Tangmo I fixed your link to the draft(it lacked the "Draft:" portion). The reviewer provided their reason for declining at the top of the draft. Please review the message and the policies linked to therein carefully. 331dot (talk) 08:57, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How do I add a picture or monogram in this topic Ba.hridoy (talk) 08:45, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures are not relevant to the draft approval process, which only considers the text and sources. You don't need to worry about images until your draft is accepted and placed in the encyclopedia. You'll need to first translate it into English and show you have summarized independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage of this magazine. 331dot (talk) 08:56, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What should I have to change? Samuel Tesfaye Gari (talk) 09:02, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong now? Samuel Tesfaye Gari (talk) 09:13, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is wrong is that your draft was blatant promotion and has been deleted. 331dot (talk) 09:16, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NEW ON WIKIPEDIA Hello, I am Jassen Japheth Gaddiun. I am new to wikipedia and was frustrated when my article was rejected. I am new on wikipedia and will really need help. Please Thank you. Jayofpedia (talk) 09:57, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jayofpedia I fixed your post to provide a link to your draft as intended. Most of your draft is unsourced. The awards section should just be removed as awards do not contribute to notability unless the award itself merits an article, like Nobel Peace Prize or Academy Award. 331dot (talk) 10:07, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I sincerely appreciate. Let me remove the award section. Jayofpedia (talk) 10:11, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have updated the post and published it. Awaiting review. Jayofpedia (talk) 10:34, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, is it okay to use PDF files for citations? I haven't come across other articles that do that. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you Laisha.Fahud (talk) 10:34, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Laisha.Fahud: if a source otherwise meets the required standards of reliability etc., and has been published in the PDF file format, then that is okay. However, user-generated content is not acceptable, nor are copyrighted contents that someone has scanned and saved as PDF possibly in violation of the original copyright. So I think the answer it, 'it depends'. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:38, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note that a citation properly consists of bibliographic information such as author, title, date, publisher, journal etc. If there is a legal copy available on the web, then it is helpful to provide a link to it, but that is a convenience, not an essential part of the citation.

I want to publish this page because he is an actor. Ashok2025 (talk) 14:21, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ashok2025 The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. IMDB is not considered an acceptable source as it is user-editable, and you have not otherwise demonstrated that this actor meets our definition of a notable actor. 331dot (talk) 15:16, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Qcne,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek advice regarding the draft article for Siddam Manohar. The draft has recently been flagged for deletion under section G11, citing concerns of being unambiguous advertising.

I highly value the guidelines and standards set by Wikipedia and would appreciate guidance on how to modify the draft to ensure it aligns with the encyclopedic tone expected by the community.

Points of Inquiry:

Clarification on Advertising Concerns: I would appreciate specific feedback on the elements within the draft that may be perceived as promotional or advertising. Understanding these concerns will enable me to make targeted revisions.

Notability Criteria: Siddam Manohar is a significant figure in the Indian film industry, and the draft highlights his notable contributions. If there are specific aspects that need additional coverage or clarification to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria, kindly advise on those points.

Improvement Suggestions: Are there particular sections or information within the draft that could benefit from improvement or modification to better adhere to Wikipedia's guidelines? Any specific advice on language, tone, or content structure would be immensely helpful.

I am committed to contributing content that enhances Wikipedia's quality and educational value. Your guidance is invaluable in this regard, and I am eager to make the necessary adjustments to meet the community's expectations.

Thank you for your time and assistance. Thesazh (talk) 16:51, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thesazh If you wish to address Qcne in particular, you should use their user talk page.
Please describe your connection to Mr. Manohar; you took a picture of him on set.
With language like "Manohar has left an enduring impact on the cinematic landscape, showcasing his artistic prowess in a diverse range of films", the draft was nothing but a promotional piece, and has been deleted as such. 331dot (talk) 16:57, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Manohar has left an enduring impact on the cinematic landscape, showcasing his artistic prowess in a diverse range of films, and now I got text that page was deleted due to reasons, I'm just trying to create a page to showcase his works and skills Thesazh (talk) 17:17, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thesazh This does not answer my question. Please describe your connection with him.
Wikipedia does not have "pages to showcase" anything. Wikipedia has articles about topics that meet the notability criteria, like a notable creative professional, in which independent reliable sources with significant coverage are summarized. 331dot (talk) 17:23, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dear 331dot,
I apologize for any confusion earlier. As Chidipothu Manohar's assistant, my goal is to ensure that an accurate and neutral Wikipedia page is created reflecting his notable contributions to the Indian film industry. My association with Mr. Manohar is based on assisting him in gathering relevant and factual information to compile a comprehensive summary of his career achievements and impact within the cinematic landscape.
Our intent is to abide by Wikipedia's guidelines by compiling information from credible and independent sources, highlighting Mr. Manohar's notable works and achievements within the industry. The aim is to meet the notability criteria by showcasing his significant contributions supported by verifiable sources.
Should you require further clarification or specific details regarding Mr. Manohar's professional background, notable projects, or any other relevant information, please let me know. We aim to contribute to Wikipedia in adherence to its standards and guidelines.
Sincerely,
Thesazh,
Assistant to Chidipothu Manohar Thesazh (talk) 17:36, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Terms of Use require you to disclose your status as his assistant, which I assume he compensates you for. I've placed information about doing this on your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 17:50, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Thesazh your responses are clearly AI-generated. Qcne (talk) 18:10, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

17:24, 23 December 2023 review of submission by 62.101.252.149

Unfortunately, my article has been declined. I would like to know the reason for that. Farida Ahmadi is a Norwegian Afgan writer. She has a Norwegian Wikipedia article. I want to convert it into English and publish it in wikipedia.org and I am a new editor. I don't have any article. So Wikipedia did not allow me to translate the Norsk article into English and I have decided to create a new article in English and publish it in wikipedia.org. Please give me a guideline and help me to publish this article on Wikipedia.org. I am doing this from my interest. There are no financial issues here. 62.101.252.149 (talk) 17:24, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Norwegian Wikipedia has different editors and policies, what is acceptable there is not necessarily acceptable here. 331dot (talk) 17:51, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You need to demonstrate that Ahmadi meets English Wikipedia's criteria for notability, by presenting several sources, each of which is all three of reliably published, wholly independent of Ahmadi, and contains significant coverage about her. Most of your sources are not independent, as they are either by Ahmadi, or based on interviews.
Reference 4 appears to be from a Wiki, and is therefore not a reliable source, but in any case it does not mention her. (I often wonder why people think there is any point at all in including a reference like this: a reference that showed that she attended the school would be of (limited) use, but a reference that shows that the school exists contributes absolutely nothing to the article).
It is possible that the Ramakrishnan book has significant coverage of her and will count, but I haven't seen the book - but even if it is, we need more than one such source. See golden rule for more information.
Note that each version of Wikipedia has its own rules and policies: sources may be acceptable on one version and not another. ColinFine (talk) 17:53, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, are you User:Sharmina.lina? Please remember to log in. --ColinFine (talk) 17:56, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is also a large amount of unsourced/original research content which is not allowed. Theroadislong (talk) 17:58, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

21:49, 23 December 2023 review of submission by 2600:100B:B1C0:F9A5:FDDE:7890:5036:4998

edit

Hi,

Before I totally abandon trying to enter this entry with Wikipedia, I thought I would ask for some guidance. The subject I have submitted an entry for would seem to be, "notable," since they have a podcast that is successfully charting, and the film productions they have taken part in have charted and been fairly successful, as well. I have cited one or two articles that directly address the subject, as well as two separate sources where a news station includes the subject in their reporting. If these sources aren't strong enough for acceptance, I will make a note for any future edits or entries I may try to enter. A google search will quickly show that this entry I have submitted has a footprint on pop culture, but if they don't meet the notability criteria, I need to get clear on who actually does?Thanks very kindly for your assistance. 2600:100B:B1C0:F9A5:FDDE:7890:5036:4998 (talk) 21:49, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Having a "podcast that is successfully charting", "footprint on pop culture", etc. are not notability criteria. This was declined because the subject does not appear to meet any of our notability guidelines, neither the general WP:GNG nor the special WP:NAUTHOR one. If you can prove otherwise, then feel free to provide the necessary evidence and resubmit. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:00, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
