@Википисатель what is your question? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:47, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing My question is that I wanted to create my first article many times Draft:Rakhmatilla Akhmadjonov, but it was rejected due to some errors. I want you to be able to create or accept an article in the AfC, or correct my mistakes in the article. I was registered in the Uzbek Wikipedia, but despite this, I want to create my first article in the English Wikipedia. If you accepted my article or your friends accepted it, I would be very, very happy with you. This gives me strength to contribute to the article, motivation and improvement of the article. Thank you very much! Википисатель (talk) 06:17, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that's still not a question, but at least we can get started now.
Firstly, your draft was declined, not rejected. This is an important distinction, as it means you can continue working on it, and resubmit when it has been improved.
Secondly, as much as it would give me pleasure to accept a new article, this draft isn't yet ready for that. Don't be discouraged, though; just continue working on it.
Of course, in order for any draft to have a chance of acceptance, it must demonstrate that the subject is notable enough to warrant a place in a global encyclopaedia. This is mostly a question of the quality and quantity of sources: please see the guideline at WP:GNG. Your draft was found lacking in this respect, so you will need to find and cite more and/or better sources.
The draft must also be written in a way which clearly and succinctly describes the subject and explains its significance. Again, your draft needs more work in this area.
Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:33, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing I feel like I can't. I'm not 100% English like you. For me once if you accept my essay. You would do great. In honor of the English Wikipedia, I would like to publish my first article. This is my dream, please accept it for the sake of the Uzbek people. But I promise I will edit well. I'm new in this direction. Thanks you very much!

Rishit.kumar.kundu You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not a place to tell the world about your book. When independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to write about your book, and it can be shown that your book meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable book, it might merit an article, but it does not at this time. 331dot (talk) 09:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rishit.kumar.kundu: you don't ask a question, but your draft has been rejected and won't be considered further. Wikipedia is not the place to promote your book. Come back when at least a couple of notable critics have written a review of it in reliable mainstream media. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please help me with my draft

Shayu.2511 (talk) 12:01, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Shayu.2511: you need to address the reasons why the draft was declined.
The first thing you have to understand is that writing a Wikipedia article isn't a question of you telling what you know about the subject; it's a question of your summarising what independent and reliable sources have said about the subject. So the first thing you need to do is find several such sources, as the sources you have listed so far are not sufficient. See WP:GNG for more detail on what sort of sources are acceptable.
As you go about summarising these sources, you have to cite each source against the information that it supports, so that reviewers and readers know where the information is coming from, and can verify it if needed. This should ideally be done by way of inline citations and footnotes, of which you currently have none. See WP:REFB for advice on referencing.
There are other things to consider also, but these two — namely, notability and referencing — are critical, so deal with them first and foremost. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:22, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lognetics: what is your question? This draft has been rejected, and won't be considered further. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:25, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

what do I need to do differently to get the page accepted? Lognetics (talk) 12:58, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lognetics There is nothing that you can do. No amount of editing can confer notability on a topic. 331dot (talk) 15:15, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

21:16:27, 5 August 2022 review of draft by Imfletch9

[edit]


This article says it was rejected for not having enough sources quoted. But that was the problem listed last time and I went back in and added 8 different sources from extremely reputable outlets: The New York Post, The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, The Montreal Gazeette... so I'm not sure what's missing now. Thanks for your help. Imfletch9 (talk) 21:16, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Imfletch9 There are still unsourced portions of the draft. 331dot (talk) 23:59, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
