- Draft:Stephen Gundle (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Thanks.I have included 6 references, all of them reliable (the Guardian, the University of Warwick, Duke University Press, AHRC, a PDF of a document). I believe that 6 references are quite a good number for such a short entry. You can ask professor Stephen Gundle himslef: he will confirm that everything that is written there is true. Anyway, if you want me to include extra references I will be probably able to do it (with some effort). Please, specify how many, thanks.2.30.2.222 (talk) 11:25, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@2.30.2.222: One for each and every claim that could potentially be challenged. We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every biographical claim that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to a strong third-party source that corroborates it or, if no such source(s) can be found, removed wholesale. This is a hard requirement when writing biographical content on Wikipedia and is not negotiable. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 14:01, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to contribute more to Wikipedia, so I've chosen to start pages about books I've read that don't already have pages. Three things confuse me. 1. Consistency. Are there rules for which books deserve to have Wikipedia pages and which ones don't? Are the rules applied consistently? If not, why not? How can I know which rules apply to a book I would like to add? 2. Noteworthiness. What makes a book worthy of having a Wikipedia page? Why would we want to exclude any book from Wikipedia? 3. References. When a Wikipedia contributor writes a summary of a book's content, such as plot and characters in the case of a novel, what kind of references are required? Reviews of books don't always summarize a book's content. Peter Jedicke (talk) 20:05, 2 May 2021 (UTC) Peter Jedicke (talk) 20:05, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think everything you need to know will be found here Wikipedia:Notability (books). Theroadislong (talk) 20:10, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:2021 Amber Valley Borough Council election (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

What is it you need me to do so you will publish this page - it is a standard local elections in the UK page of which there are hundreds and you have done every year there have been elections. AmberValley2019 (talk) 22:24, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AmberValley2019 You need more than one source. Most reviewers look for at least three independent reliable sources. Given your username I would ask if you work for or represent the Council or locality? 331dot (talk) 22:27, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
