The profile I'm trying to create a notable person in our country. He stayed low profile in the fight for democratic transition. That's why there are not many news about him. Now wiki is saying he is not a notable person and his page could not be created. If we don't record his story, that will be the lost for the history as well.
please help me create his page. Zar chi oo (talk) 04:40, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- I have moved the draft to Draft:Myo Myint Nyein. Wikipedia has no article on anyone else with that name, so the "(Editor_and_writer)" in the title is is superfluous. My own, uninformed, opinion is that he may well be notable; but the draft needs improvement. I suggest you remove the references to Wikipedia (which does not regard itself as a reliable source, as this would lead to circularity). You should also start the article by clearly stating what he is notable for. It would help if you broke the first long paragraph up into shorter paragraphs. Maproom (talk) 21:45, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Hi there, thank you very much for the quick feedback for the draft. I have found many sources that are written in German - is it possible to use these ones? Thank you for your help Edward EdwGross (talk) 12:48, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- Sources in German are certainly acceptable – though in English Wikipedia, sources in English are preferred if available. Maproom (talk) 21:49, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

[edit]
I'm looking for guidance of the formatting of our references. Please can you take a look at the way the links and sources are set-up and please can you provide some feedback? Or a link to best practices?
Thanks!
