Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Will Thompson (Actor) (November 29)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Mcmatter was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Since apparently no better sources exists this topic fails WP:N

McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 01:02, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are you aware that this subject has more written articles then most on here? Why is this being rejected? Please advise, thank you. Real Factual Content (talk) 01:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put, no, since none of the sources in the draft were usable to establish notability as none of them were independent. One was a press release, one was an interview and the other was a SEO/biography site most likely written by the subject or their marketing team. I am willing to reverse the rejection if you actual work on improving the draft with actual sources that satisfy WP:RS and remove anything that is not supported by said sources. McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 01:34, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a few articles we found that we used in making our decision in doing a write up on the subject. You stated "One was a press release; one was an interview and the other was a SEO/biography site most likely written by the subject, or their marketing team" could you please explain to us how did you see that because we missed it completely and would hate to make any further mistakes in our submission. Thanks.

This is a lot of garbage - most, if not all, of these are known paid placement/SEO sites or scrapers. I can see from the spam blacklist log and the draft that you've attempted to add, or added, others that are clearly promotional. Please stop; clarify the request below before making any other edits. Sam Kuru (talk) 03:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We are definitely not paid for this. We are simply moviegoers who started looking for more information about the filmmaker and we saw that lots to the talent he worked with had Wikipedia pages with info except him.

We are no more than fans of his work. So apologize if the things we have attempted seemed to upset you. However we're not sure what is paid promo and what's not. We're extremely familiar with Rolling Out and that's a major publication where we're from as well as Reel Chicago the others were not to sure about but sir I can assure you that we are definitely not getting paid for this. Real Factual Content (talk) 04:38, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Who is "we"? Why do you feel that "rolling out" is a "major publication"? Did you check the "author"? Sam Kuru (talk) 11:46, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We is speaking of the fan club including myself. I don't feel that it is I know that it is. In the urban community Rolling Out magazine is a go to source for entertainment and urban news. Based on that is the reason I and we feel that it is. Yes, we have and she writes for the publication regularly from what it appears. She has several articles that she's contributed to the publication. It's been around for 25 years. No different than Reel Chicago. It's a local publication that has been around for years and they've written a review on his short film Related Destiny. What are your thoughts?

November 2022

Hello Real Factual Content. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Real Factual Content. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Real Factual Content|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Sam Kuru (talk) 03:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
