Review of User:Almaguernaranjo/sandbox

Hi! How can I add to an already existing subject the translation to other language?

Wikipedia rejected mi submission because the subject already exist, but it exist in English language but not in Spanish. My submission is in Spanish.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Elizabeth Philpot

Thanks in advance.Almaguernaranjo (talk) 01:46, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're aware this is the English Wikipedia, right? You may want to try the Spanish Wikipedia if you intend to write in Spanish. Huon (talk) 01:57, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Draft:Paul Tucker

Hello: I am interested in learning more about why my submission was rejected. Thank youEidsey (talk) 06:11, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at your submission about Paul Tucker, described as "Internationally recognized as the world’s foremost authority on Claude Monet", which in turn was cited to the Boston Globe and I have no idea either. The decline reason of "This article is not suitable for Wikipedia" is completely false. It needs work to check all the references to confirm that Tucker meets our notability guidelines for people, so I have resubmitted it for you.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Your submission name here

So I made a topic: Articles for creation: Cosmobilities Network on a global research network of social scienists. I made references to our homepage, our collaborating research groups, the topics (on wiki) covered by the network, and 4 publications from major global/European publishers that have been made within the network.

The post was declined because of lack of notability, so I just wanted to ask: What more can I add to make it acceptable.

Have you read WP:COI? How about WP:ORG? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:23, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Demiurge, have you read WP:OMGWTFBBQ? Aslakkj, you will need to find coverage in books, magazines or newspapers that talk substantially about the company and why it is important. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 05:45, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've read that. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 09:03, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Draft:Biodeterioration

I recently proposed an entry entitled "Biodeterioration" This was started with the internationally accepted definition and contrasted with the definition for "biodegradation". Although Wikipedia has several articles on specific instances of biodeterioration there is no defining article. The response refused my proposal and included the comment that biodeterioration is just a synonym for biodegradation. My initial proposal was supported by two major authority references.

Mention this specific usage in the existing article about the topic, using the two references. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:21, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Diamond Of Dreams

Hi,

I have been trying to add an article about an LP by Mike Heron, who is certainly notable as being a member of the Incredible String Band, a very successful sixties band who appeared at Woodstock, and had loads of albums out.

So I don't understand why it was rejected. I referenced the Incredible String Band in the article.

EGriffiths Egriffiths (talk) 15:44, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For there to be a separate article about the LP, the LP itself needs to be notable by the standards you have been given links to, not just the musician involved. (It's also not clear whether the musician involved is notable in and of himself either?) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:17, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Draft:Brian Kennedy (Businessman)

Hi, Im new to Wikipedia.

I created a user called Brian George Kennedy and then proceeded to create a page about him.. I think I have don't this wrong and I should have created an article about this person and his charity work etc... which I have now done......

but I think I have 2 copies now and the Brian George Kennedy needs removing and the article being made live under the user.

The end result is when someone wishes to research information on Brian Kennedy (Businessman) they will find the Wikipedia article and be able to research the encyclopedia on information about him, his career and charity work.

please advise

Regards

Darran.

@Brian George Kennedy:

Declined At your request, I've nominated your promotional user page for speedy deletion. I've also declined your draft as it fails WP:RS, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:GNG. Finally, autobiographies are not allowed on Wikipedia. I recommend you try using the reward board so a 3rd party editor can fix your draft for acceptance. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:34, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The OP's message (above) says that he is not Brian Kennedy, so some of that advice may not be correct. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:15, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note for Darran - if you are not Brian Kennedy, then your username is inappropriate, and you should seek to have it changed at WP:CHU/S. "Brian Kennedy (businessman)" is not appropriate either. The only person with a username "Brian Kennedy" should be Brian Kennedy himself. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 09:02, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
