I came across this draft, and it seems notable. However, I’m not entirely sure if it is ok to publish into the main space. Brachy08 (Talk) 05:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- It has been submitted for review and it is pending. You haven't edited the draft, are you asking as a reviewer? 331dot (talk) 08:35, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Brachy0008, I have lived in Northern California for nearly 52 years and know quite a bit about the history of the relationship between the ILWU and the CPUSA around here. There is no doubt in my mind that Archie Brown is notable and so I have moved the draft to main space. His name is on the decision of a very signicant case he and his lawyers won before the US Supreme Court, after all, and his obituary in the New York Times makes a compelling argument for his notability. What say you, 331dot? Cullen328 (talk) 09:09, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- I would concur with your assessment(I hadn't examined it that closely yet). 331dot (talk) 09:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yes Brachy08 (Talk) 11:01, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

- 210.212.98.124 (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi, I wanted to add a page for a museum that has opened in my hometown earlier in 2023. The feedback I was given for the article was that it "Does not have sustained coverage". I'm not sure what sources to cite or how to make it more substantial as it has only recently opened. My motivation for adding it is that it is an important step forward in Indian institutions (I'm not affiliated with it in any way, I'm just passionate about education!). Would appreciate any advice :) 210.212.98.124 (talk) 06:29, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- If the museum has just opened, it is almost certainly too soon for an article about it, as it apparently lacks the coverage needed to support an article about it. Any article about this museum must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about the museum, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organziation. It hasn't existed long enough to become established and recognized for its work by independent sources. 331dot (talk) 08:33, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

what went wrong in my edit please Soojey (talk) 07:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Your draft was deleted as blatant promotion while in the process of being reviewed. Writing about yourself is strongly discouraged, please read the autobiography policy. If you want to tell the world about yourself, you should use social media or a personal website. Wikipedia is for summarizing what independent reliable sources say about a topic, not what it says about itself. It's also not clear that you meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable musician. 331dot (talk) 08:31, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

- The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. If something has fundamentally changed about the draft since it was rejected, like new sources that the reviewer did not consider, the first step is to appeal to the last reviewer directly. 331dot (talk) 08:29, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

02:20, 19 January 2024 review of submission by 211.26.109.79
Hello,
I recently had an article rejected for reasons:
"This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject."
And comment: Please read WP:FRINGE
I am hoping that someone here can offer a specific example of what the editor is referring to, as I can find no examples in the text of any of the above. I am a professional writer, so can easily make the necessary amendments if I can have specific feedback as to what the editor considers to be a peacock term within the text, or what the editor considers to be a fringe theory, etc. Of course I read the pages linked in the editor's comments and as mentioned, cannot find any examples of them within my submitted text.
Thank you in advance for the assistance! This is my first time making a submission so I look foward to learning the ropes.

- Courtesy link: Draft:COVERSE. --ColinFine (talk) 12:02, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- I suspect that what the reviewer means is that the article is written from the point of view of the subject. 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.

15:10, 19 January 2024 review of submission by Wnayans
A Car Accident Lawyer Wiki website holds significant importance for several reasons:
Information Access: It provides valuable information about legal services, resources, and expertise related to car accidents. Users can learn about their rights, the legal process, and how a lawyer can assist them. [7]
Credibility and Trust: A well-designed website instills trust and credibility in potential clients. It showcases the lawyer's expertise, experience, testimonials, and case studies, which can help establish confidence in their abilities.
Accessibility: A website ensures accessibility 24/7, allowing individuals involved in accidents to seek immediate information and assistance regardless of the time or their location. Wnayans (talk) 15:10, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- We're not interested in helping your potential customers. This is an encyclopedia of notable topics, not an advertising platform. The draft was rejected and now deleted. You must disclose your relationship with this website, see WP:COI and WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 15:14, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a place for you to promote your website/business. This has been recreated by so many sock accounts over the last year and then gets swiftly deleted - Just stop already! You clearly have not read and understood the basic General notability guideline. Stop wasting both our time and yours - this will never be accepted. KylieTastic (talk) 15:14, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
15:46, 19 January 2024 review of submission by KSuffolk
I was wondering if I need to add more references to the wikipedia article. KSuffolk (talk) 15:46, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- @KSuffolk: well, given that large chunks of this draft (not yet 'article') are completely unreferenced, it sure would be nice to know where all this information is coming from? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

We give the full details of Pankaj Chandel but still you don't approved the article, please help us what more to add a profile in Wikipedia. KahlurIndia (talk) 17:16, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- We don't have profiles here, not a single one. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of articles. If you want to write a profile, use social media or another website. Your draft has no inline references; see referencing for beginners. You don't seem to have any independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this man, showing how he meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. 331dot (talk) 17:21, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
18:02, 19 January 2024 review of submission by Sczajic
My submission of an article/stub on Marley Blonsky was rejected on the basis that the references "do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". I respectfully disagree. The subject has been profiled in well-known media outlets including CNN and Outside Magazine, demonstrating both specific and significant coverage, in published and reliable sources. How may I appeal this decision? Sczajic (talk) 18:02, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Sczajic: firstly, your draft was not rejected, which would mean the end of the road for it; only declined, which means you can resubmit it, once you've addressed the decline reason. For that reason, also, there is no need to 'appeal' anything, only to improve the draft further.
- We would typically need to see 3+ sources that meet the WP:GNG standard. Note that this excludes interviews, as well as articles that are clearly based on interviews even if they aren't necessarily formatted as such. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:14, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, this is helpful! I will expand and revise my draft by adding several additional references from national media outlets, of which there are no shortage. Sczajic (talk) 18:30, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- The thing to remember, Sczajic, is that 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.

19:46, 19 January 2024 review of submission by Hihydra
This product has a high reputation in mainland China. In this case, is it acceptable? Hihydra (talk) 19:46, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Are you connected to this company, @Hihydra? Qcne (talk) 19:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hihydra, your only reference is a link to an app store. This is promotional and of no value in establishing notability. What is required are several references to reliable sources that devote significant coverage to NeaChat that are also completely independent of NeaChat and its developers and promoters. As for the "high reputation" in China, who says so? Cullen328 (talk) 20:20, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I have no connection with this company. I learned about this company when I attended an artificial intelligence training course organized by Microsoft. I was attracted by their concept of providing artificial intelligence-based education solutions to China and other countries and regions with unequal educational resources. And it is free for educators to use. I try to let more people know what they are doing because they are making a free contribution to education. I think there's a correlation between a product's popularity and how long it's been in development, and from what I understand, they've only been around for a short time. Before collecting Wikipedia information, I got in touch with friends in the education industry in China. Their products are very popular among teachers. Hihydra (talk) 21:10, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hihydra, everything that you wrote after you denied a connection to the company is of no interest on Wikipedia. All that matters here is the coverage that independent reliable sources devote to NeaChat, and accurately summarizing it. Nothing else. Cullen328 (talk) 22:20, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I found this, does it meet the source criteria?

- Adamplevinson (talk · contribs) (TB)
I am being told that by a reviewer that we should only cite 5-7 of Kaminski's book? Why? I checked the Wikipedia pages for two of my other favorite historians: Richard Brookhiser and Joseph Ellis. Brookhiser's page lists 17 books. Ellis' page lists 14 books.
I would be happy to add links to all of Kaminski's books, in addition to listing them. Would this be worthwhile? We could also add the ISBN number, as is the case for other historians?
Thanks Adamplevinson (talk) 00:55, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- The reviewer is referring to WP:THREE. Only the three best sources should be added to an article for each claim. This is also true for the external links. Eternal Shadow Talk 01:18, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Adamplevinson: because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and articles are meant to provide summarised information about a subject, in this case highlights of their noteworthy output, not a comprehensive catalogue of everything they ever wrote. A hypothetical point, but: wouldn't you agree that it's clearer and more effective to list the 2-3 works someone is famous for, and mention that they also wrote 30+ others, rather than list all 38 works, among which the 2-3 notable ones get lost? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:16, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

06:09, 20 January 2024 review of submission by Youprayteas
I have seen very little villages and towns with absloutely no significancy and only one reference having articles, why is it not possible for my article which has four sources and plenty of information about the neighborhood to be accepted? It makes no sense to me. Youprayteas (talk) 06:09, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Youprayteas: never mind what other articles you may have seen, that's not how we assess new drafts (see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). The relevant notability guideline here is WP:GEOLAND, and judging by the fact that you describe this (somewhat opaquely) as a 'neighbourhood', it seems the 2nd bullet point applies. That tells you what you need to do to demonstrate notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:19, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- PS: The infobox classifies this as a 'municipality', but I don't think that's correct; presumably Kadıköy is the actual municipality? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- I fixed this issue. I understand that I must not compare my article with others, but how is it possible that articles with very limited references and villages with no significancy (Beyyazı, Işıklar, Yağcılar, Yeşilyurt and MANY MANY more, perhaps over 200 articles like this) can be accepted? Who accepted these and when and why not mine? Youprayteas (talk) 06:39, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Youprayteas: there are 6.7m+ articles in the English-language Wikipedia, and they came about in many different ways. Not every article was 'accepted': some are so old that they pre-date the AfC review process entirely; others may have been published by users with sufficient permissions to publish directly; others still may have simply slipped through the proverbial net.
- If you have found articles that you don't think meet our notability guidelines, you're welcome to improve them, or if this cannot be done, initiate deletion proceedings.
- Also worth noting that what you describe as "significancy" may not necessarily translate to notability (Wikipedia's core requirement for inclusion in the encyclopaedia), or vice versa. Again, I would refer you to WP:GEOLAND, which sets out the applicable standard; or alternatively to WP:GNG, which applies to pretty much any topic.
- HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:11, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- I submitted my draft again. I added government sources for the population and the neighborhood classifications. Hopefully this time it will be accepted but if not I will keep improving it until it does. Youprayteas (talk) 07:13, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

- Noting also this conversation on my Talk. User_talk:Star_Mississippi#I_have_fixed_the_issues_you_told_me. It may just be a case of WP:NOPAGE. Star Mississippi 16:46, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Why can’t it be just a WP:PERMA? Youprayteas (talk) 18:28, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Because they still must meet notability guidelines, which the draft does not as of yet.
- Please read the advice you have been given here, on my Talk and in the draft to either improve the article (and re-submit it) or edit the mainspace. Star Mississippi 19:12, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have seven sources, 3 of them are government sources for population and division inside of Turkey. The other 4 are travel blogs and news sites “neutral about the topic”. I gave information about 4 popular places in the neighborhood. 7 sources are well enough for a stub article which its purpose is to be a stub anyway. Youprayteas (talk) 19:34, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Neither government sources nor travel blogs are appropriate sources.
- @DoubleGrazing and I have linked the information that you need to read and @KylieTastic provided information when they declined your draft as well. You are welcome to resubmit the draft, but please read WP:NOPAGE, WP:SIRS (which applies beyond organizations) and WP:GEOLAND to understand the issues otherwise it's very likely that another editor will also decline the draft. Rather than focusing on a new article, which is one of the hardest things, you can edit reliably sourced information to the main article. I'm not sure what your resistance is. Star Mississippi 19:42, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have read all three. WP:GEOLAND says if it is populated, it is significant. Caddebostan has a population of over 21000. I'm pretty tired of this conversation though and I didn't see anything about travel blogs (second-hand independent sources). The government resources are purely for the population and legality of the neighborhood. Youprayteas (talk) 06:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Youprayteas: with respect, you may have read GEOLAND, but it's not clear that you've understood it. It clearly says that populated places with legal recognition are typically presumed (=/= are) notable; whereas those without legal recognition need to satisfy WP:GNG. The latter is expressly stated to include unofficial neighborhoods, which yours may (or may not – TBD) be. You can't just cherry-pick those bits of the guideline that suit your purposes, you need to consider every aspect of them. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:50, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have 15 sources, some blogs, some news sites, some government sources now. I have improved my article drastically as I said. I literally added the government database for neighborhoods and districts. Youprayteas (talk) 08:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

The latter is expressly stated to include unofficial neighborhoods, which yours may (or may not – TBD) be. You can't just cherry-pick those bits of the guideline that suit your purposes, you need to consider every aspect of them. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:50, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you for your help. Are the issues resolved, by the way? I tried to add as many sources as I could find that, are at some level, reliable. I also added a lot of extra information about the neighborhood to show that it is notable. I sourced some databases that classify Caddebostan as a neighborhood.

- I have read all three. WP:GEOLAND says if it is populated, it is significant. Caddebostan has a population of over 21000. I'm pretty tired of this conversation though and I didn't see anything about travel blogs (second-hand independent sources). The government resources are purely for the population and legality of the neighborhood. Youprayteas (talk) 06:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have seven sources, 3 of them are government sources for population and division inside of Turkey. The other 4 are travel blogs and news sites “neutral about the topic”. I gave information about 4 popular places in the neighborhood. 7 sources are well enough for a stub article which its purpose is to be a stub anyway. Youprayteas (talk) 19:34, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

- Your draft does not have a single cited source. It cannot be accepted as a Wikipedia article in this form.
- First find sources, which are reliably published, completely unconnected with the team, and contain significant coverage of the team.
- If you can't find these, then you'll know that the team does not meet Wikiepdia's criteria for notability, and not to spend any more time on it.
- If you can, write an article based on what those sources say. You can add a little uncontroversial factual information from non-independent sources (which you should still cite), but the bulk of the article shoud be a summary of what those indpendent commentators have published.

I am new to publishing my Biography on Wikipedia. I tried to include links to help search some of the information I included but it seems the links are not accepted. Please can you tell me what I need to add or remove to help my page go online Frankywright (talk) 12:12, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Frankywright Wikipedia is not a place for people to write about themselves, please read the autobiography policy. Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the subject, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of notability- like a notable person. Put another way, we don't want to know what you say is important about yourself, we want to know what others unaffiliated with you say is important about you.
- You have no sources in your draft at all, and seems to read like a social media-style page. Names of minor children are not included in articles about a person unless those children themselves merit articles. 331dot (talk) 12:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

I am only trying to create a presence online. Frankywright (talk) 13:11, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Frankywright Please read the Five Pillars of Wikipedia. You misunderstand what it is we do here on Wikipedia. This is not social media where people tell about themselves, and we are not concerned with the "online presence" of anyone. If you are a "normal, everyday person", it is doubtful that you merit a Wikipedia article. The vast majority of the 8 billion people on this planet do not; I certainly do not. If independent reliable sources do not on their own write about you and tell what makes you important, you do not merit a Wikipedia article. I don't mean to sound mean, I'm just trying to explain this to you clearly. I suggest that you focus your efforts on actual social media websites, like Facebook/LinkedIn/or others, or create a personal website to tell the world about yourself. 331dot (talk) 13:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

I did my best in discovering as many references as I could here and it feels like a worthy entry.

- @Trumpetguy19: user-generated content is not considered reliable, as anyone can say pretty much anything they want; in the case of your draft, this means Weebly, Wordpress, Vimeo, YouTube (unless it's an unedited video published directly by a reliable source), and Facebook. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:35, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi DoubleGrazing. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll go back in and remove the self-published stuff. Quick question though, how do I show that a YouTube video is unedited from a reliable source? Also one of the Wordpress sources is an official website of the local history division of the local library in Rochester. Is it still unreliable due to source type regardless of author? Trumpetguy19 (talk) 13:18, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Trumpetguy19. YouTube content uploaded from a verified official account, such as that of a news organisation, may be treated as originating from the uploader and therefore inheriting their level of reliability. The key thing to ask is "Does this account have editorial oversight?".
- The Wordpress blog is fine, as it is coming from the subject matter expert (the Library).
- I would just add you should only have one or two external links as per WP:EXTERNAL. Qcne (talk) 13:33, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Trumpetguy19: if the YouTube video is published on the official channel of a reliable source (especially the original one), we can assume it to be legit; anything else, I'd be cautious, as it's far too easy for anyone to 'doctor' the content.
- As for the WordPress blog, it may well be the "official website" of an organisation, but it is still a blog, ie. a primary source with almost certainly very little or no editorial control. It's not that you categorically cannot cite a source like that, but you should certainly keep such citations to a minimum. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:33, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

my recent submission was rejected because the lack of reliable sources. In case of a biography of a living person what is a reliable source other than his/her personal page and CV? FMurano (talk) 19:47, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- 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.

- @Bradley112358: the links listed in the 'References' section aren't really references, they're just links to external websites (and their home pages, at that, which is not very useful). Referencing needs to support the information in the article/draft, ie. when you make a statement, you hang onto it a reference to a specific source that actually verifies what you've said.
- Also, please get into the habit of using the preferred method of inline citations and footnotes, as explained in WP:ILC. See WP:REFB for advice.

13:15, 23 January 2024 review of submission by Kurt3449
Hello there - advice please re lacking significant coverage for Sallie Aprahamian. My research has returned no resources to verify Sallie in the way that the guidelines describe. And having corresponded with her she is unaware of anything more substantial.
Are there any other tactics or conditions that can be met to gain approval? It would seem a shame to not be able to link to a page about her from the other wiki pages that mention her.
Best wishes. Kurt3449 (talk) 13:15, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'm really sorry @Kurt3449, if there are no sources with significant coverage of Sallie which are both independent of her and reliable, then there can be no article at this time. Qcne (talk) 13:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to help. After quite the pot of coffee I've found a podcast recording of Sallie being interviewed at a Dr Who convention! [ https://radiofreeskaro.com/2020/02/15/radio-free-skaro-729-these-go-to-eleven/ , timecode 1:09:45]. I wonder, before I commit to editing, if you consider this appropriate for the criteria.

Hi! The draft for the English version of the Bethlehem Mission Society was declined. I do not understand why, because it is the exact same content as on the German site. There, there are 26 very good references to back the content. Have a look: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionsgesellschaft_Bethlehem The Bethlehem Mission Society is a traditional religious society with a long history. You can find several articles about the Society in newspapers from all over the world. Please reconsider? Best 83.173.205.85 (talk) 14:35, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- The German Wikipedia(and every other language Wikipedia) is a separate project, with its own editors and policies. What is acceptable there is not necessarily acceptable here. The English Wikipedia tends to be stricter than others. If you believe that the sources you provided meet our standards of a reliable source, you may wish to discuss that with the reviewer directly- as they may not understand German in order to examine the sources. 331dot (talk) 14:38, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Just to add also that there appears to be quite a lot of unreferenced content in this draft, with entire paragraphs and sections even without a single citation, begging the obvious questions (that no reviewer or reader should ever have to ask) – where is all this information coming from, and how do we know it's true? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:45, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
16:01, 23 January 2024 review of submission by AmitabhCS
Hi, Writing on a technical topic of your expertise? My draft was declined for the want of `independent' sources. There's a few tricky questions here: the topic is of a technical nature (a new result/algorithm in Computer Science). The citations/sources are all peer-reviewed high quality publications in the research area. I am an expert in the area (I am a University Professor) and co-author of many of these articles. The wiki article is not talking about myself in a personal capacity or making any subjective judgement. The question is what needs to be fixed to have it published? I could add other work as sources which does not have me as a co-author. Alternatively, I could even ask somebody who's not an author on these sources to write a wiki article on the same topic (Can they use the same title?).
Please advise.
Regards. AmitabhCS (talk) 16:01, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- @AmitabhCS: the core concept of notability, which is a fundamental requirement for inclusion in Wikipedia, means that (and I quote from WP:GNG)
"a topic is presumed [notable] when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"
. The 'sources', in plural, is usually considered to mean three or more. One author writing in multiple publications is arguably just one source; therefore, in answer to your question, yes, it would help if we could see publications by other authors as well. - There is also the question of bias, as in does citing only or mainly one author, even if the papers are peer-reviewed, introduce a source bias into the article? I'm not necessarily saying that applies here, but I'm sure you will appreciate the inherent risks in person X writing an encyclopaedia article about a topic, and supporting it mostly with sources authored by... person X. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- AmitabhCS I fixed your link for proper display- the whole url is not needed. 331dot (talk) 16:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Appreciate that. I suppose I do know of at least three publications which don't have any common author, so I could add that. Hopefully they adddress both your points. Please let me know if there are any other suggestions.
- As a point of discussion, I understand your bias argument but I see it difficult to apply when you are quoting technical results (not assigning subjective value judgements) which are already verified (i.e. peer reviewed) by experts in the field. Of course, there could be a danger that the peer reviewed publcations are themselves poor (not in this case) so you could not rely on that process. AmitabhCS (talk) 16:33, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- @AmitabhCS: if memory serves, a certain Andrew Wakefield had a peer-reviewed paper published, in no lesser journal than The Lancet, showing a link between the MMR vaccine and autism... I jest, of course. :)
- The serious point I wanted to make, bias aside, is that notability at its heart demonstrates that the subject is being talked or written about widely enough to justify its inclusion in the 'pedia; hence the requirement for multiple reliable and independent sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:45, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

- - TechCrunch is an unreliable source.
- - Medium is an unreliable source.
- - sitepoint works as an okay source.
- - visualstudiomagazine works as an okay source.
- - The GitHub Blog does not show notability.
- - OpenCorporates is a database entry, does not show notability.

My draft was repeatedly declined even when I tried to add multiple reliable, independent, secondary sources that substantially talk about Han. I know there still is something wrong... what kind of sources and how many would I need to add? (assuming they all would prove that this merits a Wikipedia article). I still think that Han merits its own wikipedia article the same way that Albert HUBO and Sophia do, but how would the article itself be good? 2600:8802:3A0B:3000:1C76:3507:4076:8EBF (talk) 18:08, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'd say this is borderline. The first and last sources are primary, so they don't count. The Wired piece seems pretty solid. The Business Insider is normally not considered very reliable (per WP:BI), but on this occasion it's syndicating Reuters which may be okay. The third, AI Magazine, only provides a brief profile, which doesn't really add up to significant coverage. If you could find one more source that squarely meets the WP:GNG standard, that would probably be enough to get this over the line. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:28, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not understanding why this article was declined for lack of significant coverage based on the guidelines. I have charted on the Americana chart, won multiple national songwriting competitions, toured internationally at major venues and alongside numerous artists with wikipedia pages, and been written up in multiple national publications like USA Today, American Songwriter and the Wall Street Journal. Rather than pretend to be a third party, I admitted to being both the subject and submitter for the sake of transparency and did not include a single fact that was not backed up by objective sources not composed by myself or anyone I worked with. Please advise. Thank you. 2600:1700:5D50:980:EC79:9137:B3E6:CEB8 (talk) 18:59, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

- I am not exactly qualified to give advice, but also, by the fact that you're using first person, it appears that you are the subject. Before trying to create an article about yourself, please consider Wikipedia: an article about yourself is not necessarily a good thing and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. 2600:8802:3A0B:3000:5403:33A2:1B36:C26 (talk) 20:49, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

- I read the article closely and did everything I could to avoid writing the draft as anything but factual. There is an annotation on every piece of information and no language that expressed an opinion. I'm not sure I understand what more an indie artist is supposed to have in their history beyond 16 years of album releases and touring with national press, appearances on nationally syndicated radio shows like NPR Mountain Stage, inclusion on iTunes charting podcasts like Welcome to Night Vale, wins at national songwriting competitions, and multiple cross references on Wikipedia. At this point, having worked hard to learn the site and frankly enjoying creating this draft, I largely just want to understand what's missing. 2600:1700:5D50:980:EC79:9137:B3E6:CEB8 (talk) 21:52, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

- Reference 1: Amazon. Selling books, not giving independent coverage of anything. Doesn't mention Halevi.
- 2. Discussion of the essay, but little coverage of Grunsfeld.
- 3. Selling books, and doesn't mention Halevi.
- 4. Doesn't mention Grunsfeld/Halevi
- 5. There is a passing mention of "Efraim Grunsfeld" (which is a combination of names that doesn't appear in the article, but is presumably the subject). Just a passing mention, no significant coverage.
- 6. Bad link
- 7. Doesn't mention Halevi.
- 8. Might be good: I haven't seen the text. But it doesn't sound from the title as if it contains an in-depth independent coverage of Halevi.
- 9. Passing mention, in a non-independent source
- 10. Unpublished (or at best self-published work).
- With the possible exception of no 8, not one of these references contributes to establishing notability in the sense that Wikipedia uses the word.
- The first task in creating a Wikipedia article is to find several sources that meet the golden rule: they are reliably published, wholly independent of the subject, and contain significant coverage of the subject. If you don't find such sources, then writing so much as a single word of an article is a waste of time. ColinFine (talk) 19:03, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

- Niklas.Andersson.95 (talk · contribs) (TB)
I am working again on this Theoria page, and I am wondering if it is possible to have the paragraphs that are unsupported by secondary sources hosted elsewhere, as in an archive. So if one wanted to read more about the journal, they could go there instead. Also, can someone help me clean up the texts on this page, as English is not my primary language. And is there a way to make the academic journal indexing automatically update for the page? Niklas.Andersson.95 (talk) 10:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Niklas.Andersson.95: if by "hosted elsewhere" you mean elsewhere on Wikipedia, then no; elsewhere on an external site – sure!
- I'm a bit confused as to why the content cannot be supported by referencing. Surely all that information must have come from somewhere, so just cite the source(s). That said, I don't think there is actually all that much unreferenced content.
- Our main concern here at AfC is notability. If you can show that this journal passes WP:NJOURNALS, it could probably be accepted, and just tagged for any remaining issues. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:37, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Yes, I meant hosted externally. Sorry for the confusion! Most of this work is produced through interviews that I had with members of Theoria, meaning first-person accounts, so there are no secondary sources to corroborate them. But the interviews are externally hosted, so they can be read elsewhere. I have linked them to the sources. And in regards to notability, I would argue that Theoria fulfills at least one of the stated criteria for notability, which then should be enough if I am reading the notability page correctly. Niklas.Andersson.95 (talk) 10:48, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Niklas.Andersson.95: ah, okay, got it. Personal interviews and recollections like that wouldn't be acceptable sources anyway, as sources must be published. In that case, my advice would be to remove such content, as you're implying by suggesting to host it elsewhere.
- Which criterion of NJOURNALS does it fulfil, and what evidence is there to support that? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, the sources are publicly accessible, but I think I understand that might not be enough. Regarding the notability, Theoria is listed on the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), which is what the notability page states is a requirement for fulfilling C1.
- here is the link to the journal on SSCI: https://mjl.clarivate.com:/search-results?issn=0040-5817&hide_exact_match_fl=true&utm_source=mjl&utm_medium=share-by-link&utm_campaign=journal-profile-share-this-journal Niklas.Andersson.95 (talk) 11:18, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Niklas.Andersson.95: yep, that would indeed seem to satisfy C1.b of NJOURNALS; I'll make a note of that in the draft.
- Once you've removed (or referenced) the unsupported content, you can either resubmit the draft, or ping me (or drop by my talk page) and I'll review it myself. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, thank you! How do I ping you? Sorry, I am still learning how to edit here on Wikipedia.

- @Niklas.Andersson.95: see {{Ping}}. (Note that just @'ing someone doesn't do the trick.)

Niklas.Andersson.95 (talk) 12:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Yes, I meant hosted externally. Sorry for the confusion! Most of this work is produced through interviews that I had with members of Theoria, meaning first-person accounts, so there are no secondary sources to corroborate them. But the interviews are externally hosted, so they can be read elsewhere. I have linked them to the sources. And in regards to notability, I would argue that Theoria fulfills at least one of the stated criteria for notability, which then should be enough if I am reading the notability page correctly.

Здравствуйте! Подскажите, почему был отклонен черновик? Что необходимо изменить в статье? 20 Екатерина (talk) 10:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- @20 Екатерина: this is the English-language Wikipedia; please communicate in English, thanks. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:44, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! Can you tell me why the draft was rejected? What needs to be changed in the article? 20 Екатерина (talk) 10:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- And if you mean this draft User:20 Екатерина/sandbox, then that was declined for the same reason, of not being in English. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Can you tell me what was missing in my article, so I can improve it, and publish it Dishant Valmiki (talk) 13:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Did you read the comment @Dishant Valmiki left by the reviewer? You cannot use Wikipedia as a source. Sources must be reliable, independent, and preferably seconary. Qcne (talk) 13:42, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I am curious to hear whether I have addressed the reviewer's comments adequately. Should I resubmit to find out, or should I ask this question here? Stef joosten (talk) 13:24, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Stef joosten: please resubmit. For us here at the help desk to be able to comment on notability, we would have to review the article anyway, and that's not really what the help desk is for.
- BTW, given that you appear (?) to be a (co-)author of many of the sources cited, what is your relationship with this subject? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
13:25, 25 January 2024 review of submission by Mk6778
My article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Federico_Bardazzi was rejected for the following reasons: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified." but I included 47 References in the article, which is also a simple translation of the article https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federico_Bardazzi properly online and approved. Which References do you think they refer to? Also since the Italian article is approved, why is the English article not? Sorry for my English Mk6778 (talk) 13:25, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Mk6778, did you read the comment left by the reviewer?
- For the same reason this was moved to draftspace. There is a lot of information in this draft that does not contain a source. You will need to either remove that information or add an WP:INCITE reference that verifies Qcne (talk) 13:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- I read a comment, but the information does not contain source, what is it? events in Biography? The italian article has the same references as the English one.
- for examples: During the same year, he began collaborating with various ensembles, including the Toscanini Orchestra of Parma, the ORT - Orchestra della Toscana, the Abruzzo Symphonic Institution, and the orchestral groups of the Fiesole School of Music.
- thanks for your answer Mk6778 (talk) 17:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Mk6778,
- The Italian and English Wikipedias are separate project with very different referencing requirements. Every statement in your draft must have an in-line citation. Qcne (talk) 20:05, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- So does this paragraph also need references?

What is the reason my article is not being published. Where as many sources has been provided. Kindly help.

Reviewing this draft and while there are also issues with lacking inline citations, I believe a good portion of this was AI-generated- specifically the Production subsection. Is that grounds for copyvio? Not sure what the policy is. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 14:49, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- @EmeraldRange Even if its not AI generated its completely inappropriate for Wikipedia so I would decline it on tone grounds. AI work cannot yet be copyrighted so its not a copyvio. Qcne (talk) 14:58, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

The submission is claimed to appear to "read more like an advertisement" and needs more sources. Is there a specific area that needs extra attention to avoid such issues? 138.246.3.242 (talk) 15:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Not really any specific are. The whole draft reads like what the Institute wants the world to know about itself.
- Wikipedia doesn't care what the Institute wants the world to know about it: what Wikipedia is interested in is what people unconnected with the Institute have chosen to publish about it. ColinFine (talk) 23:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

This isnt a question about editing, but I was wondering if I would be allowed to post this article to a fandom community while I wait until Red Leather himself meets all requirements to have a wikipedia page. LunaSparks (talk) 00:42, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- You would have to ask the relevant Fandom community; you would need to attribute the posting there to Wikipedia to just reuse it elsewhere. 331dot (talk) 09:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
07:47, 26 January 2024 review of submission by HAL 7C0
I find the reason given ('topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia') for rejecting the submission difficult to understand and very subjective. Depending on the interests of the person making the decision, this entry may be more or less relevant. The fact is that mital-U is an independent music label that has produced some relevant releases (including chart entries in Germany + Austria with Eisbaer by Grauzone, as well as Record of the Week of the song automaten by mittageisen on the John Peel Radio Show BBC1). Therefore, I would be grateful for a reversal of the rejection and an indication of where there might be a need for additions to the list. HAL 7C0 (talk) 07:47, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- @HAL 7C0: this draft was declined five times before being rejected. I'd say that's plenty of opportunity to demonstrate notability, but if this isn't forthcoming, then eventually we have to reject as we can't keep reviewing the same draft indefinitely.
- Notability of companies is defined in WP:CORP, and there is very little, if any, subjectivity in that guideline. It certainly does not in any way consider the "interests of the person", or "relevance" of the subject (whatever that means, exactly). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
14:59, 26 January 2024 review of submission by JuniperChill
First thing, is the layout of the article Sun Haven alright? I have been looking at other video games that are released in 2023 like Coral Island (video game) and My Time at Sandrock.
And second, are reliable sources required since I think none of them (other than the link to the official website presented in the 'external links' section) are primary sources. I feel like the main reason for my article being rejected (even though I put a few reviews on that game) is because of the fact that there are little to no reliable sources for Sun Haven at WP:VG/S and does not really meet GNG even though I thought it just creeps it (see the history) Although I did find a few reviews of it. There is also not currently a Metacritic review. I was thinking this game is quite popular it is more popular than Fae Farm IMO but I think what matters is that not how popular it is but if there are at least a couple of reliable sources. The closest I can find is from RPS but that is not its own page.
As well as my comment here, you should see the reviewers one too. JuniperChill (talk) 14:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @JuniperChill: in short, yes, reliable sources are very much required, because everything you say must be supported by (ie. come from, in practice) a reliable source. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
19:20, 26 January 2024 review of submission by 2603:3024:1526:EB00:90DF:2BAB:6CC3:EDC0
This band was a very well known 1990s punk band. I can provide many more references. I wanted to ask which type you find most credible - 1) Scholarly Journals, 2) rock/music magazines, 3) fan pages, videos. -- One of their songs is a viral tiktok song - the #yeastiegirlz hashtag on TikTok has 2.5M views. They were on Lookout records, there are lookout bands with Wikipedia pages that I would argue are much less significant that the Yeastie Girlz. I am sure that I can meet the standard, but I want to know what sort of references that best meet your requirements. Thank you. 2603:3024:1526:EB00:90DF:2BAB:6CC3:EDC0 (talk) 19:20, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Scholarly Journals and rock/music magazines would be best, fan pages and videos would confer zero notability. TikTok views confer zero notability. Theroadislong (talk) 20:15, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
