    Hi SwisterTwister. I have received a rejection on a page submission but a fellow football team who do exactly the same thing have a page that's been approved which is this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashtag_United_F.C. They have even quoted us in it under their history and the game between both teams is set to go live this Sunday 8th January. The reason this page was declined was because of the following "Still not significant to satisfy our footballers notability especially since they're not part of the highest major leagues" This comes down to an opinion and the viewing figures match those of major leagues on TV. Palmers FC YouTube channel is more subscribed than every Football League Club and has more subscribers than over half of the premier league teams combined. Because they're not notable players who are being paid they are still role models and continue to gain attention from traditional media. lf you please tell me what it is lacking exactly against the HashTag United page that'll be great? Many thanks Steveballem (talk) 19:31, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi SwisterTwister, I received the reason for rejection, ok how do I make it better. I feel this person should be part of Wikipedia, so how can I get it approved. I am not an expert in Wikipedia terms, requirements so I'm asking your assistance to get it published. Thanks, ronon44

    I'm sorry to see you comment, but respect your opinion. You seemed a little upset based on the word choice, I hope you are feeling well. Anyway I was hoping you could help improve my article with some critique- Firstly, I believe any company that acquires 65% of one of the major telecommunication companies is worth note, not to mention the countless controversies. But, hey, I'll keep digging and asking if it'll help. Secondly, and more importantly, I would appreciate clarity on your belief that my article is a "PR" material. All these are objective facts, I attempted to be as unbiased as possible, hence the controversy section. I am not a representative of Credico, but only attempt to give the public the proper information on a company which has had a profound impact, negative and positive, on many people's lives. As a final note, on a personal note, I can not help but feel your close attention to my article and critique reflects some kind of bias on you part. Once again the previous statement was simply a personal opinion. I hope for all the best, Ill keep working on it!

    Hello Twistedsister You seem to have taken a negative view of the ATMIA page. It is NOT solely based on PR notes. Two other editors also had look and I did diversify away from atmmarketplace and finextra. So I think you are being overly jelous in marking the page for deletion.19:09, 24 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by CIM2014 (talk • contribs)

    Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hakka Americans

    ST, I'm a bit curious about this. Shouldn't this have been closed as a "no-consensus" rather than a clear keep? --Lemongirl942 (talk) 07:31, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    The basis overall was to keep though, it would have been NC had there been equal amounts of delete. SwisterTwister talk 15:21, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm a bit curious about this ST. I'm not sure about the equal "keep" and "delete" reasoning. A redirection is essentially a kind of deletion - it is proposed more as an alternative to deletion. A similar one Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hokkien and Hoklo Americans was closed as NC. If you don't mind, could you reclose this as NC? --Lemongirl942 (talk) 12:54, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi there, just wanted to say thanks first and foremost for your review and for your feedback. I've taken it on board and significantly expanded the third-party criticism and sources section, adding just what was requested to the point that it is now the longest section in the article. Hopefully that should satisfy the reviewer. If it's possible to proceed with the re-review, I'd be grateful. Thank you!

    I am requesting a review as the source material is unavailable online from an independent source. The only existing material is a scan from a newspaper article taken from the subject's own website. I have outlined where the original article was first published but all attempts to verify it from an independent source have met dead ends. Please advise on the exact steps needed to get this article approved. I appreciate your help with this matter. I look forward to your response. 92.238.62.98 (talk) 20:21, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    92.238.62.98, perhaps I can help out here. The simplest way to put it is that, based on the available sources, he is just not yet notable. There is no real chance of an article until his performances or recording have been reviewed in major publications of national reputation. ' DGG ( talk ) 07:19, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Aaron Chang Draft Update

    Hi SwisterTwister! I did as you suggested and kept digging for more notable references for Aaron Chang, and I found out that he is indeed featured in a permanent exhibit in a museum! The bathing suit from his clothing line, Aaron Chang Clothing, that he gave as a gift to Bethany Hamilton, famous surfer and shark attack survivor, is featured in the exhibit titled Courageous Inspiration: Bethany Hamilton at the California Surf Museum. So this totals 3 exhibits, 1 permanent, and 1 art critic review of one of his galleries, along with multiple other references including his entry in the Encyclopedia of Surfing. I also found the article on Forbes about him, but I don't think it has relevant info to add to the Wikipedia page specifically, so I just included it as an addition. Could you take a look at the draft and see if you consider him notable now that I've added the new info?

    17:57:20, 7 September 2016 review of submission by Sbjumper21


    Hi SwisterTwister,

    I understand Wikipedia's notability guidelines but wanted to present the below argument on why our references should be considered significant, given that a competitor of ours, GolfNow, has been granted a Wikipedia page.

    Within the golf industry, the biggest golf publication has under one million unique visitors a month. We've been covered and interviewed by major publications such as The Examiner (2.5 million unique visitors a month), USA Today affiliate, Argus Leader (120K+ unique visitors per month), Dujour Magazine (47K+ unique visitors a month), GolfNewsNet (55k+ unique visitors a month), ESPN Radio, CBS Radio, Golf Channel Sirius FM and Golf Channel (video). These are major hits within the golf industry, but they aren't going to be covered by the Huffington Post/Forbes, which I believe what Wikipedia is looking for. The Huffington Post also mostly covers the professional game and lacks golf technology coverage.

    Lastly, I wanted to mention that a majority of the coverage that GolfNow received from major publications (Forbes/GolfWeek - no longer active/Business Insider) was about either their competition with a slight mention to GolfNow or acquisition by Comcast. They have no coverage other than that in major publications. Their Forbes piece was focused on EZLinks and had some mentions of GolfNow being a competitor.

    Comcast Buying GolfNow.com: http://www.businessinsider.com/2008/3/comcast-buying-golfnow-com Booking Golf Tee Times Gradually Shifting To Online Marketplace (focused on EZLinks): http://www.forbes.com/sites/darrenheitner/2013/06/15/booking-golf-tee-times-gradually-shifting-to-online-marketplace/#cbbf061646e1

    I'm hoping to discuss this further, and I would be happy to jump on the phone and explain this further. Let me know if you need any further info.

    Thanks Sbjumper21 (talk) 17:57, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    About Victor Anoul

    I just edited a draft you accepted on August 30th, Victor Anoul, and I just wanted to give you some unsolicited bits of advice, if you don't mind. I'll try to make this as painless as possible.

    1. Always fill out the living= parameter of {{Wikiproject Biography}}. As a specific example, if the person isn't living, put in living=no. This reduces the workload on people like myself who go through Category:Biography articles without living parameter, and also helps us keep track of how many BLPs we have.
    2. Biographies have to have more information than non-biographical articles to not be considered stubs.
    3. If someone isn't alive, make sure categories like Category:Living people and Category:Date of birth missing (living people) aren't on the article.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hey, as you're a draft guru, I wanted to shoot you a query. I have a draft under development at Draft:Cul-de-Sac (2016 film), which concerns a brand new short film by an Oscar-winning film crew and a cast featuring an A-lister. Though I personally don't believe it is suitable for mainspace inclusion yet, I wanted to hear your thoughts for when it would be suitable.

    Partial AN/I close on ibans

    Hi SwisterTwister, I have closed this section of the ongoing AN/I discussion with the following warning:

    User:SwisterTwister is prohibited from trying to impose "interaction bans" or "keep-away orders" against other users, and from implying that such interaction bans exist unless a ban has been formally enacted through a community process. This does not apply to requests that users not post on SwisterTwister's user talk page (see WP:NOBAN). Violations of this will result in temporary but escalating blocks.

    If you need any clarification or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me personally. While reading the comments there I got the impression that there were editors "in your corner" who want you to succeed, but who couldn't support you saying that bans exist when they don't. Best of luck in your editing, and I hope you have some less-stressful times ahead of you. ~Awilley (talk) 01:53, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Dear SwisterTwister,

    Thanks for reviewing my article.

    I need your help to understand why my article does not match the notability criteria. I have given the reference link from below

    1. References of books where his name is mentioned. 2. Reference of news papers where he was in focus. 3. Reference of his all international concerts is also given. 4. Also note that achieving "Pandit" title itself is greatest achievement in Indian Music. 5. His name is also referred in other Wikipedia articles but I understand this does not match to your criteria. 6. Wikipedia also has database of flue players which are less notable than him in terms of achievement. but I understand I can not use this as a argument to publish the article as per Wikipedia guidelines.

    Please let me know what exactly I have to do to proceed with my article. I found your comments are very useful and helpful in many other articles. So looking for your help in fixing errors in my article.

    Looking forward for your reply and help.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reviewing my submission but I do not accept this. Jihan is first and foremost a proven notable artist, and designer. Her balloon designs have sparked many companies all over to copycat her. Her company Geronimo has now become a coined term for her particular balloon design as well. If you google Geronimo Balloons you will not only find her company but also a multitude of online stores selling "Geronimo balloons", not on behalf of Jihan's company but as the style of balloon. I am happy to add more references to support her and her companies notability but if that is not enough would you suggest I develop a page for the company with a section on the creator that is Jihan instead? I do not believe her talent is not acceptable under Wikipedia Standards.

    Please provide more specificity as to why the article about Theresia Gouw was declined for lack of notability backed up by significant sources. Theresia Gouw is widely considered one of the leading venture capital investors in the technology industry. In an industry with few female investors at all, she is a standout regardless of her gender. The sources used in this article are highly reliable--New York Times, Fortune, Forbes, CNBC, Time, etc. There are other Wikipedia pages about similar people in the tech industry--Aileen Lee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileen_Lee), Diane Greene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Greene).

    Hello David, I would first like to thank you for taking the time to review my article. With that being said, I'm finding it difficult to believe that the information provided does not sufficiently account for Credico's notability. It's, of course mentioned in the article, but in terms of its size and controversy, Credico is a 400 firm company, spanning 19 countries, with a current class action involving hundreds of opt ins, and an extreme level of notoriety in the UK. Aside from this I believe, I believe the article is rather unbiased and factual. As a point of reference, the Cobra Group, a direct marketing firm of almost identical construction, save its East Asian base of operations, achieved publication and its size and controversy were not really as notable from an objective point of view. Again thank you for your review, but I feel you are have a difficult time understanding the scope and influence of the company.

    Hello David. Thank you for your review of my piece on Daniel Noah. I know you receive this question all the time, but I would appreciate some advice. Respectfully, you say Mr. Noah is not notable enough to receive his own Wikipedia entry, yet the movie (Max Rose) he created, wrote, and directed has its own page, and the company (SpectreVision) he co-founded has its own page as well. I am truly at a loss as to why Daniel is not deemed worthy enough as the projects he created. I would truly appreciate it if you could share the thought behind this, and if there is a way for me to revise that might make you reconsider.

    Review of ThreatModeler page

    ST,

    Please note that the section entitled "Additional Outside References to ThreatModeler" does, in fact, contain a press release. It is mostly filled with outside/non-related mentions of ThreatModeler from verifiable secondary and tertiary sources. Overall there are 21 references used in the article, 15 of which are outside / verifiable / notable sources. I was in the process of making the links in the "Additional Outside References to ThreatModeler" live when I received notification that the article was declined. Since you didn't notice the press release about ThreatModeler or notice that the article was about Argawal's contribution to threat modeling, I am resubmitting in the hope that you will actually take time to review the article and its references. This is not, as you suggest, an advertisement. It is an article about moving the field of threat modeling forward. If you have specific, helpful comments I would be very happy to receive them; the general template comments I've received thus far simply do not seem to apply in a helpful way....

    Review of Draft:QForm page

    Hello Dear, You have declined the article i've prepared with the comment "the company is not yet notable because there's simply not yet enough substance for a convincing notability". But in fact, the page isn't about company, it is about one of the mostly used FEM (CAE) software on the plants around the world. So, please, put me on the way i should edit the article so it could be published. Thanks a lot, have a nice time. Mskpetrov (talk) 08:17, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi - I'm struggling to understand what else I need to do in order to have this article approved. You say "For the best enhancements, this would still need all [sic] additional amounts of in-depth third-party news sources overall which also includes reviews; please no press releases, interviews or trivial passing mentions." Yet I have included citations from Time Out, The BBC, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Spectator, and the Evening Standard - are these not "third-party news sources"? As for reviews, the word 'review' appears six times amongst the citations! So please, can you tell me clearly and specifically what more I need to do to get this article published?

    Thanks.

    Hi SwisterTwister, I just wanted to reach out and get a bit of clarity on why the Draft was rejected based on notability. I added a lot of very credible references (Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Reuters, New York Times, etc.) throughout the Draft to help solidify Rafay's notability, also, added extra references at the bottom. Thanks!

    Hi David,

    I would need your serious support here cause I am unable to understand which links are referred as press releases. The article tone is also very neutral and shares only information about the developer. Can you help me understand which statement is referred as a advertisement.

    Also, all the references shared are news articles released by respective publisher and is not a PR. Can you highlight which references are considered as PR.

    Further, I was checking few other developer articles to understand what wrong I am doing and was suprised to see a similar article with less relevant references being approved. You can view the same here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Group#

    Hi, is there a reason you replaced the speedy deletion nomination on this page with a PROD? Brycehughes (talk) 00:24, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Brycehughes There were claims of significance in the article enough to not quality for WP:A7. Also, because of its size, PROD was fitting to explain the exact concerns. SwisterTwister talk 00:27, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Given that the deletion has already been contested twice, wouldn't it be better to go through WP:AFD instead? Happy to nom there if you agree. Brycehughes (talk) 00:28, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Simply a contesting is still not taking away eligibility if the speedy or PROD still applies; in this case, the speedy was still placed and not removed (until I had) so it was not formally contested by that author. Also, as for the PROD, AfD is the next option if the article is unsuccessfully deleted by PROD.
    I think you're missing the spirit of the deletion process (obviously one of them would have deleted the template if I had PROD'd it and they understood that fact), but sure, no rush, I'll wait and see if they remove it. All the best, Brycehughes (talk) 00:42, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Re my Sharon Pincott draft

    Hi, I just sent this below to Huon (asking him to forward to you), since I couldn't work out how to get to where I am right now. (Apologies)

    Now that I'm (finally) here, I'll copy in my message that I left with him:


    Hi Huon, I've been trying to send this update to SwisterTwister/WhirlingStorms, too, but I'm getting all confused. Could you possibly forward to him as well? Thank you.

    It's well after midnight where I am, and just wanted to ask if you could look at all those various 'External Links' that I've added, when you have abit of free time, to see if we're more on the right track now in terms of the 'independent reviews' (etc) that you need.

    Please note that I HAVEN'T yet edited the references (but I will).

    Also, I wanted to let you know that I've found out something that might help you think differently about the documentary (All the President's Elephants) credit to Pincott too (as opposed to just the film crew). The International Film Festival was organised (in conjunction with the UN and CITES as I've already written) "to raise global awareness of the various challenges facing the African and Asia elephants" ... and the judging panel were very high-level conservation people (eg Minister of Environment from South Africa, USA Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment, etc) - and so their focus wasn't 'technical' in terms of the filming. It was very much 'conservation' orientated and which films would best help global awareness. So I plan to expand the documentary paragraph a little bit to reflect this new info, if you agree it would be worthwhile? So that people can better understand why being a finalist reflects so well on Pincott too.

    Also, I've had advice from Pincott's publisher now too that they expect a 1,000+ word published article by a journalist to appear before Christmas, on Pincott/Elephant Dawn. So that sounds like what you're after too, so I will include that when they send me the link, which they've said they will do.

    Any input to all of this, I'd appreciate again. (Please do forward to SwisterTwister/WhirlingStorms too. Thanks again.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arnie1000 (talk • contribs) 14:42, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi Swister Twister,

    You recently rejected the page Draft:Davitt_Jones_Bould for lack of notability and I would be interested in any advice you could give me as to how this could be remedied.

    Is the issue more the depth of coverage or the sources themselves? The Lawyer and Legal Business, for example, are where you would generally go to read news about the UK legal industry, but would it be necessary to cite a national mainstream newspaper like the Guardian or Telegraph to establish notability?

    Do you think that the reported connection with The 2012 Olympics and the Sukuk bond (subjects which are themselves notable) supports the notability of the organisation or would much more be needed?

    My aim is not to advertise for Davitt Jones Bould but to create an informative factual article that would be of interest to readers concerned with the UK legal sector. There are a number of other articles about UK law firms and it is my opinion that Davitt Jones Bould is an important enough part of that subject area that readers would benefit from a Wikipedia entry.

    I would really appreciate any feedback on how you think the article could be made to conform with Wikipedia's guidelines.

    Getting closer to finalising Sharon Pincott; for your review again please

    Hi again @SwisterTwister and @Huon, turns out we are now very pleased that you rejected the first draft of Sharon Pincott @SwisterTwister! After all of the input from you both and answers to questions, we think the text of the article is much stronger now overall, and certainly now we have more and better references/links too. Thank you both once again for all of the helpful advice and input.

    The article is still not 100% complete, but I think it is getting very close now. I am waiting on another one (and maybe two) substantial published reviews of Elephant Dawn, that are still expected out of South Africa and Australia (hopefully before Xmas or soon after). And we are still looking to see if there are any more relevant links that we can find.

    Please, could you have a read of the complete article again whenever you’re able (since it is worded quite differently now to the original submission that was declined) – plus with the extra links cleaned up and added (now separated between ‘Book reviews’ and ‘External Links’). And please let me know if you could, if you agree it’s nearing completion from the point of view of your own requirements, and soon ready for resubmission?

    AfD List of Surveillance Companies explanation

    Hello again, I left a message here before which seems to not be here anymore but I'd like to know why you deleted my list of surveillance companies and called it 'trivial'. These companies create technologies which governments use to spy on people and benefit from not having information about what they do online. To call such a list 'trivial' and have it deleted without proper discussion is something I find hard to understand and it's very offputting when editors do this kind of thing without engaging properly.

    Dear Sister Twister, Thank you for your feedback on the article submission. I have improved it by better explaining the origins and nature of the Harvard Business School case study on Cohen, which I believe in itself establishes her notability and in fact is what caught my eye. It was written independently by Harvard professors, vetted through the Harvard publishing system, and is available for purchase for business schools worldwide who use the material for students who study through the case method.

    The article also cites multiple reliable sources independent of the subject, with a reputation for fact checking and approval by editors, including Forbes, CNN, and two segments on the television show The Today Show. It also cites two awards given to Cohen by independent organizations Next Avenue and Forty Over 40.

    Second Rejection of Lorna Mary Swain entry

    Hello David/SwisterTwister,

    I've been attempting to create the Lorna Mary Swain entry for a class assignment. You have hard rejected it twice with little explanation besides a cut and paste of notability guidelines. Needless to say, I'm doing something wrong that isn't working with your view of the guidelines. I'm going to need a bit of help deciphering what exactly is going on to hold up this entry.

    The last update included additional sources, all of which are independent of the author who is deceased. It's evident that the woman is a noted scientist and women's education advocate.

    Thus, despite what I know is your attempt to help, it remains entirely unclear what is needed in order to make this woman notable. The fact that she was one of the earliest female lecturers at Cambridge isn't enough. Her publication history doesn't fit the notability criteria, and the fact that she's cited in more than one reputable work for her work on fluid dynamics in mathematics and being a woman in the UK who lent her skills to the war effort in World War I studying vibration problems in aircraft propellers (a significant early problem during the first world war; the first in which aircraft were used for terrain mapping/intelligence, scouting, and later fighting and bombing.

    Please advise as I am quite frustrated.

    Hello - I'm am so confused as to your reasons for denying this article from publication on wikipedia. I've been working with two other editors to get it into proper shape - and they both agreed that it was in fact notable. Then you come along and say otherwise - how can that be? We are all working on the same criteria - are we not?

    A read through the discussion, you will see all of the material and references that deems the company as notable. Most significant is the fact that the company has over 9 patents that have made significant contributions to the advancement of wireless and wireline telephone networks.

    I'd like to request that you reconsider your decision and actually use your editorial status to approve this article. Side note - don't mean to be argumentative - but I've no idea how you came up with the statement that a company must be older than 10 years to be notable - where is that published on wikipedia?

    Can you expand on your comments about the business side of things as being trivial.

    23:29:03, 19 December 2016 review of submission by Zulutimepilot


    Dear SwisterTwister, Thanks for reviewing my article. When I initially received and analyzed your comments rejecting the draft, my reaction to your main criticism of the article, namely, “Simply nothing satisfying the needed notability for a convincing article,” was that your sweeping criticism, based upon your own subjective standards, is itself unsupportable under Wikipedia standards, and wholly unconvincing.

    With a wave of your wand (your pen) dismiss the significance of an endeavor that people of all races and nationalities around the world have, for nearly a century, found and continue to find of great interest, and which is considered a hallmark and touchstone of aviation achievement and national pride; namely, the solo around the world flight.

    Julie Wang is the ninth woman in history to have successfully completed a solo circumnavigation of the earth in an aircraft and the first and only Chinese person to have done so. It is of historic significance to a wide range of people, not only 1.4 billion Chinese people for whom the name “Wang Zheng” will become associated with a national hero, but for those in the general aviation community and general population who understand what it takes to pilot a small aircraft solo around the earth in 18 days.

    What you glibly dismiss as unnoteworthy, the general population considers heroic. On November 7, 2016, Wang Zheng, a Chinese citizen, received the Key to the City of West Palm Beach from the City Commission, in recognition of her accomplishment.

    I put the matter down for a few weeks to get some distance and returned to it a few days ago. I am still unpersuaded that you have not substituted your own standards for Wikipedia’s.

    In the first place, a solo circumnavigation of the Earth by a female aviator has only been accomplished by eight women in history, and never before by a Chinese or any other Asian. Contrary to your personal opinion, it is, in itself, a noteworthy accomplishment by any standard, including Wikipedia’s. How do we know that? Because of the number of Wikipedia articles about other female aviators who’s only “noteworthy” achievement is a solo circumnavigation around the Earth.

    For example, look at Gaby Kennard’s Wikipedia article; she’s one of the eight. It consists of just five sentences and only one reference. It begins: “Gaby Kennard (born 1944, East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) was the first Australian woman to circumnavigate the globe by airplane.” That’s her notability and it meets Wikipedia standards.

    How about the U.K.’s Polly Vacher? Another of the eight. She is notable for completing a solo circumnavigation and for becoming the first solo woman flyer over the polar regions. Also only one reference, a primary source: Vacher’s own book. Jennifer Murray? Her Wikipedia entry is two sentences: it begins: “Jennifer Murray (born June 1940 in Providence, Rhode Island) circumnavigated the globe aboard a Robinson R44 helicopter the distance of 36,000 miles in 97 days in 2000, earning her the current Guinness World Record for the first helicopter circumnavigation by a woman. What about Amelia Rose Earhart, who circumnavigated the globe in 2014 but did not fly solo or set any record? She has a Wikipedia page too and a good one-third the article debunks her claimed relationship to her famous namesake, Amelia Mary Earhart, (there is no relationship) while another editor also debunks the younger Earhart’s erroneous claim to have been the youngest woman to fly around the world. This article too meets Wikipedia standards for notability.

    The consistent existence of these Wikipedia articles, in which individuals are noteworthy on account of completion of the endeavor of flying around the world, mandates that Julie Wang’s solo record-setting circumnavigation for which she won a $150,000 prize awarded by AOPA China, and which has been recognized by leading U.S., China and international aviation authorities (AOPA, AOPA China, IAOPA, CAAC) cannot be excluded on supposed “lacking noteworthiness” grounds.

    Wang Zheng, moreover, is an emerging aviation pioneer. Not only is she the first Chinese person to successfully complete a solo flight around the world but is also the first Chinese to earn an FAA flight instructor certificate, the first Chinese to earn each of the three FAA flight instructor certificates (CFI, CFII, MEI), and is the first Chinese to be FAA-approved and designated as the chief flight instructor of an FAA Part 141 training program.

    As to your comment that sources must be “reliable,” it’s hard to understand what is lacking in this respect in the current draft given Wikipedia’s requirements. All of the sources cited in the article about Ms. Wang are independent secondary sources consisting of either articles written by journalists covering the story for major newspapers with reputation for fact-checking in keeping with accepted journalistic standards – and Wikipedia’s – e.g., Miami Sun-Sentinel, TCPalm Network (Gannett), USA TODAY (the original story from Gannet’s Oshkosh Northwestern while the reporter was covering EAA at Oshkosh last summer), the FAA, the Palm Beach Post, AOPA Cloud and AOPA itself. All these are secondary sources from major newspapers/outlets (and are just a sampling of dozens of articles and interviews that continue to be published in major U.S. and China media channels). What specifically about the “reliability” of these sources is in question?

    I’ve added another half-dozen or so references to the existing independent sources such as AOPA and International AOPA, to document their recognition of Julie Wang’s accomplishment, and have resubmitted the article for review. I do not, however, see that there is any deficiency in the reliability or impartiality of the previously supplied information about the solo circumnavigation event or about Julie Wang herself.

    I would agree – although you didn’t make this point – that the article could be polished a bit and tightened by the talented editors of the Wikipedia community, and hope we can quickly move to that point.Zulutimepilot (talk) 23:29, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I used wikipedia articles (already approved) from similar beauty companies of Juice Beauty's size as a guide in knowing how to write Draft:Juice Beauty.

    I see the article as showing little to no positive bias - the sources cited are independent, and I reported on the company due to its significance as a new emerging disrupter. I do not work there, and was seeking to report on a company in my community, that seems to be doing interesting things in the space.

    If a recognized news publication saw it fit to report on it, does that not lend credence to the significance of the company itself?

    Let me know what can be fixed here as I do not see any issues in the article myself.

    KylePatton (talk) 23:19, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for the clarification! Just to confirm - I should just keep an eye on the company and if they get covered by a major publication e.g. Reuters, The Economist, Time, etc. then I should resubmit?

    [1] "Why [would] the financial information about a [company] be inappropriate content?"

    Would also debate the fact that The Toronto Star article does not contain significant information. If it is the case rather that you consider it to be a minor local publication, that seems like an arbitrary definition. What circulation must a publication get to be legitimate?

    Establishing notability

    Thanks SwisterTwister for your comment the draft article for creation on Credible. [2] Unclear how "only" being around 4 years would be a notability issue. There are more than 40 million people with student loan debt. Refinancing is a fairly new thing. As CNN Money has reported, Credible estimates 8 million borrowers could qualify to refinance their student loan debt at lower rates. [3] Some "notable" companies in the business include CommonBond [4], SoFi [5], and Earnest [6].

    Request on 11:02:12, 21 December 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by FragileDiamonds


    Hi and thank you for quickly reviewing my first ever draft.

    Could you please help me with a few things as there are many topics and articles on Wikipedia and I feel like I've finally found something which nobody else has touched upon :) - I just have a few questions regarding your comment about the page hopefully I can improve the article for inclusion: "This is simply a local business listing and none of it establishes actual independent notability, regardless of anything or anyone else, because all this is for is a local company with local attention and activities."

    Question 1 - This is simply a local business listing My research tells me that this company has a headquarters, just like many other companies listed on Wikipedia of a similar nature, but they are predominantly an online company which also serves European countries. I've found nothing to suggest that it is simply a local company. I've tried to convey this through the article, but I've obviously not done a very good job of this. How can I explain to the reader that the company has a headquarters and showroom but is a major online retailer?

    Question 2 - none of it establishes actual independent notability I discovered the company in the Sunday Times newspaper when reading about the Fast Track 100 which I believe to be an independent, notable source. I couldn't link to this via The Sunday Times website as it is subscription only - How do I use the newspaper as a source as it was in there? While searching online I found that Fast Track, who run the awards, listed them as well and I used that source instead. I'm just unsure why this is independent notability?

    Question 3 - because all this is for is a local company with local attention and activities I was under the impression that the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 is national recognition, is this a bad source or do I need the newspaper source for this? I also believe that sponsoring a major television channel's programs is a national activity and has national attention.

    Question 4 I'm very new to writing articles for Wikipedia and I understand getting it right the first time is probably a miracle. I've re-read the article several times and I cannot see how it comes across as an advertisement. Could you please point me towards areas of the article which you feel advertise the company rather than inform the reader?

    I will take a look at articles from some similar companies and see what they have done I'm sure this will give me some inspiration but I really appreciate your time and would love to hear your feedback.

    Many warm regards

    "Removed worst of it"

    Have you got any more feedback on this edit to Kantar Health? Deleting whole sections of a page with a four word explanation isn't very useful to my understanding, or future contributors to the page. Gmseow (talk) 12:07, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    If that's what you think, then please take the time to say that. Comments like "Removed worst of it" just come across as snarky. I could see how the a Awards section might seem cynical (although it was not intended to be), but I don't understand how your criticism applies to the ISO Certification section you removed. It only references 2 third party sites, which are considered important enough to have their own Wikipedia page. Ultimately I'm not going to revert anything, I just want a bit more clarity.

    Hello, I wonder why do you mean by independent sources? The director doesn't have websites or anything under his name. As the article says, and it is well known in Hollywood, he is an autism person, and does not have any personal pages. By saying that statement you are not being just. All links are from very reliable sources, like IMDb or news papers from Argentina, Spain, France, even Variety Magazine from Los Angeles, which is the number one publication for the Entertainment Industry. There are more than 200 links. Have you read all of them to jump into this conclusion after just 10 minutes of posting the page? The bottom line is that I used the same parameters used in James Cameron's page. Michael Bay's page and Steven Spielberg's Page, using the same sources, which is always IMDb. If what I wrote is wrong, would you mind to help me by being more specific? If you think that a director that is ranked under 1000K in IMDb is not worth of an article, then 99% of the directors/producers in Wikipedia must be removed. I just wonder of you didn't like my visual approach in the article, trying to give more life to the page. And finally, maybe for you is not important, specially from the American audience point of view, but what Milos Twilight did for Argentine Tennis is the biggest thing ever done for the sport, and has been congratulated by the Argentine President Macri. The funny part is that all Milos's partners have their pages published, even his actors have pages, but you qualify him as not important enough to be in Wikipedia, while his employees do qualify? Please, I beg you to explain me what was that you didn't like. I really need to know details. Thanks for your time and consideration.

    I'm confused about a series of edits and I'm hoping you can help. The article "Mord Fustang" was submitted as an article for creation, and you declined it here on Dec. 21st. The article's creator then renamed the article here on Dec. 22nd and re-submitted the article to AfC (without making any of the changes you suggested), where the article was accepted. I've rarely used the AfC process and have never changed the name of an article, so I may be completely incorrect in assuming any WP:GAMING or attempt to subvert your decision.

    Your feedback on the René Colato Laínez article

    Hello! You recently proposed that the article René Colato Laínez be deleted, because "the sources are entirely trivial and unconvincing and he's not held in any libraries". I was wondering if you could be more specific about your critiques -- perhaps on the article's Talk page -- because I particularly don't understand the library comment. His books seem to be held in plenty of libraries (several of his books being held in at least 400 different library systems within the U.S. alone), and I didn't see anything in WP:AUTHOR saying that there's a minimum number of library holdings. I also don't see any justification for your assertion that this article expresses a certain POV; it's mostly pretty dry biographical and bibliographic information. Could you please clarify these points when you get a chance? Thanks!

    Honestly, reading through the professor guidelines, I don't see your point. Starting with the first criteria, "The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources," The first citation I offer (We Salute), seems to substantiate his contribution to his field. Also, the sixth criteria, "The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society" seems to be covered through his Presidency at The ASA, an organization that seems broadly equivalent to the IEEE (listed as an an example of a permissable society on that page). I added more citations in an attempt to clarify this for you. Does this satisfy, and, if not, can you provide more detail on what you mean? Your one sentence was pretty vague...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I guess it's a genuine rooky mistake. I'll try my best to improve the next submission, following your lead. In the meantime, I'm preparing now another article, let's see if that one it's closer to the Wikipedia's Standards.

    All sources used in the article are by independent and established media outlets. If this does not satisfy the requirements, then no company pages should be included on Wikipedia. Please reconsider or this issue or remove all company pages on Wikipedia, to show consequential application of policies.

    The article included four references from reliable news sources covering the band as they have toured with a notable Grammy awarding winning artist in recent years. Additionally, the images and references to the band are also currently available with Wikipedia Commons. Can you provide addition guidance on what types of additional coverage would be required to confirm the band's notability? As I have seen other band pages with far less reference information etc., this will help to clarify what more can be added to obtain approval. Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to your feedback as I truly believe this band deserves to be included in the database.

    Hi There! Advanced Wishes for a another Happy new year!! This is my first article at Wikipedia, as one of my client has their name listed in List_of_mathematics_competitions but no further information was mentioned, so I submitted my first article at wiki unfortunately their were some errors in the article which volatile the policies and article couldn't get published. In order to understand what type of article get places in Wikipedia i am in need of an expert review, one who can guide me that what all should we include in our content and what mistakes have I made currently.

    Hi SwisterTwister,

    I wonder if you have had the chance to look at the changes I have made to my article draft "Helix Dumper"?

    I understand that the article was not accepted because the references did not adequately show the subject's notability. I have now inserted the references as footnotes and the references include articles from both newspapers and journals - all of which are independent sources. The Helix Dumper has generated attention worldwide and the references I have included come from independent sources that originate in at least three different countries. I believe that I have now presented sufficient proof of the subject matter's notability.

    In my article I mention a comparable invention in the bulk freight industry - the rotary car dumper. I have included a link to an article about this invention on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_car_dumper If you visit the page you'll see that it includes no references and no evidence about its notability. I am therefore confused as to why my article about the Helix Dumper is rejected, while the article about the Rotary car dumper has been approved? The Helix Dumper and the Rotary Turn Dumper are both major inventions that are of similar importance for the bulk freight industry.

    I'd appreciate if would have time to look at my draft again and see whether it might perhaps meet the standards for publication?

    Best regards, MHKangas

    Dear SisterTwister,

    I'm perfectly willing to accept that my submission might need changes or additional content, but I don't think it would serve the public well by simply inserting the content into the unmanned vehicles page. My connection to the term is because of my involvement in military and civilian tech relating to providing spatial awareness for BVLOS operations. I have expertise in this area, but no experience as a Wiki editor.

    I do notice that I can search other acronyms like "LOS". Having an entry for each interpretation of the acronym helps with disambiguation.

    BVLOS is an acronym that will be generating a lot of searches over the next few years. It is at the center of a lot of legal and regulatory disputes because it is something that has to be addressed in order for the civilian UAV industry to survive. The first organizations with BVLOS clearance will inevitably end up dominating the industry for decades to come. There are literally billions of dollars at stake, and they can only be realized when regulations governing civilian BVLOS operations are agreed and standardized by organizations like the FAA. We are just starting to see enquiries from the scientific press as to what the "BVLOS" acronym means and why it's important. People will likely also be searching it independently of "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle". Users should be able to determine what the acronym means without having to find it in the context of a longer page.

    What can be done to make this entry suitable for publication?

    The article needs 'better' major references? Please define better, doesn't Wikipedia base the inclusion of its articles on whether the subjects are talked about? So in your opinion, unless if major media sources are citing a subject, then any exposure a band gets from any other VERIFIABLE media isn't worthy of an inclusion?

Things aren't moving very fast with Wikipedia articles it seems, not to mention your criteria for accepting (or rejecting) articles are very unclear and not very fair, to say the least. You are definitely not making it easy for people who want to add genuine contributions to the encyclopedia... do you want Wikipedia to remain a source of information that people can trust?

    Review of Cairo contemporary dance center draft article

    Hi. I am a bit tired to see that everything that I am trying to publish concerning the Arab world is systematically considered as 'not noticeable enough' by people who probably have never set a foot in this region. My draft article about Cairo contemporary dance centers contains almost 20 references, many links to already existing wikipedia pages. Plus you will find already in wikipedia at least 4 or 5 pages mentioning the center. So yeah, the references might not come from the NY Time or the Washington Post, but most of them come from reputable (notable) local - and English speaking - newspapers and organizations. If UNESCO, Drosos Foundation, Daily News Egypt, Mada Masr, El Ahram, Cairo360, Zawya, and some of world-class choreographers listed in the references are not noticeable enough for you, I guess there is something wrong with wikipedia policy - or people trying to implement it. CCDC is the first African and Arab contemporary dance school, certified by UNESCO, and a major actor in the Egyptian independent art scene, and I think it deserves to have a page on Wikipedia, even if the Times and most of the Western audience don't care about it. I'd appreciate your help in this. Thanx. Taha.Radi (talk) 21:21, 27 December 2016 (UTC)Taha.Radi[reply]

I don't see how I can bring more than that. I want to underline the fact that The Townhouse Gallery or Downtown Contemporary Arts Festival D-CAF, which are organizations of the same level that CCDC, do have wikipedia pages though having way way less references. Even El Sawy Culture Wheel, one of Cairo's most famous venues, has less references than CCDC!

    The Rock 'n Roll Rebels

    Hi SwisterTwister - regarding the notability of the subject the Rock 'n Roll Rebels were considered as having been part of one of the worst professional wrestling gimmicks of all-time when the competed as "The Ding Dongs" in WCW. Five of the six books that I provided as sources extrapolate on the notoriety of the characters, as do several of the online articles (the sixth book - The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Tag Teams - talks about their time as "The Rock n Roll Rebels"). Their fame - or infamy - comes from the Ding Dong gimmick, and I used historyofwwe.com (which has complete, comprehensive match results for the WWF and WCW by year) to flesh out how their career trajectory abruptly changed following the harsh reception that they received. I could have used YouTube as well, but as I understand that is not an approved reference for Wikipedia. Evans and Sartain are no less notable that enhancement talent that have Wikipedia pages such as George South, Mario Mancini, Dusty Wolfe, or Brady Boone, and I've provided far more sources that any of these pages.

    Hi there, thanks so much for the review of my page submission. I am desperate to know how I can correct the submission since I basically aligned with other pages in the same field that have already been published. In fact, although they all follow the same format, all the pages that I referred to contain various comments about them sounding too "promotional", "reads like a press release", and "written like an advertisement". The last link provided below only uses their own website as citations. Which is why I am so confused my submission didn't pass yet, their has.

    Dear SwisterTwister,

    Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have made the following improvements to the article to substantiate Cohen's notability:

    • Added a citation to a New York Times article that quotes Cohen and discusses her book and company; this adds to the list of reliable, independent sources including Forbes, CNN and two appearances on The Today Show;
    • Added a citation to a Booklist review of Cohen's book verified on a third party library website;
    • Referred to translations of Cohen's book into Dutch and Korean;
    • Included a new URL to a more easily accessed PDF of Cohen's Harvard Business Review article "The 40-Year-Old Intern."

    Cohen's book also received a review from Business Week and a starred review from Library Journal, to name a notable few, but I am unable to find citations on websites other thanAmazon.com, and I did not know if it would be acceptable to link to that site in this case. If it is okay, please advise.

    I am hoping that, with these changes, the article can be published. I truly appreciate anything you can do to help. --BritNSmithy (talk) 18:53, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Your reviewing

    This edit comment you added at a draft started me worrying about the standards you apply while reviewing. You stated your willingness for accepting with the addition of some additional sources. However, If I look at it, it's nowhere near an encyclopedic article. The "prose" is a barely readably sea of blue lacking any informative story. Moreover, the tables are at odds with Wikipedia not being a directory of TV broadcasts. So, I really struggle to see how you would judge this worthy of being accepted.Tvx1 23:10, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi, thanks for your review and feedback. I felt the PCA Predict page was notable as they were the developers of cloud based address verification which is discussed in a long standing address verification article, previously it could only be done by purchasing CD databases from the postal providers. I also thought the notion of turning down $100m for the business was of notable interest.

    There are many companies on Wikipedia that have no interest other than presenting their history and products so not sure what is being classed as notable.

    Hi, thanks for taking a look, I tried to provide as much reliable information about the body of work this artist produced that is notable for me. The guy is being mixed with homonym techno artists in Spotify, Deezer, AppelMusic et all and obviously he is much more notable than the other Daniel Diaz in terms of quality and amount of work done in the last 25 years. But that's my take.

    As for the "Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did " can you please point me to what exactly is promotional so I can delete it? I see biographical info and Discography as comprehensive as I could find putting together several sources. I'll start removing the adjectives I guess.

    Finally for he "the links are simply album listings, announcements and trivial mentions" both Ref 7 and Ref 8 are serious reviews (one quite recent the other some months old) that are very good reviews by independent media.

    Anyway, thanks for you fast response on this, I didn't expect it. Guess I'll keep learning and try to provide info to other notable artist (most already present in Wikipedia) instead of trying to file an unknown artist I like.

    Hi SwisterTwister and thanks a lot for the feedback on this article submission I added more relevant references to the article based on the lines suggested by you in your note. Before I resubmit the article , may I request you to have a look at it and let me know if it works now I wanted to let you know that some references that i used, are featured in known Italian magazines and web sites as "ondarock" that is one of the most important music web in Italy and as 'Rumore' which is among the five alternative music magazines in Italy. I found published here on wikipedia english some bands of the same musical label of Christine Plays Viola with less notable sources. If there is anything else I can do to improve it, please let me know! Thank you! 2.227.120.20 (talk) 15:55, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    SwisterTwister,

    Thanks for your comments on the John Minturn. I have added, what I believe to be, references to show the importance of the disaster not only during that contemporary period, but also the implications later for the Life-saving service and ultimately the U.S. Coast Guard. I have other international newspaper references that can also be added.

    Assuming the article is approved, I believe I should have placed my sources in the "External Links" area rather than "References". Is this something you can fix or can you tell me how to fix? Thanks for your consideration and help. NJBook

    Thanks so much for reviewing the draft page for Antiques Trade Gazette. I really appreciate your time. I understand your concerns on sources. I tried to find sources that show the papers notability as the fact that it has been written about and mentioned as a "Bible" for the antiques industry by other national newspapers I thought demonstrated that it has some notability otherwise other newspapers would not bother writing about it or publishing an obituary of its founder. However I will certainly strive to find further sources in the hope you might be convinced. I have just had a look at the pages of other trade publications to try to compare what others had done. The pages on Wikipedia of publications such as Retail Week, Estates Gazette or Property Week all have far less sources. [1]

    I will certainly attempt to find other sources but if you wouldn't mind considering the page in light of these other similar publications I would be most appreciative. Many thanks for your time, Holly Richardson (talk) 15:51, 1 January 2017 (UTC) Sorry to add another part to my response but I also wanted to ask if you thought the following sources would improve the page? These are all from other companies or publications referring to the Antiques Trade Gazette as a 'bible' for the trade. Would these sources help if I included them? If you thought it ok I could add a line to say 'some in the trade describe the newspaper as a 'bible' of the trade.' I could then add the following links to support that Does this help answer the notability question?[reply]

    Hello again. Thanks again for your feedback. I can keep working on it as you advise. But can I just ask another question? You say the links are too trivial. I need help understanding why they are trivial. I am not sure I understand why they are trivial. For instance one is a reference in The Burlington Magazine which is reliable (and has its own Wikipedia page) [8] and another is in the Telegraph which is a major national newspaper in the U.K.[9] . Both refer to the established and reputable nature of the Gazette. I don't understand why these are trivial? Can you explain why these references are trivial? Thank you so much for your help.

    1 January 2017 review of edits by sierpinski6

    Hi, thank you for your help with the article for Amber Atherton, which I recently edited. Could you clarify what you said for me? "not enough major independent news; focus with actual significant news, and no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews or other similar". I can certainly add more references, including press releases and interviews, I just wasn't sure where to insert them. I also don't understand what you mean by "trivial passing mentions". [edit: I see you mean not press releases etc.] I did look into pages for similar people, for example Kimberley Garner and Ollie Locke, and I'm sure the reference I have provided are at least to the same standard as theirs. Sierpinski6 (talk) 19:56, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    I have added a couple more references and would be grateful if you would take another look. please note references from major publications including Vogue (one of the most prominent fashion publications world-wide. The fashion industry is one of the largest in the world; a previous comment mentioned the Forbes list as being notable whilst ignoring Vogue’s Digital Power list, which is certainly notable itself); Business Insider (listed on TIME magazines Best 25 Financial Blogs article); Evening Standard (main London newspaper); Drapers (prominent fashion-retail magazine); The Telegraph (major UK nation-wide newspaper). I did not include references to the many news articles available online that are not relevant to the wikipedia article or that only mention trivial matters. I have browsed many wiki articles that contain far fewer and far less wide-ranging references and am frustrated as to why this one is being rejected when the notability guidelines are clearly being followed. If this does not qualify then there are many, many pages that should also be deleted. Thank you for you time, I understand that you value the integrity of this site & I hope my frustration here does not come off as aggressive. Sierpinski6 (talk) 17:19, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Dear SwisterTwister many thanks for the prompt review. I must admit I am struggling a bit to come to terms with the various protocols required to create an article. Can you just explain a little what you mean by your remarks. Currently not convincing, needs all additional major independent news; no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews or similar. i.e Needs all additional major independent news? Is that external links? i.e links to reviews etc or links to actual music. Are these external links. I thought I had included a lot but maybe not enough. Does the article read like a press release? I have read a considerable number of articles on composers and thought again I had followed a reasonable common temple plate. Yes there are a number of variations but most seem to follow a basic layout. Finally trivial passing mentions, interviews or similar. Can you just clarify this for me. I am very grateful for the prompt review just trying to get my head around the protocols. Does trivial passing mentions refer to the Author section or personal life etc? Do I need to include external links into the author section, i.e. publisher etc? The personal life section was modelled on a different composers page already posted obviously with different content names and places. Thank you so much for the prompt review. Carackus

    BLP prods

    Hi SwisterTwister. You seem to have replaced a BLP prod template with a generic prod template at Lalit Mohan Nath. I'm not sure why you did this, but in general you're not supposed to remove the former without adding a source, and although you added a different prod template, that is effectively what you did. I've now added a source to the article confirming the subject's death. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:32, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Cordless Larry He's not a living person because he died in July, thus BLPPROD wouldn't apply. SwisterTwister talk 21:47, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the death needs a source for BLP to no longer apply, though. See WP:BDP on this, which states "Anyone born within the past 115 years is covered by this policy unless a reliable source has confirmed their death". Cordless Larry (talk) 21:49, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Dear SwisterTwister,

    I have added a recent spotlight article on Cohen in Crain's New York Business; two Wall Street Journal articles quoting Cohen; a Washington Post article co-authored by Cohen; and a New York Times article featuring Cohen. We can see that Cohen is a "go-to" choice on the subject of career reentry based on the quality and quantity of journalists who turn to her. A new source cites Cohen's TED talk being translated into 26 languages. In addition the Worldcat.org library database shows Cohen's book, Back on the Career Track, is available in 687 libraries worldwide. I also added two independent library sources that cite numerous reviews of Cohen's book by executives and academics at respected corporations and universities.

    I would greatly appreciate your assistance in granting permission to take this article live. Thank you very much.

    I have sprinkled the draft article with references to a small number of standard sources. The draft article's contents are standard material, and the draft article is not about the history of the subject, so the textbook by Di Francesco et al is an adequate source for most claims.

    Hi, this concerns the notablity of the Ark Therapeutics article. I started to translate the corresponding entry in the Finnish Wikipedia fi:Ark_Therapeutics. While translating, I realized that many sources (to online publications) have disappeared during the last years. I have access to the print versions of these newspaper articles, but the online archive of the newspaper in question doesn't go back that far in time. How can one make such a source "reliable" (being in Finnish language and only a paper copy, which I cannot simply scan and put online). I will continuing to translate the Finnish version (and update the sources of the original article as much as possible). Ark was on of the first to come up with a biological drug against brain tumors. It is a bummer for those unlucky enough to get such cancers, that due to business decisions and financial trouble the concept was not be developed further. Any ideas how to develop this are appreciated.

    I am requesting a review because I am not sure how my article differs from this one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Trachtenburg and I think the requirements should be equal. I was told I without a mainstream review I wasn't qualified to be considered an author, yet I fail to find any mainstream review for Milton Trachtenburg either. Have the requirements changed? I have a mainstream traditionally published book in Taiwan which is in the references as well as references to editing work I did. I have referenced my blogs and websites (which clearly show the materials I have published) -- as he did. I have referenced my book (albeit the cover is in Chinese, but my name is not) -- he did. So can anyone tell me why -- aside from the fact I am not the father of anyone in a band or grandfather of anyone else -- one is approved for wikipedia and one is not? Thanks! Timbullins

    Review and status of Hardik A. Gohel

    Hi there. I noticed you reviewed the AfC submission for Hardik A. Gohel and deemed it sufficient for inclusion in Wikipedia. The article has now be nominated for deletion because of a lack of notability and the creator has asked for help, since they are - understandably - confused why an article was published if it merits deletion. I gave them some pointers already but since you reviewed the article I thought you might be able to help them in a more specific way. Regards SoWhy 20:31, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for reviewing the article so quickly. I was very much on the fence if a 4-time winner of one state's photographer of the year award would be just enough or not. I figured I'd spend 20 mins or so slapping it quickly together to see if it was worth wasting any more time. Thanks for your help. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 22:05, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Regarding Draft:Chris Stuckmann

    So I tried to fix up Draft:Chris Stuckmann, and I feel like the subject's notability is fairly clear. The references from reliable sources such as Uproxx, the Akron Beacon Journal, and WKYC support much of the article's respective inline content. Additionally, the subject's importance is derived from independent and verifiable sources reporting on the subject, and the subject himself has been shown from these to be a popular Internet personality, an author, and a film critic approved by Rotten Tomatoes. Sure, as a stub, the article could use more citations, but it seems alright for a stub at this time. I'll search for more citations, in any case. –Matthew - (talk) 22:53, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    This subject is a translation of the german Wikipedia entry about the Hotel Park Weggis (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Weggis). There it is accepted. Also I found comparable entries on swiss hotels, translations of german wikipedia entries as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolder_Grand; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Hotel_National). Therefore I can not understand the decision to reject this entry about the Hotel Park Weggis. Anyway I did some improvements in the sense of the criticism of Swister Twister.

    RE: Coca Xie Draft rejection

    I'm having trouble making this page stick. She is notable in China, and I have several articles written about her that are in Chinese, but easily translatable. They all outline her career in China, as well as her transitioning to the U.S. I'm confused on why this keeps getting rejected. You are probably very busy, but seriously would like some help.

    the major reasons first given for the rejection were that it doesn't have any reference , I have given references which include a very reputable internal medical journal website , and article that cover it . Second is of the largest English news paper of the country , in my option it should cover the objection , if need i can give u the email of the children hospital that he founded you can confirm from them .

    Hey SwisterTwister,

    I have a query regarding your rejection of the Thomas Sanderson Wiki entry.

    We have removed all the references that qualify as 'company announcements, PR and mentions', but I am confused by what you mean by 'localised triviality.'

    The business Magazine cites Thomas Sanderson as 'Europe’s largest manufacturer and supplier of conservatory blinds, window blinds and shutters.' The article itself does reference Waterlooville but I'm confused on how as a source it is localized triviality.

    Thank you very much for your time.

    Hi, you declined my article saying that there are still not enough references. What is the required amount? How is it decided? There are many articles on Wikipedia that are less sourced. I've cited almost all publicly available sources. Honestly, making vague comments like this pretty much deters volunteers from contributing to Wikipedia when writers get sparsely reasoned and seemingly arbitrary rejections on otherwise well crafted, if little, articles.

    Állatka (talk) 18:58, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]


    In your explanation for declining my contribution today, you note three main reasons for your decision to decline. I'll list them with my counterpoint. One, the subject is not notable. The subject is covered in Bloomberg Businessweek, The People's Pharmacy, CNBC News, and the FDA mentioned the company's work in the Associated Press as far back as 2004. Furthermore, its president is a public figure, having published an op-ed in the NY Times and testified before a congressional committee. These news sources and forums are reliable sources, ones that are unrelated to the company. Two, the contribution uses press releases as references. There are no press releases as references. There were in the first draft but not the revision. Three, the contribution is too business like. I've looked to other contributions for guidance and found that companies are described in very straightforward ways to describe what they do. The description of the subject is very straightforward but i'm happy to change it has as you see fit.

    Citronex us (talk) 19:44, 4 January 2017 (UTC)Citronex us (talk) 19:46, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]


    I'll note your comment and then explain why I dispute your assessment or have a question.

    Your Comment: The CNBC is simply a news story merely mentioning them and the NYT is still too trivial for the importance needed for notability. My response: The subject did not merely mention them in the CNBC story. The subject is mentioned five times and much of the last part covers the position of the subject's management. What do you mean by the "NYT is still too trivial" for notability? The president of the company published an op-ed of national importance. Also, Bloomberg Businessweek covered the subject and its work. That's major news.

    Your Comment: Also, this Draft itself still only focuses with what the would advertise at their own "About" section and that's not what Wikipedia involves itself with. My response: The contribution includes the basics about the company and its public role on the issue of drug prices, importation and online pharmacies and provides evidence for this role and its notability.

    Your Comment: The People's Pharmacy is then too trivial because it's only a trade publication. My response: The People's Pharmacy is not a trade publication but a consumer focused publication and public radio station with NPR. A Trade publication is a business publication covering an industry, usually for other businesses.

    Please reconsider your decision to decline. Thanks.

    I am requesting a re-review because the subject of this page clearly satisfies the Wikipedia notability guidelines. The subject is a revolutionary leader in the field of sports media - having been the visionary behind the creation of the most successful professional women's sports league in the United States. Beyond that, he is a senior leader of Major League Soccer and has worked with virtually every major entity invested in the sports marketing landscape. I revere this man's work, and feel like my initial submission was declined because I relied too heavily on a source affiliated with his current position at MLS. In my subsequent edits, I replaced such references with high-profile, independent sources including Forbes, Bloomberg, AdWeek and others to avoid any question as to his newsworthiness. I will be happy to make further edits, if necessary, but sincerely believe that a page is warranted for Gary Stevenson. Happy new year and thank you for your attention and consideration!

    Hi - you rejected my article on the grounds that notability was not adequate. However I had another user vet the notability and approve my sources yesterday.

    Happy new year, SwisterTwister. I apologize if this talk page submission is duplicative, as I wasn't logged in for my last attempt and neglected to sign with tildes. In any event, I've requested a re-review for the Gary Stevenson draft because he should comfortably fall within the Wikipedia notability guidelines. Your comments suggested that his notability was not adequately established due to my reliance on a source affiliated with Mr. Stevenson's position at Major League Soccer. I've addressed this by editing the page for concision and objectivity - and by replacing such related sources with high-profile, independent coverage of the subject in Forbes, ESPN, Bloomberg, AdWeek, etc. The subject of this page was the visionary behind the most successful women's professional sports league in the United States (the WNBA). I am unaffiliated with the subject (other than aspiring to work in his field), but can confidently say that he is regarded as a foremost leader and revolutionary in sports media and marketing. He has had a leadership position within MLS, NBA, PGA, the Pac 12 Network, and his own firm - OnSport - which has been featured in the SportsBusiness Journal. He is, in short, a huge reason for the ubiquity of multi-platform sports media across the globe. I will be happy to make further edits to this page, as needed, but strongly believe that Gary Stevenson is deserving of a Wikipedia page. Many thanks for your attention, consideration, and feedback.

    Hi David - Thank you for providing clarity on your position with respect to Gary Stevenson's notability. MLS Business Ventures is not a distinct operation from MLS, but simply the collective name given their business extensions. Within the hierarchy of MLS itself, the subject of the page is still 2nd or 3rd in command overall. Moreover, this is just one of the organizations he has steered. He was a chief executive at PGA, NBA, Pac 12, etc. In his capacity at the NBA, he was truly the driving force behind the very creation of the WNBA (which is substantiated by the sources cited). Also with respect to such sources, my hope in changing references from his MLS bio in favor of high-profile, third-party sources (ESPN, Bloomberg, etc.) was not only to establish independence, but to demonstrate that he is indeed notable and visible for such coverage. You are of course welcome to run an independent Google search on him, but there are clearly many Wikipedia pages (even in the realm of sports) for individuals with a much lower profile. In any event, I will stand by for the results of your next round of review. All the best. JohnJay17 (talk) 17:43, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Request on 21:19:32, 5 January 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Ajurisic


    Main argument for declination of my Wikipedia article on Jovan Golić: “The submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.”

    Questions: Does this mean that the quoted sources are not reliable or that the given reliable sources are not adequately cited? Which given sources are not reliable and why? What is wrong with the rationale given below? What should be improved?

    Rationale: In essence, Jovan Golić is being proposed for inclusion in Wikipedia:
    (1) for his world-recognized contributions to cryptography, most notably in the area of widely used stream ciphers, which are covered by several articles in Wikipedia and where he is known as a world leading expert, and
    (2) for his prominent role as the Action Line Leader for Privacy, Security & Trust in the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), where EIT is already covered by an article in Wikipedia.

    Item (1) is formulated by three statements:
    “He introduced many cryptanalytic methods for stream ciphers…”,
    “He pioneered cryptanalytic attacks on many widely-used stream ciphers…”, and
    “He is known for his work on…”.

    The statements are supported by:
    (i) wikilinks where his work has been referred to (A5/1, RC4, Bluetooth, MUGI, time-memory tradeoff),
    (ii) selected publications of Jovan Golić in reputable international peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings,
    (iii) two independent peer-reviewed publications referring to his work on RC4,
    (iv) citation reports by Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar, and
    (v) DBLP publications list.

    All these sources appear to be independent, objective, verifiable, and hence reliable. More precisely, the used formulations “many cryptanalytic methods” and “pioneering cryptanalytic attacks” are undoubtedly supported by selected peer-reviewed publications in premium-class journals and conference proceedings and citations of these publications. In particular, please note that his prominent publications on stream ciphers A5/1 and RC4 presented at EUROCRYPT 1997 contain first published cryptanalysis of these widely used stream ciphers.

    Item (2) is supported by an announcement on the EIT Digital weblink and one external weblink, which are certainly verifiable and thus reliable.

    Please help!

    Hello--

    Thank you for taking your time for a better entry. I just wanted to follow up on few issues:

    - As you may see in my latest updates to the Sar entry, Mr. Sar meets Wikipedia's novelty criteria in many aspects.

    • Academically:

    - Sar acted as an international advisor to the American Psychiatric Association's drafting of the fifth version of the most influential psychiatric diagnosis manual, DSM-5, in which he significantly contributed to the introduction and modern definition of dissociative disorders;

    - Received more than 4000 citations (see Google scholar),

    - Sar is 105th most impactful scientist in Turkey as per 2015

    - Acted as editor in peer reviewed American, Turkish, and international psychiatry and trauma studies journals

    • Popular newspapers, magazines: As seen in updated citations, he has been interviewed and quoted in numerous outlets over the last decade(in Turkish, English, Dutch etc)
    • On wikipedia: When writing the very important Wiki entry regarding Dissociative Identity Disorders, third party editors have cited Professor Sar's articles 6 times in the relevant Wiki page.
    • Comparing with Ooher similar entries:

    In comparison to other entries, it is clear that Professor Sar should meet the notability standards. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Somer , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9rard_Lopez_(psychiatrist). Especially the second entry is remarkable, as the entry regarding the relevant psychiatrist basically uses as the only outside source an article co-authored by Professor Sar to demonstrate the relevant psychiatrist's notability in the relevant field.

    I believe these matters, when taken in consideration, should establish Professor Sar's notability without any doubt. I am otherwise happy to assist you in updating the article in other ways that you may deem appropriate.

    Best.

    Hi, I made a few more edits to the sources on the Simply Gluten Free Magazine page. Could you please re-review?

    Also, if it's still not up to par with the standards, perhaps you could help me find additional sources or tell me which of the sources I've included are good and which are not sufficient. To be honest, there are not very many news media outlets or independent news sources that write articles about magazines in general, unless that magazine hits an all-time record for something, is part of some controversy, is founded by a big-name celebrity like Oprah or Rachael Ray, or is bought or sold by another media company. I've been looking at other publications' Wikipedia pages to see what kinds of sources they use and I'm not seeing that high-quality of sources. I looked at VegNews, which has sources that aren't what I'd consider "independent news sources" and Naked Food Magazine has no sources listed at all. Also, I was looking at Whole Foods Magazine's Wikipedia page and it has 5 sources, 3 of which are its own website and 1 comes up as a 404 error and the other is just a library website that has no mention of the magazine. The sources I've provided for Simply Gluten Free Magazine's page are far superior to the sources in any of these 3 other magazines' pages that were approved by the moderators of Wikipedia, so I would like the page to please be reconsidered.

    Before I submitted the article, I read the steps Wikipedia outlined and one of the criteria provided for notability was being a publicly listed company - I forget the exact wording and can't find it now so I don't want to write something that's inaccurate.

    I also looked for other companies in this space for examples of content to make sure I wrote things that were factual and relevant to the reader and found Lever's lengthy listing relevant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever_(company)).

    Finally, the publications I used are notable in the market where they exist (SMH, BBC) or in the recruitment industry (OnRec). Perhaps I'm just not clear as to what sort of content I should be quoting? There are other articles from earlier in the company's history about it launching, but I thought that was less relevant than recent coverage.

    Please let me know how I'm misinterpreting Search Party qualification as "notable" so that I can edit. Thank you very much for your help!

    Magda

    Jmor54 (talk) 21:12, 7 January 2017 (UTC) Hi SwisterTwister,[reply]

    I have added more to the article since last visit. I have also reviewed Wikipedia's "guidelines on the notability of music-related topics" in regards to the band I submitted a page for Mile (band). In Wikipedia's own guidelines it states: "may be notable if they meet at least ONE of the following criteria:"


    Here are the criteria I am submitting under:

    "1.Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself" 

       I believe I have provided MULTIPLE, as stated, non trivial published works that are reliable, not self published and independent of the musician.



    "5. Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). 

       Noel Hartough released music on Aware Records (as well as Deep South Records). Aware is on Wikipedia as a very notable indie with a roster of performers who are independently notable (including John Mayer, Train, Five For Fighting, Mat Kearney and Guster), and then his band Mile was signed to the major label "Columbia Records" and released music there, which went to Modern rock radio nationally in the USA and Canada. Also, the guitarist and bassist of Mile had a top 10 hit on Atlantic Records (major label), and released music there, prior to joining.


    "6.Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians". 

       As stated, Noel Hartough himself was notable for his work on Aware and Columbia, as were the guitarist and bassist of the band, as they had come from another big major label band (Atlantic Records) and had scored a top ten hit just months prior to joining Hartough and signing with Columbia.


    "10.Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc." 

      The band Mile had the song "Perfect Ending" featured in the notable film Saving Silverman, which was a Hollywood film released nationally starring Jack Black and Jason Biggs, and were ALSO included on that films official soundtrack (compilation album).


    "11.Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network." 

      Mile was in rotation nationally AND internationally, both the USA and Canada, on rock radio. AS WELL AS having their music video in rotation on BOTH the MTV networks AND Much Music Canada



     "Resources": The music the band created is also found on both the Freedb and Allmusic search engines which Wikipedia has listed under "Resources".


    I believe that I meet MORE than ONE (which is what is required per Wikipedia's own rules that I have seen) of the required criteria as listed in Wikipedia's "Notability of music related topics."


    I understand that you don't want people coming on here posting their buddies back yard band, or spamming up the place, 100%. I've looked through and seen some of the things that people have submitted which have not been approved which CLEARLY are not noteworthy.


    But I submit that a band that is comprised of members with previous history on notable indie labels and other major labels, that has signed to a major label, been placed on mainstream rock radio in both the USA and Canada, received national press coverage, has a music video on both MTV and Much Music Canada, is featured in a major film release with big name actors (a hit film), as well as the the corresponding film's soundtrack, and is out on tour with other very notable signed rock bands (Creed, Nickelback, 3 Doors down) is NOT a backyard band, or someone trying to spam Wikipedia, but is indeed notable.


    I GREATLY appreciate your time on all of this. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi,

    I just wanted to know what more i need to do for this page to be accepted. I made the changes that were requested in the last draft. Should I reference more links or expand the content?I am sorry for these questions as this is my first time submitting a page on Wikipedia and am not sure of the process.

    Thanks.

    Hey! Thanks for taking the time to review the page.

    I am hoping to get this page up and running- the record label has been in existence for 5 years, and has garnered tons of reviews for the music, specifically including many 'best of' year-end nominations for its records in significant places like Downbeat Magazine, etc.

    It seems notable that the label exists and grows considering the changing landscape of music consumption. New Atlantis is at least as significant as any of the other smaller independent record labels featured on the site- pages for Northern Spy Records, Eremite Records, etc, come to mind.

    While I understand there may not be inherited notability simply by associating with existing artists- in the case of a record label, I'd have to disagree- the whole nature and reputation of a label is determined by the notability of its roster.

    Bernstein is not an author. How can I show his notability other than show how he is mentioned in books about the fields and topics he commentates on and how his ideas have influenced others? (Thanks for reviewing so quickly) Edit: He is also notable for the strange 'Cult of Bernstein' as it mentions in the introduction.

    I copied the MSU reference that showsthat Dr. Edwards is a Distinguished Professor from the end of the first sentence to right after the words "Distinguished Professor." It is on the MSU "University-Community Senior Fellows" website. I also found another MSU article that lists her as a distinguished professor and included that after the title of "distinguished professor." Finally, I included the citations (that I also had later in the article) to support her national and international recognition for her family literacy programs in the 2nd paragraph to further establish her notability more clearly. Thanks.

    Note the alias listed as "Chef Henny". Nearly all of the 21 references list him specifically and cover the subjects notability in detail. He has millions of views on his videos as well as a song on a notable compilation album per WP:MUSICBIO Hennygang (talk) 06:04, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    I removed Facebook and fan pages from the references. I believe it is overzealous to overlook the other 16 references here. Billboard, Oxygen, Uproxx, and Complex are all major media publications and detail the subject in depth. He fits criterias 1 and 10 as a musician for WP:MUSICBIOHennygang (talk) 06:14, 8 January 2017 (UTC)85.144.161.238 (talk) 10:48, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]


    Hello. First of all, thank you for taking the time to review the article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Amsterdam_Metalfest). It has been declined due to "lack of notable sources" - I wonder, however, in how far a non-scientific subject like music/bands/events can ever have sources which are notable enough to match your criteria. In the industry this is an up and coming event, I have done research and have copied/been inspired by other festival pages which have less (notable) references than this one. Now you have suggested the page as 'miscellaneous' and it's considered for deletion. I humbly object! References are a thesis, interviews, third-party informative websites. As a writer/journalist I am aware of the necessity of reliable sources, and I second that emotion. I do think, however, your critique in this case is a bit harsh. I am wondering what needs to be done the article to be accepted. Cheers.85.144.161.238 (talk) 10:48, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi there! Thanks so much for the speedy review. I am uncertain how many sources are required for notability here, as book reviews for Rosenbaum's are not as notable as the news articles and primary materials related to his community organizing work, which are in fact much more substantive (and, since his book has not yet made it to press, are actually around, although they will be shortly). Any suggestions on how notability might be documented in a better way here?

    Thanks! Christian

    Draft Ivan Polyakov

    Hi, SwisterTwister! Thank you for watching my draft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ivan_Polyakov You mentioned that it's simply a business PR listing. I obviously can't understand why it is so. This article is a translation of the article in Russian segment - https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2,_%D0%98%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 I will highly appreciate your advise on how it can be improved as from my point of view the sources are reliable (as they are considered so in russian version) and "find sources" also gives enough links, and amount of public (non-commercial) activity and awards (gratitudes) from high ranked persons also shows the fact that ther person is recognized by other people. References are also done to the correct and reliable sources, e.g. official websites of The government of the Russian Federation, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, the Russian Orthodox Church, etc. I understand that references are in Russian, but it is mentioned in each reference. Or it should be done in other manner?
