April 4

[edit]

Request on 00:37:01, 4 April 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by PetSematary182

[edit]


I've edited and checked the sources on this article twice, with the same reviewer claiming that it relies too much on unreliable sources and isn't notable. I would like to challenge both of these claims. For one thing, the article includes both primary and secondary independent sources, including a published legal case that is noteworthy, a published book that mentions the case, a published magazine, videos and news articles. Secondly, Deborah Gail Stone is a notable figure for a variety of reasons, not merely her death, but also the social impact, legal impact, resurgence of her story in the digital age, and the accident's influence on Disney's decision to improve the safety features on its rides. If the argument the reviewer holds is that Ms. Stone herself is not notable as a person, then I could rename the article to reflect its focus on the case at hand that she was at the centre of rather than a biographical article, but I don't understand why this article keeps getting rejected, as it's been improved multiple times and cites a number of notable secondary sources.

PetSematary182, Quora, Random youtubes, Top 10 lists, findagrave, Instagram... get rid of the junk sourcing. No Reviewer is going to approve an article with bad sourcing. When you have only actual reliable sources, re-submit.Slywriter (talk) 01:09, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Will do, have done, but even at this point, with those sources now removed, that still leaves a number of valid primary and secondary sources, but the reviewer who keeps checking the article had no issue with the "junk" sourcing to begin with. They take issue with the notability of the subject, which seems strange considering that two published books (not self-published either,mind you), an official legal case digest from the state of California, a non-tabloid magazine, a news company and a filmmaker have all contributed coverage to the case extending beyond merely just a brief mention, whether Instagram, YouTube, Quora and all those other now-removed sources needed not to have applied. I've looked over what defines "notable" on Wikipedia when it comes to both historic cases and biographies of people, and this subject matter fits the criteria but for a few issues with the validity of contemporary sources, the majority of which, as you advised, have now been removed.

@PetSematary182: This falls under WP:1E as being known for a single event, but whether or not that one event is enough, the incident is also written about in America Sings#Deborah Gail Stone Incident. Perhaps do a redirect and improve that content instead? TechnoTalk (talk) 18:34, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi, Academician Ljupčo Kocarev, as a President of Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts is clearly a relevant public person, so we will be grateful if someone correct or improve (Draft) article about him for English Wikipedia. Thanks!Academician.NYAS (talk) 09:47, 4 April 2022 (UTC) Academician.NYAS (talk) 09:47, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Academician.NYAS: I think your best chance to show notability is WP:NSCHOLAR, and the Google Scholar citations help. On the other hand, posting his writings about a political issue don't demonstrate notability, and clutter up the source section, per WP:OVERCITE. You need to include what others write about him. Has anyone written about him and discussed his political views? TechnoTalk (talk) 18:24, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I agree. You may edit all parts you think necessary. On my side I will not intervene on this Wikipedia with respect o this person any more. Besides, I am an amateur in editing. Some Macedonian editors should continue with any process left regarding the article. Sorry for any hardship or trouble. Best Regards, Academician.NYAS (talk) 20:11, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hello, I am asking if my wikipedia page is ready to be resubmitted. The original edit request regarded a copy-pasted list of 20 key ideas that are essential to the page's subject. While the 20 lines were copy and pasted, I deleted them and resubmitted. The page was reviewed again and I was told that the Revdel was not completed. I must have done something incorrectly. Can you please tell me 1) if it is okay to quote from the source page (https://objectparadise.com/Manifesto) or 2) if I must delete this info (which I have), why the page has been declined again? Thank you.

@Tykosay: After a quick review of the sources, there's little that suggests the organization meets Wikipedia's standard for notability. Please see WP:GNG. You want the sources to be less of what the organization and its partners write about it, and more about what independent writers write about it. TechnoTalk (talk) 18:00, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
