Slasher2point1 (talk) 02:13, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I am trying to add an Infobox to the Tommy Nelson (actor) page after uploading a picture of him. I put all of the correct information in, but it will not allow me to create the Infobox. I was hoping someone could help fix this.

Also, there is a note saying I need "additional citations for verifications" because I listed imdb.com as the reference for his birthday. Someone commented saying that imdb was unreliable despite the information being correct and in my personal studies, I have found many other pages for actors use this reference and do not have the note. I would like to get this note removed, so could someone either remove it for me or recommend another website I could use for a citation to ensure this page meets the necessary standards? Thank you.

Sincerely, Slasher2point1

Hi Slasher2point1. I fixed the formatting of the infobox for you. IMDb, being user-generated, is not a reliable source, with a couple narrow exceptions that do not apply in this case. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, Wikipedia:Citing IMDb, and Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites. If many other articles are misusing IMDb, they should be fixed. There is a "needs additional citations for verification" tag on Tommy Nelson (actor) for many more reasons than the date of birth and IMDb. There are many other statements in the article that do not cite a source. Add sources for them, or remove the statements. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:27, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Acekard, Youtube notability (of which you can read more about at WP:NYOUTUBE) is a tricky thing. Even channels with a million subs might not get articles. Mainly, we need news coverage of the channels. There seems to be little about their actual channel that is interesting/notable enough for Wikipedia. The fact that they are conservative does not make them more or less notable. A lot of people on YouTube are conservative. A lot aren't. In essence, you have failed to show how they are deserving of an article, which is why it has been rejected. Unless you can find many more good sources, I recommend you focus your efforts elsewhere. I know having a draft rejected doesn't feel good, but creating articles from scratch is quite hard. In the future, you may wish to ask for advice (either here, or at the Teahouse) about whether a particular subject may be notable. That will keep you from spending time on something that isn't actually notable. Smooth sailing, Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 09:10, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for working so quickly on this. I have been following this young man in his music for a while. He has made a huge impact in the music industry as well as the make a wish foundation. Please help me recognize what he has done by accepting his article. If not please let me know what I can add to have the article accepted and if I can re-submit. Thanks so much...

Themusicscholar101, It doesn't actually appear that he has made a huge impact in the music industry. Where are the sources that say that? How has a 16 year old made a huge impact in music without even releasing a charting song or album? This seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON. This kid seems destined for greatness, but he just ain't famous yet. In a few years, when he has done more, then he might be notable enough for an article. But at this time, hes just another kid.

Johhnyfrankie13, We have no article about the Millennium award, so no reason to have a template for it. As is, see the already extant Template:Billboard Music Award for Millennium Award. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 20:32, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The draft has no sources and is written like an advertisement. It also seems to be about an average person, thus no special reason for them to have a Wikipedia page. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 08:57, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday, the article could easily be found out on Google. People are unable to find out article "Mahatma Gandhi Central University protest" from today. Why is this happening ? Could you please help me out ? Waiting for your reply.

Hi Rohitmishra111. The article is Mahatma Gandhi Central University protest. The behaviour of third-party search engines, such as Google, is outside our control here at Articles for Creation. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:40, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have made all the suggested revisions -- including various references/sources and also making the content more factual. As one of the largest annual Veg festivals in the world -- attracting over 50K people every year -- and including the support of well-known authors, researchers, and civic leaders, I do believe this is a noteworthy page. Thank you...

Jennagold2019, It is written like an advertisement, not like the factual and neutral content of an encyclopedia. It would need to be entirely re-written to comply with our standards. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 20:18, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abdel fattah yusif, If you know this person, that means you have a conflict of interest, which must be declared. However, this person seems to be an average person like you or I. That means they are not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. Only those who have been covered in multiple reliable and independent sources can be on Wikipedia. Furthermore, please stop creating additional drafts under different names. They will keep being deleted, and you risk being blocked from editing.

I traveled to Sharon Wisconsin this past July and interviewed Martha Hayden. I would like to know how to properly cite that interview in this article.

MaryKLynch (talk) 20:50, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unless your interview was published by a reliable source you cannot use it. Theroadislong (talk) 21:02, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if you have written the interview, it's probably not a good idea for you to cite it regardless. Please see our policy on conflict of interest Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:49, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
