This is to report to you that I mistakenly submited a blank citation on Professor Nduka Nnamdi Ekere. The aricle was declined on 11 June 2020 as a result of lack of content. This has since been corrected. I hereby regret any inconvinience this might have caused. I am looking forward to have this citation included. Thank you.

00:42:30, 1 September 2020 review of draft by PeteStacman24


Hello, how do I shorten the name of my draft article from "Izuku Midoriya (character)" to just "Izuku Midoriya"? (Asking since the "character" in the draft's header just feels pointless.)

PeteStacman24 (talk) 00:42, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@PeteStacman24: I've made the change for you, and you can now find the article at Draft:Izuku Midoriya. Since the non-Draft article Izuku Midoriya is a redirect, there's no current need to disambiguate with "(character)". Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:42, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

18:15:40, 1 September 2020 review of draft by IanTEB

Hi! My draft article, Nick Robinson (YouTuber), was declined 6 days ago on August 26, and since then, I've added additional reliable secondary sources. Does it look any better?

IanTEB (talk) 18:15, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IanTEB, No. Lose any of your massive list of references that do not give significant coverage to Robinson. Read WP:42, WP:PRIMARY, and WP:SELFPUB. You are bombarding us with references and many have to go.
More references is not the way to go. Fewer and better references is. If a reviewer cannot see the wood rom the trees they will often pass by without reviewing your draft. Why? Because they are human. Fiddle Faddle 20:28, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 22:11:35, 1 September 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Skancc


I have added source and reference, Iam not understanding what Else I have add kindly guide me


Skancc (talk) 22:11, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skancc. Indian Talent Magazine publishes artist-authored profiles. It is basically advertising, not an independent source. The remaining cited sources are passing mentions of Mahadev, not significant coverage. In the reviewer's judgement, sources do not exist that are independent, reliable, secondary, and contain significant coverage. Rejection is meant to be final, to convey that the topic is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). No amount of editing can fix that problem. There is no option to re-submit the draft because volunteers do not intend to review it again. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:05, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Have made changes, requesting advice Ciamasky1 (talk) 11:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ciamasky1. The cited sources are directory-type listings instead of significant coverage (indiancompany.info, economictimes, tofler.in), or are regurgitations of press releases, so not independent. Rejection is meant to be final, to convey that the topic is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). No amount of editing can fix that problem.

Request on 18:33:55, 2 September 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Evan0512


I went into Google and there were several reliable sources that relate to Lubelska: Only PopKult and Stock Spirits. Second, I didn't see either English or Polish sources that tell more about Lubelska. All I see are pictures of the vodka, but I looked at Stock Spirits. It was somehow copied from adverts partially, and when I search Google "Lubelska," it shows mostly unreliable and useless sources. The image about old Lubelska photos came from Wordpress and when I search Lubelska in Polish wikipedia (for example: w:pl:Lubelska), it doesn't show up.

Request on 06:58:44, 3 September 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Unpluggedbrain


Hi, I am a new editor on Wikipedia, I work at Betconstruct (disclosure on user page), the company has asked me to write an article for the company. The article I wrote was rejected twice, once because it sounded like a promotion (I managed to fix this issue with the help of another editor) and now because of WP:GNG. I am looking for directions and advice to fix the issue and make an article that fits with Wikipedia's standards. BetConstruct is a B2B company, it doesn't get much media coverage, but it is still a major actor in the gambling industry, comparable to Betsson and Kindred Group or BBiN, thus I still believe that the company is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia.

I would like to collaborate with a more experienced user to prove notability and fix any other issues that the article has.

Thanks in advance


Unpluggedbrain (talk) 06:58, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unpluggedbrain If your company does not have significant coverage in independent reliable sources, it would not merit an article at this time, and no amount of editing can change that. You need to be able to show that the company meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company with such sources. The requirement for significant coverage in independent reliable sources does result in some subjects not being as covered(or not covered at all) on Wikipedia compared to others, unfortunately. Feel free to show your superiors this message. 331dot (talk) 07:11, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
331dot It does get coverage, but mainly on websites covering the gambling industry, such as SBC News and igamingbusiness (sources used on the Wikipedia pages of other B2B gambling companies). It has been mentioned quite a bit on independent media but the articles are generally not about the company itself but it's brands, so it's a passing mention "brand x subsidiary of BetConstruct". It has also gotten a lot of press coverage locally, in Armenia, would that be enough to establish notability? Thanks. Unpluggedbrain (talk) 07:39, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Unpluggedbrain As stated in this portion of the notability guidelines, "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability". Only being written about in trade publications doesn't help establish notability. I would add that the draft has been rejected, not just declined, meaning that it will not be considered further. To be frank- and I apologize- you will only be wasting your own time and that of others by pursuing this further, at least until your company receives significant coverage outside of trade publications. 331dot (talk) 07:45, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
331dot I understand, well thanks for the clarifications. A final question, if and when the company gets more coverage (let's say in a year or so), how should I proceed? Unpluggedbrain (talk) 07:58, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Unpluggedbrain You would need to start a fresh draft and submit it for review, just as you did your first one. If you do not edit your current draft for six months, it will be deleted due to inactivity and then you could recreate the draft in a year(or whenever). 331dot (talk) 08:07, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
331dot Ok, thanks again for the help! See you around.

Hi! this draft:JioTV has been declined because of notability concerns. I have added more notable references (its been 1 week only after the rejection so I got only 1-2 additional references) in order to fix this and added the explanation in a comment. I would really appreciate if someone can have a look at this draft. After then I'll resubmit this for review. Thank You Ritzz07 (talk) 13:20, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 16:20:14, 3 September 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Hoodlife06


Hello, this is my first article on Wikipedia, and after the last review my submission has been rejected. The reason for this was: The topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. I need help and information how I can make the article notable or which changes do I need to make for this article for it's notability.

Thank You

Hoodlife06 (talk) 16:20, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hoodlife06: The declining reviewer included in their decline note a message and a link to our notability guidelines. The short story is, the mere existence of a musician/rapper/person does not guarantee inclusion in a global encyclopedia. You have to demonstrate that the subject is notable, that is, that major mainstream sources are discussing the subject, his work, his impact, his history, his life, etc. Lyric sites, blogs, his Soundcloud presence—these simply don't do that. I could create a Soundcloud account and proclaim myself a musician, but that doesn't mean anybody cares about my mad brand of key-smashing. So until this individual receives a good deal of coverage in multiple mainstream sources (big newspapers, big magazines, etc.) he will not likely be suitable for inclusion here. Hope that helps.

Yara Korkomaz Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves or merely provide information. We have articles about people who meet the special Wikipedia definition of notability, typically written by independent editors completely unconnected with the subject.

Hello editors, i have created a wiki page about an indian Punjabi music producer Named Sukhpal Sukh. He is working in industry since 1990, while creating wiki page i have added as much reference i can find on internet, less information available on net about Sukhpal Sukh is just due to his lack of social links, activities. That's why he was still unknown for most of the new generation. My motive to make his page was just to share information and work he done in past for music scene.

I just want to know what i need to do that this article could move to main space. As these are the only available information and links published by indian news agencies and web portals which i have add as references. I need help from editors i don't want that a legendary artist stay unknown for most of audience of new age.

VirdiOnline References do not need to be online or free to access(it helps, but is not required). Print-only sources are fine as long as they are available to the public(documents in private hands inaccessible to the public are not acceptable). Please understand that Wikipedia is not for merely sharing information. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a subject, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of (in this case) a notable creative professional. If this person does not have significant coverage in reliable sources(again, they need not be online), he would not merit an article at this time. If you just want to tell the world about this person, you should use a personal blog/website or social media. 331dot (talk) 19:14, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

03:49:33, 6 September 2020 review of submission by Neelkanth99


the reason's for rejection  is completely misinterpreted and misunderstood .

Question 1 ) : Blatant self promotion created by the subject himself. - > For your kind information Subject is no more.

It's not a self promotion and nothing is promoted here for marketing or trying to grab attention .This page was completely re-written without any self praising and just the neutral facts about the subject , The Subject is my father who was a Mathematician and the subject is no more and the facts gathered is by the author who is the son of the subject because the autthor of this page has these information .

Reason 2 : Neutral information mentioned.

This page was written only with the references to the research work done by him and documented and no peacock words or praising of subject anywhere . Please mention if any , I dont see anything referenced in praising of the subject.


Symbol opinion vote.svg Comment: This page appears to have been written to praise its subject rather than to describe the subject neutrally. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view Neelkanth99 (talk) 03:49, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, I'm an experienced editor from Myanmar, this is my personal ip. Secondly, Noahfgodard declined Draft:Salin Supaya with the comment "person not yet shown to meet notability guidelines", what the hell? are you kidding me? It is a joke? I’ve full knowledge on Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. Salin Supaya was a very highest-level "Tabindaing" princess of the Konbaung dynasty, not a Barbie princess and not to be compared with the Princess of the present-days constitutional monarchy. She was a historic figure and set-chief queen, born in 1847. There were no cameras or media at that time, How can we get information on media report? Do note, Chief queen is the highest consort of the King, not a wife of a dog!!! The Chief queen consort is very powerful in sovereign state. This subject is clearly notable and beyond the WP:NPOL. The History of Burmese Royal Family can only be found in books not media articles!! According to Wikipedia source guidelines, Wikipedia allows to use the books as references. This is an old topic, and it sources can only be found in history books. Many of the historic articles on the wiki using books as references not news coverage. Well, what would you say to these articles, Meiktila Princess, Taingda Princess ? Some historic articles do not even fill refrences! There are many her information on the historical Book via Google Books see. 117.18.229.211 (talk) 20:45, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to mention, my respected royalty expert editors DWC LR, Kbabej and theRedDomitor from Wikipedia:WikiProject Royalty and Nobility for their opinion on Salin Supaya. 117.18.229.211 (talk) 21:09, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

22:51:03, 6 September 2020 review of submission by Neelkanth99


Dear Sir/Madam

I would like to clarify few things here about this article

1. I found the reason mentioned for rejection as "Blatant self promotion created by the subject himself." which is totally wrong , as the subject himself is dead and no more , and there is nothing here to promote or gain financial or marketing or monetory benefit out of the subject or subject himself.

2 . This article was created by me ( Son of the Subject), the reason for confusion is that my name resembles similar to my father(Subject) as my father's name is my surname ( Last Name) and the first name is my grandfather's name which is the surname of my father . So it was misinterpreted or misunderstood that the subject is praising himself .

3. I (Author of the article) would like to reiterate that there is no reason for me to gain any benefit here , Its purely the facts/publications collected on behalf of my father and his contribution to the field of Mathematics . I have just listed and organized in a way without adding any praising or peacock words on the subject . 

I have taken all measures to write the article neurally without praising the subject in any way and just menetioned his work on the facts collected from various reliable sources.

 In case , if you think that there is some praising words about the subject anywhere , Kindly mention those , I will completely remove those words. Please don't reject for that reason .

Kindly consider and re-review the article and allow to publish. Appreciate your help!

Thanks Neel

Hello, I just wrote an article (I translated it from the equivalent English article on Wikipedia) and I want it to be published as the Persian page of the same subject (which is Krater). I think that my article has been published as an English article. I have no idea what to do to correct it. Thank you for your help. Arashia1414 (talk) 01:20, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Arashia1414. It looks like you've figured out that the place to write Persian articles is not here, but on the Persian-language Wikipedia, specifically fa:کراتر. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:30, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I received a notification that the article needed some more work, so I've given it a go. This is my first time using Wikipedia, so I'd really appreciate some support when you have a moment. It would be handy for this charity to get published on Wikipedia

WikiPageMan (talk) 09:12, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiPageMan Your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about a subject, and is not concerned with if the presence of an article helps the subject or not(it often does not). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization.
If you are associated with this charity, you will need to review the conflict of interest and paid editing policies and make some required declarations("paid editing" applies to unpaid volunteers or interns). 331dot (talk) 09:17, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Thanks for the quick reply. I added the "paid" to the talk section as requested, as I am volunteering my time to do this. I hope this can help get the article published

WikiPageMan (talk) 09:30, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft is just blatant advertising and gives no indication that the topic passes WP:NCORP so it has been rejected, it will not be considered further. Theroadislong (talk) 09:43, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WikiPageMan (ec) Thank you for complying with the required policies, but it will not necessarily help the draft get into the encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself, but in what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about it with significant coverage (not brief mentions, press releases, staff interviews, the organization website, etc.). As I indicated, the rejection means the draft will not be reconsidered at this time. Feel free to show your superiors this message. 331dot (talk) 09:48, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Please, can you understand in detail why our page was declined as it contents only information about the company as many other pages which Wikipedia has already? Reactor99 (talk) 13:35, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reactor99 If by "our" you mean that you work for this company, you are required by the Terms of Use to make the paid editing declaration.
You draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that it will not be considered further. It is a blatant advertisement for your company, or more specifically it reads as a social media style page. Wikipedia is not social media, it is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia Wikipedia only summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia has no interest in what a company wants to say about itself.
Please read other stuff exists; as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. This is why each article is judged on its own merits. If you are aware of other blatant advertisement articles, feel free to help us out and point them out. 331dot (talk) 14:11, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
