Request on 10:50:35, 30 September 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Dibyojyoti RC


Please review the article of Draft:Manoj Verma (IPS) and accept or reject is simply depends on the reviewers. Please don't consider this article as advertisement, publicity or promoting cases. For identification and motivational purposes is created. Please check it and and left me a message on my talk page.

Dibyojyoti RC, I have left a comment on the draft. Note, please, that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for motivation. Fiddle Faddle 12:05, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Dibyojyoti RC I have also noted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manoj Kumar Verma. This new draft must be substantially different from the deleted version for it to be accepted. Otherwise it will be subject to speedy deletion as a re-creation of deleted material that has been deleted though a discussion Fiddle Faddle 12:40, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Are you want to delete this article considering a local Police Commissioner , non-notable and promoting the wikipedia then you may do so. Can you made this article by yourself. Don't think this as a threat but as a suggestion to check it so I think I should be blocked from Wikipedia. Dibyojyoti RC (talk) 16:37, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dibyojyoti RC, Quite simply:
  • We want good quality articles.
  • If it has been deleted previously then you need to show substantial difference between thsi and the previous article
  • No-one has spoken about blocking

We want our companies, employees and potential acquisitions to be able to get information about our organisation and the structure. Since it is a complex organisational structure, we want a wikipedia site to function as a source of information. Axinteramanda (talk) 13:50, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Axinteramanda you can install Wikimedia software on your corporate server to create a wiki for your internal purposes. See https://www.mediawiki.org for further information. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:58, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Installing MediaWiki would also be a lot better for your purposes because you will not be able to control the content of a Wikipedia article. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Hasteur Hasteur Ha-- oh.... 03:28, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please I mistakenly published a blank page in the sandbox which was declined on 11th June 2020. The actual Artcle was resubmitted on 22nd August, 2020. Since then I have not been mailed concerning the Citation on Professor Nduka Nnamdi Ekere. I am looking forward to the inclusion of this particular article in my sandbox.I have other artcles waiting to be published as soon as this is accepted. Thank you.

  • @Heavelye: Please look at your sandbox with my eyes. I see what looks like an article deep in there, but it is an unreadable page. Please look carefully at formatting.

20:25:37, 1 October 2020 review of draft by EldenSelections


I work for Elden Selections and we want to create a wikipedia page for our company. I took the content off of our website and cited it and it was rejected. I was wondering if wikipedia can just create us a page. If Elden Selections has to do it, can we use any of the content off of our website? Do I just have to source every sentence? EldenSelections (talk) 20:25, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

EldenSelections, as I have told you on my talk page, We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make any draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
Reading the primary sources element will help you, as will the selfpub element
Writing an article is the absolute hardest thing to attempt on Wikipedia. Writing a neutral article about your employer is even harder. Generally you will find that Wikipedia editors, almost all of whom are volunteers, will not do as a volunteer something you are being paid to do by your corporation.
I have no idea why any corporation would even want a Wikipedia article about it. It is not 'your page' (see WP:OWN) and you have no control of any description over it. It is a true two edged sword Fiddle Faddle 21:26, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning,

apparently my contribution cannot be published because there are not many references. However, there are no sources that I could indicate. The information in the article is first-hand, i.e. the person or institute has given it to me.

So what can I do to make sure that the article is published anyway?

I thank you in advance.

Article got denied when it clearly meets the requirements.

Here's wikipedia's Notability requirements for music:

- Criteria for musicians and ensembles 2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.

Suitable charts A chart is normally considered suitable for inclusion if it meets both of the following characteristics:

It is published by a recognized reliable source. This includes any IFPI affiliate, Billboard magazine, or any organization with the support of Nielsen SoundScan.

DFD Music has charted on BILLBOARD multiple times. The sources are linked in the article.

They have always worked with major labels and signed artists. Another notability requirement which is linked.

Sedimentary7 Please note that each draft or article is judged on its own merits, and that the existence of other similar articles does not mean yours can exist too. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us.
For this artist to merit an article, you must show with significant coverage in independent reliable sources that they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable artist.

Mustafa Divinatory, at a brief glance, it looks like it look WP:PROMOTION. If you can provide facts backed up my sources that present a neutral point of view it will clear up that issue. I am also worried about WP:NOTABILITY as a quick search for it in the news does not yield anything other than job listings and the official website.

I have had lots of feedback telling me why my page has been rejected but none of them reference my comments on my talk page. its a page about a small topic (a now defunct field hockey club) so will have limited external references but does this mean that Wikipedia is only for large topics or organisations? I have seen (and referenced in my talk page) other pages with fewer links.

I was connected with the club (who else would be bothered enough to write about it?) but don't understand why that makes the entry invalid.

I would really like to get my page published and would be grateful for any advice.

Geoffstokes, Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. Fiddle Faddle 13:52, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that like most of us, you are not notable in Wikipedia terms, so we cannot have an article about you, your draft had zero acceptable reliable independent sources and the content was in any case inappropriate, sorry to disappoint you. Try social media. Theroadislong (talk) 21:13, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Suraj0791, there is nothing about this person to suggest that he passes WP:GNG, so it has been rejected. I am using the telepathy interface 1.09.3b to examine your intent in posting with no actual question asked Fiddle Faddle 21:14, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

22:46:04, 4 October 2020 review of submission by Astro1995


Hi, I would like to know why this page was considered not notable as I have added sources to prove that the subject is notable, I have seen multiple pages on wikipedia that very little references and are up and live on the site. please explain, if you still believe my page should be deleted, then go ahead, but I would like an explanation. Thank you

Astro1995 (talk) 22:46, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]


the page represents an actual notable artist, and I have included a few references to prove so. I, before proceeding with the creation of the article, have done some research and noticed that multiple people are on wikipedia with very little references and are still up on the site or have been approved. So please explain why this is any different. I can provide links of these other wikipedia articles. Thank You

Astro1995 (talk) 22:59, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Astro1995 Please see other stuff exists. Other poor articles existing does not automatically mean yours can too. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us. This is why each article is judged on its own merits. Feel free to point out these other articles so they can be addressed, we can use the help.
Your draft was only sourced to sources related to the person; Wikipedia articles should summarize only what independent reliable sources completely unconnected with the subject have chosen on their own to say about it, with significant coverage, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Your draft also had much promotional language("a passion for acting", which is impossible to independently verify) which is inappropriate for an encyclopedia article.

Hello, I have submitted several edits of the AAAtrade page and I am not sure which content I need to remove to ensure that the page is not considered promotional. If you could point out what needs to be removed I would greatly appreciate it. Kind Regards Baolovesmochi (talk) 07:30, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Baolovesmochi Wikipedia is not for merely telling about a subject. Your draft merely tells about the company, and is only sourced to things confirming the specific factual information in the article. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself, only in what others completely unaffiliated with the organization choose to say about it. "Significant coverage" does not include press releases, the company website, staff interviews, announcements of routine business transactions, brief mentions, or other primary sources. In essence, you need to forget everything you know about your organization and only write based on the content of independent sources with significant coverage. If no such sources exist, your company will not merit an article at this time. Not every company does, even within the same field. Please see Your First Article for more information.

08:46:51, 5 October 2020 review of draft by Phohammer


Hey, we at the Institute for Social ecology were wondering if we could get some tips or pointers as to how we could improve the article since it seems fairly devoid of "peacock terms" & was written by one of Bookchin's editors in a style similar to that used for other political entries. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Phohammer (talk) 08:46, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Phohammer Please note that only a single person should have access to and be operating your account. You will also need to review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on formal disclosures you may be required to make. Most of what was written seems to be original research which is not permitted on Wikipedia. A Wikipedia article should only be summarizing what independent reliable sources state about the topic, and should not be drawing conclusions. 331dot (talk) 08:54, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

17:16:36, 5 October 2020 review of submission by Hallieedit

Hi, I edited this page and am requesting a re-review. The reason it was rejected was the it does not appear to be notable. The user left the note "The article is about a temporary video store which appears to be no longer open. At the time it received some coverage in blogs and independent media, but no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. It does not appear to be notable." However, from this note, it would appear that the user did not even read the page.. The video store was a temporary exhibition, yes, but it makes up maybe 5% of the page's total content. e-flux is not a "temporary video store"; it is an arts institution with a robust platform and a significant spot in the contemporary art world. I am requesting a re-review on the basis that the rejection was unfounded. I've spent the past 6 months editing this page after it initially was taken down because a user flagged it as an advertisement. Since then, I have changed approximate 75% of the wording of the initial page. My investment in this page is that I am a student who has relied on e-flux sources for many years, and I want this wikipedia resource to be available to other people within the arts community. Thanks. Hallieedit (talk) 17:16, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have created draft article, pending review. Need help with template selection. This page is about a kind of certification examination done in the United states to be licensed as a medical coder/Clinical Coder and want to know if I need to use any specific template type in it.

Jamesinhere (talk) 21:22, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jamesinhere, generally these things take care of themselves once an article is accepted because other editors jump in. in the search box start typing Template:infobox and see what it brings up as suggested templates. I haven't checked, but there is likely to be a useful one there Fiddle Faddle 22:38, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting a re review because the earlier user had added many a non essential and incorrect citations due to which the review got cancelled. I desired to start it fresh from scratch and have given many notable links to the person. Will be highly obliged if it is re reviewed. Rav Ktoch (talk) 13:08, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rav Ktoch, I'm afraid the gentleman as written fails WP:GNG and the references do nothing whatsoever to aid your case.
For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 13:21, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

00:38:55, 7 October 2020 review of draft by Jrt1234


Hi and thanks in advance for your help. I have been working on a page for Johnny Rotella, the musician and songwriter. I added citations as requested, however when I tried to submit the page for review with tags (songs, composer, biography), I was unable to enter a draft title. I discovered there seems to be a page already approved about Johnny Rotella on the German Wikipedia, so I'm not sure if I should be trying to update there (I'm not fluent in German), or if it makes sense for me to continue creating the new page.
