i need help on this listed article in my sandbox @Henrich1992 1992: Howdy hello! I see that you have deleted the content in your sandbox, you may wish to restore it. I looked at an old version of it, and the issue is you need more sources to show that he is notable. If he has only been covered for being in a Forbes list and getting an award, that is usually not enough. You need to show more concretely why he meets some element of the notability guidelines for people. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:49, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I tried to publish an entry about a documentary we made about Veganism. It has been declined because they say it seems more like an advertisment than a wikipedia entry. Could you tell me where it appears that way? I would love to rewrite it to wikipedia terms but I'm not sure where it went wrong.

Thank you so much!

Well for starters, you appear to have a conflict of interest here. Please read that link, and disclose any conflicts. Additionally, if you have been paid in any way to write this article, you must disclose that per WP:PAID.
With all the formalities out of the way, heres the nitty-gritty. The narrative section is the ad part. We are an encyclopedia, where facts are presented neutrally. That section needs to be re-written or broken into parts, should not use promotional language, and read formally. You may wish to look at March of the Penguins for an example of how to properly write and format an article about a documentary.
Please also read referencing for beginners about how to properly use and format references. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:17, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tony lee southside RingaT, Writing an autobiography is strongly discouraged. Furthermore, any article must be supported by reliable sources. 3 good sources is a minimum, think newspapers, books, magazines, media outlets, that sort of thing.

My article was declined because it isn't "sufficiently notable for inclusion". It's an article about a book, if admittedly not very detailed yet. How exactly is it not sufficiently notable? It has references and everything. Storm1492 (talk) 17:33, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Storm1492, Howdy hello! We can't cover just anything on Wikipedia, and that's why we have a set of notability guidelines. For books, that generally means you need 3 reviews in reliable sources, or to have made a best seller list. If you can prove that this book meets those requirements, please do, and resubmit it. If not, alas we cannot cover it, but I invite you to Wikipedia:WikiProject Books, where you can contribute to other cool articles about books.

Request on 18:47:01, 21 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Khecken edit


Our company Zomaron has recently rebranded to Paystone. I tried to update our Zomaron Wikipedia article to rename to Paystone or "move" to Paystone, however, I was not able to do this because I am not an autoconfirmed user so I do not have the "move" option when I edit. Instead, I submitted a new article for Paystone and it was not accepted. Instead, they said that it should be added to the Zomaron article and the Zomaron article should be renamed or moved. Could you please advise me on how to do this since I do not have the permissions? Can I provide proof of my title at the company or can I submit a ticket to have to moved to Paystone?

Khecken (talk) 18:47, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Khecken, For starters, you need to read our conflict of interest and paid editing guidelines. In short: you are being paid, even if not directly, to make these edits. You must disclose that fact by following the steps at WP:PAID.
If the company has changed its name, we need news coverage of that. Otherwise, we can't report it because it isn't verifiable. If you can find such evidence, then leave a note on the Zomaron talk page asking for the change to be made. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:44, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

19:20:05, 21 November 2019 review of submission by Howenstein115 edit

Article was rejected even after I added 3 neutral sources. By "neutral", that is not affiliated with the company. If this is not good enough, then I'd say the following articles should also have been rejected: Hammer Bowling, Track International, and Columbia Industries. I modeled the Storm Products article after these, and they have much fewer (or no) neutral citations than mine. Howenstein115 (talk) 19:20, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just a passing by note that those three articles are very poorly sourced even with the recent additions, and I they wouldn't be likely to pass an AfC/AfD today with just those. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 20:42, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what else to add. This page is for someone I know and they asked me to put it up, thats all the info we are going to post about him. Let me know if there is something I can do to get this published.
