How do I use sources if I am just sharing an opinion Jomamma67 (talk) 03:33, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jomamma67 If you are just sharing an opinion then it doesn't belong as a Wikipedia article. That isn't what Wikipedia is for.Naraht (talk) 03:48, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You offer no sources with significant coverage of this person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable creative professional or more broadly a notable person. We need sources that discuss the person in depth and describe what they see as important/significant/influential about this person. 331dot (talk) 08:08, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wiki Administrator,

I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to inquire about the process of successfully submitting a Wikipedia article for TeraBox, a cloud storage service. We have made several attempts to create an English-language Wikipedia page for TeraBox, but unfortunately, it has not been approved thus far. The reason provided was that the topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.

We understand the importance of demonstrating notability and have taken various measures to support our submission. We have included references from reputable sources such as our official website, English-language publications, third-party media reviews, and PR press releases. These references wrote about TeraBox's features. References as below:

https://www.asiaone.com/business/terabox-tops-35m-global-downloads https://www.techradar.com/reviews/terabox-cloud-storage https://apps.apple.com/us/app/terabox-cloud-storage-space/id1509453185 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dubox.drive&hl=en&gl=US https://www.terabox.com/about-us

Given these efforts, we would greatly appreciate your guidance on how we can enhance our submission to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. We are committed to providing accurate and reliable information about TeraBox to the Wikipedia community and its readers.

If there are any specific requirements or suggestions you can provide to help us improve the content or references in our submission, we would be more than happy to address them accordingly. We are open to any constructive feedback that can help us meet the necessary criteria for inclusion.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to your guidance and support in successfully submitting the TeraBox Wikipedia article. Please let us know if there is any additional information or documentation that would be helpful for our submission.

Best regards,

(I'm not an administrator, but I'll respond while waiting for one...)
@Yaolongchao: the sources you mention are simply insufficient for establishing notability per WP:GNG. We need to see significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. With the possible exception of the TechRadar piece, none of the sources cited meets this standard. In any case, this draft has been rejected, and will not therefore be considered further. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:38, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Yaolongchao.
I am afraid that your draft article was rejected which means it will not be considered further: there is nothing you can do.
The sources you provided in your draft were inappropriate: "reputable sources such as our official website... and PR press releases" these do not count towards notability. Any references should have been created by reliable secondary publications that were independent of TeraBox: so cannot be interviews, reviews from app stores, PR pieces, or from your own website.
To show that TeraBox passes the Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) threshold, your sources should have been:
- Reliable: Strong, reliable sources that are published by reputable institutions, that offer analysis or interpretation.
- Independent: Independent of the subject, for example not self-published or from the subject's own website.
- Show significant coverage: Been discussed in detail in the sources you find. The sources should provide in-depth information or analysis about the subject, going beyond basic facts or promotional material.
- From multiple places: Be from at least three separate reliable, independent, secondary sources that discuss your subject.
TeraBox cannot have a Wikipedia article if the above cannot be met. Remember that Wikipedia is not a place for any type of self-promotion or advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia: not an advertising platform, directory, or a way to promote a subject.
Finally, please note that if you are connected in any way to TeraBox then you must declare your Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, and if you are being paid by TeraBox to try and create an article this must be declared immediately: Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Hope that helps, Qcne (talk) 08:38, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I should also mention, @Yaolongchao, that your use of the word We implies your user account might be shared by multiple people? Please be aware that this is against the Wikipedia Terms of Service, see: Wikipedia:NOSHARING. Qcne (talk) 08:49, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You don't ask a question, but you have submitted the draft. 331dot (talk) 09:48, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies, I just an overall review of what I can to do in order to get it approved, what can you suggest, the good and bad aspects of the article? StrongALPHA (talk) 10:07, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@StrongALPHA: please be patient; you will get feedback when the draft is reviewed. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:56, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I need help in publishing the page, there are claims which are leading to this article being rejected. I want to know how I can improve this and get the article live. Mahendra Rasiklal Luniya (talk) 10:26, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mahendra Rasiklal Luniya: you shouldn't be writing about yourself, see WP:AUTOBIO. In any case, we're not interested in what you have to say about yourself, but what reliable and independent secondary sources have said. If you wish to tell the world about yourself, try the likes of LinkedIn. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:59, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 12:37:24, 18 July 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Erica2687

Hi! I would like to have my draft article "Jeff Fynn-Paul" reviewed again. It was rejected once, some months ago, but I have since re-edited it based on the suggestions of the reviewer, and have been waiting for it to be reviewed ever since, for over a month. I would greatly appreciate some tips on how to make sure it gets checked and hopefully submitted soon.

Erica2687 (talk) 12:37, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Erica2687: your draft was only declined, not rejected, so you're welcome to resubmit it for another review. There is no way of expediting this, however, as drafts are not reviewed in any particular order. HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:42, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Large parts of the draft are not referenced. Every single claim about a living person should be cited to a reliable publised source, and most of them to a sources wholly independent of the subject. ColinFine (talk) 22:04, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

how could i create a biography in wikipedia Zakariahossain27 (talk) 19:35, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the autobiography policy. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. 331dot (talk) 19:53, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Wiki newbie here. Am I to understand correctly that my client cannot have a Wikipedia entry because she hasn't had any publications publish an article about her, specifically? If she did provide one, would the article become eligible? Thank you for the clarification. Ceejtheday (talk) 19:39, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The personal life section is completely unsourced. If information cannot be cited to a sources, it cannot be on Wikipedia. Any article about your client must primarily summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about her, showing how she meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. There needs to be independent sources that chose on their own to give your client significant coverage. 331dot (talk) 19:51, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first Wikipedia about Pamir Kakar and he don't have other links that include Pamir Kakar name. Muqadas Delawarzai (talk) 21:26, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If a subject is not written about in independent reliable sources, that subject does not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. 331dot (talk) 21:41, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
