I don't know what to add. I'm creating a article about may self Rogen27 (talk) 02:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to add, this isn't a social media site. It is an encyclopedia on notable topics. The draft has been rejected and will not be considered further.McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 02:25, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

06:12, 26 October 2023 review of submission by Danceguru1212

edit

My request for submission has been rejected twice. I have made several changes to improve my chances of acceptance, some of which are based on feedback from the help desk. Is there a limit on the number of times an article is rejected after which it gets declined? Can anyone help me with what else I need to change in the article to improve my chances of acceptance? Danceguru1212 (talk) 06:12, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Danceguru1212 You must disclose your connection to this person, please see WP:COI and WP:PAID. There is not a specific limit on the number of times a draft may be resubmitted, as long as you are showing progress and the person seems to be notable. If you don't show progress, though, your draft nay be rejected. 331dot (talk) 11:06, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I want to post one article on my company TAKO. I am a TAKO's permanent staff. Would you please accept my writing that is in draft in my sandbox? please? Muntasirahmmed (talk) 06:27, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Muntasirahmmed. Absolutely not. Your draft was completely inappropriate for Wikipedia and I have rejected it, so it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not a vehicle to advertise or spam your company. Use LinkedIn or Facebook for that.
You also failed to make a paid editing disclosure which is a breach of the Wikimedia Terms of Use. If you are to try and edit again in topics involved with your company, you must make this disclosure. Follow the tutorial at WP:PAID. If you do not make this disclosure you will be blocked from editing.
I also notice you added copyrighted material from your company to the draft. This is prohibited. Qcne (talk) 06:55, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Muntasirahmmed You must make the paid editing disclosure, a Terms of Use requirement and mandatory. You should also read conflict of interest.
Your sandbox(which I have fixed the link to go to) was deleted as blatant promotion and its content was wholly inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves. A Wikipedia article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the topic; company representatives rarely succeed in doing as Wikipedia requires. 331dot (talk) 08:35, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zarakhanmahi757 I removed the tags you placed here, which are for the draft talk page. You don't ask a quesiton, but your draft was rejected and will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 08:28, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

08:15, 26 October 2023 review of submission by Logi0256

edit

Hello, after several attempts to create my article, it has been rejected several times. I've being doing the pertinent changes asked in order to respect wikipedia's policy. The content is informative and not as an advertisement. I would like to ask for your help so I can achieve the publication of my article. Thank you in advance. Logi0256 (talk) 08:15, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Logi0256 First, if you are associated with this agency, that must be declared, please see WP:COI and WP:PAID.
Your draft was declined several times before being rejected- there is a distinction between "declined"(which means a draft may be resubmitted) and "rejected"(which means a draft may not be resubmitted). Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about an organization and what it does, especially in the format you chose, which is like an About page on the organization website. A Wikipedia article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Your draft did not do this, so it was correctly rejected and will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 08:31, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Please i would like to ask for assistance to correct the mistakes in my article to pass the review and the article be published

Thank you Wisest Arab (talk) 09:14, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wisest Arab Please disclose your connection with this person; see WP:COI and WP:PAID.
Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about someone and their accomplishments. A Wikipedia article about a person must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 09:19, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Wisest Arab: it's mostly unreferenced, which is totally unacceptable in an article on a living person, and the few sources there are don't establish notability per WP:GNG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:20, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

09:37, 26 October 2023 review of submission by 103.117.237.110

edit

Why did you decline my article? It was real information. 103.117.237.110 (talk) 09:37, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You draft was a blatant advertisement. 331dot (talk) 09:41, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources.

10:53, 26 October 2023 review of submission by Drmohammadimath

edit

Why has been declined my draft? The previous time that this article was declined I had been used footnotes for references...and the helping guys in the help page told me that it is not good to use footnotes...So I had to delete them and used external links...but this time it has been declined and they told me why do not you use footnotes....It is very strange and I do not know why Wikipedia is bothering me and reject an article about one of the best Mathematicians in Italy!!! All the things I have written in this article are true and I put all the references! 

Drmohammadimath (talk) 10:53, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Drmohammadimath. Every single source you have used is a paper or book or article written by Stefano. This means they are not independent of the subject, which means you have not proven that Stefano passes the WP:NACADEMIC criteria. Qcne (talk) 10:57, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

yuy Akakachan (talk) 11:09, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Akakachan: you don't ask a question, but this draft has been rejected, as there already exists an article on the same topic at Avengers: Infinity War. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:16, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

14:45, 26 October 2023 review of submission by Ryanatour1

edit

why was this rejected can i get a specific reason Ryanatour1 (talk) 14:45, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ryanatour1: let's turn this around – can you give me even one specific reason why this should be included in a global encyclopaedia? Because I sure can't think of any. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:53, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
entirely unsourced and there is zero indication of the subject being notable.Theroadislong (talk) 14:54, 26 October 2023 (UTC)±[reply]
The subject is notable if the person it is written about is notable Ryanatour1 (talk) 14:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Quite so. Therein lies the rub. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:02, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

17:25, 26 October 2023 review of submission by Xpillz

edit

my submission not qualifies for Wikipedia article Xpillz (talk) 17:25, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, @Xpillz, your draft does not qualify for an article. Do you have any further questions? Qcne (talk) 17:27, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But I have provided citation and arrange everything,what could be missing or what more left to be fixed so that it can be acceptable Xpillz (talk) 17:37, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your citations do not prove this person meets the WP:SINGER criteria. Qcne (talk) 17:40, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Xpillz most of the sources are not reliable (no evidence of editorial oversight, history of fact-checking, some offer promotional services which means they are not reliable or independent, etc.). S0091 (talk) 17:44, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

18:12, 26 October 2023 review of submission by Sachake94

edit

I've submitted a wikipedia draft for a fintech marketer in Sri Lanka. With website references of the figure -Business magazines feature article about him -Business news site feature article about him -An article he wrote which was published on a leading newspaper -A brand blog of a fintech app in Sri Lanka talking about an innovation he did.

Someone has rejected my article saying the person is not noteworthy! I think that's completely insane Sachake94 (talk) 18:12, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sachake94 let's go through your sources one by one:
1) economynext.com, an interview so cannot be used to establish notability. See WP:INDEPENDENT.
2) echelon.lk, the... same interview? see above.
3) frimi.lk, a blog post so not WP:RELIABLE. Also barely talks about the guy
4) apidm.lk, a staff page, so not WP:INDEPENDENT.
5) apidm.lk, another staff page, so not WP:INDEPENDENT.
So, how exactly do you believe this person meets the WP:NBASIC criteria? Qcne (talk) 18:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19:02, 26 October 2023 review of submission by Jhulford

edit

Im sorry; I feel as if I submitted quite a few references and citations. How can I improve this so I can help give this library it's own wiki article? Jhulford (talk) 19:02, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jhulford. Unfortunately every single source you've provided is WP:PRIMARY as its either from the library itself or from an organisation closely connected to the library.
Respectfully, any organisation can pump out whatever sort of advertising they want about themselves. Wikipedia is only interested in what reliable, independent, secondary sources have to say about the organisation.
Check the criteria at WP:NORG. Qcne (talk) 19:13, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I added some better citations to outside sources is this any better? I would appreciate your advice. Jhulford (talk) 19:54, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Much of the draft is worded as advertising- the library describing its services and offerings. This does not establish notability. Wikipedia is primarily interested in what others say about the library. 331dot (talk) 08:20, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19:06, 26 October 2023 review of submission by JimmyTommm

edit

What is this article lacking? It is a webpage informing people about the mustache club. JimmyTommm (talk) 19:06, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not the place to tell people about your club. That's what social media is for. When the news writes about your club and what makes it a notable organization, let us know. 331dot (talk) 19:10, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
JimmyTommm, the relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Cullen328 (talk) 00:48, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19:45, 26 October 2023 review of submission by Hamody Saif is back

edit

Why did you treat on me Hamody Saif is back (talk) 19:45, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hamody Saif is back. You didn't bother to source it after being given 2 chances to do so and thus the draft was rejected. Please read WP:GNG. Regards, Seawolf35 (talk - email) 23:07, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
