2022 Ohio gubernatorial race

I submitted it again with including the mayor of Dayton, Nan Whaley, and more references. You declined the article for being too soon, however other articles of this are present with other states with even less information are up. Your reason is valid, but Cranley ((Cincinnati Mayor) will most likely announce his full candidacy soon. Other people have made their own articles with less information which is why I am asking for this one to be made. Sksksks hydroflask, Sksksks hydroflask added 12:34, March 2nd, 2020 (EST)

Submission declined on 29 February 2020 by Sulfurboy (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.

Sulfurboy--thanks so much for the very personal response. I agree with your critique of the article, am trying to locate other articles that appeared in the Houston Chronicle, WSJ, and the Austin Statesman. It must be a headache to handle all the new page reviews. Hopefully my article wasn't _too_ riddled with errors. Thanks again, your Texas cheerleading is most appreciated. :)

Hi Sulfurboy, thank you for giving time to review my first page for Dr. George Ambartsoumian. As you are familiar I am new and the learning curve of wikipedia is pretty steep for me.

Draft:Rini Yun Keagy

Hello there. Wanted to clarify that this article that I created a few days ago was intentionally left as a stub article. We are currently hosting a Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon at St Olaf College, and students at the college are going to be spending time with this article and adding more sources to it. The students themselves were unable to make a new page, as they had never edited an article before, so I simply created an article and added some preliminary text for the purposes of publishing the page. I understand there are many missing citations and lack of sources; this is fully intentional on my part so that these students can practice the research and citation process for underrepresented artists such as Keagy. It would be helpful if this page could be moved out of drafts so that they are more easily able to access the article and add their citations. Thank you. (lngracie (talk) 12:45, 10 March 2020 (CST))

The declination of my article.

I was shocked to see my article was declined again. I've been declined twice now after fixing the previous problem which was to add multiple sources due to the fact I only had one at the time. All the sources I included posses accurate information about my topic and stay on point with the subject though I understand currently there is not much information around regarding my topic. Yet I feel that my draft meets the criteria for it to become an article.

Help how to improve my declined article / reliable sources

Hello Sulfurboy,

thank you for your feedback on my article!

Looking at it now, I totally understand that it has too many sources. I also see that some points are not so relevant for the subject and can be left out entirely, which should make the article (and the sources) much leaner.

Also, could you give me a hint which sources would be considered not reliable? Just so I can throw these out.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me here!

Request on 21:53:03, 17 March 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Alfredsph


Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to review the article I wrote for the 'The Elephant in the Brain'. I wanted to ask for clarification as to why the article was rejected. You wrote 'Reviews on the book are from non-notable or unreliable sources. Not seeing any significant coverage of the subject.' The Wikipedia notability guidelines WP:NB states that to qualify as notable the book must be the 'subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself'. I have cited substantial reviews from the Wall Street Journal, New Yorker and the New York Intelligencer, all of which are considered 'generally reliable' according to [these guidelines]. These three reviews, on their own satisfy the notability requirements. On top of this I have cited reviews in Publishers Weekly and Quillette, as well as a minor review in the National Review and a blog review from a well respected computer scientist. I understand if you believe that the latter four reviews are from 'non-notable or unreliable sources' but I don't think that it is accurate to call the Wall Street Journal, New Yorker and New York Intelligencer 'non-notable and unreliable'. Please could you clarify the reasons for rejection, because as it stands, I believe that the article satisfies the notability requirements. Thanks, all the best, Alfredsph (talk) 21:53, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alfredsph, You're right. The WSJ article in particular was overlooked as a skimmed reading of the title was a bit deceptive. The article has been approved. Cheers Sulfurboy (talk) 21:57, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing!

I am not being paid directly or indirectly, therefore I do not require the paid tag (where do I state this officially to proceed with edits). If the article does not read neutrally, certainly, I would appreciate editorial guidance as a first time contributor.

I am quite interested in writing about African-Americans in Tech/Venture Capital - it is important to note that over 200 Tech VC African-Americas are members of BLCK VC (this is why I am starting with Frederik Groce, the Co-Founder of BLCK VC). Also, I am not paid nor am I affiliated with BLCK VC. I have added more neutral references as requested in the edit feedback from DGG, I have received no specific guidelines on refactoring the draft, how do I proceed?

Key Question: As a starting point, does it make sense to write a WP draft for BLCK VC first and then list all its members - then create stubs for all its members and all the Venture Capital Companies they work for (I think this is around 300 VCs/Companies now)? If so, what info should I list for each member and what is a reliable source other than venture company sites?

Gaussianfilter (talk) 19:20, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gaussianfilter, I would recommend reviewing the guidelines of WP:BIO and WP:GNG as I doubt the vast majority of the subjects you mentioned would meet our strict notability guidelines. Sulfurboy (talk) 04:02, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Submission declined?

Hey, just wondering why you declined https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_Race_All-Star_eSports_Battle? You said that it was declined because the citations "do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject", but User:Sdkb checked it out and found nothing wrong. MiasmaEternalTALK 04:58, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To confirm, I was helping out MiasmaEternal on the IRC and took a quick look at the article. The Independent and Yahoo Sports sources looked sufficient to me to pass GNG, but as I'm not knowledgeable about e-sports, there may be things I missed. Regards, Sdkb (talk) 05:04, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
MiasmaEternal, Sure, you provided four sources. One of the sources is from a blog website and the other is a press release. The other two focus more on notable driver's participation instead of the actual event itself, meaning any notability this event might have would hinge almost entirely on the notability of these already established drivers which means the event wouldn't be considered independently notable. We need to see at least one reliable source whose primary focus is on the event itself and not these professional drivers. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:09, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for your feedback concerning my draft on Clar Weah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Clar_Weah I would like to know if I could get some pointers as to the peacock terms that were used in this article, as for the references they are verified and reliable but most of them are from Africa and in particular, Liberia is it the fact that they are from Africa that they are considered unreliable? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by BramsKK (talk • contribs) 12:00, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BramsKK, The whole thing likely needs to be rewritten from the ground up. Wikipedia is not a place to advertise or promote every organization this person has been part of. The article also needs to be written a formal, neutral tone. Do not use Wikipedia as a voice, we care what others have to say about her in secondary sources, not what the user thinks or what the organizations she's involved with think Sulfurboy (talk) 15:24, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(by talk reader) @Micheltvalenzuela: The subject isn't notable and it reads like ad copy. You cannot cite Wikipedia. Your citation about hockey says nothing about your product, wax, or using adhesive. The other citations saying that petrochemicals are bad for humans says nothing about your product, either.

Biography of Liberia's First Lady Clar Weah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Clar_Weah Thank you once again for your feedback, indeed Wikipedia is not a ground to express or promote any views, the overall tone of the article will be revised. But the comment on promotion or advertisement on every organisation she has been in is not true its a biography and part of her humanitarian activities, the template was based off other first ladies wiki pages which bear similar "advertisement", and I have yet to understand why the sources that were sited were not reliable they all stem from legitimate newspapers of Liberia, hence my previous question why are they not considered credible? Thank you --BramsKK (talk) 17:07, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(by talk reader) @BramsKK: Draft:Clar_Weah is laughably promotional. One does not "launch her career" by coincidentally being a bank teller where she meets her future husband. Many of the claims you make are unsourced, and promotional. Bullet-listing her goals is clear ad copy. You have gone out of your way to list her social media profiles in violation of WP:ELNO. You undoubtedly have a conflict of interest and can't see this objectively. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:39, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Chris_Bouchard

Hi thanks for your comments on this. In your view is the underlying content significant and this is just a technical hurdle regarding sources? Or is it more fundamental that I need to justify him being significant?

I had included the bio and his imdb page but a previous reviewer said they didn't count as reliable sources. So I stripped it all down to things that I was confident were as reliable as you can get. The seven sources are all international news organisations which I thought was good. In my eyes he counts as significant as he's directed three films which have their own (extensive) wikipedia pages but I guess it still needs a bit more work. Would it help if the post was longer? I tried to keep it concise so that every word was backed up by as many sources as possible but maybe that's unhelpful.

Hi, I noticed that, you have rejected my draft on Draft:Basab Chaudhuri . He is the current Vice Chancellor of West Bengal State University, located in West Bengal, India. 90% of the content on this page is directly based on the press coverage in the Millenium Post and the most circulated Bengali daily Anandabazar. Even his researchgate profile has been given as an external source. The information contained herein is partly extracted from the University website (Office of Vice Chancellor (VC). It's almost impossible for a man to get vast coverage and I don't think it should be the only criteria for a draft to get published. He is an well known academic in West Bengal and holds the designation of VC in a State University. I do belive that I have adequate notability and reliable sources to support the article. Now it's arduous for me to gather more sources to validate what I have written there. Please consider that. You can check the university website also. Thanks.

Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:50, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sulfur, I don't want this to get lost in the discussion about FA but you have two respected editors (John and DGG) who both express some unease with your review process. I would take heed and if you don't understand the concerns ask for more detail. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:15, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Barkeep49, Apologies for this being long, but there's some context that might be missing here. I'm not sure what warranted unease John has with my review process. I'm not even sure he fully understands the difference between AfC and NPP considering a couple of his comments and your pinging. His disagreement with my decline of FloridaArmy's article was done without assuming good faith and without proper due diligence. The article was in fact submitted and declined appropriately. FloridaArmy has been repeatedly warned and restricted and still has gone on and continuously disregarded reviewers very basic suggestions. Considering the volume of FloridaArmy's page creations, declines such as this are the only defense against a flood of improperly sourced articles, many of which have borderline/questionable notability. Why John even jumped in on this, with little to no background surrounding the issue, and why they tried to have a broader discussion about my ability as a reviewer on a submitter's talk page is beyond me.
Beyond that, I really have no interest in hearing out John or taking his critiques seriously. He has talked down to me on more than one occasion and I've seen them be very abrasive and have a general lack of AGF, particularly towards newer editors. I've even had to outright ask him not to talk down to me and their response was "I talk how I talk". At that point, I made the choice to no longer interact with them. The only reason I even responded today was because you asked for me to join the discussion. This is why I'm choosing not to even tag them in this, as I have zero interest in dealing with their negativity unless it's absolutely necessary.
DGG is a completely different story. They are in fact one of my favorite editors here and I always welcome and, when needed, respond to their critique of my reviews. As far as I know, I've always been open to what they have to say and I don't think it's an ongoing unease they have with my review process, but instead issue with certain individual articles. Mistakes will always be made, but I would like to think I'm always willing to admit to them and improve from them. I do welcome of course DGG to correct any of those assumptions I've just made though. Sulfurboy (talk) 03:07, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sulfurboy, I understand the hesitance to engage with people who you've had bad experiences with in the past. I'm glad to hear you remain open to feedback and growth - that is all any of us can do. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:10, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Barkeep49, all reviewers make errors, and though each reviewer does tend to have a characteristic style and a characteristic pattern , there are some errors that most of us make, and Sulfurboy is not alone in a tendency to decline articles for fixable problems, or to not notice the relevance of special notability guidelines, or misjudgments in dealing with areas where one is less competent than one would like to imagine--all of these are errors I recognize because I make them also. .Nor is he alone in declining instead of rejecting hopeless drafts, or in not always seeing the advantages of speedy or MfD, or in not dealing more actively with the probably undeclared paid editors --all areas where I have become more likely to take strong action than most reviewers. All of us are so aware of the need to clear backlogs that we often do not give sufficiently directed help, or become apt to treat a good faith beginner as if they were a SPA.
I deal with such errors when I see them by mentioning a clear example from time to time, and hope that will help to correct imbalance; just as I hope others will correct my own. There are some reviewers I am reluctant to correct because I know they will get angry , but Sulfurboy is by no means one of them, The only real difficulty I have with Sulfurboy is that they do not necessarily realize that a correction about a specific draft is likely to be representative of other errors of the same nature--I don't think it friendly or productive to criticize at every possible opportunity.
I'm responding here at some length both to reassure Sulfurboy, but also, Barkeep, in the hope that I can help you can work out more effective processes to improve the quality of reviewing. I was delighted to see you participation in this. because if always helps if things don't become just a back and forth between two individuals,. DGG ( talk ) 08:37, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined page on bereskin & parr LLP

Hi,

I was just curious why the new proposed page on Bereskin & Parr LLP was declined? In viewing the landscape of IP firms in Canada (i.e., intellectual property), I had noted many IP firms had informative Wikipedia pages (e.g., Smart & Biggar, Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, etc.). Accordingly, I sought to add a brief page discussing Bereskin & Parr. In particular, in viewing and passing by the Wikipedia page for "Boutique law firm", I noted that Bereskin & Parr did not have a Wikipedia page.

Alternatively, how could I change my submission to be acceptable, without it seeming like an "advertisment"? The original page noted a brief history of the firm (i.e., founded in 1965), it's founders, the number of lawyers, it's general ranking in IP landscape as well notable clients that have been represented. I seem to have found similar information disclosed in other articles discussing law firms.

As well, apologies, this is one of my first draft submissions - I am unsure how to link to the deleted draft in this comment, as per the rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IPLaw365 (talk • contribs) 20:46, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IPLaw365, The entire article was an unambiguous advertisement which is why it was speedy deleted. If you are not able to see that it was nothing but an advert, then it is likely you have a conflict of interest in play that is affecting your ability to view the subject neutrally.

Pls I will like you to considered this. Much regards (F5pillar 17:16, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

F5pillar, As already stated, too many of those sources are paid for promotion or press releases. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:39, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Hey Sulfurboy. I have answered again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Karl_Ferris#Karl_Ferris

Could you please explain why this article "Karl Ferris",(about me) which has been on Wikipedia for over 10 years, is now marked for Deletion or Draft? I, and much of the public, do believe this subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article, and has over the past 10 years. And, half the pictures on it were there from the very beginning and are in public domain...and I have just added 4 additional images that half were uploaded from Wiki Image sources and half from me Karl Ferris, their Author and copyright holder, (and I give Wiki permission to use them). I also corrected a few incorrect names and dates in the original article written by Michael Goldstein-Curator, of the Album Cover Hall of Fame.com And there are plenty of Periodical citations there also, and many related Wikipedia interlinks on the page to many other related pages.

So the article is definitely legitimate, therefore could you please review and reinstate the article as it was for many years? And please let me know: karlferris@hotmail.com

Thank you, Karl Ferris Ferris1182 (talk) 23:10, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sulfurboy, Ferris1182, I moved this back to mainspace. I agree this shouldn't have been moved to draft, and if it is not notable, should be subject to AFD. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:28, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Crystallizedcarbon, please do not move 10 year old articles back to draft. They should be put through AFD instead if the subject is not notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:34, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AngusWOOF, Yeah you made the right move Angus, I had no idea when I reviewed it that it had been an article that was moved back to draftspace that had been in main for a decade. That being said, it is possibly an AfD candidate, and at the very least, all non-sourced BLP claims in the article should probably be removed. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:38, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sulfurboy, no worries, I find myself jumping on those drafts like that too. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:40, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
