You were already told that your userpage was not the appropriate place for this content, and the reasons why, but you chose to repost it there anyway. Please re-read the comments about the appropriate use of userpages, and the proper place to create new articles. Also note that the individual you are writing about must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria to merit inclusion. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:03, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there,
I hope you are well. Thanks for the helpful feedback and I apologise for causing frustration, I am new to this!
  1. I see now that I am accidentally trying to upload a USER PAGE instead of an ARTICLE. My apologies for repeating that and I will upload correctly.
  2. I would just like to note that the individual I am writing about is notable in a South African context. The problem is we are under-indexxed on Wikipedia when it comes to our talents/entertainers/public figures (Some are there, some are not) so I am working on creating a few articles for SA public figures who are not represented but are renowned in our spaces.
  3. If there's any chance at all I could please bother you for a 15 minute call I would appreciate it but if not (totally understand!) I am going to do a bit more research and redo this article correctly. Thank you so much.

Any communication I engage in regarding Wikipedia is public, on talk pages. I will not engage in private correspondence.
Wikipedia's sole determinant for the inclusion of topics are its notability criteria; whether it be its general notability guideline or subject-specific criteria. There are many topics that may be of local interest but lack sufficient notability to the world at large.
I would suggest that you review what is considered to be a reliable source. Generally speaking, these are sources that have established reputations for fact-checking and editorial oversight. This heavily favours mainstream news organizations, academic press, and reputable publishers of newspapers, books and magazines. Printed sources are acceptable if you can cite important details like the author's name, the title of the work, publication name, publisher and date of publication. Also, while we prefer English-language sources, we will accept non-English sources that meet the standards of reliability.
Sources must also be independent of the subject - in other words, they must not have any financial, personal or political interest in the topic they are covering. Otherwise that would be a conflict of interest and compromise their objectivity.
Several types of sources are disqualified. Self-published sources lack the required editorial review to be considered reliable. This invalidates things like social media, blogs, and online message forums. Primary sources like a subject's official website won't count towards establishing notability because it lacks the aforementioned independence.
After finding reliable, independent sources, then I would see if this individual has received significant coverage in these sources. Extensive coverage is required for establishing notability. Brief or passing mentions won't count, nor will coverage of another related topic that just has tangential coverage of the person. Interviews with the subject are considered primary sources because they are providing information about themselves directly.
It is also important that any article about a living person to conform to Wikipedia's strict policy on biographies of living persons. This is due to the potential harm that can be caused by unsourced/poorly sourced or non-neutral content. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:45, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
