03:20:59, 11 April 2020 review of submission by Joseph Carrollane

[edit]


Hi David. I'm unsure why you declined this Wikipedia page. This page is perfectly within the guidelines of what was required. Also, pages like this ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloob ) are much less informative and informal, so why are pages like that allowed on when my submission clearly has encyclopaedic information on it?

Joseph Carrollane (talk) 03:20, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging David.moreno72, as the questioned is addressed to them. The current problem with your article is that it's purpose is promotion. I agree that the article you reference is perhaps less informative. Not all pages on Wikipedia are good examples of pages. Generally it's frowned upon to create "Operation" sections that explain in detail how to use a certain program. Wikipedia isn't a user manual. You also use promotional words that express opinions as if they were fact like "boasted" and "advanced" (these are just examples). Also, sources must be independent, reliable, and mention of the subject of the article significantly (non-trivially). Currently, your sources fail the "independence" check.

This personality did achieve success and recognition in his field of work: https://thehearup.com/francesco-carrozzo-has-been-working-as-a-sound-engineer/6777/ https://www.theodysseyonline.com/from-italy-to-los-angeles-francesco-carrozzo-takes-over-the-music-industry-worldwide


working with American and Italian artists such as A$AP Ferg, The Game, Negramaro. Why it should not be approved?

Serotonine69 Your draft offers no independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this person to support the content of the article- it has no sources at all, actually. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 07:04, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, should I understand that this article should be attached to CAST (company), is this correct?

15:52:04, 11 April 2020 review of submission by Shikhasethia

[edit]


Hi, I had two questions that I needed support with, as this is my first article on Wikipedia.

Is there a way to have the link to the article on Gudmundur Eiriksson not be "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guðmundur_Eir%C3%ADksson" but "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudmundur_Eiriksson" to make it easier to search?

It still does not appear as a result when I search for Gudmundur Eiriksson on Google - is that something that will happen only as the page gets more hits?

Thank you.--Shikhasethia (talk) 15:52, 11 April 2020 (UTC) Shikhasethia (talk) 15:52, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shikhasethia, you can create a redirect, so the more common search term will redirect to the article. This has already been done for this case. For instance, try navigating to the page Gudmundur Eiriksson using the search bar in Wikipedia. I should note that the primary purpose of Wikipedia isn't to make pages visible on Google, it is to write a well written and comprehensive encyclopedia. In this case, the article isn't showing on Google because it was just created. Until articles are "reviewed" by new page patrollers, the article won't show up on Google (unless it hasn't been reviewed in 90 days). It will show up once a reviewer has made sure the article complies with the more essential Wikipedia policies. Sam-2727 (talk) 03:03, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sam-2727 Thank you - this is very clear and helpful.

[edit]

This article is about "Hayden McNulty", a famous online personality and musician. Though he does not have any Billboard hits, he has over 600k subscribers and a dozen or so multi-million-view videos. I feel he warrants a small Wikipedia entry about him, as many of his contemporaries or relatively obscure artists also have small Wikipedia entries. Geoffkors (talk) 18:44, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Geoffkors Please note that it is not usually a good argument to cite other similar articles as a reason for yours to exist; as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected and unaddressed, even for years. Feel free to point out some of these other similar articles for examination if you wish(though I'm guessing you don't wish to, which is okay). We can only address the problems that we know about. Other similar articles existing does not mean that yours can too. See other stuff exists.
In order to merit a Wikipedia article, a musician must meet at least one of the criteria written at WP:BAND, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Number of YouTube subscribers is not a notability criteria, as this is easily gamed(and 600,000 is relatively low). There are "YouTubers" with millions of subscribers who do not merit articles because no independent sources write about them. The sources you offer do not rise to the level of significant coverage by independent sources, sources that have chosen on their own to significantly cover the subject. Please read Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 19:04, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gargsociology (talk) 21:54, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gargsociology, your subject of your article has been determined by a reviewer to likely not be notable. That is, there probably aren't multiple independent reliable sources that mention significantly the subject of your article. If you can provide sources that do meet these requirements, then your article could be reconsidered for review. Sam-2727 (talk) 23:06, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
