Draft:Eleanna Finokalioti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: A lot of unverified statements of facts. I have done some maintenance tagging with {{citation needed}} and {{unreferenced section}}. I would suggest starting there and addressing those. Some other statements that do have citations don't seem to credibly verify the on-wiki prose it claims to support. Reads as an apparent WP:NOTEBOMB attempt to clear the notability threshold, which I do not think this subject meets presently. Even if this subject were notable, if the article in its present state were published to the mainspace, I credibly believe more than have of the actual prose could be slashed by someone citing WP:PROVEIT in regards to the statements as they are currently written/cited.

  • Comment: There seems to be an issue with some of the citations archived links. They just are just the homepage of the publisher? Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The author should disclose any conflict of interest they may have with regard to the subject. DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:41, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: I am taking the unusual step of a second review. This has been to AfD and back since my prior review, please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eleanna Finokalioti (Eleanna Fin). It was moved too soon, and by a misunderstanding.
    WP:YOUTUBE shows the very restricted circumstance in which it may be used as a reference. Please double check your use of Youtube.
    Cast lists just show she was in the cast. That is all they cann be used for. They do not verify notability.
    For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
    Please resubmit for review' and do not just move it yourself to mainspace. Please ask at WP:AFCHD for any additional information you need to help you succeed. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:21, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
