:Aside from the fact that the draft should properly be titled [[Draft:2026 Oregon gubernatorial election]], all of the provided references concern the 2022 election, while none address the 2026 election. Obviously there will ''eventually'' be an article on this race, but unless you find some more forward-looking references, perhaps it is simply [[WP:TOOSOON|too soon]] for it at the moment. --[[User:Finngall|<b style="color: green;">Finngall</b>]] [[User Talk:Finngall|<sup style="color: #D4A017;">talk</sup>]] 21:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

00:47, 5 March 2024 review of submission by Salfanto

I need assistance improving this article Salfanto (talk) 00:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@salfanto: in what way? ltbdl (talk) 11:35, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The main feedback I got was: "Article is a mess and is unfit to be reviewed." I need help cleaning it up and better organizing it Salfanto (talk) 13:27, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
...in what way? ltbdl (talk) 15:22, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for a start, get rid of all the unreliable sources like Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
Writing an article begins with finding sources which meet all the criteria explained in golden rule; then writing a summary of what those independent sources say. Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

05:17, 5 March 2024 review of submission by Hana Shinohara

move my draft:colors telugu to articles colors telugu Hana Shinohara (talk) 05:17, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hana Shinohara: it will be moved to the main article space if/when it is accepted, but at the moment it is still far from an acceptable state.
You had also removed the AfC template which puts it into the pool of drafts pending reviews; I've restored this. Please don't mess with the templates, thanks. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:35, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

06:56, 5 March 2024 review of submission by Mahi6317

I want to know what could be the reason for the rejection of Wikipedia? Mahi6317 (talk) 06:56, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mahi6317: presumably you mean Draft:Siyamak eliasi, in which case the reason I declined (not 'rejected', which is terminal) it because the referencing is insufficient and there no evidence that the subject is notable. Just like it says in the decline notice on top of the draft (those grey boxes inside the large pink one). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:11, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What can be meant by insufficient content? Mahi6317 (talk) 07:15, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mahi6317: I didn't say "insufficient content", I said insufficient referencing: most of the content in unreferenced, and most if not all of the sources are inappropriate (social media, Spotify, Apple Music). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:19, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Does that mean there should be no social media? Mahi6317 (talk) 08:46, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, social media is generally not acceptable. We want to know what independent reliable sources say, not what the subject says about itself. 331dot (talk) 10:54, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

07:15, 5 March 2024 review of submission by PeculiarUser

Page has been flagged for Quick Deletion, under the terms that the person is not notable enough. There are plenty of sources online citing that this individual is well-awarded, and recognized by various reputable organizations such as the World Bank and the United Nations, and that the page should be kept as a draft for further contributions to properly credit and cite this information. PeculiarUser (talk) 07:15, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PeculiarUser: this help desk isn't the place to dispute speedy deletion requests. That said, the request has now been declined. The draft remains rejected, though. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PeculiarUser, any draft containing promotional baloney like author, poet, and social entrepreneur working at the intersection of creativity, displacement, and youth empowerment is almost guaranteed to be rejected. That's overtly promotional social media jargon, not neutral encyclopedia writing. Who would possibly talk that way, except to promote someone online? Cullen328 (talk) 08:36, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:46, 5 March 2024 review of submission by Marco Novecento33

I have written the article based on a reliable source (since it is the official document on the DOC appellation of the wine I am writing about) - what can I do to have the page approved and te article created? Marco Novecento33 (talk) 10:46, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An article must summarize multiple independent reliable sources. Only one source is insufficient. It appears you have gone about this backwards; you should first gather sources and then summarize them, not write the text and then look for sources to support it. 331dot (talk) 10:52, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the draft is unsourced; and the official document is a primary source, and should be used only to verify a small amount of uncontroversial factual information. The bulk of the material in any article should come from secondary sources. ColinFine (talk) 17:39, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:08, 5 March 2024 review of submission by Clonesen

I've been trying to write this wikipedia article from a notable company in the Portuguese eco system of audio software developers but keep having the article being reject because it "looks like an advertisement". I've found the initial draft which was very vague and tried to add all the sources I could find to establish notability, including more than 4 different sources, independent of the subject, as required per the guidelines. I would like to know what else is wrong about the article so I can do the necessary adjustments. Can you please provide me some assistance? Clonesen (talk) 11:08, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have too many sources, most of them are announcements of routine business activities, which does not establish notability(as Wikipedia defines a notable company). You need independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this company- coverage that goes beyond merely telling of their activities and goes into detail about what the source sees as important/significant/influential about this company, not what it sees as important about itself. Please see Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 11:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. References [1] [2] [3] [17] [18] [19] [21] are general wide, reliable sources, completely subject independent which mark the company notability, specially in the context of Portuguese and the fact that there is only one other company doing what this company is doing.
Which references do you think are irrelevant, can you please be specific about it?
Which paragraphs "look like an advertisement" and are not written from a neutral point of view?
Which paragraphs are irrelevant from the point of view of wikipedia guidelines?
Thank you once again for your collaboration and help. This is my first collaboration to wikipedia and I'm still learning. Clonesen (talk) 11:53, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your sources are
  1. an interview with the founder of the company, not an independent source
  2. a brief piece based on an interview with the CEO, not significant coverage
  3. mostly tells of the products the company is developing
  4. a recording of an interview with the founder
  5. seems to just document UNESCO's involvement, doesn't even mention the company
  6. seems to just document the existence of the company
  7. seems to have no mention of this company
  8. a product review, not about the company itself
  9. another product review
  10. a place to obtain a product
  11. video from the company
  12. product review
  13. product review
  14. no mention of the company from what I can see
  15. same source as previous
  16. same as #8(see WP:REFB for information on using a reference more than once)
  17. walled but seems to be a product review
I could keep going but it really looks like none of the sources you have are appropriate for establishing notability. This will need to be radically rewritten to summarize independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this company, as I mentioned above. I see the term "startup" used a lot to refer to this company- "startups" rarely merit articles- a company must be established and recognized in its field to draw the coverage needed to merit it an article. It may be too soon for an article. 331dot (talk) 12:31, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Before I wrote the first draft, which did seem like an advertisement, I investigated a lot about other similar companies' Wikipedia entries such as: Native Instruments, Arturia, Teenage Engineering, among others.
Most of these article references seem to be of the same types: interviews with the founders in websites independent of the subject and product reviews in non-subject-independent websites. What is the difference in these pages that make them compliant?
How can someone refer to bits of history if it weren't for stories told by key figures in interviews? I think that's the main purpose of interview references.
Some brief comments about your comments on the references:
1 - A interview with the founder by a portuguese newspaper. The source is subject independent.
2 - A whole article about what the company was doing. The source is subject independent.
3 - A relevant financial news source in Portugal. The source is subject independent
4 - I would agree this one could be removed, but still relevant to get pieces of the history and therefore not completely irrelevant.
5 - The idea is to show that Imaginando is a company located in a creative city of UNESCO, something that was mentioned in this paragraph. If it is not relevant, it can be removed.
6 - This states that the company makes part of this internal network of media arts hub, in the city of Braga
7 - I would agree that this could be removed.
8/9 - The early history before the company foundation is being told. Not relevant? It can be removed.
10 - Not a product download page. It's just to give relevance to the fact that he was a contributor to this project, as mentioned. Not relevant? It can be removed.
11 - The video is actually from The Qt Company and shows the founder of Imaginando giving a presentation in a conference of The Qt Company, telling the story of how and why he used Qt to build the technical foundation. This is ultra relevant to the previous paragraph.
12/13 - A reference from the subject dependent media outlet showing that the product got out (this is something that seems to be very common in many wikipedia company pages and one of the reasons I learn so much while reading wikipedia articles).
14/15 - Agree it can be irrelevant
16 - It is not a product, it's a media art piece.
17 - Walled for not registered users but it is a printed news paper and it is a story about the company with focus on their Harpa Laser media art piece.
Regarding 16 and 17, Jean-Michel Jarre made a Laser Harp, in his wikipedia page it says:
"The stadium was almost full when the concert began, but as Beijing's buses stopped running at about 10 o'clock, about half the audience left before it finished." with a reference to -> https://www.nytimes.com/1981/10/22/arts/china-is-exposed-to-laser-rock.html?scp=13&sq=jean%20michel%20jarre&st=cse
How is it different?
The company is 10 years old and has released multiple products used in professional environments and widely covered by media. The term startup is these days used very commonly for companies that have since become very successful and relevant, and therefore deserving of an article.
"Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, nor is it a collection of unverifiable content. It is an encyclopedia that must be reliable. If sources do not exist, it is generally too soon for an article on that topic to be considered."
I believe that numerous sources do exist, especially when comparing with existing Wikipedia entries of comparable companies. With that in mind, I don't fully see how it is to soon for an article.
I will start performing the changes based on your feedback. If you have any further comment, please advise.
Thank you very much. Regards Clonesen (talk) 15:15, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources. It doesn't matter whether it is published by the subject or quoted in a newspaper: if the words come from the company, Wikipedia isn't interested in them.
As for other articles: Wikipedia has thousands and thousands and thousands of seriously substandard articles, most of which were added long ago before we were as careful about standards. Ideally they would all be improved or deleted; but this being a volunteer project, that doens't happen very often. New drafts submitted are assessed against our policies and standards, not against other articles. If you find similarly poor articles, you are very welcome to improve them, or nominate them for deletion if their subject is not in fact notable as Wikipedia uses the phrase. See other stuff exists.

12:40, 5 March 2024 review of submission by 83.97.35.24

Hi, has this article reached notability now? I have included several interviews with the subject. 83.97.35.24 (talk) 12:40, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews do not contribute to notability, as by definition an interview is not an independent source. As this draft has been rejected, it won't be considered further at this time. 331dot (talk) 12:43, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You only have two sources. Perhaps you forgot to click Publish which would have saved the new text to the draft. I have rejected the draft and it usually will not be considered further, but if you do find 19 sources and add them, let me know. Qcne (talk) 16:43, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

05:11, 6 March 2024 review of submission by TAPPANHEHER

Hello I have submitted an update /second draft to an article in the Article of Creation for John Elliott Tappan by adding the page numbers for the references. How can I replace the first draft with the updated second draft? In the Contributions section there is no clear to access articles in the Articles of Creation, which has been very confusing. TAPPANHEHER (talk) 05:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@tappanheher: the "first draft" is at Draft:John Elliott Tappan. ltbdl (talk) 05:35, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We don't usually work that way: it would have been better to edit the text in place.
The easiest way is probably to simply delete all the text from Draft:John Elliott Tappan, and copy the source from the second draft into it. (You'll need to copy the source, or you won't get the formatting, citations etc). For tidiness, you can then inset {{db-author}} (just as it appears here, with the double curly brackets) at the top of Draft:John Elliott Tappan (second draft), and an admin will come along and delete it. Normally you shouldn't move text from one page to another without attributing it - see copying within Wikipedia) but if you are the only author of it, you can. ColinFine (talk) 17:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The following comments have been moved here from the next section by ColinFine (talk) 17:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have now added all pages for the references and citations. The references a book published by Palgrave/St Martin's Press in New York. The book lists all the institutions that are referenced in the book, most importantly the personal letters of John Elliott Tappan that are still in the archives at Ameriprise. I am very curious how Wikipeida could state this does not "show significant coverage about the subject in a published, reliable source that is independent of the subject." Please provide with a full and detailed explanation, and I will be happy to provide anyone who asks with a PDF copy of the book, which can be bought online directly from Palgrave Press. I look forward to receiving the reply shortly. TAPPANHEHER (talk) 06:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, you don't need to provide a PDF. Citing a reliably published book is adequate.
I am not a reviewer, but I know that normally more than two separate sources are required to establish notability. This is not a policy, but a rule of thumb, and the reviewer may feel that the two sources you have cited are adequate. But if you can find another source that meeds 42, I think it would be worth citing it. I think that citing a source that discussed why Tappan and the investors' syndicate are imporant would be a good idea. ColinFine (talk) 17:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

10:21, 6 March 2024 review of submission by Joeworgan

My submission was declined for Draft:Grant UK because it 'appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia'. Can you advise which sections refer more like an advertisement? Joeworgan (talk) 10:21, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The entire thing. Wikipedia is not a place to tell about a company and its offerings, an article about a company should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Please see Your First Article. I will add specifically that niche industry awards do not contribute to notability, unless the award itself merits an article(like Nobel Peace Prize or Academy Award)
If you work for this company, the Terms of Use require that to be disclosed, see WP:PAID. Please also see conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 10:33, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Joeworgan: it's promotional, because it's basically the company telling the world about itself, citing its own website, various press releases and routine business reporting / churnalism, with little or no content that is of any encyclopaedic value. The entire 'Products' and 'Support for X' sections belong to their website, and we've no interest in the business awards they've received.

I've added two articles from six articles found on Google, I thought they were valid, and I also wanted to ask about the length of the article. cause currently it's a short article. I'm not an expert on articles so what changes do you recommend? Tod888 (talk) 14:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tod888: per WP:NCORP, we need to see significant coverage in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. 'Multiple' isn't actually defined anywhere, but is usually taken to mean three or more. Your two sources both seem to be based on the company's publicity efforts, so probably aren't independent, and in any case not enough to satisfy NCORP. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:35, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

good day , my name is chinedu ogugua , i submitted an article on the history of my town which was declined yesterday , i made edit on some of the errors raised by the reviewer but some i was not able to do because i did not understand it clearly . please can i get an assistance to edit my article to Wikipedia standard 

 Chinedu Ogugua (talk) 14:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chinedu Ogugua: your draft is entirely unreferenced. We need to be able to verify all the information from reliable sources. In fact, you should only summarise what reliable published sources have previously said about the subject, citing those sources as you go against the information they have provided. See WP:YFA for advice on article creation, and WP:REFB on referencing. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

16:45, 6 March 2024 review of submission by Matthewcooper1998

Just have a question about the rejection of this article. I understand that Theresa Cheung is not mentioned in this article. However, there is a setion which mentions The Premonition Code, that Theresa Co-authored with Dr. Juilia Mossbridge (also mentioned in the article). If, on the article, I specify that Theresa's Co-authored book, The Premonition Code, was mentioned in the linked Guardian article, would that be appropriate? Thanks! Matthewcooper1998 (talk) 16:45, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. Please see notability is not inherited. It's possible for a book to meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability but not its author; or vice versa. An article about Cheung must be based mostly on sources which are about Cheung, not sources about her work which do no more than mention her. ColinFine (talk) 17:26, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Need help creating a page for my organisation. I work for a news organisation that does not have a Wikipedia page yet. I need help creating this page.

Wikipedia does not let me create this page because I am an employee of/related to the organisation.

What should my next steps be? Arkadev.ghoshal (talk) 18:32, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Arkadev.ghoshal: it is true that you cannot publish such an article directly, but you can submit a draft through the AfC process – go to WP:YFA where you find everything you need to get started.
The first thing you must do, however, is to disclose your paid-editing status. I will post instructions on your talk page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, okay, seems I had already posted a generic COI notice earlier. Well, now there's the more specific paid-editing one there as well. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot!

Hello, Arkadev.ghoshai. Generally, when an inexperienced editor tries to create a new article, they have a miserable and frustrating experience, because they don't yet understand a number of basic concepts about Wikipedia. If they are trying to create an article about a subject they are close to, it is even more tricky, and they are even more likely to have a frustrating time. (I know you have had your account for a long time, but you haven't made many edits, so I count you as inexperienced in Wikipedia).
My advice to you is, first, read WP:BOSS, and show it to your boss.
If you are determined to proceed, then my next advice is to put it aside and do an "apprenticeship", where over a period of weeks or months, you make several hundred edits (that stick) to existing articles, and learn about basic principles such as notability, reliable sources, and neutral point of view. Then you can come back to it and read your first article. ColinFine (talk) 23:25, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18:57, 6 March 2024 review of submission by Fracy Pants

The article I created for Bertrand Meniel was rejected because it lacked reliable sources. But I linked to sources everywhere I could. Perhaps I did not use the righ formats? One editor in talk suggested I create a reference list, but I am unable to discover what that means or how to do this some other way than create the footnotes and links I submitted. I need help and instruction on how to appropriately show the soureces I linked. Fracy Pants (talk) 18:57, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

please advice me why you reject Raisingmamaygma (talk) 23:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Because, Raisingmamaygma, that draft in no way resembles an article. Here, at random, John Nottingham, that looks like an article. What you submitted looks like a very poorly formatted resume full of completely irrelevant information, besides some attempts at self-promotion: "Reymark has done more than 160 freelancing projects in the last 4 years and he have good knowledge in Google Adsense." In fact, it is so blatantly promotional (besides a violation of all kinds of policies including WP:BLP) that we have no choice but deleting it. Please try LinkedIn for this kind of thing.

You don't need to worry about the title for the time being. If (and that remains quite a big 'if') this is accepted, the accepting reviewer will move it to an appropriate title when it is published.

Maestroi110 Your draft is in your sandbox, so I fixed the link to it.

3.) 'Secondary'! Wow bro...secondary source he asks for! Bro, say one thing...how should I write some reference of the new topic if the topic is new(i.e. new topic means I am the first one to talk about and so there is no 'another editor' to refer from)!

If you are the first to write about a topic, then it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and no article about it can be accepted into Wikipedia. Period.
Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

As for your draft  Courtesy link: Draft:Koti Basadi, Moodbidre, it is completely unreferenced. This means it fails the core requirements of verifiability and notability, and was therefore correctly declined.

Before you do, there are a couple of things you need to put right:
  1. You need to support the draft contents with inline citations, see WP:REFB / WP:ILC.
  2. Please remove all inline external links from the body text; convert to citations where relevant.
There is also quite a lot of layout, formatting, etc. work to be done, but those can be dealt with once we've established that the subject is notable and all the information has been verified.

@REF17 holding a position at a local branch of national organization is not enough nor is being a candidate for a local political position (see WP:NPOL).

It is still not clear to me/us in what way this article seems to be written in the 'style of an advertisement'. There is nothing to sell here. We, the 2 authors, have no personal interest, but want to inform readers about an important amendment of the Council of Europe's CEFR. So may I once again ask for more specific criticism so we can alter those items, parts, passages which seem to be out of line with Wikipedia policies. Thanks!

Rejection means that it may not be resubmitted at this time. All the sources provided are about his company(not him personally) or are associated with him; there are no independent reliable sources with significant coverage of him, showing how he meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. 331dot (talk) 17:41, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh! I see, would you recommend I create an article about the company on that note? Xeno21x8 (talk) 17:44, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the company receives significant coverage in independent reliable sources, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization, an article may be possible. Sources cannot include brief mentions, staff interviews, press releases, announcements of routine business activities, or primary sources; sources should provide in depth coverage of what they see as important/significant/influential about the company- not what it might see as important about itself.

Writing a new article is the most difficult task to perform on Wikipedia, and it's a good idea to learn some about Wikipedia first, by editing existing articles in areas that interest you, and using the new user tutorial. Diving right in to creating articles often leads to disappointment and frustration. Wikipedia is not a place to just document the existence of something and tell what it does- articles must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose to say about the topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. 331dot (talk) 17:56, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

17:42, 9 March 2024 review of submission by Slasher2point1

Hi,

My page that I am looking to create for the wife of Tommy Nelson was rejected because Imdb is not considered a reliable source for verifying her film and TV roles. Would the Letterboxd work instead as a reliable source?

Thank you! Slasher2point1 (talk) 17:42, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In a word, No. A reliable source is one that has a reputation for editorial control fact-checking. Letterboxd seems to be like GoodReads (and iMDB, and almost all wikis, including Wikipedia) in that its content is user generated. It is therefore not usable as a reliable source. Your absolute first task in creating an article (ideally before you write so much as a single word of it, so as to save you wasted work) is to find several (generally at least 3) sources, each of which meet all the criteria in WP:42.

Hi ColinFine (talk), apologies, one more question. What would you suggest for a website then to verify roles as the main ones are IMDb and Letterboxd for actors? With her appearance on the Show High Maitenance, would it work better to site HBO itself (https://www.hbo.com/high-maintenance/season-2/8-ghost) or something from a website like Vulture (https://www.vulture.com/article/high-maintenance-episodes-ranked-worst-best.html). Any help would be greatly appreciated as the previous page I made was for a feature film actor and this is my first time making one with more shorts/television roles — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slasher2point1 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected last week. This means the the rejecting reviewer (@331dot) had come to the conclusion that sources sufficient to establish notability simply don't exist.
The sources you have recently added, even if they were properly formatted citations, rather than external links, would do nothing whatever to alter that, since not one of them is indpependent of Quinn.
Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

I don't know what that means as isn't that the point of a Wikipedia page? Vastelland is a country with similar autonomy to Molossia, a micro-nation in Nevada. The main difference between Molossia and Vastelland is popularity. Many people know of Molossia, not many know of Vastelland other than close people (this is due to security issues). Please don't take down my page again, I really want it on here. Thank you - Vastelian Chairman. Vastelian-Chairman (talk) 13:30, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed your post to provide a link to your draft as intended(you has a statement there instead). The draft was not declined "for no reason". You have no independent reliable sources to support the content of your draft. A draft about your micronation must summarize what independent sources choose on their own to say about it. If there are no such sources, it would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. It doesn't matter if that's because you choose not to otherwise publicize your micronation for security reasons. In any event, Wikipedia is the last place to write about something, not the first, Others need to write about your micronation before there can be an article here to summarize what they say. 331dot (talk) 13:47, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18:25, 11 March 2024 review of submission by DheimOhss

Need help with declined submission for Radio Wolf draft I am trying to understand why my draft submission was declined and how I can improve it. The article is here - Draft:Radio Wolf

The first claim is that their soundtrack release, PROXIMITY, is covered under the wiki page for the artist that they worked with on the project. I feel like since they shared responsibilities in the production of the soundtrack that it should be included in this new wiki page. In fact, Radio Wolf (the topic of my draft) is the person that was contacted to make the album.

The second claim was a bit odd as I referenced 12 other artists that Radio Wolf has worked with in major capacity, such as being producer, on various albums, as well as listed many of his own personal works, so the claim that he isn't separate enough from Parallels is strange. DheimOhss (talk) 18:25, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DheimOhss I fixed the header to provide a link to your draft as intended. He doesn't seem to meet the definition of a notable musician as an individual. 331dot (talk) 18:36, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would the solution then be to provide better citations for his work? DheimOhss (talk) 18:40, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You need citations that show he meets the notability definition as an individual. Paul McCartney merits a standalone article due to his notable solo career, not because he was part of The Beatles. Which aspect or aspects of the notable musician definition do you claim he meets? 331dot (talk) 18:46, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your help on this, btw. :)
I think the claims I would make are:
- That he is referenced on the IMDB for the soundtrack https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8718300/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm as an original song writer, and the album itself won Best Song by the LA Film Awards (which I cited in my original draft). I believe that would be #9 and #10 on the "notable musician" page as it won first place and "performance in a television show or notable film", which the movie is.
- He also satisfies #10 by having his remix of Miss Deringer's "Black Tears" featured in the American TV series, 'How I met Your Mother' DheimOhss (talk) 18:58, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see (but I may have missed it) an article about something called the "LA Film Awards", so that wouldn't contribute to notability.
10 also says "But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article."
Even his songwriting (which would fall under WP:COMPOSER) seems to be as part of a team/collaborative effort. I'm not seeing how he is notable as an individual. 331dot (talk) 19:36, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Los Angeles Film Awards are in my citations as #3, here - https://www.lafilmawards.net/single-post/january-2021 That counts as #9 I believe. While #10 does say "if this is the only claim", I think it isn't his only claim as the LA Film Awards satisfies #9 and then #10, either by itself or partially, by the movie soundtrack and the song in a TV series. DheimOhss (talk) 20:17, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
DheimOhss, the LA Film Awards is a non-notable and overtly promotional "pay to play" award business with pretty much no credibility in Hollywood.

I'm just wondering whether or not the use of the subject's own website as a reference for the information on the subject's Wikipedia Page is acceptable. Similarly, would using photos and images as references be acceptable? Thank you Hkc345 (talk) 07:51, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hkc345: you're really not asking the right questions. You should be asking how to demonstrate that the person is notable by Wikipedia standards, and how to reference the information so that it is verifiable from reliable sources. Not to mention, how to write in a neutral, non-promotional manner, and without copypasting content from external sources.
But yes, you can cite the subject's own website as a source, for very limited and entirely non-contentious information such as date and place of birth.
As for images, they have no bearing on anything at this stage, and are in that sense largely useless. BTW, you've marked the images as your 'own work', which implies a connection with this subject. Please disclose that, in the same manner as you have disclosed another paid-editing relationship on your user page. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:00, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hkc345, an acceptable Wikipedia article about a person almost entirely summarizes the significant coverage that published reliable sources independent of the person devote to the person. Your draft lacks any such references to independent sources and is not acceptable for that reason. Cullen328 (talk) 08:27, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the replies.
When I mentioned images, I was referring to images and scans of newspapers and published sources. The sources for the information on the subject is not very readily available online.
And for information about his life and careers, does the same procedure applies?
Thank you Hkc345 (talk) 09:33, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it helps, sources do not need to be online: they only need to be published. A reader may have to visit a Library or Archive to access the sources, but this is okay. You shouldn't scan in and upload any sources as this might breach copyright, just ensure the reference is formatted correctly to allow a reader to find the offline source if they so wish.

I want to resubmit the article. I edited it and the article has no advertising tone to it, it's just stating facts! Mohamedmarzz (talk) 10:31, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further.
To quote @DoubleGrazing further up this page: "If there are sources which weren't considered earlier and which you believe would establish notability, you may however appeal directly to the reviewer who rejected the draft". But if you are going to do this, you had better be very sure that the new sources you are citing meet the criteria in WP:42, otherwise you are likely to annoy the reviewer by wasting their time.

10:34, 12 March 2024 review of submission by Renas Osman

So far I have double checked the sources twice, they were reliable, even some of them from Apple, Yahoo News, and other international organization, but it got rejected

Thanks for responses Renas Osman (talk) 10:34, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reliability is only one of the criteria applied to sources to establish notability. Another is indepedence. Basically, Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.
I haven't looked closely at them, but it is clear from the titles that most of your sources are not independent of Najm: they are either based on interviews, or on information he has provided.
To establish notability, you should look at every one of your sources critically, to check that it meets all the criteria in golden rule. ColinFine (talk) 11:02, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What help are you seeking? Have you seen the messages left by reviewers? 331dot (talk) 12:18, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
IMDb, Google search, YouTube, Wikipedia and Commons are not independent reliable sources I’m afraid. Theroadislong (talk) 12:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

12:08, 12 March 2024 review of submission by Elina Lovtsova

Good afternoon, please tell me what’s wrong with the sources, which ones should be added? Elina Lovtsova (talk) 12:08, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Elina Lovtsova: without putting too fine a point on it, the sources are rubbish. All churnalism (or worse) and primary sources, not one of them contributes towards notability per WP:NCORP.
As for what sources should you add, I don't know. I don't know where you got all this information from (although I could hazard a wild guess...), but that's what you should cite as your sources.
BTW, what is your relationship with this subject? I will post a message on your talk page regarding paid editing; please read and respond to it. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:16, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The sources do not show that the company meets the special Wikipedia defition of a notable company and do not provide significant coverage of the company. The draft does little more than tell of the existence of the company and its routine activities; Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about the company and what makes it important/significant/influential as a company- not what the company may see as important about itself.
If you work for this company, the Terms of Use require that to be disclosed, please see WP:PAID as well as WP:COI. 331dot (talk) 12:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But if you add a link to the official website, won’t that be enough? Elina Lovtsova (talk) 12:28, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Elina Lovtsova: enough for what, to establish notability? No. Primary sources, especially ones close to the subject, don't even contribute towards notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:31, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:39, 12 March 2024 review of submission by Yevrowl

Greetings! Please, if possible, help with advice. Are there any other sentences that may not correspond to the encyclopedic style? And if so, which ones exactly? Thanks a lot. Yevrowl (talk) 14:39, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yevrowl, I can see you've put effort into improving the overall quality of the submission, which is commendable. However, there are still some areas that need attention. When reading through, some sentences give the impression of promoting him. Take for instance, "Since 2017, he has focused on the digitalization of Kyiv and the implementation of blockchain technologies at the state level (Kyiv Smart City [uk], state registers, state procurement, and the like)." Also, I noticed that you've included every detail about him. Please consider removing any unnecessary sentences that lack support from sources or are simply not necessary. Additionally, it would be beneficial to trim down unnecessary references to avoid citation clutter. I hope this helps. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:41, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to meet criteria for creation, though I'd love some feedback from others. Corporationstation (talk) 18:16, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Corporationstation: evidently not, since it has been rejected as non-notable. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:34, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Error message when submitting

Hello,

I am trying to submit my article for review, but whenever I do I get this error message: "An error occurred (TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'json.query.pages')). Please try again or refer to the help desk." Why might this be, and what should I do? Thanks, Slamforeman (talk) 20:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I keep getting declined. I DO NOT KNOW WHY. PLEASE HELP LivingWellat50 (talk) 20:54, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the fact that the draft should properly be titled Draft:2026 Oregon gubernatorial election, all of the provided references concern the 2022 election, while none address the 2026 election. Obviously there will eventually be an article on this race, but unless you find some more forward-looking references, perhaps it is simply too soon for it at the moment. --Finngall talk 21:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

21:11, 12 March 2024 review of submission by DerekMuttley

Hello, Perhaps someone would point me in the right direction for this.. I have been assiduously attempting to provide citations for the page I created "Wilsons Tales of the Borders" , but my data entry skills, and multiple word processor skills seem to have been defeated by the citation editor.

Could you tell me where to look, or how to overcome the logical impasse presented by an item which is intending to provide contextual material about a publication which does not exist on the internet? - Even the Newspaper archive only has a reference to a parent journal. When I attempt to provide a citation to the main printed book dealing with the topic, the citation edit input panel accepts data, and apparently closes normally, yet has neither accepted the entry or returned a validation error.

IS there, perhaps, some non-intuitive validation going on, or something as simple as 'there must be an entry in every box' which is not being indicated as an error?

- Using Safari 17.2.

Apologies if these kind of queries should go elsewhere. I shall take no offence if you tell me to just go away..
