Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/liguri tribe

I am an already registered with IP Rev. Yousif William Idris, M.C.C.J. I would be grateful if you could add this contribution of mine on the Liguri tribe to your encyclopedia for public use. May the Lord bless you all. Sicerely, Rev. Yousif William — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.209.81.136 (talk) 07:55, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This submission will be added in due time, if it passes the criteria for inclusion: notability and the golden rule. As the queue is currently 330 submissions long, this may take a while to be reviewed. A412 (Talk • C) 14:36, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your article will benefit from an introduction, explaining who, what and where the Liguri are (I'm guessing Sudan?). You list some sources for your information - are these published books? Or university papers? Do they have a ISBN number? Who is Mohammed Kunda Andeli Makaj? Sionk (talk) 14:36, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Kate Nelson

My review said I need:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

How would I cite someone as being an expert in a field? What references would be ok to use? The person has written over 50 articles on the subject for national publications, she has written two books, and she speaks at conferences on the topic. I have stated those in the submission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gsschweppe (talk • contribs) 13:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Subjects need to be 'notable' for inclusion in Wikipedia. See WP:GNG for guidance about how we judge whether someone is sufficiently important. Usually this will require more than one example of in-depth, independent coverage by a trustworthy news source. WP:AUTHOR gives you alternative route for proving 'notability', for example if one of her books has received significant critical attention (multiple reviews etc). If someone (or their work) has not been noticed by the media they are probably not important. Sionk (talk) 14:23, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rocky Newton-Bass Player (UK)

Please can you assist. I am trying to submit a legitimate piece on UK Bass Player Rocky Newton, but despite including references it keeps getting refused by your administrator-please can you assist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitro Nige (talk • contribs) 16:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First, as a procedural note, AFC is not run by administrators. Anyways, the article, to be accepted, needs to have reliable sources. At the time it was declined, the only source was Wikipedia, and another non-specific one from "xufo.co.uk" which could not be verified. If you could clarify that URL, it would help reviewers greatly. Even with the added reference, general consensus is that multiple references are required to prove notability. A412 (Talk • C) 23:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lyonnais (band)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lyonnais (band) Creative Loafing's Best of Atlanta 2009-2011 and Pitchfork's Best of 2011 should meet notability requirements. Is there information that needs to be removed or that isn't verifiable? (Jookie212 (talk) 23:41, 4 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Declined The references listed do not lend enough significant coverage of the band to pass the WP:GNG threshold. It also unclear that the band meets WP:MUSICBIO. Pol430 talk to me 11:21, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
