[edit]


This new article for Bobbie Darbyshire has been rejected. Can you help and explain to me how I can get the page approved please? Thanks, Tony (username: Elyptika)

Elyptika The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. The person does not seem to meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable creative professional, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 11:55, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Elyptika I can't speak for Theroadislong but usually when a reviewer rejects a submission because "This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia" it means two things:
  • The submission does not provide sufficient evidence that the subject meets Wikipedia's notability criteria, and
  • Either 1) The reviewer either knows enough about the subject to say flat-out "this is not notable," 2) the reviewer has attempted to find evidence that the person meets Wikipedia's notability criteria and failed to find it, OR 3) the topic is obviously of the type where reliable sources are almost certain to not exist.
Examples of the first would be if the submission were about an author that the reviewer was already familiar enough with to know that the author in question was not notable.
Examples of the second would be almost anything that post-dates the arrival of general access to the internet in that part of the world, where sources, if they existed at all, would be expected to turn up in an internet search. This would cover almost all 21st century English-language writers.
Examples of the third would be things that are almost never notable, such as an author who fails Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Creative professionals and where there is no evidence in the submission that the person might be "notable" under some other criteria.
In RARE cases, the reviewer may have missed something and the rejection was an error. It's not common, but it happens. In cases like this, the submitter has to clearly demonstrate that the topic being written about does in fact meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Don't bother trying unless you are very familiar with Wikipedia's notability guidelines and this is a "clear-cut error" not merely a judgment call that you happen to disagree with. The burden will be on you to show that an error was made.
In RARE cases, the subject's notability will have changed after the rejection. For example, if the person won a major award such as the National Book Award tomorrow, there will almost certainly be enough significant coverage from reliable, independent sources that the person would be considered "notable" by Wikipedia terms. If this happens, PLEASE update the article, remove any thing that isn't written in a neutral point of view, and re-submit. This actually happened in the last year or two, where a Nobel Prize-winning scientist didn't have an article until the prize was announced, even though the scientist probably would have passed WP:NACADEMIC.

[edit]


Hello, I am trying to add a tag to a draft that I am waiting to be reviewed, but I have tried over and over and across several weeks and I keep receiving a message that an unexpected error has occurred. I have successfully added two other tags without issue, and it is only when I try to add the Children's literature tag that I experience this problem. I've included a picture below. Please help, as I think this tag would be most useful in order to speed up the review of this page. Thanks.

@Missmeg01: Weird. I was yust able to add it. I have examined the source code of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Add_WikiProject_tags, and I can't say why this error should be shown. My best Idea would be a spontaneous failure in software? That being said, the error message could be more helpfull. All that I can tell after examizing is that something failed that shouldn't fail, but the software isn't telling me why. Victor Schmidt (talk) 19:54, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

21:08:30, 1 January 2021 review of submission by Indianite

[edit]


I am requesting a review since the subject of the submission is a different person (by the same name) from the one in the previous submission. The new subject happens to be a notable photojournalist and is a recipient of the Pulitzer Prize as well. Indianite (talk) 21:08, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Indianite: In cases as this, where the new draft is on a different person, its often better to create seperate draft with a disambiguated title, such as Draft:Danish Siddiqui (journalist), so that you don't have to worry about the foundations left behind by the editor before you. Either way, I am goign to invite @Celestina007: to this discussion. Victor Schmidt (talk) 22:00, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't ask a question. This draft has been rejected, because there is no evidence of this subject meeting WP:NPERSON. This draft is unreferenced. Victor Schmidt (talk) 21:56, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aslı Kırar: You didn't ask a question. That makes it difficult for anyone to help you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:46, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Did I get it right for preview? Best regards Aslı Kırar (talk) 00:58, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
