You don't ask a question, but the draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 08:25, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello it has been months since i have submitted my article for review. When will it get reviewed? I have corrected everything. WikiSantashines (talk) 08:22, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiSantashines As noted in the box on your draft, "This may take 2 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 3,622 pending submissions waiting for review." There are a limited number of editors that review drafts, and reviews are conducted in no particular order. You will need to continue to be patient. 331dot (talk) 08:25, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting a re review because the earlier user had added many a non essential and incorrect citations due to which the review got cancelled. I desired to start it fresh from scratch and have given many notable links to the person. Will be highly obliged if it is re reviewed. Rav Ktoch (talk) 13:08, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rav Ktoch, I'm afraid the gentleman as written fails WP:GNG and the references do nothing whatsoever to aid your case.
For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 13:21, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Im not sure why my creation was declined again. i added some references

Earth777 (talk) 17:23, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Earth777. The draft does not currently contain any references. Some of your additions were removed for violating copyright. Other information (such as phone numbers) was removed because it is unsuitable for an encyclopedia. There is no indication of where the remaining information came from. You should be looking for independent (i.e. not the school's website) reliable sources, and the bulk of any article should come from independent sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:10, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've been going through some of my old entries,and have corrected the references on this one. Why are they now at the bottom of the page? Glammazon (talk) 18:51, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Glammazon: Inline citations, <ref> description of reference </ref>, belong in the text of the article, immediately after the material they support. They do not belong in the references section when you're editing the page. Generally, the references section should contain the single template {{reflist}}. When the page is displayed, the reflist will cause the inline citations to appear in the references section. If you omit the reflist, all inline citations will appear at the bottom of the page. See Referencing for beginners. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:00, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
