We provide the official website or document from the organizations to proof Denis Yip's occupation in certain position. Is it the most authoritative evidence? Why is it necessary to provide evidence from other sources? Thanks! Michael Biu (talk) 02:26, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Michael Biu: Because we cannot trust anything the subject or their surrogates puts out about him especially on matters that could potentially be challenged. Of your sources, only one is independent of him, and it barely talks about him at all. We're looking for in-depth, non-routine, independent sources about him that are written by identifiable authors and published in outlets that fact-check, disclose, correct, and retract. If those sources do not exist, we cannot have an article until they do. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 05:08, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Why was my article rejected? Please guide me IPordel (talk) 14:38, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- IPordel Your draft was only declined, not rejected("rejected" would mean resubmission is not possible). The reason was left by the reviewer at the top of the draft. Do you have a specific question about that? 331dot (talk) 14:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

My draft David J. Brown (artist) was rejected and thought to be autobiographical (which it is not). As a resource and a guide, I have looked at other similar and published wiki articles on similar people. I would appreciate help in refining my effort so that its suitable for wiki inclusion. thank you. AvonMooch (talk) 14:41, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- AvonMooch Beware in using other articles as a model, as those too could be inappropriate. See other stuff exists. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to get by us. We can only address what we know about. If you want to use other articles as a model, make sure that they are classified as good articles.
- Do you have an association with Mr. Brown? I assume that you did not choose him at random to edit about.
- As your draft was rejected, it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not a place to tell about someone and what they do; it is a place to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. 331dot (talk) 14:48, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi :)
I created a page for a company that seems to be doing a lot of work in blockchain research, however there was a speedy deletion. I'm not sure why that happened or what information specifically caused the deletion.
Could you clairfy please?
Thanks, Emmacamill (talk) 15:15, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Emmacamill Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about a company and what it does- a Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. This does not include brief mentions, staff interviews, press releases, announcements of routine business activities, and other primary sources.
- You have chosen to edit in a contentious area, blockchain/cryptocurrencies. There are special rules about this, which I will inform you of on your user talk page. If you work for nChain, please read WP:COI and WP:PAID for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 15:22, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

19:23:23, 16 May 2022 review of submission by Jeffduet edit
Hello, my page was not accepted, apparently because it did not have 'significant' coverage, and because it was apparently biased in some way.
When I wrote the article I tried to be as unbiased as possible, and due to the nature of the topic I am not sure what sorts of references I can give.
This content has been reviewed by the head creator of the app in question, and I don't think there is a more reliable source.
The only thing that is argubly "biased" is the "reception" part, so I can delete that if it will allow me to get the article published.
If there are other specific changes you would like me to make, please give more details as I am clueless how to edit this for resubmission.
Thank you very much,
Jeff

Courtesy link: Draft:DuetDisplay- @Jeffduet: The draft as written reads like dry ad copy (read: Promotion-by-over-detail), and the sourcing is hardly any better - one source is too short to be a viable source, the second appears to be more affiliate marketing, and the third is the subject themselves. We don't trust anything put out by the subject or their surrogates as a general rule. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 20:05, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the additional information. I am not a marketer and generally just writing to be neutral, but I have made some adjustments to try and make it sound better for Wikipedia's style. I've also added some additional references, and just resubmitted.
- Thank you. Jeffduet (talk) 21:25, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am asking for help regarding this draft article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:DuetDisplay
I have resubmitted after making some more changes based on what I was told, including of getting rid of marketing-like tone and adding a few more references, but I see I got declined again for the same reasons, with no additional information.
Can someone please give me some more details why I this resubmission was not approved? I have went through all the text again and it seems very neutral and factual to me, and I have a bunch of references, several of which are not related to the producers of the app.
I would like to improve the quality so I can get accepted but with out very specific details (meaning that specific sentences are referred to, etc.) I am not sure how I can do so.
Thank you.
Jeff

How many sources do I need for my draft?
142.112.172.175 (talk) 23:29, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- There is no magic number, and quality as well as quantity matters: three solid sources is probably enough, whereas even thirty flaky ones isn't. That's for establishing the notability of the subject. For supporting the article contents, you basically need to be able to reference every material or potentially contentious statement to a reliable source, and you therefore need however many sources that requires.
