Bhawika Mehra, No question has been specified. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 06:02, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bhawika Mehra, In reading your draft, it is not supported by reliable and independent sources. It also reads like an advertisement, and is overly promotional in nature. It needs a rewrite and new sources to enter Wikipedia. However, it does not appear suffucient sources exist at this time, which is why the submission was declined as non-notable. There are 8 billion people, and very few qualify for inclusion. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 06:06, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Meethashimn, your draft was declined for being not sufficiently notable - please see wp:42, a condensed version of this policy.
We require all articles to meet this standard, so that content in the article can be verified. If reliable sourcing doesn't exist, we can't confirm that the article is correct, thus we can't have an article.
Additionally, If you are being paid to create articles, or are creating articles are part of your employment, you are required to disclose this - WP:PAID, and to follow the Conflict of Interest editing guidelines - WP:COI. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 10:03, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

10:52:35, 16 October 2019 review of submission by VonWerdt

[edit]


Hello everyone! An article I've written was recently declined and the message I got referred me to here, if I have any questions about how to fix things. For some context: I'm to write an article here on wikipedia about my professor of roman law. (I'm her assistant.) I've already successfully done so in german, my native language. I translated the article to english myself, as I'm bilingual, not really changing anything. The article was pending for a while and I just saw now that it was declined for the reason: "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."

I take this to mean that the article lacks independet sources on the subjectmatter. I admit, the only reference in the article is a reference to a book she co-published. However I don't believe there are any other references I could add, since she doesn't have a biography written about her. I linked her info-pages from the universities she works in under "Weblinks". Perhaps I should move those to "References"? I'm not sure how I could change the article so it fits the criteria better. The exact same version in german was accepted rather quickly, which surprises me even more. I also worked on a chinese version with some colleagues from China and I know they had some issues at first as well but those seme to have been cleared. Any help or suggestion is very welcome.

VonWerdt (talk) 10:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Since there are no independent biographies, you will instead have to consider the impact of her work. Has any one else written substantially about what she has written, say a review or counter argument? WP:NPROF talks about requirements for articles on academics, if the cannot pass WP:GNG, the general notability guidlines. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:26, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Would you please tell us what is wrong with our wikipedia page named "Alex Bros Jewellers" we have created and what changes we must do to get it approved. The page was created under the username "dancetome". The other pages we referred which are our competitors have been approved. Please guide us through the process.

WHY IS IT REJECTED? ANOTHER JEWELLER AGAIN

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hill_Jeweller

@Dancetome: The reason it was rejected was it was very promotional. Promotional wording includes " strong foundation" "the cornerstone" "adorned" "deep understanding" "finest quality" "inspired " "authenticity and expertise" "unparalleled" "exclusive encounter between elegance". The Michael Hill Jeweller page is not fantastic, but at least it is neutrally written, and does not extol the virtues of their merchandise. Instead it has plenty of history. See if you can find what newspapers and magazines have written about Alex Bros Jewellers, and base your writings on that. Greek language material is OK too.

REJECTION OF MY PAGE Dcs ifm (talk) 12:34, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dcs ifm, your draft was declined for being too promotional - Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to promote your business.
If you are being paid to create articles, or are creating articles are part of your employment, you are required to disclose this - WP:PAID, and to follow the Conflict of Interest editing guidelines - WP:COI. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 12:36, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

13:23:06, 16 October 2019 review of draft by UMMAA

[edit]


Hello, I am in the process of editing this submission to make it comply with feedback from previous editors. In the case of this institution, most of the relevant sources are internal to the University of Michigan, though not published by the museum itself. Are these viewed as outside sourcing? UMMAA (talk) 13:23, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should you return with a new username, the problem with the draft is not notability, as is the case with most rejected drafts, more the style. At the moment, the article is written in a promotional style you would expect from a company's website, not the formal style exceptected from an encyclopedia. For example, the first statement in the article is that it is known for its contribution to the understanding of a global human history. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 14:44, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, if you are being paid to create articles, or are creating articles are part of your employment, you are required to disclose this and follow the paid editing policy - WP:PAID, and to follow the Conflict of Interest editing guidelines - WP:COI. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 14:48, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

15:30:37, 16 October 2019 review of submission by Alexander Andronkin

[edit]

Comparing my page with other Wiki pages, we (meaning this company I work for, we only want to have an information presence on Wikipedia like all companies) assume that by 'multiple indepth sources' you refer to the References section. All other areas from what I can see are for linking to other wiki pages, and I've added a number of those links. So, I now have added extra Resources links to the page. We are a fairly young company so do not have lots of external sources, but I assume that young companies are not barred for this, only for trying to be salesy which I have not done. Please let me know if there is anything further you require. Alexander Andronkin (talk) 15:30, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander Andronkin, firstly, if you are being paid to create articles, or are creating articles are part of your employment, you are required to disclose this - WP:PAID, and to follow the Conflict of Interest editing guidelines - WP:COI.
Secondly Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a place to promote your business.
Your draft was declined as the company does not have significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic - see wp:42. If these criteria aren't met, we can't have an article, simply because it is not possible to verify the article is true. If these sources don't exist, there is nothing you can do other than wait for them to exist - please read Wikipedia:No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 17:00, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


It has been 12 weeks seeks we last resubmitted this page, and still have not heard anything... can someone please look into this ASAP and let me know what we can do on our end to help move this process along? We first submitted this almost 4 months ago!

18:19:46, 16 October 2019 review of submission by Milljohner

[edit]


Hello, the article I created and wrote for our company, GameMine, has been rejected. I have cited sources with strong credibility and authority e.g. TechCrunch. Why am I being rejected despite being entirely fact-based? thank you. Warm regards, John

Milljohner (talk) 18:19, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

for helpers, the draft is Draft:GameMine ~~ OxonAlex - talk 09:09, 17 October 2019 (UTC) [reply]
Milljohner, Many of the sources are not adequete. The MarketsInsider source is actually just a PR news release, which means its not independent. The Bloomberg source is not WP:SIGCOV. I'm on the fence about using Cheddar as a source; I need to clarify whether its suitable. I would say: try to find additional sources if possible. That can only help you. Also, make sure the article is neutrally worded so as to avoid being declined for advertising. Keep up the work, and with luck you should get it approved.

Hi PK2112. On Wikipedia, a page is renamed by moving it to a new name. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:57, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


THIS IS RIDICULOUS YOU MUST ACCEPT THIS PAGE OH AND BY THE WAY SINGLES FROM EPs ARE NOT SINGLES FROM ALBUMS TOO AND CAN I LET YOU KNOW THAT THAT’S WHAT I LIKE by BRUNO MARS WAS RELEASED ON JANUARY 30, 2016 I never made that edit but it’s right, check genius

And by the way acccept this right now there is no reason all of your reasons to delete it and decline it are incorrect. If you’re not happy with the page, you should be helping me with it, not deleting it. Wikipedia Editing is about editing, not deleting and declining. By the way, it’s a fact that you always lie lie lie you just keep on lying and lying Again this whole website is a whole lie and if you decline this again I’m going to tell you that this website is ruined and I don’t want you to do this again. You can’t. So fix up this website and make it reliable.

CheatCodes4ever (talk) 21:30, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CheatCodes4ever, Lets have a look at the notability criteria for albums:
  • Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it - No
  • The single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart No - the Billboard Comedy Albums Chart isn't a national chart
  • The recording has been certified gold or higher in at least one country It has not
  • The recording has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award No
  • The recording was performed in a medium that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. - Nope
  • The recording was in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network - It was not
  • The recording has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network - it has not
If you can prove the album meets any of those criteria, it can have an article. Otherwise, it can not. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 09:01, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
CheatCodes4ever, Also your userpage shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how Wikipedia works - You’re supposed to make pages of everything. Please read both WP:Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and WP:EVERYTHING ~~ OxonAlex - talk 09:05, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
