Reethulingam (talk) 06:39, 28 January 2015 (UTC) Hi Editor,[reply]

I wanted to know whether the article is declined or in hold for review. I have updated citation as per guidelines and kindly let me know on any other additions in article. Reethulingam (talk) 06:39, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Reethulingam: no Declined The draft reads more like a business index than an encyclopedic entry. One mention in The Financial Express doesn't make the case for notability. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:20, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

18:11:04, 28 January 2015 review of submission by Cameron Cunningham[edit]


Hi there friendly wiki gods. I'm so frustrated. I've tried rewriting an re-editing this draft so many times and each time, I wait weeks only for it to be rejected again. I believe I am providing good solid references and the company is very notable due to the fact that they were one of first of its kind. Please help! At a loss as to how I can improve it yet again.

Cameron Cunningham (talk) 18:11, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cameron Cunningham: Wikipedia doesn't judge notability based on how important a company is or whether it was first of its kind -- it judges it based on significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article. This means that you need to find significant coverage of the company itself, not just a directory listing or an article that just mentions the company. That coverage needs to be in a reliable source, which means a source such as a newspaper with an editorial policy or a book by a recognized expert in the field, not a blog or a website that accepts user submissions of content. That content also needs to be independent of the company, so it can't be affiliated with the company OR a story based on a press release or interview. --Ahecht (TALK

18:15:19, 28 January 2015 review of submission by Cameron Cunningham[edit]


Is there something kooky going on with the articles to be reviewed number? I submitted this article weeks ago and I see it's still pending review and also, the number to be reviewed shifts from over 2000 to under 2000 to over 2000 again and I'm checking back in regularly. Surely they are all in a queue together.

Cameron Cunningham (talk) 18:15, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cameron Cunningham: Articles aren't necessarily reviewed in order. Depending on the complexity of the article, the category that the subject fits in to, and how clear-cut the case for acceptance or rejection is, the review process may take anywhere from days to as long as 4-6 weeks. --Ahecht (TALK

22:05:05, 28 January 2015 review of submission by CeeCeeL81[edit]


Hello, I was trying to submit my page of a book called The Power of Will. but it got rejected because the page is already exist but there were no page of it and I can find it. Please help me check again. Thank you very much.

The mainspace article The Power of Will was deleted on 18 December 2014 because it failed to demonstrate that the book is independently notable. Your draft also fails to prove notability as you have only a single reference which does not seems to be an independent reliable source. You need to find (and reference) review articles about the book that have appeared in the mainstream media such as newspapers, magazines or literary journals.
