edit

I made a article about a small spotify artist however it was been not approved I don't understand the problem here WHYCANTIFINEANAME (talk) 04:20, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WHYCANTIFINEANAME: TBH, this could have just as well been rejected outright, as there is no indication that the subject is the least bit notable, which is a core requirement for inclusion in Wikipedia. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:31, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can I change the draft article title? Should I copy the content to a new draft page and delete the original one? Yanjia00 (talk) 05:35, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yanjia00: you don't need to worry about the title at this stage, if/when the draft is accepted, it will be moved to its new title anyway. That said, to what do you want to change the title, and why? (I can add a comment to the draft to this effect.)
And no, you very much should not copypaste the content into a new draft, as that creates all sorts of problems. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:30, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I want to keep the content and change the title to "Yang You (computer scientist)" so that the name will be in consist with the content. Yanjia00 (talk) 02:44, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m a soccer player who as play upsl pls make my page public Klavensky kly (talk) 08:54, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Klavensky kly: I've rejected this draft, since there was no sign of notability, and very little evidence of improvement either.
To say nothing of the fact that you should not be writing about yourself in the first place; see WP:AUTOBIO. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:00, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alamsher369 I fixed your post to provide a link to the draft as intended. Did you see the messages left by reviewers? 331dot (talk) 10:41, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yes they left a message and it looks like this
{Hello, Alamsher369! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk)}. please help me to publish my first article Alamsher369 (talk) 10:57, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In writing a Wikipedia article, your very first task is to find several reliable indepednent sources which talk about the subject in detail. If you can find these, then your next task is to write an article which summarises what these sources say. Nothing else should go into an article.
If you cannot find such sources, then there is no point in writing so much as a single word of an article, because any further effort will be wasted, since an article will never be accepted without such sources. ColinFine (talk) 11:14, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was only declined, not rejected. Rejected has a specific meaning here, that a draft may not be resubmitted. Declined means it may be resubmitted.
Please tell how you know this actor, since you took his picture and he posed for you.

Advice for improvement of draft Dear members of the teahouse community, Hi, I'm seeking advice for improving my draft Draft:Mestre Sapo, since it has been suggested that it might benefit from cleanup. I've been consulting the directives for correct referencing, and I'm quite satisfied by the current state, yet there might be something I'm missing, so I'm open to any type of advice that you might have! Cheers, Daniele DanieleGamba1995 (talk) 11:46, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the format of your post to provide a link to your draft in the header. 331dot (talk) 14:22, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

edit

How do I make this game Thruball more notable? Thruball Game (talk) 17:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Thruball Game: the subject either is notable, or isn't; you can't fathom notability out of thin air. Also, Wikipedia does not publish 'how-to' guides, which this seems to be. Besides which, this draft has been rejected, and won't therefore be considered further. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:05, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Been trying to do what is requested. Can you please help me? I am Pavlos Sarlas; my son is Alessandro Sarlas and he is 10 years old racing driver making his career in karts and has some accolades already. So I am trying to set up his Wikipedia page to help for his future career in motorsport. 77.98.209.180 (talk) 20:01, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pavlos.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is for. We are an encyclopaedia of topics that are already notable. It is forbidden to use Wikipedia to promote (or help a future career) a person. If your son becomes notable in the future then a volunteer editor may write about him. For now, however, the draft has been rejected and will not be considered further.
Let me know if you have any questions. Qcne (talk) 20:07, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
