01:01:38, 24 July 2021 review of draft by 45ispres

[edit]


Leslie Dougher has a Wikipedia article with no references in her article. This is all the article says> Leslie Dougher is a Republican politician who served as Chair of the Republican Party of Florida.[1]. That was the entire article. I can find more secondary sources to add to my draft for potential article creation in the future if needed. I read through the requirements for notability and don't know how Dougher meets the requirements and Williams doesn't. This is my first attempt at writing an article so I have a few questions. Dougher also received no media coverage except 1 video I found and because of this I am very confused on what the qualifications are even with the notability guide. Thank you :)

45ispres Please see other stuff exists. That other poor quality articles exist does not mean that other poor quality articles can be created. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us. In addition, standards change over time, so that what was once acceptable may be no longer. We can only address what we know about; you are welcome to identify other inappropriate articles you have seen for possible action, we can use the help.
Regarding your draft, as an elected official a sheriff likely meets the Wikipedia definition of a notable politician, but they must still receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources to merit an article. If no one writes about this sheriff, then they would not merit an article. I would start by looking for sources about his election and any positions he might hold. 331dot (talk) 07:45, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting us know so that we can take it to AfD. (That article was never drafted; drafting was not made mandatory until February 2018. This is a perfect example of why we do not accept "What about Article X?!" arguments.) —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 07:48, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

05:39:54, 24 July 2021 review of submission by Andrebi46

[edit]

Hello, please review my draft. If it is not notable as the reviewer said, how other researchers (Romanians, with the same accomplishments) have a Wikipedia page? Please review all the information, because it really is relevant and notable. It's about a Professor who impacted the life of thousand students and more with impressive research results and he is on the top of Romanian politics today. If something it's not good, please contact me to correct the mistakes/format, but it's not correct to say that the subject is not NOTABLE. Thank you for your kind review and response. Have a great day! Andrebi46 (talk) 05:39, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Andrebi46 Each article or draft is judged on its own merits. Please see other stuff exists. That other similar articles exist does not automatically mean that yours can too. It depends on the coverage in independent reliable sources. Most of the sources you offer seem to just mention him or are simple directory listings, not in depth, significant coverage of him by sources that have chosen on their own to write about him. Please understand that the Wikipedia definition of a notable academic is likely different than the one you or I might use, but that's what it is. 331dot (talk) 07:49, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I've checked the criteria regarding musicians and ensembles and don't quite see why my draft was declined, as the band in question 1. has had not only one but THREE albums on Japan's national weekly album chart (Oricon) 2. has received coverage of an international tour in independent media (see https://www.bandwagon.asia/articles/where-ends-meet-cosmic-child-sg-and-for-tracy-hyde-jpn-live-in-manila-photo-gallery ) 3. has performed live on the Japanese national radio network TBS not only once but twice (see https://www.tbsradio.jp/417746 and https://www.tbsradio.jp/564039 ) 4. is a widely recognized example of the Japanese shoegaze scene. If this isn't sufficient enough than I don't know what is. Sutatatabunwa (talk) 06:13, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You don't ask a question, but the draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 07:40, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please may I ask, I have a page in "review" stage which I need to rename. DELETE Tony_Miller_OBE_SBS_JP RENAME Tony_Miller

Please can you tell me how I rename a page? Thank you

Sorry I stuffed up the naming conventions, I'll know for next time!

Campbell Anderson

Campbell Anderson You may leave a note for the reviewer on the draft talk page, describing what the title should be. If they accept the draft, it will be placed at the proper title when it is moved to the encyclopedia. 331dot (talk) 09:04, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@39.33.208.169: You didn't ask a question, but we can't host copyright violations (see also WP:FAQ/Copyright), nor is Wikipedia meant to be a place to promote a given subject. Check out your first article for more info. Victor Schmidt (talk) 11:56, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I have not copy and pasted anything into my draft but people say I have? Please help me! 2A00:23C8:640A:5901:BDE9:4A3E:85A:BB04 (talk) 11:29, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may not have copied and pasted it, but it is totally inappropriate for an encyclopedia " "How do?" would be used to connect two characters in a sexual relationship. It would be most commonly used in roleplay as two characters, usually virgins, pretending that they were experienced and professional in terms of "shagging" is clearly some sort of a joke?

[edit]


Hi, I have made a Wikipedia article about a sportsperson and got this reply:

Possibly notable (likely, even, if the claims can be verified), but sourcing is wholly inadequate, and most of the contents are unsupported by citations; a problem for any article, let alone a BLP. Any copyvios must also be removed before resubmitting.

As a result the article is not published. All the information is correct and linked to the person's website, that's why inadequate is very confusing. Any suggestions how to make it pass? How many citations it should include? And the were no copyvios either.. Thanks in advance.

Brian Ferro (talk) 13:26, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Ferro, the sourcing is inadequate because your submission relies on primary sources. As for the copyvio issue, you may have to Revdel copyvio edits and rewrite. Eternal Shadow Talk 16:28, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

19:05:01, 24 July 2021 review of draft by Arentvantspijker

[edit]


Arentvantspijker (talk) 19:05, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

My draft article on the COIN Framework (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Continuous_Innovation_Framework) has been rejected for publication multiple times, because it was deemed 'more like an advertisement and not an encyclopedia article'. I rewrote many times but never found the right touch, I'm afraid. People seem to think I get paid for this, as the article is about business, but I don't. This is an open-source initiative and I receive no compensation from anyone. Today in the chat RichSmith helped me a great deal, and I've made some major changes again, but he also referred me here to get more help to get the text right. Could anyone help me to get this text right? I really don't need advertising, I just want to mention and explain my project with proper references.

Thanks very much!

You say "I just want to mention and explain my project with proper references." that is explicitly NOT what Wikipedia is for, I suggest you put tye content on a website or blog.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Theroadislong (talk • contribs)
OK, I stand corrected... that was misformulated... the subject is a notable topic because of its impact on the subject of corporate innovation as regarded by its intended audience and current user base (if that is a correct definition of 'notable'). What I meant to say was that am not aiming to use Wikipedia as an advertising platform.

Any help to get the wording right in that sense is warmly appreciated.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Arentvantspijker (talk • contribs)

[edit]


Kyereta (talk) 21:40, 24 July 2021 (UTC) I tried to create an Article but unfortunately it was declined, I don't have reliable sources for Citations Can any one help me trouble shoot this?.[reply]

Kyereta If you have no independent reliable sources, it would not merit an article at this time. To merit an article, a business must receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources that have chosen on their own to write about it, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable business. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about something. 331dot (talk) 21:51, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
