Hi, I hope this is the right place to seek advice. It has been a long while since I logged into wikipedia to edit a page.

I noticed this draft has been denied several times over the last year and I would like to take this page up on getting it published fully. If I am correct, the page is getting denied on the grounds that the sources are not reliable enough. From what I understand the two 3rd party sources I see referenced on the page are both sparse on info, and basically are about the same thing. Aside from Simmons being a show creator of his series I would assume further sources such as interviews talking about his career, his work on youtube, and other news sources would be adequate yes? I was able to find additional sources that would work well with this page, and even be able to improve the information already provided on the draft.

Any advice moving forward on getting this page approved would be greatly appreciated.

Interviews would not work. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 07:06, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

09:21:01, 11 May 2021 review of submission by Chrisadasia

[edit]


Thank you for reviewing my created page. My submission was rejected as it didn't meet significant coverage requirements - published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

I just wanted to clarify which source it refers to (I've read the documentation around referencing, but still can't determine what exactly I'm missing) - as all sources are independent/secondary from the subject, published and reliable. The only thing I can think of is there are a few referenced news sources that are behind subscriber paywalls, but there was also some documentation saying that this shouldn't affect the review.

Please let me know what I can change, thank you!

Chrisadasia (talk) 09:21, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Chrisadasia I do hope you read the big pink decline box which tells you broadly what is wrong. It is the referencing. This is a well disguised advert. Many of the references are regurgitated press releases and PR material. Which source? Please check 100% of your sources.
Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 10:01, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

11:27:01, 11 May 2021 review of submission by RYVIAS

[edit]


I'm looking to get a business page uploaded for the company I work for. Many of the links will come from inside the company page, although I've tried to make everything verifiable where at all possible.

Obviously I don't want to contravene any rules of Wikipedia, so any advice of how I can better place it to be suitable for publishing would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you RYVIAS (talk) 11:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RYVIAS Your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. First, you will need to change your username immediately; business names as usernames are not permitted. Your username must indicate that a specific individual is operating your account(your real name is not required, just something unique). Please see your user talk page for more information on this. Please understand that Wikipedia is not a place for businesses to tell the world about themselves and what they do, a Wikipedia article(not just a "page"), summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a business wants to say about itself, such as through press releases or announcements of its routine business activities.

@JohnTiberi: once this is an article, it can be linked to the russian version through Wikidata. For now that is not what you should focus on. Victor Schmidt (talk) 13:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You don't ask a question but 'a mother of 6 lovely children," is clearly not neutral encyclopedic tone, neither is "Her dedication, passion and down to earth attitude has inspired people to completely change their lifestyles to healthier states and better well being". please re-write.

I understand that I need to provide more supporting links and mentions. However, on Wikipedia Iceland, we were able to put up a page. Would this be a sufficient reference? I would just like to have an equivalent page for English US. https://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/66%C2%B0Nor%C3%B0ur

Would holding the position of Chief of Staff and Executive Secretary of the White House National Security Counsel qualify for WP:NPOL#1? I'm leaning towards the negative, but wanted to make sure with more experienced reviewers to make sure I'm not missing out on something. nearlyevil665 16:35, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

18:23:47, 11 May 2021 review of submission by Fexulaan

[edit]

The following is copied from the talk page of the reviewer, who kindly redirected me to ask my questions here instead.

Hello! Thank you for reviewing my draft. I did not expect it to be reviewed this soon, and I certainly intend to make further edits. Now that you have given it a close evaluation, would you mind answering some burning questions I have with regards to the sourcing policies?

I understand that some of the current sources, being interviews with the subject in question or descriptions written by affiliated parties (record labels, etc) do nothing to adequately establish notability. I could realistically find a number of sources that refer to Das Ding as one of the pioneers and more prominent faces of the modular synth scene in Rotterdam and perhaps the Netherlands as a whole. However, none of these sources would be considered noteworthy publications, as the subject, a niche scene in a small country, does not see itself covered by major publications.

The fact is, minimal wave and modular synth tinkering are both very niche subjects. Had there not been Wikipedia articles on either of those topics, I would not have even tried suggesting an article on Das Ding. I guess the bottom line of my question here is; how does Wikipedia deal with subjects that are niche enough so as to have a sparsity of sources available, yet are already half-represented by a number of other existing articles (sometimes poorly sourced, but evidently acceptable since they exist in mainspace)?

(When it comes to the points outlined in Wikipedia:Notability (music), Das Ding qualifies at the very least for points 5 and 7:

Point 5; Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable.

I would argue Stones Throw Records qualifies for the latter part of this;. Das Ding has been featured on multiple compilations released on this label, namely, two individual volumes of "The Minimal Wave Tapes"[1]. Or does the fact that these were collaborative albums ("Various Artists") mean that it doesn't count?

Point 7; Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city.

I believe Das Ding's qualifying for this point is established by the fact that minimal wave, a genre apparently notable enough to warrant its own Wikipedia article, saw its early-2010s revival based entirely around, among other things, the rediscovery of this subject's music.)

Despite remaining relatively obscure, Das Ding has regularly performed at a number of Dutch music festivals and venues, including WORM (Rotterdam), Amsterdam Dance Event, Motel Mozaïque, GOGBOT, etc.; yet any sort of lineup or announcement posted by any of the aforementioned sources would not constitute an acceptable source, correct?

Thank you for your time. Fexulaan   talk 18:23, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

18:27:27, 11 May 2021 review of draft by Bjdepasquale5114

[edit]


I cannot seem to figure out how to create and edit the "lead" section of my submission. I thought I had turned on the relevant settings in preferences, though no text appears above the table of contents. Here is the text that I think would be suitable for my "lead" section of the "Novyi LEF" draft...

"The Novyi LEF or New LEF journal (Russian: Новый Леф, The New Left Front of the Arts) was a literary-critical periodical published by the State Publishing House “Gosizdat” from 1927-28 in Moscow, RFSFR. Futurist poet Vladimir Mayakovsky served as editor-in-chief, with Sergei Tretyakov replacing him in August 1928.[1] Novyi LEF was a 22-issue revival of the original LEF journal (Russian: Леф, The Left Front of the Arts), which was published in seven issues from 1923-25. Both LEF and Novyi LEF emerged from the LEF literary group, composed of Futurist and Formalist writers, theorists, and artists committed to a revolutionary transformation of Soviet culture.[2] Novyi LEF consistently showcased photography (often by the constructivist Alexander Rodchenko, who also designed many of the journal’s covers), literary theory and criticism, poetry, editorials, and occasionally creative prose."

Bjdepasquale5114 (talk) 18:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bjdepasquale5114: the issue with the lede was you had it within a section therefore it was placed after the table of contents. I removed the section coding and you will now see it precedes the table of contents. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 18:30, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I submitted the article "Debra J Fisher" for review which was apparently declined because it lacks "significant coverage." I'm not an experienced editor myself. Can anyone help edit? Thanks!

20:50:59, 11 May 2021 review of draft by Limbkow

[edit]


The help I need is in understanding how the array of citations (as in, from various sources, not just 1 source, to include the numerous references of Sean Momberger's credits within many other profile/pages on wikipedia, is not sufficient? I'm not upset, but i just dont understand, considering the references to his work in other pages that are approved through the wikipedia process and non-wikipedia references that give him credit for his production/writing. Any clarity would be appreciated.

Limbkow (talk) 20:50, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Limbkow: Wikipedia does not consider itself to be a reliable source and the genius.com ones are problematic as well. The existence of other poor articles does not mean we create another one. If you find other articles which are inapproiate, please point them out so somebody can take action on them. Victor Schmidt (talk) 05:54, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
