Your submission at Articles for creation: Research & Development Establishment (Pakistan) (March 28)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DreamRimmer were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Research & Development Establishment (Pakistan) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Tanks in service with the Pakistan Army[edit]

First, I would like to thank you for updating the List of equipment of the Pakistan Army. It was long overdue. Second, I would suggest you not to rely solely on one source. Just a few things; there are credible sources on the web about the T-55 tank in service with the Pakistan Army, so you should consider adding it back. Second, it seems like you removed Pakistan from the "Operators" sections of the Type 69 tank, so you might want to add that back. Third, Pakistan had received 320 T-80UD tanks and it hasn't lost any of them or hasn't retired, at least there is no news regarding it on the web. So you might want to change it back to 320. Besides if you look at similar cases of other armies that haven't lost or retired any tanks, they still report the total number ordered. These changes would be appreciated and again thanks for updating the page. An Asphalt (talk) 02:30, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same goes for the A-100 GMLRS. Pakistan operates way more than 36, so you should try finding alternative sources or reverting back to the older source An Asphalt (talk) 02:35, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok working on it. I agree with your suggestions however I have doubts about the T-55 part. fyi I do get annoyed with the quantity columns on these lists. Sometimes it think that they should be removed. Wikibear47 (talk) 02:40, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah some of these numbers were just nonsense, it was a long overdue update. I knew this for a while but I was too lazy to make such large updates. So, good one.

Also, there are a few citations present on the T-55 operators article but I don't know how reliable they are An Asphalt (talk) 02:47, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So I checked out the T-55 operators page. I am pretty sure that its now in reserve and removed from active duty considering how old it is. The T-55s from Serbia are said to be in service with Frontier Corps. Even that news isn't confirmed. Should they be added into this list? Wikibear47 (talk) 03:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are a lot of websites reporting the delivery of Serbian tanks but again we don't know how reliable they are. Maybe we should try to find pictorial evidence.... An Asphalt (talk) 03:15, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Role of women in Pakistani media[edit]

Hello Wikibear47. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Role of women in Pakistani media to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. BangJan1999 17:47, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

Hello, Wikibear47,

Please do not empty categories "out of process" or blank a category page. This can be seen as disruptive editing and be reverted, especially when you seem to be targeting categories made by one particular editor, User:Mar4d who is a very experienced editor. What you are doing could be seen as vandalism as you are providing little to no explanation for why you are removing categories from pages, both articles and other categories.

Please stop until you are willing to provide an informative edit summary that goes into more detail than "improving". Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:23, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok understood. Will provide more description next time in the summary. Wikibear47 (talk) 16:46, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
