I created a page Comfort Page and it got deleted, but it can’t be deleted, it’s for people to talk about things, you can’t delete it. You’re not supposed to be doing anything with it! Leave it alone! Don’t even view it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by CheatCodes4ever (talk • contribs) 02:52, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Longhair and CheatCodes4ever: I am not an admin, so I can't see what was in there. Howewer, since you state above it’s for people to talk about things[...] I am concerned that you haven't understood Wikipedia's goals. Wikipedia is a collaborative project to create an Encyclopedia. Of course discussion is needed, but only on topics that cover Wikipedia. See WP:NOT for more info on what Wikipedia is not. Victor Schmidt mobil (talk) 06:12, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It was a page inviting others into a discussion, which as you know is outside the goals of Wikipedia. -- Longhair\talk 06:15, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to create something like a talk page since I don’t go on talk to answer things. I wanted to talk about things. I could use my original page, but it’s not just for me. I want it to be a page for everybody. I do understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, this is something that is viewed by users who want to talk about things so they can get answered if they don’t go on talk.User:CheatCodes4ever, 05:39, 10 November 2019

07:53:26, 9 November 2019 review of draft by TobyBK

[edit]


I am new to wiki and I just wanted to list a new museum but the link I used to cite from yahoo news was rejected so I used another link which was already approved on the Patpong page. Is there anything else I should do to get my submission through? Many thanks

TobyBK (talk) 07:53, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TobyBK. Wikipedia covers topics that have attracted significant attention from the world at large and over a period of time. It is unlikely that a museum which opened last month would be able to demonstrate such coverage. Creating a new article is one of the most difficult, frustrating, and time consuming tasks a new editor can attempt. You will find it easier if you spend a while editing existing articles to gain familiarity with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you aren't sure where to start, see Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:42, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

My article Submission declined on 6 November 2019 

How to solve this issue..!!

Please give me guidance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChilakamarthiPrabhakar (talk • contribs) 11:13, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@NCHANGNDE: - the draft was rejected as not being notable. It had a complete lack of reliable, secondary, sources so was automatically unable to show notability
For it to be notable it would need good sources that showed the subject met at least one of the conditions at musician notability. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:58, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I created a page for martial artist Rika Ishige here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rika_Ishige

I first want to say thanks for taking the time to look it over.

But I have a few questions:

1. I never said she was a mixed martial artist, I said she was a martial artist.

2. She already has a Thai version of her page here: https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/ริกะ_อิชิเกะ

So why can't I create an English version?

Looking forward to your reply.

Best,

John


Thanks for your help.

@JohnWolcott: - hi there. I'm not a specialist in MMA notability, but it's worth reading the specific comment made by your reviewer. They indicated:
"Please read the guidelines at the link below and show how Ishige meets the requirements - 3 fights in a top tier MMA competition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mixed_martial_arts/MMA_notability#Fighters "

Different wikipedias use different rules for can qualify as an article, so the existence in one wikipedia doesn't necessarily mean they warrant an article in, say, english wikipedia. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:02, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
