14:30:17, 18 April 2023 review of draft by Veramerks[edit]


Hi there,

I am requesting help because I want to write an article on The One Minutes, a foundation for video art. I submitted a draft but it was denied because there is a similar page called Oneminutes. The One Minutes as a foundation distributes one-minute videos, which are called Oneminutes. The article Oneminutes is quite old and is about the videos used; not about the foundation itself. How can I make sure I can post a new page about the foundation, without it getting denied because it;s similar to the Oneminutes page?

Veramerks (talk) 14:30, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Veramerks: I haven't looked into this in enough depth to be able to comment on whether 'The One Minutes' and the 'Oneminutes' (or 'One Minutes', as it seems to be alternatively rendered) are conceptually distinct enough to warrant or even require separate articles, or similar and related enough to be covered together in one; an argument could probably be made either way. But I will say this: both the existing Oneminutes article and this new draft need to do a better job in making it clear to the reader what the taxonomy of all these oneminutes is, because from the little I've looked into these I'm none the wiser.
Also probably worth saying that the Oneminutes article is unreferenced (how it has survived for 16+ years, I've no idea!) and generally a bit of a mess and in need of updating and improving. If you're volunteering to do all that, then have at it! (Just one thing: do you have some sort of external relationship with any of this? If so, I'll post a message on your talk page with instructions on how to manage that.) Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, i am wondering how i can make my Wikipedia article more information. Thanks TitanicSankUnderWater (talk) 17:15, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TitanicSankUnderWater: Hello Titanic! You can find more sources for your article by using your regular search engine, or using the custom search engine specifically for locating reliable sources located at WP:RSSE. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:29, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

18:03:03, 18 April 2023 review of submission by MelanieHinkle[edit]


I have received notice that This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. I used the Wikipedia Help Live Chat to get feedback on my article, and tips for citations and sources. With that guidance, I have re-edited and simplified the language, and updated all sources. I took out a lot of unusable sources and would appreciate the opportunity to have this up for reconsideration. Thank you for your time!

MelanieHinkle (talk) 18:03, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MelanieHinkle: this draft has been rejected (after no fewer than nine earlier declines, I might add) and won't therefore be considered further. In any case, I've had a quick look at the sources, and they still don't come even close to meeting WP:GNG notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:00, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

18:55:40, 18 April 2023 review of draft by Lisapaulinet[edit]


I don't know how to fix it from redirecting to the Marablehead, Massahusetts page. It said Warning make sure this is not a copy of the Marblehead, Massachusetts page.

Also, I am unsure of how to fix my references. I took out any reference to the Abbot Public Library's website because my article was declined because the references were not independant of the subject. I hope these references are better. Thanks. Lisapaulinet (talk) 18:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lisapaulinet: don't worry about the redirect, that will be deleted if/when your draft is accepted. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 04:54, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks Lisapaulinet (talk) 11:52, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19:06:33, 18 April 2023 review of submission by Xlea Nollmav[edit]

I have been working on getting this page approved and having a lot of trouble. The last editor to decline the draft said it may not even be worthy of a Wikipedia page. I have included many secondary, independent, reliable sources (newspapers, magazines, journals, etc.) and have seen other existing pages that have far less than that (one, White's Boots, that even links to the company's own website). I assume that because I disclosed that this is a COI, the page is being placed under more scrutiny. I understand the need for such scrutiny; however, I have to say, the backend of Wikipedia is not easy to navigate/understand, and I am truly trying my best to create an encyclopedic, informative article that abides by all of Wikipedia's rules. I am totally happy to have another Wikipedia editor edit the article and resubmit it for me; however, I am having trouble understanding how to go about requesting that. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated! Xlea Nollmav (talk) 19:06, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Xlea Nollmav as for other articles see WP:OSE. Wikipedia's guidelines have changed overtime, generally becoming more strict, so an article acceptable years ago may not be acceptable today. I have started a discussion on the draft's talk page about notability and pinged you there. S0091 (talk) 20:59, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your note — and help! Xlea Nollmav (talk) 16:52, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

21:39:54, 18 April 2023 review of submission by Stickyorangecookie11[edit]

I found a source on the site Newspapers.com and an article from the Star Phoenix in Saskatoon Saskatchewan as a reference. Stickyorangecookie11 (talk) 21:39, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Stickyorangecookie11 that's a good start but how do the sources meet WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC? Try also Google Books. Once you have three sources with in-depth coverage about them, add those (see this guide) and expand the draft based what those sources have written then you can come back here and ask to resubmit the draft for another review.
