- The article at Pyarge Aagbittaite was not created via AFC, but rather just created as a page. The current version of the article would not necessarily be accepted at AFC either. A412 (Talk • C) 03:56, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
This article has been rejected in the review stating that it lacks reliable references. Can someone be more specific in what lines need to have citations and what is wrong with existing references?

Hi, is somebody in here able to help me with the review of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vc-joe/High-Tech_Gründerfonds ? It's the third time it was rejected, but some apparently not-so-smart-person always rolls it back to an old state where a rejection might be correct and never reviews the actual latest version which definitely has ENOUGH sources and is written from a NEUTRAL standpoint :-( i am giving up here. :( (especially since these sources are from the freaking government)--79.252.221.169 (talk) 09:50, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I was told that this article does not qualify because I used press releases as references. However, most of what was in the press releases was taken from LinkedIn statistics such as the date it was created, the owner, and the number of members. I included press releases for added info but I could easily take them out. Now I was also told that LinkedIn is not considered a source which i don't quite understand. In the Facebook page, there are statistics taken directly from the site as well. You could check my sources if you'd like. K8teng (talk) 12:13, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
- On Wikipedia, LinkedIn and Facebook are almost never considered reliable sources. See WP:VRS for more info. Pol430 talk to me 16:09, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello,
The Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce (GPCC) is trying to upload an informational page about itself. The first submission was denied because it did not provide reliable resources. The only sources we used were the GPCC website and a bicentennial history that we hired an outside firm to conduct and write in 2000. Other from that, we did not take our sources from anywhere else. Is there something else that we can do to have our page approved?
Thank you,

- Wikipedia does not encourage people to upload articles about themselves, or their organizations, as it represents a conflict of interest. Also, Wikipedia requires that its articles only be about notable subjects. It must be remembered this is an encyclopedia not a social network or directory site. You can find further explanation at WP:ENC and WP:VRS. I'm sorry, but it does not appear that your submission is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Pol430 talk to me 20:55, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
- Are there any alternate solutions/suggestions for a successful upload of an article? In terms of notability, after research there are several other "X" Chamber of Commerce pages currently uploaded to Wikipedia that are very similar to the submitted article. Greaterphilachamber (talk) 13:56, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- The presence of other similar articles in Wikipedia is not relevant to the creation of this article, and does not mean that the subject of your submission is notable. It may mean that the subjects of the other articles are not notable, but that is a matter to be discussed at WP:AFD. If the subject of a submission does not meet the notability guidelines, there should not be an article on that subject. Pol430 talk to me 22:11, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Review of Giulio Maria Pasinetti- Why is this considered not notable?
[edit]I am writing to further understand why my submission,Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Giulio Maria Pasinetti, is being rejected due to the references not proving that he is notable. I truly feel that this person deserves a bio as he has made immense contributions to the scientific community and it would be beneficial to highlight his research for others interested in this field. He has around 200 manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals with original scientific findings, and has received numerous awards reflecting his contributions and productivity in his field. I am unsure if the rejection is due to the general notability of the subject or if it is a matter of choosing the wrong references. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Not sure I'm sorry but I have not idea what you have just said; apparently, neither does Google translate... You may wish to try and find a version of Wikipedia in your own language by visiting http://www.wikipedia.org/ Pol430 talk to me 20:27, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
- I know this language, gibberish. With some English, some Malay or Indo, and a hint of Tagalog. Austronesian for sure, but generally gibberish. :- ) DCS 04:10, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting, my first thoughts were an African dialect but at least one word I searched on Google Translate came up as Polish... Pol430 talk to me 20:51, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
- Crap, you're probably right - South Africa(vc-cpt-41-5-227-150.umts.vodacom.co.za). I don't know ANY African languages. :-( Interesting that it has some similarities to the others. Now I have research to do :- ) DCS 21:18, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

I have been trying to create this article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Inverlink and I have cited four reputable sources including Businessweek and the company's website. Despite this fact, my editor says "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources". What, specifically, must I fix for this article to be accepted?
Elfinanciero222Elfinanciero222 (talk) 22:07, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
- The problem with the four sources is that two of them are either dead (or just don't work on my computer for some reason, one is Inverlink itself (therefore primary) and the BusinessWeek reference, although entirely reliable, is more of a directory listing than an actual source about the company. For those reasons, none of the sources fulfill these criteria. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 23:49, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
