Hello, Boss-Cellular. You cannot deep-link to images on the internet. You have to upload them onto Wikipedia first. If they have already been published on the internet, you must provide written documentation to Wikipedia that the copyright holder has released them under a free license. The only company images that can uploaded under "fair use", i.e. without a free license, are company logos and they can only appear in an article not a draft. Having said that, this draft is nothing but a blatant advertisement for Boss Cellular (a non-notable one-year old company) and its products and is referenced solely to press releases and press release based material. It will never be accepted. I suggest you abandon the attempt. Your username is also not compliant with Wikipedia policy which has now been explained on your talk page along with our terms of use which require full disclosure for paid editing.

Hello there! Responding to what I believe you've asked, we need for you to show us there is significant coverage about the subject of the article, in sources that are both reliable and independent. If that is possible, we'd be happy to perform another reviewal once you resumit. Regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 21:35, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I enjoy writing and creating submissions for Wikipedia, however my last submission for "Emmanual 'Manny' Mijares" keeps constantly getting declined and I can not understand why. The message I get is that the subject does not meet the notability guidelines, but clearly he does. He produced several hits which made it to the Billboard charts, as cited. I would think anyone having anything to do with a song listed in the Billboard charts is worthy of a listing in an encyclopedia. Perhaps the editors are not aware that "Billboard Magazine" is the GLOBAL music industry standard for record sales and radio play. Regardless, I need someone to look over the draft and let me know specifically why it is getting declined... Regards, MacMason MacMason (talk) 16:57, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

First, I am not a WP:MUSIC expert. Please will someone who has a good understanding of this run a ruler over this draft,
Apart from that I can se what I believe may be hindering acceptance, and have left what I hope is a helpful comment on the draft. Fiddle Faddle 17:02, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are you a native speaker and writer of French? If so there should be no difficulty at the French Wikipedia. We cannot have non English language articles or drafts here. Fiddle Faddle 20:00, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

21:24:44, 23 July 2015 review of submission by Garth Kirkham

[edit]

Draft submission was declined due to inadequate, verifiable sources. I do not know how to do that, other than the 42 I already included in the article submission. Most of the references have been published in various trade magazines or were talks given at conferences. I have already included most of the papers and talks he has published. I don't know what I need to do now to provide other reliable, verifiable references for a living person. Birth certificate numbers, incorporation number, registration numbers for the various regulatory bodies he belongs to, ??? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.

Hello there. From what I've gathered, he's not notable either under WP:PROF or WP:GNG. He hasn't been cited at all in the literature, nor has he held any significant positions nor won any major awards. As for coverage, there is very little of it for him to be considered notable. Thank you, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 21:32, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Garth Kirkham: Autobiographical attempts are rather a two edged sword. The question to ask yourself is "Why do I want a Wikipedia article about me?" Ideally this should be asked before putting fingers to keyboard because one can find the entire process of having one's life, warts an' all, presented for public view quite alarming and intrusive. Please read WP:ACADEME to understand why Wikipedia is useless in establishing a reputation. Your best route, assuming you are the eponymous gentleman, is to ask that this draft be deleted and get on with being a success in your career. Wikipedia ought to be irrelevant to you.

[edit]

I need to know what changes are needed in order to have the article submitted.

From the declined submission I understand that probably I need to add more citations, Is this the problem or something else? Lucafbr (talk) 22:32, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I have cited to articles, press releases, and government documents for the article. I would like to know which sentence(s) specifically has caused the article to be declined. Please advise. Thank you. 209.58.197.90 (talk) 23:13, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What draft is this about? Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:33, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
