00:43:01, 3 February 2022 review of draft by Jesus Chameleon

The subject, "Paul St. Blaise" is all over the news. Just google it and it will appear in the "News" section of the browser.

Additionally, the subject has just officially released a first CD on CD Baby. How can this be included in a citation to enhance notability?

Also, should membership in professional organizations be cited? Does this enhance the subject of an article's notability?

@Jesus Chameleon: We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every claim that could potentially be challenged for any justifiable reason MUST be cited to in-depth third-party sources with editorial oversight that corroborates that claim. If no such sources can be found, the content must be removed. This is a hard requirement when writing about living or recently-departed people on Wikipedia and is NOT NEGOTIABLE. All of your sources cite nothing in the article itself, instead being frontloaded onto empty space. In addition, your sources are unusable - two are press releases (useless for notability - connexion to subject) and the third is 404-compliant. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 03:02, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All subscribe to the rules; it is not necessary to reiterate what we all know. One needs a more experienced editor who knows the proper use of PR in the making of News Stories! I need the following questions to be properly addressed. Again,

"The subject, "Paul St. Blaise" is all over the news. Just google it and it will appear in the "News" section of the browser.

"Additionally, the subject has just officially released a first CD on CD Baby. How can this be included in a citation to enhance notability?

"Also, should membership in professional organizations be cited? Does this enhance the subject of an article's notability?"

Thank you and may God bless you! --Jesus Chameleon (talk) 03:56, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jesus Chameleon:, Jéské Couriano is one of our most experienced article reviewers to dismiss what they have to say is a mistake. If there are so many news stories that are written about the subject use them to base the article on, then cite them. Unless the CD has been certified gold then he can release cds all day long and it would not improve their notability, nor does professional memberships. The only thing that will prove they are notable are the items listed in WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO and WP:NMUSIC. We are not here to act as his personal PR team, nor do we care what his PR team has to say.

@Jesus Chameleon:, for the record, my news section comes up blank when I google and releasing a CD means nothing. Anyway, Mcmatter has covered quite succinctly how much wikipedia cares about PR. Wikipedia covers "the big thing", not "the next big thing". Get yourself famous or certified gold and someone unconnected will likely create an article. Until then, you are wasting everyone's time trying to get a vanity article published. Also may want to read WP:AUTO as should an article ever be published, you will have zero control of content. Finally, should you wish to continue on this endeavor, please comply with WP:COI and properly declare that you are connected to the subject, as writing about yourself is an inherent conflict of interest.Slywriter (talk) 04:44, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jesus Chameleon: We're not a news website, and we don't accept PR as it's always going to have a direct connexion to the subject. Telling us to use Google to do the work you should have already done is like handing us a magnet and telling us to sort through a barn filled to the brim with hay to find a bone sewing needle, as 95% of what Google pulls up we can't use for one reason or another (And Google News comes up blank for an exact-string search on the name, as Slywriter says). As you have not demonstrated Notability as Wikipedia defines the term, I'm not entertaining the other two questions because they don't help a whit for notability. Lastly, keep your God, He wants me dead. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 18:12, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Indian sword (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

My draft with good quality of reliable sources, created after Japanese sword and Korean sword.

Seems like a no-brainer that it meets the necessary criteria of wiki article creation policies.

Can you guys approve it? 122.170.71.79 (talk) 04:36, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. A good start. You may want to look at improving it by time period the way that Chinese swords have been.Naraht (talk) 09:13, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! 122.170.71.79 (talk) 09:24, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you may want to actually create an account, some of the tools that I like to use require an account. But if you don't that's fine as well.Naraht (talk) 13:05, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am new on Wikipedia and I am into politics. I am interested to show my details to general public who interested to see.

Hi SagarVijayGhatole. That is not what the encyclopedia is for. Unlike Facebook, LinkedIn, or other social media sites, Wikipedia is not a place to write about yourself. You may wish to consider alternative outlets for your writing. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:31, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

Hi! Just looking for more information on what type of changes are needed to improve my draft article? I added a few more 'weighty' references, from the New York Times and ESPN, ahead of a further review, but is this enough? In general, is there something I'm missing?

NutsOnTheFlop (talk) 16:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NutsOnTheFlop. ESPN contains a single sentence about GGPoker: "The international series was hosted on GGPoker.com after the coronavirus pandemic forced the traditional World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas to be postponed." The New York Times goes only slightly deeper, adding two sentences about when it launched and what countries it's connected to. So what you're missing is significant coverage that would demonstrate that the topic is notable (suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). That also may be part of the reason the draft reads like an advertisement. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:28, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the reliability of pokerfuse.com is questionable. Its website says, "Want to be a guest writer and promote your site, blog or service?". The cited article is by one of the 8 staff writers, which may make it better. But no editor is named, so it isn't clear what degree of editorial oversight there is, if any. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:53, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
