[edit]02:43, 22 September 2024 review of submission by Thekingemperorofeastica
[edit]Please undelete this draft. It was labeled as a hoax when it is simply a creative work not meant to be deceiving. It was stated multiple times within the draft that it was a fictional work and not a real country, but it was still taken down so i was wondering if someone could work with me here. Thank you!

- Thekingemperorofeastica: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a general web host for fiction. If you want to publish fiction, there are more suitable outlets elsewhere. — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email) 02:51, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Thekingemperorofeastica, wikipedia is not the place for creative works. Please write that on a wiki that is designed for it, like the alt-history wiki or something similar. You'll find there are wiki communities where people are excited about that kind of thing and won't delete it. But here, we are an encyclopedia of facts. -- asilvering (talk) 02:51, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

why does this page keeps getting rejected? Tristanh422 (talk) 13:56, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Tristanh422 you have not proven how this person meets our strict notability requirements. Qcne (talk) 15:10, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- how do I prove that? He's a Youtuber with around 8.18M subs, how many does he needs to have a wikipedia page? Tristanh422 (talk) 22:55, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Please see WP:NBIO. -- asilvering (talk) 04:04, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- He might have 100M or 1: that makes no difference to Wikipedia.
- What matters is whether people who are wholly unconnected with him have chosen to write about him and been published in reliable places. Since Wikipedia is basically not interested in what he or his associates say about him, and everything in an article must be verifiable from reliable published sources, it follows that if nobody unconnected with him has published anything substantial about him, there is literally nothing which can go into an article about him.

[edit]I have provided two links to William Boleyn (archdeacon) from other Wikipedia articles but there has been no change in the status of the above as an orphan. Also I can provide two further links by editing the contents of info boxes but I cannot make a link inside a box or edit within a list or a table.

- @Andrewcliftonpayne, the maintenance tags are removed manually once you have fixed the issue. I have removed the orphan tag for you. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 15:08, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
19:18, 22 September 2024 review of submission by The Anonymous Real
[edit]It got declined, and I have a hard time figuring out why. Yes, I didn't put a lot of information on it, but I used the most generic information and even then spent around a hour and thirty minutes. I'm thinking it got declined because of that, or maybe because they think I was advertising it, for putting links to his stuff, but all I did was do that because that's *his information. It said "speedily deletion", but I doubt Unspeakable, the man himself would strike my page, a fellow fan. The Anonymous Real (talk) 19:18, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- The Anonymous Real You need the "Draft:" portion when linking to your draft, I provided it for you, but your draft was deleted as unambiguous promotion. You did not provide a single independent reliable source to support the content. Any article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. 331dot (talk) 19:53, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
