Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Muneeb Faiq

I have submitted an article for review. The title is Muneeb Faiq. It is a biographical sketch of a renowned personality. I am not able to trace the proceedings. Please help... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.139.45.243 (talk) 07:28, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was declined on July 12. The given sources were either primary sources such as Faiq's own writings, or unreliable sources such as a wiki talk page. Such sources cannot establish that Faiq is notable enough for an encyclopedia article; we'll need reliable third-party sources such as newspaper articles about him or peer-reviewed scholarly papers (written by others, not by Faiq!) that discuss his work in some detail. You were notified of this result at User talk:14.139.45.242, the talk page of the IP address you had used to submit the draft. Huon (talk) 10:56, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Openmatics

Good morning,

could you please give me a more detailed explanation for the article rejection. I would of course like to improve it so it could be published, but the comments I received are twice the same and don't really help me much with the improvement process.

I appreciate any help or specific feedback you may offer.

Thank you for your time and help,

P.S. - Also the article was in the final document twice...which also spoiled the content menu. Why does that happen?

Firstly, your username may not be acceptable - a Wikipedia user account is for one person and implying you edit on behalf of a company will cause problems up to, and including, you being blocked from editing. Click here to see how to change your username to something more appropriate.

Secondly, the principal problem I see with the article is that, while there is coverage from news in the telematics industry, and it looks like Openmatics might be notable, the article doesn't really mention much of the content that is in those sources and comes across more like a bland product description. Have a look at the information in the sources, and try and write the article around that. For example, there's a good quote from Motor Magazine which states, regarding Openmatics, "At times, I wonder whether we have made things more difficult and complex than they need to be, and are reluctant to change our ways." That's a pretty different point of view to what the article currently says. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 08:40, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Otto Grunbaum

Hi ,

is it possible to create a page on Otto Grunbaum and or the history of the standard-grunbaum furniture company.Normally when researching on wikipedia this sort of information is normally available however not in this case.

Have tried several other lines of enquiries to see how the company was built, the history of its originators such as :-companies that have ceased trading ,mergers etc but am not having much luck either on wikipedia or on the net.

kind regards,
