What websites would qualify to help the page get approved? There is only one interview to draw from as the subject typically strays away from interviews and features. The main sources used to verify information have been their iMDB and involvement in Inspired Success Magazine. Wwwww11114 (talk) 06:34, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wwwww11114: there are no 'websites' that would magically get a draft approved. You need to cite 3+ sources that meet the WP:GNG standard for notability. You also need to make sure that pretty much everything you say is backed up by a reliable source, which currently isn't the case. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:22, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Geoffrey Brooks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I created a Wikipedia page Geoffrey Brooks in the month of July 2023 and have been closely monitoring its progress.

Initially, the submission for "Geoffrey Brooks" at Articles for Creation was accepted, as indicated in my user talk page. However, I later observed that the page was moved to the draft stage with the URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Geoffrey_Brooks. The comment accompanying this action was: "The first footnotes in this draft don't contain references to sources; they contain bare, meaningless references. --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 19:04, 2 November 2023 (UTC)".

I promptly addressed the concerns highlighted in the comment by making necessary amendments and improvements to the references on December 2. I would greatly appreciate an update on the current status of the page. Could you please provide guidance or any additional steps required to move the draft for Geoffrey Brooks to the next stage of review?

Your assistance in this matter is immensely appreciated, and I eagerly await your response. Thank you for your time and support. Nirmal Madhavan (talk) 07:13, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nirmal Madhavan: the current status is that this draft has not been resubmitted since it was moved back to drafts, and is therefore not at present pending review. Would you like me to submit it for you?

Please note, I have posted a message on your talk page querying your relationship with the subject. Please read it, and respond as relevant. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:20, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, You can now submit it. Nirmal Madhavan (talk) 07:32, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the 3rd draft that I sent in and I don't know how I could improve it DavidDetson (talk) 10:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DavidDetson: I declined this, because there is no evidence that the subject is notable; the draft is also written in a promotional tone. (Subsequently another editor has also requested speedy deletion.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:39, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PS: A message has been posted on your talk page asking you to disclose any conflict of interest you may have. You haven't responded to this yet; please do so now. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:İstiklal Makzume Anadolu Lisesi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

My draft Draft:İstiklal_Makzume_Anadolu_Lisesi was declined for the second time due to WP:GNG. At the same time my deletion nomination for Heritage High School (Brentwood, California) was reverted, citing WP:NEXIST. I am confused. Does Wikipedia have different standards for existing articles vs. new articles? Or is it due to differing opinions between editors? Any clarification or feedback for improving the draft would be appreciated. Gorkem80 Jacona ToadetteEdit (talk) 19:52, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see other stuff exists; each article or draft is individually considered on its own merits. If you feel that policies have not been properly applied to your draft or with your PROD, please discuss that with the editors involved. All volunteers here try to do their best, but ultimately we are all different people with different perspectives. 331dot (talk) 20:02, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it is not about other stuff exists, it is about two recent decisions, which I think are not compatible. I tried to tag the two editors, did I do it correctly? Can they see the discussion and comment on it? Gorkem80 (talk) 20:09, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think you tagged them correctly, but it is probably best to approach them on their user talk pages directly and explain why you think they did not properly apply policies. 331dot (talk) 21:16, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

Comment left by the reviewer is unfounded. They cited a conflict of interest. I know the subject of the article purley because they are a community leader/ public servant within the area I live. This isn't a conflict of interest. The subject is a local political figure. Joshpaynesays (talk) 21:07, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you are saying you have no connection to him other than him being the mayor of your community, okay, but the issues with the draft remain. 331dot (talk) 21:12, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your only contributions here since May are related to Situ so it is reasonable to ask you to take a look at WP:COI. Either way, nothing suggests Situ can meet the notability criteria. S0091 (talk) 21:25, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
