I have included news articles from cyclingnews.com and cyclingtips.com, both of which are major sports news outlets. Are these sufficiently important outlets? If so, I can include more references from different articles on these sites

Andrew Rothschild has invented the genre bluestronica. There is no published music that falls in this genre of bluestronica. Andrew Rothschild's music does not fit the blues, or electronica genre. Hence he has created a new genre. No artist has claimed their music to be apart of this genre. He has elements of both in his music. The sources are legitimate. This is not a scientific matter, he is an artist and his artwork has received notable attention.

I was researching this company for work and was surprised that they didn't have an article in wikipedia. I wanted to know who they were and what their basic business model was. I had to go to an external source to find this. I thought it would be useful to have this info in wikipedia. I don't work for them, I don't have a vested interest in their success or failure, I just found it annoying that this info wasn't available here, and wanted to fix that.

Thank you for your review of my draft. I have been through way too many drafts, re-writes, and deletions for this page. It has been shortened, condensed, and as many sources as are available have been cited. I have read all of the articles that have been linked. There are no other sources available on the internet, as it is a small company. There are no opinions reflected in the draft, only basic facts. I don't see how this can be changed any more. This latest draft is even a re-write from one of your moderators. Please advise.

Appreciate the comment regarding notability, however surely an amateur gym which produces a national finalist every five years; has a host of professional boxers at its platform and trained a world heavyweight contender is defined with some element of notability? References, both past and present, throughout the history of this establishment highlight its significance?
I'd very much appreciate your feedback as to how I can make this article more robust.

Hello SwisterTwister, I understand your point of view and the publishing rules on Wikipedia. Really, I do! The reason I decided to send the article in Wikipedia (even it doesn't respect the rules) is because Ezi Car Rental is become the first 100% Kiwi own rental company in New Zealand. New Zealand is a small country. References are not like in Europe (where I come from) or another big country in the World. With the current rules of publication only the big companies can be on Wikipedia. Is it really the most relevant point of view for an online encyclopedia? I could be wrong but I don't think so. It is not an argumentation for publishing the article about Ezi Car Rental. Your decision respect the rules. It is just my point of view about this. Now, I will wait until someone else decide that Ezi Car Rental is enough relevant to be on Wikipedia. Thank you for your time and for your participation to Wikipedia. Jeremy

The band "The Hot Place" fits your guideline as, "an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles." The founding member and guitarist of The Hot Place, Jeff Calder, is a notable musician who is also currently active in the band "The Swimming Pool Q's". The Swimming Pool Q's are a national band, and have been recognized in Rolling Stone magazine, their most recent album "1984-1986:The A&M Years" was a Rolling Stone "Reissue of the Year", picked by David Fricke, on page 32 of the December 19-Jan 2 2014 print magazine. The Swimming Pool Q's have had five national/international album releases, on the major labels A&M, Capitol, and Bar None. The singer and other founding member of The Hot Place, Lisa King has has been a member of notable band The Glenn Phillips band, who have released albums on Virgin and Sony Records. King also played keyboards with The Swimming Pool Q's from 2003-2006. The Hot Place features guest guitarist Richard Lloyd of the band "Television", another member of a prominent 1970's band, with historical releases on Elektra records. The Hot Place has been featured in print, in significant North American publications "Georgia Music Magazine", "Stomp and Stammer", and "Creative Loafing."
23:02:39, 18 January 2017 review of submission by Evelynivy
The Hot Place is directly connected to two major musical artists. One of its founding members is Jeff Calder of The Swimming Pool Q's, and guest artist Richard Lloyd of Television, who already have Wikipedia Pages. Could you please clarify how to substantiate that more? I did connect The Hot Place to The Swimming Pool Q's via internal Wikipedia linking. The sources cited, if read in detail, are more than just announcements, interviews, and mentions. They directly discuss how Jeff Calder of The Swimming Pool Q's and Richard Lloyd of Television are connected to and/or are members of the Atlanta band The Hot Place. Many of the album reviews and mentions of the band are in analog print media, though I have found several digital places where the band's members are verified and substantiated. Thank you for your help!
This article in particular substantiates The Hot Place's history and verifies the notable musicians who are members. http://www.clatl.com/music/article/13080910/new-wavers-instudio-chemistry-ignites-the-hot-place. I'm not sure how this is not a substantial source. If you could clarify, I would so appreciate it! Thank you!

Hi SisterTwister! Thanks for taking the time to have a look at the changes to the article... Just a quick question for clarification (so that I can get the next edit right): Is the problem that there are not enough external references? A bit confused, as the first reviewer indicated that the article was copied, so I removed all direct references to this (even though they were quoted/cited), but not that there weren't enough notable articles... Please let me know what I need to do to improve the article and have it accepted. Thanks again!

Hi, I would respectfully appreciate a review. Melissa Del Pinto has been recognized as a Canadian artist by The National Gallery of Canada and her name was added to the “Government of Canada, Canadian Heritage Database of Canadian Artists”. I have added the link. In addition, to address the points used to refuse her submission, her paintings are in the collections of notable Canadian collectors. I added the name of Irwin and Claude Lande. Mr. Lande is a noted real-estate developer living in Westmount (Montreal).

I have worked on finding more sources for my citations. The first three reference citations, are from National, credible print and digital magazines, the state run publication "Georgia Music Magazine", and a newspaper which is owned by the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, "Creative Loafing." The References directly explain how The Hot Place contains two notable international musicians in its lineup, Jeff Calder of “The Swimming Pool Q's” and Richard Lloyd of “Television.” Especially notable is source #2, Georgia Music Magazine. This is a state-run print and digital publication. Source 1 and 3 are not merely announcements, they are also detailed articles which explain The Hot Place's debut, and the notable musicians that are involved in the historic project. I also added another source that I found this morning, “Arts Talk” on Blog Talk Radio, Episode #104 Lisa King. I have also looked at other Atlanta bands Wikipedia pages. Some of these are groups which are far less notable than The Hot Place, with no notable musicians involved, and cite less reliable sources. So, I'm curious as to why those articles were approved, and this one is being rejected. Please advise! My sources all verify the notable musicians involved in The Hot Place.
Added another cited source, from "The Recoup" magazine, by Joseph Kyle, in which Jeff Calder directly speaks about being a member and producer of The Hot Place band, with musician Lisa King. https://therecoup.com/2014/04/21/swimming-pool-qs-working-at-the-nut-factory/. The article quotes Jeff Calder of The Swimming Pool Q's, "We have about 2/3 of a new album mixed, and a few basic tracks standing by in the queue, waiting to be finished. I’ve co-produced them with Tim Delaney, a talented Atlanta musician and engineer we’ve worked with as far back as Royal Academy. It certainly helps that I’m friends with a number of great recording engineers, many of whom I was fortunate to be associated with at Atlanta’s legendary Southern Tracks studio, which I helped to manage for many years and where I was on the periphery of what seems like a hundred major rock albums produced by Brendan O’Brien.I like doing new things, having recently produced and played on an album by The Hot Place, Lisa King’s band based in Atlanta. It’s a pretty cool record that has a song called “Saturn Moved” on which Richard Lloyd of Television unleashes a wild solo."

I have resubmitted the article to incorporate all the changes suggested by yourself and other Wikipedia reviewers. I have made substantial changes throughout the document
to get rid of any extraneous or unnecessary language, with the effect of streamlining the article. The article now only contains direct and informative language with no self-promotional or journal-like language. I believe you will find the changes I have made to be much more in line with a Wikipedia article.

Obviously trying very hard to conform this to meet the criteria, but wanted to clarify what was meant by focusing on all additional major news, there is a video interview from CNN, but most of the stories tend to refer mostly back to the Chicago Facebook page that I mentioned as a primary source, which to me makes the additional sources a bit moot, but I am willing to do what is needed to get this thing done :) Any further guidance/advice you can offer would be extremely appricated...thanks for the fast review!
08:18:54, 24 January 2017 review of submission by Dignan00
Thank you for your time. Rene Moreno meets the notability requirements when you look at it from the angle that he is a very significant person with Down syndrome. That's key here. His documentary is commonplace in collegiate special education curriculums across the country, and has been for 17 years. Up Syndrome has been on Netflix, Hulu amongst many other major streaming outlets for many years. His movies have been the subject of reviews in major trades such as Daily Variety (which is referenced), and he has won a very prestigious award from the National Down Syndrome Congress of the USA (also referenced), which is one of the largest organizations to promote the awareness of Down syndrome that exists in the world today. I think when you look at this person with the correct angle you will understand that he is indeed notable and worthy of inclusion.

The amount of, the breadth and the character of the sources, as well as the notable award winners proof that the article is about a notable subject. So if this is not enough, please be specific about what should be improved.
07:03:34, 25 January 2017 review of submission by Robfarago
Thank you for your feedback. This is my first article. I have only ever made minor contributions to other article over the last 10 years or so. Before I wrote this article I read the pages that talk about notability and also needing independent credible sources from news/media publishers who have editors etc.. I believe the page I have drafted has merit based on the guidelines. The development of renewable energy in Australia has been significantly influenced by not for profit and grass roots groups such as Local Power. Not sure if you had a chance to read/view many of the references and if you did perhaps you are not familiar with the Australian media organisations in the references?
The TV coverage of this community initiative was made by the ABC TV network and the TEN TV network. The Australian ABC is a highly credible news organisation of journalistic integrity spanning radio, TV and online. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Broadcasting_Corporation The Australian TEN TV network is one of our 3 commercial news networks and comparable to perhaps NBC or CBS in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Ten Both of these TV broadcast news services thought this was a newsworthy community initiative which had not been done before. The youtube clips are recordings of the prime time TV news article which were broadcast to audiences of over 1 million people each.
Similarly the ATA is a very credible member based organisation and magazine publisher of ReNew magazine, which has been publishing since 1980 and is not up to it's 138th quarterly magazine https://www.ata.org.au/who/history They chose to write a feature article about the Local Power project because it was something new and novel.
Finally the City South News is a local community newspaper and part of the News Corporation stable of newspapers. While I am not a big fan or Rupert Murdoch (Fox News yuk!) he did get his starts running newspapers in Australia This chain of local papers are said to have 1 million readers weekly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_Community_Newspapers
I would humbly ask you to take a closer look at the references, taking into account the above information about independence, and please reconsider this rejection.
thank you.

18:06:50, 27 January 2017 review of submission by Carrie at The Fischer Group
Thanks for reviewing our article, I really appreciate it. I want to update the article so that it meets guidelines, but wanted to know which portion specifically doesn't conform to the guidelines so I can work with that. From what I can tell, the article if not very different from the following (in words / scope) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/I_Homes or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulteGroup.
Fischer is in the same group as those two homebuilders (and many others already included in Wikipedia) and being in the top 50 in the nation (something that M/I mentions in their article as well) I would think that content is noteworthy as well.
The remainder of the article just lists out the areas of business (where they do business) as well as a small amount of history (founder etc...) for the company (something I see the other Homebuilders do as well.)
If you could give me a little more feedback on what is different from my article and those above (as initial examples) I would appreciate it so I can make the needed changes.
Thanks! I look forward to your help / further comments on the differences.
16:22:53, 29 January 2017 review of submission by Carrie at The Fischer Group
Ok, that makes sense. So what updates do I need to make to it for it to meet the new company guidelines? I don't see any specifics on that which we have not already covered here? I'm specifically looking for "doing this would make it meet the new guidelines" kind of information.
I've re-read the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Companies/Guidelines and it appears from what I can see there that the article, in its current state covers the areas mentioned.
Again, as far as companies go, and looking at the other homebuilders (as well as other companies) in the space, Fischer is certainly in line with those which are included. (They have been in the top 50 home builders for many years now, they operate in multiple states nationwide, they have plenty of press on them, they are are one of the big builders for the St. Jude's dream home giveaway (which benefits less fortunate people), and the list goes on.
When you get time, let me know what I can do in the way of edits to help get this article revised and into the article space. I appreciate the info so far. It is helpful.
Thanks.
14:27:34, 30 January 2017 review of submission by Chadyrm
Hello, first, thanks for taking time to being a Wikipedia curator.
There are 6 main sources cited, that are serious sources (in the Middle-East, and Lebanon). Text publications are rarely digitized, but I could recollect printed articles (Can/should we add them as references and provide scanned proof? What is the procedure for such cases).
The company had a social impact, which is why it is covered. As you might have now noticed, the digital ecosystem is nearly non-existent in this region, and having publicly accessible digital manufacturing service shop with industrial 3D printers in Lebanon is a big step. Not to mention the creation of new 3D printing materials! (2 materials) and several machines.
Additional projects may be appended: Rapidmanufactory has been invited to the St-Etienne Design Biennial this coming march to exhibit: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/theobsessivedrafter/ . This would generate articles by "more known" media entities. A published book about manufacturing (especially digital fabrication), was created by the founder; An article in "L'Orient Le Jour", talks about it: https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/1030988/guillaume-credoz-et-son-robot.html
Looking forward to your assistance in having this article published.
Thank you, Chady

Dear SwisterTwister, thank you for your review and suggestions for improvement. You are absolutely right, the viennacontemporary header needs to be deleted (done).
Regarding additional articles: I added an article from the NY Times from 2015: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/14/arts/international/vienna-looks-east-for-fine-art.html?_r=0
But otherwise, I would like to argue that the most important English references are already included in the article (I guess I can’t add German publications where we have a lot of press, in all the major newspapers). I have included: Forbes, Vogue, and important publications from the artworld: Wallpaper Magazine, Blouin Artinfo, Artsy, Sotheby’s blog, The Art Newspaper, artnet News, Flash Art, artforum.com, Widewalls, Cultured Mag.
Would that be fine for you?
16:23:06, 30 January 2017 review of submission by Hamhaugh
Hi there,
many thanks for taking the time to review the page I created. I am new to Wikipedia so am finding my way through trial and error so would be grateful for any help to improve the chances of submission! I felt the subject worthy of an article, largely because of her role as ambassador for the Orange Tree theatre in London. The theatre is a theatre that produces new work of exceptional standard, most recently reviewed in Variety magazine Los Angeles, and acknowledged to be a forerunner in new writing. Heery was one of fourteen invited because they were considered to be 'leading figures in the Arts and beyond – who will champion the work of the Theatre.' She is also a member of the Davison/Tennant family who have a large fan base in the worldwide science fiction community, not only because of her work with Big Finish audio, but also because of her film work in the series The Tripods, and Life Force. Her son, David Tennant's step brother in law, Louis Davison, has just played Victor in Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children made by Fox films. As an ambassador for theatre she is able to reach a wide audience through her body of work, regular TV work spanning twenty five years, and professional relationships within the literary world. Is any of this helpful as regards an edit?
Best Hamhaugh.

I'm not sure how to ask, but you reviewed our page for the Hanna Boys Center last. I just found a reference to our non-profit in the United States COngressional Record at our 60th Anniversary in 2010. It's obviously old but maybe it can help as a non-local reference.
I am not sure what else I need to do here. I am happy to strip content out of my entry to get it to be non-advertising but I don't know what to remove.
This process is more than a little difficult.

I would like to thanks for your review. Unfortunately my submitted article doesn't meet wiki's guideline for notable personality article. After your firs review I have added a few more references. I think it should meet your guideline.
Here I want to inform you that Bangladesh's news industry basically depends on Bengali language. A few English language Daily Newspaper or Online News portal available in here. So, Bangladeshi actress Misty Zannat's news are all around in Bengali language online and newspaper but a fewer in English newspaper and online. Before re-review my article please consider this fact.
A food for thought....

You declined this article with the reasoning "this is simply what they would advertise to clients and it's unconvincing regardless of anything or anyone" however, it is not clear what is 'unconvincing', much less who is 'anything or anyone'. Please state coherent grounds for declining it, so that the problem can be fixed.
Also, you stated "examining the sources find they're only announcements and mentions". This did not reflect the facts at the time of the original submission, and even less so now. In the original submission, two reliable, independent sources were cited (namely Cleveland Encyclopedia and ASME), both showing that the subject of this article is both notable and worthy of inclusion. In the meantime, a second more detailed reference by ASME (which has a national audience) as well as a reference from Heartland Science (created by the Ohio Academy of Science) have been added. Both of these also discuss how the subject of this article is notable and worthy of inclusion.
Please accept the submission. Thank you for your time.

HI there Twisted Sister,
Many thanks for the re-review, this is Michael Stever, (filmmaker) I am NOT the person who created this initial draft, nor am I the one who has amended it the last couple times. There is no (Present) need for a re-review as my team has not had a change to make any changes/updates so clearly it's a mute point until then. I did have just a couple questions regarding the submission protocol and I've not been able to get a solid enough answer from the person doing this for me so am reaching out to you myself. I realize that you want more 'high profile' pieces added to to this draft, which I actually am in the process of providing. To date myself or my team have just not had the chance as we've been swamped with work, and other obligations.
In the meantime, if you don't mind me showing you the two pieces I'd planned on adding, it would be HUGELY helpful if you could give a heads up if you thought these two following write-ups could be helpful in pushing my listing through... Here are the two mentiones in two nationally circulated, high-profile publications. BOTH of the below write-ups are relatively new...
FEATURED MENTION IN 'ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY' http://ew.com/article/2016/09/14/fearnyc-new-york-horror-film-festival/
FEATURED WRITE-UP 'FANGORIA' magazine http://www.fangoria.com/new/winners-highlight-video-revealed-for-fearnyc-festival/
Finally, TwistedSister... if I may humbly ask, Why do the rejection notices constantly and repeatedly say that the submissions need to be ABOUT ME, not BY ME? Most of these links and such are to write-ups in noteworthy, legitimate online publications, so I (nor the person doing this for me) are clearly understanding the particulars of this important bullet point. Can you PLEASE expand on this, so I/we know? I have NEVER had the question adequately answered, and clearly we need to better understand so my team can fine tune the draft to a most acceptable level... Is it that I need to ensure ALL links to anythings tied to my own website, (MichaelStever.net) need to be fully omitted? Am also in the dark on what does, or does NOT constitute as worthy information from IMDB, as I see COUNTLESS other wiki pages that list/feature IMDB content.
ALSO, I'm worrying that this existing draft will somehow be deleted, or permenantly removed if it gets enough 'rejection' notices, so PLEASE is there any way to ensure it NOT get re-reviewed anymore until myself and my team have time regroup, and re-edit, it would be sincerely appreciated,
thank you for ANY clues you have TwistedSister..
My mom's also about to pass, so have to brace for that which leaves this pretty low on the priority list, but SO SINCERELY appreciate any help or input you could offer,
Sincerely,
Michael Stever

I translated, from the english to the spanish, and expanded the article about Rebecca Solnit. There is no spanish article about Rebecca Solnit in the Wikipedia. My article was rejected because "the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Rebecca Solnit instead". In english you have an article, which I did not edited, but in spanish there is nothing about the author. I am new in wikipedia and I do not know what to do, how is the correct procedure when you are translating an article from a language to another? Could you give me some information about the steps I need to follow right now?
Many thanks in advance.

I think we got it - I hope. I edited the subject's career section to introduce the connection with the subject's books. I also added hyperlinks within some of the sections and other small edits. I've studied the subject for a while, so I think it's important to keep the critical aspects of the career history as they led to the books. Without the career section, then the subject didn't have the expertise to write the books. Thank you.

I have read the Golden Rule and the requirements for significant comment from reliable sources but I do not understand what is missing to prove the notoriety of the one of the most controversial people in Alberta politics, the Mayor of Alberta's 14th largest city (Chestermere) Patricia Matthews: see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Patricia_Matthews_(politician)#cite_note-77 . Just today she was cleared of wrong doing in a year long Provincial investigation (see the last line AND the two cited independent media sources).
Is it that there are some references to 'smaller' sources like The Anchor (local newspaper) and if so should those references be removed? CBC, The Calgary Herald, The SUN, Global TV, 660 News and others are all very large scale media outlets that operate regionally or nationally with large well paid editorial staff. The article contains dozens of such references over controversies driven by Mayor Matthews and the "smaller' references help fill in the story so I would hate to remove them.
Your comments as to what is missing would be appreciated.

Hello! I am new to editing Wikipedia (I have always been a regular user of course!). Thank you very much for all that you've contributed to the project. I am surprised that Susto the band is not notable enough for a page. They have two albums, were recently featured on CBS News, have been reviewed by local newspapers and music websites, and are about to go on tour with the Lumineers. I have seen them play at at packed venues twice. It seems odd to me that they would not have a page at this point.

Hey Swister. Thanks for reviewing my page. I'm just wondering if you can help with a little more advice. I've asked in the live chat for some more advice (as I'm new to this) and been advised that the main reason is our page sounding like and advertisement (as you've suggested as well that it seem like a business listing). I've done my best to avoid that by only stating facts etc. but if this isn't the case (and if you have a chance) would you be able to help me understand if there was a specific section that is still in the wrong tone?
I only ask as there are two pages for competitor businesses that are similar (with the CD Baby one in particular even referencing their prices etc.)
I understand it's not a case of "They have a page so you get one too", just wondering if there is something I'm missing that makes theirs okay and the RouteNote one require changes. Apologies if this sounds argumentative (it's genuinely not written that way, but tone is hard to convey in text!).
Also, just in case you see this message before I manage to fix my user page, I am about to attempt to declare that I work for RouteNote (in case it wasn't already clear).
Thanks again.

Hey Swister, Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions and help me with this article. I see what you mean regarding the sources being merely mentions within articles. Do you think it would help if I removed the majority of the sources with the exception of the West Briton one (which is a specific article about RouteNote) and maybe the PC Mag one (as that is a guide for other aspiring musicians on how to upload music, one where the reviewer happens to use RouteNote)?
Also, if this would help, can we still keep the references to the websites that have reviewed us without specifically using the sources? Again, really appreciate your help with this. It's my first article submission for Wiki and want to get it right!

Decline of Draft:Ewald Arenz
Dear Swister Twister, thanks for having a look at the new article about Ewald Arenz. I can see that there is a problem with German and Italian sources, but those are partly printed and online encyclopaedia articles, secondary literature on the person and partly reviews by German TV and Radio stations. Since his works are increasingly published in other languages an English wikipedia site seems reasonable. Besides, there are already two articles on Ewald Arenz in the German and Arab Wikipedia. I have already and will add some more references if necessary.

hello Swister Twister ( I hope this message gets toy you?)
thanks for reviewing my article. "focus only with the best focused major independent news as this is what establishes notability"
Are you refering to articles written primarily about Maria Ripoll in national Newspapers etc? The ones written about the films she did and of course also talking about her (her directing style, her carreer etc) ... they should be valid then I guess ? I have already linked up a few of those ( el Pais/ La Vanguardia etc) , but I can find more and add them to "further reading" ...or expand the article into much more detail to add them as footnotes ( would that be a good idea?)
I also linked the awards & festivals that are mentioned in the article to the actual awards pages (Alma awards, the Goya Awards pages etc) other directors dont seem to do that. Is it better to delete those links and focus only on the Newspaper articles?

Hi
Thanks for taking the time to review this again, we'll get there eventually!
I understand what you say regarding the Custom Step sentence being too suggestive as an advertisement and have removed this sentence with the latest edit.
However, I'm not entirely clear on what you mean regarding your "starting company of the year" comment. El Camino Bracelets are not seeking funding or support, however, it'd be great to start with a basic Wikipedia page now, upon which can be added over time. The most similar company to El Camino Bracelets appears to be Pura Vida (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pura_Vida_Bracelets). If my latest edit does not pass, please could you give me a couple of pointers as to why the proposed El Camino Bracelets Wikipedia page would differ from their Wikipedia page, I am far from an expert in this area, however, when I compared the two, the basic principles appear to be very similar.
Thanks for your time,

02:49:47, 4 March 2017 review of submission by TheBandShirleyFan
Hi, SwisterTwister. First of all, thank you for taking the time to go through this submission and checking all the information and references. Nevertheless, your feedback states that this article lacks independent sources, which clearly isn't the case. Out of the 13 unique references, only 2 are from the band's own Facebook page and 1 from an announcement article. The rest are feature articles from various online music-related and non-music-related magazines, legitimate newspaper websites (meaning, the article has also been published in local broadsheet), and a University-based newspaper.
Thus, I am requesting for a re-review and reconsideration. Ang Bandang Shirley is a notable band in the local independent music scene in the Philippines, which serve as other younger bands' (who have their own Wikipedia pages) mentor and inspiration. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotelic_(band) which listed Ang Bandang Shirley as an associated act. I believe this band is much worthy of having their own Wikipedia page given their name and reputation in this field.
Hoping for a positive response. Again, thank you.

Hi there
Thanks for your comments about the page I have submitted "London School of Samba"
I would like to appeal against the decision not to put this page on wikipedia for the following reasons
1. It deals with a band that plays samba, a world-wide musical genre from Brazil
2. It is about the first band to be established in the UK
3. Wikipedia has an entry for samba, and many entries for samba schools in Brazil - notably Mocidade (the patrons of the LSS) and Portela (the winners of the Rio Carnival this year). Why cannot Wikipedia thus have entries for samba schools in the UK, notably the first of the genre
4. No-one has yet written a book on samba in the UK, so finding a outside reference like this is impossible (compare that say to punk or hip hop). So here I cannot provide this most basic reference from outside the organisation. If you google "london School of samba" and "1984" to you will that it is a fact that the LSS were the first group
5. There are many newspaper articles on the LSS - but many of these which have a historical context are from before the time of the internet (or even just published in Brazil)
6. The LSS was the first samba group - now it is estimated to be anything between 400 and 600 such groups in the UK.
7. I cannot provide a source for above as (a) the one orgnisation that provided or corralated this information has gone down due to the death of the owner in 2015 (it was called the UK Samba Association and can still be found on google searches) (b) the Arts Council of England have published this information many times but only in internal documents for meetings with bands they fund
8. Thus putting a page up for the LSS would be the same as doing it for any first or early band or any particular genre (viz The Sex Pistols, The Damned etc)
9. In summary, samba is poorly documented in the mainstream media in books or newspapers in the UK
10. I have edited the text down to be as brief as possible. It could be even less than this. I ask you to consider the historical significance of the first band to play samba in the UK. I feel this is worthy of a wikipedia page.
Kind regards

I have found these links. They are from Brazilian, French and British newspapers dating from 1984, 1985 and 1986.
These talk about the London School of Samba being the first samba school and mention the historical significance of this (albeit not in English and there are no internet sources for this other than what is shown, these cannot be seen online in their original form from the publisher that first printed them).
1984 "First samba school in London" (Brazilian newspaper in the UK) https://www.flickr.com/photos/lsshistoricalarchives/29668458331/in/album-72157671195026723/

I have two more important articles
- From The Independent 5th November 1998, talks about the LSS being the first samba school in the UK. I only have this as a JPEG. Interview with people in the school. Big article (half a page)
- From LEROS, a Brazilian magazine in London. An article on the 25th anniversary of the LSS, when they were visited by a Brazilian samba school Mocidade. Talks about the history, the links with Brazil. I only have this as a JPEG.
I cannot show you these as I cannot upload JPEGS as an example.
None of these articles on the internet. I feel that we are going round in circles. We have a historically significant event *the emergence of samba in the UK* But no-one has written a book The only newspaper articles exist from before the internet so cannot be cited unless you accept URLs from a Flickr page that has the originals. You allow samba schools from Brazil But not the first samba school from the UK I have reams of evidence, but none online - except from the links I have provided, which are original scans

This is my first wikipedia article so I hope this is now correct.
Thanks for reviewing my colleague's page - [[Draft:SAP_Web_IDE]]. I (195.93.234.8 (talk) 06:49, 5 March 2017 (UTC)) have taken care of all the concerns -- notability, sourcing -- and believe it is ready to be released. It is as sourced and notable as hundreds of already approved Wikipedia pages on similar subjects. Can you re-review the page? If OK, should I remove the warnings?

Added citations from multiple notable sources, including references to subject in USA Today, Vanity Fair, Yahoo! News, Entertainment Weekly, NPR, Perez Hilton, Vulture and more.

Hi there,
I have stripped the article of anything which could be construed of opinion or unsubstantiated facts. Would you mind reviewing it please.

21:57:33, 5 March 2017 review of submission by Sharon Holdstock
Hi again.
I am unable to find any "news" related information to support the article. I have however checked with governing bodies such as the Intellectual Property Office which is a government body https://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcase/Results/1/UK00003135353 and Companies House https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08638142 which are both verifiable government bodies. Does that help? I would have thought if the source was verifiable like a government agency (i.e. IRS, FBI etc), that would supersede news publications. Is that not correct?
Regards, Sharon

Dear Swister Twister: I am requesting a re-review because I have revised the following to comply with the guidelines, specifically by citing published works which discuss my contribution to the field, and also reviews of my books in international journals and other objective, publicly-available sources. I should add that two of my collaborators mentioned in this draft, Stuart Cunningham and Graeme Turner, have entries in Wikipedia.

Surnames
Hi! I'm glad you're making new surname lists; they're one of those areas where the work is never done. Just be aware that if the list is only people with the surname (as in Aricò), then it's not a disambiguation page, but a name page. Use the {{surname}} (or {{given name}}) template at the bottom instead of {{disambiguation}}. The WP:WikiProject Anthroponymy banner should be put on the talk page. The style practices are quite similar to dab pages, including birth and death years for each entry (if available).
When there's a single non-surname use of the word (again, as in Aricò), it works to put that into a "See also" section.

Thank you very much for reviewing the article.

I'm just not really sure what more notable reviews or write ups you are looking for. The Village Voice, Pazz and Jop, AllMusic, and Popmatters are some of the largest music publications in the business besides Rolling Stone and Spin. "We need all majorly published reviews" What does that mean? You need MORE of them, or you don't like the sources? Because the sources are very high profile and reliable sources- all of which were referenced in the references section.

Hi there
thanks so much for feedback. I'm not sure i'm following you on the 'sounds like an advert'. the page just lists the subject's achievements and what he does for a living as most notable people entries do. Jason has thousands of followers and listeners to his pod casts, so it;s important to include all the rest of his career portfolio to make sure those who are interested in him can see what he does.
Another similar example on Wiki of notable people which follow the same tone as this entry is the opening paragraph of Simon Cowell's page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Cowell
Happy to edit and resubmit, but perhaps you could provide more specific elements to your feedback?

Hello. I completely understand the need for vigilance to make sure that a Wikipedia page does not become an advertisement for an individual/business. I respect that. However, my article on Jacky Teplitzky was declined because it was "Simply an advertised business profile targeting information to clients, there's no inherited notability from others."
What I don't understand is how having over 20 articles published about you, being a keynote speaker at several events, and appearing on CNBC, CNN, etc does not make you a "notable person." IF the media has decided this person is "notable" is that not enough?
I understand if using her personal page is unethical, and I will remove those citations if need be. I just don't understand how https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dottie_Herman gets approved, but this is declined. Mine has far more sources, more reputable ones, and is written with more research.
I thank you for your time and I hope we can figure something out. Stanley febreezy (talk) 17:51, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Decline of Eclipse Jazz draft
Hi David,
I hope my concerns regarding your rejection of my draft on Eclipse Jazz will reach you here.
From what I understand, the article has been declined three times with concerns about my sources. This baffles me as the sources include articles from three national music magazines (Billboard, Down Beat, & Jazz) and 8 articles from the two major newspapers of Detroit Michigan, the 11th largest US market. There are nine sources from The Ann Arbor News. The three newspapers, including Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News, all have Wikipedia pages. Within the article, there are 53 Wikipedia cites, mostly of the artists presented by Eclipse Jazz.
University of Michigan student radio station WCBN-FM was the primary media partner of Eclipse Jazz. IT has a Wikipedia page.
Please help me understand what I have done incorrectly. Many thanks.

9 March 2017 review of submission by Karin Jam
Hello [SwisterTwister]]
Many Thanks for your comments on my draft article proposal on RL360°. I have updated the page and removed most of the content but I have to say I am very confused as to how my page was rejected even though my sources were from credible publications such as the FT, Bloomberg, Independent and the New York Times. What's more puzzling is that I based my article on other pages that are on Wikipedia. I can't understand how pages with very little content, citations and notability are approved, and the one I created was not. The company I am writing about has a long history in Life Assurance / Insurance and origins from the biggest players in the business who even note the company in their on wiki pages.
Can you please check my new draft and if you are still not happy can you provide more details about which sections are not sufficient? Really apprreciate your guideance. Karin Jam(talk) 09:57 8 March 2017

I don't know how much more independent evidence of a person's notability you can have than the awards received, with citations and reference s to the awarding organization's websites, including the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and patents issued as independently verifiable on the USPTO website. Nevertheless, I've added further documentation with references to two published histories of the laser, from the National Academy Press and the Optical Society of America. If these are not independent evidence of notability, I must request a different reviewer.

Recently created distinguished/named chair articles are not verifiable
Hi ST, you recently created a bunch of stub articles for distinguished or named chair articles. In many of these articles, including Harbir Singh, Joseph R. Mason, Richard J. Herring, Nicholas Freudenberg, Amanda Lynch, Peter Cummings, Laurie Cutting, David Dickinson, and Paresh Dandona, the only sources you cited were at their respective academic institutions or at Google Scholar. Because these sources are self-published or are not independent of the articles' subjects, their use as the articles' only sources appears to violate the "not based primarily on these sources" rule of WP:BLPSELFPUB. Can you add some independent sources to these articles? Thanks! --Alex Cohn (let's chat!) 02:11, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Alex Cohn In this case, however, it what satisfies WP:PROF, because it's only their own schools who are going to have in-depth profiles; given the circumstances, these are not people who will frequently appear in anything else. SwisterTwister talk 02:15, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- My concern is with verifiability, not notability. WP:PROF: "An article's assertion that the subject passes this guideline is not sufficient. Every topic on Wikipedia must have sources that comply with Wikipedia:Verifiability. For instance, major awards listed must be confirmed, claims of impact in the field need to be substantiated by independent statements, reviews, citation metrics, library holdings, etc. (see below for specific notes), and so on." I read this to require that each article's crux of notability (i.e. the distinguished/named chair) must be verifiable to an independent source; only after that bar is met can self-published sources be used. Do you read it differently? Alex Cohn (let's chat!) 02:36, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- In such education subjects, it's different because there's no doubt an institution such as Harvard, Yale, etc. is going to publish questionable information, and WP:PROF counts anything that shows they are still significant in their field, acceptable. The university will even have a separate page, in several cases, showing a full list or information of who endowed it. From WP:PROF: "This guideline is independent from the other subject-specific notability guidelines, Conversely, if an academic is notable under this guideline, his or her failure to meet either the General Notability Guideline or other subject-specific notability guidelines is irrelevant" and "Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions are notable".

I respectfully request that you please let me know what needs to be accomplished to gain approval for the article I submitted for Constance DeJong (another artist who shares the same name as the existing one on Wikipedia) which was submitted on Saturday, March 11th in participation with Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon in Albuquerque, NM. Thank you very much.

HI, I submitted this article for review: User:Sujai_Thomman/Crowdsourcing_Evidence,_Argumentation,_Thinking_and_Evaluation_(CREATE)_Program.
Your comment was, "Simply an advertised business profile and the sources are only announcements or notices, not enough to satisfy our simplest standards."
The CREATE Program is not a business, it's a U.S. Govt funded research program, that follows on from the Ace Program.
I'm currently working on getting more sources, but I think the page is notable, verifiable and suitable.
Please advise.

Dear Swister Twister,
The article I'm posting about Mr. Hugh Duncan Wilson, has been declined by lacking of notability. He is a very shy person, and although always requested by Volvo Museum (Volvo Ocean Race) he never submitted anything about his history. The man is very well known in the sailing industry, specially by those who sail offshore. He is known as one of the "Sailing Legends" and there is 2 books wich tells the story of the quest of conquering the 2nd Round the World Race back 1977.
If reading the book, you will realize that Mr. Wilson under coordination of the visionary Cornelis Van Rietschoten, was in charge of accompany the construction and find sailing solutions that made possible the conquering of the race. After the Flyer, the industry of sailing racing yachts has changed coming to what we know now as the F1 of the seas - The Volvo Ocean Race.
Mr Hugh Wilson, was crucial part of this and is in the picture that covers the two books, besides the texts of course. He was also invited to join the Volvo Ocean Race that will take place this year (2017) for the "Legends Race", a movement is being done to rejoin all the remain Flyer crew and the boat itself to do the regatta.
As a new user, I understand the article may be missing the correct style and finishing but I would like too have the chance of keep on improving and updating it. Once his article is be on, I'm pretty sure other users around the globe will add info as well.
Ps. Mr. Wilson just fight and won a war against a cancer and is decided to comeback to the sailing industry as a skipper and panelist. And this article in wikipedia is crucial to Youngers to get to know about him and his work.
Thanks for your comprehension.
Kind regards,

I have read the guidelines on what is verifiable and I just don't understand why the person I am trying to write about keeps getting denied from submissions.
Could you please help me create the page?
This is an artist/product inventor that has international support and has won a yaddo fellowship award which is huge. I have supplied what feels like 100s of different places that have spoken about him including different wikipedia pages and yet he still doesn't pass the "guidelines"
Perhaps I just do not understand how to use this complicated site haha.
If you could help me with this, I would truly and deeply appreciate it.

Thank you for the previous answer! Actually our company is from Russia so most of our links is to Russian news sources. I have to say that it's top sources in our countries. On the other hand we almost haven't links in European or USA news because we are just going abroad and only at the beginning of our PR work. Is it possible to go forward with links which we have right now?

Hi there,
Many thanks for looking at my draft article for the International Bioacoustics Council so quickly. I modeled my entry on a similar Wikipedia entry for the International Association for Sound and Audiovisual Archives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Association_of_Sound_and_Audiovisual_Archives
I can't see that much difference between the two articles, including the references section, so could you help me understand why my article was declined when this one made it through? I can then work towards improving the article.
Thanks very much

First, a person who receives so much coverage by the independent print & electronic media in different countries as well as from such Heads of State as Queen Elizabeth II etc, is a "notable" person and, hence, readers should be able to find information about him/ her in an Encyclopedia.
Secondly, I am an Advocate-on-Record (Supreme Court of India) and am well-conversant with Law, but the way the Page (which was still under construction at "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Creativegb/Jugpreet_Bajwa") has been DELETED by your "administrator" shows that your he/ she does not know even the ABC of Law.
Thirdly, it was explained in the appropriate Box while uploading the image, that it was not intended by its Author to be "copyrighted". Apparently, your concerned "administrator" does not know anything about the Copyright Laws, especially about the 'publicity material'.
Fourthly, in violation of the Principles of Natural Justice, no reasons at all have been given by your "administrator" for the said DELETION -- simply saying that "See the Section about speedy-deletion" WITHOUT specifying the particular rule that has been violated, is no ground at all for deletion.
Fifthly, Pages that are still under construction, ought not to be DELETED.

Hello SwisterTwister,
I am writing to find out why you rejected the draft of Joshua Sullivan based on the notability criteria. Mr. Sullivan is a renowned data scientist, author and thought leader who is widely quoted in the media. He founded a highly respected data science competition that focuses on solving global problems (detecting heart disease, improving the health of oceans, etc.) with Anthony Goldbloom, who happens to have a Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Goldbloom). Additionally, the article on Mr. Goldbloom has six references, while the article on Mr. Sullivan has over a dozen references. Lastly, if you google Joshua Sullivan along with the term "data science," over 329,000 results are generated.
Given Mr. Sullivan's accomplishments and notoriety, he clearly meets the notability criteria. So further clarification from you would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly. DrSyence (talk) 17:45, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Our article follows closely the set up for another Advertising notable - Lee Garfinkel, who's wiki entry has 13 references vs 18 for Gary.
Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. The sources we have quoted are reliable and independent of Gary - they are The New York Times, AdWeek, The Wall Street Journal, among others. They fall in line with the references that Lee Garfinkel's entry uses, and are organizations of note, and the information they support is verifiable.
If there are questions about the content within the entry, please elaborate, and if you have any suggestions to make it more robust, I would love to hear them.
Thanks!

Hello SwisterTwister(?)
I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean by: "I'm willing to accept".... and "but it specifically needs all additional significant independent sourcing; notability cannot be inherited from others."...
I've personally been through a couple of Fintech (& other (ie: Insurtech)) accelerators. These (& consulting companies (ie: PwC, KPMG, Accenture, Deloite Touche, etc.)) have referred to other such tech groups as retailTech, RegTech (Regulatory), PeerTech, and others.
My difficulty is in finding veritable references that specific expression... but it will emerge.
Please let me know if still "willing to accept" my explanation.
regards, Chris

Dear Staff,
Thank you for providing your feedback on the article. Is there a chance to speak to someone and get advice on how we can change/edit the material and still be considered for publishing it? The webinar announcement, which you referred to, has relation to WINGS initiative in general, however, our goal was to share experience of conducting WINGS of Hope project in Kyrgyzstan. Obtaining detailed feedback would help us to explore other ways on how we can improve the materials and still publish it on the website. Pleas let us know if phone or skype conversation would be more convenient for you to have rather than email communication.

I am a physician. The US government (US National Library of Medicine) and medical specialists no longer use the outdated term "Alternative Medicine" (removed from the US National Library of Medicine terminology in 2002). The new term (as of 2009) is "Integrative Medicine". Therefore, the Wikipedia article titled "Alternative Medicine" needs to be renamed "Integrative Medicine" to reflect the current terminology amongst physicians, researchers, the Institute of Medicine, and the US Government (e.g. the National Institute of Health and the Health Resources and Services Administration.). Alternatively, Wikipedia could rename the current article titled "Alternative Medicine" to "Quackery" or "Pseudoscience", and create a new article called "Integrative Medicine" that does not forward to the Quackery page.

An essential field of activity in Dariush Borbor's case is architecture; and so, most relevant Wikipedia notability criteria are those applying to creative professionals. Note that (a) conditions 3 and 4 of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals, and condition 9 of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics) are clearly satisfied in Borbor's case.
