00:55:05, 23 September 2022 review of draft by Addingcontentagain

edit


I'm trying the enter details about a research conference, following the template for similar conferences, e.g. ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency. I'm using the same type of sources that are used for articles about other conference (see the one linked above), but my new entry gets rejected claiming my sources aren't independent enough.

It seems that the article I'm trying to add is getting inconsistent rejections when compared to other articles about similar events.

It would be helpful to know what this inconsistency is due to, and what I need to do in order to get my entry accepted.

@Addingcontentagain: you shouldn't compare your draft to other articles which may exist out there; see OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. (And thank you for flagging up the ACM article, I have tagged it accordingly.)
We assess notability according to the relevant guidelines, in this case the general WP:GNG one. That requires significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. Your draft cites only primary sources, and fairly close ones (close to the subject, that is) at that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:01, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Is every conference that takes place considered notable? That's a lot of articles. David10244 (talk) 02:04, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Taras1818 You don't ask a question, but I've looked at your draft and declined it. I will also propose it for deletion, because of the copyvios in it. Should it survive that, and you plan on resubmitting it, I would suggest that you first comprehensively address the reasons why this has been declined several times, because I don't think this will otherwise be given many more opportunities. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:37, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Taras1818 The draft was deleted as a copyright infringement. 71.228.112.175 (talk) 08:14, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

please some one publish this page Chiranthchirusira (talk) 06:37, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Chiranthchirusira: this draft has been rejected and will not be reviewed again, let alone published. I will nominate it for deletion, however. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:44, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This content belongs to Essae-Teraoka Pvt. Ltd. The content on this page is valid, real and very much important for the visibility and the credibility of the organization Essae-Teraoka Pvt. Ltd. Krishna essase (talk) 06:41, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Krishna essase: you don't ask a question, but suffice to say this draft has been rejected, and speedy deletion has been requested. The draft is purely promotional, referenced only with the company's own website, with no indication of notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:48, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Krishna essase Unfortunately, Wikipedia doesn't exist for the visibility and credibility of organizations. It exists for the education and knowledge of its readers. Articles must be on notable subjects, with proper referencing to independent, reliable sources. Hope this helps. David10244 (talk) 02:07, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this article has been updated but I cannot see how to actually publish it.

At the original time of rejection in 2020, this person was not elected. The person in question has now become an elected official with relevance to the general public, so it should warrant inclusion.

I believe it does satisfy the criteria for notability, but would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Danny895 (talk) 07:36, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Danny895: to what has he been elected? Local government, which a quick glance suggests this refers to, does not qualify for automatic notability per WP:NPOL. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:41, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Danny895 "Holme Valley North Ward"?? What continent, country, state, county, community, canton, shire, parish, etc. is this in? David10244 (talk) 02:10, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

It's been more than 2 months since I sent you my modified version and I still haven't heard back.

Is there anything delaying this check?

FYI, this page was created on Wikipedia France and there was no problem.

Thank you for your return.

Best regards. Dundee7476 (talk) 07:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dundee7476: there was no delay, it was just in the pool awaiting review. I have now declined it, for lack of inline referencing (several paragraphs unsupported), and added some links to advice on referencing.
The fact that this was accepted to the French-language Wikipedia is neither here nor there, as every language version is their own project with their own rules and requirements as to notability, referencing, etc. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:55, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing It looks like it has been submitted again. David10244 (talk) 02:11, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Please help us understand better why our recent request was rejected.

We included similar references to other companies active in our industry who have pages on Wikipedia (such as Elastic Path and commercetools).

Any detailed guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Johnessone (talk) 13:59, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Johnessone: this was rejected, because there is no indication that the subject is notable. The content mainly just states that this business exists, without giving any real reason why they should be included in a global encyclopaedia. The sources cited are mostly, if not only, routine business reporting.
You should not model your article on any existing ones, as they may suffer from problems that you don't want to replicate. You should instead familiarise yourself with the relevant guidelines for article creation, in this case WP:COMPANY / WP:ORGCRIT, and ensure that your content and referencing comply with those. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:23, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Johnessone (talk) 08:10, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

18:10:17, 23 September 2022 review of draft by LubnaAmin

edit


I do not understand why my work which is written in my own words is considered a violation of copyrights, I have linked any sources I have used however, the editing box on Wikipedia is not an easy tool to use. I wish you could highlight which areas that needs fixing. I want to become a part of Wikipedia's editing team, so I will only understand if you explain to me.

Please note, I had another account a few years ago and I did not face this issue.

LubnaAmin (talk) 18:10, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

LubnaAmin If you wrote something on another website, it is subject to that websites copyright and you can't simply copy it to here, you must properly donate it, please see WP:DCP. 331dot (talk) 18:22, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There isn't a specific "editing team", you are an "editor" merely through your participation. 331dot (talk) 18:23, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
