Latest comment: 15 days ago8 comments2 people in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Qcne was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please write to comply with WP:NPOV

Hello. Thanks for the review. I summarized the information provided by credible and independent secondary sources. It is my understanding that the article in question adheres to Wikipedia's notability standards and that the sources utilized are of a reliable and trustworthy nature. I genuinely appreciate your support in this matter. I anticipate a re-review of my draft. Allisay (talk) 08:56, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Allisay, I didn't decline it for notability reasons, I declined it as it was written like an advert and doesn't comply to our WP:NPOV policy. Please re-write and re-submit. Qcne (talk) 10:30, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

The article was not written as an advertisement. It follows every other type of political content. If I may ask, why did you think: it was written as an advertisement? Allisay (talk) 13:01, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Three promotional sentences:

- "to the renowned Olofiere Family"

- "where he bagged a Bachelor of Law Degree"

- "Demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit"

Source #1 sharafadeenalli.com source is obviously not independent and I am not clear what it is citing? His name? I would use it for his date of birth instead.

I don't understand what source #3 is for.

Source #4 and #6 are terrible sources, just total promotion. Qcne (talk) 13:10, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

All corrections have been made. Kindly check again. Thanks. Allisay (talk) 16:10, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

We still need citations (from independent, reliable sources) for every piece of information. Please read WP:BLP. Qcne (talk) 19:46, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
