Your draft article, Draft:AlphaRanker

Hello, UsamaSarwar. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "AlphaRanker".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Usama Sarwar (April 12)

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

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:Usama Sarwar 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.

Hello, UsamaSarwar! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 19:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Usama Sarwar

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 Draft:Usama Sarwar, 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.

April 2024

Hello, UsamaSarwar. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created Draft:Usama Sarwar has been deleted as meeting one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see WP:CORP for subjects that are groups or companies or organizations. Please see WP:ANYBIO for subjects who are people. Please see Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

Also, encyclopedia articles must be neutral in tone and not use language that promotes or advocates for a subject, or tries to cast the subject in a favorable light. Please see Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid here and here. Sometimes creators of promotional/advocational content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write such content, or if one has spent some time writing such content, one may simply be blind to non-neutral phrases or styles.

Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. A common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. It applies to any topic, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.

CV's/resumé's are by their nature promotional. Writing about oneself or any connected subject is discouraged as the connection can make objectivity difficult. Information on avoiding advocational content and common pitfalls is here and here, however be aware that these are not exhaustive.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk, and on IRC chat. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined.

Please refrain from hijacking pages, as you did with Open Listings. Should you believe the subject you were writing about deserves an article, please use the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version that you can then get feedback on. Please also see Wikipedia's disambiguation guideline which indicates how to handle separate subjects with similar names. If you continue to hijack an existing article, you may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. C F A 💬 21:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback. I understand that my edits to the Open Listings page may have been perceived as hijacking. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I've reached out to the previous owners to request they update the page with the most accurate information. As the new owner of Open Listings, I have the authority to make necessary changes and will ensure the page is up-to-date.

I'll be sure to use the Article Wizard in the future to create new articles and follow Wikipedia's disambiguation guidelines. I appreciate you taking the time to provide guidance.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. UsamaSarwar (talk) 21:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You don't "own" or have the right to control any Wikipedia page, regardless of who you are. Please do not use ChatGPT to respond to comments. Thanks. C F A 💬 21:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As the owner of Open Listings, I believe I should have the ability to update or create a company page for my business. I understand there may be specific procedures in place for this, and I would appreciate it if you could guide me on how to update the Open Listings information on the page. Thank you for your time and assistance. UsamaSarwar (talk) 22:07, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can use the Article Wizard to create a draft that can be submitted for review. Please read Wikipedia's policy on financial conflicts of interest and disclose your COI first. Also note that Wikipedia is not a soapbox for advertising, and any page you create has to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, or it may well be deleted. And no, once the page has been created, you will have to submit edit requests on the talk page to request changes. Please stop using ChatGPT to reply. I have already warned you. C F A 💬 22:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:CFA. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Theroadislong (talk) 21:43, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional because the references mentioned in the draft article are directly linked to the subject and are independent. i.e. Open-Source Contributor may have GitHub Repo links and Published Apps that undergo through a verification check, furthermore I'm adding more links from reliable, independent, secondary sources. Thanks! --UsamaSarwar (talk) 10:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
