Confused - Finished Draft of Article, Published Changes, Now What?

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hello - Earlier this week, I created a draft page for 'John Imah' and clicked Publish Changes. Does that mean the page is waiting to be reviewed/approved? If not, can you advise if there's another step I need to take to have it submitted for review?

I appreciate your assistance. Thank you!

Your submission at Articles for creation: John Imah (February 21)

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Huon were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

None of the reliable sources are more than a passing mention; even taken together there's not one sentence about Imah himself. The tone is inappropriate for an encyclopedia article and blatantly promotes Imah.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:John Imah and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:John Imah, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

"PR" usually stands for "public relations". I assume you're aware of that. Can you thus comment on your username, please? Do you work in PR? Are you writing about your client(s) on Wikipedia? If so, you'll need to disclose that. Huon (talk) 23:28, 21 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Crywryterpr. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "John Imah".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Ə XPLICIT 09:30, 15 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
