Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Hell's Kitty

I submitted the article “Hell’s Kitty” in regards to a web-series I produce, but it got rejected because “references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability.” I put a lot of references in the article so I’m not sure what this means. Any input would help.

Thanks! Foxility Foxility (talk) 01:46, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:Notability and WP:Conflict of interest (you shouldn't be writing about a subject you're involved with). —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 03:56, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also read Wikipedia:Notability (web) as this is the Specific Notability guideline that will need to be satisfied. Hasteur (talk) 03:58, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. When you went back and translated the submission you accidentally removed the previous decline banner. I restored it for you. Because you are here I got the impression that you want it to be reviewed. I have submitted the page on your behalf for review. At this time it does not appear to be ready for acceptance, but I will let others review it. Your submission will be reviewed in the order in which the request for review was recieved. You should be notified when your submission has been reviewed and if it is accepted or declined. Hasteur (talk) 03:55, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I am still confused about what I need to do to my submission to improve its chance of being accepted. This is my first time using WIKI and it is a bit daunting..can someone give me an example of how to correct the problem…maybe by giving me an example of a similar bio LaurenHefferon (talk) 11:39, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few dozen Wikipedia Good Articles of journalists at Wikipedia:Good articles/Social sciences and society#Journalism and newspapers, and a few hundred Wikipedia Good Articles of "Actors, models, performers and celebrities" at Wikipedia:Good articles/Media and drama#Actors, models, performers and celebrities. Some of these might be suitable examples to see what a biography of a creative person should contain. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 10:06, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Moshe Bar Zvi

Just want to clarify that I cannot upload a photo until the article is accepted. This is my understanding from what all the references I have read so far.

Photographs which are explicitly WP:Public Domain, WP:Creative Commons, etc. can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons at any point in time. Photos which are submitted as WP:Fair use (such as low-res example photos of copyright movie posters, album covers, company logos, irreplaceable photos of the deceased, etc) can only be uploaded after an article exists.

If you own a photo of Zvi that you yourself took and are releasing under WP:Creative Commons, or where the copyright holder explicitly releases it under WP:Creative Commons via an WP:OTRS declaration, those can be uploaded to WP:Wikimedia Commons at any point.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/MobiCore

Hi there,

I saw that the issue seems not notable, but I've read the guidelines and I don't see what's wrong. I added citations to interesting points and I think this subject is interesting enough for techies to read.

It's a new OS by one of the world's leading security expert corporations, which by the way I am not a member of. I'm not trying to help them out, I've simply done my own research which I'd like people to be able to read.

Reference 1 is a download page to technical spec sheets and is, in itself, unusable as a reference (though the spec sheets themselves could be cited). Reference 2 is just the code for the OS, and thus is the subject itself; we do not cite the subject itself as they frequently have an incentive to lie by omission. Reference 3 is a press release, and has the same issues as reference 2. Please read the linked page. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 21:35, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
