Because I found the best sources for Parmish Verma like India Today, The Times of India, Zee News etc. And you are saying that these newspapers and news are not reliable sources.

[edit]
I changed it and add more information. can you just review it? or give advice?

- Unfortunately, you've not made any assertions of notability for yourself within the article. The article is an autobiography, which is discouraged on Wikipedia. StrikerforceTalk 17:10, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

I have created an article on Dismas Clark. How do I submit it for review? Or have I already submitted it?
- You've already submitted it. Someone will be along, at some point, to review it. This process can take quite some time, however, as the current AfC backlog is well over 2,000 articles. StrikerforceTalk 18:15, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
18:05:42, 9 August 2018 review of submission by Lynxx8
[edit]
Hello,
I am not requesting a re-review just yet as I am not sure what the reviewer is requesting changed. I tried to look it up and the content was too convoluted for me to understand, hence my post on here (hope this is an appropriate section for a clarification). The reviewer did not approve for the following reason: Please remove the inline links. I am not sure what "inline links" are, even after reading the inline linking page on Wikipedia. It was difficult to understand since I have no basic understanding of what an "inline link" is. The Wikipedia says it is a media image but the page has none on it. Can someone please clarify for me? It would be extremely helpful.
Thanks! Lynxx8 (talk) 18:05, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- You are attempting to include links to external sites within the article itself, rather than as appropriate external links at the end of the article. StrikerforceTalk 18:14, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
My draft was declined because it did not prove notability. However, the article includes information that satisfies multiple notability criteria for academics. Is the problem that I need more reliable sources to back up those criteria or is there a way I can make it more clear that the criteria are met?
Rnf1811 (talk) 18:16, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Rnf1811. See Wikipedia:Writing better articles, and more specifically Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Lead section. The first sentence or two of the draft should explain which notability criteria for academics Agyeman satisfies. At present the lead says he's employed as a professor of something somewhere (nothing especially remarkable in that) and that he created the concept of just sustainabilities.
- The last part has potential with regard to criterion #1, "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline", but the requirement goes on to say "as demonstrated by independent reliable sources". This is not one of the easier criteria to demonstrate. It is not enough to cite Agyeman for it. Agyeman can proclaim "Eureka! I've come up with the idea of foo, and it's really important", but that doesn't make it so. The draft needs to cite other people who credit Agyeman with the idea and who say it's significant within urban planning. At present there's nothing in the body of the draft about what the concept is, when it was created, or why it's important.
- If he satisfies other notability criteria for academics, those belong in the lead as well. You may find it useful to study Wikipedia's best biographies, such as Mark Satin, Otto Julius Zobel, and Norman Selfe, to see these ideas in practice. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:44, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Worldbruce. This is a very delayed response but I made edits to try to follow your suggestions (I included more information about his notability in the beginning and I am still waiting to get my draft through. I think I edited the lead correctly but I would love some feedback on if I need to be more explicit in the lead. I chose not to try to show the importance of the "just sustainabilities" concept because I thought it would come off too promotional, but if you think there is a way to do that while maintaining a neutral tone I would appreciate advice on that as well. Thank you! Rnf1811 (talk) 18:59, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
