00:53:11, 6 May 2020 review of draft by Amielalcala

[edit]


Reviewer said that, "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia." Amielalcala (talk) 00:53, 6 May 2020 (UTC) Amielalcala (talk) 00:53, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Davidwomackpr (talk) 01:34, 6 May 2020 (UTC) I am a notable figure. If not, What is considered "notable" news stations and Radio shows have mentioned my plans to change entertainment Davidwomackpr (talk) 01:34, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Davidwomackpr Are you yourself David Womack? (your name is "David Womack PR" as in public relations, suggesting you might not be David). Wikipedia is not a place for people to write about themselves. Please see the autobiography policy. Once you meet the Wikipedia definition of a notable creative professional, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources, of what you have done, not what you will do, independent editors will take note of your career and write about you. A Wikipedia article is not necessarily desirable. If you just want to tell the world about yourself and how you will change entertainment, you should use social media. 331dot (talk) 01:44, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hello, I have supplied better sources that seem to show the notability of Rick Glassman. I'm open to any recommendations and advice to get this article published. Thank you for your time.

Best wishes,

Elliott

Silvertopbeauty (talk) 02:20, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Silvertopbeauty, The reviewer has rejected your article which means they determined there's zero chance of demonstrating notability at this time. I would agree with this rejection, the subject currently fails WP:NACTOR Sulfurboy (talk) 04:27, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

04:29:40, 6 May 2020 review of submission by MrConnieGenius

[edit]

It is true that a previous link to this book elsewhere on Wikipedia (as just cited in the rejection notice) was removed for being a personal promotional link and not being a bona-fide work of literature however, please know that those reviewers themselves, after actually taking the time to look at the bibliographic details, realized their mistake and reinstated the link. I believe they were so quick to judge primarily due to the "colorful" title of the work as well as the modernist cover photo, both of which defy expectations of what a novel from Iran should look like. It would be more "proper" if the cover had some religious fanatic women dressed in black robes with machine guns but this, whoa, a story about some badass blogger in Iran who talks just like you and me, how can it be?! In fact, this is the very reason I am "promoting" this non-commercial, non-mainstream, alternative work available as a FREE, PDF download. I am trying to overcome stereotypes. The author of the novel is up for the prestigious international Hans Christian Andersen Award (stalled due to Covid-9) yet the general public is unaware such a progressive writer exists precisely because his works are hard to access. Is not Wikipedia's raison d'être to include such works? I would not have been surprised if the article had been rejected due to technical faults (the big publishing houses have a whole staff of tech-savvy experts to promote their books on social media whereas I am just doing the best I can) but I was not expecting that previous rejection (since corrected and accepted) to come back and haunt me. MrConnieGenius (talk) 04:29, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MrConnieGenius, It's weird that, in a message where you claim that your book article isn't promotional, you somehow figure out a way to further promote the book (FREE, PDF download). Unfortunately, your article has been rejected which mean it will not be considered further at this time. Sulfurboy (talk) 04:39, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 08:03:44, 6 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by 17u9e

[edit]


I would like assistance to provide further information about the general topic about the Baron of Loughmoe/Loughmoe castle/Hugh Purcell of Loughmoe and so on. However, it is fairly obscure so when I create an article (except on one occasion) it is declined for "brief dicsussion and not an encyclopediac knowledge", but I have seen stubs on Wikipedia so I was wondering how they are accepted for Articles for creation and the ones I make not.

17u9e (talk) 08:03, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

17u9e, Your article is not only non-notable, but is very poorly soured. I would look at WP:RS for a reference in the future about a reilable sources. Sulfurboy (talk) 13:51, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

09:22:54, 6 May 2020 review of submission by Princepratap1234

[edit]

I don't understand ,how can this article fail notability as she has appeared in many television shows and many music videos.

Prince 09:22, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Being on a reality show doesn't make you notable. Three editors concur that this subject has zero chance of demonstrating notability at this time. Please do not submit again.Sulfurboy (talk) 13:50, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Abigail Tetteh (talk) 10:27, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My page has been deleted and I cant't access my user sandbox anymore.Meanwhile,I want to create a new article.How do I go about this?

@Abigail Tetteh: Your sandbox should still be available to you. However, the preferred way to submit a draft article is to go via the article wizard or articles for creation and create a new submission in draftspace. Please remember, as previously notified to you, not to use content taken from elswhere. Thank you. Before beginning a new draft I would recommend that you review the guide to creating an article and links at your talk page. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 13:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

14:05:29, 6 May 2020 review of submission by Princepratap1234

[edit]

Can't you see whole article or whole FILMOGRAPHY just focusing on reality show How this article is not notable ,he has done web series as lead actor and TV shows besides reality show and what about this article Divya Agarwal,Shehnaaz Kaur Gill , how can this article be notable then . Why different rules for different people.

Prince 14:05, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Agarwal was a redirect until a now-blocked sock restored the article content. I've reverted it back to a redirect for now as I don't see how they pass notability. Gill was kept at an AFD discussion in January, you can read the reasons there. Ravensfire (talk) 14:48, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 16:03:16, 6 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Ronjohn

[edit]


I would like to see a page created for Moomoo online trading platform by Moomoo Inc. www.moomoo.com Ron John (talk) 16:03, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ronjohn, This isn't the place to make requests for new pages. Also, the subject doesn't look to be notable, so creating a new page for it would be futile. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:29, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

16:30:06, 6 May 2020 review of submission by Mushusasa

[edit]


Please give me some instructions so that we can overcome the problem together. The identical page already exists in Serbian and Russian page Mushusasa (talk) 16:30, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The draft has been rejected, the topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia, the business would need to pass the criteria at WP:NCORP to be acceptable. Theroadislong (talk) 16:50, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

17:10:55, 6 May 2020 review of submission by KennyParis

20:17:56, 6 May 2020 review of draft by 2601:240:CB00:70B0:75A9:CC5C:150E:BFF1

[edit]


Hello, I am seeking advice on publishing a page. I have run into issues on my content being too promotional. I have read the Wikipedia guidelines and have included sources from third-parties. Can you please point to which specific items in my copy are too promotional? 2601:240:CB00:70B0:75A9:CC5C:150E:BFF1 (talk) 20:17, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no substantive content; there is merely a rule-breaking list of expos they produced, and a similar rule-breaking list of obscure publications they put out, each one with a nice fat spammy URL. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:41, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

20:19:27, 6 May 2020 review of submission by NG AGM

[edit]

Could you tell me why this article is published on Wikitia.com https://wikitia.com/wiki/Sanusi_Mohammed_Ohiare

Also what does this mean? Can I still publish on wikipedia, if i update the draft? NG AGM (talk) 20:19, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because Wikitia is a tiny obscure wiki specializing in feel-good content and sourcing articles to videos as well as to text, so their standards are obviously quite different from those of Wikipedia. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please, let me re-clarify my question. How did the article get on Wikitia? I did not post it on there.

− NG AGM (talk) 07:19, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@NG AGM: Every time you click "Publish changes" on Wikipedia you grant anyone and everyone the right to copy and modify what you've written. Many websites copy content from Wikipedia. Wikitia is evidently one. It is probably set up to copy all content automatically, but no one here knows or cares how or why Wikitia copied the page, because we have no connection to Wikitia. If you want more information about their operations, you should ask on their website. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:59, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
