01:28:42, 6 February 2021 review of draft by 49.147.251.145

[edit]


How can I remove the redirect option? I made an article for the Filipino singer, Klarisse de Guzman, but it redirects to The Voice of the Philippines where she competed.

You're confused. Draft:Klarisse de Guzman does not have a redirect. The live space Klarisse de Guzman does. Don't worry about this. If the article is approved, someone will move the draft properly. If you do anything about this, you are likely to create problems, since we need to preserve the draft article's history. Also, it is not recommended that you edit while logged out.

Cyphoidbomb, I've looked at the article and its probably in the top 5% of all draft articles that I've seen in WP:AFC and I would approve it in a heartbeat if it weren't for the history of the livespace redirect. The live space Klarisse de Guzman is a redirect created after the article in 2017 was deleted after an RFD, so it will need someone with that ability to handle the history mergers. Can I do request at WP:RFM?Naraht (talk) 18:57, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sbhpiamonte Please bug me if it hasn't been moved out of draftspace to livespace (also called mainspace or articlespace) in a week... This isn't something you can do yourself, as User:Cyphoidbomb said, it will take some work from people with more permissions that I have.Naraht (talk)Naraht (talk) 18:58, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sbhpiamonte Moved by another user who did the history merge.

Where is the reliable sources here?

[edit]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_(dating_app) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMVU

Their source is their website, Apple store, and a free blog?

17:33:12, 6 February 2021 review of draft by Ltdragoon

[edit]


I submitted an initial Wikipedia article on November 11th, 2020. This was my first attempt at publishing a Wikipedia article. The article is about a Revolutionary War officer, Capt. Baylor Hill. The article was rejected on November 12th, 2020 by Curbon7. As I’ve become more familiar with Wikipedia’s requirements and standards, I understand now why the article was rejected and have continued to work on it. I need to ask Curbon7 a question which does not pertain to why the article was rejected. Can you please tell me how I can contact Curbon7? I'm not sure if a message I sent earlier today to Curbon7 was done correctly. Thank you for your help. Ltdragoon (talk) 17:33, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ltdragoon You can contact them here User talk:Curbon7. Theroadislong (talk) 17:36, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ltdragoon As a general comment, you way want to read WP:SFN for the style of references and footnotes that you are using. The references placed in the correct place will automatically generate the [1], [2] etc. And I don't think Curbon7's rejection indicates that there shouldn't be an article about Mayor Hill. (I personally would count being mayor of Norfolk, Virginia as singlehandedly making them notable.) I'll be happy to continue to comment on this if you would like.) Welcome to Wikipedia. (and the list of Mayors on the Norfolk, Virginia page is a mess, if you have more info on them, I'd love to see that improved.Naraht (talk) 18:46, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ltdragoon, Hello! I'm sorry if you sent me a message before, I'm not very active anymore due to IRL circumstances, so I may have missed it. If you note from my declination, neither reason was because the subject is non-notable; in fact, he is quite notable, a Naraht pointed out. The main issue content-wise with the draft is the wording in parts is unencyclopedic, but this can be easily fixed with some rearranging of the draft to make parts more contextual.

I have in vain been trying to publish a page about Philip Huzzey and it has been turned down stating IMDB is not a reliable source. Okay so I have shown he has a book published referenced to Amazon and a film referenced to Amazon Prime. Are you tube videos and newspaper clips acceptable references.

Amazon and IMDb confer zero notability as they are not reliable or independent sources, YouTube is no good either, newspaper or magazine articles that discuss the topic in significant detail would be better. Theroadislong (talk) 20:45, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

22:30:58, 6 February 2021 review of submission by RussellRox

[edit]

I would like to explain that when I saw something like Francis García with nothing at all for so many years to back up the article, I created my account and tried to create this article about Roxanne Russell. I have read so much about Logan Carter and his female persona Roxanne Russell in the books by James T. Sears and Jack Nichols (activist) and elsewhere that I thought for sure, with so much to back up an article about Roxanne Russell, that this would be appreciated and acceptable. Wikipedia should better present performers from a time when drag fame was acquired in more tedious and low key ways (such as Roxanne Russell featured as a model in Harper's Bazaar Italy) than in making an appearance or 2 on RuPaul's Drag Race. I am truly embarrassed and sorry I did this now, and I apologize. --RussellRox (talk) 22:30, 6 February 2021 (UTC) RussellRox (talk) 22:30, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RussellRox: Hi there, while I know it's frustrating to have a draft declined, you should be aware that you can continue to build it. The challenge you have is to demonstrate that the article meets the General Notability Guideline, which requires that you demonstrate that the subject has received significant coverage (in-depth coverage) in reliable sources that are independent of the subject (i.e. not interviews, not press releases, etc.) If the subject is well-known and considered an important figure in drag, you might also consider dropping a line at WikiProject LGBT studies to see if anyone is interested in helping you find references.
