I have started over. What would you do next? I appreciate your advice. Thank you. KarenPolka (talk) 02:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi KarenPolka. What I would do before what you've done is find three good sources - independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain in-depth information about the subject. One is [1]. Find at least two more of similar caliber. A recommended structure for biographies is {{Biography}}. Use that structure and the information from the three sources to redo the draft from scratch. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:26, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:KarenPolka - Your draft is not written in the usual style of a Wikipedia article. First, it has no lede sentence introducing its subject. Second, it is written in a breezy informal tone that is not used in Wikipedia, which is an encyclopedia. Third, as noted, it has no references. Read other articles on singers and musicians and see how they are written. Robert McClenon (talk) 10:39, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kamal Devkota (talk) 03:31, 9 January 2018 (UTC) Hello Admins, How can my page would be approved ? could you give some suitable answers please<[reply]

The draft in question is Draft:Nipesh DHAKA. First, follow the advice of the reviewers and add sources, if they exist. However, second, you haven't established that the subject is notable, and, if so, it won't be approved. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:00, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I submitted a sandbox page for a music artiste and it was rejected due to references. The artist has released an EP and has also received lots of radio airplay from big radio stations nation wide in Ghana but there is no online newspaper to reference in this regard. I need help in getting approval. Thanks The DaDi (talk) 12:01, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The references do not have to be online. You can also reference offline newspapers, using {{cite magazine*}} or {{cite news*}}. However, simply having had your songs created and played on radio stations does not make the subject notable. I would also worry that you do not fall foul of WP:COI, as your username is the same as that of the subject's nickname. Please comment that you are not related with the subject before re-submitting the draft. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:05, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why this was rejected? 194.8.88.10 (talk) 17:17, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You will find the reason in the big mustard-colored box on your talk page. It is also in the pink box at the top of the draft and in the comment beneath it. The Globes article is a good start on demonstrating notability, but the brief Calcalist piece, about a non-notable business award from a non-notable organization, does little or nothing to help. Novice editors are usually advised to cite at least three sources of the caliber of the Globes one. Because Eizenman is alive, you'll also need to use inline citations liberally. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:34, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DROZONE (talk) 18:45, 9 January 2018 (UTC) What changes do I need to make to get my Article published?[reply]

I doubt that there are any changes that would make it publishable. The problem is, its subject appears not to be notable. Maproom (talk) 21:56, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
