00:27:57, 20 February 2020 review of draft by 2metiger edit


Is the issue that he is not notable enough to be included? Also, I would review the Wikipedia list of notable dentists- that is where the link to Dr. Richard Mounce was located.

Thanks!

We don't judge whether or not someone is notable, we judge whether or not the sources denote notability. I would concern yourself with your article instead of worrying about others. In particular I would recommend reading the linked pages in the declines of your draft to understand what it is you need to do. Sulfurboy (talk) 01:45, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

05:20:28, 20 February 2020 review of draft by Sandrah.Akol edit


Hello I wrote an article about Ntinda Vocational Training Institute last year but it was linked to article of Ntinda, I started creating from fresh but it has been declined many times. am writing about a vocational school in Africa (Uganda) that has existed few years back ( 2 years) and the challenge I face most is the type of reliable independent sources you have consistently talked about, but I believe this article is not of any form meant to advertise the institute, but to help fellow young men and women of Africa get to realize the need for vocational training. For any help about this article feel free to help but I request if you could help publish it. thank you--Sandrah.Akol (talk) 05:20, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sandrah.Akol: I've moved your article back to draft space, since you moved it into article space without changing anything. Unfortunately, Wikipedia needs reliable sources to prove notability. They don't have to be in English, or online, but they do need to exist. As noble as your intent is, this is not a place to promote anything. shoy (reactions) 14:52, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Raizada.ashish87 (talk) 06:56, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Raizada.ashish87, No need to compliment us or give platitudes, that doesn't increase your chances of success. The reason your draft was declined is two fold. The first: it had no references. Wikipedia articles require referencing to reliable sources (see WP:ERB for a good how to guide). Second: the subject doesn't seem notable. We only write about folks who are notable. For actors, that usually means that they have had a long career of minor to medium roles, or had a big film role. This person does not seem to meet our notability guidelines. And as a last note, the article is also quite informal and not written to the standards we have on Wikipedia. Our writing must be neutral and formal. So bottom line: unless you can show that this guy meets some part of the actor notability guidelines, we cannot have an article on him. If you reply, do so on my talk page else I will not see it.

Hi David,

Greetings.

I hope you are doing great and you guys are giving world's best service called "Wiki". I really appreciate the effort of Mr. Jimmy Wales, who really work hard to give people who they really need, which was "Information". My case is also like same. I really just spread information about Punjabi actors and actresses, who are famous in Punjabi box office called pollywood but no one knows about their past or journey. I just want to spread some information about those guys. This is my first post on Wiki. after this I will upload another character who is a famous film director in pollywood. He has made 3 movies and 5 web series, but few peoples know about him. Only few platforms are providing such strength to spread relevant information with others and wiki is one of them. Rest are spreading spams and vulgar things. So that why my faith is in wikipedia.

I hope,I am at the right path. If not so please correct me.

Warm regards, Ashish Raizada

09:35:00, 20 February 2020 review of submission by Gostaresh Tarahan Naghsh Almas edit


Dear sir/madame,

The article that I have tried to add is a well-known company based in Iran. What information do I need to add so that it becomes worthy of being an independent article?

Thank you very much. Gostaresh Tarahan Naghsh Almas (talk) 09:35, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]


12:36:18, 20 February 2020 review of draft by Sharmo96 edit 

Hello, I recently thought that I could come to Wikipedia with open arms however apparently this seems to not be the case. Other users harass and reject your ideas. I even had my personal page “deleted” because another user disagreed with the content... It was about me, tell me that I’m not notable??? Go bloody google me. I put out the good and the bad, Wikipedia advises against personal publications only if you are going to be putting out a biased based view. It should not be be up to other users to decide what is or isn’t worthy. This is just another platform for other people to bring others down and exclude whom ever they wish. Take your high class website and shove it... Have a great bloody day!

Sharmo96 (talk) 12:36, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sharmo96. Draft:Ryan Sharman has not been submitted for review. The technical problem is extraneous wiki markup around the curly braces of the submit template. If you're using VisualEditor you may need to switch to the source code editor to see it.
There is no point in submitting the draft, however, because it cites no sources (no books, no academic journal articles, no newspaper articles, etc.) about Sharman. Everything added to Wikipedia must be verifiable in published reliable sources. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of their topic, to show that the topic merits an encyclopedia article. No draft will be accepted without such sources. A second fundamental problem is that Wikipedia, unlike Facebook or LinkedIn, is not a place to write about yourself. I've left more information about that on your talk page. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I posted a helpful comment on your draft "No evidence that you pass WP:GNG" as you have no sources at all and all drafts require sourcing. You have not submitted the draft for review yet. You have attacked me instead on my talk page with "You’re a bully hiding behind a screen. Get real mate, you’re not the Wikipedia police. Why don’t you just start minding your own business." Attacking other users will not help you get an article about yourself, only reliable sources will do that. Theroadislong (talk) 10:31, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

12:53:30, 20 February 2020 review of draft by Philjones2510 edit


I have attempted to edit the article in response to the reviewer's comments. I am looking for some help to see whether I'm on the right track with the changes I've made.

If possible, any specific examples of non-neutral content or non-encyclopedic tone would be very helpful and much appreciated.

And if there are any other issues I've overlooked, please would you be so kind as to indicate specific paragraphs or sentences?

Many thanks in advance.

Request on 14:59:19, 20 February 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by AmericanDirectory edit


The article is most needed from the nigerian community.

  • Since your first article was about Damarea Leah Ogbuewu then you started edits about "Princess Damarea Ogbuewu" with a birthday that matches this blogger it looks like you probably writing about yourself. You have not provided a single reliable source to show this person even exists. Wikipedia articles are for notable people. KylieTastic (talk) 15:15, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

17:05:29, 20 February 2020 review of submission by CBlincoe edit

I would like to make my content comply with Wikipedia and I note that there are Categories of "Food Brands of the United Kingdom" and Penguin (biscuit) that are very similar to what I am trying to publish. I am struggling to categorise my entry accordingly. Please can you give me some suggestions on how I can make the article more acceptable for publication? CBlincoe (talk) 17:05, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@CBlincoe: First of all, each article here is judged on its own merits. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Penguin (biscuit) looks like a poor example of an article to me. It probably should be part of the article on its parent company. Since Wikipedia is a big place served by volunteers, not everything gets cleaned up immediately. Secondly, none of the sources that you have provided show significant coverage of the brand, they are all passing mentions which do nothing to establish notability. Harry Campbell is notable (we even have an article on him) but unless you have some much better sources that you haven't shared, Bickiepegs are not notable. Your effort would be better spent improving Campbell's article than trying to create a new one. shoy (reactions) 15:06, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

17:35:22, 20 February 2020 review of submission by MisterGamerNL edit


Can somebody please help me with this article? I am willing to pay for it. I am very sick and i want this article to be public. I am a noob with editing this draft.

For the one who will help me with this, thank you in advance.

MisterGamerNL (talk) 17:35, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No reliable independent sources and as the rejection tag says, "this topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. No amount of editing will change that. Theroadislong (talk) 17:46, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It needs independent commentary saying that they're a significant and notable musician. Read WP:MUSICBIO. Take a look at some other similar articles: It's not a high bar to meet, coverage in Discogs is often seen to meet it, but just Spotify counts definitely don't.

I need to pay someone to help me asap DeCharia (talk) 18:39, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • No DeCharia you do not need to pay anyone - the subject is just not notable in Wikipedias terms. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 18:58, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 19:37:52, 20 February 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Jingleman2 edit


I do not understand your not excepting. It is the exact format as Frank Simms and several others including Sundance Head, and others from the Voice who do not have ANY published sources. everything I did is as accurate as one can get and NOT just passing mentions. Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Simms. If you need others who are set up exactly the same [lease let me know. ALL of which have been published! Jingleman2 (talk) 19:37, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jingleman2, Be careful about comparing your article to existing ones. Many of the articles on Wikipedia were created before we began the rigorous Article for Creation process. That means a lot of ...honestly junk articles were created, and many of them have slipped through the cracks. You can read more about the logical fallacies involved in article comparison at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The Frank Simms article is...pretty bad. And likely to be deleted because its not notable.
For your draft, you need to prove notability. Specifically, please check out the musician notability guidelines and tell us how Dan Shafer meets our guidelines. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 02:29, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
