01:06:05, 15 October 2020 review of submission by Naeem95

I am requesting a review because this player is a professional soccer player and have played for 3 professional teams in the USA and 1 pro club in Germany. He has sufficient articles that was provided and connections to professional clubs as seen on their wiki page. Thank You ! Naeem95 (talk) 01:06, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unless any of those professional teams were in a top-level national league (i.e. MLS or Bundesliga) or on this list, WP:NFOOTY is not satisfied. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 06:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC) (edited 06:30, 15 October 2020 (UTC))[reply]

@Trndsettr4fire: Wikipedia is a volunteer project. People have to endeavor to build articles, not just request them. The draft linked above lacks most details, so it's not particularly useful. Sorry. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:50, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@FamdomFom76: You are goign to need several reliable (no user-generated content) independent(no press releases or interviews) sources with significant coverage(not yust passing mentions) to show that the subject meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability.

07:48:12, 15 October 2020 review of submission by Katdot89

Hi. The previous post was created by another user. I am a totally independent reviewer interested in writing about Gaming companies in Malta. I have edited the existing draft to a totally unbiased view of the company. The comment by the first Wikipedia reviewer, was based on the first submitted draft by the other user. I'd appreciate if I can better understand what falls under 'contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia'. Thanks Katdot89 (talk) 07:48, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Katdot89 It is not easy to find a draft unless you know where specifically to find it, and you have not edited about any other topics. How did you come to be interested in this topic if you are "totally independent"?
The draft has been rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. It just tells about the organization and what it does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. "Significant coverage" is in depth and goes beyond brief mentions, name drops, announcements of routine business, staff interviews, and other primary sources. 331dot (talk) 08:51, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

08:34:39, 15 October 2020 review of submission by Aie555


I've take the time to go through this draft article and made several improvements: I've removed trivial sources, removed unsourced statements, and added new authoritative sources that were not available at the time of the last review. Some of the sources from outlets that are authoritative in the language technology industry or in the Czech Republic. On the suggestion of the last reviewer, I am submitting this for an additional review.

For the sake of full disclosure, I do have a potential conflict of interests: I work in the language technology sector and have had a professional relationship with Memsource.

Aie555 (talk) 08:34, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The draft has been rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. Please review the comments given in the draft. 331dot (talk) 08:54, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi 331dot, based on your advice from my last submission I reached out to CaptainEek who reviewed and rejected the draft previously, and he suggested that I submit it for review again. Is this not possible? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aie555 (talkcontribs) 09:57, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If the reviewer that rejected the draft believes you should resubmit it, then I would ask them to reverse their rejection. 331dot (talk) 14:19, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mohd Hamdaan Ansari (talk) 16:03, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mohd Hamdaan Ansari: This draaft currently lacks reliable independent sources with significant coverage and as such currently fails WP:NPERSON. Apart from that, its also written in a promotional manner. Thats the exact reason why we strongely discourage autobiographys. Victor Schmidt (talk) 16:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Having trouble getting the article approved because there was a second Landline film that was already given the subject heading in 2017. This is a different Landline film with different credentials and articles related. I'd love to know how we can get this one approved after the previous editor denied us for having the same subject as another film. Thank you so much.

If you are the author of the article, ChicagoFilmmaker83, please remember to sign in when editing Wikipedia. Since it is a different film from Landline (film), I recommend simply resubmitting the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:10, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

21:00:57, 15 October 2020 review of submission by Acidskater

I would like to request a review of draft:Israel Weinstein as I believe it was incorrectly denied. While there was some problematic wording which I have since cleaned up, I believe that the admin's ruling is incorrect. In asking the admin to expand on their reasoning so that I could assist the creator in editing the draft to get it published I was given nothing of substance and instead told that the admin suspected the creator of violating WP:COI "due to the article creator's contribution", which is even more vague and feels like the admin is leaning into not assuming good faith. I would be interested to hear from others, especially if anyone agrees with the original admin and can point out areas they believe are problematic. Questions to the admin who denied the draft and their responses can be found here. Acidskater (talk) 21:00, 15 October 2020 (UTC) Acidskater (talk) 21:00, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:56:59, 16 October 2020 review of draft by Ron.challinor


My submission has been moved to a draft because I have deprectaed and unreliable sources. How do I overcome these. Also, in one case I have a citation needed that I am unable to supply.

Ron.challinor (talk) 10:56, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ron.challinor. Everything in Wikipedia must be verifiable. If you can't cite a reliable, published source for a statement, then that material should not be in the encyclopedia. If a statement cites an unreliable source, such as a self-published blog or The Daily Mail, then the content must be removed unless you can find a reliable source to replace the unreliable one. A local library or historical society might be able to suggest sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:43, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have written a page on Budapest Process which is being investigated for copyright issues. I have contacted the Budapest Process website administrators and they are happy for the material to be used. They will also send across an e-mail confirming this.

Glen Hodgson (talk) 11:21, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This page is no longer in draft space, but to be clear: Generally any text provided by the subject themselves is not suitable for Wikipedia, whether because it's not neutral or not reflected in credible secondary sources. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 14:38, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

16:21:04, 16 October 2020 review of submission by Francis Bea


I just reviewed the feedback and wanted to see if I could get a clarification on the reason for the article's rejection. For those familiar with the AR/MR industry, Nreal is considered to be on par with Magic Leap and Hololens and in fact typically mentioned in the same sentence as the company is the industry as the only one to have launched consumer mixed reality glasses on the market - following Magic Leap's pivot. Not to mention the founder is from Magic Leap. But on the mention regarding the criteria of notability Magic Leap had gone out of its way to sue the company, which resulted in independent, albeit unfavorable coverage about Nreal.[1]

Greetings! I submitted this bio on September 24, having complied -- or attempted to comply -- with the proper in-line referencing format. I was almost immediately referred to how to properly format. I believe I have done so, so I re-submitted the bio yesterday. Could please tell me the status, and if it is still not properly formatted, could you please tell me what I need to do to correct it.

17:43:20, 16 October 2020 review of submission by Pilotmichael

Trying to get this article published and there are questions of reliable independent sources. Pilotmichael (talk) 17:43, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pilotmichael: please list your WP:THREE below. Keep in mind that we are looking for sources that meets all of these criteria:
  • They are reliable. Commonly unreliable sources include user-generated sources such as most social networks. There is a non-exhaustive list of sources which were frequently discussed regarding reliability at WP:RSP.
  • They are independent of the subject. Not regarded as independent are interviews with the subject (or the subject's employees), and press releases
  • They offer significant coverage of the subject. One of two paragraphs should be enough, thoug more is always better.
I dont realy want to generate a full source assesment, because I dont consider it worth the time needed to create it. You may also want to look at WP:CSMN. Victor Schmidt (talk) 17:57, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information. The sources do meet all three of the criteria. They are reliable, independent and significant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pilotmichael (talkcontribs) 19:06, 16 October 2020 (UTC) And, there are numerious sources sited that are reliable, independent and significant. So I do not understand the problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pilotmichael (talkcontribs) 19:28, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pilotmichael: Which are the numerous sources cited that you think are all three: reliable, independent, and significant? Most of the sources appear to be coming from exploringwineregions.com. Of those sources, some are potential copyright violations, since it's unclear whether there is adequate permission for the republication of that material. Having looked at a few, I don't see anything specifically in-depth. The Vancouver Sun one, for instance, includes a few sentences about one of the books. Same with the Chicago Tribune's four sentences. Also, even if you were able to demonstrate that one of the books might meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, you are writing an article about a series of books, and notability is not inherited. Hope that helps. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:04, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Cyphoidbomb Thank you for being specific about this. Of the 35 sources cited, 34 are independent. I am understanding that reliable is not an issue. Regarding significance. Some are short and some are long; however, all are significant in terms of quality. Quality is more important than quantity, correct? You mention Chicago Tribune for example having just one paragraph. That one paragraph is quite significant when you consider that the Chicago Tribune receives and reviews thousands and thousands of books and this book was chosen as one of six winners. That is actually very significant! Regarding inherited notability, I understand. And not concerned. The second book is quickly becoming even more notable. For example, today, the book won a major book award against the books of the big publishing houses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:C850:4760:8823:FCAD:8D98:AA4F (talk) 02:06, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They appear to be from at least 15 distinct sources. Victor Schmidt (talk) 07:48, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Updated and completed. Victor Schmidt (talk) 08:46, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So how do we resolve this and get this article published? Reading you say you are not so sure if exploringwineregions.com has the right to republish those texts. We are absolutely sure we can republish those texts per the Fair Use Provisions and backed by EWR's registration with the US Copyright Office. Besides, this is of no issue for Wiki and you show exactly why it is necessary as you say the last source has nothing to do with EWR. That is because the publisher changed what was on that page. You nor we have the ability to keep the text we want because they are independent. Independent! And further, they provide the necessary source documentation.

You go on to say you don't like what journalists write. That is not for you to critique, they are independent, and if they like to write like a press release or have lots of glory words, then, if anything, that further indicates the true significance of the books.

Why do you think the one paragraph with the Chicago Tribune is not significant (for example)? Are you saying that quantity is the determining factor, not quality? The one-paragraph (acceptable by Wiki's written standards) represented the significance that this book was chosen out of thousands of books. That is very much significant and does not need the rambling of paragraphs that you seem to feel is what makes something significant.

You show many of the sources withOUT a "no" for meeting the standards. That is because they DO meet the standards, so do many that you say no to unjustifiably.

So, how do we get this resolved and get the article published? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pilotmichael (talkcontribs) 17:44, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to jump in to briefly explain "significant coverage": Per WP:GNG, this does not mean that you or I find it significant that the Chicago Tribune mentioned the book. Significant coverage, as described at WP:GNG wants the content article cited to talk about the subject in detail. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention is what the guideline states and notes that The book-length history of IBM by Robert Sobel is plainly non-trivial coverage of IBM. While book-length material about a book series is not going to be the threshold for this article to exist, the sources cited will need to talk about the book series in abundant detail, which the four sentences at the Chicago Tribune do not do. The types of questions we'd expect to see answered: Who wrote the series? When was the series written? Who published the series? How many units were sold? What events inspired the series? How long did it take to assemble each book? Did the series win any awards? What impact did the books have on wine tourism? Etc. This is a non-exhaustive list. My point is that significant coverage would provide lots of details, not just a quick synopsis of what one book is about. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:44, 17 October 2020 (UTC) Strikethrough "content" as bad word choice. Changed to "article cited". Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:42, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Cyphoidbomb for the information, especially the type of questions that need to be answered. I will go back to the article and update to make it more complete. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pilotmichael (talkcontribs) 14:58, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pilotmichael: Perhaps I wasn't clear. I wasn't saying that the draft article you are writing has to have this information, I was saying that a reference that the Wikipedia community would consider as providing "significant coverage" would be one that talks about the book series in great detail, providing answers to questions like the ones I raised above. It seemed to me that you were confused about what we consider "significant coverage" to be. A four-sentence acknowledgement in the Chicago Tribune would likely not be considered significant coverage by the Wikipedia community. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:42, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification. Chicago Tribune is just one of 35 sources. Others have lengthy information. I do feel some of the questions you raised would be good to have in the article and that was what I planned to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pilotmichael (talkcontribs) 17:38, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to ask for your help with writing of the wikipedia article. I try it for the first time and I choose topic about the use of smart phone to determine the quality of food. The name of the article is FoodSmartphone and that is the name of European public project, so as I wrote the wiki article for my first time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:FoodSmartphone), I was inspired in other wiki articles, which write about some type of projects. I also read all kinds of FAQ, advices for beginners, technical help, mistakes to avoid etc., but it did not help me. When I tried to submit it, Wiki-reviewers had problems with this topic. I am looking for a way how to write this article correctly, how to show your reviewers, that the topic is not commercial. I have no personal interest on it, but I am convinced that this topic could be interesting for the wiki users. Cairek007 (talk) 10:30, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It reads more like it's advertising or promoting the subject. There is such a thing as being too detailed, and lists of objectives, number of associated groups, etc. is utterly irrelevant to the sort of person that would be looking in a general encyclopaedia for background information on the topic. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 00:33, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zooden, I guess you are not from India but in India, Sahnil videos are very viral and he s having a good amount of fan following. I also got to know about him through my younger brother who is a big fan of him and then I searched about him and found his videos very cool. He is an actor I have started watching his show MTV Warrior high on youtube and he is doing great. I see all his co-actors having their wikipedia. I suppose you should give him a chance and keep him on wikipedia for sometime to see. My brother told me that on his live he mentioned that he is going to some web series soon. Anyways it would be great if you go through all of his videos,work and pictures. I saw a fan making a permanent Tattoo of his name that means he is notable. Because if someone is making permanent tattoo that means he is a notable person. Please have a look at these videos which i just found on his instagram handle https://www.instagram.com/p/B5pmRisAY5R/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdZnQLnTVj/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B1oMmP9AoaZ/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B_89uLhgoY4/ Wow! We done even need proof. These pictures and videos says it all. This guy deserves. Please let me know your advice. Generally I guess editors focus on news articles but videos and pictures are the best proof. Thank you for your time! Just sharing my feelings. Oone his profile is on wikipedia. I'll message him on instagram. I hope he replies. Best Regards Aamira HR Consultant

@Aamirabusy: I'm afraid that you have a common misconception about what Wikipedia contains. Wikipedia does not contain profiles, not a single one. Wikipedia has encyclopedic articles about topics that satisfy Wikipedia's special definition of notability, in this case a noteable person. Please also be aware that nobody "owns" a Wikipedia article in the sence they can say what's on there. Intagram and other social networks are commonly regarded as an unreliable source.

I am not paid to edit anything, I am just doing this for my younger brother because he admires him a lot. As I had mentioned above that I got to know about this through my brother. Sahnil doesn't even know me and I had said I will message Sahnil, I HOPE HE REPLIES , I wanted Sahnil to reply me if I am able to create his wikipedia because this is the only way my younger brother can talk with him. I am working as a HR Managar and I am earning good. I dont want this money Sir. You are taking me in a wrong way. I am a 28 years working lady. Since, This s all messed up here I just hope Sahnil doesn't gets to know about this. I still request you guys to reconsider his article. God bless you! Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aamirabusy (talkcontribs) 17:01, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aamirabusy, you need to rewrite the article from scratch, not use the old ones that keep getting resubmitted and therefore deleted. Do not source IMDb. That is user-generated and not a reliable source. As I discussed in the MFD, he is borderline not notable. He only has one recurring role in that Warriors show. Wikipedia requires entertainers have multiple significant roles in major productions. This role is not discussed in detail in any newspaper articles presented so far. Elovator Pitch is not a major role, but a minor/guest role as a participant. Other than that, he had a brief event fame for dating a woman in Brazil over Likee. AngusW🐶🐶F (barksniff) 17:22, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 AngusW🐶🐶 OK I will rewrite everything. Please open this draft so that I can rewrite again and I will just post relevant articles. Thanks for understanding! I will try again . MTV Elovator Pitch I have seen it was a great show and he was one charm in that show, as well as MTV Warrior high I am watching, even you can watch to see him. He is doing great there too. Talking about his LIKEE experience well yes I saw his videos and he is quite famous in India and Brazil. Now will you please allow me to make a new article from scrath here? Should It be a stub article only na? Because it will be a short article about him.

Please guide me! Best Regards Aamira

I reframed everything. please make the desired changes. Draft:Sahnil_Bhatnagar_(Actor) Thank you for your suppot. It means a lot, finally my younger brother will be happy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aamirabusy (talkcontribs) 21:58, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any help in getting this page/article published would be helpful. It is currently sitting in my sandbox.

Thank you for your support.

Henry Cuevas Note that other similar articles existing is not a reason for yours to exist, see other stuff exists. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us. We can only address what we know about. Standards also change over time, so that what was once acceptable is no longer. If you'd care to point out some of these other articles, we can address them; we could use the help.
Regarding your draft, it is sourced to nothing but press releases or routine information. That does not establish notability as defined by Wikipedia, for companies that is defined at WP:ORG. A Wikipedia article needs to summarize significant coverage found in independent reliable sources that have chosen on their own to write about the subject. That does not include press releases(which are not independent), announcements of routine business transactions, or brief mentions(such as basic company information). Please see Your First Article for more information.
If you work for or are otherwise associated with this company, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on disclosures you could be required to make. 331dot (talk) 09:29, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

12:07:50, 19 October 2020 review of submission by Captilia

Hello I'm have hard times to publish any article .. Kindly advise

@Captilia: I assume this referes to User:Captilia/sandbox. I have so far seen the following problems:
  • The page reads like an advertisement, but Wikipedia does not host advertisements. It contains peacock terms. If I were to grab a red pen and mark everything that falls under this pint, there is not much left.
  • The page makes excessive use of <big>-Tags. Normally, you shouldn't need to use them at all.
  • The page makes excessive use of bold text. use it sparingly.
  • The page currently fails WP:V. If I were to determine where the information in the draft comes from ,I would need to grab google myself.
  • In conjunction with the previous point, the draft also fails to meet WP:NCORP or WP:GNG.
  • The draft uses external links in the article body. this is not allowed. Plain external links are only allowed in a specific section, usally called "External links".
  • Upon a routine investigation, I also determined that a substancial amount of text is identical to the organisation website. Please never do that. Even if we could get the legal aspects resolved, 99% of the texts not written for Wikipedia is also unsiutable for Wikipedia (see the first point).
For future attempts, try to follow these steps:
  • First, review our guideline on notability, our policy on Verifiability, and our general notability guideline (GNG). Consider whether your subject clearly meets the standards listed there. Also, check if the topic is already covered, perhaps under a different spelling or in a section of an article about a wider topic. You will waste a lot of time, if you create a new article, and then find that the encyclopedia already has an article about that.
  • Second, read how to create Your First Article and referencing for beginners and again consider if you want to go ahead.
  • Third, If you have any connection or affiliation with the subject, disclose it in accordance with our guideline on Conflict of interest. If you have been or expect to be paid for making edits, or are making them as part of your job, disclose this according to the strict rules of the Paid-contribution disclosure. This is absolutely required; omitting it can result in you being blocked from further editing.
  • Fourth, gather sources. You want independent, professionally published, reliable sources with each discussing the subject in some detail. If you can't find several such sources, stop; an article will not be created! Sources do NOT need to be online, or in English, although it is helpful if at least some are. The "independent" part is vital. Wikipedia does not consider as independent sources such as press releases, or news stories based on press releases, or anything published by the subject itself or an affiliate of the subject. Strictly local coverage is also not preferred. Regional or national newspapers or magazines, books published by mainstream publishers (not self-published), or scholarly journals are usually good. So are online equivalents of these. (Additional sources may verify particular statements but not discuss the subject in detail. But those significant detailed sources are needed first.)
  • Fifth, use the article wizard to create a draft under the articles for creation project. This is always a good idea for an inexperienced editor, but in the case of an editor with a conflict of interest it is essential.
  • Sixth, use the sources gathered before (and other sources you may find along the way) to write the article. Cite all significant statements to sources. Do not express opinions or judgements, unless they are explicitly attributed to named people or entities, preferably in a direct quotation, and cited to a source. Do not use puffery or marketing-speak. Provide page numbers, dates, authors and titles for sources to the extent these are available. A title is always needed. Submit the draft when you think it is ready for review. Be prepared to wait a while for a review (several weeks or more).
  • Seventh, when (well perhaps if) your draft is declined, pay attention to the comments of the reviewer, and correct the draft and resubmit it. During this whole process, if you face any unresolvable editing hurdles, or cannot comprehend any editing issue, feel free to post a request at the Teahouse or the help desk and ask the regulars. Repeat this until the draft passes review.

Congratulations, you have now created a valid Wikipedia article. Victor Schmidt (talk) 13:22, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have reworked the entire article so that it is better sufficient to meet Wikipedia standards.

21:25:46, 19 October 2020 review of draft by Ishanshah012


Hello! I am requesting help for my draft "Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine". This Wikipedia page is for an emergency medicine journal. It is affiliated with another journal, Western Journal of Emergency Medicine (WestJEM), which has its own published Wikipedia page. I followed a similar format to that of WestJEM's and other medical journals, but the draft has not been accepted. What else can I add/change to the draft. Thank you so much, I really appreciate the help! Ishanshah012 (talk) 21:25, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ishanshah012, "Inadequate attempt has been made to address previous advice". Read the advice from the previous reviewers, make changes, and then re-submit after those changes have been completed. Snowycats (talk) 03:31, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Snowycats! Thank you for your feedback! I believe I have addressed the previous advice by adding the references under "Abstracting and Indexing". Those references are published journals and journal databases in which Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine journal is included. If this is not enough information, can this article be accepted as a stub? Thank you!Ishanshah012 (talk) 05:24, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ishanshah012, I don't believe that WP:WEASEL has been addressed. Snowycats (talk) 18:47, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Snowycats! I have made those edits and believe have addressed WP:WEASEL. Is this suitable to re-submit? Thank you! Ishanshah012 (talk) 04:36, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ishanshah012, You are free to submit an article at any point after you have made substantial changes since the past review(s). =) Snowycats (talk) 05:26, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what happened here, as I definitely typed out my decline reasons, which were: He is a cricketer who fails WP:NCRIC (his only listed appearances on Cricinfo are in 6-a-side games) and the references added seem to be WP:ROUTINE coverage of cricket matches.

00:43:42, 20 October 2020 review of submission by FutureEnterprises

I am trying to find the balance between the suggestion to not brag too much or make it sound like an advertisement, with also showing Davey Miller's importance to the surfing world. I wonder if someone familiar with the surfing world of the 80s and 90s might be found to review it and help me word it to match what would fit Wikipedia? It is my first time. Many of Davey Miller's contemporaries that he has actually ranked higher than and had shorter surfing careers have Wikipedia pages. He is sort of a top quarterback that made some amazing records that those in football world admire and respect, but he didn't ever win the superbowl. He is respected by the surfers in that he was after "some good surf" more than being the highest champion. Many of the surfers who tried some of the stunts he has done died, etc. I am waiting for the archives of the surfing magazines to get back to me. He was in the cover and had articles about him at least seven times that he remembers. I could show the covers, they are on his Facebook and Instagra, but we want to verify we have the rights to share them in the Wiki Commons system. When Davey Miller walks on a beach in California and Hawaii people still come up to praise him and tell him how amazing he is, so he is well known and has some "minor fame". His art is starting to become "a thing" in the art world, so I and many others think he is fitting of a Wikipedia article. Maybe we have to wait until the archives of the surfing magazines return our emails (if they have anyone employed to do that). Help and guidance and ideas on how to include or use the magazine covers with possible "rights" issues would be appreciated. If those covers would help establish he is worthy of a Wikipedia article. I see Alex Frey and other people I know have one and Davey Miller is just as famous, if not more. FutureEnterprises (talk) 00:43, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Literally none of the claims your draft makes is cited to a credible secondary source, and it's due to that that your draft is getting declined. The citation requirement is not optional. The draft itself also reads like it's promoting him, which is not acceptable. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 00:50, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, I need help just finishing this article up. The previous Article was created by another user and it was declined by the reviewer. I have edited the existing draft with some more notable references Including those of Lootcase, TVF Tripling, ad films, movie details, personal life[1]. The comment by the first Wikipedia reviewer was based on the first submitted draft by the other user. Yesterday when I submitted the article again, it got declined. The response was "The rejection said that it could be discussed before resubmission". I would greatly appreciate it if you kindly give me some feedback on this article and review this article. Thanks

Tried adding tags to the article for a speedy review but would not accept it as they said there is no draft title to that name :( I'm editing "Tutoroo" to add tags "Language", "Education", and "Companies"

Thank you!

P4muz (talk) 11:14, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@P4muz: I have added them for you. Note that the Inputbox on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Add_WikiProject_tags expects the drafts title including the "Draft:"-Prefix, so "Draft:Tutoroo" in this case. Victor Schmidt (talk) 12:13, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why may drafts not improved be deleted after six months? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.64.170 (talk) 13:19, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

14:51:57, 20 October 2020 review of draft by Danishom


Hi,

I am new to Wikipedia. I created an article about Prof. Shabtay Dikstein, a globally recognized scientist, innovator, scientific author, founder of the Unit of Cell Pharmacology at the Hebrew University Hadassah medical school, founder of international committees and magazines, with multiple medical drugs on the market, and on and on.

When I submitted the draft (I think; working with Wiki is quite unintuitive :( ), I received a bunch of comments (not from a reviewer) on unverifiable sources, and the fact that he was still alive, and so on. I tried to understand how can I verify biographical events of his childhood in Fascist, then Communist Hungary, but received no reply.

The 90 year old Prof. is now suffering from cancer and I don't know how much longer he will live. I was hoping to present to him the Wiki article before he is gone, but I don't know what to do now. I was so frustrated by the process that I abandoned it for many months. Now, that the prof is somewhat recovered from the cancer therapy, I hope that I can complete the process.

Please help me out Thank you Dani Danishom (talk) 14:51, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. I sympathise, but even if he were to perish at this very moment you would still be obligated to have a credible secondary source for every single claim the article makes, as our biographical requirements apply to recent decedants as well. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 15:01, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

15:47:08, 20 October 2020 review of submission by Lewjon

I do not understand why the page does not respect the aim of a publication. I tried to follow as much as possible the structure of every software developer, from Autodesk to Graphisoft. I added references, removed them when it was said that it was too commercial. I just want to add a piece of information about this software developer that is well known in the BIM industry and deserves to be part of the free encyclopedia, not ot mention that it is the most successful software developer in Italy in the AEC sector. How am I supposed to do so? Lewjon (talk) 15:47, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
