edit09:54:24, 16 March 2018 review of submission by 73.199.114.145
editWhy is My Draft Declined? Because I Created it and it's disappointing that i have declined. 73.199.114.145 (talk) 09:54, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
- DamienDaEsketit - Damien - You need to have a look at the comments the reviewers left. They've given clear guidance. Your draft was declined because it doesn't have any sources. Sourcing is essential for Wikipedia articles - it shows Notability and lets readers check the content. Without them, the draft will just keep getting rejected. Look at the Eminem article. It's got over 300 sources. You don't need that many but you do need some. KJP1 (talk) 10:17, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
My draft has been declined as I need to add more references to back up statements, however I am unsure which statements exactly need to be supported with citations. Please could somebody help me to identify them? I asked the reviewer but haven't heard back from them.

- Every statement needs to be supported by citations, SLSSLee. A core policy of Wikipedia is that all our information needs to be verifiable. Anything not referenced is liable to be removed.
- However, the larger problem is that you seem to be writing a promotional piece on the company you work for. Your draft is unlikely to be accepted on that basis. Wikipedia is supposed to be a neutral and independent encyclopaedia, not the yellow pages. – Joe (talk) 11:17, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
- Two other quick points, in support of the above comments. None of your sources are inline. so it's impossible to tell what content they are supposed to support. When for example, you say "In 2007, SLS became the distributor for BD Bioscience and company turnover reached £16m", you need to immediately follow that with a reference that supports the claim. Secondly, you've a load of embedded links to external sites. We don't use these, except in an External links section at the end of an article. But, as the reviewer above says, your biggest issue is that you're writing a promotional draft about your company. That's a clear Conflict of interest, and you should declare it, which you don't seem to have done, and read up on our guidance about editing with a conflict. KJP1 (talk) 12:01, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Im getting error on top This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.
She has done in many movies have articles wat is the reason for deletion kindly help me
Saveydude (talk) 16:12, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Saveydude: this page is for articles in Draft form, and yours is a published article (that maybe should have stayed a Draft until it was more improved). The best defense to the proposed deletion is to add more sources to the article from serious newspapers (preferably English, but other languages are also allowed).

I submitted the McKeel Hagerty draft earlier today and there were some errors with sourcing. An editor declined the draft and asked me to fix the errors. I fixed the errors and published the changes. Can you verify that the draft of this article with my updates has been resubmitted to the editor queue? Thanks! Justin Goldsborough (talk) 19:54, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

- @Justin Goldsborough: you are indeed in the queue, per the Yellow box on your article. While you are waiting for review, one good step for tidiness is to use the guidance at WP:REFNAME to avoid repetition in the footnotes when you use the exact same source several times. Refname will take, say the identical footnotes "#7" and "#10" and make them "#7a,b" to keep things tidier. Not mandatory, just looks more professional and you have time since we're backlogged.

Due to the reasons mentioned in my previous query (15 March), I would like to know if its possible to have a new reviewer. I believe that the person who has reviewed my submission the last two times has been unnecessarily rude in manner and will likely decline the page whatever amendments are made.
