Continental clip Traditional Poodle haircut, We do not approve articles just to help people pass a class. Our requirements for notability do not change for any individualized circumstance. I would recommend you have your teacher read WP:ASSIGN. Also, if English is not your first language, you might want to consider creating a page on your home language's wikipedia. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:33, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sulfurboy Just noting that it could be for an English class, so editing their home language version would not help. 331dot (talk) 09:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Continental clip Traditional Poodle haircut I'm sorry for your difficulty. It is extremely unfair to you for your teacher to make you write an entire Wikipedia article as a class requirement. This is because it often takes a long time, well beyond any deadlines set by a teacher, and other aspects that are beyond the student's control. Feel free to show your teacher this message and direct them to read WP:ASSIGN as noted by Sulfurboy.
In the case of your draft, you have cited the technical aspects of the style of dog grooming you discuss, but that is not enough. Wikipedia articles must do more than tell about a subject; they must show with significant coverage in independent reliable sources how the subject meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability. You haven't done that with your draft at this time. 331dot (talk) 09:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

07:03:37, 24 April 2020 review of draft by Dr.sergio.rs


Hi, I would like to understand the process better. I understand the comment of the reviewer. However, there are clearly some topics - such as the one proposed in the draft - that are of interest of a rather niche audience. How is an administrator deciding what is 'significant' and 'independent' coverage? In academic work, citations from other (independent) articles certainly count as independent coverage. Thanks a lot for your input!


Dr.sergio.rs (talk) 07:03, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dr.sergio.rs. Academic journal articles or chapters in books from academic publishers, by authors other than Sergio Sparviero, would be independent. Significant coverage is less of a bright line, but reviewers have many years experience judging it in many thousands of cases. For example, Jabloński and Jabloński's 2020 chapter "Conceptualization and Operationalization of Social Business Models in the Digital Economy", is significant coverage with respect to Business Model Canvas. It also cites Sparviero, but all it says about The Social Enterprise Model Canvas is two sentences referring to two figures from Sparviero. That doesn't constitute significant coverage of the template. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:25, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Worldbruce.

08:50:43, 24 April 2020 review of draft by NiciWest


Hi there, I'd like clarification on why the article for Georgia de Chamberet is being rejected please. The subject appears to have lots of external sources. Is someone able to specify please? Best, Nici

NiciWest (talk) 08:50, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NiciWest Hello. Is there something specific about the advice you have already been given that you do not understand? I can say that many of the sources seem to be from the person themselves, which does not establish that this person meets the Wikipedia definition of a notable person. 331dot (talk) 09:09, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
NiciWest You say she was "managing editor of the Quartet Encounters series" this is not supported by the source and would in itself confer no notability,

You say "Chamberet was one of the original founder-members of English PEN's Writers in Translation committee" this is not sourced, you say "She launched the BookBlast Celebrates Independent Publishing initiative via online journal The BookBlast Diary in 2016." this is not sourced. "he was a judge for the The Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation" this is not a notable prize and only has a primary source. "publishing world writing in translation, including titles by Aharon Appelfeld, Stig Dagerman, Giorgio Bassani." is just unsourced name dropping. Please be aware that you need to disclose any conflict of interest too. Theroadislong (talk) 09:19, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:01:30, 24 April 2020 review of submission by Deshaanandii



Dear Team,

I would like to know the exact reason as to why the article was declined, request you to please help me so that I can start following your suggestion and make the content more suitable for publishing. Since this is my first ever post would like some support from your end, rest ensured will publish high quality content for the audience Deshaanandii (talk) 10:01, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deshaanandii You were given the exact reason by the reviewer- you do not meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable actress, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. No amount of editing can change that. Please read the autobiography policy to see why writing about yourself on Wikipedia is not advisable. Wikipedia is not social media where people tell about themselves, this is an encyclopedia. If I am in error and you are not Deshaa Nandii, you will need to change your username at Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:CHUS. 331dot (talk) 10:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am writing an article on the superhero lnferno and l need to find reliable secondary sources online.

Glammazon Are you asking a question? We can't find your sources for you. I suggest that you reverse your submission of the draft until you find such sources, otherwise it will be declined again. 331dot (talk) 12:32, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Hi Glammazon. You may find Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/References useful. The listed references are not necessarily online, but an article may cite offline sources. If you need help accessing an offline source, WP:RX may be able to help, although with much of the world locked out of libraries right now you might have to wait a month or eighteen. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:37, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

14:47:15, 24 April 2020 review of submission by 210.6.22.101

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jiri_Prochazka_(martial_artist)

Has there been any update on this? I have resubmitted. I have already explained how this Martial Artist is a significant figure.

The MMA notability criteria has been met

1.Have fought at least three professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization, such as the UFC (see WP:MMATIER);

Has fought 12 times for Rizin FF which is considered a top tier organization.

The list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mixed_martial_arts/MMA_notability#Current_list_of_notable_MMA_organizations_and_promotions is outdated. If rules are consistent then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Lee should not have a wikipedia page because she has only fought at ONE Championship which is second tier according to the list


or 2.Have fought for the highest title of a top-tier MMA organization

He is currently Rizin FF Light Heavyweight Champion and has vacated the title to fight for the UFC which is a top tier organization.

Request on 17:02:21, 24 April 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by BrandiBostonTea


Hello!

A Wikipedia page draft of mine was recently rejected due to our references not proving that we have been significantly covered/are eligible for a Wiki page. Of the 22 references on our page, 12 are from news sources, but unfortunately half of them don't have web links because they are from the early 2000's (we had scans of the articles on our computer files, but there is no way to access the articles from the news sources' websites). Is there a way to keep these sources in while having no way to electronically prove they exist? Would we be able to link to the news site in the reference as a way to prove the the news site exists/is legitimate?

Thanks!

BrandiBostonTea (talk) 17:02, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Who is "we" Wikipedia accounts are strictly for single person use. Theroadislong (talk) 17:23, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Another problem is that the draft is stuffed with promotional marketing, puffery "Due to the stadium's status as one of the most iconic landmarks in Boston", "The orchestra's missions were to highlight the city of Boston's rich history ", "The organization's Breaking Down Barriers Initiative ", "15,000 tickets were put on sale for the concert and sold out within four days", "with the full blessing of the King Estate.". etc etc. I suggest you give back any money you have received for editing this, because you have done a very poor job!

Untitled post about Victor Mbarika

Greetings! Please I need clarification on what an orphan article is? I removed the orphan tag placed on Victor Mbarika because it is linked to ICT University's Wikipedia page but a user "GSS" reversed it. I had earlier checked the rules guiding the use of that tag and discovered its appropriate to remove the tag from the article. Please clarify this. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Opeinoluwa101 (talk • contribs) 21:16, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Opeinoluwa101: This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. Pages in article space are outside our scope. You are correct that the article is no longer an orphan. Another editor removed the orphan tag on 20 April, but if you still have questions about it you can talk to GSS directly on their talk page, or ask at the Wikipedia:Help desk, where editors will try to answer any question regarding how to use Wikipedia. Please remember when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), to sign your posts. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:35, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

22:00:01, 24 April 2020 review of submission by Erikgwagner

Hello, I have been trying to get feedback on this article draft. What would you recommend I do to have it reviewed? Have a great weekend, Erik EW 22:00, 24 April 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erikgwagner (talk • contribs)

@Erikgwagner: There is now a gray box at the top of the draft. It contains a blue "Submit your draft for review!" button that you may click to put the draft into the pool to be reviewed. Wikipedia has very little appetite for new articles about small private companies, especially startups whose history consists of raising venture capital, so don't expect it to be accepted for publication. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:50, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

11:29:46, 25 April 2020 review of submission by 2A00:23C7:3706:4500:17A:481B:5C22:8EAB

Hi, could you please tell me what the issue is with the Olivier Varenne page? 2A00:23C7:3706:4500:17A:481B:5C22:8EAB (talk) 11:29, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is(as the reviewers have said) that Varenne does not seem to meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. No amount of editing can confer notability, it depends on the sources. Much of the draft seems to be about the exhibits at his museum and not him personally. If there are independent sources that have chosen to give Varenne significant coverage, please offer them. You may also want to read Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 11:33, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because l corrected the links after reading the last notice.

20:46:29, 25 April 2020 review of submission by JessFranborough


I have edited and resubmitted the article for Droeloe and I'm requesting a re-review. I have added in the article proof that Droeloe is notable and provided notable sources. Referencing the music notability criteria under criteria for musicians and ensembles, Droeloe meets the criteria of being the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable. Droeloe has also met the criteria of having 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, as Droeloe's song "Jump" was featured in an Apple Inc. advertisement for the Apple Watch Series 2 in July 2017. Droeloe has also met the music notability criteria as they have been on international concert tours. Is there any advice you can give me to have this article approved and published? Thank you.

JessFranborough (talk) 20:46, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

JessFranborough, Well the issue is that the article was deleted after a community discussion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Droeloe. Now in terms of notability, I wouldn't say that being in an apple watch commercial is sufficient for notability.

23:40:51, 25 April 2020 review of draft by Tentator


KylieTastic declined my submission with the comment: "See Wikipedia: Notability (academic journals)". I do not understand the meaning of this criticism. My article is about a notable and respected taxonomic journal which is one of the most famous among Russian journals on this subject. The journal is indexed in Scopus and a number of other databases. Wikipedia contains many articles about much less notable journals. Why was my submission declined? Tentator (talk) 23:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tentator It is a poor argument to cite other articles as a reason for yours to exist; see WP:OSE. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. It could be that those articles are inappropriate as well; we can only address what we know about.
Your draft offers no independent reliable sources with significant coverage to demonstrate that this journal meets the special definition of a notable academic journal. Please see Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 23:44, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sandeepg.connect (talk) 12:40, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sandeepg.connect I'm sorry but Wikipedia has no interest in the "internet presence" of you or your company. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell about themselves. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources state about a subject, not what the subject wants to say about itself. Your company would only merit an article if it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. You would only if you meet the special definition of a notable person- and you shouldn't be the one to write it per the autobiography policy.

NQCethos, It certainly seems like a legit organization. But just because something exists doesn't mean we write about it. Only subjects that are notable, i.e. have been written about in the press, are included in our encyclopedia. You'll need to find news or book coverage of the organization. If such coverage does not exist, then we can't cover it. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 04:46, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have been asked to resubmit the article by making the following suggestions. "Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject."

Could i understand a little more about what it means. I have also included a variety of independent government and media sources substantiating the content. I really appreciate your assistance on this

Varunrajwiki (talk) 02:02, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Varunrajwiki, Wikipedia is not for promoting its subjects. Our articles must be written in a formal tone and from a neutral point of view. Your article unnecessarily promotes the subject, puffing up his achievements like, well, a peacock strutting to show off. That may not have been intentional, its a fact that a lot of non-formal writing can read like that. But on Wikipedia, we present just the facts, and don't make small details seem more important than they are. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 04:35, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 14:32:34, 27 April 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Poliyatin


I have a content and I want to publish on wikipedia but its showing the content is copyrithed work but I have taken it from a book I want to bublish the work below Accomplished wrestlers are regarded as saints. Just as saints and great sages renounce the world of illusion and deceit and become absorbed in god, so do wrestlers have to focus themselves and lose themselves in their art. If his concentration should even slightly waver and his pace falter then it is certain that he will end up as the lowest of low and no better than a person who grovels in the dirt.

Wrestling is unique among India’s ancient arts. From the beginning wrestling practice has been done on the ground, in the soil. Among those who have practiced wrestling there are many who have made a name for themselves and have built up the nation’s standard. Among these, Brahmdev Pahalwan—the Lion of Uttar Pradesh—earned a reputation for his guru, the nationally known Chandan Pahalwan. Such skill as he demonstrated is rarely seen in your average wrestler.

A devotee of Baba Gorkhanath; a nobleman of Gorakhpur; a patron of wrestling, the late Babu Purushotam Das provided Brahmdev with the venue—Pakki Bagh Akhara—in which he performed, exercised and thereby gave his admirers such satisfaction. What fame he achieved may be attributed to his true commitment, deep concentration and self-consciousness. Today this straightforward man, advocate for the poor and under-privileged, and tireless political worker is no longer with us, but those in Gorakhpur—nay, the entire state—cannot live without recalling Brahmdev’s great skill.

Brahmdev was born the youngest son of Mahadev Mishra in Rudrapur, Khajni Gram, near the Bansgaon thesil of Gorakhpur district in 1917. Khajni is a veritable pilgrimage point for wrestlers. Brahmdev’s grandfather, father and brothers were all wrestlers, so how could he have been anything else! He regularly went to the village akhara with his father where he rolled around and covered himself with earth. The aura of so many great wrestlers must have rubbed off on Brahmdev and served to focus his attention on wrestling.

On account of his devotion to the akhara, Brahmdev’s formal education ended in middle school. However, being from a Brahman family and living in an intellectual community he learned the Ramayan very well and was able to quote Sanskrit verses with great proficiency. In addition to being a wrestler, Brahmdev took an interest in politics and was an accomplished public speaker. As a village pradhan [head man] and Block Officer he served the public well.

Brahmdev enjoyed his life in the peaceful environment of the village akhara. He exercised and ate to his heart’s content. In the city akhara of Pakki Bagh he became a disciple of Chandan Singh and thereby followed a more rigorous regimen and improved his skill. In local tournaments he sought out wrestlers bigger and stronger than himself and regularly defeated them. When he defeated the great Surti Pahalwan in a Gorakhpur tournament the fans’ excitement was unbounded. He also defeated a European wrestler in Gorakhpur.He also defeated the great wrestler Dara Singh in a dangal of Kolkata.

Brahmdev’s daily work-out consisted of two thousand five hundred bethaks and one thousand six hundred dands. After running he would wrestle with twenty-five good wrestlers. He was most accomplished in the nikal, tang, and multani moves. Any opponent who was subjected to these moves would most certainly “see the sky.”

His diet included one seer (a quarter measure) of ghi, six seers of milk, and thandai made from half a seer of almonds. He also enjoyed fruit and was a vegetarian. In Calcutta he exercised in the akhara at Mochi Pari Thana in Bara Bazaar where he instructed many great Bengali wrestlers.

According to Indian tradition he wore a dhoti and kurta with a dopatta around his neck and shoulders. With huge mustachios Brahmdev cut a very impressive figure. When he walked through the bazaar thousands of people would stand and watch while his many disciples would compete for the honor of touching his feet.

Brahmdev was married very young but had no children. However, he regarded his nephews as his own sons and personally looked out for them. He admonished the children of his family to pay particular attention to their studies. As someone who advocated education he was a model citizen until his death in 1975.

Cohen has had extensive news coverage, not just trade publications. He has been featured numerous times in the LA Times, including a recent profile on his and his multi-decade career as the defacto real estate agent for pro athletes in Southern California. He has represented countless celebrity buyers in large residential real estate transaction and has become a celebrity of sorts in his own right as other real estate agents have in recent years.

Cohen has continued to receive press coverage, that eclipse many real estate agents who are considered notable. Cohen was not featured one time, in some blog.

09:31:52, 28 April 2020 review of draft by NitroDanW


Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia but I didn't realise it would be so challenging to get an article published. My initial draft was simply deleted so I had to start again. I've now had two reviews - April 24th and 27th. On both of these occasions, my draft was rejected but not deleted. I've done as was requested to create the references in the required way but the last review said that my sources were not creditable. I don't know what I can do to make this right as they are genuine sources for both printed and online media around the subject - Andy Carter, drag racer. If taking some out is the answer then so be it. I just would love to get this live as I've put a fair chunk of work into producing what I believe to be a hugely informative and factually correct article. All help very gratefully received. Kind regards, Dan Welberry.

NitroDanW (talk) 09:31, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NitroDanW Successfully creating a new article is the absolute hardest task to perform on Wikipedia. New users generally have an easier time if they first spend time(months) editing existing articles in areas that interest them, to get a feel for how Wikipedia operates and what is expected of article content. Regarding your draft, the sources you have offered do not seem to be independent reliable sources(click to read about what such sources are) and they don't seem to show how this person meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable racing driver. The sources you offer are also just weblinks and not properly written citations, see WP:REFBEGIN for a starter's guide on writing references. If you haven't already, you might want to read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 10:01, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

331dot, I'm grateful for your reply but it still leaves me a little puzzled. I fully agree that it's such a hard task but I'm wanting to create a new article that I believe is of value to readers and don't want to get involved with the editing of other user pages. I don't understand why the sources are not acceptable? They're independent and regarded as the most reliable in the sport of Drag Racing. I've even referenced the European FIA database which is the oracle for all racing speed/timing data. With regard to 'notable racing driver' point, I've read through the requirements and Andy Carter meets all of these. He competed successfully for many years in FIA competition and won four FIA European titles. The FIA is regarded as pinnacle body in motorsport and oversees the Formula 1 championship. One of the pictures I'd like to add, once we have a live article is of Andy receiving his FIA trophy alongside Michael Schumacher in Monaco. So, if we can somehow agree that actually the article is ok on these points, could we get to live by simply addressing the weblinks/citations? I obviously just want to get this right. Kind regards, Dan Welberry.

Shubu Mukherjee is also listed in your Fellows of ACM page on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fellows_of_the_Association_for_Computing_Machinery. In fact, if you click on Shubu Mukherjee's name on this page, you get an error page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:New_user_landing_page&page=Shubu+Mukherjee. Wouldn't it be nice to have an actual link?

With kind regards, Shubu Mukherjee

Removed anything advertising related, made the article more generic to display points of accuracy.

Connernudd Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that there is little to no chance it can meet Wikipedia guidelines. The draft has no independent reliable sources with significant coverage to support its content (no sources at all, actually). Wikipedia is not for merely telling about something.

Micaha123 Your draft was rejected, meaning that there is little to no chance that it can be improved to meet Wikipedia's standards. Please understand that Wikipedia is not for merely telling about something. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources state about article subjects; you have offered no sources at all.

13:55:15, 29 April 2020 review of submission by Gitten4

1. My draft has been denied for submission because it does not "show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I did enter external links as references where I could, but they don't seem to be showing up. So I would love help with adding sources. (This is my first time creating an article from scratch.) 2. Also, I know the subject (actor Mads Koudal) personally (he's a friend), and I've attempted to declare this on my user page, but I'm unsure if I did this correctly. Also, I'm unsure if it's best to leave the creation of the article to someone else. If possible, please let know where I may request assistance for this. Thank you :-). Gitten4 (talk) 13:55, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gitten4, For adding references properly please read the easy referencing guide. I have also fixed your COI declaration. In general, I would caution that it is very hard to write neutrally about someone you know. The guy looks only marginally notable at best, which would require you write a pretty good well sourced article. Everything needs a reliable source, you can't use things you know personally. I would say it is possible that you could create the article, but most folks in your situation would not be able to. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:15, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, my article has been rejected twice as an advertisement and/or as biased etc. Would you please let me know what do I have to change for the article to get published – should we replace the photo with a different one? Should we replace specific words or references? We really do not want the article to be an advertisement so I would appreciate any help I can get. I am an office manager of the company run by Anna Maresova, so I disclaimed that I am a paid employee in my profile. Thank you very much. Ivanajuchelkova (talk) 14:41, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft has been rejected because it is contrary to Wikipedias objectives, it is just blatant advertising, if your company is notable someone unconnected with it will write an article. Theroadislong (talk) 14:44, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello sir , this is my first article with Wikipedia . This guy Yash Gupta is a famous entrepreneur here in India and has motivated me as a youngster . I am 24 and this guy being just 21 inspires me to work really harder as he is a self made man . He remains in news channels on television and also on news websites .

18:03:18, 29 April 2020 review of draft by Joejose1


My draft was rejected for the third time. The latest one says that it reads like an advertisement. I followed the style and language in articles about other operating systems most similar to the what I made the article about. Linux Mint & Elementary OS Kindly help me make it better. My article and the articles linked about reads the same to me in tone.

Joejose1 (talk) 18:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Joejose1, Well the tone is not neutral, and its text reads promotinal. For example, having "Pop!_OS is strives to have a 'minimal amount of clutter on the desktop without distractions '." as the second sentence is not at all how we structure articles. We try not to quote manufacturers, let alone as the second sentence. In general, an article is not trying to sell a product, but rather provide a neutral...and almost uninterested...accounting of it.
Also, be careful about comparing your article to existing ones. Many of the articles on Wikipedia were created before we began the rigorous Article for Creation process. That means a lot of ...honestly junk articles were created, and many of them have slipped through the cracks. You can read more about the logical fallacies involved in article comparison at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:07, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the response. The second line was me following Linux Mint style. You might want to remove the second line in that article too. I've removed that line in mine. I've made some tweaks as well. Kindly give it one more read. Even in the Wikipedia:Good articles certified Debian it seems to just talk about it's features. It's so much more comprehensive but my question is related to the neutrality. What is the expected neutrality for an article about an Operating system. Joejose1 (talk) 20:21, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some changes to address concerns raised by an reviewer to an article previously submitted and rejected. How do I submit the changes?

The previous page had a box similar to this one, however it said not to make any changes in it, and to press "Publish changes".

Thank you.

Dynamiccloser, For starters, it is unsourced. That won't fly. But, the guy just doesn't seem to be notable anyway. He's an average individual like you or I. If he was notable for his crimes, then we probably shouldn't cover him unless the crimes were really somethinge else, see WP:BLPCRIME, which they don't seem to be. Its time to edit another subject, perhaps one that exists already. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 04:21, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

02:44:35, 30 April 2020 review of submission by Mattyrobson

I am requesting assistance because I am trying to give wikipedia updates on the TV show, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. My article somehow got deleted, even though I added some sources to this information. I would like you to give me help on how to not only get the deleted page back, but also manage to put the information where it tells what I found, and convince them that a 10th season of the show really IS happening. Mattyrobson (talk) 02:44, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mattyrobson, Well you'll need to find some reliable sources that claim there is a 10th season. But as many folks have told you, no such sources currently exist. There isn't a tenth season happening. I would change my mind if you gave me an article in a reliable newspaper or website that says there is a tenth season. Unless you provide such sources, you are on a fools quest, as there is no way that article will get approved. Wikipedia relies soley on such sources, and accepts no other form of information. Based on this edit by you, I think you've simply misintrepeted what the extra episodes are. They seem to be merely a bonus, not actually a whole season. Also, if your source is the FIM Wiki, that isn't reliable, just as Wikipedia is not a reliable source, because its content is user generated.
