Your submission at Articles for creation: Innermost (July 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CASSIOPEIA was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

:# Pease read WP:Your First Article and referencing for beginners to familiar yourself on how to write an article in Wikipedia and inline citation.

Please read notability requirement for organisation to gauge if the subject meet the requirement for no amount of editing will merit a page in Wikipedia if the subject fails to meet the requirements.

Please note that multiple/significant covereagesources needed are indepnent, reliable secondary sources which talk about the subject in detail and indept and not merely mention in passing. Sources from major newspaper and journal are good sources and FB, sales site, official web site, interview pieces, press releases are not good sources as they are not independent /reliable.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Innermost and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Innermost, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Paul Pedana at the New York Fashion.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Paul Pedana at the New York Fashion.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Karma Technologies has been deleted
Hello, Metalduky54. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but Karma Technologies has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD#G11. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS.

Wikipedia:Identifying blatant advertising#Typical signs of blatant advertising contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click User:Deepfriedokra/promo. These are just rough guides. Pages can avoid all those pitfalls and still be glaringly obvious ad copy. Sometimes pages meeting WP:CSD#G11 give the appearance of an editor violating Wikipedia:Conflict of interest or WP:PAID. Please read and heed them if they apply to you. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations.

There is a very common mistake of assuming that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to promotion for commercial gain, but that is not so. Sometimes creators of promotional content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write or spent some time writing corporate documents or mission/vision statements or anything similar, they may simply be blind to the promotionality. It can be hard to unlearn.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources . Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{references}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there.

The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. Please see WP:42 and WP:CORP. -- Deep fried okra 07:36, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for creating Mark Leibowitz.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tetrogen (November 11)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Gobonobo was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: I found zero reliable sources that discuss this dietary supplement. As Thjarkur already noted, none of the references in this article are actually about Tetrogen.

Concern regarding Draft:Tetrogen

Hello, Metalduky54. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Tetrogen, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 06:03, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lewis Perkins (April 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Clarityfiend was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:BIO. No significant media coverage of him personally.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lewis Perkins and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Lewis Perkins, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Your new article has been moved to draft space

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia and creating the Evan asano article! However, this article has been moved back into the draft space so you and others can continue working on it. Asano may be notable, but at present, the article does not reference any sources, meaning its notability cannot be verified. For information about proving notability for a person, see Wikipedia:Notability (people). Take care, Significa liberdade (talk) 07:19, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Evan Asano

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Evan Asano, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ashneer Grover (October 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 331dot was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

With even a cursory read I can see this is loaded with promotional language.

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:Ashneer Grover 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.

331dot (talk) 14:03, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

October 2023

Hello Metalduky54. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Metalduky54. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Metalduky54|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 14:04, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @331dot,

I appreciate your concern for maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia. However, I would like to clarify that my edits to the Ashneer Grover page were not financially motivated. I have not received any compensation, direct or indirect, for the information I contributed.

My sole intention was to provide valuable information to the Wikipedia community. The content was thoroughly researched and prepared with a neutral perspective to maintain the objectivity and neutrality that Wikipedia stands for. I hold Wikipedia's policies in the highest regard and will continue to make contributions in compliance with these guidelines. Metalduky54 (talk) 14:30, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't create the draft; it's not easy to find a draft unless you already know about it. 331dot (talk) 14:34, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. I would like to add that the information I have contributed about Ashneer Grover is readily accessible to anyone who conducts a simple search on Wikipedia. I have merely complied this information in a comprehensive and objective manner to facilitate understanding for Wikipedia users. I truly appreciate your dedication to preserving Wikipedia's integrity. Metalduky54 (talk) 14:39, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't ask you where you got your information, I wanted to know how you knew the draft existed in order to edit about it.

In looking at some of your other edits. I see that you uploaded this image and claimed it as your own work, but it appears to be professionally taken. Please clarify. 331dot (talk) 14:46, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your patience. In regards to the Ashneer Grover's draft, I has no knowledge of its existence until I decided write about him.

I was looking for some information about Ashneer Grover and noticed there was nothing about him in Wikipedia. So I decided to contribute an article about him in Wikipedia. When I tried to create a new article its then that I discovered that a draft already exists. Metalduky54 (talk) 15:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. And the image I asked about? 331dot (talk) 15:21, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the image query, I'd like to clarify that the image was given to me by a close friend, Mark. I was assisting him in setting up a page for his wife, Domenica, and he provided this image for that purpose.

Mark assured me that the image was taken by a professional photographer who gave them the rights to use it as they please. Since the image was directly provided to me, I uploaded it as my own. However, I understand the need for proper attribution. If it is within the Wikipedia guidelines, I would like to update the author details and credit the actual photographer for their work. Please guide me on how to proceed without violating any rules. Metalduky54 (talk) 08:52, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You must disclose your conflict of interest(click for instructions) with Domenica Leibowitz(since you are in communication with her husband).

You must first immediately remove the image from the article and request its deletion from Commons as not having the appropriate copyright. Image copyrights are typically held by the photographer, not the person depicted(or their representative). Your options here are

have the copyright holder upload the image
show that the image was previously released under a copyright permitting anyone to use it for any purpose with attribution, such as on a website(we can't just take your word for this).
have Mark take an image of Domenica and upload it himself to Commons.
