May 18[edit]
Hi, I have tried to use the help page and direct contact but had problems entering it, anyway: I submitted an article on Down Autograss, of which I am the founder member (Cavan Ferrie) the submission was refused on the grounds of non verification. This is the 25th anniversary of the formation of the club and is surely by now an established organisation under the regulation of a national governing body (national autograss sport association) I can verify my ID and therefore as the founder, also any factual information. I trust this information will resolve the problem/issue Kind regards, Cavan Ferrie (Cavan in Crete) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cavan in Crete (talk • contribs) 10:14, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
- No, we require that submissions have references listed therein, that 'verify' what you have written. These references need to be reliable and independent, several of them. See the verifiability policy and WP:VRS. Pol430 talk to me 17:00, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi there... regarding the article I wrote I added 2 different references and still an automatic reply appears saying that's not enough... why? Can you help me please! I was involved in that incident that the article speaks about, so i care about it. thank you rafeekRafeekwal (talk) 12:24, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
- Not notable enough for a stand alone article, per WP:AIRCRASH. Merge with Indira Gandhi International Airport. Pol430 talk to me 17:04, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi there,
I am curious as to why this has been rejected; the company is notable as it is a top 50 (24th) largest IT company in the US, it employs several thousand people globally and has numerous awards this year - all referenced from independent sources... any clues as to why it is not considered notable and the references are being ignored?

I asked a question (#7.4) and got a quick and satisfying answer but now I keep getting Help Desk matters on my watchlist that have nothing to do with me. How can I stop getting these notices? Thanks.--Evarose3 (talk) 12:59, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Dear reviewer
I am having trouble finding other references on line for Brian Stacey, mostly due to the fact that he died in 1996 and there is not much on-line from then or earlier.
At this stage the draft webpage relies mostly on a report from The Age newspaper. The Age is one of Australia's oldest and most reputable newspapers - surely it is a reliable source?
The draft article includes many objective facts that go to establish Mr Stacey's notability - for example that he conducted various high profile musical performances in Australia, such as "Phantom of the Opera" etc. These are objective facts referenced in one of Australia's most reputable newspapers. I do not understand why that is not enough for publication - it seems no less supported than many other article on Wikipedia.
I would be most obliged if you could please review the draft article again.

- Reviewers are very unlikely to accept an article without multiple sources i.e. newspapers, magazines or authoritative books. They do not need to be online sources, though if they are offline please try and provide enough information to make verification a possibility. Sionk (talk) 02:04, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
