MyDreamTrains You don't ask a question, but I have reviewed your draft. An infobox with no prose will not be accepted as an article. A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources like news reports say about a person. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves, please read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 08:39, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trying too get page published about company and also trying to include logo and it is telling me that it is not allowed. Jkerk78 (talk) 14:32, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Before you do anything you need to disclose your paid editor status on your user page per the instructions on your talk page, your draft has been declined because it is just an advert for your company and has zero reliable independent sources, which is what articles are based on.

Hi there,

I submitted a wikipedia page however got declined with the following stated:

"This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."

How do i proceed?

KeyvanLBJ12 Wikipedia has articles, not pages. You only have two sources in your draft article. A Wikipedia article about a musician must not merely document the existence of a musician and their music. It must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the musician, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable musician. Which of the notability criteria do you assert this person meets? 331dot (talk) 15:37, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay do you recommend I delete the sources and submit for drafting again? KeyvanLBJ12 (talk) 16:41, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
KeyvanLBJ12 I recommend that you first determine which one of the notability criteria for musicians this person meets, and then gather at least three independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this musician that demonstrates that notability. Significant coverage is not just documentation that the person exists or where their music can be found, but independent, in depth coverage about the musician and what makes them notable. Independent means that interviews and other primary sources are not acceptable for establishing notability. Please read Your First Article.
Note that successfully creating a new article is the absolute hardest task to perform on Wikipedia- it's really a good idea to first gain experience and knowledge by first editing existing articles, as well as using the new user tutorial, before attempting the diffcult task of creating a new article. 331dot (talk) 16:54, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The sources provided are independant reliable sources. I will add a few more sources and re-apply. KeyvanLBJ12 (talk) 23:39, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thuita J. Maina You don't ask a question, but Wikipedia is not a place for you to tell the world about your blog. Wikipedia is for summarizing what independent reliable sources say about a topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability- such as the definition of notable web content. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 16:34, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
