07:37, 4 March 2024 review of submission by Tom.Romanski

edit

I would like some advise on how to re-draft this article so that it may be approved for Wikipedia. 

Tom.Romanski (talk) 07:37, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tom.Romanski: you need to show that the subject is notable, by citing sources that satisfy the WP:GNG / WP:NCORP standard. Currently no such source is cited here, and we need to see at least three.
Also, not that it's would be a reason to decline this, but please correct the multiple wikilinks throughout. Just link to the title of the target article, not the entire URL. See WP:WIKILINK for more info. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this article not suitable pls? 2402:4000:B280:326F:9045:A335:D4BC:8DB9 (talk) 08:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because there is nothing to suggest that this person is notable by Wikipedia standards. Being the 'first X to do Y' is not a notability criterion. Also, the draft, such as it is, cites only one source, and a non-reliable one, at that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:09, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pls reconsider the article, thank you 2402:4000:B280:326F:9045:A335:D4BC:8DB9 (talk) 08:17, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing to reconsider.
Please don't start a new thread with each comment, this is not a chat room, this is a discussion forum; just add your comments to the existing thread. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:22, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are newspaper articles in Sinhalese about this topic. this is correct information 2402:4000:B280:326F:9045:A335:D4BC:8DB9 (talk) 08:22, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If some of those newspaper articles meet the requirements set out in golden rule, then they may be enough to establish that she is notable in Wikipedia's sense. But any that have only a brief mention will not count, and nor will any that are based on interviews or press releases from her, her employers, or her associates. See WP:NONENG for how best to cite non-English sources. ColinFine (talk) 14:37, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would this article we alright now? 2402:4000:B280:326F:9045:A335:D4BC:8DB9 (talk) 08:33, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, there is no indication of notability using your sources. Qcne (talk) 09:08, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You also created Draft:Anna_Weerakoon_Karunatilleke. Please do not re-create rejected submissions. Qcne (talk) 09:09, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also Draft:Kim10.
And they're still creating new threads with each comment.
At some point this will start to get disruptive... -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:38, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Bonadea

I have made changes to the content based on the recommendations and requesting you to please take a look at it and share your views.

Looking forward to your suggestion to further improve it and answer any query.

Thanks James Jamesinhere (talk) 11:15, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The way to get a draft rereviewed is to resubmit it. We don't do reviews on request. But I notice something problematic in the first line: no Wikipedia article should ever use evaluative language such as "leading" about anything, in Wikipedia's voice. I haven't read on to see whether this is an isolated example, or whether the whole thing is full of peacock language. ColinFine (talk) 14:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I had made changes to draft as per wikipedia instructions 20 days ago but there is not any response please help Rushigangurde4 (talk) 15:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rushigangurde4: that's because you haven't resubmitted this draft for another review. What's more, you had removed the earlier review, so the 'resubmit' button wasn't even there; I've restored that. (Please don't tamper with the review templates or comments, they need to stay there throughout the process.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:28, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how can i add my company page DigiKnown IT (talk) 16:08, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(User blocked, draft G11'd) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:25, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)@DigiKnown IT: Short answer: You don't. Longer answer: Wikipedia has no "company pages"--it has articles on subjects which are considered notable by our community standards. To show notability, a subject must have received significant coverage from reliable sources which are independent of the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a corporate directory, and encyclopedia articles must maintain a neutral point of view. Your draft had no sources at all, independent or otherwise, was purely advertising copy which was wholly unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and has already been deleted as such per our policies.
Furthermore, our username policy prohibits usernames which give the appearance of being a role account for a company, and your account has already been blocked for this reason. You are free to create a new account which represents you as an individual--"[name] at Digiknown" would be acceptable, for instance--but even with a new account you are strongly discouraged from any editing where a conflict of interest is involved, and you are required by the terms of use (to which you agreed when you created your account) to disclose whether you are being paid by any entity to edit Wikipedia in any way.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions if you have them. Thanks. --Finngall talk 16:38, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

19:12, 4 March 2024 review of submission by Milliehaze

edit

Hello, this article was not accepted because he is a " local/regional successful businessman " and the sources are "routine local coverage". Looking at the notability guidelines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)_, I do not see any mention of being important to a region as something that should invalidate this submission. The reviewer mentioned that Bergstrom has routine coverage. Multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability in this submission. Milliehaze (talk) 19:12, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Milliehaze you are welcome to resubmit it to get another opinion. S0091 (talk) 20:43, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

19:57, 4 March 2024 review of submission by Tropical Storm Angela

edit

Would it be sometime around late March, April or May that the article of Miss America 2025 be stamped on Wikipedia? Whenever the first contestant of Miss Whoever 2024 is crowned, would it be appropriate to submit the article at those times? Angela Kate Maureen Pears 19:57, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The appropriate time would be when there are enough independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this future event to summarize in an article- such as sources describing the planning and preparation of the event(such as 2028 Summer Olympics). You don't have this now. 331dot (talk) 20:03, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tropical Storm Angela, please read WP:COATRACK. Your draft is not about the 2025 Miss America pageant. It is a coatrack for unrelated commentary about trans women competing and the age and marital status of contestants and other things not specific to the 2025 pageant. If well referenced and written neutrally, this type of content belongs in the main Miss America article. These matters are not specific to 2025, as opposed to 2024, or 2026 and 2027. Cullen328 (talk) 08:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can anybody please clarify how this article draft piece can be made as neutral and proper? Is there some way to make the article better and meet the standard for Wikipedia? I'm devoted to improving the Wikipedia in more ways than ten. Angela Kate Maureen Pears 14:22, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You should be trying to add this information to the more general Miss America article, not an article about a specific holding of the pageant(which hasn't happened yet). I suggest that you discuss it on Talk:Miss America. 331dot (talk) 14:27, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
