- @Amitbxt: you didn't ask a question. This draft does not indicate how this subject meets WP:GNG. Victor Schmidt (talk) 10:00, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

[edit]
Is it not notable that he's the only Ivy League graduate in history getting a pro contact straight from uni in a top 15 European leagues in the first team ? He already has been published in the Spanish wiki.
Can he be notable in any other way? Does it have to be under Wp:nfooty? Or by any other means?

[edit]When my article was restored they have the name wrong. It is Haris Stamboulidis. Can you fix this?
His page has already been published and notable in the Spanish wiki. Double standards?
Can someone help me publish this article of a hard working player.

- Akarnikos Your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Please read the comments left by the reviewers. The Spanish Wikipedia is a separate project from the English Wikipedia, with its own editors and policies. What is acceptable there is not necessarily acceptable here. 331dot (talk) 11:42, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

[edit]
Can I request you to edit and publish my article?
Mmmm1362 (talk) 12:45, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Mmmm1362: No. Google and other searches, LinkedIn and liekwise are not considered reliable sources, so this would fail WP:BLP when in mainspace. Victor Schmidt (talk) 15:24, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

The article I have submitted about Mr George Abraham (Social Entrepreneur) is a factually verified article about a genuine social activist for the visually challenged community in India. It is written in a neutral tone, avoiding hyperbole. I humbly disagree with the reviewer who has written a comment 'This is a press release , not an encyclopedia article'. I believe having an article about Mr George Abraham in Wikipedia, will be inspiring for the visually challenged in India, particularly students. When the event he founded - World Cup Cricket for the Blind - has an article in which he is mentioned, surely there should be a readable article on him too. I therefore sincerely request a review of my article, with constructive suggestions for improvement.
Best wishes, Sulekha.
- Sulekha Kavi The draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. I'm glad that this person does good work, but Wikipedia is not for telling the world about good work or good people. Social media or an alternative forum are better suited for what you want. 331dot (talk) 21:02, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I am looking for help regarding why my article submission request was declined. It mentions that primary sources are not enough, but it does not specify exactly what that means, and the website that was linked doesn't offer any assistance in figuring out what else I will need to add for it to achieve the minimum standard. One page of a related snowmobile is the Yamaha Phazer which only lists 2 reference where I have provided no less than 69 references (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_Phazer)
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

- Using the argument that other poor quality articles exist is not helpful, Yamaha Phazer should probably be deleted. Theroadislong (talk) 19:50, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Joelrsmith: A primary source would be the Yamaha website talking about Yamaha products. A secondary source would be a mainstream publication like Motor Trend writing an article about the snowmobile independently of input from Yamaha. In order for an article subject to meet our General Notability Guideline, it must be supported with ample secondary sources that are independent of the subject, and that have covered the subject in significant detail. Hope that helps. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:02, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

[edit]I created my draft page with references however when I click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button, I'm redirected to edit the draft I've just created (with no indication as to what additional editing is expected). Thank you for any assistance you can provide to help me resolve this situation. Pfxc001 (talk) 20:17, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- Pfxc001 You submit the draft by clicking "submit this draft" and then "publish changes" on the edit screen. However, your draft is unlikely to be accepted as you are only citing a primary source. A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources state about a subject, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability. 331dot (talk) 21:11, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
