00:21:43, 8 May 2020 review of draft by 69.112.27.127 edit

I don't understand why the article for Artist, Brian Testa is denied? This is the first of many articles AA2020 is publishing, what can we correct for future article publications?

69.112.27.127 (talk) 00:21, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is AA2020? Are you a PR company? Who is the we in that sentence? You need to properly disclose your connection to the subject. Also, the subject fully fails WP:NARTIST and WP:GNG. You have shown zero WP:SIGCOV of the subject and the group exhibitions they have been a part of are non-notable and not compelling. Sulfurboy (talk) 03:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

05:53:23, 8 May 2020 review of submission by Alibeeeeeee edit

I've updated the submission with reputable citations from The West Australian newspaper, Channel 9 News, WA Today, and other additional independent articles but have still had a rejection. Could you please give some examples of how this could be improved?

08:01:51, 8 May 2020 review of submission by Akshatvg edit


This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it just gives a brief overview about a person. Right now the article Akshat Gupta redirects to a TV show which is not really what a user wants. You can check out by Google Searching "Akshat Gupta" and the link https://www.akshatvg.com comes up on the first page. This Wikipedia page was supposed to give details about the same person. If there are any specific changes or additions or deletions you would like me to do, please let me know.

Akshatvg (talk) 08:01, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Akshatvg "Giving a brief overview about a person" is considered promotional on Wikipedia. A Wikipedia article should not just tell about a person, it should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about a person, if they meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person. Please see Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 09:38, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Help edit

Please help me to complete Draft:Amit Bhadana (yutuber) on Wikipedia. If you all support then this work will become easy. I need your help Please help me Mr. Bikaneri (talk) 08:19, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Bikaneri "YouTubers" rarely meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person and also do not usually have significant coverage in independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 09:38, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

08:46:12, 8 May 2020 review of submission by Ugla'a edit

Hello, I have totally reworked the article. I only used reliable sources, and ensured that the article was written in a neutral point of view. Ugla'a (talk) 08:46, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm withdrawing this one !

Request on 08:52:08, 8 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by J.mins edit


I tried to write in English as it is in the Korean version of Wikipedia and register with the English version of Wikipedia, but I was rejected. The reason for the rejection is that they copied the content on the homepage. However, actually I am the homepage manager, the purpose is to register the contents of the homepage on Wikipedia so that many people can see it. The Korean version is registered, so please let me know why it is rejected to write it in English and register it on the English version of Wikipedia.

J.mins (talk) 08:52, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@J.mins: The reason for rejection was not "that they copied the content on the homepage" (at least not on enwiki, and I'm unable to speak korean). The reason for rejection was that the current draft has zero reliable sources and as such doesn't demonstrate Notability of the subject. The bigger issiue sems to be that the draft was indeed copy & pasted from the homepage. Since I'm not quite sure if this would be a straightforward CSD nomination I only have tagged it with a box. Since you claim to be the homepage manager, you might have a look at donating copyrighted material to Wikipedia, howewer, because of the Notability issiue, this step will probbably be pointless. Further, you want to have a look at WP:COI and WP:PAID and make the required disclosures. Victor Schmidt (talk) 14:05, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Upon further consideration I have decided to make a CSD nomination. If you are reading this and CSD got declined, consider sending it to MfD. Victor Schmidt (talk) 14:09, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

17:01:51, 8 May 2020 review of draft by 184.57.172.89 edit


Trying to determine why this keeps being declined when they are many Gaelic Football club pages that have also been published without issue. For example; Chicago Patriots Gaelic Football Club - Wikipedia. How do we ensure that there is equity in terms of how pages are reviewed?

184.57.172.89 (talk) 17:01, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As noted, a subject must have significant coverage in independent reliable sources in order to merit an article. Other similar subjects meriting articles is irrelevant, see other stuff exists. This is volunteer project, where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. 331dot (talk) 17:28, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:31:58, 8 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by SCopeland97 edit


My draft article was rejected because the reviewer said it was "entirely an advertisement" but the article follows the same format as articles about similar companies that have been published so I do not understand why it was rejected. I was not given any actionable feedback.SCopeland97 (talk) 17:31, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SCopeland97 (talk) 17:31, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of advertising include "More than 60% of banks world-wide have deployed Amulet Hotkey solutions" and "These partners are leading manufacturers". Theroadislong (talk) 17:34, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Theroadislong How do I resubmit the draft after fixing those lines? Or do I have to just create a new one? SCopeland97 (talk) 19:08, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
SCopeland97 They were just examples of advertising there is far more, it requires an entire re-write in neutral tone another example = "Over the years, Amulet Hotkey has created partnerships with a variety of technology companies to ensure the successful utilization of its products and solutions.' which is just blatant advertising and totally unsuitable for an encyclopedia article.

23:49:00, 8 May 2020 review of submission by TalkativeIndividual130 edit

I request help because I want to publish the Sídlisko II article and I don't know what to do. It seems like people don't "wanna see me winning" or something, because there is literally so many articles that are "worse" or just less unsourced than Sídlisko II and they're still up on Wikipedia. Please help. TalkativeIndividual130 (talk) 23:49, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TalkativeIndividual130, Be careful about comparing your article to existing ones. Many of the articles on Wikipedia were created before we began the rigorous Article for Creation process. That means a lot of ...honestly junk articles were created, and many of them have slipped through the cracks. We are in the process of finding those and fixing them. Just because another article is bad does not mean yours can be bad. You can read more about the logical fallacies involved in article comparison at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
The reason your article was rejected and then decline was that it was lacking reliable sources to verify its notability. Of the four sources, one is a dictionary definition of concrete, and another is a list of street names. Those are not sources that establish the notability of the subject. If you could provide three quality sources that discussed this housing development, we might be able to write about it. But otherwise, it is not notable nor suitable for inclusion.

Yeah alright. And what's gonna happened with the draft after time? Is it gonna stay a draft forever or will it get deleted? TalkativeIndividual130 (talk) 12:39, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@TalkativeIndividual130: Drafts that haven't been edited for six months are routinely deleted. As the sole author, you can speed the process along by requesting speedy deletion. To do so, add {{db-self}} to the top of the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:09, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
