David Wicht Draft Page

Good Day All

I have continued working on David Wicht's page today adding sources and editing the main page. He has been mentioned in books and academic journals and so I have added these. I still seem to be struggling with the fact that I have declared that at the end of this process I will be paid something. I do not work for David Wicht of for Film Afrika. To all intents and purposes I am a freelance writer writing his Wikipedia page. I work in the film industry as a performance and dialogue coach. I just wanted this noted on my talk page.

Historic comments by Artices for Creation reviewers during the review phase

Comment: After substantial edits by others I believe that this may be accepted. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:02, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is substantial reviewer comment here. Please may I ask the reviewer who accepts this or a subsequent version to tick the box to copy the comments to the article's talk page 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 12:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: All inline links should be removed, please, and turned into references if appropriate, Wikilinks, or external links in a section so named. See Wikipedia:External links 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 12:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You say "He is known for, amongst others: One Piece, Mandela & De Klerk, Duma, Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove and Mia and the White Lion" he is not mentioned in any of those articles and your source doesn't support that either? Theroadislong (talk) 12:41, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The "Company affiliations" section is poorly sourced some of the sources do not mention him and should probably be deleted, it serves no purpose other than trumpery. Theroadislong (talk) 08:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I wrote IMDB meaning Facebook. I apologise 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:41, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Facebook is not a reliable source. Theroadislong (talk) 08:37, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:CREATIVE) but presently it is not clear that it does. As other reviewers have noted, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a CV, which Wikipedia is not. Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements (it would be helpful if you could please identify, with specificity, which criteria you believe the draft meets?) then resubmit the page and leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 00:25, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This page has been moved back from article space to draft space. Please read the comments by the draftifying reviewer and address them. Do not resubmit this draft without addressing the comments of the previous reviewer. If you do not understand why this article was sent back to draft space, please ask the reviewer rather than simply resubmitting.
You may ask for advice on how to improve this draft at the Teahouse or on the talk pages of any of the reviewers. (The declining reviewers may advise you to ask for advice at the Teahouse.)
If this draft is resubmitted without any improvement or with very little improvement, it will probably be rejected. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:05, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Please address WP:COI. Greenman (talk) 18:30, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is undoubtedly copied from somewhere. Please also note, it should be Wicht and not David. Integrate the sources if they're reliable, not a list of links Star Mississippi 20:32, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is a CV, not an article Star Mississippi 20:28, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

NOT MERGED

There is a consensus not to merge as proposed. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 09:44, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I propose merging Draft:Film Afrika into David Wicht. I think the content in Film Afrika can easily be explained in the context of David Wicht, and a merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in David Wicht.Karinvanderlaag (talk) 11:16, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from article page - Arjayay (talk) 12:04, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Karinvanderlaag (talk) 10:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose without a far fuller discussion and a firm consensus, also on the grounds that the OP is a declared paid editor, so may not perform this themselves as they have attempted twice 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 12:36, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This sort of merge doesn't make any sense. While Wicht created the studio (and is thus CEO), he is not responsible for personally producing all of their films and their films (and the studio itself) has received coverage about the studio and not Wicht himself. Why would we merge such a thing here? Silver seren^C 23:53, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Film Afrika can easily be accommodated in David Wicht without any article-size or weighting problems. If the material expands beyond it's current stub worth of content in the future a split can be considered. TarnishedPath^talk 07:28, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
