- No draft specified!

Knowledge searcher 1 (talk) 01:03, 19 July 2016 (UTC) I tried to submit an article, so that one seeking information on a certain person would not be redirected to a page on a celebrity rapist. It was denied, even though it came from recognized and reliable sources: even from the person themselves, and with references. So, where are the mistakes, other then I wasted my time dealing with people who will only allow themselves and their friends to submit articles. As many articles on the internet is stating about Wikipedia descending to an oligarchy, which after this experience I am starting to believe and agree with. Below is my article show me my mistakes and how to correct them.By the way I took the example for this article from an article that was published.[reply]

[redacted - Please do not insert whole draft articles here for our review. Please request that your draft be undeleted via requests for undeletion to user space or draft space for review instead. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:37, 19 July 2016 (UTC)][reply]

Is it possible to use sources in a different language than english? And would you accept sources like stock market information and such?

Hi BN Berlin. Non-English sources are fine, although equivalent English ones are preferred when available. The answer to your second question depends on what you mean by "stock market information and such", and on how those sources are used. To demonstrate notability, the draft needs in-depth, independent, reliable, secondary sources. For companies, this usually means articles with at least several paragraphs directly about them in major financial publications like The Financial Times, Les Échos and Focus Money, or mainstream newspapers and magazines like Tageblatt, Le Monde, and Der Spiegel. A stock quote is of little use because it is not in-depth. Stock analysts' published reports can demonstrate notability, as long as they contain substantive analysis and don't merely repeat information supplied by the company (such as from their annual report). Browse Wikipedia's featured articles about business for examples of the range of sources that can be used. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:50, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if I can use my sandbox to create another Wikipedia page while my "Ilona Kronstein" draft is awaiting review. Rotide123 (talk) 16:35, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Rotide123: Yes, you may. When the draft was moved to Draft:Ilona Kronstein, your sandbox became a redirect to the draft. It often isn't obvious to new editors how to turn their redirected sandbox back into an ordinary sandbox. Click User:Rotide123/sandbox. Because it is a redirect, it will take you to the draft, but in small letters under the name of the draft will be the text (Redirected from User:Rotide123/sandbox). Click that link to go to the sandbox itself.

Edit the sandbox and replace:

#REDIRECT [[Draft:Ilona Kronstein]]

{{R from move}}

with:

{{User sandbox}}

See Help:Redirect for more information. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:11, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
