Regarding Draft: Daniel W. Greear

Hey there, Bkissin. I'm trying to understand why my article Draft: Daniel W. Greear was rejected. Please let me know how it reads like an advertisement. Thank you [[User: tjbrown1302|tjbrown1302

Decline of Draft:Paul_Jenkins_(Bancroft_Mayor)

Hi, I was surprised to see your decline of []

Guidelines

From WP:POLITICIAN "Generally speaking, mayors of cities of at least regional importance are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city." Bancroft is regionally important. The town's website notes the huge regional important, as a healthcare, tourism, and commercial hub. Sources that support that include: https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/items/002eff73-2fcf-4bd9-9695-67ca714dfabf (page 29 and the Town of Bancroft Economic Development Strategic Plan, I quote "No one disputed that Bancroft is the service hub of north Hastings County"

WP:GNG

GNG is easier to consider. Is there significant coverage of the subject (in independent and reliable sources)? Clearly yes. Here's three easy examples, articles that are all about him:

• https://lfpress.com/news/local-news/ontario-mayor-defends-photo-holding-satans-choice-support-gear
• https://www.pressreader.com/canada/toronto-sun/20260605/281612427078885?srsltid=AfmBOoruwZWZ5wd4GtYlspIIChkki4sqcmTTjo-ARphdKgGTSZ35GW1q
• https://www.mybancroftnow.com/73501/news/municipal-news/town-of-bancroft/bancroft-mayor-defends-photo-at-store-selling-motorcycle-gang-support-clothing/

The significant coverage all appears in the later citations, so maybe you missed those? If that's the case, can you please reconsider the decline? ~2026-37283-35 (talk) 22:49, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Labante Caves moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Labante Caves. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it consists of machine-generated text. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Fermiboson (talk) 07:31, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

No worries Fermiboson! I'm just working through the AfC backlog. If it gets speedy'd, so be it. Bkissin (talk) 19:30, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Restoration of Draft:Dotts Media House

Hello @Bkissin:, thank you for your work on here. I have a page here that was deleted under G11 (Dotts Media House). I intend to do a rewrite of the article to try to fix the promotional language before submiting again for review. Could you please help restore to draft space as I'm willing to commit time to it now. I'll really appreciate this. Thanks againOlakunle Rufai (talk) 14:24, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Comment under Draft:Hell Is a Teenage Girl

Hello! Thank you for giving me feedback for my article. The tour section was included because “Church Club For The Lonely Tour” was performed in support of the EP. This was not made clear and further details have been added. It’s included under the page for “Hell Is a Teenage Girl” because I don’t believe the tour itself is not notable enough to warrant its own article, and could be merged under the greater page. Maybe in the future I will try and create a full article for the tour, but all the details fit well under this article. Valimpacted (talk) 00:37, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

I'd say something like that would warrant a sentence or two at most, but probably not the full schedule, personally. Bkissin (talk) 00:38, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

Review of Draft:Girl In The Year Above

Thanks for reviewing this and for the very helpful input. I have revised the tone of the article and removed content that may be perceived as promotional, focusing instead on factual information derived directly from cited sources. Hopefully this is now sufficient to be published, but if there are still specific areas that read too much as promotional / adverts please let me know and I will correct. Thanks again for your time!

Karnup Station draft acceptance

Hi, I just wanted to let you know regarding your draft acceptance of Karnup Station, that at the time (20 July), an article already previously existed on this topic at Karnup railway station, but had consensus at the time (30 June) to be merged into another article per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karnup railway station. Technically not a content fork I think since the articles never existed simultaneously though. Fork99 (talk) 00:43, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
