10:59:40, 8 February 2023 review of draft by STolliver2

[edit]


Hi! This article was rejected for publication and the reason given was a lack of references. The article did have four. Are these not enough? Are they not seen as valid? Thank you for any guidance you can offer!

STolliver2 (talk) 10:59, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

STolliver2 That's not exactly why it was rejected; the sources offered are announcements of routine business activities, which does not establish that the company meets our special definition of a notable company. An article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company. "Significant coverage" goes beyond merely documenting the activities of the company, and go into detail about what is significant or influential about the company. 331dot (talk) 15:23, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

14:08:45, 8 February 2023 review of draft by B3green22

[edit]


Hi there! My draft was rejected because there aren't enough sources linked in the History section. While I do understand the concern, I'd like to get suggestions on how to move forward with the page given that we do not have links for that section. That's just the history of how the company was founded.

Thank you!

Quite simply, if there are no sources then the content can't be on Wikipedia. Articles require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic" (see WP:42). Theroadislong (talk) 14:19, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
B3green22 To add to that, Wikipedia is not interested in what a company considers to be its own history, Wikipedia is interested in what others unaffiliated with the company say is its history. 331dot (talk) 15:20, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I submitted a page on sales network monetization, and the article was rejected almost immediately. I wasn't given any reason. Can you help me understand why it was rejected? Paulkleen (talk) 21:25, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 22:01:59, 8 February 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Rafird

[edit]

{{SAFESUBST:Void| How come my new page wasn’t accepted? How absurd.

Hello, Rafird. Not at all absurd. An acceptable Wikipedia article summarizes the significant coverage that published independent reliable sources devote to the topic, and those sources need to be included in the draft article as references. Vast swathes of your draft are unreferenced, your only reference is of little use, and your draft therefore violates the core content policies of Verifiability and No original research. Please read and study Your first article. Cullen328 (talk) 22:09, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Rafird. This seems like a really interesting article, which I've now added to my watchlist after having across this review request. It's quite clear to me that the article needs referencing, but if references can be found for much of the article, and especially her opposition to the American occupation, then it should be fairly easy to prove WP:GNG and WP:V. If you don't know how to reference an article, but can help me find the Spanish-language references, perhaps you can post the links on the talk page of the draft, and then I can add the references for you. _MB190417_ (talk) 00:10, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
