what are acceptable sources for references? I've written an article citing in-depth articles from prominent third party, industry sources but it was declined with the note that these sources aren't prominent enough. While there are many articles that offer a high-level overview of this industry, company specifics are unlikely to be written up in NYT or WaPo. Given that, what sources would be acceptable? I can also cite scientific journals but most are behind a paywall which I'm trying to avoid. For this article, I followed the rough template offered by The Foundation Medicine article and cited articles from many of the same publications. Guidance is welcome!
Nsomnaik21 (talk) 21:58, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Nsomnaik21. Examples of sources that could demonstrate notability include independent press coverage and analyst reports. The New York Times would be fine. For business coverage, The Wall Street Journal might be even better. Other metropolitan newspapers work too. Often a large paper near the company's headquarters has coverage. Check The Mercury News in San Jose. Academic journals are unlikely to say much about the company unless they're business studies. There is no need to avoid paywalled sources.
- Remove Crunchbase, it is considered generally unreliable, and use of the source is generally prohibited. Although NASDAQ-traded companies are often notable, there is no guarantee that Personalis is. Being public for six months may not be long enough for significant coverage to have developed. You may need to wait a couple of years. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:51, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Even though this is not a notable person, he still has done stuff to the community that not a lot of people have done like raised 1,000+ to charity as well as support most charities through his career.
He also built a supportive community to help other people and much more. 2601:18C:8500:A730:6C45:A793:8137:60E9 (talk) 01:16, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- He may be a cool person, but so are many. But only notable people, those that have been covered by reliable sources, can be in Wikipedia. Not being in Wikipedia isn't the end of the world, most folks don't. I recommend you put this article aside for now, and work on editing existing articles.

- The yellow box at the top of Draft:Luis Peral entitled "Review waiting, please be patient." shows that the draft is in the pool to be reviewed. The current backlog is 4-5 months, so it could take that long. As another reviewer has commented, external links (those that take the reader away from Wikipedia, like Refugee Law Reader) are not allowed in the body of the article.

- Goodarz Irani, For starters, you need more reliable sources, presented as inline references. See referncing for beginners if you need help. At least 3 good sources, preferably more, are needed. The main issue is lack of context. You need additional context to explain to the average person what this is. Most folks don't have in-depth knowledge of Iranian history, and thus have no clue what the article is about. Make it accessible to the average person please.

- Hi Wkpobox. The references are so incomplete that they are unverifiable. Content on discogs.com is user-generated, so that website is not a reliable source. The AllMusic url is a dead link. There is a relevant page on AllMusic, https://www.allmusic.com/artist/ira-ingber-mn0000098637/credits, but it doesn't support the claims about The Knight Before Christmas or Outlander. I suggest you spend some time studying Help:Referencing for beginners and Wikipedia's best articles about musicians. Then build up experience by editing existing articles for a while. After that, if you still want to create a new article, choose a topic with which you do not have a conflict of interest.

Hello,
This article is not an advertisment. What can I change to make this article meet the requirements? I based the article on the Fanki piling system article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franki_piling_system Links and references to official institutions were also added.
Thank you
Vanrumbeke (talk) 12:16, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Vanrumbeke, I would recommend at least one more source, preferably more. You should also to make sure that the writing is neutral, and from an encyclopedic perspective. The Franki pile article is not particularly good. I'm afraid that I can't really hold up an example of a good pile article. But really you just need to make sure that the writing is not overly casual, and presents facts without trying to convince the reader of something. The main reason it looks like an ad is because the main source is from the company that created it, and it seems to be more of a fact sheet of numbers rather than an encyclopedia article.

Also, the draft is written like a promotional puff piece, or an advertisement. Write it from a neutral point of view. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 22:54, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

I would like to get an unbiased review of this page as it seems I cannot get to the current reviewers. They aren't from the US and dont understand the notability of our senior US officials. I have also added dozens of articles including the cover of a business magazine https://issuu.com/businessreviewusa/docs/bc_usa_oct2019. He is literally on the cover. If this isn't notable then we should delete 50 percent of the articles on Wikipedia as most don't have such references. Please let me know what I need to do.
Jeanbernard2019 (talk) 00:23, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Jeanbernard2019. It's a mistake to add "dozens of articles" when a draft needs only three to demonstrate notability. Quality is far more important than quantity. Business Chief, the "business magazine" you link to, employs creatives, producers, and directors, and describes itself as "delivering world-class creative, video, PR and social media content." So no, being on the cover of it (or its sister publication Gigabit Magazine) is not notable. It only demonstrates an embarrassing desperation to promote him. What you need to do first is disclose your conflict of interest. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:02, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
08:08:10, 23 December 2019 review of submission by Editor940
There have been hundreds of news articles on prominent news sites like the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette regarding this situation. For it to be rejected on the basis of it not being a big enough thing is nonsense.
Editor940 (talk) 08:08, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Editor940. If there have been hundreds of news articles about it in reliable sources, then cite three of them, instead of citing three copies of a press release. Don't make any statement about a living person without citing a reliable published source that supports it. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:40, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi. How can I make my article notable? Should references be added for my content?
- Hi Madhunilav. All content must be supported by reliable published sources. Most businesses are not notable. Do you have a connection to Preethi Vijay or Piwocart gallery? If so, you might be able to make the business notable by forgetting about Wikipedia and concentrating on making the business highly successful. That might eventually result in independent sources writing about it and/or its founder in depth.
- Rejection is meant to be final, to convey that the topic is not presently notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). No amount of editing can fix that problem. There is no option to re-submit Draft:Piwocart by Preethi Vijay because volunteers do not intend to review it again in the near future. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:39, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Request on 09:43:32, 23 December 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Yaniv unger
Hi There
I was trying to create an article about a new startup named BOOKAWAY.
The main reason my article was decline is because I don't have enough substantial truly independent sources and citations as written to remain published.
My problem is that I added all the credible, independent, secondary reference sources detailing information about significant milestones and events in the history of this company I have. and it's not enough...
I double-checked my self, I went and checked other pages in the same niche... They also don't have those substantial independent references you require now. we all using the same template, the same structure but still... my article was declined. and I wonder why? What else should I do? paying NYT and HTB to quote me?
Secondly, the article was worded as a promotional article or web page. I don't get it. nothing related to promotion. all are facts.
I would be extremely grateful if you could find the time to assist me in ensuring that I can make the necessary edits to secure approval for this submission.
Regards and thanks. Yaniv Yaniv unger (talk) 09:43, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- Well for starters this is just blatant advertising…“Realizing there isn’t a simple way to book transport tickets online, Noam created an online landing page that offers one route – Manila to Banaue, operated by Bookaway’s first supplier - local travel agency.” Theroadislong (talk) 13:20, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your help but I give up. The article is neutral and only repeats what is said in the sources cited (some of which are published). This is a frustrating process. I know you need to have rules but rejecting an article about a notable person (more accomplished than others who have articles in Wikipedia) seems counter productive to what you are trying to achieve as an encyclopedia. Thanks anyway.
- Your draft Draft:Vivian Wang has not been rejected? You have not even submitted it for review yet! ALL sources need to be published and I'm not finding any so far that are independent.

- Zipster969 (talk · contribs) (TB)
May I ask for specific suggestions about how to make it less like a marketing brochure?
→ The first draft was declined, with the feedback: "Remove PR language from the lead section". I removed the entire lead section in order to fully comply. I also removed some other sections (to help ensure the article would have a neutral point of view).
→ Despite making the suggested change, the article was declined a second time for the same reason. This time, though, there were no specifics (about how to make it less like a marketing brochure), and I'm not sure what else to do. Can you help? I'm probably too close to the subject as it does seem pretty neutral to me. The article also "has a range of independent, reliable, published sources", and zero "materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed".
I'd appreciate any assistance.

We have refurbished the Etere article with more references and the sources. As Etere is a long standing company that is present at techonolgy shows, conferences, and news articles throughout the world, it is a liable topic to require a wikipedia page.
