01:45:15, 22 July 2022 review of submission by Bennett Blakley[edit]


Bennett Blakley (talk) 01:45, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bennett Blakley: We don't accept unsourced articles, especially where living people are the subject (not to mention "Oddball" is generally a pejorative term and shouldn't be in the title to begin with, see WP:TITLE.). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 01:50, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

01:56:35, 22 July 2022 review of submission by Bennett Blakley[edit]

because I want the best for my article and it would mean a lot. Bennett Blakley (talk) 01:56, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Again, draft is woefully undersourced and the title is an insult. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 01:58, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

14:49:39, 22 July 2022 review of submission by Nuhimorina[edit]


Nuhimorina (talk) 14:49, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is your question, @Nuhimorina? This draft has been rejected. Quite apart from any other issues this may have, it is a) unreferenced, and b) not in English. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:54, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

15:39:15, 22 July 2022 review of submission by Yuri "Yura" Dashevsky[edit]

I'm an official candidate for the US elections, see https://ballotpedia.org/Yuri_Dashevsky and FEC documents. Elections interference has no place in our country. Yuri "Yura" Dashevsky (talk) 15:39, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Yuri "Yura" Dashevsky you are not notable unless you become the president of US later somewhat. QiuLiming1 (talk) 16:26, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Yuri "Yura" Dashevsky: The notability issue aside, Wikipedia is not a place for your campaign announcements or other promotions, nor is it a social media site where you can post information about yourself (not least because AUTOBIOGRAPHIES are strongly advised against) or whatever else you may wish. Even if you one day become notable per WP:NPOL as an elected representative, any article about you must still be written from a neutral, purely factual viewpoint, preferably by someone not connected to you. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:35, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 20:53:48, 22 July 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Major Detail[edit]


My article that I submitted was rejected for being not notable, however the article located at Pressure Cooker (band) is similar to my article and is not mentioned for winning any awards and the notable tidbit is the band using a Kickstarter drive. NOTE: I do not want the comparison article pulled (I love both bands), I just want my article considered in the same light. Draft:Max and the Invaders (previously The Invaders) Thank you for your consideration, Major Major Detail (talk) 20:53, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Major Detail Beware in citing other similar articles as a reason for yours to exist, see other stuff exists. It could be that these other articles are also inappropriate. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, there are many ways inappropriate articles can get by us. We can only address what we know about. Indeed, the article you cited is marked as problematic. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those that are classified as good articles.
For this band to merit a Wikipedia article, you must show with significant coverage in independent reliable sources how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable band. 331dot (talk) 21:06, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

23:08:21, 22 July 2022 review of draft by MusicWizard7[edit]


Would like to get all-clear to resubmit. I added newly written articles on the subject, which should meet the independent sources requirement, and Billboard charts ranking which should suffice the notability requirement for musicians. Thank you for your help.

MusicWizard7 (talk) 23:08, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MusicWizard7: as long as the draft hasn't been rejected, you don't need any permission to resubmit; you resubmit when you feel it's ready to be reviewed. The review will then determine whether it's ready to be published. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:29, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, this draft do have the potential to be accepte. You could submit but I also suggest you add some secondary sources (for example a music review). QiuLiming1 (talk) 06:36, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 23:26:37, 22 July 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Mlebowit[edit]


I have tried to add citations [so many that I wonder if it is overkill] and to use more neutral language. Is it hopeless, though?


Mlebowit (talk) 23:26, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mlebowit Wikipedia and Youtube are totally user-generalized source which is typical not usable. The TOP is inapproiate, links should be in the content of the article. QiuLiming1 (talk) 01:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@QiuLiming1 Actually, the term is "user-generated", not "user-generalized". 71.228.112.175 (talk) 06:52, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! QiuLiming1 (talk) 23:23, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@QiuLiming1 You are welcome. 71.228.112.175 (talk) 08:08, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Creating a AUTOBIOGRAPHY is strongly discouraged in Wikipedia. QiuLiming1 (talk) 01:05, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your comments. I probably should but don't know what 'TOP' is. If Wikipedia indicates links to other Wikipedia entries itself, then my citation [eg., to Marta Harnecker] is unnecessary. The YouTube citations in this case were not user-generated and do provide information that in my view will support the understanding of readers. I should note there are short entries on the subject
on Spanish language sites [1]. 2001:569:5637:500:8CEB:8D52:C4DF:C99A (talk) 22:08, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

23:33:02, 22 July 2022 review of draft by Mc wolfy3[edit]


I was making a Wikipedia article about a game I found on Coolmath Games. Since it was a game and everything I put in article was in the game I thought that the game would be a good enough reference. If that is good enough please confirm the draft. If it is not enough please tell me what i need to put.

Mc wolfy3 (talk) 23:33, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mc wolfy3: We're not GameFAQs. We don't accept game manuals. What you need to do is show that the game has been talked about by reliable sources. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 00:53, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is likely not notable, since coolmathgames.com aren't even notable.--QiuLiming1 (talk) 05:38, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
User:Mc wolfy3, it’s not the sort of think Wikipedia does. To learn what Wikipedia does, get some experience in improving existing content. SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:13, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
