I am interested in 'Indie' music and the latest article on the website "bandsstartingout^[1]" puts Tunecrank in the top ten, yet there is no Wikipedia article on them. I have heard that editors TOMCAT7 and LASER BRAIN have an interest in music so perhaps they can review my draft. Bzcons44 (talk) 07:28, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bzcons44, Howdy hello! Your draft has been reviewed by a veteran AfC reviewer, who has noted a few issues with your draft. Mainly, you need better sources. Social media is generally not a good source. What you need is coverage by the media. The official guideline is coverage in multiple, reliable, secondary sources, you may read WP:NCORP if you wish to read the nitty gritty of it. If you'd like a more accessible version, WP:42 is a great summary of what it takes to get on Wikipedia. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 08:05, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:MAREY (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello! I am sorry, I am new on wikipedia and I wanted to make a wiki-site for my group MAREY and I forgot to put the references (twice) but now I got them and I hope they're alright? There aren't so many references, but the best I could find to proof that we were on Tour with the singer Jael and that we're under contract with deepdive records. Motor Music (Entertainment) hasn't updated their wensite yet, this is why I didn't included them in our references yet.

Thank you for re-revewing my page!!

I'm afraid your group is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia, probably a case of WP:TOOSOON. Theroadislong (talk) 09:27, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, The page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:European_Research_Consortium_for_Informatics_and_Mathematics was rejected, a reviewer said: This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, ERCIM, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

Consequently, I have updated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:ERCIM How can the two pages be merged, or the rejected one removed so that only https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:ERCIM is reviewed ?

thanks in advance for your help

Tilemi (talk) 12:58, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@RoySmith: Tilemi means declined, not rejected. I don't understand your decline of Draft:European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics because Draft:ERCIM was not at that time also waiting to be reviewed. It doesn't appear to have ever been submitted for review. Would you care to take on straightening things out? --Worldbruce (talk) 14:15, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There were two copies of the draft, under different titles: Draft:European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics and Draft:ERCIM, the later one being an article that had once been in mainspace and was draftified (for unspecified reasons). As for why I declined the one before it was even submitted, see WP:IAR. The "waiting to be reviewed" language is boilerplate that technically doesn't apply here.

I see this same issue was raised several months ago by @Pgk707:, and never followed up on.

I can help sort all this out, but before I get into that, there's something that puzzles me. Tilemi, you say that you updated Draft:ERCIM, but it was actually Pgk707 who made those edits. Are these two different accounts that you're using? Do you also have some relationship to ERCIM? -- RoySmith (talk) 15:07, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Northweek (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi David, I don't see why my article isn't sufficiently notable considering that other brands like Knockaround https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockaround have a wiki page. Could you please tell me how my article can be published?

Mpastorleary (talk) 14:10, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mpastorleary. The only way the draft would be published would be if it met the notability guidelines for companies. Most business do not. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. Knockaround may have satisfied the guidelines as they stood when the article was created in 2011, but the guidelines are significantly stricter now. Knockaround cites a large number of sources, but at first glance they're of extremely low quality, so perhaps it should be deleted. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:52, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:ASTRO Gaming (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

ASTRO Gaming is one of Logitech's seven brands, and we would really appreciate help getting a Wikipedia article published. An article exists for ASTRO Studios^[1] and references ASTRO Gaming. We'd love to expand on the history of the company and its products. Please advise. {{Connected contributor (paid)| User1 = Stout.ashlynn | U1-employer = Logitech | U1-client = ASTRO Gaming | U1-EH = yes}} Stout.ashlynn (talk) 18:23, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stout.ashlynn, This item is not notable enough for a standalone article, as it fails the requirements of WP:NORG. There is just not enough reliable and independent coverage of the company. Any useful content might do better to be expanded on the ASTRO Studios page. As is, the Astro studios and Logitech pages are both quite poor. I recommend you turn your efforts to suggesting changes on the talk pages of those articles. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 07:39, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
