Could you help with my draft:KTZT-CD? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TulsaOklahoma (talk • contribs) 01:16, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TulsaOklahoma, As the reviewer noted, you need more reliable sources in order to show notability, per our notability criteria for broadcast media. Curbon7 (talk) 00:33, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not host personal stories. Perhaps a reading of our article on Encyclopedia should give you more of an idea on what is acceptable and not acceptable here? Victor Schmidt (talk) 06:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I have a question about notability regarding my article about Jan-Wouter Oostenrijk. There have been quite a few publications that discuss his career as a musician but they are mostly in Dutch. I assume I cannot use these Dutch texts on the English page? There is already a Dutch Wikipedia page for him with significant links. Is that considered to build notability? I could really use your input here! Thanks in advance, Akke Pinkster

It is not required that sources be in English. It helps, but it is not required. See WP:NOENG. 331dot (talk) 12:10, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I cant figure out my mistake with the references? Shelbyhoward423 (talk) 14:21, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Shelbyhoward423, It doesn't seem as though your draft is notable, per our notability criteria for lists. As a previous reviewer noted, Wikipedia is neither an indiscriminate collection of information nor a database. Curbon7 (talk) 00:40, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

20:15:06, 2 July 2021 review of submission by One k tone[edit]

Hello, I submitted a new page for posting but was not accepted because it reads like "an advertisement." I thought it was written objectively and am now I'm looking for advice on what edits I can make to have this accepted. Thank you! One k tone (talk) 20:15, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello One k tone, I agree with the reviewer this is almost entirely written like something we would find in a pamphlet trying to sell space in this vault. What the article should based on is only what others have written about it in reliable sources. We write in our own words and don't succumb to the marketing lingo. So avoid terms like "Premium" and "High-tech". I would remove the entire Facilities section as this is entirely promotional, not encyclopedic and unreferenced. The first reference is not helping either as it does not discuss the subject at all and the story being supported by it is then falling into Original Research territory. The second reference is to Wikipedia itself and this is a academic misdemeanor, we don't use Wikipedia as a source. We either wikilink the article or find the actual source in the article to support the information. Lastly avoid references that are press releases, these can be hard to tell sometimes but the Malibu Magazine very much reads like a press release. At this point I am not willing to offer a determination on notability. Please also read through WP:CORPDEPTH as well. The way this is written and the information included there may also be a concern with conflict of interest editing. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 21:07, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
