Hi, I wrote an article for Haim Tukachinsky. I am wondering why it was rejected. The reason I got was undefined. I was writing it because he was a friend and I had gotten specific instructions to input the information. Was I missing something that was the basis for the article to be declined? I am a bit confused because there is an article in the Hebrew Wikipedia that was published and I am basing it off of that. CBDB2016 (talk) 13:00, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

05:23:26, 8 July 2019 review of draft by PG77kanpur


hello, I have been working on the article "Abhay Karandikar". I had done my research prior to creating the article and found no such Wikipedia articles with the same name. My article also has a considerable amount of references from credible sources. Yet, my article was declined from being published. Can I know the underlying reasons that lead to the rejection of my article despite being backed up by credible references? PG77kanpur (talk) 05:23, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PG77kanpur. The draft has failed to convince the reviewers that the subject is notable (suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia).
If you believe you can prove that the subject meets one or more of the inclusion criteria, then rewrite the lead to make that obvious. Being on leave from IIT Bombay does not make him notable. Having been a dean or institute chair there does not make him notable. Being the chairman of TSDSI does not make him notable. Holding patents does not make him notable. Being a consultant on BharatNet does not make him notable, and Wikipedia, being user-generated, is not a reliable source. It should not be cited as a reference, nor should medium.com and wiki.mozilla.org, which are not reliable.
For examples of well-written leads, see biographies of academics in WP:FA. Vannevar Bush, for example "was an American engineer, inventor and science administrator, who during World War II headed the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), through which almost all wartime military R&D was carried out, including important developments in radar and the initiation and early administration of the Manhattan Project. He emphasized the importance of scientific research to national security and economic well-being, and was chiefly responsible for the movement that led to the creation of the National Science Foundation." --Worldbruce (talk) 13:50, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's important to have an article that talks about the Cheyenne WY fire department. I know Cheyenne is a small city but it would be nice to have an entry about it's fire service. Maybe an editor with more experience on Wikipedia would consider stepping up and getting an article created. Thank-you.

08:10:47, 8 July 2019 review of submission by Hongkongfoodlover123

Why was the article declined? Hongkongfoodlover123 (talk) 08:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hongkongfoodlover123. As the reviewer commented, the draft fails WP:NCOMPANY. Most businesses are not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). See WP:BFAQ#COMPANY for more information. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:57, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

09:56:14, 8 July 2019 review of submission by Newyorkupdate

Hello, I've been trying to publish my post for a month now - still not quite sure why it gets declined every time. Could you help me? What information do I need? Do I need more references?

Thanks in advance. Newyorkupdate (talk) 09:56, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Newyorkupdate. Searching Google Books and Google News turns up a few photos credited to Tombor, but no writings about Tombor. So you're probably wasting your time trying to publish an encyclopedia article about him.
Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of their subject. The draft cites none. Pretty much every statement in a biography of a living person should have an inline citation that supports it. There are some external links in the body of the draft (where they are not allowed). Perhaps you meant for them to be references. You could reformat them according to Referencing for beginners, but the ones I examined either don't mention Tombor, or make only passing mention of him. They are not significant coverage, so they do not help demonstrate notability (suitability for inclusion in Wikipedia). --Worldbruce (talk) 14:18, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

10:46:08, 8 July 2019 review of draft by Jasonuptempo


Need help to get my submission accepted. This is my first attempt at creating a Wikipedia article and I'm really stuck now on how to improve or if i can actually improve at this stage to make it get accepted. I tried to make it better prior to this and it's been declined again so I'm in need of assistance.

Thanks!

Jasonuptempo (talk) 10:46, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jasonuptempo. It probably isn't possible to improve the draft to the point where it would be acceptable. What is needed is significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources that are independent of Estasia. The cited sources are largely announcements based on press releases from Estasia (so not independent), or are brief mentions. Examples of signficant coverage of a DJ (in this case Clive Campbell a.k.a. DJ Kool Herc) would be:
  • Toop, David (2000). Rap Attack 3: African Rap to Global Hip Hop. Serpent's Tail. pp. 17–19, 60–76. ISBN 978-1-85242-627-9.
  • Ogg, Alex; Upshal, David (1999). The Hip Hop Years: A History of Rap. Channel 4 Books. pp. 13–18. ISBN 978-0-7522-1780-2.
  • Ruog, Louise (February 24, 2008). "Music might save Bronx homes". Los Angeles Times.

11:13:02, 8 July 2019 review of submission by 185.179.3.130


I'm very suprised, that my article was rejected as not sufficiently notable. Article starts to describe the first post-quantum blockchain and it is something new in the blockchain area. Why is it less notable than any other article about blockchians that wikipedia contain? For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filecoin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verge_(cryptocurrency) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEO_(cryptocurrency) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_(payment_network) ... and many others

Another question is that submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. What pillars does this submission contadict? I can't see anyone.

11:51:37, 8 July 2019 review of submission by Sindysparkles

Hi, I have amended the references. Could the article please be reviewed once more? Many thanks. Sindysparkles (talk) 11:51, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sindysparkles: - hi there. The same issue is still there. As a biography, Wikipedia requires sources to be inline (that means attached to specific facts - the little blue numbers you see in other articles). Currently your sources are general, at the bottom, applying to the whole article. Help:Referencing for beginners gives 3 methods (depending on how you're editing) to make inline sources.

12:34:45, 8 July 2019 review of submission by Sindysparkles

Hi there, I have re-submitted the references this time in-line. Would you advise to remove some of the exhibitions since these are collected from the artist's website? I don't want it to be all from one website. Many thanks! Sindysparkles (talk) 12:34, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sindysparkles: - sorry, for uncontroversial things like exhibition dates (people rarely make them up), just ensuring that there's a link to the website would suffice. In any case 1 ref for the entire set would be sufficient unless someone started challenging it.
However, I would definitely still advise removing some - even in the past it reads as somewhat promotional and, in any case, obviously takes up loads of room. You could tidy them up into a few lines of prose "in Summer 2018, he showcased X at locations Y & X" (don't include all of them even in prose form) Nosebagbear (talk) 18:02, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

20:22:33, 8 July 2019 review of submission by Aballenger8

I think you should re-review my page because I made it better and I think it would be really cool for me to have a Wikipedia page because in order to get your own Wikipedia page you have to be famous in some sort of way and I don't think I'm gonna be famous anytime soon. but in case I become famous i will remove it so that other people can make me one. thank you for your time, and please think about my request.

Aballenger8 (talk) 20:22, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Can you please give me another chance to fix it and prove you all wrong. I made it better than it already was. I just really want a Wikipedia article because my friend has one and I think its really cool. I would really like to have one. When I'm older I can come back on here and see what i said and what other people said on it. Thank you for your time and i hope you change your mind-

Ana's little sister (i hope to be like her someday...)

Aballenger8 (talk) 20:32, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aballenger8: Unfortunately, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a social networking site. It is limited to including articles about people, places, or things that are "notable", which means that there are already reliable sources such as books or newspapers that are talking about them. If your friend has a Wikipedia article, it either means that they are notable, or it just means that no one has gotten around to deleting it yet. --Ahecht (TALK

03:01:56, 9 July 2019 review of draft by Emsport2000


I submitted my article over three months ago, and it still hasn't been reviewed. When should I expect it to be reviewed? Thank you

Emsport2000 (talk) 03:01, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Emsport2000: - I've reviewed and accepted the article. While max time is currently 15 weeks, I suspect this one was in the queue for the while as a bit of an anomaly with two excellent sources and a real dearth of others findable/present. In any case, I felt it passed WP:GNG, though a new page patroller will also take a look at it. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:05, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

10:19:36, 9 July 2019 review of submission by Stermotich


Hello, my article as the follow was declined, can you tell me why?

SES - Solo Extreme Swimming

It is a new discipline of solo long-distance swimming where the swimmer does not receive any support from outside and do not supply the route earlier. The idea is to enjoy in long-distance swim and permanence in water by following the coastline.

The solo extreme swimmer carries all necessary attached to his body (hip bag, backpack or similar). It is not allowed to pull or push the equipment. The swimmer can use swimming goggles, diving mask and/or snorkel. It is prohibited to use swimming gloves or similar, swimming or diving fins and any other swimming gadgets.

When a solo extreme swimmer establishes SES record, it is prohibited for him to exit from the water or relax on any floating object. Drinking and eating should occur into the water without touching the river, lake or sea bed.

Solo Extreme Swimming is most demanding long-distance swimming activities due to bad hydrodynamics, low speed, refraction waves near the coastline and no support at all.

By the actual law in most countries, there is no limitation on swimming close the coastline, but there is a limitation to swim on open shore without boat support due to the risk of being killed. Solo Extreme Swimming had his birth in Istria / Croatia in 2019.

Stermotich (talk) 10:19, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Stermotich: - it was rejected because it didn't have any sources to show notability, and additionally there did not appear to be any suitable secondary sources visible on the internet.
If you can find 1 or 2 sources, I'd suggest adding a section to the Long distance swimming article. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:36, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

10:22:34, 9 July 2019 review of submission by Stermotich

If I put a way SES?... Is ok to you to publish somewhere else the description on the web? What reference do you need?

Stermotich (talk) 10:22, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Stermotich: Sources being used to show notability should be: In-depth (c. 8+ lines), independent (no reason to be biased, and also rules out interviews/press released), reliable (generally accurate source) and secondary (newspaper, book, etc) Nosebagbear (talk) 18:49, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having trouble understanding how much cited content is needed for Commissioner Chuck Eaton. It has been rejected twice. It's a statewide elected position in GA.

It's common for PSC Commissioners, across the country to have Wikipedia pages, and they have less content than Eaton's proposed page. Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks in advance for your help. See below of examples:

19:02:35, 9 July 2019 review of submission by Romeonew

There is considerable resource in this article, due to which it comes in the Notable category of Wikipedia.--Romeonew (talk) 19:02, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Romeonew. You are mistaken, at this point in his career he is not notable. The draft cites a few reliable sources, such as The Times of India, Dainik Jagran, and Dainik Bhaskar, but they either don't mention Thakur at all, or mention his name only in a long list of credits. They are not significant coverage of him. Download sites like Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube don't demonstrate notability (Netflix doesn't even mention him). The remaining cited sources are not reliable. I recommend that you stick to the reliable ones listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force#Guidelines on sources until you have gained more experience in evaluating sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:21, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I want to publish a Wikipedia page for Sanjay Gogia, who has received many scholarships, had been a politician, is a lawyer & has written books on the same. If I am missing out something or has overpraised the subject or has violated any guideless, kindly help me with precise information. SanjayGogia (talk) 07:21, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@SanjayGogia: What you are failing to understand is that the topic is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Experienced volunteers have explained this repeatedly. No amount of editing will make the topic acceptable. Editors who refuse to accept a consensus may find themselves in violation of the disruptive-editing guideline. That can lead to loss of editing privileges, and potentially other sanctions. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:07, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft is stuffed full off totally inappropriate non neutral, trumpery and puffery "Celebrity fans like Jean Paul Gauthier, Carla Bruni and Pierce Brosnan dine alongside the Greek power set and globetrotters" "worldwide known advertising agency," "gastronomical prowess" " audience and fans around the globe" "gastronomic journey" "pioneering authentic Greek gastronomy" "unconditionally answers the call to humanitarianism" "over a dozen best-selling cookbooks" "boasting record ratings" "prestigious Greek cooking school" for example.

I submitted an article (American Political Thought: A Journal of Ideas, Institutions, and Culture), for creation. American Political Thought is a new, major peer-reviewed journal of political science, which, like other similar journals, should have a Wikipedia article describing it.

@MarcoLaudato: - currently (nearly) all your sources are primary or otherwise non-independent. Sources need to both not be from the organisation but also not inclined to give non-neutral coverage about it by any connection. Nosebagbear (talk) 17:07, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

16:33:37, 10 July 2019 review of submission by MarcoLaudato


The previous version of the article has been rejected due to "Fails WP:NCOMPANY requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. The organization's websites are primary sources and not acceptable reference."

I apologize for the inconvenience. In this new version, which I kindly ask to be re-reviewed, I have added further independent references. In particular, I have added as main reference the L'Aquila University web page dedicated to the center. Moreover, regarding the center scientific journal, I have added also the reference to its SCOPUS page.

I believe that in this new version the article is acceptable for the Wikipedia standard.

Thanks for your attention.

I have written an article about the first online magazine dealing specifically with Afro-Latin rhythms (kizomba, semba, kuduro, etc). Until now there has never been a magazine on this subject and I found it interesting to write about it, however, the user Dan arndt has rejected my article, the reason he has given is "undefined", I don´t know what it means. I would like to improve my article and I would love it will be published at Wikipedia, What do you advise me to do?. Draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Agora_Kizomba_Magazine Thanks

So I didn't get any feedback on the initial review. I think it was just punted to deletion because of the perceived copyright violation (which was erroneous). I would really like to get some constructive feedback on the article to know if I can submit it for formal publication or if I need to tweak it in whatever manner. Thanks!

Hi I would like to know why the actors in the film The Creatress are credited in the film in Wikipedia but when clicking the link in their pages, the page doesn't exists or doesn't show properly? Can you approve the page so actors can be properly credited? Thank you!

JSpice85 (talk) 19:53, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@JSpice85: The links show up in red because no one has written an article on that person yet. If that page will be created by anyone, the software behind Wikipedia will make it blue. Jannik Schwaß (talk) 06:19, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first submission. It is fully proofed and revised, and ready to go. How do I submit it for review? I thought that I hit "Submit for Review", but cannot tell the status.

Shoethorn7685 (talk) 21:38, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Shoethorn7685: You submit your draft for review by adding {{subst:submit}} Anywhere on the page and hitting the normal save button you already know. If you copy the code from here, copy it when viewing the page to make things work as intended. Note on file: the current backlog is about 4 months, so please be patient.

My article got declined and I'd like to know why. If it is too short I can work on it some more with my colleagues but I was expecting it to be open to the public first.


Roachmin (talk) 22:05, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Roachmin: - it got rejected because no suitable sources were used, as explained by the reviewer - twitch/Imgur aren't suitable.
You need sources that are reliable, independent (usually excluding interviews), in-depth and secondary Nosebagbear (talk) 10:39, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

04:31:32, 11 July 2019 review of submission by Forallerrors

Hello. I dont understand why they are saying the topic is not relevant enough. Star Alex was suggested to be written about on wikipedia multiple times. I have followed Star's work since her gifboom days (when she was in middle school she was famous already) Now she has become famous on another application (instagram) and is making huge changes in the modeling industry as a petite model. She is changing the standards of beauty and just because her name is Star, means that all of the information about her online is getting hidden behind irrelevant searches. Star Alex is a notable person and should already be included in wikipedia, which is why I submitted an article on her. I am really dissapointed. The article was a lot of hard work, and effort, and Star deserves to have her information on wikipedia considering she is notable enough for me to have found countless accounts of people pretending to be her, or fan accounts for her. Please let me know if we can fix this and give fashion model Star Alex her first wikipedia page. Forallerrors (talk) 04:31, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Forallerrors: - firstly, Wikipedia "notability" isn't the same as relevance (which would be unbelievably hard to objectively judge - we'd never agree on it).
Multiple dummy accounts or fan accounts can be used to reliability verify facets or even be used as a good indicator of notability (a person could duplicate these things to push a person in if we used that as a criterion).
Instead, you need some sources that are reliable, independent secondary sources. The current included sources (those that cover her in depth) generally aren't independent (they have reason to not be neutral about Star Alex)
I fully get that her name makes her extremely tricky to search "google unfriendly" - I suggest using "Star Alex" and then adding key words always associated with her, which should pare it down. Looking in google news will also help filter to the types of sources we're looking for. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:36, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerard-Odonovan: - while it is much less promotional, improvements in the editing can't fix a lack of notability. All the sources remain non-independent (and they need to also be reliable, in-depth and secondary). Nosebagbear (talk) 10:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How do you edit a citation that i used the template to create?

Franceslk (talk) 09:55, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Franceslk: - hi there. I don't know if you're using Visual Editor (looks a little like Word) or Source (lots of {{ }} everywhere)
In Source, go to edit, and in each source you need an additional specification. Add "|title=Appropriate Title A" [Exclude " "] within each template, changing the title as appropriate. If you aren't wanting to add a title, you can just change the specifications as you wish.
In Visual, click on the blue number, click "Edit" in the sources box, and add/change the appropriate info.
If you give a specific case (and editing style) I can tailor my answer Nosebagbear (talk) 10:30, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

11:03:28, 11 July 2019 review of draft by Aliso4ka2013


Hello! For the third time I've been trying to get an approval for my article to get published. Users who made a review left a message that the article references doesn't show significant coverage. But I added 23 references including Associated Press interview and Reuters article. I think it's proven resources with not just a mentions and I don't understand why my article declined. What can I do? Thank you! Aliso4ka2013 (talk) 11:03, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aliso4ka2013. In cases such as this, just adding references is rarely the solution. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of the topic. What is needed is quality, not quantity. If there aren't 3 solid sources, having 23 poor ones won't get the draft accepted, and if there are 3 solid sources, having 20 other weak ones will only obscure that fact.
Examining five of the cited sources at random:
  • The information on goldnews.com.cy ("FXTM drives itself forward with its core values firmly in tow ...") appears to have been supplied by Dashin's company rather than being the product of independent reporting.
  • The AP piece is a primary source interview in which Dashin talks about Dashin with zero analysis by AP. It is neither independent nor secondary.
  • Reuters contains only three sentences about Dashin.
  • RBK Group is a good source about Alpari Charitable Fund, but hardly says anything about Dashin.
  • RIA Novosti is a press release. Wikipedia is not very interested in awards covered only by press releases from the awarding entity or the recipient.
Keep Reuters and RBK Group if you can't find other independent, reliable sources that are deeper. Throw the other three away. Perform the same analysis and culling on the draft's 18 other sources. Aim for 6-8 sources total.
An example of significant coverage of a businessman in an independent, reliable, secondary sources is this article about Freedman. If you can't find significant coverage of Dashin, he may not be as noteworthy as you think he is. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:54, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tproveau (talk) 12:56, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I got this message: This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

There aren't any references per say (this page is just an explanation of the e-library) but I have a few links to external sites that are reliable (like the World Health Organization). Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi Tproveau. Thank you for your contributions. On Wikipedia, notbility is a test used by editors to decide whether a topic warrants an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia aims to have articles about topics that have gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, as evidenced by significant coverage from reliable, arms length sources.
The draft references no such sources (the World Health Organization is reliable, but not independent because it established and owns the library), so the draft fails to demonstrate that the topic should be included in Wikipedia as a stand alone article. To continue with the topic, you'll need to come up with some independent, reliable, secondary sources that cover the library in some detail. The bulk of any article should be based on such sources, rather than on non-independent sources.
If you can solve the above problem, there are additional problems to fix. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an instruction manual, so the entire "Users Guide" section should be removed. It also is not a place to promote or advocate something. An organization's vision or mission statement is usually regarded as promotional, so use care when discussing its purpose and target audience. Don't state something as fact in Wikipedia's voice if it's an assertion by the organization. Instead attribute the statement to the organization inline. Finally, external links, those that take the reader away from Wikipedia, are not allowed in the body of an article. A limited number are usually allowed in an "External links" section at the very end. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:54, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

N needing help to develop the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mavi_Veloso Hi It's been awhile we're trying to create the page . The wikipedia seems to be a very complex thing to do though. After some time trying and not succeeding and being rejected it seems i'm not actually able to develop this page. Is there another way we could do it? how can i collaborate to someone more experienced to help develop this page about the artist Mavi Veloso?

Maviveloso (talk) 14:03, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Maviveloso. There is a requested article service that might be able to help, but it only works if you are able to identify at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of the subject. Performatus is a good start. What media outlets commonly review the arts in the cities where she has worked? If Folha de S.Paulo and Le Soir, say, had each published a full-length review of her work, you would have three good sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:40, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My article has been rejected by the user DAN ARNDT because he thinks that there is not significant coverage. There are few external references because Afro-Latin rhythms are not very popular in northern European countries yet, hence there is not much coverage.


--Kzmba212 (talk) 19:26, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Kzmba212. If there is so little coverage (it can be anywhere in the world) that you cannot cite at least three independent (not from the magazine and its principals), reliable (not self-published blogs, for example), secondary sources (not primary source interviews) containing significant coverage of the magazine, then I advise you to set the topic aside for a few years, it is not currently notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). --Worldbruce (talk) 20:06, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A collaboration between CIRREALT Interuniversity Research Center, Université Laval, and Canada Research Chair in Interconnected Business Engineering had created a research paper titled Crowdsourcing delivery. Also, crowdshipping is one of the main sub-topics, written by Alan McKinnon, professor of Logistics at Kuehne Logistics University.

Greetings. I have recently wanted to translate few articles in English to Slovak, as the topics seemed interesting and there wasnt any information in my language. Problem is that there is lack of sources in Slovak of said topic (for example, Gastraphetes). Is it acceptable to just straight up translate english article using the same sources (essentially copying them over) or should I just refrain from creating such new pages, for which I lack sources in relevant language? Hrdina Impéria (talk) 16:03, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Hrdina Impéria: - so long as the various important facets of translating articles is followed (citing/linking back to where you got it from, ensuring you aren't machine-translating etc) then it's generally fine to use the same sources (I don't know Slovak editing requirements, but there's no issue on our side).

Hi,

I am pretty new to Wikipedia as the only completed profile I ever submitted was for trans activist, Ashlee Marie Preston. That process went pretty smoothly. Then I submitted a request for the most high-profile LGBTQ Civil Rights Attorney & Activist, Peter Perkowski. Last night I noticed from my phone that an editor with the username: Athaenara tagged my submission for deletion. I rushed home to respond from my laptop and wrote a note to them explaining why Peter's profile was worthy of a Wikipedia page. But my submission was deleted immediately with the reason that I was paid for creating the profile. This is not true and I explained that in my dispute post.

I am confused as why someone would and can make such a claim and it only takes a false accusation for my work to be deleted. Anyone who looks up Peter Perkowski will see the significance of his work as among other things, he is currently suing the Trump Administration in four class-action lawsuits on behalf of trans service-members.

I am not very good with Wikipedia's system and confused with all the steps. I don't know what I can do next in order to save Peter's profile. Please help as I appreciate it.

Thank you and kind regards, vic
