Hello Wikipedia,

I am wondering why my page about the CEO of Wikipedia is being declined. Please kindly let me know what I can do to get this page live, and why this page has been stated as being contradictory to the purpose of Wikipedia?

Thanks very much Jjwap00 (talk) 08:50, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jjwap00. The sources the draft cites are ones that don't mention McIvor, are press releases from organizations he worked for (and thus not independent), or merely quote him briefly. Sources of those types do nothing to demonstrate notability (suitability for inclusion in Wikipedia). Wikipedia may not be used for advertising. Most likely, the reviewer saw the topic as purely promotional, but if you have a question about what was in the mind of a particular editor you should really talk to that person. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:30, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Review submission delays. Hello, I'm new at Wikipedia and I submitted a page of a film Angel of the North for a review, about a month ago. I would like to ask if this is an ordinary delay or if I did something incorrectly (as I was given a prompter response and a kind assistance from other Wiki-users and admin, previously). Thank you for your answer. George Klaudiny (talk) 16:18, 26 April 2019 (UTC)George Klaudiny George Klaudiny (talk) 16:18, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi George Klaudiny. The draft is in the group of submissions that have been waiting 3-4 weeks. The current backlog is 8+ weeks. You may continue improving the draft while you wait, or check out Wikipedia:Community portal for millions of other ways to help improve the encyclopedia. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:31, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
