{{Lafc|username=Ncouture|ts=17:49, 3 October 2024|draft=Draft:Polymer_Cement_Concrete}}
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Polymer_Cement_Concrete was asked to be moved to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_Concrete after "being improved" but I cannot locate where the improvements wanted are outlined.

Can someone please advise?

In addition, I understand the fact that I have created the [[draft:Polymer Cement Concrete]] and [[draft:Polymer Modified Concrete]] under sub-pages of [[Polymer Concrete]] and that "is [[contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars]" but there is no explanation as to why it is.

Could someone please explain? [[User:Ncouture|Nicolas Couture]] ([[User talk:Ncouture|talk]]) 17:49, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

03:14, 27 September 2024 review of submission by Dark, the Editor

How can I delete my draft Dark, the Editor (talk) 03:14, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have put a tag on the draft requesting deletion. Next time you want to request that a page you have created be deleted, you can edit it and add the tag {{db-author}} at the top. --bonadea contributions talk 07:31, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

05:01, 27 September 2024 review of submission by VikrantG0095

I'm a beginner. i don't have a idea writing a article . VikrantG0095 (talk) 05:01, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's best not to attempt the difficult task of writing a new article until you have an idea of what the process is and what is being looked for. Please use the new user tutorial and spend much time editing existing articles in areas that interest you first, to learn how things work here.
Note that writing about yourself is highly discouraged, please read the autobiography policy. Wikipedia is not a place to post your resume or to tell the world about yourself. Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability; like a notable person. 331dot (talk) 08:18, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:46, 27 September 2024 review of submission by JD John M. Turner

How many more sources are needed in the article? JD John M. Turner (talk) 11:46, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JD John M. Turner To establish notability, we usually look for at least three sources which are each independent of the subject, from reliable places, and provide significant coverage.
To be honest I think you've probably got enough sources to show notability, so I am pinging in @Tavantius to see if they have any thoughts. Qcne (talk) 11:51, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some parts of the article are unsourced. If @JD John M. Turner can source those, I'll accept it. Tavantius (talk) 12:25, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Tavantius, I'm uncertain about which sections of the article require additional sources. I assume that the content not backed by sources ought to be removed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ JD John M. Turner (talk) 05:37, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

13:32, 27 September 2024 review of submission by Aidillia

I don't understand why @98Tigerius declined the submission and stated "please resubmit after the series airs" can anybody explain? i don't think there's a problem with submission per WP:TVSERIES. Aidillia (talk) 13:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aidillia: the problem with unreleased films and TV programmes is that the sources are invariably just pre-launch publicity. We don't want to see what the producers' marketing teams have said, we want to see what independent and reliable third parties have said, without any inducement by the producers.
Resubmitting a declined draft without any improvement is not helpful. If you disagree with the reviewer's assessment, you're welcome to publish this yourself, since you have the necessary permissions. Just be aware that New Page Patrol applies the same criteria (more or less) to newly published articles as we do, so publishing this against the AfC reviewer's advice may result in the article being sent back to drafts anyway, or worse, deleted. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, now i understand. Aidillia (talk) 09:47, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:51, 27 September 2024 review of submission by Madison Durand

Hello,

I removed external links from the body and converted them to references. I would like to know what else I need to do to ensure that this draft is not rejected or deleted.

Thank you. Madison Durand (talk) 14:51, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't really do pre-review reviews here, the best way to get feedback is to submit it. Even if rejected I don't see why it would be deleted. It won't be rejected if you've made changes and there seems to be at least a prospect that the subject merits a Wikipedia article and it is properly sourced.
You took a very professional looking picture of the professor and he posed for you. What is your connection to him? 331dot (talk) 14:54, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

17:59, 27 September 2024 review of submission by 216.106.47.88

When I click on the blue words in the English version clothing sections, a note comes up saying “this page does not exist (saraguells). The page does exist in Spanish https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarag%C3%BCell. Does this mean you won’t be redirected there until it is translated, or what? (Umlauts over the U) I don’t need an answer, but just thought this might need fixing. 216.106.47.88 (talk) 17:59, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18:54, 27 September 2024 review of submission by Cassandra L from NELP

Hi! I need some assistance and recommendations on amending this piece so it sounds less like an advertisement. I see some tone shifts I could make in the first paragraph, but I'd also appreciate some recommendations in general as I continue to work on this. Thank you! Cassandra L from NELP (talk) 18:54, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You've summarized the work of your organization, but not what independent reliable sources say is important about the work of your organization and how that makes the organization notable as Wikipedia defines it. You've largely summarized primary sources like House/Senate websites and said things like it "advocated" or "led" for certain policies. I get that you think what your organization does is important- and it may be so- but we need independent sources that state your organization had a particular influence on a policy or other government decision. 331dot (talk) 19:02, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your specific feedback and find it a huge help. I will do some additional research to see if there are sources that are not just citing my organization for its research, but specifically crediting it for work on specific policies. Thanks @331dot. Cassandra L from NELP (talk) 19:54, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

07:17, 28 September 2024 review of submission by Luterceiro

Hi folks, I would love some advice on this matter. I haven't used generative AI, but I used a lot of Grammarly here. Is it possible to continue editing the article and improving it? I'm new to Wikipedia and planning to improve the article; however, now I don't know if the best is to try and edit it (I'll try this way, but not sure if it is the best alternative). Thanks a lot for any guidance!

Kind regards, Luciana Luterceiro (talk) 07:17, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Luterceiro: this draft has been rejected, and will therefore not be considered further.
...at least not in its present state. If you were to rewrite it in your own words, there might be some prospect of turning it into an acceptable article. The reasons for this (need to rewrite) are two-fold, IMO:
  1. There are potential copyright issues associated with generative tools, because they tend to take content from unknown sources, and either straight-up copypaste snippets, or at least closely paraphrase them. We have tools available to detect this, but they're not quite 'water tight'.
  2. This draft has a vaguely promotional feel to it, which is inappropriate for an encyclopaedia. We want to see 'boringly factual' description, without unnecessary hyperbole and embellishment.
HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:33, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, @DoubleGrazing, thanks for the feedback! I rewrote big parts and added the references, but I didn't work on the promotional feel aspect. I'll review it again. Thanks a lot for the guidance! Luterceiro (talk) 08:22, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Luterceiro. Thanks for the good-faith edits. I will revert my rejection, and I think this could be a viable article once the vaguely promotional tone has been removed. Qcne (talk) 11:38, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I tried to remove it, but I'm still trying to find the right tone, so let me know if I need to make more changes. Thanks for all the guidance! Luterceiro (talk) 13:13, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the key is to find a reliable source and then paraphrase/summarise that in your own words, sticking to a tone that is strictly neutral. Try and pretend you're writing an autopsy of the subject. Some good words to avoid are at WP:PEACOCK. Qcne (talk) 14:27, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Luterceiro: The crucial thing to remember if you use any automated tools such as Grammarly is that you must check every single change the tool recommends and make an informed decision about whether it is a good, bad, or zero-sum change. Most of the changes suggested by Grammarly will not be improvements, and a lot of them will introduce errors into a text that was perfectly fine. --bonadea contributions talk 13:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:01, 28 September 2024 review of submission by Editorrking

Reason for rejection Editorrking (talk) 08:01, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Editorrking: this draft wasn't rejected (which is terminal), only declined, although it probably should have been (rejected). The decline reasons are given in the decline notice, namely: insufficient referencing, and lack of evidence of notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:31, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Editorrking, your one sentence draft tells the reader that this person is a social worker and a student. Do you really think that every social worker and every student on planet Earth should be the subject of an encyclopedia article? Cullen328 (talk) 08:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

15:43, 28 September 2024 review of submission by 103.48.160.35

It cannot be a reason for rejection. Reason Judge about the article Check the references to see if the article is correct. 103.48.160.35 (talk) 15:43, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

16:00, 28 September 2024 review of submission by T Lowndes

Do citations have to link to a wikipedia entry, or can they be an external reference?

Thanks T Lowndes (talk) 16:00, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@T Lowndes: links to other Wikipedia articles are not citations, they are internal links, or 'wikilinks'. For referencing purposes, you need to cite external sources, specifically the ones that have provided the information in a given statement. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:11, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Articles can't cite other articles; rather, use the sources from the associated articles as you go along. See also WP:CIRCULAR. However, citations sometimes do have links to published authors/editors with WP profiles (via |author-last=, |author-first=, |author-link= &c.) whenever the {{cite}} series is used.
For further assistance, please see Help:Referencing for beginners or ask around at WP:Teahouse. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 08:23, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

19:59, 28 September 2024 review of submission by 76.220.74.234

this person is a prominent figure in sports media and has been on ESPN and many major podcasts 76.220.74.234 (talk) 19:59, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't much specific coverage about Kenny King Jr. as an athlete in mainstream sports media, but his journey and voice in sports are visible through his work as a podcaster and sports commentator. Kenny King Jr. is known for his podcast, Real Talk with Kenny King Jr., where he discusses football, especially with a focus on the Las Vegas Raiders, as well as pop culture and interviews with fellow athletes​(
Vegas Sports Today
)​(
Home | Blue Wire Podcasts
).
King's athletic background includes playing as a defensive lineman in high school and junior college football, where he earned All-League honors. He later played at Temple University after a brief stint at Benedictine College. Although he eventually moved away from playing, he continues to be active in the sports community through his podcast and social media channels​(
Vegas Sports Today
).
For more information, you can check out his podcast at Blue Wire Podcasts. 76.220.74.234 (talk) 20:11, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. None of the sources you provided establish notability. 331dot (talk) 20:13, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not to mention his entire argument is basically acting as the guy's publicist, which raises the question of his connexion to King. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can I get this new word through? 203.121.198.6 (talk) 00:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTDICT is the first thing to read. For the underlying concept to merit a Wikipedia article, you would need to show, through reliable, independent sources, that the concept has to been the focus of significant coverage. Nothing is presented in the draft that suggests that an article would be suitable. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 02:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Intel shell

Sorry for you declining these, but I just wanted to say that the intel Shell page is not vandalism but I need some tips to improve.

the intel Shell page is a normal page with some probelms Saolqui2 (talk) 04:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Saolqui2: please slow down, you're getting yourself into a bit of a mess. From what I can work out, you published Intel Shell. It was moved to drafts, at Draft:Intel Shell because it wasn't ready for publication. It seems rather than working on it further, you created another version at Intel Shell, which is still there (for now, at least). You also have Draft:Intel shell building, where the only content is "Can you bring this page back"; you had submitted that for publication, although it's clearly not a viable article draft. And all this kerfuffle apparently "cuz [your] brother Bruno laughs at the video of intel Shell being imploded"? Oh dear.
All that said, did you have a question you wanted to ask? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:04, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey y'all, I'm still new-ish - I just wrote my 2nd article and submitted it to AfC. Then I realized I had permissions to just move an article on my own now. I don't want to add to your backlog, but I don't want to mess up anything either. Can I just go in and move it on my own and it will remove itself from the list? Thanks! Cyanochic (talk) 04:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyanochic That it is now technically possible does not necessarily mean it is wise. In real terms only you can judge whether you are ready to move your own drafts to main space.
As long as you are diligent in referencing, and as long as your topics pass WP:GNG and/or the individual criteria, then move your own drafts with pleasure. I just Accepted the draft you mention.

User:Cillian Paul / User:2405:201:400C:B8:1BA0:DB11:715D:C534, the subject is not notable. The sources you have used are primary, i.e. sources are original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved. Here, the first seven sources are the subject's website, profile and event listings, including their LinkedIn profile. Sources 8-12 are papers published by the subject, which do not pass WP:NACADEMIC. I did a google search on the subject and found only directory/profile listings. I suggest working on a different subject or improving existing articles. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 06:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:27, 30 September 2024 review of submission by Nayyn

Hello Disclosure-- this is not my draft

But I am wondering why this article fails "WP:N"

When there are: Multiple suitable sources cited about this individual, and the sources indicate WP:SUSTAINED

For WP:SPORTSPERSON this individual has made " a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field" in the case of his Alma Mater and the ACC record for minutes played in the tournament. There are a number of other Sportspeople with pages on this site that have less notable records ie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giannis_Christofilopoulos so I'm not sure why this individual is not considered notable for their contributions as a coach?

Is this because they are not a professional player? Nayyn (talk) 10:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nayyn: When the draft was declined back in June, there were very few sources, and nothing to indicate that the person was notable. The draft looks very different now. I don't know the topic area and can't evaluate whether the draft shows notability now or not, but it did not show it back then at any rate. --bonadea contributions talk 10:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Bonadea many thanks for the reply. As it is some months now since June and there has been a number of edits to it to show its relevance.. is it still waiting for review or could I move it to the mainspace?
This individual is notable for both his playing and coaching career.
Playing: Gainey played at NC State, a NCAA Division I school. Only 1% of the 537,438 High School Basketball players in the US will go on to play for a Division 1 school in Basketball, and fewer will go on to play four years and stand out in top tournaments, as Gainey did. Fewer will set records for his program, as Gainey did, especially considering his non-standout size for his position. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2015/3/2/estimated-probability-of-competing-in-college-athletics.aspx
Coaching: Becoming an assistant basketball coach of one of the top programs in the United States is an incredibly rare feat especially considering his race and the amount of structural inequalities he faced to get to that position.
I am not a college basketball expert by any means, nor even a fan or follower of this sport, but it is clear even from a person with passing knowledge that this person is notable. Nayyn (talk) 12:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I got the information from Japanese Wikipedia but changed it to English, also the links on that Japanese Wikipedia were those from YouTube as well as one's like TV Tokyo article on here TheSquareTiger (talk) 12:24, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheSquareTiger: you cannot cite Japanese Wikipedia as a source. If the Japanese article cites sources which could be used to support the information here, you need to cite those sources directly.
Also, please do not create inline external links (including to the Japanese Wikipedia), as these are not allowed.
Please see WP:REFB for advice on correct referencing.
This draft was additionally declined for lack of notability. You need to show that the subject satisfies either the general WP:GNG or the special WP:NACTOR notability guideline. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok but the info I can get are just IMDB TheSquareTiger (talk) 12:54, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheSquareTiger: IMDb is not considered reliable, as it is user-generated. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:01, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the citations linking to Japanese Wikipedia TheSquareTiger (talk) 13:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also added one's like the TV Asahi English website TheSquareTiger (talk) 12:55, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheSquareTiger, first of all, stop submitting the draft for the moment. If you continue submitting it without fixing the problems, a reviewer will conclude the draft can't be improved and will reject it. Rejection means you pretty much have to give up, so you want to avoid that at all costs!
Next, read through WP:42, the 'golden rule' and also WP:BLP (biographies of living people), followed by WP:REFB (referencing for beginners). Your goal is to show that this person is notable. You do this by finding suitable sources (see WP:42 and WP:BLP) and then referencing those sources in the draft (see WP:REFB). Every single sentence in a BLP needs to be referenced by a good source. Start with your first sentence, make sure it's properly referenced, and then keep going. If a sentence has no references, delete it.
If you cannot find suitable references, then it might be too soon for this person to have an article. You can keep working on the draft and waiting until references can be found. References don't have to be in English (although we prefer English when possible) but they do have to meet all the criteria in WP:42. Good luck and happy editing!

Hi my draft got declined on the 30th of Sept due to not having the following: in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements) reliable secondary strictly independent of the subject

This is my first time writing a Wikipedia page and I was just trying to get some understanding on how to navigate these resources, all of my references are independent and secondary sources, and I'm having a hard time finding any that 100% match the criteria just because of the industry. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you. Ethanjbrown03 (talk) 22:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Ethanjbrown03. 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.

Hello, IP user. Your words "launch the page" sound as if you have the (very common) misunderstanding that Wikipedia is like social media - a place to tell the world about yourself. It is not: it is an encyclopaedia, which contains neutrally written articles about notable subjects.
If Wikipedia ever has an article about your company, whoever creates it, the article will not belong to your company , will not be controlled by your company, will not necessarily say what your company would like it to say, may be edited by almost anybody in the world except representatives of your company, and should be based almost 100% on what people wholly unconnected with your company have published about it, not on what your company says or wants to say.

13:06, 1 October 2024 review of submission by Santak1ng

I'm new as a contributor at Wikipedia so I don't know all the ins and outs but I'm a bit confused about why my page about Hemnet wasn't accepted. Reading through the reasons given (see below), I don't really understand, maybe someone can clarify?

in-depth – Hemnet is one of the biggest web pages in Sweden, the company is listed at Nasdaq and a Wikipedia page about Hemnet already exists in Swedish. So I wanted to create a stub so I can translate the Swedish page to English. Should I have done anything else for my article to be considered a stub?

relilable – all the information in the article is clearly linked to reliable pages

secondary and independent – I've stated that I have a COI, as I am an employee of the company. But that shouldn't matter since all the things in the article are documented facts. Why have a COI label if COI content is automatically dismissed? Santak1ng (talk) 13:06, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hej @Santak1ng:, welcome to the Teahouse and thank you for disclosing your connection to Hemnet. The problem with the sourcing is that only Hemnet itself is used as a source. If you follow the links to read about secondary and independent sources, you'll see that it's got nothing to do with your own COI but with the fact that Wikipedia is almost entirely uninterested in what a company publishes about itself. I would be very surprised if there were not sufficiently many secondary and independent sources talking about Hemnet in some detail (I mean, here's a scholarly article about it!) but at the moment, the draft does not include any of them. (The tone of the draft is also not quite what is required from an encyclopedia article, but that's a different issue). Start by finding secondary and independent sourcing, and then build a draft from what those sources say, rather than on your own knowledge. --bonadea contributions talk 13:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a place to promote (i.e. tell the world about) anything: please use social media or promotion sites for that.
Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia: it summarises what has already been published about a subject.
If the film has been written about in some depth by people wholly unconnected with the film, published in reliable places, then it is possible an article could be written about it; but that article would be based upon what those independent people had chosen to publish, not about what the makers or promoters of the film want to say.

@AlyannadV Let me take an example of the current phraseology: "New Lab, situated in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard, is a co-working space for tech entrepreneurs and fabricators, with a focus in fields ranging from artificial intelligence to interactive architecture." is straight from a brochure selling that space. What value does it add to an encyclopaedia article to have 'selling words' within it?

You declared a conflict of interest, if you work for her, you are required by the Terms of Use to make the stricter paid editing disclosure.
You misunderstand what a Wikipedia article about a musician should do. It should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable musician. We don't want just documentation of her work, but independent sources discussing her.
YouTube is not generally a reliable source as it lacks editorial oversight and is user-editable- unless the video is from a reputable news outlet on its verified channel. The Times of India is generally not considered a reliable source.

Draft:Karin van der Laag was originally published in another language called Hasha. I can't seem to access the original page in English as I would like someone to work on it and re-instate it in English. I have many more sources than the original article that appeared. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 15:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Karinvanderlaag There are some difficulties you will face, especially since any new work by you will be an autobiography. The first and most important is that almost no-one is able to write a neutral draft about themselves. This means that any reviews that decline the draft will have a personal effect on you. It will feel as if you are being attacked. You will not be attacked, but the feeling will be there.
The next, of at least equal importance, is the finding of references which meet the English Language Wikipedia's very strict criteria.
Most people write WP:BACKWARDS, starting with what they wish to say, especially about themselves, and finding references which are not a good fit. Do the reverse. Start with excellent references, see what can be said and sort the references into a storyboard. Then, write in your own words what others say about you in those references.
Know in advance that others who review the draft may disagree with you. You and I have too much history for me to review your putative draft, so I will not do so.
It may be possible to translate the Hausa article. Please do not use machine translation. If you do translate it please deploy {{Translated page}} on the draft's talk page with parameters filled in to the best of your ability. Please be very clear that the Hausa Wikipedia may have substantially less strict criteria for acceptance.

There is no indication in the draft that the person is notable according to Wikipedia's definition. In addition to that, all the references point to his own website.

Subject: Request for Help Regarding Rejected Draft of "Ashish Chanchlani"

Message: Hello,

I recently worked on creating a draft for the article on Ashish Chanchlani, and after putting in significant time and effort, the draft was rejected despite my attempts to modify it properly. I understand that one of the reasons for rejection might be related to notability, but I firmly believe that Ashish Chanchlani is notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia page, given his prominence in the digital content space.

I would really appreciate it if an experienced editor could help me understand what specific improvements are needed to make the article meet Wikipedia's notability standards and guidelines. I have added sources, but there might be gaps or areas I did not cover adequately.

Additionally, I would be grateful if, after the necessary improvements are made, the draft could be restored from the rejected status and moved to the main article space.

Your guidance will be very helpful for me to get this article accepted, as I strongly believe it deserves to be part of Wikipedia.

Thank you so much for your time and assistance. 

Amanatadverse17 (talk) 17:59, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid no amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability, and Wikipedia's definition of notability is completely unrelated to popularity. There have been several exhaustive discussions about Chanchlani's notability, and the current draft doesn't show any indication that he has become notable since the most recent discussion a couple of years ago. --bonadea contributions talk 18:19, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And even if the rejection were reversed, the article can't be created except by an administrator, because the title has been fully protected after years of relentless attempts to use Wikipedia as a promotional platform by Chanchlani's marketing people. That kind of full protection is not put in place very frequently. --bonadea contributions talk 18:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Amanatadverse17, I know it seems strange that wikipedia doesn't think a youtuber with millions and millions of subscribers is notable, but the only thing we really care about is WP:42. The last discussion was in 2021, so he may have become notable since then, but you'll have to show that with high-quality sources that postdate 2021. -- asilvering (talk) 21:05, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@EnochRoot1969, it will really, really help the reviewers if you can provide URLs to the newspaper articles you're citing. If you can't do that, because you accessed the newspapers offline, please at least give us enough information to be able to find the relevant article - the title, the date, and the page. -- asilvering (talk) 21:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

20:36, 2 October 2024 review of submission by Amirziaow

om i want know how i can edit this draft for publish Amirziaow (talk) 20:36, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry @Amirziaow, this is a resume/CV, and is not suitable for wikipedia. My advice is to abandon the effort and work on something else. -- asilvering (talk) 20:59, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Amirziaow press Edit on the top right of the draft to edit it. Press “Resubmit” at the end of the red box at the top of the draft to submit for publishing, but only after the issues are fixed or it will just be declined again. — Karnataka 20:59, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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.

03:23, 3 October 2024 review of submission by HurricaneKirk2024

May I start over from the beginning, or is that not allowed? I thought the purpose of Wikipedia was other people to help build on an article, and I had no help at all. Please help me in my journey. I have nothing left to do. Please help me. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 03:23, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, HurricaneKirk2024. While I understand from your username that this is a topic you're particularly interested in, it is not notable for Wikipedia's purposes, so starting over would serve no point. If you want to write a Wikipedia article, your best bet is to find a different topic, one that is well-covered in reliable sources, and write it from scratch, without the use of AI. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 04:40, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @HurricaneKirk2024, Writ Keeper has covered half of your questions, so I'll finish the other half: Wikipedia is indeed about collaborating to work on the encyclopedia, and when drafts become articles people may (or may not!) start wandering in to change and improve things. However, writing the draft is usually a one-person task: someone is interested in a particular subject, and does research on it, and decides it's interesting and notable by Wikipedia standards, and writes a draft about it. If it is truly notable, the draft becomes an article, and off we go.
Writing a new article is the hardest thing to do on Wikipedia. It requires knowledge of many policies and guidelines. You also cannot use ChatGPT or any other AI to help you write; we need humans to create the articles, humans who have done proper research and learned how to write Wikipedia articles. Most of the editors on this board will tell you that you should begin by working on current articles, so you get an idea of what's needed. We have millions of articles that need help in many different ways, so whatever you're into will undoubtedly have some articles that need your time and energy. You could, if you wished, go see what WikiProject Tropical cyclones is up to and maybe find some articles you're interested in there. That would be my suggestion for you, anyway. Happy editing! StartGrammarTime (talk) 05:12, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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.

06:21, 3 October 2024 review of submission by Nightfly2008

My article has been declined three times. In each instance, I tried to improve it based on the suggestions. I still believe the subject is notable enough to warrant an article, but I seem to be unable to convince the editors. Could someone with more experience give me a more detailed explanation as to what exactly I can do to improve it? Thank you. Nightfly2008 (talk) 06:21, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nightfly2008 I see you have resubmitted it for review. A reviewer will review it in due course. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 06:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did submit as it takes a lot of time, but I can keep editing it while waiting. Nightfly2008 (talk) 06:33, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nightfly2008: yes, you can continue editing the draft while waiting for a review. Just be aware that a review can happen at any time, so try to make sure that you save your work frequently, and that with each save the draft is a complete entity, in case it gets reviewed.
Note also that as you have disclosed a COI in this subject, by extension you also have a COI in related subjects (each which you should also disclose separately, BTW). This means that you should not have published Paradise Lost (Inal Bilsel album) directly into the main article space, but should have put it through an AfC review also. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:52, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:11, 3 October 2024 review of submission by Omar Azami

I am publishing an article based on a close friend of mine. I am trying to build the page on a step by step basis, but it looks like I haven't quite passed the requirements.

I would like to understand where I am going wrong and what I can do to help rectify the situation.

Thank you Omar Omar Azami (talk) 10:11, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Omar Azami: I have rejected your draft, as I didn't see anything there to suggest that the person is notable in the Wikipedia sense of the word; notability being a core requirement for inclusion in the encyclopaedia.
Also for future reference, you should not be writing an article based on what you know about a subject, you should instead summarise what reliable and independent third parties (ideally secondary sources) have previously published about it. You then cite those sources against the information they have provided, which gives you the necessary referencing to satisfy another core requirement of course, namely verifiability. HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:17, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing Thank you for your prompt reply. It is greatly appreciated. I am very new to Wikipedia and the person I am writing about is well known in his friend as well as his background. I know he has enough information to be included on Wikipedia, but the error is coming from my lack of understanding on how to write an article rather than the person I am writing about.
What is the best why to move forward and edit the article and have it resubmitted please?
Thank you Omar Azami (talk) 10:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Omar Azami: rejection normally means the end of the road for a draft, but on this occasion I'm happy to take another look if you can base this on appropriate sources (which, in practice, means rewriting the draft pretty much completely).
In a nutshell:
  1. Start by finding a few (3-5) published sources that satisfy the WP:GNG notability guideline, namely: independent and reliable secondary sources that have provided significant coverage of the subject.
  2. Summarise what they have said. This must be done in your own words, but without putting any additional 'spin' on things.
  3. Cite each source directly against the information it has provided. For advice on referencing, see WP:REFB.
If you wish, you can run the sources by us here at the help desk, or at my talk page, to check that they are acceptable per WP:GNG before you begin your editing work. Notability depends exclusively on the sources, so it's important to get it right from the outset, as otherwise your efforts may be in vain. I suggest you study the GNG guideline carefully before you start. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing Thank you for your prompt reply again and the opportunity to resubmit the draft. I will work based on the advice you have given.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you Omar Azami (talk) 10:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Omar. One of the things that makes it difficult to write an article about a friend is that once you have found the independent sources, you will need to forget everything you know about your friend, and base your article on what those sources say. What you know is not relevant: either it is in one of the sources, and you take it from there, or it isn't, and it cannot go into the article. ColinFine (talk) 16:32, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

13:29, 3 October 2024 review of submission by VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004

my draft was declined, the reason why I made this draft was to finally split out NTV's corporate functions from the station article…to avoid big confusions, there is an article on NTVHD on the Japanese Wikipedia, but why not here? VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 (talk) 13:29, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004: without commenting on whether a separate article is actually warranted for the 'Holdings' corporate entity, if I've understood you correctly and you're effectively proposing to split Nippon Television into two articles, then you should follow the procedure set out at WP:SPLIT. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:35, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:10, 3 October 2024 review of submission by Janep1814

I first submitted this article for publication several months ago. It has been turned down on several occasions, each time for a different reason. In each subsequent submission, I've dealt with the issue mentioned explaining why the article can't be published. In the meantime, I've also revised the text, deleted images and provided the requested copyright details for others. Given the importance of the precedence created by Adrienne Cullen's case in relation to hospital liability, I don't really understand why this article can't be published. Can you please advise. janep1814 Janep1814 (talk) 14:10, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Janep1814: I can only see two previous declines, both for the primary reason of lack of notability. If you have multiple drafts on this subject, or if there's something else I'm missing, do let me know.
You most recently resubmitted this on 10 Aug, which is less than two months ago, and as you may have seen from the templated message on top of the draft, reviews may take 2 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 1,285 pending submissions waiting for review. Please be patient. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:32, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing - Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'll wait. Janep1814 (talk) 14:59, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Polymer_Cement_Concrete was asked to be moved to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_Concrete after "being improved" but I cannot locate where the improvements wanted are outlined.

Can someone please advise?

In addition, I understand the fact that I have created the draft:Polymer Cement Concrete and draft:Polymer Modified Concrete under sub-pages of Polymer Concrete and that "is [[contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia][1]" but there is no explanation as to why it is.

Could someone please explain? Nicolas Couture (talk) 17:49, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
