Hosts, should this phone number and DOB be redacted? 73.127.147.187 (talk) 03:59, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm contacting oversight. (The DoB isn't oversightable as they're over the age of majority; the phone number *is*.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 04:56, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. 73.127.147.187 (talk) 11:31, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My Articles of Creation Draft: Dr. Ujjwal Patni was rejected on the grounds that references are not strong enough and I need help with making the article better


The article was rejected and the editor says the references are not good enough. I have added the most prominent news links and editorials to support the article and I need help with making the article a success.

Rave lakshya (talk) 05:26, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rave lakshya: the problem here is that your sources cannot make up for in quantity what they lack in quality. We need to see significant coverage of this person, in multiple reliable and independent secondary sources. What we don't need to see is press release regurgitations like this, which quite frankly are embarrassing. Give us a few solid sources, and summarise in a neutral and factual manner what they have said about him. That is all that's required. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:29, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 09:15:39, 27 May 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Jairocugliari[edit]


I have difficulties in proving the notability of this subject by Wikipedia rules. The ENBIS non-profit organization is recognized in Europe as on important centre on industrial mathematics (https://euro-math-soc.eu/industrial-mathematical-activities-europe). Also, the topic is mentioned in different Wikipedia pages as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Greenfield and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Box_Medal so I've understood that the article was for creation (disclaimer: I am a member of the organization). I didn't include all the references I have, there are several others. Is the notability a matter of number of references? Quality of the references?

Jairocugliari (talk) 09:15, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jairocugliari You seem to have a common misunderstanding of Wikipedia in that it is not a place to just tell about an organization and what it does. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia a Wikipedia article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about it, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. You don't have any sources that do that- and the last reviewer must think it's not likely to find them, which is why they rejected your draft and it won't be considered further. 331dot (talk) 09:24, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jairocugliari: both the quality and quantity of the sources matter. Quality is important, as no amount of poor sources can establish notability. But quantity also plays a role, in that we need multiple good sources; exactly what 'multiple' means, isn't really defined, but it is more than just one or two. See WP:GNG for more info. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:25, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just because they have pages on the Japanese-language Wikipedia does not mean we can have pages about them here on the English-language one. Each edition of Wikipedia is its own project with its own standards and policies. I would read up on en.wp policy before attempting to translate any of these, particularly WP:Reliable sources and WP:Notability for the lot and WP:Biographies of living persons for the mangaka. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 18:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

14:35:32, 27 May 2022 review of submission by Billbike2[edit]

Dear Fakescientist8000: Greetings! I am William S. Bike, and I am asking you to reconsider your rejection of my draft of a Linda Howe page for Wikipedia, and that you will allow it to be posted.

You called Ms. Howe not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. I would like to respectfully disagree with this point. Ms. Howe is the author of four books—two with Sounds True Publishing and one with Hay House, which are major publishers in the self-help genre. Her fifth book will be published next month by yet another publisher, Modern Wisdom Press. Her books are therefore desirable among competitive publishers. Her book How to Read the Akashic Records is ranked #65 in the Parapsychology category on Amazon.com. Ms. Howe has sold thousands of books over the years. She therefore is a significant author.

Ms. Howe is the first person to make the Akashic Records (a subject long ago accepted for a listing on Wikipedia) accessible to the masses in several countries. She therefore is a significant pathbreaker. Since Wikipedia has that entry on the Akashic Records, if the Akashic Records are a significant enough subject for Wikipedia to allow an entry on it, it seems logical that a top author of books on the subject should be included on Wikipedia as well.

She also is one of the leading teachers of the Akashic Records in the world, having taught thousands of students in several countries. This makes her internationally significant.

Ms. Howe has won four awards from the Coalition of Visionary Resources, making her acknowledged as a significant figure from an important outside organization.

Let me give you some information about my own credentials. I’ve been successfully posting on Wikipedia for about 15 years. I am a career journalist and media expert. I’ve been published in over 65 venues, including the Chicago Sun-Times and university publications at Loyola University Chicago, DePaul University, the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois Chicago, the University of Illinois Springfield, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I’ve been published in several peer-reviewed/refereed journals: the Delta Epsilon Sigma Journal, Nine: A Journal of Baseball History and Social Policy Perspectives, and the Review of Pacific Basin Financial Markets and Policies. I have appeared on CNN, and been quoted in Forbes, USA Today, Epoch Times, and other major media. I am the author of four books. I’ve earned more than 60 journalism awards, including the Peter Lisagor Award—the top honor in Chicago journalism. As a career journalist, media commentator, and contributor to referred journals, I understand the importance of accurate and viable sourcing and information, and I believe sources and information about Ms. Howe are sound.

Wikipedia already has an entry on Linda Moulton Howe, a journalist and film maker who covers aliens, cow mutilation, and crop circle conspiricies. I believe differentiating two authors who happen to have similar names is important to both of them.

So I hope you will reconsider rejection of this article about Ms. Howe and allow it to be published. I would welcome any advice about suggested changes that will help the article be accepted for Wikipedia. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope you have a great week!

Billbike2 To address Fakescientist8000 directly, you should use their user talk page(User talk:Fakescientist8000). Most of your draft appears to be sourced to self-published(by Howe) sources. If you have contributed articles for 15 years, you should be aware that a Wikipedia article summarizes what independent reliable sources say, not what people say about themselves. 331dot (talk) 14:47, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

18:30:20, 27 May 2022 review of draft by Nidhi Janu[edit]


I donot understand why this article is being declined. This is an educational work based on study from various websites. There is no plagiarism or advertising involved. It is a completely neutral work intended for MBA graduates to understand the basis and methods of lead generation marketing.

Nidhi Janu (talk) 18:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nidhu Janu What you wrote is an essay of original research, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. A Wikipedia article summarizes what independent reliable sources state, and is written in an encyclopedic style. Please see Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 20:22, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Nidhi Janu Also, WP is not a "how-to" guide. 73.127.147.187 (talk) 05:24, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
