09:00:48, 31 January 2022 review of draft by Arunudoy | Requesting re-scan

[edit]


A former Director General level Police Officer, with the charge of the Chief of a state's Intelligence branch, Mr. Bhattacharyya definitely has enough citations to pass WP:GNG. Kindly help me to expand/edit the page. This Police officer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyanendra_Pratap_Singh is too junior than Pallab Bhattacharyya is listed well and none complains. Police officers are usually listed in Wiki as per their TOP rankings, instead of interview sources. (Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Allan_(police_officer)) I would be happy if 2 or 3 Editors peform a thorough look. -- Arunudoy (talk) 09:00, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Arunudoy. The number of citations is a poor measure. It takes only three to demonstrate notability, but there needs to be significant coverage of Bhattacharyya. Examining 10% of the references at random, all are primary sources, and none of them address him in detail:
  • "Pallab Bhattacharyya also addressed the gathering and said that the selected Home Guards personnel would be entrusted with work very soon."
  • "The other members include ... Pallav Bhattacharya ..."
  • "Assam’s Additional Director General of Police (Special Branch) Pallab Bhattacharya had a week ago warned of a bid by Islamist organisations such as Hizb-ul-Mujahideen to strike during the festive season."
  • "said Pallab Bhattacharya, Assam Police additional DG (special branch)."
Citation bombing the draft with worthless brief mentions like these is toxic to the draft's chance of acceptance. Eliminate all such references to make the better ones (if any) stand out.
Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and poor quality articles. The existence of an article does not mean it should exist. It may only mean that no one has gotten around to deleting it yet. So generally it isn't productive to compare a draft to other pages. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. When discussing whether a draft is acceptable for publication, it's safer to argue from policies and guidelines. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:57, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Worldbruce I have made major edits to the Draft. Can you check now please? Can you guide me in checking Draft whether I am going/doing it in the proper way or not? --Arunudoy (talk) 09:19, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would like to ask more senior Editors and Admins to attend. Regards --Arunudoy (talk) 10:49, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why my article not published

Akbalusu The reviewers have left messages on your draft telling you the reason. In short, your draft is completely unsourced. Wikipedia is not a place to just tell about someone; a Wikipedia article about a person must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Wikipedia has a strict policy when writing about living people that all information must be sourced, though all articles must have sources. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 09:26, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

wtf?

Your draft Draft:SEO Analiz Google Sıralama Yarışması is not a potential article, it has been rejected. Theroadislong (talk) 16:20, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User5305: Your "article" is a single link repeated three times. This would be a "no context" deletion if it were in mainspace. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 21:34, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Elysium99: This is a matter for the Arabic-language Wikipedia, if you're translating it for that. (Policies and rules differ between the various Wikipedia projects.) —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 23:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
