Please decline instead of reject because it will be harder to resubmit and wikipedia's policy is only reject is the topic is unacceptable on wikipedia and decline when edits still have to be made. Andrew nyr (talk) 05:14, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

05:23:26, 8 July 2019 review of draft by PG77kanpur

[edit]


hello, I have been working on the article "Abhay Karandikar". I had done my research prior to creating the article and found no such Wikipedia articles with the same name. My article also has a considerable amount of references from credible sources. Yet, my article was declined from being published. Can I know the underlying reasons that lead to the rejection of my article despite being backed up by credible references? PG77kanpur (talk) 05:23, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PG77kanpur. The draft has failed to convince the reviewers that the subject is notable (suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia).
If you believe you can prove that the subject meets one or more of the inclusion criteria, then rewrite the lead to make that obvious. Being on leave from IIT Bombay does not make him notable. Having been a dean or institute chair there does not make him notable. Being the chairman of TSDSI does not make him notable. Holding patents does not make him notable. Being a consultant on BharatNet does not make him notable, and Wikipedia, being user-generated, is not a reliable source. It should not be cited as a reference, nor should medium.com and wiki.mozilla.org, which are not reliable.
For examples of well-written leads, see biographies of academics in WP:FA. Vannevar Bush, for example "was an American engineer, inventor and science administrator, who during World War II headed the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), through which almost all wartime military R&D was carried out, including important developments in radar and the initiation and early administration of the Manhattan Project. He emphasized the importance of scientific research to national security and economic well-being, and was chiefly responsible for the movement that led to the creation of the National Science Foundation." --Worldbruce (talk) 13:50, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 06:47:20, 8 July 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Coloradoweatherdude

[edit]


I think it's important to have an article that talks about the Cheyenne WY fire department. I know Cheyenne is a small city but it would be nice to have an entry about it's fire service. Maybe an editor with more experience on Wikipedia would consider stepping up and getting an article created. Thank-you.

[edit]

Why was the article declined? Hongkongfoodlover123 (talk) 08:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hongkongfoodlover123. As the reviewer commented, the draft fails WP:NCOMPANY. Most businesses are not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). See WP:BFAQ#COMPANY for more information. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:57, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

09:56:14, 8 July 2019 review of submission by Newyorkupdate

[edit]

Hello, I've been trying to publish my post for a month now - still not quite sure why it gets declined every time. Could you help me? What information do I need? Do I need more references?

Thanks in advance. Newyorkupdate (talk) 09:56, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Newyorkupdate. Searching Google Books and Google News turns up a few photos credited to Tombor, but no writings about Tombor. So you're probably wasting your time trying to publish an encyclopedia article about him.
Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of their subject. The draft cites none. Pretty much every statement in a biography of a living person should have an inline citation that supports it. There are some external links in the body of the draft (where they are not allowed). Perhaps you meant for them to be references. You could reformat them according to Referencing for beginners, but the ones I examined either don't mention Tombor, or make only passing mention of him. They are not significant coverage, so they do not help demonstrate notability (suitability for inclusion in Wikipedia). --Worldbruce (talk) 14:18, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

10:46:08, 8 July 2019 review of draft by Jasonuptempo

[edit]


Need help to get my submission accepted. This is my first attempt at creating a Wikipedia article and I'm really stuck now on how to improve or if i can actually improve at this stage to make it get accepted. I tried to make it better prior to this and it's been declined again so I'm in need of assistance.

Thanks!

Jasonuptempo (talk) 10:46, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jasonuptempo. It probably isn't possible to improve the draft to the point where it would be acceptable. What is needed is significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources that are independent of Estasia. The cited sources are largely announcements based on press releases from Estasia (so not independent), or are brief mentions. Examples of signficant coverage of a DJ (in this case Clive Campbell a.k.a. DJ Kool Herc) would be:
  • Toop, David (2000). Rap Attack 3: African Rap to Global Hip Hop. Serpent's Tail. pp. 17–19, 60–76. ISBN 978-1-85242-627-9.
  • Ogg, Alex; Upshal, David (1999). The Hip Hop Years: A History of Rap. Channel 4 Books. pp. 13–18. ISBN 978-0-7522-1780-2.
  • Ruog, Louise (February 24, 2008). "Music might save Bronx homes". Los Angeles Times.

11:13:02, 8 July 2019 review of submission by 185.179.3.130

[edit]


I'm very suprised, that my article was rejected as not sufficiently notable. Article starts to describe the first post-quantum blockchain and it is something new in the blockchain area. Why is it less notable than any other article about blockchians that wikipedia contain? For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filecoin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verge_(cryptocurrency) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEO_(cryptocurrency) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_(payment_network) ... and many others

Another question is that submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. What pillars does this submission contadict? I can't see anyone.

11:51:37, 8 July 2019 review of submission by Sindysparkles

[edit]

Hi, I have amended the references. Could the article please be reviewed once more? Many thanks. Sindysparkles (talk) 11:51, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sindysparkles: - hi there. The same issue is still there. As a biography, Wikipedia requires sources to be inline (that means attached to specific facts - the little blue numbers you see in other articles). Currently your sources are general, at the bottom, applying to the whole article. Help:Referencing for beginners gives 3 methods (depending on how you're editing) to make inline sources.

12:34:45, 8 July 2019 review of submission by Sindysparkles

[edit]

Hi there, I have re-submitted the references this time in-line. Would you advise to remove some of the exhibitions since these are collected from the artist's website? I don't want it to be all from one website. Many thanks! Sindysparkles (talk) 12:34, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sindysparkles: - sorry, for uncontroversial things like exhibition dates (people rarely make them up), just ensuring that there's a link to the website would suffice. In any case 1 ref for the entire set would be sufficient unless someone started challenging it.
However, I would definitely still advise removing some - even in the past it reads as somewhat promotional and, in any case, obviously takes up loads of room. You could tidy them up into a few lines of prose "in Summer 2018, he showcased X at locations Y & X" (don't include all of them even in prose form) Nosebagbear (talk) 18:02, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

20:22:33, 8 July 2019 review of submission by Aballenger8

[edit]

I think you should re-review my page because I made it better and I think it would be really cool for me to have a Wikipedia page because in order to get your own Wikipedia page you have to be famous in some sort of way and I don't think I'm gonna be famous anytime soon. but in case I become famous i will remove it so that other people can make me one. thank you for your time, and please think about my request.

Aballenger8 (talk) 20:22, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Can you please give me another chance to fix it and prove you all wrong. I made it better than it already was. I just really want a Wikipedia article because my friend has one and I think its really cool. I would really like to have one. When I'm older I can come back on here and see what i said and what other people said on it. Thank you for your time and i hope you change your mind-

Ana's little sister (i hope to be like her someday...)

Aballenger8 (talk) 20:32, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aballenger8: Unfortunately, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a social networking site. It is limited to including articles about people, places, or things that are "notable", which means that there are already reliable sources such as books or newspapers that are talking about them. If your friend has a Wikipedia article, it either means that they are notable, or it just means that no one has gotten around to deleting it yet. --Ahecht (TALK
