If you're here about an article that I declined/rejected please read these quick rules first...or you might be ignored. |
1) Post new sections at the bottom of the page. You can do this by clicking the "New Section" tab near the top of the page.
2) PLEASE LINK TO YOUR ARTICLE, I go through a myriad of pages a day, I won't know what you're talking about unless you link your article.
3) Please do not just ask "why did you decline my article?". The answer is given in the decline message on the draft. If you need clarification beyond that, or have questions about the linked policies then please ask away.
4) Please don't request me to re-review your article unless I've specifically asked you to do so. If you feel it's fixed then resubmit. AfC is incredibly backlogged and someone will get to it when they can. This can take up to 3+ months.
I welcome anyone to comment or reply to others on my page, but please be kind and if their post breaks one of the above four rules, please ignore them as well.

New page review request
Hello, dear Sulfurboy, I hope that you are well. Few of my recent page though almost fixed by one of our admins remain unreviewed. Since you've new page reviewing rights, I'm requesting you to review these articles — Zayn al-Abidin Sajjad Meerthi, Rahmatullah Mir Qasmi and Darul Uloom Raheemiyyah.

Hi,
I am not paid to write any articles nor have any interest in doing any promotional writings. The website is currently co-owned by myself.
Thought I could start my Wikipedia editing with my own website first before venturing further.
Happy to remove the page if it's violating the policies.
- If you co-own the site you need to properly disclose as you have a financial stake. Please take the time to read our policies if you are going to continue paid editing and editing with a WP:COISulfurboy (talk) 14:33, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Operation Demetrius
Dear Sulfurboy
I made some modest edits to the Operation Demetrius article based on your suggestions. these edits were modest in nature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Operation_Demetrius#Why_cherry-picking_is_bad
All of these edits were rejected by FDW777. FDW777 left a range of comments in the talk section attempting to explain his rationale - I have refuted each of those and explained why my edits should remain.
I do not wish to revert back to the changes I made until a third party considers their merits first.
I would appreciate your input.
Thank you Carefulacts
Hi Sulfurboy, I would appreciate elaboration. I wrote the article because I found that the wikipedia backlog regarding requested articles included the subject. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics#Business. The issue of notability is derived from there. As a side note, during the research for the article, I've come to see it as notable. Its a major award in the Canadian business landscape, and companies are above proud to receive it. Moreover, candidacy for it requires the companies to undergo tedious coaching and other burdens, only to be considered.
Regarding the tone - please clarify - I have not gave any synthesized statements and have expressed zero opinion. Pratat (talk) 14:55, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Pratat, A subject being listed on that page does not make it notable, in fact subjects are regularly posted on that page that aren't notable. I would recommend reading over the linked policies linked in the decline message since you don't yet seem to have a solid grasp of what we mean by notability. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:59, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Dear Sulfurboy, you rejected the draft on Ricardo Eichmann and linked the criteria for notability for academics. So far in the article I only mentioned that Eichmann is a professor, would it suffice if I mention that he's the director of the Orient department at the German Archaeological Institute? It seems to me that that would suffice the academics notability criteria (specifically point 6 "highest-level elected or appointed administrative post"). Maltimore (talk) 16:38, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Maltimore, No, I wouldn't believe so. 6 typically refers to whoever is the head of the institution as a whole. I would imagine that most profs at that institute have a similar title of being a director or head of some subset. It's worth a shot though, I probably would defer to another reviewer for their opinion. You can also seek clarification on the talk page of that notability guideline by making a post at Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics) Sulfurboy (talk) 16:55, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Sulfurboy! Thank you for taking the time to review the draft for The Doo Wop Shop. Regarding notability among a cappella groups, although it is a niche audience, the a cappella community is quite a large one. Achievements such as the CARAs are like the "Grammys of A Cappella", as cheesy as it sounds. And although achievements of The Doo Wop Shop are mostly covered by local news sources, being invited to Radio City Music Hall's Christmas Spectacular and the White House Holiday Reception for service staff, as well as America's Got Talent's auditions and The Sing Off (The Sing Off was a nationally televised A Cappella program featuring top professional and scholastic groups, and was where Pentatonix got their start) is a reflection of The Doo Wop Shop's notability beyond "Boston" (the specifics of those events aren't publicized by those entities for various reasons). Obviously we aren't touting popularity that rivals Ariana Grande or other chart-topping musical artists, but I disagree that we are not notable within a large audience of people. I understand that since it is a niche audience and we don't have a large number of national references, it may seem like we lack notability, but your review was based on your limited and subjective understanding of a cappella as a community and its reaches. Would it help to add a list of notable alumni? I can reference sources that display their notability but it is difficult to find more recent sources directly pertaining to The Doo Wop Shop's recent achievements. Compared to many a cappella groups that have existing wikipedia articles, however, it seems like we exceed the standards for being a reputable a cappella group, although the a cappella community may collectively fail to meet "general notability standards". That being said, again I understand the standards that are applied to all incoming articles and I apologize if some of the above statements come off as a little charged. Can you please let me know a little bit more about what qualifies as notable, or specifically which a cappella-related sources may be useful to cite? Thank you again for your time! Patricknie7359 (talk) 8:54, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Patricknie7359, You can review WP:BAND for an idea of some thing that may qualify the group. You also need to properly declare your WP:COI with the subject since it is now apparent you are a representative of that group. You should note it is quite frowned upon to write about yourself or an organization you are affiliated with. If your group is truly notable, someone will write about it eventually. While some of the things you listed are nice, none would demonstrate notability. If you have issue with other a cappella groups wiki pages then feel free to nominate them for deletion.

Request on 02:28:45, 16 April 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by ChristinaL.P.
I am confused as to how I can make the subject seem more noteworthy. I used appropriate articles as references that were published (not blogs nor social media) which discuss the works that the subject has contributed to and how these have had huge impacts on the community and how important it is. I am mainly confused because I looked at other Wikipedia articles as an example (or "template") to base myself off of, and it seems quite subjective to determine that this subject is not noteworthy, whereas other published and acceptable articles I have read are of the same caliber.
ChristinaL.P. (talk) 02:28, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- ChristinaL.P., I'm not sure why you are bringing up other pages. There's roughly six million pages on Wikipedia, if you have issue with an existing article, then you should apply any applicable maintenance templates or nominate it for deletion. I would instead focus on your article and clearly demonstrate how this subject passes WP:PROF. I can tell you that it is quite rare for an associate professor to meet that guideline. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:40, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Apologies if this message is not properly transmitted, I am unsure of how to use this properly. What I mean is what is it that is the issue with the notability? Is it just that the work itself is not worthwhile (an issue with the article or the way it is writen), or is it specifically that the references I used do not properly demonstrate that it is noteworthy? I am asking because I have pages worth of various sources I used to write the article, and chose the ones that seemed the most credible to me (peer reviewed, etc.), but if this is not the case, I can change to other references. If the issue is with the content of the article, unfortunately, there isn't much I can change about that.
ChristinaL.P. (talk) 02:28, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- ChristinaL.P., Again, as stated multiple times now, notability needs to be clearly demonstrated via WP:PROF. If you feel other references would do a better job of that you're welcome to try, but like I said, it's incredibly rare that someone who is an associate professor would qualify under that guideline.
About New Kind of Nework
HI Sulfurboy, thank you for your kindly Suggestion. I have modified the citation style recently. Actually, I take IPFS as the reference, including writing neutrally and finding the citation and reference to create this article. I think the citation and reference are enough to support the article, if not, could you please tell me where or how should I improve this. Really appreciate your help!

Draft: Big Rick Daniels
I added that Big Rick Daniels is now syndicated on Sun Broadcast Group. That was one of the suggestions from moderators to resubmit with.
He did not win the ACM award, but just being a nominee is pretty notable. Its a part of country music history.
The article has citing from trade publications, that provide in depth coverage of the subject. There are also cites that show local and national coverage that are more than just passing mentions.
There are other articles with FAR LESS coverage, notability that have been allowed to be published, example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smiley_Morning_Show
I would ask you to reconsider this article please.

Jasonreed1828 (talk) 15:08, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, you just declined my new page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:1828_(website)
First, I have no financial interest to disclose - I'm Deputy Editor of 1828, but I'm not an employee. It's a voluntary position. I'm a full-time student.
Second, it says in the comment that the page has too many citations - last time it was declined for not having enough citations?
Thanks
- (by talk reader) @Jasonreed1828: You've plastered the draft with citations from the website where you are the deputy editor. We need sources that are independent. While the BBC citations are independent, I'm still not sure you've made a case for general notability. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:16, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- (by talk reader) @Chris troutman: The citations you're talking about are showing that various notable people have written for our website, so they are links to their author pages - I'm not sure how else I can cite that other than linking to our own site? Other citations elsewhere include Sky News, the BBC, LBC Radio and Conservative Home, which are all reputable. Jason Reed (talk) 15:16, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
I have declined this draft again and have requested a topic-ban against the paid editor. Johnson probably should have a BLP; she appears to satisfy academic notability. But she won't get a neutral article as long as her flack is sending stupid fluff down the AFC pipe. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:42, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Nacsport
Hi Sulfurboy,
Thanks for taking a look at this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Nacsport
Re: Your comment. I don't believe anybody has previously asked me to disclose anything, unless I missed it. I actually put a disclaimer in the Nacsport Talk page but I now realise this should have gone in my own user page, which I have now done. I repeat that disclaimer here for you:
I want to make it clear that I am not being paid to write this article. That being said, I have done some paid copywriting for this company in the past. This article is simply a way for me to pass time during the Corona Virus crisis here in Spain where the whole country is on lockdown. I'm trying to learn a new writing skill.
I chose this subject to write about because they are one of the few companies in the Canary Islands which has a presence on the global stage. I also wanted to write about something which is close to home (Gran Canaria, Spain) and something which hasn't previously been written about. I've spoken to Nacsport about this and they gave me the green light to write this, and I did make them aware of wikipedia policies about objectivity (although I'm learning a lot about this too during the writing process!), etc.''
Can you advise me if this is sufficient a disclaimer to allow me to continue with the article?
Thanks in advance,

Carlos Cruchaga
I see you rejected Draft:Carlos Cruchaga for lacking in-line citations. While that was certainly true, it was obvious it was somebody posting their resume, and in fact an earwig search quickly found it was a total copy-paste from their faculty page. You might want to routinely run an earwig check on everything you review :-) -- RoySmith (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- RoySmith, I typically try to when a page stands out or before publishing to mainspace, but earwig likes to crap out on me all the time. Thanks for catching it :D Sulfurboy (talk) 14:50, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, Yeah, earwig is unstable, but this one had "I've posted my academic resume to wikipedia" written all over it as soon as I glanced at it. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:54, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Artist not relevant rejection
Hello Sulfurboy,
You've rejected our page submission because our artist topic is not relevant to you, I am writing to please reconsider our submission.
The artist we are writing about has been around for 20 years, toured the globe and will be releasing it's 10th album this summer.
We can provide you a number of instances of other similar artist's Wikipedia pages that have not been around as long, not released as many albums, and have only references to interviews and album reviews, all of which you mentioned have been issues that caused our rejection.
Currently Google Play (and other outlets) curate their artist information from Wikipedia. Without a Wikipedia entry, the artist looks unprofessional. Also in Google search, past members are shown as being in the band, when founding and current are not. Google search is in most cases the first introduction to information about the artist.
In our first attempt to post a page our formatting did not follow Wikipedia guidelines. We learned from that experience and have not provided correct formatting, citing relevant references.
If you can please reconsider and re-review our submission I would appreciate it. Again, without a Wikipedia page the group's professional appearance is hindered, and is causing confusion with current and past fans of the artist.
Please advise.
Thank you
- Who is the 'we' you keep referring to? You also have not properly disclosed your WP:COI and financial stake with the company and should cease editing until you do so. I would recommend properly following our guidelines, particularly on establish notability. Wikipedia is NOT here for you to advertise your band or to help you get "curated" on Google Play.
Article submission question & similar article
Greetings, in creating my first article for WIKIPEDIA, thank you for the recommendations for editing - I will work and resubmit. As far as references of significance, I can include others, however, when surfing related figures in the area I came across one Wiki entry that I found had no references and seemed less notable to me, however, was published. RE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaine_Stewart - can you give me some guidance as to what this article contains on the subject that the one I submitted does not? Thanks for your input. I hope to continue articles on people in the media and different programs that I find widely known and covered in my area. Again, thanks for your time and help.

Hola, Sulfurboy!
My article just got declined for peacock language. The bot didn't like the use of the word "landmark." There are probably a few other peacocks in there, too.
The subject is a medical doctor who wrote a landmark article on Pneumonias in 1938, which is part of the reason he is notable. A landmark article in medicine is the first time a subject is discussed in a peer-reviewed publication. Reimann's was viral pneumonias, which had not been described prior to 1938.
How should I edit this article so it doesn't get bounced for that particular word?
I'll have a look for other language that might be an issue, but I think that's the one (it gets repeated a couple of times in discussion/reference to that article) that's causing the main issue.
Thanks! (the ever mildly problematic-- Sicklemoon (talk) 23:25, 17 April 2020 (UTC) )
Okay, I deleted the word "renowned" from the first paragraph. Should I resubmit, or wait? What about the possibly redundant usage of the word "Landmark"? Sicklemoon (talk) 23:31, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Clarification on Draft: Subrata Roy (Scientist)
Hi Sulfurboy! Thank you for taking the time to review my draft article Draft:Subrata Roy (Scientist) and providing feedback. I am writing this message for clarification on the reason you provided for article rejection (not written from a neutral point of view). Since the rejection, I've made an effort to remove peacock and flowery language (except where it is part of a formal title, e.g. "Distinguished" in "Distinguished Fellow") and I've provided citations for my claims. Did I address all your concerns for the article, or is there more work to be done? Thank you so much.
Sincerely, Cpor
Draft: Middlesex University Dubai
Hi there, I noticed that my draft was declined due to the lack of reliable references but I am a little confused because, the sources I had given was off the university's courses page and the news paper company Khaleej Times here in Dubai, which has a Wikipedia page. I also noticed that Murdoch University Dubai had passed the review with only one reference from another UAE based news agency like Khaleej Times. If you could tell me what needs to be done or maybe reconsider the decision, it would be really appreciated thank you!. (Delta fiver (talk) (UTC) 08:34, 18 April 2020 (UTC))

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Joey_Gonzalez
Hey, thanks for reviewing the page. A lot of editors have looked at it over the months, but it keeps getting rejected. The subject is well-known and has been written about a lot, so I just don't understand what I'm dong wrong. I've added a wide variety of sources and I've written in a neutral tone. I'm happy to delete areas or re-work things, but I just don't understand. The post is not an ad; it's not "Executive LinkedIn," as one reviewer put it. I feel like it's written thoughtfully and that the subject is worthy of an article. Any advice you have is much appreciated. Thanks. Djb2183 (talk) 13:00, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Can you help me understand how to get this article published? I am trying to get Wiki's posted about local political folks (I enjoy politics). You mentioned that I only used passing references on the subject, but there were 20 articles on this person. Not sure how that is not sufficient?

Tnpoliticofan (talk) 16:05, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
- Tnpoliticofan, As Robert already pointed out in a previous review, the subject does not pass WP:NPOL. Candidates for office are not presumed notable. If and when he wins the election, he would pass that notability standard. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:37, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
Luke Swann page
Hello, you accepted my article Luke Swann earlier this week (very grateful thank you). You mentioned that it's been classified as a 'start-class" article and that is mentioned in the talk section, however after looking I couldn't see where it says that? Only asking as I am going to work hard to improve the article and wanted to keep an eye on its classification. Many thanks for your help. Pegs50 (talk) 17:44, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
- Pegs50, The article would actually be considered stub class due to how short it is. The classification is a preliminary setting. If you want to improve the grading on it, you would need to work with the individual projects that have been tagged with the page. All of that information can be found on the page's talk page. If you look near the top of the page (right above the 'K' in 'Luke'), you'll find the link to the talk page. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:40, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

draft Jason George (writer)
Hello, SulfurBoy. Thank you again for your feedback. I am following up about my article as it relates to Jason George, the television producer and creator of Into the Night. As you’ve suggested, the link to my article is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jason_George_(writer) I’ve revised the page off your other suggestions, including more citations that are not just “passing mentions” and made sure those citations are from “published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.” I am learning, and welcome learning more, if I have again fallen short in my composition. Thank you again. / John/
WP:Bombard - has this been fixed?
Hi, I had a comment on the article I produced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Carl_Reader which had too many citations. I have reduced these significantly as I found a page referencing his work. Is this more suitable now? If so, would you kindly be able to mark the WP Bombard comment as fixed - if not, please suggest or make any more required edits?

Hi Sulfurboy,
Thought it might be useful to talk through the thinking behind my last edit in response to your comments.
In trying to make a list of things that Smart Design has created, my intention was to catalog rather than advertise, but I wasn't sure what to call the cataloging, especially as the catalog is very incomplete (as only products that have been written about and that have had some legacy, are included).
Looking at other people or companies that have created a body of work, I came across the term "selected works". I thought that this might be the most appropriate for Smart Design, implying that it is not the full body of work, and not saying that it is special in any way.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,

NYStrat (talk) 01:56, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- NYStrat, The whole page is still just tagline advertisements for various products. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:02, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I see what you mean. In terms of the "selected work", does it make a difference that the first three products have not been on the market for many years? The reason for the description was to let readers know what the products were, but if just having the names is more appropriate, I will remove the descriptions.
- Please let me know your thoughts.
- Thanks,NYStrat (talk) 02:20, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- NYStrat, I don't think you're getting it. Wikipedia is NOT a place to advertise products for customers to read about. An article about a company should discuss the company and it's history and why it is notable. If discussing one of those products is integral to that story, then it should be incorporated as such with secondary sources discussing how that product is important to that company's history. If you want to advertise your companies products then buy a TV ad. Wikipedia isn't the place for it. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:25, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks again Sulfurboy for your feedback. I will go back and rethink the article from that perspective.
- For what it's worth though, I'd like to be clear that Smart Design does not produce or sell products. The reason for mentioning each of them was not to advertise them, but that (I believe) each hits Wikipedia's notability standards. Who today would want a low-resolution camcorder that requires a USB connection for sharing? Yet in its day it was a big deal.
- Maybe I can be clearer about that. I will try. Thanks again for your (remarkably speedy) help.
- Sulfurboy I've taken your advice to heart and removed any text that was about what the company created, rather than the company itself. I've also re-referenced the article, and added quotes for clarity. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks. NYStrat (talk) 19:27, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Serafim Kalliadasis
Dear Sulfurboy,
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your time and effort with the review process with the biography-article on Prof. Serafim Kalliadasis However, I'd like to have some further advice on how to make this draft a publishable article. I've tried to add as much reference to external sources as I could, e.g. links the official articles pages, links to Imperial College London website and the professional Imperial College's site of Prof. S. Kalliadasis. I was one of his alumni and was trying to publish some short biography purely based on the official website (link). I'll be very happy should you have any comments that really help me to improve the draft and get it published.
Thanks again for your time and effort and, Best regards
- You need to properly format and cite your sources. All you've done is put external links in the body of the article. External links should not be in the body text of the article. They need to be removed or transformed to proper references. This information on how to do all of this is available in the links in the decline message. Specifically, you will need to review WP:REFB and WP:MINREF. Also, since you know the subject you have a WP:COI, as such, you will need to properly declare this. I will add info to your user talk page. Sulfurboy (talk) 08:29, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Sulfurboy, the making of the sandbox was just my 10th edit on en-WP, so I wrote it again in the Namespace. I just made some edits in other WPs, mainly the german one: [1]. Thx for your message. -Big Virgil (talk) 16:28, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Big Virgil, Virgil. In its current form, this article fully fails our notability guidelines for professors WP:PROF and WP:GNG as such I have moved it back to draftspace. I get that you have edited on the German wiki, but please take the time to review our processes (particularly on how drafts should be moved to mainspace) and notability guidelines before creating more articles.

Matthew D. Webster
Hi Sulfurboy,
I read your review on the page for Matthew. I included several top newspaper articles on him, names of journals, there are more that is waiting to be published, however COVID-19 has taken hit from it and several references to his reserchgate page,
But you declined it very quickly?
He is a young academic and is on his way to being a top researcher and this page is to help increase his reach as a researcher, what can be done to get his page accepted, as I am a little but stuck on what can be done
Link to page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Matthew_D._Webster
Thanks
- You seem to be mistaken about the purpose of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not here to help increase the reach of a researcher. My recommendation would be to read the linked policies given in the decline messages, particularly those surrounding notability guidelines. The page does not come close to present references to establish notability which is how it was able to be declined "very quickly". Also, per your comments in this message, it's apparent that you have a conflict of interest. I'm sending applicable information for proper disclosure to your user page. Sulfurboy (talk) 17:03, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments, the whole point of having a page for him is to inform people properly of the research, who he is and what he does. I don't know him I have seen some of his stuff online, I never mentioned I knew the researcher.
So can you tell me that my page got declined because I don't have references on the page that shows who he is? or what he is doing?
Thanks

Quick question about the NAVGTR Award for Lighting/Texturing
Hello Sulfurboy,
You recently moved the Draft:NAVGTR Award for Lighting/Texturing to draftspace. I understand that notability requires secondary sources but I think in this case it warrants an article based on the announcements from the NAVGTR website since they regulate the awards. It constitutes as fact. I am trying to clean up the main NAVGTR Awards page as the awards list grows longer and longer each year. It'll be more manageable. Please let me know what do you think of my arguement? Burair7 (talk) 18:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Burair7, The issue isn't the reliability of the existing sources. The issue is that there are no secondary sources to demonstrate notability. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:21, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Sulfurboy, that's precisely what I mean. I didn't include any of the opinions and self praising just the facts(the category descriptions and the awards' nominees and winners). But thanks for your time I'll try to include secondary independent sources. Burair7 (talk) 18:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Nikolai Udianskyi
Please have a look at Draft:Nikolai Udianskyi. I've cut out a lot of the fluff. Is this better? Thank you. --Perohanych (talk) 20:38, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Sulfurboy!
For Draft:Nikolai Udianskyi there is significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. They are mentioned in "External links" section
Alas, they are in Russian:
- "Удянский Николай — досьє" (in Russian). Левый берег. Retrieved 2020-04-16.
And in Ukrainian:
- Oliyarnyk, Mykola (2020-03-06). "Mykola Udianskyi — Ukrainian IT entrepreneur, social activist and scientist". elita.org.ua (in Ukrainian). Elite. Retrieved 2020-03-28.
Please let me know at least one sentence in the draft article, which appears to read more like an advertisement and is not written from a neutral point of view?
Please let me know any from 14 diffetent references that are not independent or reliable?
I hope that after careful cosideration you will change your mind. --Perohanych (talk) 12:37, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi I have few questions
Hello Sulfurboy,
I wanted to know what is exactly secondary source I did check what it is but.. Online publications, someones blog, or just online magazine ? is notable secondary source? Also What if this secondary source language is different than English?
P.S
You must love chemistry very much to put Sulfur as your Nickname.
Best, Maka
- Sources do not have to be in English. Secondary means any source that isn't made by the subject or someone directly associated with the subject. You also want to make sure sources are reliable. Please see WP:RS.
Draft:Awakening Events
I do believe this company (Draft:Awakening Events) is notable. I added several Billboard references.
Update: I was able to add additional information about venues and cited media coverage on exclusive concert deal with Awakening Events and the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau.
- None of your added sources establish notability. You need to show WP:SIGCOV in multiple independent and reliable sources. Sulfurboy (talk) 13:21, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Draft:Roller picker Submission declined not adequately supported by reliable sources
Hi Sulfurboy,
My submission has been declined twice with the reason of unreliable source, whilst in the reference section there are links to both festo.com and siemens.com. Whom are 2 of the biggest company's in the industry. I don't see why these are unreliable?
Further more, one of the reasons I want to make this page is that there's almost no information about this anywhere online.
I could link some old schoolbooks in the reference section but I highly doubt you will be able to double check those.
Best regards,

Draft review: P J Livesey
Hi Sulfurboy, I hope you are well and enjoying home living in the lockdown.
Thank you for looking at my post so quickly. The P J Livesey Group
Just replying to your message as requested, before making any further changes. I am a member of the company. I work there as a Graphic/Web Designer however I thought I had declared that I had a conflict of interest on my user page (by using the code the Wizard set up asked me to). I am not specifically being paid to set up this page, I was trying to see if I could do it before informing them as I heard it was complicated to do. If this is still classed as being paid for it indirectly, I don’t mind declaring it by adding the code you have given.
Before I do that though, would this mean that it would get another look? After I make some further amends obviously - referring to your other comments - or would I then need to send off to the 'articles for creation' instead? It is my first time on here, so I am sorry if I’m wasting your time. I tried to follow as many articles as I could but there are ALOT of them to read. Thank you again for your time. Kind regards LadyAl (talk) 16:45, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- LadyAl, If you are an employee of the company then you are a paid editor and need to properly disclose per the message on your talk page. This is distinctly different than just editing with a COI. You article is already in the AfC process, it does not need to send off somewhere. The instructions for resubmitting are already outlined in the decline message. In fact there's a brightly colored blue button that says "resubmit". Please take the time to read over our instructions and linked policies. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:52, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Karim Tarek
I posted the facebook page of the article's subject. It is not doxing to post the facebook profile of a subject of an article. Being the subject of a wikipedia article means that if they have a public profile on facebook, it can be linked to their article, or used to discuss that article, and does not fall under the harassment policy. Harassment covers only editors, not subjects of articles. Plz reinstate the link. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 18:49, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- MistyGraceWhite, Absolutely not. It is not a public profile page. You linked to a personal account. The easiest way to tell the difference is if you can add someones profile as a friend, then it's a personal account and not a public one. You also stated that page creator is likely the subject which means you are harassing a potential editor. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:56, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Good Afternoon,
My name is Elory and I was attempting to make a wikipedia page for my employer. The page I am referencing has since been deleted. You denied me because I tried to publish the page under 2 different accounts and you called it vanity self promotion. I am very sorry about this. My goal was simply to make a wikipedia page for him based on his website. I had two different accounts because I had my personal account as well as a work account I created to write this article and this is my first time creating an article here. Do you have any suggestions for how I can proceed and create an wikipedia page for my boss? The information I used was not inteded to be promotional. It was factual information about his education and cuurent practice.
Thank you so much for taking the time to edit my article and for your quick reply. I hope you are staying well!

I have got a response already, thanks.
Re:
Thanks and got it! But the other sources -- Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Associated Press, are okay?
Then the article can be edited to only use those publications, for example? And the non-reliable content can be removed?
Does that help?
