02:34, 16 October 2024 review of submission by Eddie.AMDBI

[edit]

My wiki page was deemed: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.

The company is the first local Malaysian multi level company self made company from 1992, that is similar to Amway (a global MLM brand). But this company has been around for 3 decades. why is it not notable for inclusion? Eddie.AMDBI (talk) 02:34, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

03:19, 16 October 2024 review of submission by Wikiwookie543

[edit]

I don't really understand why my article was declined for not being neutral. I have just stated the facts. Can you explain? I also want to change my title to the long form of the organization (American Muslim & Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council (AMMWEC)), not just AMMWEC. How do I do this? Wikiwookie543 (talk) 03:19, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikiwookie543: this draft just tells us what the organisation does, by quoting or regurgitating content from their website, press releases, etc., which inevitably gives it a corporate jargony feel. In any case, we're not interested in that, we want to hear what independent and reliable secondary sources have said about them, and what makes them worthy of note. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:49, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thank you for that feedback. I have removed all press releases, and only kept the references to the website that I thought were absolutely necessary (their mission in their own words, their leaders). Please let me know if this works for you and your team. Wikiwookie543 (talk) 03:39, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Renaming is done by moving the draft to a new title. However, you don't need to worry about it at this stage; if/when this draft is accepted, it will be moved to a new name anyway. I've made a note of your preferred title in the draft. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:50, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how to add my village in wikipedia Sateesh584 (talk) 09:04, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sateesh584 You only provide one source, a YouTube video. YouTube is not an acceptable source unless the video is from a reputable news outlet on their verified channel. An article should summarize multiple independent reliable sources. See Referencing for beginners as well. 331dot (talk) 09:08, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09:07, 16 October 2024 review of submission by Jn.mdel

[edit]

The original reviewer @TheLonelyPather declined the first draft for review in May 2024 - stating "contrary to purposes of wikipedia" and reasoned that "we already have Polarisation (waves)" article. Immediately then it was pointed out to reviewer that "Polarisation (waves)" article does not even talk of E and B modes of polarisation (infact even till today that article has nothing to do with it) - and so thereafter in response the reviewer took a stance - "Oh it seems from your references that this is about Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Radiation - so add / update this there". In response again I pointed out that E and B modes is not only relevant for CMB but to other cosmic background radiations also - infact for gravitational waves too - and this had already been written in my original submission comments also (which no one read/ignored) that - "Adding article to explain E and B modes - especially relevant to CMB and gravitational waves study" - but still to no avail. Now after a gap, I again made the efforts to update the draft with as much information as possible - infact clarifying / adding as many references as were being asked of me daily by some of the original discussion participants - but despite my multiple messages even to the original reviewer to review and realise/accept the mistake as a genuine "good-faith" oversight and now make amends to remove the original decline, the original reviewer instead is just choosing to remain silent till date - it has been 10 days of multiple messages - no response / no communication. I fail to understand how some who have been given certain privileges on wikipedia - which are only meant for rendering service to wikipedia and its contributors (and not as a perk to sit on high throne) - how can someone ignore a contributor - especially when I have been consistently reiterating the original draft submission and adding more and more and more as an individual. Faulting a content can be understandable and discussed to resolve - but just because the reviewer does not wish to admit a mistake - that cannot be the reason for all the work to go down the drain. Hence, I write now to HELPDESK that this original incorrect decline may kindly be reviewed for revert - do a review of the content and then decide - because i know after all this groundwork that E and B modes is not explained on Wikipedia till now - and that has been my only humble submission from day one. Jn.mdel (talk) 09:07, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first step is to appeal to the reviewer directly to ask them to reconsider. 331dot (talk) 09:09, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I sincerely wish you could have first read the above before suggesting "1st step".
Anyways see the original discussions in 1st step at : User talk:Jn.mdel#Your submission at Articles for creation: Polarization E and B modes (May 7)
See the 2nd attempt of 1st step at : [1]
And now see the 3rd attempt of the 1st step at : User talk:Jn.mdel#Concern regarding Draft:Polarization E and B modes
Maybe now you can appreciate the reasons for approaching helpdesk. Jn.mdel (talk) 10:24, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jn.mdel: if I understand correctly, you are asking us to revert the rejection of this draft. There is no need for this; your account is autoconfirmed, therefore you can publish the draft yourself, if you are determined to do so against the views of the three editors (two of whom are new page reviewers) with whom you have discussed this matter extensively on your talk page. New page patrol will then assess the article instead of us here at AfC. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:53, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

how can i improve my references? i need help Nonoj36 (talk) 11:53, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need references that give this man significant coverage, that don't just document his activities, sources that discuss what makes him a notable person. Do sources write about unique business strategies he has created and others emulate? Any other particular influence in his field? Things like that. 331dot (talk) 11:56, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:54, 16 October 2024 review of submission by The Politicians Page

[edit]

It's been frequently declining The Politicians Page (talk) 11:54, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He does not seem to meet NPOLITICIAN, as he does not hold elected office and has not won election to public office. He's just a local party official. You would then need to show he meets the broader notable person definition, with significant coverage in independent reliable sources.
You seem to be associated with him, as you took a very professional looking image of him and he posed for you. Please see WP:COI and WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 12:01, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such thing as a "notable source". There are sources which can demonstrate notability, but this draft does not cite any. Consequently, this has been rejected and will therefore not be considered further. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:36, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

21:07, 16 October 2024 review of submission by Mfunderburk

[edit]

I recently was denied within a review of my page, Draft:Thriveworks. I agree with the previous editor, Bonadea's, assessment. I’ve made significant changes to ensure the draft is unbiased. I’ve reworded and removed content, particularly in the introduction, services, partnerships, and history sections, to address the concerns. I hope you agree with these changes and could confirm or deny if I have done so properly.

As a reminder, I have disclosed my conflict of interest (COI) in every edit summary and on my user page. I fully respect Wikipedia's guidelines, which is why I chose to go through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process.

I believe the updated draft now meets Wikipedia’s guidelines for notability and neutrality. The sources are reliable, strictly independent, and provide in-depth coverage. Here are the three sources I feel best meet the criteria for WP in regards to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RoySmith/Three_best_sources, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline:

https://medcitynews.com/2024/07/thriveworks-ophelia-team-up-for-mental-health-oud-support/

https://patch.com/illinois/joliet/thriveworks-partners-joliet-offer-mental-health-services

https://bhbusiness.com/2024/04/11/new-thriveworks-ceo-bullish-on-enterprise-agreements/


I believe the article now reads as an encyclopedic entry, not as a corporate listing, and is worthy of publication. Could you please review it again and let me know if you agree? If further adjustments are needed, I’d appreciate any additional guidance. Or if you think I am good to now resubmit, I would appreciate that heads up!

Thank you for your time, and stay safe!

Mfunderburk (talk) 21:07, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So, if you think you have addressed the problem, resubmit the draft: that is what submission is for. We don't do on-demand reviews on this page.
Though I will say that nothing in the draft leads me to think that this company is notable. I haven't looked at what the sources say about it though. ColinFine (talk) 22:42, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

21:45, 16 October 2024 review of submission by Durocel

[edit]

Hello, I'm writing about my draft about Slovak players that have played or play in American Hockey League. I wanted some tips what to do to get my arcticle public, I have been told that Eliteprospects cannot be used to prove the list meets notabillity guidelines. So what should I do more?

Thanks for answer and hope you have a great day! Yours sincirely, Durocel Durocel (talk) 21:45, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

22:57, 16 October 2024 review of submission by Mayor Orangutan

[edit]

I know that there will be articles talking about Little Z that I can use to source the page, however I have trouble finding them as the videos appear instead. What's a good way to find credible sources?

Also, what would be an acceptable YouTube source to article source ratio? Alpharad's page, as well as presumably many internet creator pages, contain mostly YouTube links in the References, but I added too many to the Little Z page apparently, so I was wondering a percentage that could be used? Mayor Orangutan (talk) 22:57, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Youtube in general should not be used at all, so 0:inf. Of course, it is usable in LIMITED cases, like supporting a youtuber's subscriber count. (WP:ABOUTSELF). ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 03:25, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Youtube subscriber counts, likes on a YT video and similar stats are actually not supposed to be sourced from the channel/video itself. Wikipedia:WikiProject YouTube/Notability is an essay (not guideline/policy) but it discusses why that is the case. --bonadea contributions talk 10:19, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that's all good, but a lot of articles do contain a high amount of YouTube sources. Alpharad's page has over 50% YouTube source links, and I know I'm not supposed to use the reason that other stuff exists, but the page was inspired by the Alpharad page, so this kind of threw me off. I think it's often acceptable to use YouTube sources, but I don't know that much about the system.
Also, about the whole finding credible sources thing, is there a sort of feature to find them? I know I read an article about Little Z getting engaged when it happened, but I can't find it when I search for it, and really can't find any articles about anything.
Thanks. Mayor Orangutan (talk) 01:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Each article or draft is judged on its own merits, not based on other articles that themselves may be inappropriate and just not yet addressed by a volunteer. If you'd like to identify these other articles, we can take action. 331dot (talk) 12:07, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed your post to link to your draft as intended(you need the "Draft:" portion). Remember to log in when posting.

20:04, 17 October 2024 review of submission by Bluebox57

[edit]

I am requesting assistance because I am a volunteer with the Organization of Opera Orlando, and I have been trying to publish this article about three times. I am worried about editing my draft then submitting it for review only for it to get rejected again. I don't want this article to get deleted because of my incompetence. I thought I followed the advice of the previous reviewers, but it seems I am still getting the same answer, please help. Bluebox57 (talk) 20:04, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a volunteer, you should declare a conflict of interest, see WP:COI for instructions. Drafts aren't deleted due to mere editing. Between your last two submissions, you removed content, but you didn't add reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 20:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Like most people who trry to create an article without having spent significant time learning how Wikipedia works by editing, you appear to have created the article BACKWARDS.
First find sources that are reliably published, wholly indepedent of the company - not, for example, published by a university that the company collaborated with - and giving significant coverage to the company (not just to a person involved, or to a particular production). See WP:42 for the triple criteria that these sources must pass.
Then, if you have found at least three sources which meet those criteria, forget every single thing you know about the company, and write a summary of what those sources say. This is one of the reasons why creating an article is even more difficult if you have a COI. Not one single thing that you know about the company belongs in the article, unless you can find a reliable published source for it. (Uncontroversial factual information like dates and places may be taken from non-independent sources, as long as the bulk comes from independent sources.)
My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft.

[edit]

Can I add languages or is that only possible if the draft is accepted? Hectorinaaa (talk) 21:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If by "add languages" you mean translate the draft for other language Wikipedias, you are free to do that; each language Wikipedia is a separate project. You'll need to make sure that the translation is acceptable for the Wikipedia version you are editing, each has different policies. 331dot (talk) 21:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hectorina, your draft is about a child who lived about 420 years ago and who died at six years of age. What makes her notable other than her royal ancestry? Wouldn't it be best to cover her in the articles about her parents? Notability is not inherited. Cullen328 (talk) 07:23, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @Hectorinaaa. I'm guessing you mean, link it to related articles in other Wikipedias, such as no:Anna Maria Vasa and pl:Anna Maria Wazówna (polska królewna)? The answer is no, not until it becomes an article in mainspace. ColinFine (talk) 11:07, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No no, you know how on the top if you click the 3 languages, and it takes you to those sites. Hectorinaaa (talk) 11:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hectorinaaa: that is what ColinFine meant. Those links link published articles in different language versions of Wikipedia. A draft is not yet a published article. Therefore those links can only be added once (if) the draft is accepted for publication. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:07, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

03:05, 18 October 2024 review of submission by Coincollector4500

[edit]

I'm struggling as to why this is meeting the guidlines. This has dozens of reliable sources and is very independen from the orginal source. Can some kindly explain to me what the issue seems to be. Coincollector4500 (talk) 03:05, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Coincollector4500: it does not have "dozens of sources", it has 14. This includes the company's own website, and that of its founder's. One source, New York Post, is not considered reliable. Three (Morningstar, Fox Business, and CBN) do not work. At least one is based on a press release. And a couple are about rare bills and coins, not about the company. This leaves a few, which may or may not count towards notability per WP:NCORP, but "dozens" they emphatically are not. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:30, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PS: I've posted a conflict-of-interest query on your talk page, please read and respond to it. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:30, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Coincollector4500, the quality of your sources is far more important than their quantity. For the purpose of establishing notability, it is essential that the sources be fully independent of the topic. Low quality and non-independent sources waste the time of reviewers and obscure rather than highlighting notability. Cullen328 (talk) 07:18, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And in addition, Coincollector4500, there are multiple copies of at least one of the press releases, [2] and [3]. Surely it must be obvious that these are not different sources? --bonadea contributions talk 09:02, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bonadea, I think a lot of beginners see citations as a box-ticking exercise, rather than understanding that they are the foundation on which the very existence of an article depends. From that point of view, the identity of two sources will not be of any consequence. ColinFine (talk) 11:15, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why the article isn't publicing ? TANVIR MAHMUD JIHAD (talk) 04:29, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TANVIR MAHMUD JIHAD: because there is nothing to suggest that you are notable enough to be included in a global encyclopaedia. Please note that this is not social media where you can create your own 'profile' and tell the world about yourself; for that, you need to find an alternative platform, like LinkedIn etc. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:20, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

05:26, 18 October 2024 review of submission by Bollardant

[edit]

Hello, I would like to know which references do not provide a good coverage, so I can target them, and replace them with more sources that provide a wider coverage. Thanks! Bollardant (talk) 05:26, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bollardant: I haven't checked the two offline sources, but most of the ones you're citing offer only passing mentions of the hippodrome in the wider context of the excavation. The book (#4) is obviously a solid source. Possibly also the paper (#6), although it's not clear what sort of paper it is, and in any case it's by the same author as the book, so arguably only counts as a single source. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your quick response! I’ll look into it. Bollardant (talk) 06:40, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

06:43, 18 October 2024 review of submission by Tromaggot

[edit]

according to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(events) : Notable events usually have significant impact over a wide region, domain, or widespread societal group.

Tromanale was a an event over a wide region. Visitors from Spain, France and even from the United States came especially for this events. For 2 years it was the officlal Counter Event to the Berlinale (international Filmfestival in Berlin) Tromaggot (talk) 06:43, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tromaggot: that's not a question; did you have one in mind you wanted to ask?
Also, just to say that an event doesn't have international "impact" just because it receives visitors from other countries. That would make pretty much any event notable. There was a violin recital in our village hall the other day, which had in the audience people from at least three other countries. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:14, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Does the fact that the Tromanale was the official counter event to the Berlinale make it a notable event? Tromaggot (talk) 07:27, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tromaggot: in a word, no. Not in and of itself, at least: it may, however, generate sufficient media coverage, which in turn could make it notable (in the Wikipedia sense of that word). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:34, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the article / reports in the "Berliner Zeitung", "TAZ", "Gory News", PRANKE-Magazin are not enough? How reports needs a festival? Tromaggot (talk) 07:39, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tromaggot: I'm not commenting on whether or not the sources cited in this draft are enough, as I haven't reviewed it. Note that it's not enough to cite a source, even a reliable and independent one; that source must also provide significant coverage of the subject, not just passing mentions.
But to answer your question in a general sense, we usually require 3+ sources that fully meet the WP:GNG standard for notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:43, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
so I got this source from the Berliner Zeitung that provide significant coverage of the subject:
BERLINALE - Now the Berlinale also has its counter-event.
And the screendaily article.
So I just need to find a third one?
Was wrong with the Gory News Report? Gory News was a German magazin comparable to fangoria magazine? Is Gory News? Tromaggot (talk) 08:00, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09:11, 18 October 2024 review of submission by Thewiko

[edit]

Can you give me some suggestion for better source articles than web-links about an obscure game?

Any response would be apreciated. Thewiko (talk) 09:11, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the game is "obscure", it almost certainly does not have the coverage needed to merit a Wikipedia article at this time. For video games usually sources include reviews of the game by professional reviewers(not just users of the game). 331dot (talk) 09:25, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By obscure i mean that It does have rewies by proffesional sites (like Metacritic and some more) and critics but it doesn't have much info that's 100% verifiable or in moderate depth, I think that it deserves an article because it has a sequel and decent player numbers, but that's subjective.
Again, any advice? Thewiko (talk) 09:54, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reputable game journalism websites that have covered the game in some detail is what we're looking for. Not MetaCritic, not from Slitherine (as they're the publisher so not independent), and not from Steam. Qcne (talk) 09:57, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) If you have no sources with in depth coverage and the sources you have do not have in depth coverage, the game would not merit an article. No amount of editing can confer notability on a topic, there has to be sources to support an article. Yes, player numbers contribute nothing towards notability- it could have five players and be notable, or five million and not be notable.
The draft currently doesn't have any discussion of reviews by professional reviewers; it mentions its Steam rating, but that is compiled by players rating the game, not professional reviewers. 331dot (talk) 10:00, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh!
Understood then thanks for the replies and the advice.
Ill leave the draft as a draft for now, or until the sequel gets some atention or some reliable and proffesional rewies.
Again thank you for the replies. Thewiko (talk) 10:03, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

13:27, 18 October 2024 review of submission by Ombisen18

[edit]

Hi, I need help understanding why you rejected my page when I have written it from a neutral point of view. Also, the reference links are active and from well-known sources. What else do you need? Could you please assist me in making this page live? I am open to adding or removing any content you suggest.

Ombisen18 (talk) 13:27, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ombisen18: the draft is written in corporate buzz speak and peacockery throughout; I wouldn't call it 'neutral point of view'. And the sources do not establish notability per WP:NCORP. These are the reasons why it was declined (not 'rejected'). You may be able to resolve the latter issue, lack of notability, if you can find better sources. But if this is the most 'neutral' you can write, then you may not be able to get around that hurdle.
I would also suggest that you take a look at WP:REFB for advice on how to reference correctly using the preferred method of inline citations and dynamic footnotes. That makes it much easier for reviewers to see where each piece of information comes from, and how much of this remains unsupported. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:34, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry, Ombisen18, but consider these phrases that you wrote:
leveraging its deep industry knowledge to meet client needs across various sectors
and
was established to address the increasing demand for specialized IT services and talent solutions in a fast-evolving digital landscape
and
an expanding portfolio of solutions that meet the needs of global enterprises
That is not the tone expected in an encyclopedia article. That's all vapid corporate PR jargon very similar to the writing style used by 10,000 corporate marketing departments. It is entirely devoid of any useful information about the company for the readers of an encyclopedia article. Cullen328 (talk) 17:14, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This page is not unambiguously promotional because similar companies have Wikipedia pages (e.g., Randstad NV, Robert Half, etc.). If Wikipedia is biased, I will stop following and donating to it, which I do regularly, and I will advocate that this is a biased platform with its own rules and regulations, lacking transparency.
People are searching for NLB Services; its brand name has more than 10,000 searches monthly, and many are impersonating this brand and deceiving users. It is necessary to keep this page live to educate users that the company exists and to confirm that this is the correct entity.
So, it is my humble request that you please approve this page. If there are any lines you believe are not appropriate or promotional in nature, feel free to delete them; I am okay with any necessary adjustments.
Thank you for your consideration. Ombisen18 (talk) 13:57, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ombisen18: whether articles on "similar companies" exist is neither here nor there (see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS); this draft will only be accepted if and when it meets our required standards.
Whether or not you donate money to Wikimedia Foundation is entirely your business, and has no impact on whether this draft will be accepted. It also has nothing to do with any of us here; we're all volunteers and don't see a penny of that money. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:08, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zakoriko: it is completely impossible to get a draft accepted which doesn't show that the subject is notable, which in turn is evidenced by independent and reliable sources. It is also impossible to get a completely unreferenced draft accepted, which this now is, since all the references (such as they were) have been removed. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:20, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zakoriko: this is the company's CEO commenting on something (Russians trying to get around the various travel restrictions). It isn't really about the company, and it also isn't independent as it's based on an interview of the CEO. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:37, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you're planning to ask about each of the sources in turn, perhaps I can pre-empt that by referring you to the previous discussion here on this same draft: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk/Archives/2024_September_12#12:13,_12_September_2024_review_of_submission_by_176.10.136.162

@Julia Ohela: as stated in the review comments, you must rewrite the content without copying or closely paraphrasing any copyrighted material. Even if you yourself wrote the content on the Ballet Bond website, you can not reuse it here, unless it has been explicitly released into the public domain under a licence compatible with Wikipedia, typically a Creative Commons one. There is no evidence of this on the said website.
As for your relationship with the subject, you have a conflict of interest which must be properly disclosed under our terms and conditions. I queried this on your talk page four months ago but you have not responded. A more specific query, that of paid editing, has now been posted on your talk page. It contains instructions for how to disclose. Please act upon this without delay. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:39, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Julia Ohela: To clarify what DoubleGrazing is saying, copyright is granted automatically upon publication - registration only affects damages in a court case - and all-rights-reserved standard copyright irreconciliably conflicts with our content licences such that it's impossible for us to use text still under such copyright, even if you wrote the original. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:33, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Material on your website is extremely unlikely to be appropriate to a Wikipedia article, because Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

Donations are collected by the Wikimedia Foundation, which just operates the computers Wikipedia is on.

And the mere fact that something is public on the internet does not mean that it is free of copyright. 331dot (talk) 12:12, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Garden Trust, like many people, are ignorant of how Wikipedia works. Neither their approval nor their blog is of any relevance at all to a Wikipedia article.
In order to create an article about a subject, you must first establish that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability, normally by collecting several source which are reliably published (so, not blogs, wikis, or social media), independent (so, not written, published, commission, or containing the words of, the subject or anybody associated with the subject), and containing significant coverage of the subject (not just passing mentions) - see WP:42 for details.
Then, if you have found several such sources, you write a summary (in your own words) of what those independent sources say about the subject. Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources.

Ysudeesh (ec) I fixed the link to your draft, you need the "Draft:" portion when linking it. The good news is that your draft was declined, not rejected. Rejected has a specific meaning in the draft process, that a draft may not be resubmitted. Declined means that it may be resubmitted if you can address the concerns given.
The awards you list do not contribute to notability as they lack articles themselves(like Nobel Peace Prize or Academy Award). Most of your sources seem to just document the awards, and are not signficant coverage of this person.

Specifically, you haven't provided even a single source that is reliable and independent, which is what you need to write an article on a subject. YouTube and IMDB are not proper sources to establish notability, nor is an anonymous Medium blog that appears connected to the subject (and from the similarity in handles, possibly yours).

@Logojech: the sources in your draft do not establish notability, in fact they don't even contribute towards it. We need to see significant coverage in multiple secondary sources that are both reliable and entirely independent. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:02, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

References. 331dot (talk) 12:50, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Specifically, you need references that meet all three of the criteria in WP:42: they must be reliable (not blogs or social media), independent (not written, published, or commissioned by the artist or his associates - including galleries that have exhibited him) and contain significant coverage of him, not just of his works). If you cannot find several such sources, you should give up, as it will not be possible to create an article about him.
And you must write in English. (The sources can be in Romanian, if there aren't English sources). ColinFine (talk) 17:36, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nidheshd82: we don't get involved in co-editing here at the help desk. You can find pretty much everything you need for article creation at WP:YFA, and advice for referencing at WP:REFB.
Please note that we have no interest in what your organisation wants to tell the world about itself. We almost exclusively want to see what entirely independent and reliable third parties (mainly secondary sources) have said about your organisation and what makes it worthy of note.
You also must disclose your conflict of interest immediately. I have posted a message on your talk page with instructions. If you are employed by this organisation, you need to make the more specific paid-editing disclosure. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:19, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @Nidheshd82. The phrase "presence on wiki" indicates that, like many people, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is. If there is ever a Wikipedia article about your Foundation, the article will not belong to the Foundation, will not be controlled by the Foundation, will not necessarily say would the Foundation would like it to say, and will not be for the benefit of the Foundation except incidentally.

@Bolaji abegi: evidently, you did not "fix all adjustments" (sic); the draft still provides insufficient evidence that the person is notable.

Hello, @KyleSettlemyer2000. The draft was rejected, after being declined five times by five different reviewers.
Your only chance of reviving this rejected draft is by approaching the rejecting reviewer, @S0091 and persuading them that you understand why it was rejected, and you have suitable sources (different than those already in the draft) that meet Wikipedia's requirements to establish notability.

22:38, 20 October 2024 review of submission by Dijkstra'sDemon

[edit]

I created this page with several external references and submitted it for review. The article was rejected almost instantaneously. The reviewer could not have possible read the referenced material in such a short amount of time, so I can only conclude that the dismissal is unfounded. Dijkstra'sDemon (talk) 22:38, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Drmies is not reading the article he reviews and declines. There are six references in the article, five of which are not written by the subject of the page. Still, he complains that "a biography needs outside references." Dijkstra'sDemon (talk) 23:12, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please edit this existing section, instead of creating a new thread with each comment.
Your first source is an interview, which is not independent. The second is something he wrote, also not independent. The third doesn't seem to mention him, though I might have missed it. The fourth briefly mentions him. The fifth is a product description. The last briefly mentions him. These do not establish notability.
Drmies is an experienced reviewer; I understand your frustration, but complaining about the reviewer is not the pathway forward. 331dot (talk) 23:27, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is helpful feedback. Thanks. I have seen a lot of Wikipedia pages published about people with just a couple obscure blog posts as "references" which certainly don't rise to the level of notability that seems to be required here, but I'm happy to add a few more references that mention Lohstroh. Note that the third reference indeed doesn't mention him because it serves as a reference to a technical concept that's mentioned in the text. Dijkstra'sDemon (talk) 00:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dijkstra'sDemon Please see other stuff exists. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to get by us. Not every article that exists went through this process, and this process has not existed the entire time Wikipedia has. Articles can be created without being approved by anyone and can exist for decades. We can only address what we know about. If you'd like to help us, you can identify these other articles you have seen for possible action. We need the help.
We aren't looking for just mentions, there needs to be significant coverage that goes into detail as to what the source sees as important/significant/influential about him. 331dot (talk) 00:31, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The various sources cited in the draft article clearly explain that the famous amplifier design was due to Lohstroh and Otala. The design is discussed on Wikipedia on the Harman Kardon page. Matti Otala also has a biographical page on Wikipedia. Considering that Otala is sufficiently notable to have an article devoted to him, please explain why Lohstroh isn't. Dijkstra'sDemon (talk) 05:27, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the link to Otala is broken because the page is in Finnish. See https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matti_Otala Dijkstra'sDemon (talk) 05:28, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dijkstra'sDemon, in this edit you added some company's website (not independent, not acceptable) which mentions your subject once but says nothing about him, and the review you added from Hi-Fi News & Record Review might be helpful, but not really for an article about him since it contains hardly any biographical material (it's also cited incorrectly and I'm going to remove the link as a possible copyvio). Drmies (talk) 13:34, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article itself doesn't contain anything beyond the key contribution of the amplifier design, which is what Lohstroh is known for, precisely because there aren't any sources to cite. Why do you insist on biographical material from secondary sources to back up information that is not present in the article? Dijkstra'sDemon (talk) 05:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:50, 21 October 2024 review of submission by Sun tzunar

[edit]

Dear Wikipedia Moderators,

I am writing to respectfully appeal the decision regarding the rejection of the article submission for Giovanni Pietro Barbano and to explain the relevance and importance of creating this entry in alignment with Wikipedia’s notability and relevance standards.

1. Current Role and Importance of the Mission: Giovanni Pietro Barbano currently serves as the Head of the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX), which is the largest civilian mission ever deployed by the European Union under its Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). EULEX plays a critical role in strengthening Kosovo’s justice system and rule of law institutions, which are vital components of its ongoing state-building efforts. The mission holds international strategic importance, as it is instrumental in maintaining regional stability in the Western Balkans, a priority area for EU foreign policy. Barbano’s position at the helm of EULEX grants him a highly influential role in European diplomacy, crisis management, and peace operations, which aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines on the notability of public figures in key international positions.

2. Precedent of Articles for EULEX Heads of Mission: It is important to note that the three previous Heads of Mission for EULEX—Lars-Gunnar Wigemark, Alexandra Papadopoulou, and Gabriele Meucci—all have articles on Wikipedia, largely due to the significance of this particular post. The role of the Head of Mission at EULEX is recognized as a highly notable position due to the mission's importance to both European Union foreign policy and international efforts to stabilize the Balkans region. As Barbano holds the same position, his article should logically follow the same precedent as his predecessors, particularly considering the ongoing relevance of EULEX in international security.

3. Distinguished Career and International Contributions: In addition to his current role, Barbano has over 40 years of service in law enforcement and international peacekeeping operations, including significant contributions to missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and leadership in the European Gendarmerie Force (EUROGENDFOR). His leadership in key international engagements such as the Western European Union Police Mission and EUFOR ALTHEA demonstrates his long-standing commitment to international peace and security. His direct involvement in these high-profile missions supports his notability, particularly within the context of European and global peacekeeping efforts and had a direct influence on the development of stability policing and police peacekeeping doctrine..

4. Recognition and Honors: Barbano's career has been recognized with prestigious international honors, including the Legion of Merit (Officer Degree) awarded by the President of the United States, and the Knight Cross of the Military Order of Italy, the highest military decoration of the Italian Republic which endorsment alone would deserve a mention in Wikipedia. These recognitions underscore his exceptional service and contributions to international security, further validating his importance as a notable figure in both military and diplomatic circles.

5. Public Interest and Academic Relevance: Given the international scope of EULEX and the prominent role of Barbano, the creation of a Wikipedia article would contribute to public knowledge of EULEX’s operations, the challenges facing Kosovo’s justice system, and the broader context of European Union foreign and security policy. His biography is also of significant interest to researchers and students in international relations, peace studies, and security studies. Such articles are critical for enhancing public awareness of key individuals who play pivotal roles in shaping global security landscapes.

Conclusion: Considering his extensive contributions to international crisis management, leadership in peace operations, and current role as Head of EULEX, Giovanni Pietro Barbano clearly meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability as a public figure of international significance. His career and contributions should be available to the global audience as they provide valuable insight into European security operations and the promotion of rule of law in post-conflict regions. I kindly request that the decision be reconsidered and that his article be published in order to reflect the significance of his role and impact on international peacekeeping efforts.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely, Sun Tzunar Sun tzunar (talk) 11:50, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

in addition to that. in order to provide further context on the significance of the subject in alignment with Wikipedia’s notability standards, I would like to address the sources cited in the article, demonstrating their reliability and relevance to the submission.
    • 1. Reputable and Independent Sources Cited:**
The submission draws on independent and reliable sources, including official documents from the European Union and other governmental organizations, to verify Giovanni Pietro Barbano's current role and career accomplishments. The following sources are highlighted in the article:
- **European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX):**
EULEX itself is a highly reputable source for confirming Barbano’s current position as the Head of Mission. Official EULEX websites and press releases are widely regarded as reliable, authoritative resources for factual information regarding the mission and its leadership. This includes Barbano's appointment by the EU Political and Security Committee on June 26, 2023, which is a verifiable and significant milestone in his career.
- **European Union Documentation (EEAS):**
The European External Action Service (EEAS) is the diplomatic arm of the EU and a primary source for information on EU missions, including EULEX. Their published materials and decisions on mission leadership provide the basis for validating Barbano’s official appointment and the strategic importance of his position in Kosovo. These are neutral, independently published documents that meet Wikipedia’s standards for reliability.
- **Italian Government and Defense Ministry Websites:**
Barbano’s long-standing military service, his leadership roles within the Carabinieri, and his recognition by the Italian government are well-documented by official publications and communications from the Italian Ministry of Defense. For instance, his receipt of the **Knight Cross of the Military Order of Italy** in 2022, awarded by the President of Italy, is verifiable through Italy’s official honors system, providing another highly credible source.
- **International Recognitions (e.g., Legion of Merit):**
Barbano’s receipt of the **Legion of Merit (Officer Degree)** from the President of the United States in 2019 can be confirmed via independent governmental sources and documentation from the U.S. government. This international honor is awarded to individuals who demonstrate exceptional service, and its citation in the article further underscores the global recognition of his contributions. This honor, awarded by an independent foreign government, strengthens the validity of Barbano’s notability.
    • 2. Importance of Precedent Set by Reliable Sources:**
It is also important to point out that the article is structured similarly to those of his predecessors, all of whom have Wikipedia entries largely based on their role as Head of EULEX. For example, **Lars-Gunnar Wigemark** (one of Barbano’s predecessors) has a Wikipedia entry that references similar sources: EULEX publications, EU decisions, and relevant press releases. The fact that these types of sources are already deemed acceptable for his predecessors demonstrates that the same types of sources for Barbano should also be considered reliable and independent for his article.
    • 3. Avoiding "Peacock" Terms:**
The sources quoted in the article focus strictly on factual, verifiable information from government and institutional reports. These sources avoid promotional language and focus solely on Barbano’s career milestones, international recognitions, and current responsibilities. The use of reputable, neutral sources like EU and government documentation ensures that the article adheres to Wikipedia’s guidelines for neutrality and objectivity, avoiding any language that could be considered biased or promotional.
    • 4. Public Interest and Academic Relevance:**
Given the geopolitical importance of the EULEX mission and Barbano's leadership, the availability of a Wikipedia article based on these independent, verifiable sources would serve the public interest by providing access to accurate and reliable information about a key figure in European and international security operations. Scholars, researchers, and the general public interested in EU missions and peacekeeping operations would benefit from an authoritative entry, grounded in credible sources, that explains his role and contributions.
    • Conclusion:**
The article on Giovanni Pietro Barbano is backed by a range of independent and reliable sources, including official EU, Italian, and U.S. government publications. These sources meet Wikipedia’s standards for verifiability and neutrality. Additionally, given the precedent of his three predecessors having Wikipedia entries based on their leadership of EULEX, Barbano’s article similarly warrants inclusion. I kindly request that the decision be reconsidered based on the reliable sources cited and the notability of the subject. Sun tzunar (talk) 11:54, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sun tzunar: I will admit straight off the bat that I haven't read your massive wall of text. The reason being, the draft cites primary sources only, which do not establish notability per WP:GNG. It was therefore correctly declined. That is pretty much the long and the short of it, I'm afraid. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:29, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sun tzunar Thank you for your long treatise. Rather, thank you for both your long treatises. However, may I commend brevity to you, please?
The nub of the issue that you have not presented the subject as notable, nor have you verified with references any notability. That is a little Catch 22, since you can't say what is not referenced and you can't reference what is not said.
Without stated and verified notability in a WIkipedia sense the subject is a WP:ROTM senior law officer. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 12:30, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Did you write this using ChatGPT? The style is very similar, and seems to rely more on vague notions of valuable insight and Wikipedia's criteria for notability as a public figure of international significance, instead of our actual policies and guidelines ("public figure of international significance" is not a criterion for notability, we want in-depth secondary coverage in independent sources).
Also, we don't have "moderators", users reviewing AfC articles and giving advice are volunteers rather than any kind of higher-ups. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 13:04, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, I fail to grasp your point, especially considering the countless articles on Wikipedia concerning public officials, military personnel, senior law enforcement officials, etc., whose notability and relevance are solely based on the positions they have held throughout their own careers. In this case, we are dealing with a political appointment by an international body (the European Union's PSC), which makes this figure unquestionably notable.
As for the issue of sources, what could be more referenced than the official appointment document from the PSC published on the mission's official website? Sun tzunar (talk) 14:20, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia articles are based on what reliable independent sources say, an " official appointment document" is a primary source and of little use here. Also see other stuff exists. Theroadislong (talk) 14:24, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sun tzunar The problem you face is simple. Put plain, you want the article? Then you work with the rules. So please make the effort to grasp the point, which is non negotiable.
Or, I suppose, you could argue. Please don't do that. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:06, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

16:09, 21 October 2024 review of submission by Elisa Polea

[edit]

Hello everyone, I previously had a draft about Iker Unzu rejected, with the reasoning that the topic wasn’t sufficiently notable. That was a few months ago, and since then, Unzu has hosted the YouTube Works Awards 2024 alongside YouTube's Vice President Pedro Pina in Madrid. He was also awarded the Diamond Play Button in a ceremony during the event.

In addition, Unzu has a significant social media presence, with over 30 million followers globally, ranking as the 30th most subscribed YouTuber in Spain and the 18th most followed creator on TikTok.

I would like to understand why this isn't considered sufficient for notability, especially given that other articles have less recognition and fewer trustworthy sources. Could anyone provide advice on how to improve the submission to meet Wikipedia’s standards?

Thank you so much in advance for your help. Elisa Polea (talk) 16:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Elisa Polea: first off, just to say that I have not reviewed this draft, I'm only commenting on what you say. Social media metrics, awards (other than perhaps those of the very highest order), etc. do not make anyone notable. They may generate media coverage, such that this makes the person notable, but that's an indirect causality.
As for other articles that may exist out there (on which point, please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS), we don't assess drafts by comparison to existing articles, but by reference to the prevailing policies and guidelines. Any number of problematic articles exist among the nearly 7m in the English-language Wikipedia, but this does not mean we should create more such problems. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:16, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lipovci: See Help:Referencing for beginners. I would also suggest that the best sources you're going to find are professional reviews of the vehicles from reputable publications. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Can you pease comment, why the link to this historic house in Malden, MA was deleted?

https://w.wiki/Bc$m Breakfast007 (talk) 17:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was only deleted due to inactivity, you may request its restoration at WP:REFUND. 331dot (talk) 18:00, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Breakfast007: I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but just to say that your draft Draft:Cox-Haven House was deleted over a year ago, because it hadn't been edited for 6+ months. You still seem to have some related content in your sandbox User:Breakfast007/sandbox and on your user page User:Breakfast007. HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:01, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the page not publishing 88.97.133.226 (talk) 18:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft has been rejected. It is completely unsourced and shows no indication of notability. 331dot (talk) 18:57, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I post this to the Afrikaans Wikipedia?

@Hanlo Benjamen you'll have to copy and paste it. There's no mechanism for moving content from one language Wikipedia to another. Nthep (talk) 20:02, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

20:03, 21 October 2024 review of submission by UpWriteGhost

[edit]

Hi can you let me know when this article will be reviewed again? UpWriteGhost (talk) 20:03, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

UpWriteGhost, it says right at the top of your draft that drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 1,227 pending submissions waiting for review. Is there some part of that which you do not understand? If reviewed now, your draft would be declined. You are using non-neutral language such as distinguished career in healthcare innovation and has played a pivotal role in developing technologies. You cannot cite praise like that to user submitted content and an interview with him. The biggest problem by far with your draft is that it completely lacks references to reliable sources that are totally independent of Debgupta and that devote significant coverage of Debgupta. The quality of your references is vastly more important than their quantity, and you have no high quality sources. Cullen328 (talk) 21:27, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid not. Nobody can tell you when it will get reviewed, because this will happen when one of the reviewers looks at it and decides to review it. It could be minutes or months.
Looking through the citations (not at the sources themselves) I doubt that many of them meet the triple requirement of reliability, independence, and significant coverage (see WP:42). Unless several sources meet those requirements, the article will not demonstrate that Debgupta meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and it will not be accepted.

22:10, 21 October 2024 review of submission by 47.190.117.192

[edit]

This is a well-known podcaster whose page keeps getting rejected, largely due to a lack of evidence and poor sources around his early life and business claims.

At this stage, though, he is most notable as a media figure. Are his early life and career sections even worth including? There are plenty of mainstream news articles independently confirming details about his show, Youtube channel, and notable guests. 47.190.117.192 (talk) 22:10, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft will still be declined, given that you're relying on Youtube for FN13 and 14 (FN1, FN7 is WP:ABOUTSELF for sure)... Biographies missing "Career" sections can result in possible problems, since the critical lack of coverage would definitely screw the article over. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 23:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What is needed and missing are references to reliable sources completely independent of Bet-David that devote significant coverage to Bet-David. Without such sources, the draft cannot possibly be accepted. Three excellent sources are vastly better than 20 mediocre sources. You have no excellent sources.

I need help resubmitting for approval Jooliah (talk) 00:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you... just delete the rejection template to resubmit it by force? Don't do that, you can appeal the rejection by discussing it with the rejecter if you are sure that it is significantly improved and meets guidelines like WP:CREATIVE. Make sure the sources have significant coverage. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 00:22, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I'd like to resubmit a fully redone unique encyclopedia article version of this paper "Darksort" on Google Scholar and published in a scientific journal. The current edit is the current redone version. I believe it could be great for wikipedia. Regards. BlakeB93 (talk) 04:08, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BlakeB93: This is still written like a research essay and assumes the reader has a background in compsci. We do not assume our reader has any specialised background knowledge, as a rule. (Or as I usually put it, you're writing for Joe Blow from San Antonio, not for people who're read-in to the necessary background.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 05:44, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

05:20, 22 October 2024 review of submission by TheMann1989

[edit]

Hello, I recently had my article Draft:Bliss (Tech N9ne album) declined by User:Dan arndt (because Apple Music was my only source at the time of declination) and User:SafariScribe. I would like for someone else to review it again and see if it is eligible for submission. User:SafariScribe insists that I don't have enough "credible" sources, but in comparison to other Tech N9ne discography articles I feel I do. TheMann1989 (talk) 05:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheMann1989: the question isn't whether this draft's referencing is as good as some existing article's, but rather whether it is enough to satisfy either the general WP:GNG or the special WP:NALBUM notability guideline.
If you've addressed the reason(s) for the previous decline, you will get a new review when you resubmit your draft. If instead you're saying you disagree with that review, then you'll need to take this up with the last reviewer, or if you don't get engagement, explain here at the help desk where the review went wrong. And by 'explain', I don't mean "I feel they're wrong", but rather "this draft complies with the relevant guidelines and here's the evidence". -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I fixed the page, added the negative reception of his films. He passes WP:NACTOR for acting in 4+ films in lead roles. DareshMohan (talk) 08:33, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DareshMohan: okay... and? I take it you're saying this should be published, in which case you can just move it into the main article space yourself, as you have the necessary permissions and don't need our approval. Just remember to clear out the AfC templates after you've published it (or let us know and we'll do that). Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:39, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing: I don't have the rights to move this page due to the whole controversy surrounding Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Symon_Sadik/Archive. If you were to make it an article, though, it is best to put it under the supervision of @Ravensfire:, @CNMall41:, who have to work like the Avengers to keep the article neutral. DareshMohan (talk) 08:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DareshMohan: oh, sorry, I didn't notice the title is protected, my bad! In that case, I can't help either, as I'm not an admin. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:52, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MM Comms So, your username suggests you are employed by Qonto; if so, you need to make the stricter paid editing disclosure, a Terms of Use requirement. I will post information about this on your user talk page.

Mr. Y K Muddukrishna is an ex-government administrator and a well-known singer. His contribution to the light music field is enormous.

Prashanthudupa We don't have "profiles" here, we have articles. If you want to write a profile, that's what social media is for. Your draft is completely unsourced and reads as a resume. A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about the person, showing how they meet the definition of a notable person. It isn't for merely documenting someone's professional qualifications and activities. Please see Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 09:26, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
