Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Robert Schotter

Hi,

My submission was declined on 8 April 2014 by Josve05a because in his opinion the submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability.

In 2005 Robert Schotter won the: Ernst-Schneider-Preis of the Commercial and Industrial Chamber Frankfurt, Germany category technology for the film Aufzüge. The Ernst-Schneider-Preis is one of the finest awards/prizes for journalists for the German-language media market. There is a Wikipedia-page on the Ernst-Schneider-Preis, however in German language only: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst-Schneider-Preis

Please also note that Robert Schotter has an extensive filmography as noted on his German Wipipedia page: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Schotter or on his English IMDb profile http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3323585/?ref_=fn_al_nm_2. I will add these information to the page in question as soon as the submission is accepted.

Thanks and regards, Karin Karinsoika (talk) 09:36, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've declined this, again. IMDB is not considered a reliable source. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 07:35, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/MORE-on Productions

Why was the article about MORE-on Productions rejected? There is no article about it on Wikipedia and it is a production company located in Wisconsin. Very little is written about it because the company refuses to buy advertisements on principle. 184.21.184.29 (talk) 12:50, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Advertisements wouldn't help. To have an article on Wikipedia, it is not enough just to exist. For companies, the criteria that must be met are given at this link. Based on the information given in your draft, there are not independent, reliable sources that other people have written about this company at this time. Note that product sites (such as amazon.com) do not establish notability. You might also want to see Wikipedia:Autobiography. I hope that helps!

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Your submission Scarebears

I am trying to create an article on a business that I started with my husband that has really taken off. I do not know how to cite it or how to lay it out. The only way to verify is to put links to the webpage, can I do that? This is my first time and I want to make sure I get it right. ThanksNannypoohead (talk) 15:01, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you're unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies, the best thing is to hold tight and just concentrate on your company. If it really has taken off, a Wikipedia regular will probably write it. It never hurts to wait. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 15:28, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Nannypoohead. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to promote your business. Please read the inclusion criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) very carefully before even trying to create a draft. The short answer is that if the only coverage of your business is what your website says about it, then it comprehensively fails the notability criteria and trying to create an article about it is a waste of your time and ours. It will not be accepted. I also suggest you read the guidelines at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest before going any further with this. Voceditenore (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Electing to remove an article I've created from AfC

I have recently uploaded an article to AfC (Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ayscoghe Boucherett). I have uploaded a similar article (Sir William Earle Welby, 1st Baronet) to the main content space and it has been reviewed successfully; I think that this article would be appropriate as well. He was a Member of Parliament in the UK, so I think he will meet the notability criteria. Is there a way I can opt to put the article straight into the main content area and remove him from AfC? Thanks, Noswall59 (talk) 17:02, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! This is an excellent article, Noswall59. As you can see, I've moved it into article space at Ayscoghe Boucherett. In future, just go ahead and create your articles directly as you did with Sir William Earle Welby, 1st Baronet. Best wishes, many thanks for your work, and welcome to Wikipedia! Voceditenore (talk) 17:26, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back so quickly! Your comments are good to hear. I will check up on those details for Sir William (as per my talk page) and will, in future, put articles straight out onto the main space unless I have significant doubt about it. Thanks again, Noswall59 (talk) 18:08, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In general terms, our guidelines for political figures suggest anyone who has ever been an MP in the UK should have an article, which can be easily verified by looking at their entries in the Parliamentary Hansard. Like Voceditenore said, you've got the hang of new content, so you're probably safe enough to create new articles directly in mainspace now. Have you considered filing a Did you Know? entry, so your article can be linked for a short time on Wikipedia's front page? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 18:52, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While I had hoped they would be considered notable, I was aware that these were relatively minor MPs, so I wasn't sure, but thank you for letting me know. I will look into the DYK in the morning - I hadn't considered it before. I will keep working away at some more MPs and hopefully some more articles will follow. You've all been very helpful and all your feedback has been constructive, so thank you very much. Best wishes, Noswall59 (talk) 23:13, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bo Barry

How do I start a new infobox to add to entry. The tutorial on new inboxes begins 'find the infobox'. I need to start one. ChrisKassel (talk) 19:57, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, ChrisKassel. "Finding the infobox" means finding the template that matches the type of the article subject. For example, there are templates like {{infobox book}} and {{infobox company}} for books and companies, respectively. There is an entire list, but to save you some time, I believe {{infobox musical artist}} is the most appropriate for this one.
