You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected and therefore will not be considered further. Please read our guideline on autobiographies. Thank you. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:53, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

My submission for some reason is rejected. We would like to publish the musician called "Ll" on to Wikipedia. Please can you reconsider as it is just a simple musician wanting a wikipedia page.

Also unsure what User:WHIP_content/sandbox/Ll is for the required page for "Ll" the name for the musician. Please help revise and confirm.

@WHIP content: Could you clarify what you mean by "We"...? Is WHIP content an agency or company representing Ll? Ian.thomson (talk) 07:53, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

75.6.199.184 (talk) 07:41, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand what is wrong with this submission. There is an article for an almost Identical company called Japan Crate. The only information listed in the article covers the basic history of the company which the original instructions said was allowed. Considering this company has the exact same nature as Japan Crate, a company with a Wikipedia page what can be done to remediate the situation. The issue is that the founding information for the company is buried deep within its blogs and the company is based in Japan so there are no readily available resources. What can be done to fix this submission because I believe the decision to decline is unjust.Thedeadlyman1 (talk) 07:46, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can provide some additional resources which should the company is notable; however information mentioned in the essay only covered basic information from the websites and blogs. I simply wanted to lay the foundation for the article. If others want to expand on it in the future they should; however the denial seems odd.

(edit conflict)@Thedeadlyman1: Don't judge drafts according to existing articles, look at the actual "rules" for making articles (such as WP:NOTE and WP:RS). WP:42 is a commonly recommended explanation regarding article creation and I've written a guide to creating articles as part of a larger guide for new users.
The Japan Crate article is old enough that it probably did not go through the formal article creation process. It may need to be gutted of press releases, and it may not have enough coverage in reliable sources afterward to meet the notability guidelines (though the fact that there's a Kotaku piece about it is stopping me from doing this right now).
The Business Insider piece cited in the Tokyo Treat article would be a good start, buuuut there's this disclosure at the bottom of it: We highlight products and services you might find interesting. If you buy them, we get a small share of the revenue from the sale from our commerce partners. Yeah, that doesn't sound completely reliable, no matter how they try to spin it in the rest of the disclosure. Ian.thomson (talk) 08:05, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I have written an article KDE Connect. My draft was rejected with a template[template] with generic causes of rejection. Can some one pin point which is the exact reason/reasons of the rejection? Then I can understand if it can be continued. Ibn Fulan (talk) Ibn Fulan (talk) 08:39, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The decline reason seems pretty clear to me? Unreliable sources in your draft include, Support.Google, GSConnect, addons.Mozilla, extensions.gnome, chrome.google, microsoftedge.microsoft.com, community.kde.org/, invent.kde.org, google-melange.com there are others too.

I fear that I am struggling with trolls on Wiki who send me insulting and irrelevant messages to my talk page. It is upsetting and depressing that Wikipedia allows such trolls to operate. I request that the persons Jonsey95 and Ahmetlii be banned from sending any messages to my talk page. I was extremely distressed at finding messages from them and I request that Wiki delete these messages from Wiki. Perhaps the legal department at Wikipedia would be helpful with this. People who hide beind fake names like Jonesy95 and Ahmetlii should not be allowed on Wikipedia. Only bullies us pseudonyms and this policy should be rethought by Wikipedia in light of current online policies dealing with diversity and anti-racism. I have signed my complaint with my real name Susan Morrall.

NO HELP RECEIVED!

Hello,

I need help but I have not gotten assistance for my request at 21:38:54, 22 April 2021. I do not want to duplicate my long text here, someone please reply to my post! Thank you.

Inspiress (talk) 16:56, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think part of the issue is that the sources appear to be in Japanese, limiting the people who can help to those who can read Japanese. Automated translation consistently returns word salad if used on South or East Asian languages. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 18:35, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jéské Couriano: Thank you for your reply, is the foreign language source a possibility for having my article rejected and mentioned t o "use independent and reliable sources" because no one could tell if it is reliable? (reference ping:@DGG:) —User:Inspiress 26 April 2021 (UTC)

[edit]


This is a page similar to Zazzle which too has same information. If this is scheduled for deletion, why is Zazzle still live ?

Please see other stuff exists. Other similar articles existing does not automatically mean yours can too. Each article is judged on its own merits Not every business in a field merits an article or is entitled to an article, it depends on coverage in independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 18:56, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I need your help guys if there anyone can tell me what to do about my first article... or advice please. Paraiso Pal (talk) 19:18, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Paraiso Pal My advice is to abandon efforts to improve the draft. You have been repeatedly told that it was rejected and will not be considered further, and as such your repeated inquiries are becoming disruptive. 331dot (talk) 19:53, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

How can I make this seem less promotional? GreySpottyTimelord (talk) 19:28, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further, and no amount of editing can change that. 331dot (talk) 19:48, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
