I have added significant independent sources. I am not sure where I am going wrong with the submission. Please explain further with more details on how to make it better. Acokinos1 (talk) 14:31, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Acokinos1 Hi Good day. I have reviewed your article; however, at this stage the subject doesnt not show he meets the notability requirements and the source provided are primary ( which means not independent). I have left you some comment and links on the draft page, pls visit and read them. Do pop by if you need further assistance. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 06:20, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I have created my first draft and it has been declined. Can you help me to understand what is wrong and what should I change so that I can fix it and try to submit it again? thanks

Startupfollower01 Greetings to you and thank you for the question above. Please see below and click on blue highlighted texts for they will lead you to another page where info will be presented in details of the topics:

The reviewer did leave you a message where you could find it on top of the Draft:IGenius in the grey box where it stated the article read like a advertisement where by the content written in a manner with inclination of promoting or soliciting the company's services. Wikipedia a an encyclopedia, for such content should be written in neutral point of view and this draft copy need to be rewritten.
Content in Wikipedia need to back up and with significant coverage by independent, reliable source (secondary sources). Sources from newspaper and publications "directly" talk about the subject in "depth" but not mere passing mention where the claims could be verified would be ideal for such it could establish the notability requirements of the subject - please see Wikipedia ogranisation notability requirements. The sources provided in the draft article are WP:PRIMARY sources where either they are listing or interview pieces, for such they are not suitable.
IGenius is a startup organisation where it has been in operation for only two years. In most cases, company as such would difficult to find quality sources which meet the requirements of as needed by Wikipedia; however, if you could locate them, then pls provide the inline citation and resubmit the draft.

I believe I have answered your question, if not do check out WP:GOLDENRULE for everything else which I have missed..

Thank you and have a good day. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 13:08, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i have added certain and true source after rejecting article (Laya Abbasmirzaei) such as news, imdb, festival, image , books, video...,,and resubmitted it again,regretfully I am waiting for manyyyyyy days ago for a volunteer to review it !! Why ?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fighting12 (talk • contribs) 02:54, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fighting12 Hi good day. Please be patient. Do note that the patllores/reviewers for new page patrol (NPP) and articles for creation (AfC) are all volunteers and we have a backlog of 5K pages waiting to be reviewed to date, which is a drastic reduction as compared to six months ago where we faced a backlog of 13K. For NPP the backlog currently is 3 months and AfC is 4 weeks. There is no first come first serve basics on reviewing process, since the we the reviewers are volunteers, each would pick and choose the articles of the subjects that they are comfortable/familiar with. For example, anything is highly technical with 3/4 of the page fills with high level of maths functions/proofs/, I would not consider to review them for I would need to go back to university to take a few said subjects just to understand the content, let alone review them.

By the way, your Draft:Laya Abbasmirzaei page has been reviewed by Bradv and the draft has been declined. All three reviewers had left you some comments and there are three messages on the "grey panels" on top of the draft page, letting you know what need are required of you. Do click on the links (blue highlighted texts) for further details of the topics. Please note that IMBD, Google images, Utube videos, interview pieces, home pages and etc are all primary sources and the cant not be used to satisfy the Wikipedia requirements for only independent, reliable sources (secondary source) could be deem suitable. I have done up a set of tables on different types of sources, outlining the definitions and examples where you could find them at the 'source' section under the message titled '16:46:49, 28 May 2018 review of submission by Soniaang' - see here for your perusal. In additional please visit Help:Referencing for beginners so you could rework on the citing method of the page. Lastly, a page is accepted by Wikipedia if the subject is notable - pls see the notability requirements for WP:FILMMAKER and WP:NACTOR. In short, this is the requirements Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything. If the subject is not notable, no amount of editing would merit the article in Wikipedia mainspace.
