- Draft:Kyla Carter (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am requesting a review of the references cited to prove notability. There are over 20 published news and magazine articles solely talking about the artist and her work. I have just added a reference to her NBC6 news interview that has recently been released. More can be provided if necessary.

WilsonJamesSmith (talk) 00:22, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. The fact that you added lots of references actually is a red flag that the sources in general are likely inappropriate for establishing notability. Several of them are interviews, which are a primary source. Wikipedia is interested in what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person. Please see Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 00:27, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I recently came across the Bank of Sydney draft and saw it was rejected for lack of independent sources. I went through and added a few sources to cover the summary and history and resubmitted it, at which point it has been declined for not having enough content, and a suggestion that it be merged with the Bank of Beirut.

I don't think it should be merged with the Bank of Beirut, since even though they have the same parent company, they operate in totally different countries with different regulatory frameworks and government guarantees. I also doubt an Australian looking up Australian banks would think to search for Bank of Beirut when they want Bank of Sydney.

The draft has a similar content structure to several other Australan bank's pages for example Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, Beyond Bank Australia, St.George Bank and other foreign owned banks like HSBC Bank Australia, ING Australia, Citibank Australia, but with less actual content. How much content is needed to make the page ready for publication?

Would appreciate suggestions to improve the draft.

I have created a new draft " Myc associated Synthetic Lethality" and I want it to be reviewed. However, I just have an option to Publish it. How do it get it reviewed? As per the earlier suggestion, i have added a link in the current draft to which the reviewers had asked to work on. Vidhula A (talk) 06:57, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well @Vidhula A, it is quite simple - you need to click the blue button "Submit the draft for review". Please be patient, we have several thousands drafts waiting for review, it can take up months for the review. CommanderWaterford (talk) 08:11, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How can I create a Wikipedia page? N-USO (talk) 09:23, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

N-USO You have already created a draft article, submitting it, and it was declined. Pleass review the advice given by the reviewer. Your draft has no independent reliable sources to support its content. For more information on creating articles, please read Your first article. 331dot (talk) 09:45, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Happycontentme (talk · contribs)

I am new. I don't know html/coding. I am in grad school, and I reached out to Suman Fernando after reading some of his work. I told him that he should be on Wikipedia and said I could help him post his Bio.

I have spent a few hours trying to figure out what I am supposed to do, but I am still confused...

How do I cite him as my living source??

Thank you, Erica WangHappycontentme (talk) 14:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Happycontentme (talk) 14:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Happycontentme You don't, as interviews are a primary source. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person. Wikipedia is not interested in what someone wants to say about themselves.

Wikipedia articles are typically written without any involvement from the subject, or even awareness. Since you are in communication with the subject, you have a conflict of interest, please review that policy. 331dot (talk) 14:29, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would also be wary about telling people they should have Wikipedia articles. There are good reasons to not want one. 331dot (talk) 14:31, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Paul Khavari (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello,

Can you be more specific on what I need to fix? It looks like all the articles listed have a correct citation and they are pubmed articles. What is that is not working? In the decline in February it was requested to do in-line citation. I did correct and resubmit and the 2nd decline in March are they now asking for to do footnotes. I am a little confused. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Mikip1015 (talk) 18:31, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mikip1015 Your draft is basically a list of accomplishments, and not an encyclopedia article. A Wikipedia article needs to 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, a notable academic). It shouldn't just be a list(even if you have cited it all). Please see Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 19:24, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mikip1015: You might want to look at some example articles from our Good Article or Featured Article selections. I'm picking Benedict Cumberbatch at random. If you look at how the article is structured, we typically go:

Statement of fact, then a reference that supports that statement.

So looking at Cumberbatch:

Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch was born on 19 July 1976<ref name=tvg>{{cite web| url = https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/benedict-cumberbatch/354194| title=Benedict Cumberbatch| work=[[TV Guide]] | access-date=11 November 2015 | archive-date=30 October 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151030151758/http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/benedict-cumberbatch/354194/ | url-status=dead}}</ref>
at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in the London district of Hammersmith,<ref>{{cite news |last=Culbertson |first=Alix |date=5 November 2014 |url=http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/news/local-news/kensington-heartthrob-benedict-cumberbatch-gets-8056486 |title=Kensington heartthrob Benedict Cumberbatch gets engaged to Hammersmith girlfriend |newspaper=Ealing Gazette |publisher=[[Trinity Mirror]] |access-date=27 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170328105739/http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/news/local-news/kensington-heartthrob-benedict-cumberbatch-gets-8056486 |archive-date=28 March 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref>
to actors Timothy Carlton (born Timothy Carlton Congdon Cumberbatch) and Wanda Ventham.<ref>{{cite news|last=Stanford|first=Peter|title=It's no good, Benedict Cumberbatch can't stop us liking him|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/9485074/Its-no-good-Benedict-Cumberbatch-cant-stop-us-liking-him.html|work=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|date=18 August 2012|access-date=3 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180528134903/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/9485074/Its-no-good-Benedict-Cumberbatch-cant-stop-us-liking-him.html|archive-date=28 May 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

So that is essentially what you'd need to do at the Khavari article. Also, all of the inline-links to external websites (for instance, the bulk of the award section) should be removed. Each notable award the subject won should be followed by a properly-formatted reference that proves the subject won each award, similar to what is shown above.

Trubbleinthebubble (talk) 22:54, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious what to do with this page since it is a translation of the German page.

Hi Trubbleinthebubble, the draft has no references at all. Thus there is no evidence of the subject's existence let alone his notability. See the Referencing for beginners guide. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 23:08, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question about reason of reject

- No draft specified!

I have tried to publish two times, but it still gets reject. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Coast_Guard_Law_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China_(2)) The latest reason is about "Needs template cleanup". However, can anyone say more clearly what wrong with my template? thank you so much

Edmondmkw (talk) 22:56, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Edmondmkw I do not understand that rationale either. Please ask -noah- to explain their rationale. We must all be able to explain what we mean Fiddle Faddle 19:58, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Edmondmkw: The AfC template was in the middle of the article, the article duplicated itself and the article didn't have a section for references. Noah ^💬 20:08, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
