{{SAFESUBST:Void|

Hello, good morning! I've already edited my draft according to the pointers I were given. I'm unsure of what it is still rejected. May I ask for another person to relook at it? Thank you! JasmineJLM7 (talk) 01:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One of my article has been declines on being "describing about my self". While I a social worker and had made much Litigation for Public Cause in Indian Courts, i wanted to make people know, how we can be successful in bringing social change though process of Law. But before I could add the details, my article was declined by some administrator in hurry. I think it should be allowed or should be deleted after 24 hours or more when it is fully edited. On primary stage, deleting an article is not appreciated.

Further already their are so many articles. One of such Article is "Hemant Goswami" The person is living and all the information is personal achievements. If this article is approved, I have appeal for Equality and fair justice.

You should use the sandbox to create articles from now on, once they are placed on a draft page or submitted for AfC, then this opens them up to being speedy deleted and or declined. Please also understand that just because another article exists doesn't mean another one should exist. No article has any bearing or merit on whether another article should exist.

I have submitted the article four different times. Each time I have asked for help and received help in writing the article according to the guidelines. After having the article reviewed by someone in the help chat I submit it and it keeps getting declined because it isn't "Notable" All of the articles I have posted are third party articles from magazines etc that back up the information from the article. I do not know what else to do to get this article posted.

I've approved it. It was borderline last time I reviewed it. I'm not sure why it was rejected last time, you would specifically have to ask that editor. Sulfurboy (talk) 15:38, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

15:01:05, 3 August 2015 review of submission by Robert McClenon

[edit]


I reviewed Draft:PULSAR: Lost Colony and declined it, saying that it did not provide adequate evidence of notability. The author questioned the decline on my talk page, User talk:Robert McClenon. I suggested that he find reviews. He said that the game is in pre-Beta, but said that it is notable and that other games in pre-Beta are listed. I am requesting that other reviewers either agree with me and explain to the author, or agree with the author and accept the article. Thank you.

I'd be a bit careful how you phrase this, it's borderline WP:CANVAS. If he keeps submitting without fixing anything just submit it to AfD. Sulfurboy (talk) 15:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It truly is not canvassing to ask people to agree with one person or another, It is impartial. Fiddle Faddle 15:59, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe it was a typo, or I'm horribly confused, but wouldn't asking someone to come agree with you be the definition of canvassing Timtrent?
A game in pre-beta is most unlikely to be notable, and there is no evidence that this one is an exception. The presence of some unacceptable articles in WIkipedia is not a valid reason for adding more unacceptable articles. Maproom (talk) 06:38, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure exactly how I can modify the page from sounding less like an advertisement. It's meant to be a biography of a semi-famous radio personality that I thought was missing from Wikipedia's library. I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks, Steven

The statement "Alex is one of the best interviewers in the business and is known for putting his guests at complete ease and getting exclusive content" does not sound impartial, and is sourced to his employer. Delete that and similar promotion, and it will sound less like an advert. Maproom (talk) 20:31, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

22:02:44, 3 August 2015 review of submission by Etna805

[edit]

A recent article for submission was sent back unfortunately regarding sources, "The sources are either not independent or have no coverage of the college. Please find independent references." The College of Mohs surgery is referenced numerous times on the site, www.skincancermohssurgery.org/, and all the references seem very contextual within the article. Looking at the entire profile of outside sources which discuss the procedure and it's relation to the college I'm having trouble dissecting what came up short. I did find a link that was broken in the current state and will be edited before re-submission. Would any of the community out there be able to help guide me as to what specific sources would be unreliable and what steps might be taken to improve? Thanks in advance! The TeaHouse is such a great resource for page creators and editors!

I can give you a somewhat better guide. If you are still stuck I may be able to have a go tomorrow. If you need that please ask me on my talk page. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources.
Your job is to look at each of your references with respect to those strict criteria, and determine which fit and which do not. Fiddle Faddle 22:05, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
