08:28:58, 22 August 2020 review of draft by MediaManager1[edit]


Hi. I need help with references. Should the material be exactly relevant to the source used? I changed some of the unreliable source by editing the text/facts to match ghe source reference. Is that how it is supposed to be? Thanks

MediaManager1 (talk) 08:28, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MediaManager1: Yes - if someone wants to check that what you've written is factual they should be able to click the reference and clearly see where you've sourced the information from. What you should be doing is starting with a list of sources which talk about the subject in depth. Then write the article in your own words based on what those sources say. This way you will find it easy to add appropriate references. To do it the other way around, writing something and then trying to find a source for it is much harder and may indicate that you're writing the article based on your personal knowledge rather than from what you've found in reliable sources.

Psyzone222 Sorry, but Wikipedia is not a place for musicians to promote their careers or for people to write about themselves. Please review the autobiography policy. As a musician, you would only merit a Wikipedia article if you receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources showing how you meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable musician. If you do, you shouldn't be the one to write such an article. Someone who takes note of your career will eventually choose to write about you. 331dot (talk) 09:23, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You do not ask a question, but what you wrote is a very long way from a Wikipedia article. A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen to say about a subject, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. You offer no sources at all and no content beyond telling what the subject does. Please see Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 09:44, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Syedmehmood11 (talk) 09:36, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why its rejected?

Syedmehmood11 Your draft was rejected because you do not offer anything beyond telling that the company exists. Wikipedia articles must do more than merely tell that the subjects exists. An article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a subject, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability; in this case, the definition of a notable company. Please read Your First Article for more information. If you work for this company, you need to review conflict of interest and paid editing and make the required declarations(the latter is a Terms of Use requirement if you are a company representative). 331dot (talk) 09:41, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please help me to make it able to publish Syedmehmood11 (talk) 10:59, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Syedmehmood11 The draft will not be considered further. You must make the declarations required by the paid editing and conflict of interest policies now. 331dot (talk) 11:01, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

11:17:31, 22 August 2020 review of submission by Charlie063[edit]

Sir she is noted person her movies have been released its pages is also there also few upcoming movies also facebook has verified her page request you to kindly review again.. Charlie063 (talk) 11:17, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Charlie063 The draft has been rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. The actress appears to not meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable actress. 331dot (talk) 11:18, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Her movcies has been released movie pages is also there in wikipedia request you to re review Charlie063 (talk) 11:19, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Charlie063 Please edit this existing section by clicking "edit", instead of creating additional sections. The draft will not be reviewed again, you are only wasting your own time, and that of others, by repeatedly asking. 331dot (talk) 11:21, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

12:12:37, 22 August 2020 review of submission by 195.132.158.100[edit]


I believe the draft is now much more complete and contains reference showing clear objectivity and not any promotion.

195.132.158.100 (talk) 12:12, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have added YouTube links and interviews neither of which change the fact that the topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 12:42, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

13:56:17, 22 August 2020 review of submission by SeanFitzjohn[edit]


Hi there! I have attached the following 2 sources from IMDB which should verify Zaur as a Wikipedia-worthy article.

1. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11643919/ 2. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12469952/

Hope this suffices, thank you in advance!

SeanFitzjohn (talk) 13:56, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that IMDb is not a reliable source as it is user generated, so has no bearing on any notability. Theroadislong (talk) 14:25, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 14:09:11, 22 August 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Officialtollu[edit]


I do not understand what my reviewer, M-Mustapha means when s/he says that the references I submitted for my article Jamil Muhammed Abubakar doesn't have significant coverage. I'd appreciate it if this can be expatiated on and possible solutions suggested. Thank you

Ankitjdv (talk) 18:04, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ankitjdv: This would need reliable sources (no user-generated content such as most social networks) that are independent of the subject (no interviews or press releases). Victor Schmidt (talk) 09:48, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

18:11:08, 22 August 2020 review of submission by Ankitjdv[edit]

I am back with refrences. Ankitjdv (talk) 18:11, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No... you haven't added any thing that looks like a reference, sorry. Theroadislong (talk) 18:15, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
