Sorry for bothering you, but...

New Page Patrol needs experienced volunteers

• New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
• If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions and review our instructions page. You can apply for the user-right HERE. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}_{(click me!)} 22:37, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Mccapra. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Barkeep49 (talk) 03:33, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks very much. Mccapra (talk) 04:25, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Recent review

Hello Mccapra !

Thanks for reviewing Cabinet Dufaure II (France) ! You indicated that the article needed copy editing. If you could spare time, could you please indicate what part of the article (or perhaps is it all the article) needed it ? That would terribly help me improve it ! :)

Best regards, CocoricoPolynesien (talk) 09:50, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi @CocoricoPolynesien: don’t worry about the tag on the article. The content is fine and it just needs a native speaker of English (or similar) to make some adjustments to wording. Wikipedia is a collaborative project so this tag is a cue to a future editor rather than a direction to you. If you carry on creating good articles like this other editors will deal with specific details. All the best Mccapra (talk) 12:22, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Redirects

Hey Mccapra,

I've noticed that you've been blanking a lot of articles and swapping them for redirects. I know a lot of these are crappy company promotional articles, but some of the articles you've blanked (Pulsar 590, Web3S) have survived AFD and are arguably notable. I'm sure some others could've been merged, maybe Superword Level Parallelism into Automatic vectorization?

I'm just wondering, isn't this circumventing the AFD process? You've obviously got more experience than me and know your way around, but unceremoniously blanking articles just seems like throwing away information.Mbdfar (talk) 19:10, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your note. I have been redirecting a lot of articles today and yesterday. They’re mostly unsourced or long-standing stubs. I did not realise that some have an AfD consensus to keep them so you’re quite right I should not have redirected them without going back to AfD first. I will go back and see which ones those are. It is possible that some could be merged yes, but I’d so that wasn’t obvious to me. I’m conscious that these articles have been sitting here for more than a decade without much development in most cases. In the case you pointed out I would not have the knowledge to undertake such a merge.

I’m very happy to review my work. I will try to find the articles that went to AfD the redirect. If there are any others you think I’ve made a mistake with please point them out. Many thanks Mccapra (talk) 19:27, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply - I don't mean to call you out or anything, I'm just trying to help de-orphan as well and wondering what I can get away with. Best of luck! Mbdfar (talk) 19:43, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Online retailing

When I made that page it was to redirect it to online shopping. Rolling back to that edit may be enough. Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 10:56, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Prod removed

I removed your prod from [1] per edit summary rationale. I think this topic is likely notable, even through our article is a messy stub. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:29, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

ok thanks for letting me know. The sources in pl.wiki looked poor but I didn’t do a wider search in Polish. Mccapra (talk) 12:21, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Draft should be deleted

Good evening ! according to Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, Draft:Saif_Ben_Ammar should be deleted because the editor's name is Horcujet and Saif Ben Ammar known as Horcujet. You can check in the article. The same user has uploaded photos to commons . https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portait_of_saif_ben_ammar_(_hor_cujet_).png . then self promotion or paid. He doesn't even have a user page. I nominated the photo and article for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia:Autobiography: Avoid writing or editing an article about yourself (or paying someone else to do so), other than to correct unambiguous errors of fact. Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is an example of conflict of interest editing and is strongly discouraged

--Eyatu Ben (talk) 12:33, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

ok thanks. I don’t have much experience with drafts and speedy deletion. If your speedy delete is declined, I suggest you read [2] before doing anything else. Also there’s no reason why people can’t upload photos of themselves to Commons, so long as they own the copyright (though another editor may come along afterwards and delete their contributions if they think they’re of no real value.

Merchant Republic

Thanks. I've deleted it as being created by a banned editor, but there's also a backstory which I've mentioned on your AfD. You can close it yourself now. Much appreciated, I'm kicking myself for having missed it. I've protected it also. Doug Weller talk 05:43, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Review of Thomas Arthur Rickard

Hi, I have had a notification that the page Thomas Arthur Rickard has been reviewed. Is there anywhere I can look to see what the result of the review is? Is there somewhere I can look to understand what the review process is that the page has undergone? Thanks, Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 09:44, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

@Tango Mike Bravo: Hi the New Page Review process is a way of checking that new articles are about topics that meet the notability requirements of Wikipedia, aren't copyright violations, and don't have major things wrong with them. I reviewed this article and could see that it passed all these thresholds. There isn't a report of the review, but if a new article is about something not notable or if it breaks copyright it can be sent to deletion. Otherwise reviewers add tags to it e.g. to request more sources, text cleanup or other modifications. By the way is this article based on a translation of the it.wiki article? If so I need to add a translation template onto its talk page. All the best Mccapra (talk) 10:49, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

@Mccapra: Thank you for the explanation. I was inspired to write the article on Thomas Arthur Rickard because I found that he had been linked to the it.wiki article on List of fellows of Imperial College London which I created. However, although I now live in Italy, my Italian is not up to doing any translation, so I basically started from scratch in creating the page. So short answer, is no, it is not a translation. Why I created the list is a longer story. Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 12:08, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

OK great no worries. I hope you find plenty of other interesting topics to write about. All the best Mccapra (talk) 12:10, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much. That’s lovely. I enjoy reading your new articles and they’re all very well put together. I hope you continue finding good topics and digging out sources. All the best Mccapra (talk) 09:47, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Help

Hello Mccapra, they have nominated one of my notable pages for deletion, a very famous Tunisian youtuber Hachem Gaddouch and my article is notbale by sources I need your vote and your help. Thank you --Eyatu Ben (talk) 02:30, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

• @Eyatu Ben: Hi ok I’ll take a look. But also, if pages are proposed for deletion you’re not supposed to encourage people to come and vote one way or the other. And if it does get deleted, don’t worry. I’ve had my work deleted too. I’d also encourage you not to spend time creating articles about Youtubers. YouTube is not a reliable source for Wikipedia and the sources for articles about Youtubers are usually a. YouTube (not acceptable) and b. Blogs and other unreliable online sources. It’s actually very hard to create articles about Youtubers with reliable sources, so if you focus in the, you’ll have a very frustrating time. And thank you very much indeed for the barnstar!! Much appreciated. Mccapra (talk) 04:02, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
• @Mccapra: Hi, Thank you for your reply. I only wrote one article on a notable youtuber, I am Tunisian and I like this actor youtuber, he is famous on my country, in addition you can see my articles, notable sources such as Tuniscope ... Thank you Mccapra --Eyatu Ben (talk) 04:12, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
• @Eyatu Ben: ok I’ve looked and I’m afraid the article doesn’t have a single reliable source. Social media is never an acceptable source for Wikipedia, and neither is IMDB. Tuniscope isn’t either. It’s a ‘community’ that doesn’t rely on reports from proper journalists. I’d never heard of As-Sarih before but nothing I can see suggests it’s reliable either. Reliable sources would be independently-published books or scholarly papers/journals, or genuinely independent coverage (not interviews) by proper journalists in mainstream news media (e.g. As-Sabah, Al-Bayan, Jeune Afrique etc.). As I said it is usually very hard to find multiple reliable independent sources for Youtubers, so my best advice is to choose a different topic! If you want to save this article you have six days remaining now to find sources of the type I’ve mentioned. Mccapra (talk) 04:21, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
• @Mccapra: In Tunisia we don't have access to sources for talented young , in addition youtubeur is a new culture in our country, we also have Tuniscope is very notable in our country. I put in my article a source from Assarih.com. I don't think there are other sources, and I don't know him personally, maybe there are other sources not shown on google and he knows it? Thank you for your explanation. Thank you for valuable efforts for contributing to Wikipedia. nice to meet you Mccapra --Eyatu Ben (talk) 08:37, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Le Concert Spirituel

On 22 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Le Concert Spirituel, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Le Concert Spirituel played Handel's open-air music at the Proms with an ensemble that comprised 18 oboes, 9 trumpets, 9 trombones, and strings? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Le Concert Spirituel. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Le Concert Spirituel), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Speedy deletion declined: Federico Castigliano

Hello Mccapra. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Federico Castigliano, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Being professor at a notable university or college indicates importance/significance (WP:CCSI#ACADEMIC). Thank you. SoWhy 06:53, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Oliver Johnstone Page

I find it confusing and incorrect that you have flagged the page Oliver Johnstone for deletion. It does match the criteria in WP:NPOL, as he was a member of Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council which is a province of Greater Manchester. It clearly states that if someone has been a member of a legislature at a province level they pass the criteria for WP:NPOL. This position that Oliver Johnstone had is similar to state house members in the United States, it is clearly therefore acceptable for this page to be in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheApollotd (talk • contribs) 19:21, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your note. I don't agree that Stockton Borough Council is equivalent to a state house in the USA at all. If you can find other articles on Wikipedia for UK borough councillors then that will support any case you want to make in the deletion discussion, but I don't think you'll find any.

Reliable sources

Hello Mccapra, you have suggested me to replace the reference of trekshitiz.com by those cited by Govt. agencies. I would like to bring to your notice that trekshitiz is a responsible and renowned govt. registered association in Mahrashtra. The members are dedicated historians and trekkers.About the website www.trekshitiz.com, in 2005 it received the best website award from Marathi Vikas Parishad for its contribution. Trekshitiz provides the information to trekkers, ways to reach the forts, fascinating places of interest in forts on the personal experiences of the members accomppanied by photographs Read more at: https://www.deccanherald.com/content/599557/his-mission-document-protect-forts.html. Most of the forts in India are in ruined condition for the lsat 100 years.The rulers which followed the King Shivaji and Peshwa rule have destroyed the forts and the acess to the forts. Very few people knew about them, so also very few literature is available in the govt records as well as in public domain. I mostly give the references to the history from the Govt. Gazetteer. Now there is a growing enthusuasm in the youth to discover the ruined forts and reconstruct the ruins. I will try to give references from Govt. records and publishings as far as possibe. User talk:Ccmarathe 1st May 2020

Hi @Ccmarathe: thanks for your message. My concern isn’t that the forts aren’t notable. I don’t know about each individual one, but I suppose that most or all of them are notable, whether they are in ruins or not. My concern is that you have put a lot of work into these articles, and that without better sourcing, you are going to face one deletion proposal after another when other editors look at the articles, see the lack of solid sourcing, and think the article shouldn’t be in the encyclopedia. That is frustrating and demoralising for you and it’s what I want to try and avoid. The best way of avoiding this is for you to create fewer articles, more slowly, with better sources. I can tell you that for the purposes of Wikipedia, www.trekshitiz.com absolutely is not a reliable source. If you use it as a starting point for article creation that’s fine, but you will need to find other references to back up what you say. For example I just took a look at ‘Kanhera Fort’, which you created an article about. I did a google book search and found this. All of these books are reliable sources. Some are only available in snippet view but take what you can from sources like those and include them as your references. Sources can be in Marathi rather than English, but they have to be reliable independent sources. If you keep creating articles sourced mainly or only to trekhitiz, I’m afraid you’re going to have an unpleasant time ahead. Let me know if you need my help. All the best Mccapra (talk) 04:50, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Mccapra. there are two forts with the same name Kanheragad or Kanhera fort. One of them is in Nashik district which I have mentioned and given the reference from Nashik district gazetteer, the location on google map is https://goo.gl/maps/J81GxAnD1s3YSznZ7 . The other fort which you have searched and mentioned is in Jalgaon district with locationon google map https://goo.gl/maps/fSzJ2Po7cV5by7xN6. I know that there are confusions about names and my obective is to give reliable information. Hence forth I will try to provide references from Govt records. User talk:Ccmarathe 1st May 2020

Thank you. My main concern was possible copyvio but that seems to be well under control. I’m not going to review them all because I think it’s good practice to have different reviewers look at a run of articles like these, but if they’re still languishing in the queue in a few weeks’ time feel free to ping me and I’ll come back to them. Thanks to you and your students for so many good quality new articles. Mccapra (talk) 16:50, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Moshe Jakobovits

Hello Mccapra, you have suggested me to add more (reliable) references and notes to this article Moshe Jakobovits. It's done. Thank you. Gklein2018 (talk) 09:40, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Great thank you. There’s still a tag on the article pointing out that the article needs inline citations, so that readers can see how each substantive statement in the article is supported by sources. That takes time, but it is necessary. Do you know how to do this? Mccapra (talk) 09:51, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Polesskoe Offensive

Hello Mccapra, I've noticed that you left a message on the recently created article by me- "Polesskoe Offensive". Regarding the so-called "description" of this offensive in a subsection of the Dnieper–Carpathian Offensive. As a matter of fact, the Polesskoe Offensive of the 2nd Belorussian Front in Eastern Poland is not described there at all- only the name of the offensive is mentioned but the text below actually describes the combat operations of the 3rd Ukrainian Front in southern Ukraine during the "Bereznegovatoye–Snigirevka Offensive", while text below there actually describes the events taking place during the "Proskurov–Chernovtsy Offensive". In this aspect the Dnieper-Carpathian Offensive article is messy and needs to be fixed. Thus, my article "Polesskoe Offensive" is correct and that's why you think that it "presents an account that is significantly different to them in in the other article." In this regard can the templates be removed, cause it ain't my fault that the editors of the Dnieper-Carpathian Offensive made factual mistakes in those areas. As I wrote during the creation of the article, I will provide details later on why this offensive is significant. In addition, I don't see why one source used multiple times is a problem, as long as it has references to archival material that can be backed up. Does a book mentioning the date when the battle began or how many troops fought are wrong? I also don't understand why you added at the top of my article in the template that "The examples and perspective in this article or section might have an extensive bias or disproportional coverage towards one or more specific regions." What "extensive bias" and "disproportional coverage towards one or more specific regions" in particular are you talking about? As you see, there are factual mistakes done by the editors of the Dnieper-Carpathian Offensive in the past, which is not my fault, while I, as mentioned before, will constantly update the article. Therefore, can these templates be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tai3chinirv7ana (talk • contribs) 18:18, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your note. Would you please leave a note on the talk page of the other article to explain what you’ve said here? Don’t worry about the templates, they’re intended to direct editors with specialist knowledge of the subject to look at it and evaluate it. If the view of members of WikiProject Military History is that your article is correct then they’ll take the templates off. My role as reviewer isn’t to make a final judgement on the content but to point specialist editors to issues I see (on which I may well be wrong). Removing the templates and amending the other article are tasks for the editors on that WikiProject. Talk to them and I’m sure you’ll find them helpful.

Colive

Hi Mccapra, my page Colive has been considered for deletion, could you kindly let me now the reason for the deletion, I have created this article only based on the news details which I have collected online, I do not know the procedure to participate in the deletion discussion could you please advise if this page could stay if necessary changes are made. Thank you.Glittershield (talk) 03:15, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes. The article you wrote is about a company, and articles about companies are required to meet the standards in WP:NCORP. The article contains nothing that would make the topic notable - lots of property developers build fully equipped living spaces, and the sources all appear to be based on company PR. That’s my opinion, and of course you are free to add your own views to the deletion debate explaining how the article meets the WP:NCORP standard.

To take part in the deletion discussion, click on ‘edit’, add *Keep on a new line and say how you think the article meets the standard. I am watching the deletion discussion page now so don’t worry about making a formatting mistake. If you do that I’ll fix it for you, or another editor will. The main point you have to argue is that your sources are reliable and independent (not PR) and demonstrate the notability of the topic.

If the article is deleted don’t be discouraged. If you’re a new editor it is a good idea not to create articles directly in mainspace. Instead use the article creation wizard to write a draft. The more experienced editors can help you get something ready for mainspace and advise you when it’s ready.

I see from your talk page that you’re having some difficulties in the articles you’re starting. As you’re new to Wikipedia there are three areas to definitely avoid when creating articles: 1. companies, 2. biographies of living people and 3. anything based on IMDb. These are the areas where Wikipedia gets filled with the most junk and where other editors are most likely to try and delete your work. Is there another area of interest you could work in? Mccapra (talk) 03:40, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to reply Mccapra, as you rightly said as a new Wikipedian I do face some difficulty with the article that I start, when creating Colive I went through all the news article and I have confusion as to how to identify a PR article so based on the source I got online, as the term coliving was very new to me I started to research and as this company was in most of the news coverage found it to be notable, I am really stuck as to how I could put forth my argument in the deletion discussion.thank youGlittershield (talk) 03:56, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Mccapra, I tried to put forth my opinion regarding notability of the page but looks like the team were not convinced with the links that I provided, maybe the formatting style of the page was not correct. I felt this subject was notable but may be wrong. As I always get confused with Pr articles before I created this page I also went through other Wikipedia pages of similar category to get little Ideas as to how pages for this category are created and saw that the news provided was similar to the one which I gave so reliable source is very confusing for me. So could you please give me suggestions as to what should be done, I just want to do genuine contribution for Wikipedia so should I just leave the page to get deleted. Please advice thanksGlittershield (talk) 08:15, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi yes it seems that the view so far from other editors is that those sources are not good, because they are paid for by the company itself. I don’t think you can add anything else to the discussion. The format of the article isn’t the problem, the problem is that we don’t accept those sources as reliable. Deletion discussions run for seven days and at the end of that time if the consensus is to delete, that’s what will happen. Don’t take it too hard, everyone has had articles deleted before. For your next article try to find a subject that has good reliable sources eg. other Encyclopedias, dictionary of national biography, extensive news coverage in reliable magazines and newspapers. If you think of a few topics you would like to try I’m happy to do a search and tell you what I think of the sources I can find before you start writing. All the best Mccapra (talk) 08:42, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, Mccapra you have been a great help for me, I had created an article on 4th May on Bigbasket and was speedy deleted as promotional but I got it restored now it is in my draft Draft: Bigbasket, will you be able to check my page and let me know if the page and resources provide are according to Wikipedia policy. I have Interest in reading about the company and giving information about them, now I think I should back up from creating articles on company and think about creating articles on a different subject.Thanks for the help Glittershield (talk) 06:08, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes you have the same problem here. Lots of references but not to sources that are regarded as reliable and independent. Most companies aren’t notable enough to have Wikipedia articles. Fundraising from investors almost never supports notability, though it always generates some PR pieces. Seriously rather than spending more time working on these company articles I suggest you choose a different topic to edit. Mccapra (talk) 12:11, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

A. Kulandaivel Mudaliar

A. Kulandaivel Mudaliar is a famous person in South India. He is role model for many young businessmans.

A Hachette UK published book also describes Kulandaivel Mudaliyar as famous businessman Tirukodimadachengunrur (talk) 08:55, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your note. A biography of a businessman is required to meet the standards in WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. I looked at the sources you provided and I’m afraid they don’t meet that standard. For example the fact that a person’s name is mentioned in passing once in a book by Hachette does not support notability. A profile on an online shopping site doesn’t help either. If this gets deleted don’t be discouraged, but try writing new articles that aren’t biographies of living or recently-living people, and aren’t about companies. Also it’s a good idea not to create new articles directly in mainspace. Instead, use |Articles for Creation where more experienced editors will help you work on a draft until it meets requirements and can be published. Mccapra (talk) 09:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

@Mccapra: Whether these reference is suitable for wikipedia standard

• https://www.forbesindia.com/article/bootstrapped-bosses/how-tk-chandiran-of-scm-group-companies-created-a-textile-empire/47793/1/ this one brings up a 404 for me. Is the link correct?

• https://www.financialexpress.com/archive/weaving-a-success-story/1241439/ It can be used in an article, yes, but the source is really about the company and not the founder, so it isn't sufficient to show notability.

• https://www./amp/s/www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/features-2/chennai-silks-spinning-a-success-story-2289575.html/amp this link does not load for me.

@Mccapra: Whether these reference is suitable for wikipedia standard https://www.forbesindia.com/article/bootstrapped-bosses/how-tk-chandiran-of-scm-group-companies-created-a-textile-empire/47793/1 OK this is a good source,yes, but as you can see it is a profile of the son, not the father. It definitely helps support the notability of the son, but it doesn't really support an article about the father.

Quick Question about Page TerminusDB

I notice that you put a notability guidelines for products and services on the TerminusDB page. I'd be interested to learn your concerns. I have made some changes to the page today and wonder if they address any points you might have? I will continue to add external sources as I find them.

Everythingisnail (talk) 18:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi yes when I looked at the page I saw that another had already tagged it for needing third party sources because too many of the citations are to PR pieces by the company itself. Looking through the sources provided, it seemed a bit thin to me, and anyway all the PR is very distracting. The best thing I can suggest is that you remove all the sources that are written by the firm and its spokespeople and we can see what's left. It's actually fewer sources, rather than more, which will make notability clearer. Thanks Mccapra (talk) 18:22, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Ok - that is useful. Will look back in and see.

OtakuKart Draft

Hello, Thank you for the input, I have added all the valid references I could, could you please help me with what more references I should add? There are few website Wikipedia pages I have referred, they have way less citations than me, and remains published.

Which is why I want to know if i'm doing anything wrong, could you please guide me with what kind of citations I need to add more? it would help! Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sohelmoldhariya (talk • contribs) 18:38, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your message. Wikipedia only accepts certain kinds of source. Please see this note. Things like YouTube, social media and the article subject’s own site aren’t acceptable as sources I’m afraid. If there are no better sources than those you’ve found them I’m afraid the topic isn’t sufficiently notable to have an article on Wikipedia. Mccapra (talk) 18:42, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I can add more sources, then it will be fine right? I have only added 1 source as my own. The others are independent sites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sohelmoldhariya (talk • contribs) 19:02, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi the draft as it is now is sourced to 1. Alexa (this does not show notability) 2. The subject’s own website 3. LinkedIn all of which are definitely unacceptable. The other three don’t look reliable to me. You need national newspapers or other similar sources. Just adding more poor sources won’t help I’m afraid. Mccapra (talk) 19:09, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for clearing out the doubts! I'll improve the draft and add more sources. The anime motivation is quite reliable, as well as feedspot. I'll resubmit as I have more reliable references.

I added Linkedin and alexa because two of the site who I reviewed before making the wiki page had done that, and they were live. One of which didn't have any external reference, other than one.
