16:20:56, 2 December 2018 review draft by MatthewGamer edit
Why did my articles not give good information, they were private technology's information. I mean why would you leave my articles (AMKTech Beta 1, AMKTech Beta 2, AMKTech Versions) brought through everybody else? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MatthewTheGreatestGamer (talk • contribs) 08:21, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, my draft keeps getting rejected. It says that the subject already exists with a link to Cupid Media, however, Cupid Media is a parent company to 36 other websites, each of the 36 sites has it's own unique history and should have it's own page. I was trying to do a separate page for Filipino Cupid.

- Exists. Your topic is just a product of Cupid Media and in fact all the Cupid sites look pretty much the same. The geographic distinctions are just marketing. The daughter sites have trival history not at all seperate from the company. Legacypac (talk) 01:46, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Could you please let me know which sources are considered to be reliable as I have linked the article to local French Newspaper - Nice Matin. What else do I need to do in order to make the article strong enough to publish?

Hi,
I am unable to submit the below article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rahulpb
Please help on how to complete the submission.
- Hi Rahulpb. There is now, in a box at the top of the draft, a blue button that, you may click to submit the draft for review. Before you do that you may to study Wikipedia:Your first article and especially Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners, and make corrections accordingly. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:04, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Malek404 (talk) 09:25, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hello @Malek404: - there are a few legitimate grounds on which your article was declined (even discounting the most recent from a now blocked editor). As a living person, the draft must provide inline references for any potentially controversial fact. As the draft currently stands, there aren't any inline citations after the first paragraph of the "Early Life" section.
- Additionally, your references don't meet the "Significant Coverage, Reliable, Independent" triple need - there are some useful links to it in the decline templates in the draft. Nosebagbear (talk) 18:57, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

They are saying, If you need extra help, please ask us a question. This is third time I am adding my request (for opinions) here.. Previous 2 requests were ignored Farooqahmadbhat (talk) 16:53, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

17:39:32, 29 November 2018 review of draft by Dfarino edit
I have tried to submit my bio page titled Rob Gershon several times. I referenced as much as I possibly could and it is still being rejected. What more can I do to publish this page?
Dfarino (talk) 17:39, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Dfarino: - hi there. There are two critical facets that will lead to your article being declined until resolved.
- One is the general absence of sufficent sourcing - sources must be in-depth, reliable and independent secondary sources. This means that the website of the company he works for is not suitable for proving notability (though it can support non-controversial facts in the article). Newspapers (online or otherwise), journals, books etc are good potential sources.
- Once you have found some good sources, as a living person, where a higher level of reliability is required, needs inline sources to back up each use of any fact that isn't completely non-controversial. Have a look at referencing for beginners and Inline citations to learn how to do this. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:05, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

- Do you have a question? Robert McClenon (talk) 20:29, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
- Your submission was rejected. Although the reviewer did not specify why it was rejected, I would have rejected it as marketing, and your user name implies that you are here to do marketing, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Read the conflict of interest policy and make any required disclosures. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:29, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to know why my submission was declined. The page is not being used for promotion and is written with no bias. Help!
72.80.75.70 (talk) 21:00, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
- Comment subject does not appear WP:N notable. It is extra hard to get businesspeople past the notability guideline as many wikipedia editors have a bias against businesspeople (consider it spam/promotion) and for sports people and entertainment people, even though they are also business people marketing themselves as a product.
