Ramkrishnadas1 You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves, as Wikipedia is not social media. In addition, autobiographical articles are strongly discouraged. 331dot (talk) 08:21, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi - I submitted a draft quite a while ago - at 18:36 on 1 February, and have heard nothing since. I realise that not 5 months have yet elapsed, but I might have done something wrong...

Thank you for your help!

[edit]


I would like to create an english wikipedia page for the topic currently only available in Swedish https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmans_apostlar

Other university choirs are featured on the english wikipedia page such as the one linked below.

Friedmans Your draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. It is completely unsourced and does not indicate how this choir meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable music group. Note that the English Wikipedia likely has different standards and policies than the Swedish Wikipedia.

[edit]


Hello! The AFC that I had submitted Draft:Karl Zelik was rejected based on notability, but I believe he meets notability criteria #1 for academics based on the combination of highly cited papers in biomechanics and a number of awards from biomechanics societies. What is the proper way to continue from this point? Thanks! JohnJoePayne (talk) 18:40, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft was declined NOT rejected. Theroadislong (talk) 19:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JohnJoePayne: In other words, you may improve and resubmit the draft. Here you say he is notable for having highly cited papers, and you may be correct, but the draft doesn't say anything about his papers being highly cited, or about the criteria for selection his "selected publications". The lead should make clear what he is notable for. The awards may not be as helpful as you think. The awarding organizations are notable, so it would be good if you added internal links to them, but not every award from a notable organization is a "highly prestigious academic award or honor", which is what Wikipedia is looking for. Did any independent (i.e. not Zelik, his employer, or the awarding organization) secondary source cover his receipt of the awards? If not, don't mention them in the lead. Similarly, has any independent source covered his being the chief scientific officer of HeroWear? Perhaps the business section of a regional newspaper? If not, including it in the lead sounds rather promotional. Also, external links, ones that take the reader away from Wikipedia, are not allowed in the body text. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:33, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi, I saw that reviewers rejected the article 'Minus Zero' stating that company is not notable as per references. But all articles were independent including renowned Economic Times, Dataquest India, etc. Only two of those were interview based. As per Wikipedia guidelines the company seems notable, and articles have proper coverage (not just passing mention). I even didn't add any info that was not covered by independent sources.

Can you let me know what were the errors regarding each parameter? It would be a great help to improve my future articles or edit and contribute better to Wikipedia

Mrexcoder (talk) 20:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mrexcoder Your draft does little more than tell about the existence of the company. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company. If you review WP:ORG carefully, it points out that announcements of routine business activities do not establish notability. 331dot (talk) 21:57, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, can you point out the primary flaws in this submission that are preventing it's publication?

Best, Matthew

@MatthewMarani: the way it is written feels promotional. I think it probably passes WP:NCORP, though have not checked in detail, nor checked the references. What you need to achieve is a very tightly written précis written in dull-but-worthy prose, well referenced. WP:42 is agood guide. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 21:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I think this article already meets the requirements. What am I missing? Peter Jedicke (talk) 23:20, 13 May 2021 (UTC) Peter Jedicke (talk) 23:20, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pjedicke As noted by reviewers, you do not have independent reliable sources to support the content of the draft. Interviews, information from the publisher, blogs, fan websites, and other similar sources do not establish notability. Independent reliable sources need to have a reputation of editoral control and fact checking, and be independent of the subject(no interviews with the author).
