Hi, please see Wikipedia:NBLP where it shows the type of sources you may need to prove that he is notable. Furthermore this isn't the place to request others to continue your draft for you. — Karnataka ^talk 05:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Adding my Biography (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

How do I add my own Biography in Wikipedia Jafar Jikamshi (talk) 09:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jafar Jikamshi Ideally, you do not. You need social media. This ia an encyclopaedia 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 10:00, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But I have account in so many social Media Platforms like Facebook, twitter, Instagram, Threads. Jafar Jikamshi (talk) 10:03, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a social media platform. This is an encyclopedia about notable topics with criteria for inclusion, and is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. 331dot (talk) 10:26, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jafar Jikamshi Be content. If you are notable in a Wikipedia sense then wait for someone to write about you. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 10:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't quite understand what is wrong with me, can you please help me Dalmartahlil (talk) 10:26, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dalmartahlil The subject has to satisfy WP:BIO.

For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 10:49, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why my article has been declined? Please specify the reasons.

HORSEMAN843 (talk) 12:25, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HORSEMAN843 I fixed your link. Your draft was deleted as blatant promotion. It was full of promotional language about his "journey", being a "distinguished figure", and much more. Articles should be written without embellishments, with a neutral point of view. Please read Your First Article.

Are you associated with him in some way? 331dot (talk) 13:12, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How to link another person to identify me? Dthaokip2023 (talk) 14:53, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Dthaokip2023. I am not sure what you are asking, but you appear to be trying to write an article about yourself. This is strongly discouraged, see Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Your current draft was declined as you have provided zero sources that prove that you meet our strict Wikipedia:Notability (people) requirements. Only persons who meet that threshold can have an article on Wikipedia.

Let us know if you have specific questions, Qcne (talk) 18:24, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dthaokip2023 Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. Any article about you must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about you, showing how you meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Autobiographical articles, while not forbidden, are highly discouraged, please read WP:AUTO. 331dot (talk) 18:26, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i just want my first article to be accepted please just submit it Austria10 (talk) 15:15, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Austria10: This is the wrong page to ask the question in that form as you are pointing to you user page. If you want to ask for advise on the article Draft:String quintet, C then the first thing you need to do is follow the links and advise given in the declined notification there. Please don't repost the draft article in your WP:user pages, as you appear to have done, because that is the place to tell other editors about yourself and your editing interests but is not a self-promotional page. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 16:05, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

that was supposed to be the first version of the draft and plus I din dint know what I was even doing Austria10 (talk) 16:08, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

sorry 8( Austria10 (talk) 16:10, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't know what you are doing, I would suggest reading Help:Your first article closely, which will hopefully be of some help. Qcne (talk) 18:22, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

JUST APROVE IT OR I WILL DO SOMETHING NOT NICE Austria10 (talk) 18:47, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We obviously take threats incredibly seriously and I have no choice but to report you to the Wikipedia administrators. Qcne (talk) 18:53, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I object to the implication that the sources used in this article are not reputable or that the subject is only mentioned in passing. I see no evidence supporting these claims. The sources used in the creation of this article are highly regarded in the entertainment industry and the subject in question is mentioned on multiple occasion as a playing a pivotal roll in every project mentioned. Please reconsider this rejection as the subject of this article has multiple projects releasing in the next several months, as stated in the articles cited. 2600:6C50:47F:6C9D:A93B:DACA:B5F8:25D9 (talk) 18:22, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was only declined, not rejected. Rejected has a specific meaning here, that a draft may not be resubmitted.

Much of the prose in the draft is unsourced. 331dot (talk) 18:31, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
