editCould you finally tell me why my submission was rejected ? I will be happy to make the changes needed (but frankly, I do not understand why it is so difficult to find this page).

- I am having some difficulty finding the submission. What user account did you use when you submitted it? DGG ( talk ) 03:58, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Richey International
editHi and thanks for your help. I've submitted an article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Richey International, Ltd., and it has come back a couple times, once for being overly promotional and the need for more verifiable third-party citations. I agree it was not objective enough, and have changed it now - I wrote the entry about this company while writing a book on hotel history and was very surprised at the depth and breadth of its impact on luxury hotels for about thirty years or so. Not sure I understand the need for even more outside references - there are several listed, spanning over twenty years, and includes two books, one of which is by a college professor. Having read the notoriety and verifiability standards, I though the article worked, but it's my first one. Apologies for the inconvenience. IntentionalExcellence (talk) 01:42, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- It would help judge it if you could provide a short one-sentence key quote from each of the books, which I assume you have at hand. It's not required, but it does help. DGG ( talk ) 03:51, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
I have created one article. But it has been rejected. I have redone the referencing but some of the section that are visible on editing are not visible on reading. Can you help me? wikipedia talk:Articles for cration/Heera Singh Rana — Preceding unsigned comment added by Girdhar.joshi (talk • contribs) 06:15, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have fixed that for you with this edit. The problem was that you had used \ instead of / and therefore a reference was not being closed, thus hiding some of the content. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 09:49, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi There,
My article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Gustav_Alexander
Was rejected. Why? I have put in a reference to the source.
The reason I am creating this entry is because the Gustav Alexander in this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrosse_at_the_1908_Summer_Olympics
Is not the one in the link. The real one is this one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Gustav_Alexander
Source: [1]
I know this because the real Gustav is my Great Grandfather.
Is this enough to get the article published? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaulAGH (talk • contribs) 13:50, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jeff Schneider On Feb. 28th an earlier version of an article for creation was reviewed see User:Jeff Schneider/sandbox ? My concern is that I noticed a sub-note on this updated version submitted for review that a Jeff Schneider article exists and Please verify that it is not a copy of this submission and that this page does not need to be moved to a different title. I know there is a backlog for reviews I'm just not sure if the article to be reviewed is the correct article. Thank You.(Jeff Schneider 14:23, 11 March 2014 (UTC)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwsstudios (talk • contribs)
- Hi Jeff. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jeff Schneider is currently submitted for review and User:Jeff Schneider/sandbox is not.
- Jeff Schneider is an article about an unrelated baseball player, so if your article submission is accepted then the reviewer will move the new article to an appropriate page name.
- You should also read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 14:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I've created page in my sandbox that has been waiting for review for two weeks. As far as I can tell it meets all the notability requirements, is balanced and has no major flaws that would stop it from being accepted. Is there any way I can speed up this review process? Article is Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chief Culture Officer . Thanks Smoothintellect (talk) 15:26, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- It looks like you still only have two independent sources that discuss the book, which for many reviewers may not be enough. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 15:41, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello. I was trying to make an article on Canadian Actress and Singer Kira Tozer and it got rejected twice. I worked very hard on this and added one reference from the About Me page on her it's very hard to find a source about her and I need all the help. Is About Me a reliable source? If not, I understand. Here's the link to the draft. [2] - FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 18:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hello FilmandTVFan28- Welcome to the Articles for Creation Help desk. I visit your draft and found that notability of the subject has not been established. Subject requires significant coverage in wp:secondary, wp:independent and wp:reliable sources. See, Wikipedia reliable source guideline and Wikipedia reliable source examples. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 23:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- That's just the problem. Finding reliable sources about Kira is like finding a needle in a haystack. So far, the only improvements I just made on the draft are adding an IMDB link and a link to her Twitter account. - FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 04:26, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hello again FilmandTVFan28- Unfortunately none of them help to establish notability of the subject. IMDb is not considered a reliable source and Twitter is a self-published primary source. See, Wikipedia reliable source guideline and Wikipedia reliable source examples. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 11:21, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Morris S. Levy Was wondering why the article I submitted "Morris S. Levy" was rejected and what needs to be addressed in order to have it approved.

Hi,
I was wondering if you could tell me specifically what specifically reads like an advertisement in this submitted article? I would like to edit and resubmit, but I am unclear as to what in the article seems like soliciting.
