11:58:09, 6 March 2019 review of submission by 60.241.181.164


I am asking for a second opinion on the acceptance of the page of Colin Guillarmou, a French mathematician. The draft was rejected because it contained too many citations to subject's own works. However, this is common in a mathematician's page. Compare this entry, for instance, to the one of the following mathematicians: Guido De Philippis, Vincent Pilloni, Fanny Kassel, Serge Cantat, etc. The fact that we refer to a mathematician's accomplishments by quoting its publications is normal. What gives credit to them is the fact that the publications appeared in prestigious journals. For a mathematician, the very top journals are: Acta Mathematica, Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, Duke Mathematical Journal. The caliber of these journals correspond to the one of, say, Nature (journal) for a natural scientist. If you check the Wikipedia page of the other mathematicians that I mentioned, you will see that they all cite the person's best papers.

60.241.181.164 (talk) 11:58, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:RSPRIMARY, the bulk of any article should come from reliable secondary sources. Guillarmou's works are primary sources with regard to any information about Guillarmou. The mathematician examples you give are not great articles, so they are poor patterns to follow. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from examples, be sure to use Wikipedia's best, such as Georg Cantor, Johannes Kepler, Emmy Noether, or Marian Rejewski. They contain a sprinkling of citations to their own work, but mostly they cite what other people have written about them.
As far as notability is concerned, the caliber of journals in which an academic has published may be used as a contributing factor in satisfying criterion #1 of WP:PROF, but it isn't normally sufficient. The draft could do a better job of conveying which criteria you think he satisfies, and how. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:13, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if the pattern of a mathematician's Wikipedia page should be similar to those of Cantor, Kepler, or Noether, you may as well go ahead and remove the Wikipedia pages of 99% of contemporary scientists, as well as those of 99% percent of the statesmen (say, those whose patterns fall below the ones of Julius Caesar and Napoleon). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.78.56.218 (talk) 06:26, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

12:19:14, 6 March 2019 review of draft by Venusthelovegoddess


Venusthelovegoddess (talk) 12:19, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Whenever I try to edit the information about Zafar Sareshwala, it gets changed. my edited details are removed and the page goes back to its previous form. please help me to improve the details about Zafar Sareshwala.

@Venusthelovegoddess: - so this draft was correctly declined as there is an actual article on it already - you've already edited it, so I assume you're now aware of that.
This isn't really the place for you having content difficulties on an article, but to save you bouncing around, I'll give a few points.
The editor who reverted your edits did not do so unreasonably. There were two main faults with the changes.
1) They were written in a promotional manner - generally a very positive tone "here is the good thing he did, here's another" etc
2) Articles on living persons have to use inline sources (the little blue numbers) for any controversial detail. By its nature, this generally includes anything in a controversies section and anything particularly positive about an individual. Inline citations has a few different ways to add inline citations.
If you have disagreements about your edits being reverted, then going to the talk page and asking the other individual why they're reverting it and saying why you think it should remain are critical to the whole process. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:37, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

13:20:21, 6 March 2019 review of draft by Dosseman


After having added pictures to three important wooden mosques (some on UNESCO lists) in Turkey and having received "thanks" messages from another user for doing so I noticed that, though mentioned several times in articles, there was no information in the English Wikipedia on a mosque in Afyon(karahisar) that is important too. I thought I'd be useful in supplying some pictures and what information I had in my first article in the WIkipedia. I now am informed the information lacks a source.

Though I know several languages my Turkish is poor. But I checked the Turkish Wikipedia and found information about this mosque that roughly corresponds with what I wrote, though Google translate corrupted some parts. A first question is: might I use that as a reference? What worries me is that the three sources mentioned as reference in that article all link to the WaybackMachine. I find that very many articles nowadays about Turkey end up there, probably because the English Wikipedia is blocked in Turkey.

I found a picture I took in 2012 of a notice at the mosque itself, undoubtedly put there by (or accepted by) local authorities. In English it provides the information I used in my article. I might put a jpg of that picture in the gallery I put in. Might that be a reference, and be sufficient?

I also find the information confirmed in several travel guides that I own and use, how valid as sources would you consider those? I mentioned a Dutch translation of a Knaurs book, I find the same information in a Dumont "Reisefüher" in German, as well as on several tourist sites on the web. One I found (in Turkish) seems to be by the government (gv in the address: https://www.kulturportali.gov.tr/turkiye/afyonkarahisar/gezilecekyer/ulu-camii839501 ) Might that be a valid source?

Sorry for asking many questions, I try and write a good article, but Turksih sources that are dependable are hard to find. Dosseman (talk) 13:20, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dosseman (talk) 13:20, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dosseman. No language version of Wikipeida may be cited as a source, because all are user-generated, and thus not reliable.
If a source is reliable, then the same source archived in the WaybackMachine is also reliable. The fact that it's archived shouldn't worry you. Ideally all sources would be archived there.
A sign may be used as a reference. There is even a {{cite sign}} template for the purpose. It won't be sufficient to demonstrate notability for two reasons. First, a single source is alsmost never sufficient. Second, if it was erected by the organization responsible for managing the mosque, they have a vested interest in promoting it, so it isn't independent.
Travel guide books (whether in Dutch, German, or by the government) are an acceptable source for much of the information about a tourist attraction, but they aren't as desirable as a scholarly source, and I wouldn't use them for history because they aren't written by historians. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:25, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • A published travel guide is as good as any RS for the history. They have editors and verificatio processes and don't just make stuff up. A government source for the history is also fine unless there is a reason to believe it is inaccurate but it seems unlikely the government of a muslum country will fabricate hisory of an old mosque. Legacypac (talk) 03:31, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for a speedy answer. Could you confirm you read this, my answer, as I do not understand the Talk-system quite yet?

When writing "Travel guide books" I meant "published travel guide" books. I have contributed to several over the years and know how thorough their proof-reading and checking of sources generally is. As for history of muslim buildings, I'd not be too trusting. For certain periods the source may be just one traveller who visited a town and wrote a book about his travels, or such. Or a stone above the entrance. Because of earthquakes and resulting fires many archives were lost. And there also is the problem of differing calendars and resulting errors.

@Mamtapawar512: - hi there. The previous editors were correct, as films are rarely notable before they are released. The sources given are not special enough (most are completely unsuitable - twitter, quora etc aren't reliable) to change that. Just hold the draft until release, add any reviews about it, and resubmit then. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:40, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have many external links, but need help getting them into the external link area. Same for references and a photo. I will take the Adventure tutorial soon. HHHOSMER (talk) 00:06, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi HHHOSMER. I suggest that you forget about photos and external links for now. The presence or absence of photos will have no effect on whether or not the draft is accepted. Articles do not require any external links.
Concentrate on references. "Personal conversation, 1979" is not an acceptable source. Unlike other types of writing, on Wikipedia all references must be published. The remaining four citations do not adequately describe the sources you're citing. I strongly recommend that you use templates within the ref tags, such as {{cite book}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite web}}, etc. By structuring the bibliographic data, they help you make sure you've given readers everything they need to find the source for themselves. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:58, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 16:23:49, 7 March 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Scotteggert


An article that was drafted, one of my first Wiki submissions was tagged as "speedily deleted". The subject was the employer of a good friend who is a prominent African American entrepreneur. The article was drafted in a neutral third person voice without superlatives. I included links to several other articles and a single citation. I was going to proceed with writing about some personnel and a couple of businesses he owns that would reference him.

I would appreciate some pointers about how to edit this to Wiki standards. I drafted a similar article about six years ago under very similar circumstance, and as another user, which remains mostly intact today.

I am working on a biography of Stefanie Minatee for Wikipedia. The first time the article was declined, I was asked to add more citations. I have done that. Today it was declined again; here is the message I received this time around:

Please list the WP:THREE sources that would enable this person to meet notability. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:36, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

In my list of sources, I have included one book not associated with the subject (The Gospel Truth), an online resource not associated with me (GOSPELflava), though my Journal of Gospel Music has been cited on Wikipedia by others in the past, a newspaper (Union News Daily), and two online news sources (Nj.com and northjersey.com). Are none of these sources enough to determine notability?

The other question is, where do I list the WP:THREE sources in the body of the article, and are any of the references cited considered one of these three sources? If not, do the three sources need to be paper-based?

I apologize for my confusion – I have seen Wikipedia articles with only three references get published and I have provided more than 20 and can’t seem to get through the system!

Best regards, Bob Marovich


24.136.10.218 (talk) 19:09, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

General comments. Use the Draft talkpage to list your best sources. We have several thousand Draft pages waiting so wading through 20+ sources is not a good use of time when the WP:N is not obvious. Quality of sources, not quantity is important. Sources do NOT need to be paper, and online sources are much easier for us to check. I'll look at the page for you now.

19:18:56, 7 March 2019 review of draft by Scott8905


Our content was reviewed and denied. So I had a question about how we can get our specific content up as a separate article. Our office, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, is mentioned on the United States Attorney Wikipedia page, but there are significant differences between the US Attorneys (USA) office and the Executive Office for US Attorneys (EOUSA). It was recommended that we add our content to the EOUSA section of the United States Attorney page. I would submit that adding this content would cause confusion to readers since US Attorneys and EOUSA have different responsibilities and perform different roles withing the Department of Justice. EOUSA provides support with respect to policy and guidance to all 94 US Attorneys' offices including overseeing their budget, but EOUSA does not make decisions affecting civil or criminal cases. US attorneys are the chief Federal law enforcement officers in their district. They lead investigations and direct the prosecution of criminal and civil cases on behalf of the Federal government. The Director of EOUSA oversees the evaluation of those offices, supervising the operation of the Office of Legal Education, the Attorney General’s Advocacy Institute and the Legal Education Institute and much more as our submission provides. Thirdly, US Attorneys are appointed by the President of the United States and have to go through the Senate confirmation process, while the Director of EOUSA is selected by the Attorney General.

Though I would agree that referencing EOUSA on the US Attorneys Wikipedia page would provide the reader a basic understanding of who US Attorneys work with regarding Department of Justice policy and guidance. I would reiterate that having all the information about EOUSA on the US Attorneys Wikipedia page may cause confusion to the readers since the responsibilities and leadership roles differ greatly. To have a separate EOUSA page linked to the content on the US Attorneys and the Department of Justice’s Wikipedia pages would provide readers a separate resource focused specifically on the function and responsibilities of EOUSA and avoid confusion with the duties of the US Attorneys.

Lastly, other Federal agencies have pages devoted to specific offices, bureaus and divisions. Please see examples under the following:

1. United States Department of Justice under Offices - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Justice#Offices 2. United States Department of State under Organization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_State#Organization show a number of different offices/bureaus with their own pages. 3. United States Department of Agriculture under Organization, budget, and tasks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Agriculture#Organization,_budget_and_tasks 4. United States Department of the Interior under Operating Units - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_the_Interior#Operating_units

These are just some examples of pages that reference other offices who have their own dedicated page.

Should I resubmit for someone to review? Or, what would be the next steps to get a separate posted. Previous reviewers did not have an issue with the being a separate article. They provided other input with respect to adding more specific references about the content pulled directly from Justice.gov's website.

Any direction and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I was the one who suggested that it belongs on the other page but if a seperate page explains the difference between the titles that is fine. If you include material from gov published sources that is fine and copyright free but be sure to very clearly label the source and comment on ten talkpage. Executive Office for United States Attorneys already exists as a title but it is currently a redirect. You can just replace the redirect with the new article. You don't need us. Clink the link to the Executive Office page, scroll to the top, and click the redirected from link. Then paste over the # REDIRECT. Thanks for helping improve the coverage on Wikipedia of the DOJ.

Hello, thank you for your feedback and input. I was wondering if social media sites might increasingly count as 'reputable' sources. There is plenty of coverage over facebook, linked in and youtube. Impact Profile can be downloaded and used and so on. My point is that it's out there and has a lot of coverage, it seems perfect for wikipedia article! Thank you again for everything you do.

RimaPOD2018 (talk) 10:15, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RimaPOD2018, please see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Facebook and YouTube are not considered reliable because reliable sources e.g. NYT, BBC, WaPo, NBC also self-publish as well as publishing videos on such sites, making references to them unnecessary.

12:24:24, 8 March 2019 review of draft by Catoco


Trying to fully verify sources, but some information was gathered directly from band members, through messenger and email, not a published article. How can I site this source?

Catoco (talk) 12:24, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Catoco: Unpublished information may not be included in Wikipedia articles. Putting it in would violate one of the pillars of the encyclopedia, verifiability. It's common for Wikipedia articles to present an incomplete picture of a subject (in the sense of lacking some information that a reader might like to know). That's okay if there is no reliable published source for the information.
If you're close enough to your subject to be emailing and instant messaging them, you probably have a conflict of interest. Be sure to disclose the nature of any connection. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Our content was reviewed and denied. Since we disagree with the reviewer's reason, should we resubmit? The individual who denied our content recommended that our content be added to the United States Attorney Wikipedia page. Though our content is written about very briefly on the United States Attorney Wikipedia page, adding information about the Executive Office for US Attorneys (EOUSA) does not make much sense to us since the roles of US Attorneys and EOUSA are very different. For example, the responsibilities of EOUSA is to provide support with respect to policy, guidance. and budget to the 94 US Attorneys offices including. EOUSA does not make decisions affecting civil or criminal cases. On the other hand, US Attorneys are the chief Federal law enforcement officers in their district. They lead investigations and direct the prosecution of criminal and civil cases on behalf of the Federal government. Additionally, US Attorneys are appointed by the President of the United States and have to go through the Senate confirmation process, while the Director of EOUSA is selected by the Attorney General.

Though I would agree that referencing EOUSA on the US Attorneys and the Department of Justice's Wikipedia page would provide the reader a basic understanding of who US Attorneys work with regarding Department of Justice policy and guidance. I would submit that having all the information about EOUSA on the US Attorneys Wikipedia page would provide confusion to the readers since the responsibilities and leadership roles differ greatly. To have a separate EOUSA page linked to the content on the US Attorneys and the Department of Justice’s Wikipedia pages would provide readers a separate resource focused specifically on the function and responsibilities of EOUSA and avoid confusion with the duties of the US Attorneys.

Lastly, other Federal agencies have pages devoted to specific offices, bureaus and divisions. Please see examples under the following:

  1. United States Department of Justice under Offices - [[1]]
  2. United States Department of State under Organization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_State#Organization) show a number of different offices/bureaus with their own pages.
  3. United States Department of Agriculture under Organization, budget, and tasks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Agriculture#Organization,_budget_and_tasks
  4. United States Department of the Interior under Operating Units - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_the_Interior#Operating_units

These are just some examples of pages that reference other Federal agencies who have dedicated pages specific to offices within their Department who perform a specific function.

Previous reviews of our content did not make the same recommendation for our content to be added to the US Attorney Wikipedia page, their only suggestions were to add more specific references to the content that was directly pulled for the Department of Justice's website.

16:20:48, 8 March 2019 review of submission by Catoco

A wikipedia article I submitted for publishing was rejected on the grounds that the " subject was not significant" enough to qualify for it's own page. My draft is about the Bär McKinnon music group Umlaut, which can easily be located with a google search. Draft here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:UMLAUT_(band) 

Bär McKinnon has his own public Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_McKinnon_(musician)

Which mentions the band, as well as the related group, Mr Bungle: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Bungle Maybe I am misunderstanding the "significance" mention, because the subject seems quite significant. Catoco (talk) 16:20, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1. Is YouTube not a reliable source for the creation date and number of views on a YouTube Channel? 2. Is YouTube not a reliable source for the fact that the subject appears in a number of videos on YouTube doing a certain thing? 3. Is the subject's website not a reliable source for a photograph of the subject?

Pequena Princesa (talk) 11:27, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pequena Princesa. YouTube can be a reliable source sometimes. See Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites for a fuller discussion of the problems with YouTube as a source. What is perhaps more relevant in this case is that being on YouTube does not help establish that a person is notable (suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Nor is it usually worth mentioning in an encyclopedia biography, unless the presence on YouTube has been discussed in mainstream media (think Billboard, Rolling Stone, Slant Magazine, and the like). --Worldbruce (talk) 14:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft has been rejected for no reason. There is also a proper reference in the draft, which is worth making the article, all the references are official, I tried to get help from the English Wikipedia Helpline, I was blocked from there, if this article is not made If you do not want to do it, please continue it, thank you

117.234.121.8 (talk) 14:37, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@117.234.121.8: - this individual does not meet the requirements for musician notability. You can add loads of sources, but you just end up duplicating the same issue. Lots of sources don't cover him at all, which makes them rather pointless.
There is, in fact, a notability grounds that covers performing in films etc - criterion 10:
Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications).
However, there are two main flaws. 1) Your own source indicates that he was just a playback singer for one of the tracks. To qualify under this ground he'd need to be the primary singer for the whole film's music. 2) As the grounds says, this is currently his own claim, so it makes more sense to add him to the film's article, rather than generate a new article just for this.
He may in the future perform more and surpass both of those issues, but at this point, that has not been satisfied.
Finally, what do you mean by "English Wikipedia Helpline"? We have several help groups - chats, boards, email etc, but I've not heard of that one.

I recently discovered this small and interesting up and coming band called Cvlt Ov The Svn. I fell in love with their music and wanted to honor them by creating a Wikipedia article about them so that others can find all and any information about them in a concise format on a well known website. The thing is, this band is brand new, and there's no information about them aside from their social media pages. There are only a few web articles that have been made about them but they all say the same thing. I was informed that social media is not a valid source of information for a Wikipedia article so I took all necessary information from one of these articles. As I then submitted my draft for review I was told that this isn't the type of article Wikipedia desires. Despite the fact that there are plenty of articles about even more trivial subjects, with no sources stating where the information is from, I was told that this isn't good enough. I just wanted to make a Wikipedia article about this cool band that I discovered. But my requests were denied. For what reason? Because the editor who happened to review it decided so? Because it's not what Wikipedia wants? Because who would care about some no-name band? Well let me tell you. I care. Fyzix (talk) 22:15, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Need clarification on my submission of Brian B Springer. First is it being treated as an article or a biography? It's a biography and I patterned it from another on Manny Marroquin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manny_Marroquin

"This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."

Does he need to be the subject of interviews from studio executives, or others he has worked with? I included references listing him from Billboard, and other books.

@Savithashanmugam: Copyright isn't the only issue. You need to provide in-line citations to at least three professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are specifically and primarily about Kamalakannan but not affiliated with him, not dependent upon him, and not connected to him in any way.
Soundcloud is not a professional-publishing site, it is user generated. At any rate, an interview with him is not independent. The same goes for his Vimeo video.
This blog is also user generated. Don't bother citing blogs, the general rule is that they're not considered reliable (the exceptions to that rule are so rare that there's no point in looking for reliable blogs).
His production company's website is not independent.
The rest of the sources only mention him in passing. They are not specifically and primarily about him. There's a potential case that the movie Madhubaanakadai might be notable, but not Kamalakannan.

After the helpful comments from DGG, all concerns raised were explicitly addressed, specifically showing significant coverage about Siraj's work in published, reliable, secondary sources (including a standalone piece in Forbes[1], among several others), as well as showing evidence that the scientific works referenced in the Wikipedia page is attributable to Siraj, given his first authorships. It is therefore puzzling what about the entry does not meet notability guidelines. It is also worth mentioning that Siraj appears in the Wikipedia entry on 'Oumuamua and on interstellar objects. Interstellar objects are a brand new field of astronomy; one of Siraj's works has pioneered the study of trapped objects, and another work has become one of the most-read[2] Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society.

Step 1) Turn off your caps lock.
Step 2) Provide In-line citations to professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are specifically and primarily about Karen Hoyos International but completely independent of and not affiliated with KHI.
The sources you cited do not meet that standard. They are either about a walk that Karen Hoyos participated in (with no mention of KHI), or they're affiliated sources (such as this press release). They are also just tacked on to the end, so nothing that's actually said in the draft is verified.

@April2019: Responding to similar query found at the Teahouse. Not to dash anyone's hopes, but based on the sourcing that is there now, and what I was able to find with a simple Google search, there's not enough media coverage for Karen Hoyos International or Ms. Hoyos for an article.

@Emilkpaul: Ok, yes, the horse club reference does mention the church just once in one line (out of dozens) on one page (out of dozens again). That reference is not primarily about the church and it provides no real information about it whatsoever, so it's just as much dead weight as the other sources. You still need at least three sources that are specifically and primarily about the church.

Hello, I do not understand this decision. The last time the article was rejected for quality reasons, which are now fixed.

The article describes an ongoing event series that has been running since 2010. Thousands of people attended the events. They have/had media partnerships with major German sports streaming (ran) and the most widely distributed tabloid (Bild), they get reported in general German-language newspapers -- about 10 media mentions are already linked in the article -- there are a lot more, of course. So at least I think there is sufficient media coverage. What exactly is missing for notability?

I think the .350 Legend is the hottest new caliber since 6.5 Creedmoor, but since it's had even more advance buzz and enthusiasm than 6.5 Creedmoor, it may even surpass the 6.5 Creedmoor to be the hottest new caliber of this century! There are already rifles, barrels, and uppers in .350 Legend available from CMMG, Winchester, Match Grade Machines, etc. Was I just too early in creating the article, considering .350 Legend ammo won't be available until April (even though you can pre-order it now at MidwayUSA)? By the way, someone already added .350 Legend to the Wikipedia article List of AR platform calibers, so I'm sure someone else will create an article for .350 Legend, but it sure seems a waste if they start from scratch and disregard my research and that of User:Cavalryman V31 about .350 the Legend.

I am looking for help on understanding why my draft Wiki article has been rejected and what changes I can make in order for it to accepted once I resubmit.

The subject of my article was 'Beyond Analysis', the data analytics management consultancy. Here is a list of the references I used: https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/g-cloud/supplier/703715 https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06059028 https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=42461664 https://pressreleases.responsesource.com/news/37551/beyond-analysis-enters-the-australian-market-with-acquisition-of-enzyme/?export=print https://www.realwire.com/releases/Visa-Europe-invests-in-Beyond-Analysis-to-strengthen-data-analytics-capabilities https://www.research-live.com/article/news/beyond-analysis-buys-out-visas-shares/id/5018152 https://www.research-live.com/article/news/stw-invests-in-beyond-analysis-australia/id/4009383 https://www.consultancy.uk/news/14640/pwc-partners-with-beyond-analysis-to-bolster-data-visualisation-offerings https://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/beyond-analysis-scoops-top-data-analytics-award-for-delivering-incremental-value-by-putting-customers-at-the-heart-of-a-major-retail-business-198764971.html https://www.information-age.com/uks-top-50-data-leaders-2017-123465710/ https://www.dataiq.co.uk/dataiq100-17 https://www.sme-news.co.uk/2018-beyond-analysis

I would just like a bit more of an indication as to why some of these references (and which ones) do not match the criteria. Are the sources not reliable enough? Is the coverage not significant enough? Do press releases on the exact subject of the article (a company) not qualify as references? Or is it something else?

Any help would be much appreciated. I believe the name of the page is currently 'Draft: Beyond Analysis' so if you are able to, please have a look through the page to get a better idea of how to answer my question.

Many thanks.
