I've requested assistance because this article is simulor to other Dj articles on Wikipedia TonyPizarro (talk) 14:03, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- @TonyPizarro: Hello, Tony. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The best sources of information as to why your submission was declined will be the reviewers who looked at it. You can find their names and Talk page links in the "decline boxes" near the top of your submission. But I did take a quick look at it myself and found that you've provided no evidence that the subject has achieved encyclopedic notability. Blogs, the subject's own website and things written by the subject do not provide evidence of notability and you would do better by providing links to mainstream publications (e.g., the Los Angeles Times or Billboard) that have discussed the subject in depth. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 14:53, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

- @TonyPizarro: I second everything NewYorkActuary wrote. It is natural to learn by and reason from example, but it's safer to reason from official policies and guidelines. The essay "Other stuff exists" may make it clear why. Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high-quality and low-quality content. The argument that articles exist that don't meet the policies and guidelines, so more such articles should be created, is not one that will convince any experienced editors. If you use an example, be sure to use one from the best content Wikipedia has, such as Sasha (Welsh DJ) or DJ AM. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:19, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

[edit]
Hi there,
I currently am writing a WIKI page for ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI). It appears that in order for the FPI page to be created I need to provide additional sources that are not from the source of the idea (ESPN). Are you looking for other views of FPI, comments/criticisms of FPI, or something else? I want to provide as much detail as I can, but there is not much information on the definition of FPI that is outside of ESPN. I am happy to provide any coverage needed, just need a little clarity.
Thanks so much! EvanEboyd42 (talk) 15:06, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Eboyd42: Hello, Evan. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The best source of information as to why your submission was declined will be the person who reviewed it. I see that you've already reached out to the most recent reviewer and I trust you'll get a response from them soon. In the meantime, you've got the right idea when you suggest "looking for other views of FPI" and "comments/criticisms of FPI". If there is indeed not much discussion of the index by anyone other than its creator, then it is unlikely to merit a stand-alone article. Conceivably, however, some of your material might find a home in the article on ESPN. If you wish to pursue that approach, you can start by opening up a discussion at Talk:ESPN. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 15:27, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

- @Nuno Kincaid: Hello, Nuno. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. I see that you've already reached out to one of the reviewers and I'm sure you'll get a response from them soon.

- @ML8: Hello, ML. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. I'm not sure what to add to the guidance that you've reproduced here. If you have never before created an article on Wikipedia, then you really should read WP:Your first article. And you probably want to work through our WP:Tutorial to learn the basic techniques that are used to craft an article. After that, when you feel you're ready to go, return to the page that you already found and click the link to the Article Wizard. Happy editing! NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:36, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- I followed your advice, but it does not go on. Every time I click on red writing (pages do not exist), it returns to the page I dropped over. I don' t know how to do. ML8 (talk) 22:55, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- @ML8: Hello again, ML. Sorry to see you're having problems. But I'm very puzzled as to what's going on here. I checked your contribution history and found that you have succeeded in creating both a sandbox page (in your User space), as well as a Draft. You've already submitted the draft for review (and had it declined). And the User space sandbox has a button that you can click when you are ready to submit it for review. Why don't you simply start editing one of those two pages to add the new content? NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:16, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, tell me something, but with Wikipedia:New user landing page how do I create a page? Wikipedia:New user landing page always appears when I want to create a page. ML8 (talk) 11:15, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- @ML8: New users are no longer allowed to create pages directly in article space. Using the article wizard, you may create drafts, which will be published to article space if they are acceptable. Or you may gain experience by improving existing articles. When your account has been open a certain number of days and you have made a certain number of edits (the exact number depends on circumstances, see WP:ACTRIAL), you will be able to create articles. If, however, you create articles that are unacceptable, they are likely to be deleted, and if you do so persistently you might lose your editing privileges. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:45, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi, thank you so much for find article wizard for create drafts, but if I want published from a drafts to article in my self what can I do? --ML8 (talk) 21:53, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello! Steven Skyler used to have a Wiki page, until his former manager deleted it out of spite. I'm working with him, this is his account, to try and get one back up and running. As far as I can tell, I have WAY more in the way of sourcing and citations than his previous page had, so, I'm no sure what else needs to be added/done in way of proving he should have another page, or, if that isn't an option, getting his old page reinstated.
SPARNOLD (talk) 20:18, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- @SPARNOLD: Hello, Sparnold. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. It would be very unusual for a single person to delete an existing article, whether "out of spite" or for some other reason. Could you provide more detail on that (it will be relevant if you truly want to get the old page restored). As for the new version, the best sources of information as to why the submission was declined will be the reviewers who looked at it. You'll find their names and Talk page links in the "decline boxes" near the top of your submission. I hope this response was helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:28, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi SPARNOLD The previous article about Skyler was deleted following the discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/Steven Skyler, it was not done by a single editor acting on a whim (or spite). Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 21:02, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

THEN TELL US WHY YOU ARE REQUESTING ASSISTANCE BELOW THIS LINE. Take as many lines as you need. -->}}
As a former association publishing executive and much-read author of eight trade books and hundreds of other pieces, mainly on writing and expressiveness, I submitted a brief biography for an entry on myself. It was declined owing to lack of evidence of notability. What kind of evidence would be persuasive? Should I include a bibliography of my major works? Baronplotn (talk) 23:08, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Baronplotn (talk) 23:08, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, Baronplotn. Firstly, WP:Autobiographies are extremely frowned upon on Wikipedia. Please read this attached guideline for more information. Secondly, you need reliable, secondary sources. You provided a link to a Google search (not a source), your website (not secondary) and Wikitionary and English Wikipedia links, which are not proper sources, per WP:USERGEN. Please fix these issues before resubmitting for review. JTP (talk • contribs) 01:13, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

I am seeking assistance as the page I created is being rejected- I don’t understand why as I’ve attached numerous references, the article is not written in promotional and the subject has notability.
Please let me know what can I do to have this article approved.
Thank you!

- @TheGalaxyMan: Hello, GalaxyMan. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. I see that you've already gotten this question answered at our Teahouse and by one of the two administrators who deleted the main-space version of the article. Both responders gave you good advice. If we can be of any further assistance, please let us know. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
