Minref

Hi. I saw in your review of Draft:Juan de la Luz Enriquez (locality) you had declined on the basis that the draft didn't meet the minimum standard for inline citations. As recently discussed the 'ilc' reason should be used in limited circumstances described in WP:MINREF, generally for biographies of living persons. It would be better to use 'submission is improperly sourced' instead. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:32, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Albert Reuss declined on grounds of copyvio when this issue has already been resolved

Hello Bkissin I am very distressed that you have declined my article Draft:Albert Reuss on the grounds of copyvio, as this issue was resolved some time ago. I wrote the artuk article myself, and have taken the necessary steps to ensure that I can quote from it. Please see the comment below sent by RHaworth to Shadowowl and Primefac

Susan Soyinka was very puzzled and bemused when she was told that she could not use her own words in this article on the ArtUK website. The problem has now been corrected by the addition of Creative Commons and GFDL licence tags at the bottom the page. Primefac, Shadowowl and everybody else, please allow those words to be used here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:14, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

There are still a few referencing issues to be resolved, but otherwise I hope this article can now be accepted, particularly as you made quite a favorable comment over 3 months ago, and I have spent that entire time trying to improve my article. I would be most grateful for any help you can give.

Draft:Albert Reuss

Bkissin These are the words at the bottom of the artuk article, which are the exact words I was advised to use by a wikipedia editor. The editor at ArtUk kindly agreed to insert them:

"The text of this page is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts)."

With regard to your comment about my sources:

"I will say that the article is well sourced, but it needs to be inline citations at the particular pieces of information, rather than on the headings of each section. Bkissin (talk) 22:03, 2 June 2018 (UTC)"

I have used plenty of inline citations. Where I have used citations for the heading, it is because that entire section is covered by that citation. Would you prefer these to go at the end of the section?

Draft review Floris Visser

Dear Bkissin, I am requesting a re-review on the article draft of Floris Visser, for I got the following reaction by you ": This submission appears to be taken from https://www.operamusica.com/artist/floris-visser/biography#biography. 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. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here."

The claim that the text appears to be taken from operamusica.com is simply not true. For operamusica.com clearly states a very old biography of director Floris Visser. Next to that: this specific biography of opera director Floris Visser on operamusica.com was taken from an old biography by Alferink Artists Management, his management worldwide, and the copyright on this lies with Alferink Artists Management. For while creating my contribution to Wikipedia I was in contact with Alferink Artists Management to get the latest and updated biographical material of director Floris Visser and specifically got it copyright free, to avoid any copyright claims, but also to check whether the information on operamusica.com (and other websites) was correct. For a lot wasn't up to date anymore according to other sources, so I rewrote most of it, added much from my own sources, triple checked a lot - note I used: over 70 sources & references -, and also left a lot out, otherwise the article simply would have gotten too long. So again: I was anyway forced to rewrite a lot, but the "source-biography" by Alferink Artists Management I specifically got copyright free. So my question now is: how should I proceed? I followed all the guidelines to my feeling, and did not violate any copyright rules. Please advice me, for this is my first contribution to Wikipedia, and I don't really know how to proceed at the moment, which I find a huge pity after all the hard work I put into creating this article. All best wishes, Giovannihofmann

Dear Bkissin, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to ask for your advice and help. After our contact on the page/article Floris Visser above, you moved it onto Wikipedia, thank you very much for that. I believe you agreed that I made my statement concerning the copyright clear. After that I got quite aggressively approached by another user who first stated I had a conflict of interest since I resolved the copyright issue with Alferink Management as stated above. After this was resolved - like with you - ; the user suddenly put the page on the speed deletion list and now it is gone. While I specifically referred to our contact and messages above. a. I am of course shocked how rude people can be in destroying months of works, but also b. how aggressive, unjust and slanderous these accusations and actions were. Is there anyway we can retrieve the page and where can I file an official complaint against this user? Very much obliged, best wishes, Giovannihofmann — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giovannihofmann (talk • contribs) 16:32, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

@Giovannihofmann: Hi Giovanni, Greetings to you. Understand that you are upset as you created page has been deleted (Floris Visser) so quickly. Wikipedia considers copyvio as a serious matter as it entails legal implications. Under Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, articles that infringe copyvio would be nominated for speedy deletion. Upon checking there are 3 articles involved which your article seemed to copy from, respectively 85%, 33% and 33% respectively of your article content. I have only reported the 85% article. I could not read the article now as it is deleted by DGG (admin). You have contested this nomination and sought help on four different talk pages (Floris Visser talk page, Article for Creation Help Desk, Bkissin's talk page and my talk page), for such I will move this conversation and the links to your talk page for consolidating all the "talks" in one page for DGG to assess and evaluate the validity the copyvio deletion. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 04:13, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello. I think you unjustifiably rejected my article ("Melissa Martínez (fighter)")

You argued that 'Combate Americas' is not a "top-tier" MMA organization. That promotion has several top ranked fighters, not just regionally (in regions with hundreds of athletes), but world-level-wise. To cite some examples of fighters that belong to the 'Combate Americas' roster, that are top-ranked fighters by very well-recognized websites (like Tapology, Sherdog, Fight Matrix): Érik Pérez, ranked #33 bamtamweight in the world; Kyra Batara, ranked #20 atomweight in the world; and Melissa Martínez herself (the martial artist the 'draft' was created about), who is ranked, at strawweight, #9 in Latinamerica (amongst 268 fighters), #2 in Mexico, and #79 in the world; plus, she's a national champion in several martial arts; and she's a world champion in kickboxing, winning second place in the Worlds - Wroclaw, Poland (60Kg Womens division)... So please, let me create this page. I hope you understand. And also, have a good day — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andymman (talk • contribs) 15:58, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

I think your anger is misplaced. I didn't reject your article at all. I left a comment on the article because I wasn't sure whether the subject fit the Wikipedia requirements. In fact, in order to help your case, I brought in an expert from the MMA Wikiproject to give me a better idea before making a decision. It was a different user who rejected the article. That being said, submitting an article to Wikipedia can be a long process of trial and error, and it is important to take a positive attitude when dealing with other editors.

John Hennessey Draft

User:michael.ramos1 Hi, you rejected my article on automotive tuner and racer John Hennessey. The first time I submitted it with the articles and publications he appeared in and I cited and listed them, the page was deleted for copyright.

Now, you are telling me, that there isn't any proof of his notoriety. I am in a catch-22 here. John Hennessey is a notable American automotive tuner. His builds have won awards and notoriety--a simple Google search would prove this. For example his Dodge Exorcist holds a speed record as fastest muscle car. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramos.michael1 (talk • contribs) 14:29, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Guardian Bikes draft

Scruitineer (talk

Hi, you approved my article for Guardian Bikes and then thirty minutes later it was tagged by Edidiong(talk. Can you explain what happened, as speeedy deletion seems harsh for a legitimate stub. Any way that this can be fixed, or advice for how to get the stub back up? Thanks! Scruitineer (talk) 22:15, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

AfCs

Thanks for you excellent work here, which is very much appreciated. Not that you are doing anything wrong, but I have two suggestions about things that I've recently learned:

When an article is promotional as well as having a non-notable subject, it is now possible to give both reasons. I do this whenever it applies, because to some extent promotionalism can be the more critical of the two, and giving it as a reason also discourages the usually promotional editpr from trying to continue with essentially unaltered versions that do not fix the main problem

At this time of year, we will get many articles that are school projects. Sometimes the project has students work on it in their sandbox, instead of off-wiki. Doing that is probably not a great idea, but we don't want to prescribe how other people must conduct their projects. (And some faculty get unreasonably angry if we appear to interfere with them when we don't really have to.) If it seems like the article is still being worked on, it's better to leave int in Sandbox space. If it's being worked on but is already ready for mainspace, sI sometimes suggest they move it to draft and submit it. If of course it has not been worked on for a while (as is likely to be the case by August), then if it has any possibilities, I certainly move it to draft space -- and if it is good enough, accept it.

Hope this helps DGG ( talk ) 05:46, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

As a note, the second decline reason needs to be manually input with |reason2= with the reason one of the decline codes. Primefac (talk) 13:30, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Primefac,there have been some improvements. The second reason no longer has to be entered manually. After entering the first reason, leave the cursor after the first reason, and select another. If necessary, click preview again to see both. Works about 90% of the time. DGG ( talk ) 15:59, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks DGG and Primefac! :) I had no idea I could add a second reason! DGG, as for the school project issue, the sandbox in question had been submitted to the AfC list, and so I was merely trying to move it to the draftspace as we would any other article. I definitely see your point, though. I'll try to be a little more discerning when applicable. Bkissin (talk) 18:20, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Coldharbourstores draft

Coldharbourstoresfan (talk) 19:30, 4 June 2018 (UTC) Hi Bkissin, you rejected my article on the British band coldharbourstores. I based my article on a similar size British group, whose notability is also similar: Epic 45 - who do have a wikipedia page, which if anything has less notability. The sources for that band are almost identical. Why are the author for the Epic 45 page's sources and notability acceptable and mine for coldharbourstores are not? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks Coldharbourstoresfan (talk) 21:48, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Jan de Keyser

Hi. I see you accepted Jan de Keyser out of AfC. From what I'm seeing it doesn't seem like he meets WP:NPOL given WP:POLOUTCOMES. What am I missing? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:09, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

You make a good point Barkeep49. I had accepted a Belgian politician earlier who was a former member of the House of Representatives and a lobbyist for the Azeris but now also Mayor. The original article is up on the Dutch Wiki, though that's more of a WP:OSE cop-out than anything else. I think the argument becomes "Does Oostkamp count as at least a city of regional prominence to survive an AfD", as mentioned in WP:POLOUTCOMES. That is difficult to say, and by all means if you want to put the article up for AfD for not meeting WP:NPOL, I'll totally understand. Partially I'm trying to clear the backlog and some battles aren't worth dying over. Bkissin (talk) 21:33, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks that's helpful, I'd have likely draftified it as part of WP:NPP and your context is helpful. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:40, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

  • Draft:Runaway Mountain Coaster (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Thanks for the comments. The coaster is currently built, however I understand that it may not be notable enough for wikipedia. However another coaster in the area The Branson Coaster that should have equal notability has an even less thorough article than the one I provided. My preference would be that both articles remain, because I think they are of interest, however I don't think I should be held to a different standard than the author of articles like that. Thanks for your time.

LuckyNumber85 (talk) 16:57, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for being so understanding LuckyNumber85! There is an important rule around Wikipedia saying that "Just because other stuff exists, doesn't inherently mean that another thing should have an article". That being said, this provides you with an opportunity. I'll accept the Mountain Coaster article if you improve it to the standards of other roller coaster articles, and then we can work on improving the Branson Coaster article together.

Speedy deletion contested: Draft:Michał Tyszkiewicz

Hello Bkissin, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Draft:Michał Tyszkiewicz, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Linguist^unEins^uno (Linguist111) 20:17, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

My apologies Linguist111. I viewed it as an unambiguous WP:AUTOBIO. If you know of a better CSD code for that, I'd certainly be open to hearing it. Bkissin (talk) 20:22, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

No worries. Autobiographies don’t qualify for CSD per se, but the page looks like it would be more suitable in the creator’s userspace so you may want to consider discussing with the creator about userfying it. Cheers! Linguist^unEins^uno (Linguist111) 20:54, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Chele Farley

I'm not sure what else you want me to add - Chele Farley is the only nominee for a major national party in a United States Senate election - this isn't some local city council election. She's been covered in Politico, The New York Post, the NY Daily News, Newsday, and many other local NY publications across the state. She's the GOP nominee and millions of New Yorkers will want information on who she is before election day, and one of the first places many people start looking for that is here on Wikipedia. YankeesFan85 (talk) 13:36, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure what else you want me to say. Here's a similar situation with a Democratic candidate for US Senate in Maine. If you want to try to appeal to a different editor or have assistance on trying to get this article submitted, ask for assistance in the Teahouse or the Articles for Creation Help Desk. Bkissin (talk) 13:51, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Why does this not qualify as "notable" coverage? Like I said, she's had entire articles and profiles about here in mainstream news sources. Here are a few examples. What about these fail to meet notability standards? These aren't just passing mentions, these are entire articles about her and her candidacy YankeesFan85 (talk) 14:17, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

There may be a case for general notability. However, all of these articles focus on her candidacy, which gives off the impression that she is notable for this one event. Unfortunately, my opinion isn't going to change on this one. Like I said before, you'll probably have better luck trying to convince another editor. Bkissin (talk) 14:34, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Sarah Morey

Is there a reason you moved Sarah Morey out of draft space? The article relies heavily on primary sources and the subject seems to fail WP:BIO1E. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:15, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Personally, I see a mix of both primary and secondary sources here. The History of Massachusetts blog, the Baker and Hill books, etc. As for WP:ONEEVENT, go ahead and submit it for AfD. There are plenty of other accusers and victims of the witch trials who have articles, but that's really more of an WP:OSE excuse than anything else. Bkissin (talk) 13:15, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Draft:James Stunt

Hi Bkissin,

Thank you for your very quick review of this submission, although I would take issue with your contentions and would also reiterate that there can be absolutely no, reasonable doubt that the subject meets the Wikipedia criteria for notability, as shown by the wide range of significant coverage in trustworthy, high quality sources that was cited with my submission.

All 18 sources are obviously independent, of high quality and reliable. To suggest otherwise is nothing short of being factually incorrect and even verges on showing deliberate bias against the subject. By way of example, the credentials from a selection of two of these sources are as follows:

Spear’s Magazine – http://www.spearswms.com/james-stunt-net-worth/ – Multi-award-winning wealth management and luxury lifestyle media brand whose flagship magazine has become a must-read for the ultra-high-net- worth (UHNW) community. It is also required reading for the affluent financial services community, including the bankers, lawyers and family offices who advise the wealthy. Since its launch in 2006, Spear’s has established itself as Europe’s leading wealth management authority

Apollo Magazine – https://www.apollo-magazine.com/james-stunt/ – Founded in 1925 and published monthly, Apollo is one of the world’s oldest and most respected magazines on the visual arts. The Apollo 40 Under 40 is a selection of the most talented and inspirational young people who are driving forward the art world today.

This is before you even consider globally renowned news organisations and newspapers such as BBC News, The Guardian and The Telegraph.

In addition to the above, were the subject not as described in my submission, none of these sources would have published the stories concerned. It is highly dubious to try and claim that coverage by these sources is insignificant, especially in the light of Wiki's notability criteria, which states : If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. So the various permutations of my 18 selected sources more than meets this benchmark.

Whether you like him or not, the subject is unquestionably a successful, entrepreneur of ultra-high-net-worth, as well as being a philanthropist who owns some of the most coveted art in the world, often making donations to public causes, as well as owning collection of rare classic cars and contributing to the highest echelons of British politics. This and much more places the notability of the subject beyond any genuine and reasonable doubt.

I believe the above satisfactorily responds to your arguments and I now intend to resubmit my relevant entry about the subject.

Respectfully Yours, SFP18 SFP18 (talk) 09:54, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Template:Types of marriages

Just letting you know that although you declined creation of this template, Ggdivhjkjl created it anyway and deleted this text at Types of marriages. I think some will argue that the template has issues, including POV issues. The age field should at least include "Adult" with a pipelink to the Marriage article, since child and teen marriages are not the only marriages by age. The template also doesn't yet include same-sex marriage. But I'll leave this template topic up to others. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 03:29, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Could you please provide some feedback on why you rejected the HABITAS entry? I made every effort to be as neutral as possible and all the facts are backed up by 3rd party references/publications.

Brandon Taylorian article rejection

Dear User:Bkissin

This new section is relating to your rejection of the request to publish Draft:Brandon Taylorian. I need to take some time to address your concerns with the article's creation and publication.

It seemed your main concern was in relation to the notability of the subject. The subject's notability can be derived from the ability of the young person in subject to become a published author at the age of nineteen and to have founded his own company that is linked to his book series.

All references provided focus on Brandon Taylorian entirely, and involve direct discussions of him and his work rather than simply mentioning him, which seemed to be another of your concerns with the article.

You did also mention in your review that the article was biased. I must protest this statement as I have been very careful in my rewrite of the article and thought that I had surely removed all potential bias.

I very much look forward to hearing back from you regarding these issues with the article so that we may eventually achieve its improvement and publication.

I'm also referencing in User:RHaworth as he guided with me just over a month ago in trying to improve the article for publication. RHaworth, hopefully you see some improvement in the style, the wording, and the referencing of the article in comparison to your last encounter with it?

Kind regards,

When I removed the Alberta First portion from the Freedom Conservative article it was immediately changed back, so I re-wrote an Alberta First article and when that one gets published I would remove the Alberta First portion from the Freedom Article. The Freedom Conservative Party is a new party and bears no relation to Alberta First. Thank you for your time. Hopefully I will here from you soon.

Tariq TEE-M Mirza notes

Thanks for the note, Bkissin. The source for Tariq's top 10 hit, as well as the many articles written about him in Pakistan's national press, date from 2005 to 2008 before those publications kept good online archives. I can provide scans of the physical articles, including the top 10 listing. Where should I send them? Many thanks.

Draft:Gareth_Rhodes

Looks like we came to the same conclusion at almost the same time on Draft:Gareth_Rhodes - is it ever possible to approve a draft and then send directly to AfD? I think this one would benefit from further discussion. SportingFlyer talk 02:08, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

I saw it happen with a draft about a bike company I approved. I'm not sure if we should move it from draftspace if we're unsure of its viability, especially if an AfD discussion already exists. We may also get criticism from people suggesting we have a political agenda for approving this particular candidate. I'm fine if you want to approve it and then AfD it, but I definitely have concerns. Bkissin (talk) 02:20, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

That makes sense to me, especially considering the candidate lost the primary, there's probably not going to be a lot of additional coverage going forward. Probably best to wait for someone else to take a look at it. Thanks! SportingFlyer talk 02:26, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't even realize he lost the primary! If that's the case, then it absolutely should be declined. I thought he was the Democratic nominee, but I just looked it up after you told me! Bkissin (talk) 02:31, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

It wasn't immediately clear from the article - I was so focused on the sources I didn't see that he lost! SportingFlyer talk 02:34, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bkissin, I understand you've declined https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Good_News_(2019_film) page. I have added significant independent coverages.

The film is just announced and what ever data was there, I have cited all those and moreover I will added more references when the film will hit the theater.

I have resubmitted it for your review.

Orient Shield exercise

Orient Shield exercise (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

What was the basis on which you accepted this draft? There are a grand total of 2 references in the article, and neither of them even mention the subject. Bradv 18:24, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Bradv, upon google searching I was able to find a variety of other sources on the exercise, which fit the notability test for me. However, I did have an internal debate about whether or not to accept the draft given the number of sources referenced. Please be mindful or your tone when interacting with other editors, and assume good faith. In the future, you are more than welcome to join the team at WP:AFC and accept and decline articles yourself. We could use all the help we can get when working through the backlog. Otherwise, if you feel that the current article should be PROD'ed, then go ahead. Bkissin (talk) 18:48, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

My apologies if my tone was off — I was merely asking on what basis this was accepted. I am a reviewer at AfC as well, and I usually either get the author to add references before I accept the article, or I add the other sources myself if they are available. So when I saw this I was curious and didn't want to take any further action without checking with you. Bradv 22:37, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

No worries! I added a few more references to the article, including one that is not specifically tied to the military. Hope that helps. Bkissin (talk) 14:33, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Crazy Russian Dad

Dear Reviewer -- you have declined my submission of the article Crazy Russian Dad and I wanted to follow-up:

1. You mentioned these are passing mentions. I disagree - as the article states, Crazy Russian Dad's main fame is within the Russian emigree circles, and as such is covered in the Russian-oriented sources, and not necessarily in the "mainstream" ones.

2. You mentioned that the sources are not independent of the subject. That is certainly not true - all references listed are independent publications that have no relations whatsoever to Crazy Russian Dad.

3. Here are a few additional references I did not include - can you please take a look if they help solidify the article:

- List Building Blog https://www.listbuildinglifestyleshow.com/095/

- Rashkin Report https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/rashkin-report/e/49058916

- Video Interview on Life.ru (Russian Television channel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdoNBBRoONE&feature=youtu.be

Hi There, I'm a little confused as to why the above has been declined? The page is a normal 'album' page for the artist Robin Scot - who has his own page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Scott_(singer)

As well as pages for his first two albums: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%E2%80%93London%E2%80%93Paris%E2%80%93Munich and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Official_Secrets_Act_(album)

And the source cited was from his official website.

I have removed the redirect on Hurricane Florence (2018) as requested, but this does not make it possible for a non-administrator/reviewer to move the page. When attempting to move the page myself, I notice a large red comment stating that we must not manually move it, as it is necessary for page history to move with it. If you have the ability to move the page with its history, that would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I will temporarily re-redirect the mainspace article as to not leave a blank page. Thank you.

Hello. I see that you accepted this draft and moved it to Yosef Haim HaCohen. Can I ask whether you investigated the copyvio issue that I had flagged? Cordless Larry (talk) 04:12, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Cordless Larry! I probably should have reached out to you as opposed to DrStrauss on this article, seeing as he has since left the website. I tried my best to do a re-write of the Biography and His Students sections of the article, so those should be generally OK CV-wise, and have been fixed with INCITE when necessary. I'm not sure how to approach the section about publications. I think my main goal was to fix the WP:WEASEL and promo language that DrStrauss mentioned in his comment, as well as clean up some of the citations. In looking at the talk page for the article, did anyone get back to you about receiving a faxed copy of the information? I tried googling the Magazine in question and was unable to find it. Bkissin (talk) 13:25, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

No they didn't, unfortunately. I'm not sure how adding citations fixes the possibility of copyright violation (although it would help avoid the problem of plagiarism), but your rewriting will hopefully have ensured that the text is no longer identical to whatever the source of the translation was. Maybe we should have a go at rewording the publications section too, just to be sure? Cordless Larry (talk) 18:42, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

I definitely agree! I wasn't sure whether to have it there at all, because I was concerned about how to make the section not come off as promotional, but I will try my best.Bkissin (talk) 21:28, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

On Innovation Culture review

Thank you for the review. Gradually, I am beginning to get a good grasp how articles must be written on here.Gmli82164 (talk) 22:50, 16 September 2018 (UTC)Gmli82164

No worries, Gmli8164. It takes us all a long time to figure out how to write good articles. Definitely seek help from the Teahouse or other editors and they will be more than happy to help you. Writing for Wikipedia is different than writing on another site. Because we are an encyclopedia, our main concern is not to write persuasively (to try and convince someone that something is good/bad) but instead to write the information in a way that educates the reader, but remains in a neutral point of view. This can be difficult, and even some of the best editors struggle with it from time to time. Remember to cite your sources and choose reliable sources when you are citing references. Good luck with everything and happy editing! Bkissin (talk) 23:13, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Sidi Salem SC

Hello. I've noticed that you stated that the draft was declined because it's about an athlete and the submission didn't meet the notability guidelines. I wanted to say that the article is about a football club playing in the Egyptian Second Division, not an athlete. Just wanted to say this in case you didn't noticed it. I've also submitted the draft for review again. Thank you. Ben5218 (talk) 14:29, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ben5218! I did notice what the article was about. According to Wikipedia's notability guidelines for sports-related articles, This guideline does not provide any criteria for the presumed notability of sports teams. Teams are expected to demonstrate notability by the general notability guideline. According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Notability also gives guidelines on teams and football clubs. Wikipedia also has guidelines for soccer leagues they consider to be fully professional. In its current form, your draft doesn't meet any of those guidelines. Bkissin (talk) 14:37, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I was just confused because you stated that the draft is about an athlete and not a football club. Also I thought that Egyptian Second Division would be considered notable, but seems like I was wrong. Thanks for your time! Ben5218 (talk) 14:44, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

No worries Ben5218! When reviewing drafts, there are only a few options to tag a particular draft, and the comment about Athlete notability is the closest to WP:NSPORT. You could try to see if you can make the article pass the general notability guideline, but that can be tough. Thanks for understanding! Happy editing! :) Bkissin (talk) 14:51, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Hemant gupta7/sandbox

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Hemant gupta7/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Anti-corruption

I just saw that you decline my submission of Draft:Anti-Corruption and suggested integrating it into the article. Anti-corruption is a disambiguation though, which made me believe that merging an article with a disambiguation might not be the most appropriate way forward, as it would basically be only a replacement. I would have assumed that moving the disambiguation might be the better approach but also do have to admit that I might not be fully aware of the relevant policies in this specific regard.

Because it relies on only one source. Take a look at TigerSwan as an example. It has a variety of sources from reliable publications that offer coverage that is independent of the company, meaning that they aren't press releases by the company, or written by someone in the company or taken directly from the company's website. Additionally, 1-2 sentences does not make a quality article. Plus "our post"? Are you involved with this company? If so, you should probably read Wikipedia's policies around conflict of interest and paid editing. Finally, thank you for bringing up Validas. Just because other stuff exists does not mean that everything gets a Wikipedia article. You are absolutely right, the article for Validas has no references and reads like it was copy-pasted directly from the company website. I have made sure that it will be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. Bkissin (talk) 18:04, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
