editHi,
I would like to check what type of sources will be counted as notable sources? My references are all taken from the state media's publications and yet it cannot be accepted. Thanks.

- Some ideas on the sort of sources that are best for proving notability can be found at Wikipedia:VRS. In more detail at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. One thing to note is that press releases or material based on press releases, as some of your existing sources seem to be, are not useable in proving the notability of a topic.

editHi,
I have posted an article regarding my company and work.
We are company name virtualinfocom which deals in gaming animation and mobile apps and also we provide training to students on many subjects.
You may check our websites:
www.virtualinfocom.com www.virtualinfocom.org www.virtualinfocom.in www.virtualinfocom.net www.virtualinfocom.co.in wwww.jaipuranimation.com
But the article was declined .
Can you suggest me how to create the page for the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.251.213.164 (talk) 12:09, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Your first step should be to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 13:03, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
I am having trouble understanding why my article has been rejected for notability. Seven out of eleven sources are secondary sources from trusted industry outlets, so there is a variety of reliable sources of information. The rejection feedback also mentions that there should be clear evidence as to why this article is worthy of inclusion in the encyclopedia, and in addition to the various secondary sources referenced, the company's direct and indirect competitors have Wikipedia pages as well - so firms in this industry have already been deemed worthy for inclusion.

- The industry may be notable, but companies must be notable in and of themselves to be included in Wikipedia. (See WP:ORGIN for more information.) Anon126 (talk - contribs) 20:32, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi All,
I simply cannot figure out how to create a new article. I currently have one pending for review, but have others I'd like to create.
Any direction would be appreciated.

- You can create a new article by going to User:Ehmeejay/Your new article name and selecting the option to create the page. You can add
{{subst:submit}}to the top when you're ready to submit it for review. If you're not ready, you can add{{subst:AFC draft}}to the top, which will give you a button to submit it later. Anon126 (talk - contribs) 20:24, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
Wye wasn't my article puplished? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.214.15.132 (talk) 23:55, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- That submission was declined for the reasons given in the pink box at the top of that page. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 10:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
