I’m not sure if this comment belongs on the draft page or the help desk, so I’m starting with the latter. |

Bio-detection dogs |
|||
}} |
|||
I am asking for assistance because I created this draft apart from canine cancer detection. When it was declined, the reviewer commented that it has the same subject of canine cancer detection, which is true, but the difference is I added so many more qualitative things to Bio-detection dogs that isn't on Canine Cancer Detection. I have spent many hours on this draft and I believe it is worthy of its own page. I don't understand why there can't be two pages about the same subject because if a person searches canine cancer detection and sees the little about of information, then they will research Bio-detection dogs, and because my draft has a lot of qualitative information on it, it will be more helpful. This is also a school project that I have had to do for the past 4 months. I had originally planned on building off of and editing Canine Cancer Detection, but then my advisor told me that it would be better to create my own page which I did. I also think another reason it should be published is Bio-detection dogs is a page that does not currently exist on wikipedia an I would like to be the first to have it published onto wikipedia. I don't know how I can make Bio-detection dogs any more different from Canine Cancer Detection than it already is. Maybe you could help advise me on how to do this? |

:{{ping|Cbbdb}} I don't know why your advisor thought creating a new article would be better. The entire content of [[Draft:Bio-detection dogs]] revolves around using dogs to detect cancer, a topic that already has an article. Having multiple articles on a topic is not the Wikipedia way. Wikipedia instead favors large, comprehensive articles. A reader interested in a subject should find everything worth knowing about it in one place, rather than having to read different spins on it by different editors in different places. The content you have developed should be merged with [[Canine cancer detection]] to improve that article. If you think "Bio-detection dogs" is a phrase that readers are likely to search on, you are welcome to also create a redirect from that term to [[Canine cancer detection]] (see [[Wikipedia:How to make a redirect]]).

In trying to understand the rejection of my article on Fanny Breeze, I read the Wikipedia article on reliable sources. Based on my understanding, References 1 and 5 should pass the test, with the sources being the Orange County Register of Deeds, the NC State Park Division, both of these understood to be reliable government agencies. Reference 6 comes from the Eno River Association, a local but trusted conservation organization. |

{{Lafc|username=Unionpearl|ts=02:47:19, 16 February 2016|pending=User:Unionpearl/Bohus_knitting}} |
|||
Beverly Scarlett’s role here is as a descendant of the subject, but she has also served as a District Attorney and District Court Judge in Orange County, so I would expect that would move the needle closer to being a reliable source, so that perhaps we can add References 2 and 3 to the list of reliable sources. If it helps, I can try to vet the credentials of local educators Dave Cook and Joe Liles, the narrators from Reference 4. |
|||
I have written an article for review, but the title is wrong. How do I change the namespace before submitting it for review? Otherwise, I think it's ready. |
|||
My desire here is to provide some visibility about an individual who made a difference to thousands of people. It’s not easy to find high quality sources for a person who was born almost 200 years ago, so I’ve offered those that I can find. |

:@[[User:Uryder23|Uryder23]]: the first thing that strikes me is that half the paragraphs (some very short, admittedly, but still) are unreferenced. So even if your sources were all undeniably reliable, the draft would fail the test of {{tq|not adequately supported by reliable sources}}. |

:Source 1 may well be ''reliable'', but it isn't a published source (by the looks of it, at least). Source 5 appears to be just a photo; it is probably "reliable", but only serves to support a tiny factoid in the draft. |

:Hello, @[[User:Uryder23|Uryder23]]. To enlarge on DoubleGrazing's reply: the decline notice focuses on ''reliable'' sources. This is the most important criteria, but there are two others which are nearly as important: ''independence'' from the subject - very little which is written, published, commission, or based on the words of, the subject or their associates, can be cited; and ''significant coverage'' - a source which only mentions the subject in passing is of little use, and one which does not mention the subject is almost always irrelevant.

:{{ping|PEkwam}} Wikipedia only publishes articles on topics that have received significant attention from the world at large. For example [[Old Church of St Nidan, Llanidan]] has been written about in books and scholarly journals. Most churches are of only local interest, and have only been written about by people connected to the church, such as on the church website, and are thus unsuitable for an article in Wikipedia. |
|||
:It's not written in an encyclopedic fashion, it's full of [[MOS:PUFFERY]], basically every fact is unsourced, and there's nothing presented that suggests the subject is notable. Even if this were a notable basketball player, the article would need to be completely rewritten; it has very little actually ''about'' the subject.

|||
The page I wrote about Radio Dublino (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Radio_Dublino) was rejected for lack of sources. I removed the weak sources and added many more reliable sources. I have been waiting for another review since June. Do you know what I can do? Would it make sense to add more sources? I already have 11 references for a very short page.

:@[[User:Tapiro Maccu|Tapiro Maccu]]: just for the record, this draft was ''declined'' in June, but only resubmitted on Nov 19th, so you've been only waiting for another review for exactly one month. And no, there is no way to expedite this process, as we have 1,800+ pending drafts to review, and they are not reviewed in any particular order. -- [[User:DoubleGrazing|DoubleGrazing]] ([[User talk:DoubleGrazing|talk]]) 11:22, 19 December 2024 (UTC) |

I submitted an article for review about Bed-Knob and Broomstick the book published by Mary Norton. The reviewer felt I had violated the copyright of another online author. However, since I provide the reference source as an end-note and I do not need to state in the text that I was paraphrasing, I feel the reviewer was overly harsh in reviewing and deleting my work. I respectfully request that someone else please evaluate the situation. If it is still a problem, then at least allow me the opportunity to correct the problem, instead of deleting it straight away. Thank you. |

:::The purpose of citing a source is to give the reader a means to verify some information in the article. If a source performs that function on its own, leave the citation in. If it verifies information verified by another source, consider removing one of them. If it does not verify a piece of information in the article, remove it. And if it is a non-independent source whose only function in the article is to verify the existence of something (eg an artistic work) consider whether that work ought to be mentioned in the article at all.

The Wild Things & Wild Places podcast is also independent of OneCanopy but interviewed a member of OneCanopy for an episode. The other two sources are national organizations completely independent of OneCanopy and I only shared them to support the statement that OneCanopy held memberships in those notable organizations. Please advise further as I'm not understanding how newspapers which are independent and reliable sources are not considered independent of the company, OneCanopy, which is a reforestation nursery with no affiliation to news media.

:::I'm not saying that the organs are not indpendent, but that those articles are not independent. For example, The Coloradan have very clearly interviewed Brinkman, and based their article on what he said (even though only couple of paragraphs are explicitly quoted). That is not independent, it is echoing what the company says. [[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 23:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC) |

== 23:04, 19 December 2024 review of submission by Sportsguyaus == |
|||
Hello, my article was rejected based on guidelines of notability. I had used IMDB citations at first, not realizing that that website was not allowed as a citation, so I have removed those links as well as any links to personal websites and tried to expand on the news media coverage. Unfortunately, there is only limited coverage of this art school in the media however, as it is now an accredited College level educational institution, I believe that it is deserving of its own article as an organization and is relevant to wiki's "Higher Education in Quebec," article. Any help in trouble shooting this article is greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

Hi, I drafted the article about the NQSF earlier this year after becoming aware of them through some community events - and reached out to find more details. Since I drafted the article, I have subsequently been employed by them. The article did not make it past the Draft phase, feedback being it needed more resources to reach threshold for coverage. |
|||
How should I proceed? It would no longer be suitable of me to continue a draft based on my position? Does anyone think this page should meet the notable criteria |

:@[[User:MajorbucksYT|MajorbucksYT]]: you clearly know how to reference, technically speaking at least, because you've managed to create 12 citations which seem okay to me. The problem is that you're citing some non-reliable sources like Twitter, and much of the content in this draft is unreferenced – where is all that information coming from, and how do we know it's true?

:{{ping|Sfawcett}} Being an effective contributor to Wikipedia is nine parts reading to one part writing. The draft shows that you know how to cite a source using footnotes (the format is unusual, but should be acceptable), so the most important link you've been pointed to is [[WP:MINREF|minimum standard for inline citations]]. Biographies of living persons (BLPs) have the most stringent requirements for inline citations of any type of article. |

== 07:39, 20 December 2024 review of submission by Thehistorianisaac == |
|||
:The lede is a summary of the rest of the article. The facts it summarizes should already have inline citations in the body of the article, so inline citations in the lede would be redundant. For readability reasons, inline citations are discouraged in the lede (if you study featured BLPs you'll see that about 60% have none). The fact that the reviewer has criticized the lede for not having any inline citations suggests that they don't feel the lede accurately summarizes the article, or they were unable to find corresponding inline citations in the body, or they believe some statement in the lede is implausible enough to require a second inline citation. You would have to ask them for clarification. |

:How many inline citations to use in the body is a judgement call. The reviewer pointed out that the entire biography section contains no inline citations. Is there really nothing in that section likely to be challenged? Don't you think someone reading "started playing piano and trumpet at age three" and "a world renowned trumpeter" is likely to react with "Oh yeah, prove it!"? On this particular draft, one citation per sentence would be overdoing it, but you're likely to encounter push back from reviewers without at least one citation per paragraph. |

I am confused by the response from the editor who rejected the entry, who says the entry lacks sufficient documentation; however, there are a dozen end notes, citing articles in the New York Times, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Readers Digest, Contemporary Authors, and other sources. The subject of the entry is the author of a baseball novel that was a finalist for a prize, was cited by the editors of a major metropolitan newspaper as one of the best works of fiction for the year of its publication. It also received a good number of other strong reviews from other newspapers and magazines, which I did not cite, since I thought the point of the entry was to be representative and not encyclopedic. The book has received mention in a number of articles citing the best baseball novels of all time; perhaps the entry might mention those? I am not sure what else to do with this but would like some guidance. |

: "This behaviour is by design", as programmers love to say. I really can't see how it could work any other way. |
|||
: Like most software bugs, it's important, and hard, to say just what the ''real'' problem is. Is it that you're getting the new cite pasted in at the top of the article? That's a ''different'' problem (and shouldn't be happening). But really, references should be, have to be, and are, numbered in sequence. That means they will get renumbered to maintain this sequence, no matter the order you add them in. Welcome to the world of academic publishing. |
|||
: I'd suggest using the code editor, not the visual editor, and learning to work a bit more hands-on with the wikitext source code. It's not really that hard (everything is weird, so all of us just work by copying around the last snippet that worked right!) |
|||
: Also ''just bang it in any old how'', explain what's happening, what's wrong, and get some old greybeard to fix the annoying details afterwards.

For instance, the Herbert Morrison statement was made to me by my mother and written down by me many years ago, but that cannot possibly be an acceptable source. My plan is to add as many references as I can, then strip out the stuff I'm sure will not pass the reviewers. Some of the relationship details are in geni.com and I don't know if that's acceptable.

Hello Wikipedia! I am having trouble determining what constitutes an in depth third-party source. And after looking at other people's questions, Googling, and comparing my draft to published articles, it only gets more confusing. I added verified news sources and web sites representing broadcast television before my last re-submit, and I continue to beef the page up with references unrelated to the subject's workplace website and IMDb page, but I did leave those initial references in the article because I felt they supported the statements I made. |

:An [[WP:IS|independent]] or [[WP:Third-party sources|third-party source]] is one that has no vested interest in a topic. The subject of a biography is not an independent source about themselves because it is to their advantage to make themselves look good. Similarly, an organization they work for has an interest in promoting their work. The ideal independent source in this case would be a scholarly one, perhaps a film historian or someone who studies entertainment journalism. Failing that, next best would be a professional journalist writing for the most reputable and mainstream outlet you can find (think ''Los Angeles Times'', ''Variety'', or ''NPR''). |

:The quintessential example of an in-depth source is a 200-page biography. A chapter in a book, or even a couple pages, is probably enough to count as in-depth.

{{Lafc|username=JaredWEngland|ts=15:25, 21 December 2024|draft=Draft:Coast_Guard_BASE_Elizabeth_City}} |

Greetings. I'm trying to establish a new page, but am unsure how to adequately address the comments provided to my first draft. I added several additional references, but am not sure that will be adequate. In short, I'm trying address some confusion with the hierarchy of existing Wikipedia articles. There are articles about Air Station Elizabeth City and the Elizabeth City Regional Airport. However, these are just two of several Base Elizabeth City tenants. My goal is to create a Base page to clarify the structure, better communicate what's at the campus, and provide a framework that will enable better information moving forward. Without a Base page, there isn't a location for this information to be built. Contributing to the challenge, the general pubic is largely unclear of the differing functions on the Base, so external references I can cite often have embedded in them the very confusion that I'm trying to address with this article. I know I cannot cite myself, but I'm a career Coast Guard officer who has worked on the Base at high levels. I'm seeking to address a problem I've seen both in the community here, and to a lesser degree within the Coast Guard itself. Especially for new members transferring to Elizabeth City, it is difficult to understand the makeup of the location. My hope is that this new page can become a repository for useful information to address these concerns, but it must exist first. Thanks for any help or guidance you can provide.

:The purposes you outline above are no doubt very laudable, but they are not what we do at Wikipedia.

My reference to structure was that, to establish how the place is organized, so that there is a place for the details to subsequently be filled in.

I'm afraid that most people will give up much quicker, and Wikipedia will devolve to the major mainstream dated info model that the now defunct encyclopedias of yore used. In the balance between the unconstrained free for all of the early wiki days and absolute odious control of a rigorous academic reference, this feels too much like the latter.

Dear Reviewer, |
|||
Thank you for your feedback on my submission. I’ve carefully reviewed your explanation but still find it unclear why my article was not accepted. |
|||
I noticed that Wikipedia currently lacks a dedicated definition of Vendor Risk Assessment, a fundamental concept in information security. My goal is to provide an encyclopedic explanation of this widely used term to inform readers about its importance and relevance. |
|||
Your feedback mentioned that the article resembles an essay. However, I intended it to be a neutral, fact-based description aligned with Wikipedia’s standards. If there are specific sections or phrases that need revision to make it more suitable, I’d appreciate detailed guidance. |
|||
I’m committed to improving the article to meet Wikipedia's guidelines and would greatly value further clarification to ensure it aligns with community standards. |

:@[[User:Batoenonghistoryador|Batoenonghistoryador]]: the title isn't important at this stage, this will be moved to a different title anyway when (if) accepted, and at that point the reviewer will place it at the correct title. |

What I really want to do is to describe some community awards that have been set up in the UK so that people know about the background and purpose of them. Because people in the USA, UK and Caribbean are interested to know about them and also the winners and nominees over the years to be posted about them. But instead, i used my username as I am not really that good at reading and understanding what I am supposed to do to complete this task. Can you please help me to change the title of the article from Verve Connections to The Mixed Blessings Awards (MBA's)? |

:I don't fully understand question 2 either, but I suspect that I can answer it by saying that a Wikipedia article should be a summary of what [[WP:42|independent reliably published sources]] say about a subject, and very little else. If independent commentators talk about all the issues, then you can list them; if no independent commentator refers to some issue, why should it appear in an encyclopaedia article at all? |

This is a comment on an existing Wikipedia article already submitted through AfC - I had declined it previously for doubts on notability, which have faded after a deep discussion [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Archive 58#Draft:Rafael de Miguel Gonz%C3%A1lez declined 5 times.|here]] on the [[Rafael de Miguel González]] page. The article was then accepted. Since then, I feel that loads more unsourced information has been added that question the neutrality of the original draft. |
|||
I do not intend to send this article to AfD, hence why I merely aim to discuss it here - at worst, the article could be reverted to its revision when accepted, and newer edits could be trimmed or otherwise removed. |

Of the three out of 15 citations that even might meet those criteria (actually 2, because 2 of them are the same source), the Lambo piece does not have [[WP:significant coverage|significant coverage]] of her, so the TempoStub is the only one that even might be an acceptable source - though I suspect it is based on an interview or press release, so is not truly independent).

Hello, hope I am writing at the right place. I have made a first submission a couple of days ago, and my article was declined because of the tone wasn't right / neutral at certain places. At first I wasn't in agreement with the reviewer, but after careful re-reading I must agree that I had to make some changes. I have since then edited the article to fix those passages and resubmitted the article. I was wondering if I could get a feedback on the article as well as having it accepted ? |

I feel like I have put in the work, and that I also found many reliable articles to support it, but I am open to comments. |

I want this company to get some recognition, I have no relation to either founder and have never written a wikipedia article before but there is nothing online about them. I purchased one of their ornaments as new old stock on ebay and wanted to find out more about it and was even able to track down one of the founders Micheal Leban and was able to have a small interview with him where the majority of this information comes from. They essentially pioneered a niche automotive accesory field at a time where hood ornaments were going out of fashion. I made a rough draft and don't know what I need to do now to have it published.

:Hello, @[[User:Muhammedramees18|Muhammedramees18]].

{{Lafc|username=WikiBaltimore|ts=14:09, 24 December 2024|draft=Draft:Turner_Development}} |
|||
Hello. An article I recently submitted "Turner Development" was just declined for "appears to read like an advertisement". Here is the entire submission..... |
|||
"Turner Development is a real estate development company based in Maryland. Turner Development specializes in ground up and Adaptive reuse renovations. Notable projects include Silo Point Condominium in Locust Point, Baltimore, 1211 Light St, McHenry Pointe, Federal Hill Lofts in Federal Hill, Baltimore, Henrietta Square, Holy Cross Condominiums and McHenry Theater." |
|||
I disagree with the "appears to read like an advertisement" and would like you to please reconsider the submission. None of 3 sentences are subjective or in any way promoting Turner Development, just facts that were backed by the numerous references submitted with the article. What was submitted are just 3 factual sentences to start a wikipedia page for other Wiki community members to contribute as they see fit. |
|||
For example, [[Silo Point]] is one of projects mentioned and an outstanding wiki page has grown over the years around the history and facts on the former grain elevators story. The other projects listed in the original submission also have an incredible historical story to tell by the wiki community for their significant impact they have played in Marylands past. |
|||
Thank you for you reconsideration and insight as to what/how the 3 would need to be reworded to make sure they meet wiki guidelines and a new page is create to help spur greater conversations on the wiki community about the signitical historic locations listed in the original submission. ~ Happy Hollidays.

:@[[User:WikiBaltimore|WikiBaltimore]]: Wikipedia articles summarise what independent and reliable secondary sources have previously said about a subject and what makes it worthy of note. Your draft, on the other hand, merely states that the subject exists, and gives very much the impression that it is the subject telling the world about itself (which is the definition of promotion, see [[WP:YESPROMO]]), with a dozen sources tagged at the end for [[WP:REFBOMBING]] purposes. |

:The references are about the ''projects'' Turner Development has been involved in, not, ''about'' Turner Development, the company, mostly about Silo Point, which does already have an article. And the references are just slapped in a giant bucket at the end rather than supporting factual information with in-line citations. What are the sources for the notability of these other projects besides Silo Point? What is the source for specifically concluding that the company "''specializes'' in ground up and Adaptive reuse renovations?" You can't simply infer that from the listed projects as that's [[WP:OR]]. At the end of the day, the article doesn't really even tell us anything about Turner Development.

[edit]04:15, 18 December 2024 review of submission by Slim8029
[edit]I am adding more references. How to I get them to add to the end of the existing list? The "cite" process is inserting them at the beginning. Thanks. Slim8029 (talk) 04:15, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Slim8029: You don't add references to the "references" section; instead you add them in-line within the text itself, using ref tags. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 04:30, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- When I click within the text, then click on Cite and add the template information about the new citation, it makes the new entry #1 in the reference list and increments the reference number of every existing reference. It's incredibly confusing to have the reference numbers change all the time.
- Is there any way to do this so the new citation gets the next number following the last of the existing references?
- Thanks. Slim8029 (talk) 00:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I've made edits , provided sources and references yet my article hasn't been accepted . I don't understand why . I request clarification Quedeveraux (talk) 09:57, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Quedeveraux: this draft cites one primary source, and therefore provides zero evidence that the subject is notable. Which is unsurprising, given that the album this draft is about won't be released for another several weeks.
- It's also confusing how the article title suggests this is about the person Dominique M, but the content is written as if it's about the album. You need to decide which is the actual subject. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:07, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I think this language is significant because the most viewed youtube video of the language is more popular than the most viewed youtube video of Sambahsa, which has a wikipedia page on it. Please tell me more about why you decided to reject the draft. The tricolor (talk) 12:46, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- The tricolor Wikipedia is not for things that are created one day. You have no independent reliable sources that discuss this constructed language, sources like news reports, books, analysis by language experts, things like that. If you just want to tell the world about this language, you should use social media or other website with less stringent requirements. 331dot (talk) 13:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I am told the sources are not reliable and am unclear why not. Thanks a lot. Notonlywords (talk) 15:52, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Notonlywords: the sources are all primary, and close to the subject, so they are effectively verifying themselves. Also, sections of the draft are unreferenced.
- A bigger problem is that the sources (again because they are primary) cannot establish notability per WP:GNG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Why is my article being rejected repeatedly? NizuNazmuldhak (talk) 15:52, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- @NizuNazmuldhak: because it is purely promotional, and provides no evidence whatsoever that the subject is notable. And despite several earlier deletions, you haven't improved on this front at all, therefore the title is being protected to prevent further versions being created. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:57, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

- When it comes to references, I include references to secondary sources that have been verified by the Press Council, so it is impossible that the media is not notable, articles that appear in our country's media must first be verified by the Press Council, the Press Council itself is under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Indonesia and is equivalent to the Ministry of Communication and Information, and the press rules of the Indonesian state are different from the press rules in the United State and other European countries, so Ali Azhar D's page is notable regarding its references.

[edit]01:26, 19 December 2024 review of submission by Uryder23
[edit]I’m not sure if this comment belongs on the draft page or the help desk, so I’m starting with the latter.
In trying to understand the rejection of my article on Fanny Breeze, I read the Wikipedia article on reliable sources. Based on my understanding, References 1 and 5 should pass the test, with the sources being the Orange County Register of Deeds, the NC State Park Division, both of these understood to be reliable government agencies. Reference 6 comes from the Eno River Association, a local but trusted conservation organization.
Beverly Scarlett’s role here is as a descendant of the subject, but she has also served as a District Attorney and District Court Judge in Orange County, so I would expect that would move the needle closer to being a reliable source, so that perhaps we can add References 2 and 3 to the list of reliable sources. If it helps, I can try to vet the credentials of local educators Dave Cook and Joe Liles, the narrators from Reference 4.
My desire here is to provide some visibility about an individual who made a difference to thousands of people. It’s not easy to find high quality sources for a person who was born almost 200 years ago, so I’ve offered those that I can find.
Please let me know if there is some way to modify the article so that it might be accepted.
Thanks, Tom
Uryder23 (talk) 01:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Uryder23: the first thing that strikes me is that half the paragraphs (some very short, admittedly, but still) are unreferenced. So even if your sources were all undeniably reliable, the draft would fail the test of
not adequately supported by reliable sources
. - Source 1 may well be reliable, but it isn't a published source (by the looks of it, at least). Source 5 appears to be just a photo; it is probably "reliable", but only serves to support a tiny factoid in the draft.
- The bigger problem (than sources being reliable or not) is that they are all primary, apart from #2 possibly, and as such unable to establish notability. That's what I would have declined this draft for myself. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:25, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @DoubleGrazing @ColinFine For both of you - thanks for the clarification. I'm understanding more about why don't have what we need for this page. I'm disappointed, but your explanations will help me explain to the other folks on the team why we can't meet the standards. Uryder23 (talk) 12:20, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Uryder23. To enlarge on DoubleGrazing's reply: the decline notice focuses on reliable sources. This is the most important criteria, but there are two others which are nearly as important: independence from the subject - very little which is written, published, commission, or based on the words of, the subject or their associates, can be cited; and significant coverage - a source which only mentions the subject in passing is of little use, and one which does not mention the subject is almost always irrelevant.

- It's not written in an encyclopedic fashion, it's full of MOS:PUFFERY, basically every fact is unsourced, and there's nothing presented that suggests the subject is notable.

Hi, The page I wrote about Radio Dublino (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Radio_Dublino) was rejected for lack of sources. I removed the weak sources and added many more reliable sources. I have been waiting for another review since June. Do you know what I can do? Would it make sense to add more sources? I already have 11 references for a very short page. Tapiro Maccu (talk) 11:11, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Tapiro Maccu: just for the record, this draft was declined in June, but only resubmitted on Nov 19th, so you've been only waiting for another review for exactly one month. And no, there is no way to expedite this process, as we have 1,800+ pending drafts to review, and they are not reviewed in any particular order. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:22, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- thanks for the reply and the clarification. My question was about the sources. Should i add more sources or maybe is better reduce them and leave just the 4 / 5 more independent reliable sources? Tapiro Maccu (talk) 16:17, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- The purpose of citing a source is to give the reader a means to verify some information in the article. If a source performs that function on its own, leave the citation in. If it verifies information verified by another source, consider removing one of them. If it does not verify a piece of information in the article, remove it. And if it is a non-independent source whose only function in the article is to verify the existence of something (eg an artistic work) consider whether that work ought to be mentioned in the article at all.

- The issue is that you have not shown that this man meets the special definition of notability that we have here on the English Wikipedia(a notable musician, a notable creative professional, or more generally a notable person). The French Wikipedia is a separate project with its own policies; what is acceptable there is not necessarily acceptable here. 331dot (talk) 14:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

20:40, 19 December 2024 review of submission by Sapr1930
[edit]Hi there, I was just wondering why the sources I provided were not considered independent, reliable, or published. Also, what information should be removed in order for this not to read like an advertisement? I am unaffiliated with the organization, but think this page would be useful to those interested in conservation. Please advise, I believe this information to include only straightforward facts that I found about the company in published sources online and nothing that is promotional. Sapr1930 (talk) 20:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Sapr1930 The main issue and the first point of the declination reasoning on the draft specifies rather that the issue is the submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. The reason for including an article on Wikipedia is irrelevant to its creation. We are instead focused only on things that are WP:Notable. Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:01, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- hELLO, @Sapr1930. The trouble is that none of the sources you cite are independent of OneCanopy. (It is possible that the BizWest one is - it's behind a paywall, so I can't see it) but I doubt it. Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources. An article that says what the subject wants to say is very likely to sound promotional.
- I suggest checking your sources against the triple criteria in WP:42: they need to be all three in order to contribute to establishing notability. ColinFine (talk) 22:12, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for this info. The Coloradoan, BizWest, and Sky-HiNews are all newspapers. They have nothing to do with OneCanopy, they simply reported on the company. The Wild Things & Wild Places podcast is also independent of OneCanopy but interviewed a member of OneCanopy for an episode. The other two sources are national organizations completely independent of OneCanopy and I only shared them to support the statement that OneCanopy held memberships in those notable organizations. Please advise further as I'm not understanding how newspapers which are independent and reliable sources are not considered independent of the company, OneCanopy, which is a reforestation nursery with no affiliation to news media. Sapr1930 (talk) 22:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not saying that the organs are not indpendent, but that those articles are not independent. For example, The Coloradan have very clearly interviewed Brinkman, and based their article on what he said (even though only couple of paragraphs are explicitly quoted). That is not independent, it is echoing what the company says. ColinFine (talk) 23:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I drafted the article about the NQSF earlier this year after becoming aware of them through some community events - and reached out to find more details. Since I drafted the article, I have subsequently been employed by them. The article did not make it past the Draft phase, feedback being it needed more resources to reach threshold for coverage.
How should I proceed? It would no longer be suitable of me to continue a draft based on my position? Does anyone think this page should meet the notable criteria
I'm newish to etiquette etc. so I apologise for any well-intended mistakes in advance. Sportsguyaus (talk) 23:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Sportsguyaus. You may continue to work on the draft, provided you first make the mandatory declaration (normally on your user page) of your status as a paid editor.
- You will need to make sure that your sources meet all three of the criteria in 42. If you cannot find at least three sources that meet these criteria, the Foundation does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and you should give up.
- If you can find three or more, you should forget absolutely everything you know about the Foundation, and write a neutral summary of what those sources say. Even if you know something that directly invalidates what one of the sources says, you may not put your knowledge in unless it is published - and depending on what the information is, you probably shouldn't even if it is published but only by the Foundation. This is because Wikipedia works on verifiability, not truth - and it is also one of the reasons why editing with a conflict of interest can be difficult. ColinFine (talk) 23:16, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @ColinFine, this is very helpful. I'll conduct a review for notability prior to continuing, and be sure to work through verifiable works and not truth as you pointed out. Sportsguyaus (talk) 00:03, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Why would you not want to know that the referencing is inadequate, if that should be the case? --bonadea contributions talk 06:43, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- That's like "Please tell me whether my house is likely to fall down, but don't mention the foundations". An article is a summary of what reliable independent sources say about a subject, and very little else. Absolutely nothing you know about the subject belongs in the article unless you can find a published source for it. Large amousnts of your draft are unreferenced (and while policies don't require that everything actually be referenced as long as it could be, reviewers tend to be unhappy if references that could be there are missing). ColinFine (talk) 11:43, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
How do I reference correctly though? Like first a brief summary of whatever, but like do I have to phrase it so the reference goes in perfectly or something?
The guide pages aren't helping at all MajorbucksYT (talk) 01:54, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- @MajorbucksYT: you clearly know how to reference, technically speaking at least, because you've managed to create 12 citations which seem okay to me. The problem is that you're citing some non-reliable sources like Twitter, and much of the content in this draft is unreferenced – where is all that information coming from, and how do we know it's true? Every material statement should come from a reliable source, and you need to tell us the source by citing it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:09, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]When I click within the text, then click on Cite and add the template information about the new citation, it makes the new entry #1 in the reference list and increments the reference number of every existing reference. It's incredibly confusing to have the reference numbers change all the time. Is there any way to do this so the new citation gets the next number following the last of the existing references? Thanks Slim8029 (talk) 21:35, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- No!
- "This behaviour is by design", as programmers love to say. I really can't see how it could work any other way.
- Like most software bugs, it's important, and hard, to say just what the real problem is. Is it that you're getting the new cite pasted in at the top of the article? That's a different problem (and shouldn't be happening). But really, references should be, have to be, and are, numbered in sequence. That means they will get renumbered to maintain this sequence, no matter the order you add them in. Welcome to the world of academic publishing.
- I'd suggest using the code editor, not the visual editor, and learning to work a bit more hands-on with the wikitext source code. It's not really that hard (everything is weird, so all of us just work by copying around the last snippet that worked right!)
- Also just bang it in any old how, explain what's happening, what's wrong, and get some old greybeard to fix the annoying details afterwards. The wiki editing model is good at that, if we can just allow it and not get tied up in WP:BUREAUCRACY. Also use the Talk: page as much as possible. It solves so many problems.
- This is an interesting topic for an article and I look forward to it going live. But it does need more sourcing for some sections. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I will do as you suggest and just bang the references in. I am aware that I lack published sourcing for some stuff, sad to say. For instance, the Herbert Morrison statement was made to me by my mother and written down by me many years ago, but that cannot possibly be an acceptable source. My plan is to add as many references as I can, then strip out the stuff I'm sure will not pass the reviewers. Some of the relationship details are in geni.com and I don't know if that's acceptable.

15:25, 21 December 2024 review of submission by JaredWEngland
[edit]- JaredWEngland (talk · contribs) (TB)
Greetings. I'm trying to establish a new page, but am unsure how to adequately address the comments provided to my first draft. I added several additional references, but am not sure that will be adequate. In short, I'm trying address some confusion with the hierarchy of existing Wikipedia articles. There are articles about Air Station Elizabeth City and the Elizabeth City Regional Airport. However, these are just two of several Base Elizabeth City tenants. My goal is to create a Base page to clarify the structure, better communicate what's at the campus, and provide a framework that will enable better information moving forward. Without a Base page, there isn't a location for this information to be built. Contributing to the challenge, the general pubic is largely unclear of the differing functions on the Base, so external references I can cite often have embedded in them the very confusion that I'm trying to address with this article. I know I cannot cite myself, but I'm a career Coast Guard officer who has worked on the Base at high levels. I'm seeking to address a problem I've seen both in the community here, and to a lesser degree within the Coast Guard itself. Especially for new members transferring to Elizabeth City, it is difficult to understand the makeup of the location. My hope is that this new page can become a repository for useful information to address these concerns, but it must exist first. Thanks for any help or guidance you can provide. JaredWEngland (talk) 15:25, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- The purposes you outline above are no doubt very laudable, but they are not what we do at Wikipedia. A Wikipedia article is a summary of what reliable indpendent sources say about a notable topic, and very little else. "A base page to clarify the structure" doesn't sound like that - it sounds more like original research, which is not permitted in Wikipedia articles. ColinFine (talk) 18:00, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps I'm expressing myself poorly, but this isn't original research. I'm just trying to create a page for an actual location where about 3,000 people work everyday and generates ~50% of the GDP for northeastern North Carolina. I want to create the page as a "skeleton" that can be built on to flesh out the details of this place by myself and others in the future. My reference to structure was that, to establish how the place is organized, so that there is a place for the details to subsequently be filled in. Other Coast Guard Bases, much smaller and less significant in mission, personnel, and reach, have a page. Why not this one?

- @JaredWEngland: All but the articles on Ketchikan and Cape Cod predate the drafting process entirely, and those two predate drafting being made all-but mandatory. They did not go thru the same process as your draft has to. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:40, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- (ec) Beware of the other stuff exists argument. Those other articles could themselves be inappropriate and just not addressed yet by volunteers.
- A draft article does not need to be complete, but it does need to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the base. If you have a source for the claim that it generates 50% of the GDP for part of North Carolina, that's a start. 331dot (talk) 18:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've edited again and resubmitted. Unfortunately, many of the sources for information I have aren't available on the internet, so citing them isn't possible. The most recent adds & references what I was able to find in existing sources.
- Taking a step back, I understand the need for a draft/review process but this feels excessive. I've put a fair amount of time into this (creating a page and learning all the rules/software/formatting/ect has a steep learning curve) for what still may be 100% waste effort. I'm afraid that most people will give up much quicker, and Wikipedia will devolve to the major mainstream dated info model that the now defunct encyclopedias of yore used. In the balance between the unconstrained free for all of the early wiki days and absolute odious control of a rigorous academic reference, this feels too much like the latter. However, I'm an infrequent Wikipedia contributor and light financial backer, so my opinion is likely of low value. Volunteers are the magic of Wikipedia, and that's mostly you. Even though this has been frustrating, thanks for what you do! JaredWEngland (talk) 20:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- @JaredWEngland: You can still cite - and we can still accept - offline sources, as long as they are cited properly.

- Hello again @JaredWEngland. Neither the number of people who work there nor the revenue it generates is necessarily indicative of meeting Wikipedia's criteria for notability.

- Thank you. I've added a bunch more references to substantiate my opinion that it does meet the notability guidelines.

Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for your feedback on my submission. I’ve carefully reviewed your explanation but still find it unclear why my article was not accepted. I noticed that Wikipedia currently lacks a dedicated definition of Vendor Risk Assessment, a fundamental concept in information security. My goal is to provide an encyclopedic explanation of this widely used term to inform readers about its importance and relevance. Your feedback mentioned that the article resembles an essay. However, I intended it to be a neutral, fact-based description aligned with Wikipedia’s standards. If there are specific sections or phrases that need revision to make it more suitable, I’d appreciate detailed guidance. I’m committed to improving the article to meet Wikipedia's guidelines and would greatly value further clarification to ensure it aligns with community standards.
Thank you for your time and assistance. ProofandTrust (talk) 15:41, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @ProofandTrust. Your draft is a blog-post style essay/how to guide/critique. That's not what an encyclopaedic entry on Wikipedia about a subject should look like. Instead, you should be paraphrasing reliable published sources (not blog posts, which most of your sources are) in a dry, factual manner using the Wikipedia Voice. I am afraid you will have to completely re-write your draft from scratch and find new sources for there to be any chance of it being accepted. qcne (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello,
I would like to ask for your help regarding the draft title of an article I am currently writing. If possible, could you change the title to "Atty. Howard Calleja et al. v. Executive Secretary et al."?
Additionally, I have a few questions:
1. How should I cite sources that are in PDF format? 2. In writing the article, is it permissible to list all the issues, given that they are material to the whole article? I am concerned that it might be flagged as a directory. Should I make it concise and risk omitting the core of the issues to shorten it?
Thank you so much for your guidance!
Batoenonghistoryador (talk) 10:54, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Batoenonghistoryador: the title isn't important at this stage, this will be moved to a different title anyway when (if) accepted, and at that point the reviewer will place it at the correct title.
- You can cite online PDFs with the {{cite web}} template. The
format=
parameter takes PDF as value, but you don't even have to specify that, the template picks it up from the file type automatically. - Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by your last question (#2), could you elaborate? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:50, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't fully understand question 2 either, but I suspect that I can answer it by saying that a Wikipedia article should be a summary of what independent reliably published sources say about a subject, and very little else. If independent commentators talk about all the issues, then you can list them; if no independent commentator refers to some issue, why should it appear in an encyclopaedia article at all?
- As to question 1, DoubleGrazing has answered the technical part, but the question arises of whether these PDFs have been reliably published or not. ColinFine (talk) 19:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

what can i improve this article that it would be on wikipedia Bentasyt.1 (talk) 18:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Please see the message left by the reviewer, as well as the policies linked to therein. 331dot (talk) 18:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Bentasyt.1. My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft.
- Very brief summary of writing an article:
- Find several sources which are reliably published, wholly independent of the subject of the article, and contain significant coverage of the subject. See WP:42
- If you can't find at least three such sources, give up and do something else.
- If you can find them, forget anything you may know about the subject, and write a summary of what those sources say about it.

[edit]Why was the article declined Mariah Hopkins (talk) 20:03, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Courtesy link: User:Mariah Hopkins/sandbox ColinFine (talk) 20:16, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- It was declined because it doesn't have enough independent reliable citations to establish that she meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability - see WP:42. Of the three out of 15 citations that even might meet those criteria (actually 2, because 2 of them are the same source), the Lambo piece does not have significant coverage of her, so the TempoStub is the only one that even might be an acceptable source - though I suspect it is based on an interview or press release, so is not truly independent). Even if it is, one source is not enough to establish reliability, and most of the draft is not cited.
- Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.
- Resubmitting the draft without making any changes is not recommended, and may be regarded as disruptive editing.
- My comments to another editor above are equally applicable to your case. ColinFine (talk) 20:28, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

- @Thanvi 032: your draft Draft:Molana Inamur Rahman Inam Thanvi has not been rejected, which would mean it cannot be resubmitted; only declined, which means it can, once you have addressed the decline reasons. Which you have not done. Each decline notice told you to cite your sources inline, not in a big heap at the bottom, so that we can see where each piece of information has come from and how much of the content remains unsupported. That is the reason this has been (repeatedly) declined. HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:54, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

08:31, 23 December 2024 review of submission by Tropical Appreciater10001-400
[edit]Regarding the decline of making the draft a article. After careful review of wikipedias policy, My understanding is that Fictional works do not have to cite sources. I may be wrong, so correct me if you please. which is what i am regarding. Tropical Appreciater10001-400 (talk) 08:31, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- You are wrong see Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Theroadislong (talk) 08:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Tropical Appreciater10001-400: not so; every article has to cite its sources.
- In reviewing Wikipedia policies, you appear to have missed the one about not publishing hoaxes and fictitious things of assorted types. If you wish to tell the world about your idea, you need to find some other platform to do that; perhaps one of the many blogging sites out there. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback. I understand the concern regarding the use of fictional works on Wikipedia. However, I wanted to clarify that Palame is a fictional setting created for a Roblox game, and it exists in that context. While it is indeed fictional, it is a component of a larger creative project that others might find interesting. If this is not appropriate for Wikipedia, I would be happy to explore other ways to share this concept, but I thought it was worth explaining the context.
- Thank you for your time and consideration. Tropical Appreciater10001-400 (talk) 08:39, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, wherever you heard that, your understanding is incorrect. Perhaps you are referring to plot summaries of films and books(which don't need to be cited as they can be verified by reading the book/watching the film). Wikipedia is not a host of fictional content. 331dot (talk) 08:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I believe i understand now. for a draft/document to be accepted it must have media and/or publicity, or any outwards sources. such as a videos on social media of the creation. and/or if the game was published, and is avalible for the public on the platform (Roblox) to clarify, yes it is published on Roblox, but is not widely played or known, if you do say i can provide with you with a link if needed. but i do think i understand.

- It says that my sources should be: in-depth, reliable, secondary and independent. My sources definitely fulfil the first two requirements. All bar one of my sources are peer-reviewed journal articles. Some which have thousands of citations (not a perfect proxy for reliability, but it’s as good as it’s gonna get).

19:05, 23 December 2024 review of submission by Zraffarz
[edit]Hello, hope I am writing at the right place. I have made a first submission a couple of days ago, and my article was declined because of the tone wasn't right / neutral at certain places. At first I wasn't in agreement with the reviewer, but after careful re-reading I must agree that I had to make some changes. I have since then edited the article to fix those passages and resubmitted the article. I was wondering if I could get a feedback on the article as well as having it accepted ?
I feel like I have put in the work, and that I also found many reliable articles to support it, but I am open to comments.

- Your draft is laughably promotional, do you work for the company by any chance? "Surmesur combines traditional tailoring with technology offering clients personalized experiences through digital fitting tools and diverse customization options." is straight from the marketing department. Theroadislong (talk) 19:16, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't work for Surmesur no. I am not paid either for writing this article. I am French speaking though, so maybe what you see as being laughably promotional is simply that some things you see offensive I read them as being neutral. Are there other sections that are not fitting ? Like I said, I want to put in the work.
- Regards Zraffarz (talk) 19:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. I did work on the draft, and removed passages like the one you mentioned. I also removed any content that could be misinterpreted (like the awards section i felt could be interesting, but removed it as I am trying to find the difference between content and promotional content). Would you be willing to give it another pass ? Draft:Surmesur

- Draft:Mark Anthony DiBello Knitsey (talk) 03:01, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @MarkDiBelloBiographer: I don't know what a 'photo box' is, or why you wouldn't be able to remove one if you can insert one; I can only assume you're talking about something to do with the visual editor, of which I've very little experience. In the source editing mode, you can certainly remove any trace of an earlier image.
- Having said all that, your draft looks like some sort of personal tribute page or similar, not least because of the excessive use of family/personal photographs. These are quite inappropriate for an encyclopaedia, in my opinion at least.
- On a separate point, your user name clearly suggests some sort of connection with the subject. This has been queried on your talk page, but I don't see that you've responded to the query. Could you do that now, please. If you are being paid or otherwise rewarded for your edits, you must make a paid-editing-disclosure. Even if you're not, but otherwise have an external relationship with the subject, you must make a general conflict-of-interest (COI) disclosure. Please attend to this matter promptly.

- Hello, @Muhammedramees18. Writing a new article is much more difficult than it looks, and editors who try it without first spending a significant amount of time learning how Wikipedia works often have a frustrating and disappointing experience. It is even more difficult when the editors has a conflict of interest. My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft.
- A Wikipedia article should be a summary of what independent reliable sources have published about a subject, and very little else. Wikipedia has essentially no interest in what your school says or wants to say about itself, only in what wholly independent commentators have published about it. For many schools, that is little or nothing: if that is the case, then no article on the school is possible.
- Note also that if ever Wikipedia has an article about your school, whoever writes it, the article will not belong to you, will not be controlled by you, will not necessarily say what you want it to say, and may be edited by almost anybody in the world except you and your colleagues. Please see an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. ColinFine (talk) 12:04, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

- All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Your two sources do not do this, they just show the subject exists. Posts on social media such as pinterest are also not reliable sources in most cases. Also most of your content was unsourced.

Notable projects include Silo Point Condominium in Locust Point, Baltimore, 1211 Light St, McHenry Pointe, Federal Hill Lofts in Federal Hill, Baltimore, Henrietta Square, Holy Cross Condominiums and McHenry Theater."
I disagree with the "appears to read like an advertisement" and would like you to please reconsider the submission. None of 3 sentences are subjective or in any way promoting Turner Development, just facts that were backed by the numerous references submitted with the article. What was submitted are just 3 factual sentences to start a wikipedia page for other Wiki community members to contribute as they see fit.
For example, Silo Point is one of projects mentioned and an outstanding wiki page has grown over the years around the history and facts on the former grain elevators story. The other projects listed in the original submission also have an incredible historical story to tell by the wiki community for their significant impact they have played in Marylands past.
Thank you for you reconsideration and insight as to what/how the 3 would need to be reworded to make sure they meet wiki guidelines and a new page is create to help spur greater conversations on the wiki community about the signitical historic locations listed in the original submission. ~ Happy Hollidays.

- @WikiBaltimore: Wikipedia articles summarise what independent and reliable secondary sources have previously said about a subject and what makes it worthy of note. Your draft, on the other hand, merely states that the subject exists, and gives very much the impression that it is the subject telling the world about itself (which is the definition of promotion, see WP:YESPROMO), with a dozen sources tagged at the end for WP:REFBOMBING purposes.
- Do you happen to work for, or with, Turner Development, by any chance? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- The references are about the projects Turner Development has been involved in, not, about Turner Development, the company, mostly about Silo Point, which does already have an article. And the references are just slapped in a giant bucket at the end rather than supporting factual information with in-line citations. What are the sources for the notability of these other projects besides Silo Point? What is the source for specifically concluding that the company "specializes in ground up and Adaptive reuse renovations?" You can't simply infer that from the listed projects as that's WP:OR. At the end of the day, the article doesn't really even tell us anything about Turner Development. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 15:12, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

I don't undertstand why my page has been suspended, i was the most parcial i could and y followed all the recomendations you gave me. Please i need help publishing this. Juanestebanfernandez (talk) 14:21, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Juanestebanfernandez: your draft was declined because it doesn't demonstrate that the subject is notable. There is also nothing to indicate where all that information comes from, let alone that it comes from reliable and independent secondary sources.
- Do you represent Trusted Interpreters or CSA Research in any way? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:58, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- It's not written in an encyclopedic manner, the text itself is complete unsourced with only some general tangentially related sites listed at the end, it looks like AI was heavily used in creating it, and we already have far superior information of this type at articles like Language interpretation. Yes, the article focuses on interpretation services in the US rather than generally, but there's almost no actual specific US-related content other than a couple unsourced facts.

Why has my article been denied? I'd like to ask why my content has been declined and what I can do to add it CerebralPathfinder (talk) 21:23, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- CerebralPathfinder I fixed your post to provide a link to your draft as intended. Did you see the message left by the reviewer? 331dot (talk) 21:34, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- ah yes just seen! thank you CerebralPathfinder (talk) 21:47, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- I see that the draft is sourced entirely to company materials. Instead, it should 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.
- If you work for this company, that must be disclosed, see WP:PAID, as well as conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 21:38, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
