I need to write a biography article about an upcoming artist named iv frayo, it has been rejected twice please how do i go about it. Kingsqw (talk) 07:48, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingsqw: you don't (go about it). Having had this twice rejected (and soon twice deleted) means the topic isn't suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, and you should drop it and find something else to write about. By and large drafts on "upcoming" anything are unlikely to be accepted, because Wikipedia is never the first source to publish content on someone or something; significant coverage must already exist in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources elsewhere. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:56, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, my page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Elcka was deleted completely unnecessarily , the copyright notice has been added to the page which they say the content was copied from. Alot of time & effort went into creating this page & it was totally unnecessary to delete it so quickly. Why didn't they com back with comments. Please kindly reinstate the recently deleted version of this page. The notice has been added to allow the content to be reused & it can be reworded to it's not copied & pasted content:

This submission appears to be taken from https://www.elcka.net/biography.asp. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure.

Your user page is not article space. Even if the text was not a copyright violation, you shouldn't just be posting the contents of the band website here, you should be summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the band, showing how it meets WP:BAND. Please see your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 12:19, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@MJSC123 Copyright violations must be removed as soon as discovered, otherwise we would be continuing to violate copyright. We do not care about time, nor effort. We care about legality. Copyright violation is the theft of another's intellectual property.
I see the band's website is not licenced for onward use. What connection do you have with the band, please, that you can influence its web site? 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:41, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

12:23, 1 August 2023 review of submission by Golf-ulk

At present, I have no reference proving that L.S. got the Distinguished Senior Scientist Award. There is no public list of the recepients of the Award. At the end of the article, I mention that an email by the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung asserts that L.S. got the award in 1988. How could I provide this proof of my claim? Golf-ulk (talk) 12:23, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Golf-ulk: sources (used to verify information contained in Wikipedia articles) must be published; private correspondence and other similar sources not publicly available cannot be used.
How did you become aware of this award – was that not in a published source of some sort? Presumably the Stiftung didn't just e-mail you out of the blue to inform you of this. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:47, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this rejected every time? I have added reliable news source like The_Daily_Star_(Bangladesh) Mushfiq788 (talk) 16:05, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mushfiq788.
I am afraid your article was rejected and cannot be considered further - there is nothing you can do. Oni does not meet the Wikipedia:Notability (people) criteria at this time, and therefore cannot have a Wikipedia article. Remember: Wikipedia is not a place for any type of self-promotion or advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia: not an advertising platform, directory, or a way to promote a subject. Wikipedia is not a social media site like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn.
Hope that helps, Qcne (talk) 17:23, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can this article be changed from a stand-alone article to a section in the existing page for Sam Battle? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_Mum_No_Computer 136.53.96.61 (talk) 17:04, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've been trying to get a non-profit organization to have a page on Wikipedia, they have great initiatives inspiring and promoting women in robotics, I'm not sure why that's not notable enough that its rejected. 2601:647:6300:B1A0:A096:EA0:16FA:4F41 (talk) 19:46, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP editor.
You may not understand what 'notability' means in the Wikipedia context. For an organisation to be deemed notable by our standards, they must pass the strict criteria laid out here: Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). In essence, there needed to be significant coverage of Women in Robotics in independent reliable sources, not connected to the organisation (i.e. not interviews or PR pieces). The coverage should have provided in-depth analysis, interpretation, or discussion. As you can see then, the laudable aims of the organisation do not confer an inherent notability by our standards.
Unfortunately your draft was reviewed four times and you have failed to show that Women in Robotics passes that notability threshold, so your draft article has regrettably been rejected. This means Women in Robotics cannot have an article at this time.
Hope that helps, but let us know if you have any more specific questions. Qcne (talk) 19:58, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have not finished working on the English. page for Adegoke Steve Colson. When I finished the first draft of this new version, I clicked publish. I was tired and figured Id return to work on it more today, but am a bit demoralizedafter reading the rejection. reason. Then I remembered there is a gerkman. wiki. for Adegoke Steve Colson I found the link here https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Colson. Please can someone assist me in understanding why he would not be seen as notable for an English wiki page but is notable for the german. one? Ackee123 (talk) 22:42, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ackee123 It isn't rejection. This is an iterative process audit has been pushed back to you for further work. Your job is to prove him to be notable. Not everyone is. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Thank you for clarifying. I hadn't intended to submit just yet. I understand better. I will continue Ackee123 (talk) 08:28, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ackee123: just to add to the previous answer, each language version of Wikipedia is a separate project with their own policies and guidelines, so it is perfectly possible (and frequently happens) that an article is accepted into one version but not another. The English-language Wikipedia probably has the strictest requirements in what comes to notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:01, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am very grateful for this reply. It has helped to clarify a lot. I know from searching Wikipedia that Adegoke Steve Colson is a respected musician who has influenced many many artists. Especially experimental work that pushes the concepts of jazz .. he adheres to the ideals of the AACM. The lack of articles dedicated to him is because he is mostly composing and teaching, sometimes he records with others, but a lot of life is also dedicated to family. I do think the German Wiki is a very good representation of his presence in music, but I very much want to write a more expansive one for English Wiki. Thank you all for your patience and for taking time to help me understand the. nuances. Ackee123 (talk) 11:11, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
