02:32:15, 30 March 2017 review of submission by Illinoiswiki10[edit]


I am resubmitting this page for Charlie Kirk. I added some sources, and am not sure what the issues are with it as it is.

Hello, Illinois. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Before posting this, I took a look at your submission and found that I agreed with the previous reviewer. You really haven't demonstrated that the subject has notability (in the sense that Wikipedia uses that word) that is independent of the organizations he has worked with. Giving a speech at a convention is probably not enough to sustain a stand-alone article on Wikipedia, and most of the other "claims to fame" derive from the subject's relationship with the organization he founded, Turning Point USA. I don't see stand-alone notability here, but perhaps some other reviewer will have a different opinion. By the way, I applaud your use of citation templates for the footnotes, but a few of them are badly formatted and could use some fixing. I hope this response has been helpful.

Hi Batozsu89. Thank you for your contribution. The draft is in the pool of submissions to be reviewed. Lately, reviews have been taking about a month. While you wait, check out other ways to improve Wikipedia at the community portal. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:53, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 08:57:36, 30 March 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Scn1989[edit]


Dear community, the draft of the Wiki page I'm working on has been rejected for the second time due to poor referencing. I've already cut the biggest part of the text in the History section and put all references I have, so I just don't know how to improve the page so that it could be published. The issue is that there are physically no more available external sources I can use. Does it mean our page can't be published with the sources we have? Maybe I should clean up some other pieces of content that aren't supported with references? Do you accept references from official databases (for example, D&B D‑U‑N‑S Number) to prove that our company exists?

Thank you so much, Alexandra Lupanava on behalf of Scn1989 (ScienceSoft, software development company)

Hello, Alexandra. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The two reviewers who declined your submission were not questioning the existence of your company. They were stating that you failed to demonstrate that your company is "notable" in the sense that Wikipedia uses that word (and for companies, Wikipedia's definition is discussed in WP:NCORP). In order to merit an article, you will need to show that your company has been the subject of in-depth coverage from reliable sources that are independent of your company. And "in-depth" means coverage that goes well beyond appearances in business directories or routine announcements of the company's activities. The failure to provide such sources is why the submission has been twice declined. And if such sources truly do not exist, it is unlikely that your draft will be accepted for publication. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 10:31, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

19:15:53, 30 March 2017 review of submission by S2dd[edit]


Hello -

I'm not requesting a re-review just yet (so apologies if this is the wrong place for this post) but rather guidance.

I wrote an article on Peter Dyke (UK-based organist), which was rejected for its references. In writing the piece I drew on these two other articles about UK-based organists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Briggs_(English_musician) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Baldock

These appear to have an amount of referencing similar to - or lower than - the piece I wrote; so I'm wondering whether these other articles were not good examples to use - i.e. would they be rejected for the same reason as mine was?

I'd also be grateful for direction as to the citations I have included: the review mentions a 'church newsletter' - but I've cited Hereford Cathedral's website, the Church Times, and the BBC - so I'm not sure what I need to do to fix this.

I apologise if these are rookie questions, but your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello, S2dd. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. I did some copy editing to the draft and, later today, I'll leave some comments there (and will notify you when I do so). NewYorkActuary (talk) 11:24, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
