Pat Larter
editDear SwisterTwister - I am wondering what is your knowledge of the recent history of contemporary art from the 1960s onwards
also the sources that have been used include the Conversation which is an international journal of commentary on major cultural and political issues published in several countries and in several languages
and a website from the university of Western Australia and the Lomholt Mail Archive one of the world's best collections of mail art
for the importance of Mail Art see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_art
and Pat was globally renowned as one of the key women in the Mail Art Movement
I am a little concerned about the knowledge base from where your evaluations of notability come from - I am a curator and an art/design historian/theorist in Australia and I know the history of art in my country and globally very well
I will send these links through to the art portal too - as I think that the notability criteria could also be evaluated in that context too
gertsik
editDear SwisterTwister, thanks for looking at the submission of my article on filmproducer Els Vandevorst https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Els_Vandevorst. You have indicated that it is not clear whether Els Vandevorst meets the notability requirements in her field. Els Vandevorst has co-produced many internationally known and acclaimed films, and one of her films was nominated for an Oscar. That last fact alone establishes her as a very notable person in her field. I have included many third party references which prove this, and I'm kind of out of ideas on how to improve this article. Also you have indicated that there are not enough third party references. But other third party sources I can find are so industry specific it seems weird to include them here. I have seen many Wikipedia pages of notable figures that have way less references listed (for example the director of the film that Els Vandevorst produced that was nominated for an Oscar - Martin Koolhoven...). Could you tell me what else I could do to get my page approved?
Thanks allot in advance. Gertsik (talk) 10:56, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

editHi there-trying to improve the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kimberly_Ellis that was declined previously b/c there were not enough third party references. I added more references and took out unverifiable information. What else would you suggest I do/are there any specific references that are un-usable or any statements that need additional verification?

editThanks for looking at my submission for 4imprint plc. you had declined the post stating: Some of these sources are not in-depth third-party coverage, please add any more good sources overall.
Can you point out specifically which sources you are worried about? I have a wide range of sources on this article and if I knew which area you were concerned with I can try to add even more. Any specifics would REALLY help. Thanks so much!

editHey TwistedSister, thanks for taking a look at the Jodcast draft. I took your comments into account and changed up some of the references from links to the jodcast webpage to journals (including astronomy and geophysics), magazines (astronomy magazine) and books. I also included a reference in a bbc news article. You were right, the primary links did take up a lot of the references. I hope the page is more suitable now, please could you tell me if you think it has been improved enough? Thanks Lupine Locus (talk) 22:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Tom Beauvais entry
editHello there, I recently submitted a biog entry for poster artist Tom Beauvais and it was declined. I would like your help / advice in ensuring that it meets eligibility, would you have a moment to help me with the article? I am a poster collector myself and so am perhaps in a position where I overstate the importance of an individual because of my own personal interest. However with Tom Beauvais being one of Britain's best known poster artists and with a roll call of very high profile films that he worked on I was not anticipating that the entry might be rejected on non-notability grounds. The submission for artists requires meeting 1 of 4 criteria and I believe that the entry could be strongly considered under at least two of them.
1. "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." Tom Beauvais is very well known amongst poster collectors, he has a number of red links already on Wikipedia and google search will reveal many more. The foremost scholarly text on the subject 'British Film Posters' published by the British Film Institute reveals that Beauvais is mentioned on 19 individual pages in the index at the back (the book covers 100 years of film poster art and only two other artists have more mentions).
3."The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." Beauvais has created poster designs for many high profile and Oscar-winning films (Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, Fantastic Voyage, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Mad Max) and he was also the resident artist for Stanley Kubrick for over ten years (working on Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Barry Lyndon, and Full Metal Jacket).
I hope you can help assess if this further clarification would make the individual notable. Aroundworld80days (talk) 13:35, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
Re-Submitting Version One Ventures with more citations
editHi SwisterTwister. Thanks for taking a look at my wikipage. I looked at the comments and doubled the amount of sources I have for this page. I think this makes it a more "notable" company that the general public can read about. I hope you understand that it's hard to find a wide variety of sources when a company is only a few years old and happens to be popular among those in the industry. This is the first of what I hope to be many startup-related posts, so hopefully I'll get the swing of this soon!
Thanks again,

Re-Submitting Peter Lipman with a few more sources
editSwisterTwister - Thanks for your review and for pushing for more sources. I added a few more including two computer science text books. Peter Lipman's biggest contribution to computing was at Digital Equipment Corporation - his operating system kernal and memory management work was fundamental and important to today's computing systems, which is why threads like this exist on USENET with people asking who he was. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.vms/c9_quls-Nc8/2VpapWb9hEcJ - I've done my best to answer that question, for example, I spoke with David Cutler - a man who is still alive in this world - and worked closely with Peter at DEC - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cutler - Peter is metioned in Culter's wiki. . Peter Lipman was not, however, the spotlight seeking type. There are no Steve Jobs style documentaries focused on him.. However, like the Walter Isaacson Book, "the innovators" attests to, Steve Jobs successes with Apple were built on the notable innovations of people like Peter Lipman. I should openly admit, the previous copyright violation was a mistake on my part. I added that text inappropriately. It was a copy and paste that I absolutely should not have done. Just a novice mistake from a new wiki contributor. Perhaps the added sources are enough for you to approve.
Thanks for all that you do! Cheers, etlipman Etlipman (talk) 08:12, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Article Submission: Churchill Retirement Living
editApologies for the delay in responding. I was watching your Talk Page and didn't see that you had responded on the draft article page. I've included your comment for the sake of clarity -
"I simply wonder if there are any more good sources talking about them overall than the listed thirty (30). Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 07:47, 4 November 2015 (UTC)}}"
I think I understand. Do you mean reliable sources? I've gone back and done some more research and added in several additional sources. These include The Times and City A.M., as well as some regional and local newspapers. There are now 18 sources listed, which include national newspapers (Express, Telegraph, The Times, This Is Money/Daily Mail), Local/regional newspapers (Bournemouth Echo, Bucks Free Press, City A.M., Oxford Times, Salisbury Journal, Wetherby News), Local government (Adur & Worthing Council, Winchester Council), and Industry publications (Best Companies, Construction News, Estate Agent Today, Gazette Series, Housebuilder & Developer, and Seniors Housing). I have omitted additional sources like other local and regional publications because I feel that would just be duplicating the ones already listed, but they are available, if needs be. Perhaps you can give your thoughts when possible. Thank you Fbell74 (talk) 03:21, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
It looks like you're quite busy with queries at the moment, so I'll just resubmit the revised article and see how it goes. However, if you get an opportunity, please do respond in any case. Thanks 112.205.196.224 (talk) 02:46, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply on the article page. I've responded there, but for clarity am including the response here as well -
- "I could include more information on their property developments in various locations. Do you think that would speak to notability? I could try and put together a breakdown of their geographical spread in the UK as well. Would that help?" Fbell74 (talk) 04:52, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment on the article page. I agree with you that including additional sources that relate to the company's developments may not add to the article, as there are several of these already included. The company is mentioned in articles in such newspapers as the Times, Express, Telegraph and Guardian, and I've included these in the article already. So, source material isn't an issue, I would think. The company lies just outside the Top 250 privately held companies in the UK (about £8M less in turnover than the 250th, which has £147.7M in turnover [I can provide a source for this]). It's also been ranked as one of the top 50 small companies to work for in the UK by the Sunday Times. Would that not be sufficient in terms of notability? Fbell74 (talk) 07:04, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Also, I noticed that a competitor (McCarthy & Stone) has had an article published. While the latter is a bigger organisation the two can be considered rivals and the other article also has far fewer sources and those that are included are from a much narrower range than the Churchill Retirement Living article. With this in mind, do you think the article merits approval? Thank you Fbell74 (talk) 06:27, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
Many thanks, and a tiny inquiry
editHello, sir.
First of all I'd like to thank you for patrolling my page Huzama Habayeb; I highly appreciate it.
I have an inquiry, too; and I hope you'll be able to help me out. After I had created the page in English, I joined the Arabic part of Wikipedia to create an Arabic counterpart of the English page. I saw a translation tool that would allow me to directly create the page, add the references, media, and every other component in the page automatically; and I simply needed to just translate the text. I started doing that, but I when I was finished and published the article, I found out that every time I needed to edit something it would have to be reviewed by someone to be published although the page is mine. I didn't face this problem while I was creating the English page. And now, there are numerous edits and tonnes of additions that I've already made in the Arabic page but they need to be reviewed. Unfortunately, however, the guys at the Arabic version of Wikipedia are not that active.
What I want to kindly ask you is: first, would it be possible for you to approve my edits or does it have to be someone from the Arabic Wikipedia staff? and second, why is this happening in the first place? It's me who created the page; I should be able to edit however I like and the changes should be instantaneous—and that was the case while I was creating the English page—and then eventually, some editor would go through the whole thing and patrol the page, right?
Thanks in advance, sir.

Thank you for reviewing the page. I am wondering what I need to add?
The oil and gas exploration industry has many different players and in order to understand the full picture it is important to be aware of the small players too--especially now while oil prices are low many small companies that are well leveraged are able to buy development acreage/wells that were disproportionately priced previously. That makes many small companies key players in the oil and gas industry, as well as key players in America's economy since they are providing investment opportunities and providing extra tax income to states.
Also, in comparison to some other Wikipedia oil and gas company pages such as Vaalco Energy, the Gulf Coast Western page has many more references as well as links to other educational Wiki pages--proving it's activities and importance.

Thank you for the review. I read the "Notability" guideline and thought that my article meets the criteria, including a national art competition winner (bronze medal out of 1.2 billion place), substantial coverage (newspapers, magazine, WEDU-Arts Plus, a PBS series, museum art shows, etc.) and a creative professional.
Please clarify third party sources. Your help is greatly appreciated!LW1588 (talk) 04:19, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the review SwisterTwister,
I had tried to submit a page on the New Swears and it was rejected twice for the same reasoning despite ensuring that the criteria were met.
Effort was made to capture the bands notability i.e. 2 albums on independent lables, independent reviews, performed in world renowned events, international concerts, etc.
I tried to make every single statement verifiable by at least one entirely independent reference so that all references were verifiable and support the bands notability..
Can you please clarify where the page needs improvement. Thank you very much, Mark
Mika Toba notability
editHi, you turned down the Draft:Mika Toba with the following reason: "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia."
But... there's 5 references, including 3 articles specifically about her and her art in Japanese national dailies, plus the VietNamNet source (which isn't a source I'm familiar with) and the magazine in-depth interview. I don't see what more you could ask of when the notability article plainly states "they [should]have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." 126.59.94.42 (talk) 06:24, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello,
We released Verigreen to promote the usage of gated check-in (commit) concept in the development industry. I'm struggling with which additional verifiable citations you require - I've added citations from Microsoft, JetBrains and Jenkins CI (CloudBees), all concerning the gated check-in concept. We're a tool promoting this way of developing code. How is that different from any other 3rd party tool (especially open-source ones) that are on Wikipedia? How is that different from Git, Jenkins, Docker or any other such tool already present in Wikipedia? I feel this is kind of a chicken and an egg - to raise awareness we need more sources. To get more sources, we need to raise awareness. I think Wikipedia is a good platform to raise the awareness and even a discussion (by editing) of the concepts.
I would really appreciate some pointers into which kind of citations would be acceptable.
Thanks in advance!
ThalionSES (talk) 06:35, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- I understand ThalionSES but for the article to be fully confirmable as an article and safe from any deletion attempts questioning notability, the sourcing needs to be more adequate (six (6) is acceptable sometimes but in this case, it may need some more).

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to review my draft of Logz.io. I'm sure you get a lot of angry messages from people asking, "Why was my draft rejected?!" -- this is definitely not one of them. :)
I was just curious because I looked at the Wikipedia page of Loggly, another company in the industry, and the length of the content and the number and quality of the sources were similar. So, is there another way that I could improve the article?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Quick question
editI see you review a lot of the articles I create so thought I would check with you first for some advice. I was reviewing an article and thought it to be a content fork so I looked further. I discovered the article was created by an editor who also created two other articles that could also possibly be considered content forks as there is already an article they could be included in. Once thing that is common to all three articles is there is a link to the same website in all three. The website is a local business that is no where near a reliable source. Is it common for people to create articles simply to try to gain a backlink from Wikipedia or it more common that people go to articles already created to add a link? --CNMall41 (talk) 10:52, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Simply curious, what article is it CNMall41? SwisterTwister talk 08:40, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you for the reply. There are other sources for this individual, such as some print magazine articles and mentions, but not sure how to site those sources.

If you could tell me what other articles need to be included I could search for those specifically. Thank you for your help. :)

Vital Danza rejection
editHi David,
I am very new to wikipedia and I would like to know why my article doesn't reach the general guidelines of notability. I was wondering how I could use my sources better as well. I don't have many sources in english, my subject has been covered more in finland, Japan and spain. I have a reference from a news programme in the Canary islands as well. Can I use citations from there? or do they have to be printed sources? Anyway, I just need some general advice for my article as there is so much information to swallow on the website. I feel a bit lost. I would really love for my first article to be on the wikipedia. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi there,
How many more would I need? I've added one more. What would be a respectable amount of articles for it to fit the guidelines? I see other wikipedia articles with no more articles than mine.

I was asked as to why a separate article is necessary when there are pages on multidimensional signal processing and wavelets. I have a couple of things to say in this regard:
From wikipedia, there are also different pages on all different types of wavelet transforms (CWT, DWT). I wanted to put them all together for the multidimensional case because they are more closely related and one is necessary to explain another. Also, there is the new technique of Hypercomplex wavelet transform for multidimensional signals. Research is still active in that field and there is not a lot I could write about it in the encyclopedic format in a totally other article.
I could also provide more sources for this but I do strongly believe that a new article is necessary.

Hi SwisterTwister, I've added a number of links to articles on Maj Gen Purdon, including BBC articles, the Times, and BBC Radio Ulster interviews. Maj Gen Purdon has a very long and notable life story, but I'm not a military historian - my intention is to get the basic page up and running and then engage with military historians to get the other details of his exploits documented. Is that a reasonable approach?

Gill Fielding - Notability
editThank you for your attention to my proposed article for Gill Fielding. I have taken into consideration your comments and added a further two independent sources. One is from the Telegraph, featuring a preview of the television programme for which Gill is mainly known. I hope that, together with the existing Times and BBC references that this will be enough to establish notability. I have also added an additional reference from a local newspaper (The Worthing Herald). I hope that the fact that she is respected by that local news outlet as an expert in the field will add weight to my case for Gill's notability. I will resubmit shortly. If you feel this is still not enough, please would you give me some advice. If it is purely a case of numbers I'm sure I can trawl for a few more sources but if it's something else please let me know and I will address it. Thanks again.

Hello there! I am hoping to get a better idea of what I'd need to do to provide enough sources for the page for Yvonne Healy I've been working on.

(It is my first time working on Wikipedia so I appreciate all help/time/criticism very much)
Also, as a point of curiosity, this wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Rocha is the one that I started out using as a sample, given the shared profession, so I just wonder how that article passed but mine doesn't.

Concerning the submition of Max L. Lacayo page
editI believe Max L. Lacayo is a notable writer because he has been featured in Newspaper article in the most prestigious Nicaraguan newspaper La Prensa. His books have been presented at the Nicaraguan Institute of Hispanic Culture Organization sponsored by the government of Spain. A video of that presentation was uploaded to youtube by a former president of Nicaragua Enrique Bolanos as you can see in reference number 7. The international journalist and writer María Lourdes Pallais has reviewed his book in La Prensa as you can see in reference number 8. In other references you can see article written about Max L. Lacayo and his work.

Draft:Emile Rey
editHi David. Thanks for your efforts in reviewing articles, and for your feedback on my latest contribution via WP:AfC. As you'll have seen on the talk page, Emile Rey already has articles on Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish Wikipedia, albeit less well cited than this one. Following your concerns, I decided to delete those first ascents where I had myself added {{cn}}
tags. With these temporarily removed, I suggest the article now better shows the WP:N of this person, and requires no further citations to support this. With a statue erected to his mountaineering achievements, and a major geographic feature in the Alps named after him, and with major first ascents of virgin alpine summits, he is far more significant than many lesser modern mountaineers who have articles based on just one or two new climbing routes. A search on his name within Wikipedia is itself quite revealing. I think the secondary sources I have cited do already demonstrate his wider recognition. The talk page also lists the further contributions I plan to make once this article goes into mainspace. I'd appreciate your further thoughts on this.

Hi SwisterTwister, Thank you for reviewing my submission. In my understanding, you are mainly concerned about no multiple third-party reliable sources. On top of the references listed in the draft, over 30 scientific media published such information. You can find them on dewcomputing.org. These are all third-part reliable sources. Another point I hope you can consider: This article is not about websites or web content, it is about a computer science structure. Please reconsider and tell me your decision. Thanks.

I gather that my submission was rejected because the subject was not notable enough. What can be more notable for a British artist other than to have paintings accepted by the Royal Society of Portrait painters on two consecutive years, and also to have a painting reproduced in a book on British Marine Artists?
What higher achievements are possible?
What should I do to represent his life?
I can take photos of his work through his career and in fact intended including selected ones, particularly the entry in the book, but presumed that the text should be established first.
Please advise.

Could you point out which statements you think are not sufficiently sourced? Maybe for the first draft, I can take those parts out.

And Sarah Hay in my eyes is as notable as Irina Dvorovenko. So why Irina Dvorovenko wiki page exists and Sarah Hay's is not? Also considering the sources in this article about the series themselves...I don't see how sources here are more reliable than mine?

editHi, I am new to Wikipedia and wrote an article draft Draft:Akshay_Agrawal which you rejected on grounds of being not notable enough. As I saw it, there were copious number of sources. Could you please help me understand what can be done to make it notable ?
- Was it the quality of the sources or the quantity of the sources that was insufficient ?
- Could you provide me a few examples incontext of person biographies that would make it notable ? Like would an article from a REALLY Famous blog do ?
- Would something like a TEDx talk be counted notable? im really lost on what would count as notable in this SPECIFIC case.
Also, I wrote the article because there is another person named Siddharth_Shetty who has similar and almost comparable sources. So that is where i am not able to understand what was wrong. I think this is WP:Other Stuff Exists?

Hello, the draft for Osteoware has been denied again. It was denied on November 1st initially for only having two sources. I am confused as to why it was denied again, because it has 8 cited sources and 13 additional resources relevant to the subject. FORDISC is a related software used by biological anthropologists (specifically forensic anthropologists) and it has a Wikipedia page. Biological Anthropologists use both FORDISC and Osteoware together when studying skeletal remains. Osteoware is an essential software to the field of biological anthropology and is run by the Smithsonian. I am confused about why it wasn't accepted because the referencing is verifiable and has secondary sources.

I've added some more significant references. I would also like some assistance if those do not turn out to be enough.
Hey David,
Thanks for editing my BBGM draft. I was wondering if you could help me with some general issues I've been running into regarding displaying the company's noteworthiness? While I've edited some articles before, this is the first article I've ever created from scratch, so I'm still trying to get the hang of things. The biggest problem I've been experiencing is that even though the firm gets a large amount of coverage, most of it is about the company's architectural projects and not the company itself. For example, they were recently contracted to design the renovations for the Watergate Hotel. Obviously, the Watergate is a pretty a big deal, being both ultra high-luxury and historically significant, so they aren't just going to hire anyone to renovate it. They'd only hire a very well-known and highly-regarded company. All the news related to the topic, however, only focuses on how the Watergate is going to look when it's finished. And last year, Forbes dedicated an entire article to a suite they designed. Not even a hotel, a single suite! But unfortunately, other than trade journals, the news media isn't really all that interested in learning about the guys behind the scenes. BBGM is a big name in the architectural community, and their projects get a lot of media attention from big news sources like The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, etc.. It's just that the company itself isn't really in the public eye all that much. Because of this, it's not easy to fit news related to BBGM into a Wikipedia article about them. Any suggestions on ways I might be able to solve this problem? I'm thinking that maybe if I format the page differently, such as make the "significant projects" section paragraph-form instead of a list, I'll be able to make citations to articles about their projects work more easily within the context of the page. I thought I'd see if you had any suggestions before I tried it out though. Whatever the case, I've added a bunch more references to the page, including two references to Forbes and one to CNBC. I've also added a section about BBGM buildings that have been used as sets for movie. So please let me know if you think those would be enough. I now have more sources cited now than the pages of every other architecture firm in DC combined do. Literally.
Thanks,

EDIT: After speaking to some other members at the Teahouse, I've come to realize that an architectural firm may be more suited to the notability guidelines of Creative Professionals (WP:AUTHOR), rather than those of organizations and companies (WP:CORP), as the "creative professionals" section directly mentions architects.

I don't know of any other sources that would be appropriate to cite at this time. Last week I went to Philadelphia to visit the Sketch Club. They may have more archival material and I have requested information from them. I am also going to verify that Jeannette Hope actually did work that was published in The North American...those materials are available at the Library of Congress. Once I get a chance to see these sources, I will add them.
Tasha Chiu speedy deletion
editHello,
I removed your CSD tag on Tasha Chiu. I think there is substantial doubt about whether this person is sufficiently notable to be in the encyclopedia, but it is not a clear-cut case - there is meaningful coverage of her by an independent source, and honestly even being a TV host in a significant market like Vancouver is probably a credible claim of significance in its own right. It therefore follows that the article is not appropriate for speedy deletion. I suggest taking it to AfD to find out what the community's view of local notability might be in a case such as this.
Cheers,

I am left not really knowing what you want re the Olga Jegunova draft! Of the 12 references 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11 are 3rd part sources. Number 4 is YouTube but are you suggesting this is a fake video?! Number 9 is on her website but it does demonstrate that she had a master class with Andras Schiff, one of the most respected live classical pianists, unless you think this is a fake too! Number 12 is a YouTube video but is from a BBC production - surely the BBC can be accepted as an independent source?!
I really need detailed reasons why you reject this version or otherwise we are both wasting our time!
Help!

Dear SisterTwister. Thank you for your review of Eugene Haynes, a new entry by me (andershoghansen). You asked for more sources overall. However, it has over 10 sources already (and over 20 footnotes). Almost everything you can find on the internet plus additional material from the musuems and interview with curator has been used. The sources are also variedL; journalistic, museum-curatorial texts, letter and diary writing by Haynes himself, an obiturary, and other. I don't think the notability can be questioned. Can you be more specific about where you think sources are missings? Best wishes Anders

Hi again SwisterTwister. I just wrote you and was curious about what other sources, for improving Eugene Haynes. Yet, I find some indications in the draft by you and others I think and have begun complementing the piece with further sources. So thanks again. Anders PS. I am not asking for a re-review or other reviewer, I will add sources and edit, resubmit and see what happens.
Hello SwisterTwister, thank you so much for your review of the NEXTEV Article. Still learning my way around wikipedia one step at at time! I have now looked at the guidelines for notability and properly referenced significant coverage in reliable, independent third party sources. I would be delighted to hear your feedback. Many thanks in advance. Ivan
- Sonofpercy (talk · contribs)
Thank you for the feedback. I have read the Wikipedia advice that you have directed me to, but I am not sure that I can improve the article sufficiently to satisfy you from the sources currently available to me.
I have used secondary sources – newspaper and magazine reviews and books – that are independent of the subject, but when you ask me to improve the submission’s referencing, I am not sure whether you are saying that there are insufficient secondary sources, or whether you are just saying that the citations are inadequate (or perhaps both). If the former, then I will try and find some more sources, but I don’t think that will be easy. If the latter then, having read the advice on citing sources, the only additions that appear to be needed are page numbers. These I can add, as I have copies of the relevant publications, but would that be sufficient? If it is not just page numbers, what more do the citations lack in order to make them verifiable?
If the main reason for not accepting the article is that I have not demonstrated notability sufficiently, then – as I seem to have exhausted the reference sources available to me at the present time – I fear that I will have to abandon the submission for the time being. If so, what happens to the draft article? Does it get deleted, or does it remain on the Wikipedia web site as a draft article? If the latter, then I will carry on editing as new reference sources become available to me, although I will not resubmit unless substantial new sources appear.

Spanish Barb Horse
editHi, I came across this article through WPEQ and I seriously doubt it's needed. We already have a fairly good article on Spanish Mustangs, which are basically the same thing. This kind of thing is ridiculously common in the horse world. Somebody likes a particular breed of horse but doesn't like the association that controls that breed, so they form their own association, changing the breed name to make it seem different... 😛 (See Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse and Rocky Mountain Horse for a prime example.) Anyway, I was just going to say that even though I'm usually an inclusionist, I don't really want to see more articles like this because they are more trouble than they're worth. They get written by promoters who don't get that Wikipedia is not a commercial. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 20:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

(Indeed, the Holtj account appears to have been re-activated to avoid the current scrutiny on the ThorLives account). This editor has created a travesty in the form of the Odinism article (replete with non-referenced information and non-reliably referenced information), all with the intent of creating a WP:Coatrack for the main Heathenry (new religious movement) article, which they are deeply unhappy with because it doesn't present the religion to which they subscribe in a way that they approve of.

editDie Struktur der Landeswettbewerbe richtet sich an den entsprechenden Bundeswettbewerben und an fachgebundenen Olympiaden für Schüler aus. Die Initiative zu den lokalen, süddeutschen Wettbewerben kam vom Tag der Mathematik, der seit 1985 in Baden-Württemberg an Universitäten stattfindet. Er wurde von MINT (Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften, Technik) an der Universität Ulm[2] getragen, in Zusammenarbeit mit hessischen Veranstaltern. Außer dem eintägigen Wettbewerb werden in diesem Programm Sommerschulen oder Kurse[3] mit Universitätsprofessoren oder -dozenten als Lehrer für Schüler aus der Region einer Universität angeboten. Die Schüler haben dabei die Möglichkeit, einen späteren Studienort kennenzulernen, ihr Talent mit Schülern anderer Schulen zu vergleichen und Freundschaften unter Gleichtalentierten zu schließen.

Woodcraft Supply draft
editIs there anything that can be added to help prove notability and make this draft page go live? WinCo Foods is a similar size chain to Draft:Woodcraft_Supply, however, there are many more sources referencing Woodcraft stores or magazine, including some larger publications such as The New York Times. In addition to the US stores, the magazine and catalog give Woodcraft an international footprint across 117 countries. Woodcraft is certainly notable within the woodworking industry and for hobbyists. In that context it seems odd that it is not already included in Wikipedia (I suppose there may not be a big cross-over of woodworking enthusiasts and Wikipedia contributors).

19 Nov review of submission by T McNellis on Kami Lyle
editThanks for the quick review, David, and I have spent some time looking through (again) the notability guidelines as well as the GNG. I'm admittedly a newbie when it comes to this, and the extensive thought that went into creating the guidelines is very interesting and thought provoking, but I readily welcome your help and guidance. Realizing now that notability is not merely a popularity contest (i.e. sheer number of references) I took a hard look at the quality of the references and am in the process of pulling out references that are weak, and adding more independent references. In general, is there a rule of thumb for a musician regarding selection of the type and quantity of references?

OK, you gave me an interesting challenge and in the process I was able to improve my skills in literature and new searches! I’ve included a bunch of additional third party references to give a more varied and global view of this artist. In keeping with the wikipedia guidelines, I’ve tried to include only reliable sources and have removed questionable ones like examiner.com. Overall for notability, here’s what I think I’m seeing for this artist: subject of multiple published works (Encyclopedia of Popular Music 4th Edition, numerous articles in Billboard, NPR, national press); plus two full length albums (although one is independently produced) but there are several others on significant labels where she is credited as composer and performer of one of the tracks; significant activity with national artists and national media on major networks; and won several awards in what I believe are national songwriting contests.

Hi. The submission of my draft of "The Elements of Sound" has been declined with the message "This looks more like a journal report rather than a formal encyclopaedia article". I would appreciate it if you would advise me of how to turn it into an encyclopaedia article. Should I use the same format as "the elements of Art"? Is there a different model I should use?
Is there something wrong with the information? I can assure you it is well researched.
Perhaps the use of the expression of "the elements" needs to be elaborated and differentiated between definitions of rudimentary elements and perceptual elements. The intent is to identify a list of discrete elements of sound which are both comprehensive (make up all forms of sound) and can be independently manipulated.
Similar definitions can be found in a variety of areas:
law: element of a crime (or element of an offense) is one of a set of facts that must all be proven to convict a defendant of a crime
Chemical element, a pure substance consisting of one type of atom in mathematics, an element, or member, of a set is any one of the distinct objects that make up that set. in philosophy Classical elements, the ancient belief about the fundamental types of matter (usually four in number), expressed in their Aristotelian forms as fire, earth, air, and water Rburtonresearch (talk) 07:26, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello
Thank you for your review. I don't understand why the sources www.sikart.ch which is a scientific portal of the SIK-ISEA, the international recognized swiss institute for art research shouldn't be a reliable source. The same goes to the Fotostiftung Schweiz (www.fotostiftung.ch). Can you explain me that? I found several swiss photographers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Swiss_photographers) which do have the same reliable sources and are published since long ago in the EN-wikipedia. How could this happen? Did the criteria chance? Concerning the notability of the photographer: He won several times the Swiss Art Award (1974, 1976, 1983, 1985), did more than one Art Stipend in the States and elsewhere and got exhibitions in the States (like New Museum, NY), Germany, France, Belgium, Italy (Biennial of Venice), and Switzerland.
Thank you for your support.

Thank you for reviewing my article. I am asking that you accept the article with the references I have listed. I am quite certain that any other references I could possibly locate would be either unreliable in regards to accuracy or simply copied from the sources I have listed. I am referring to the MPHA website in particular as it is the official online site of the Mountain Pleasure Horse breed association and is maintained by individuals committed to accurately presenting historic and current events pertaining to the breed. The non-url references are taken from vintage publications which are few and difficult to come by. In writing this article, I have attempted to locate and reference all known documentation in order to write a complete and accurate article and I do hope Wikipedia will accept it as written.

editHi. Thank you for reviewing my submission for the Draft: Cenduit page. I was wondering what exactly needed to be done for the article to be published. Did you mean that there needed to be more sources for the article? Thank you Cenduitllc (talk) 17:54, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
Stress measurement in aviation
editI think the fate of that article was the result of a series of misunderstandings and mistakes (as you can see from the article's history). I propose returning the article to the student's userspace, and making sure that they understand how they should proceed (ie, don't move it to mainspace in this state). I wanted to clear it with you, as the nominator, that userfying it was an acceptable outcome. Thanks. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:08, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Envision Energy Draft
editHi! Our company page has been declined again Draft: Envision Energy, in which you said we need more third-party sources. How many more do you need? There isn't a lot of media coverage online about our business, since we are in a traditional B2B industry with a lot of things happening offline. As our main operation is based in China, there are more sources in Chinese, but limited amount in English. Would it be alright if we include some sources in Chinese? Thank you.

Thank you for your comments and taking the time to review my submission. I added additional third party source to demonstrate notability. Mongabay's websites draw almost 3 million visitors a month, while the organization has over 200 correspondents, translators, and staff, so it significant entity. Thanks for reconsidering.

editThank you for reviewing my article on Mosaic451.

Confused Regarding Rejection of Submission
editThank you for taking the time to read my submission for a Wikipedia article. The feedback I received for rejection was due to the subject not being notable enough for inclusion. The subject's bands are extremely popular, they are currently performing in sold out arenas, one of the subject's bands has their own Wikipedia article already, which references this subject. Another band member also has his own Wikipedia page. The subject is endorsed by a major drum manufacturing company, the subject's albums are available for download on iTunes, etc. Many other bands/band members related to the subject are also widely available on Wikipedia. All of this information has been referenced in the article I submitted. If the issue is improper referencing I'm happy to oblige if you would be more specific about what the concern is. Simply saying the subject is not notable enough doesn't quite seem to fit the bill. The subject is all over YouTube, has been interviewed for Natural High, performed at Warped Tour. The subject's achievements are more than notable. Less notable individuals have articles of their own. Would you please clarify further what is considered notable if this individual does not fit the bill?

CSD A7 tags
editHi,
I notice you've been tagging articles CSD A7 on notability grounds, judging by your edit summaries. That's not what A7 is about; it's about there not being a credible claim of significance (not notability; they are not the same thing). The claim does not even need to be true to fail A7, nor does it need to be sourced or verifiable. Non-notablity alone is not a criterion for speedy deletion, and it doesn't matter how non-notable an article's subject is; if there is a credible claim of significance, it's not an A7. Although you're not the first person I've come across who evidently misunderstands A7, I'm surprised you didn't know this as you've been here for 7 years, whereas I've only been here for 7 months!

- @SwisterTwister: I didn't decline it per se; I'm not an admin. We are, however, allowed to disagree and remove the tag. I thought the claim about Minerva Mendez gaining media attention is probably a credible claim of significance. If you think she, or any of the other articles are not notable, go ahead and nominate them (AfD or PROD) on those grounds. Adam9007 (talk) 02:25, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
- Adam9007 Yes but the question is what "media attention" as I found nothing at all (all I find is her own primary websites). This seemed like an easy speedy rather than spending its time at AfD (although I may avidly consider PROD). SwisterTwister talk 02:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
- @SwisterTwister:For the purposes of A7, it's irrelevant. If the claim is credible (and I think it is), it's not an A7. If you can't find anything to support it, it's either non-notable or a hoax. A7 is not about verifiability. Adam9007 (talk) 02:33, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi David,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Draft: Mike Steib twice now. I know you play an important role in maintaining the integrity of the Wikipedia platform.
I am writing to follow up about the most recent rejection of this draft. Mike Steib is an expert in the internet business space. This has been noted on the Wikipedia draft by the thirteen high-profile news sources that have interviewed him for insight on the subject. I have included no less than 38 references from reputable sources, as defined by Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. This is far more than other pages of comparable executives, and also more than others on your talk page who complain about the number of sources you require. I would greatly appreciate your acceptance of this submission, or at least a more detailed response regarding steps that can be taken to ensure the publication of this biography. With sources already including The New York Times, CNN, Bloomberg and Fox News I am not sure what other sources you expect to be included.
Thank you again for your work to improve Wikipedia. I assure you that publishing Draft:Mike Steib will only benefit the Wikipedia community.

Notability: Should I change topics, or find more articles?
editHi SwisterTwister!
Thanks for looking at my article again! I'm glad it's improving. Are you saying that this business just inherently ins't notable enough? I've looked at the wiki CORP Notability guidelines, and it seems that all my third-party sources are more in-depth than generic announcements or reviews; many are news articles, and in-depth interviews. I believe Version One Ventures in notable because they have spurred the growth for so many companies! Not to mention the startup world is slowly growing in popularity and size. However, I may have to start with a different startup/venture capitalist if these sources aren't strong enough. I can't find any more!

Hi,
I have added additional references in support of the article but my issue is most of the information I have found are from online news publications. Will this be a problem as the company I am writing about is 4 years old so there isn't any other referneces I can find at the moment, although I am still looking?
I have also corrected the references but for one that is missing the authors name, the article doesn't actually state the authors name, instead it only has the publications name in place of the author. Please let me know your thoughts.
Look forward to hearing your feedback.
Many thanks!
- Jaymini.m Hello!

I guess I need clarification about a couple points.
1) "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule."
I've referenced several sources that cite the artist as either a founder or an important member of the visionary art movement. I also reference 4 books dedicated completely to her art as well as a number of books that she has illustrated, including one by a well-known author, Ursula K. Le Guin. I would think any of these would mark her as worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia.
2) Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Every paragraph in the article has references that could be looked at to verify the information. What is wrong with the references I have used?
Thanks in advance for your help.

My motivation of creating an article about Arthur Kudner stems from finding his famous words on "big words" first, and later discovering that he himself had not just been the author of a single famous phrase, but had a decisive role in the development of the American dream and the American Way of Life which has both impressed and been detested by Europeans before and after World War II. As it is my first article on a person, I did not notice any Wikiquette about that particular kind of Wikipedia articles.
Unfortunately, I do not have enough time to thoroughly research his life and dig out some more "citeable" references for the things I found out by simple searching the web for pieces on him. I choose an extract of information from these sources and composed them to an article covering the Person Arthur Kudner, both father and son. The father, son and the sons first wife were definitely persons of public interest at their time, by being close friends of Grace Kelly, and by leaving footprints first in America and later worldwide in the way advertisement and marketing were becoming an essential part of public life in modern western society.
My conception of Wikipedia was that articles would start even if they are not yet perfect, fragmentary and erroneous, as long as the focused item or, in my case, person was relevant to the public. After reading the guidelines on notability, it is clear to me that Arthur Kudner, both junior and senior, had been creative professionals which made significant contributions to the marketing and advertisement industries in the developing 20th century, insofar fulfilling the second additional criterion on notability, namely "originating a significant new concept, theory or technique". It should not matter that Kudner's contributions were not in the pure artistic domain. Some of his ad slogans have even become common language, this alone should suffice to prove notability.
But I understand that all this needs references to reliable secondary sources and I guess that the sources I added to the first version do not meet all the necessary standards for reliability. My hope was and still is that other Wikipedia authors would close this gap after reading about the article and the famous citation, which also has not been covered in the wikipedia so far. I hope I could persuade you and would suggest to let the article start this way and invite corrections and completions, as I have seen with several Wiki articles before.

I don't find resources other than what used in the article Vandana(Kannada actress). Because she is a veteran actress active in 1960s decade. After her last film no one knows what she is doing. But she was a good actress who did many memorable roles in as many as 20 films in Kannada during her career spanning 8 years. You can watch her films on youtube
1.Post Master https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR5I5WBX8mk 2.Bhagyada Bagilu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc-CncWDino 3.Chinnari Puttanna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L21EMMGZ7Ic and many more famous films
I think the resources that are provided in the article are more than enough to create an article on artist. In this link http://www.supergoodmovies.com/12536/sandalwood/rajesh-stunner-on-silver-screen-exclusives-details one of the legendary actor of Kannada Rajesh says "In the 1950 onwards Honnappa Bhagavathar, Rajakumar, Udayakumar, Kalyankumar, Panthulu, Ashwath, Narasimha raju, Balakrishna, Iyer, B Saroja Devi, Leelavathi, Pandari Bai, MV Rajamma, Mynavathi, "Vandhana", Kalpana, Jayanthi, Bharathi enriched the film industry."
The Chiloka.com has created her profile (http://chiloka.com/celebrity/vandana) which will give the detailed filmography of her. I don't why you are stopping this article from creating. My intention is to respect this forgotten artist. If you are still not convinced and sticking to rules and regulations its ok.

In another conversation, I was informed that some of the Pseudo-Jeremiah texts were found on other Wikipedia pages, but I have seen a lack of representation of the Biblical Jeremiah scrolls found in other places on Wikipedia including the Letter of Jeremiah page, the Dead Sea Scrolls page, and the List of the Dead Sea Scrolls specifically in regards to Cave 4. If I focused more on the Biblical side of the Jeremiah Qumran texts, would that qualify as notable?
Thanks for the help. Azureindignation (talk) 07:06, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
- Whatever makes the article seem like it's solidly notable and satisfying general notability guidelines. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 07:11, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
I could do with some advice as the additional information required to have this page approved. You will have read the club has had world class swimmers train here with references backed up by external independent articles and other wiki pages. During my research i've found other swim clubs wiki pages with less heritage. As this is my first page I do require some specific guide nice
Thank you Andrew

- Keepsharingknowledge The amount of sourcing is acceptable but most of the sources seem focused with the past members of the club, rather than specific coverage about the club itself (the club needs to be independently notable for a solid separate article).

edit
Hi SwisterTwister, thanks for taking the time to review my article and for tidying it for me - my first wikiarticle so I've been on the help page to try and improve it a bit.
I got what you said about notability - yes, he hasn't held a position of office which would seem to be the requirement for notable politicians. I think therefore its fair to say I've probably mislabeled him. Should it say "Mark Clarke (Political Activist)" instead?
I have improved some of the sources, removed the weaker ones like Brietbart and replaced them with stronger ones, such as the BBC. I have removed the articles as the wiki helpers told me that it looked like CITEKILL and I was trying to hard to prove his notability. In fact I wasn't trying to do that, I was being careful to use a lot of sources because many of the newspaper articles about Clarke seem to be allegations at the moment, so I wanted to be sure it was clear it wasn't Wikipedia making the allegations. Even so - where one good source is necessary Ive kept it that way.
Also I have added a section where BBC Newsnight did a special feature on him this month, and also added a documentary about him which aired in 2007.
Can you suggest anything else to help me improve the article so it passes the notability guidelines? I've added lead articles and front page stories in the reference section with major newspapers - that might prove his notoriety but not sure about his notability.

Hi there David. Any update on approving this? You may have read that the UK International Decelopment Minister has resigned over this scandal now and its possible the Chairman of the Conservative Party in the UK will do as well - I will add this to the article. However what about changing it from (Politician) to (Political Activist)? Seems that would surmount the issue of having to be elected or hold office to assume notability. Baron667 (talk) 06:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Baron667 (talk) 05:30, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi David
Have I met the requirements yet for this? Your two issues with it were:
notability: I have elaborated more, including documentary episodes on BBC on him, or special features, on national flagship shows: 3 in total (Newsnight x2 and BBC Radio 4), I have also elaborated more on his key involvement in the resignation of a uk government minister. If you can remove the politician handle then does this prove notability?
citations: I have furnished the article with many sources from UK's most respected newspapers and media outlets, including: BBC News, BBC Radio 4, BBC Newsnight, The Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian, THe Financial Times, The Independent, (Basically all the Broadsheets) and also the most widely read newspapers in the UK - Daily Mail, The Sun, The Mirror, and London's most listened to radio show LBC.
THe man is at the centre of the tatler tory scandal; he is at the centre of an investigation which has brought down a government minister, looks to bring down the Party Chairman, he's associated with the Prime Minister, national conferences have been cancelled, the entire executive of COnservative Party youth wing has been suspended; its been some of the biggest news in the UK over the last 3 months and an activist has even committed suicide over the scandal. MPs have allegedly been blackmailed. Is there anything else I can do to prove notability? If so please let me know David.
Thanks

Hi,
First of all, thank you for taking your time revising my article.
However, I would like your help clarifying your comment about my submission, when you said "Simply not enough in-depth third-party sources overall".
In my view, I have backed every statement in that article with evidence, and the work presented there is notable (again, it's the first co-production show in a 1-billion-habitants country).
So, what else could I do to fix this article? What kind of information is missing?
Thank you, G
Hello. Thank you for reviewing my article about Robert Rosenthal. I am hoping you can help me understand what lead you to determine that he is not notable so that I can adjust the article appropriately. He is the CEO of a company he founded at a time when there were not many companies providing wealth management, he lead the IPO of a major corporations (Entenmann's), serves in leadership roles of a major university, Hofstra, a major health system, North Shore-Long Island Jewish, and at one time was an owner of the NY Islanders. Each of these are referenced with either article citations or website references. Please let me know what I can do to improve this article. Thanks! KarenFLI

Draft:DeafVideo.tv added more third party sources
editHi SwisterTwister, you've given me feedback on a draft page I'm working on. I've went in and added more third party references. How many are needed to make a page? I think I've found about as many as I'm going to find for a subculture like deafness. If the page is not now adequate then how can I delete the draft page? Feel free to do that for me if you don't think the page is now worthy of wikipedia. I've given it all I have. I do think this is an interesting topic that people who are interested in learning about ASL or Deaf culture should know about. It is a Deaf space that propogates the spread and influence of Deaf culture in the internet age. Thanks for considering my page and for the help making it possible.

politician notability criteria; unsure?
editIt really baffles me as to, how is it that you have chosen to reject my contribution by actually stating that, you are not sure whether 'it does or does not' fit the politician notability criteria! Being unsure does not give you that privilege for the encyclopedia is not meant for you alone. Some of the sources are certainly curated by me over the web and it is but obvious that one would notice that I have a verbatim surname to the one relating to the politician I am attempting to insert into the encyclopedia. Moreover, has it ever occurred to you that some vernacular sources from yore, although legitimately recorded on other mediums may have not yet been brought online? Moreover, it is for a certain that 'mmsajjan' was a bona fide elected representative representing a constituency of 2,00,000 voters even though most of them may not even be aware of 'wikipedia'! And this does fit the notability because pictures do not lie and do take note of the photograph therein of said politician greeting the most fiery Prime Minister of India; no less!

I have read through your help page on citations but require more specific information. I'm unsure as to which statements need specific citations to improve the entry. Or is it perhaps that the sources themselves are fine but I've formatted them incorrectly.
Would appreciate your assistance and insight in order to get the article fully compliant with community standards.

editHi SwisterTwister,
You declined my entry on Father Thomas Carroll. Draft:Thomas J. Carroll It's only my second article so please help point me in the right direction. Apparently the primary problem is that the citations don't make it clear that the subject is notable. On my first entry I ran into the problem of "peacock" and "puffery" so I went out of my way to avoid superlatives and the like. I've added additional citations and some new material to help make it clear. Please take another look and give me some guidance on how to improve this.

I want to ask David, the random patroller - When all the sources mentioned are of leading newspapers and agencies why more references are needed.

I completely understand your reason behind the comment. What can I do to fix the problem? I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, so perhaps it was the way I inserted my references?

Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 06:05, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I am keen to understand more clearly why the sources provided to show Invest Europe's notability are not sufficient, and what type of further article / link I could provide to allow the page to be published. Invest Europe is the European equivalent of the National Venture Capital Association in the United States, which seems to have little information to support its notability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Venture_Capital_Association
In the past week Invest Europe research has been referenced in the Financial Times - http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/3a7d4ebe-78a4-11e5-a95a-27d368e1ddf7.html#axzz3sxtGHVMl
In addition, an update to its professional standards, which acts as a code of conduct for the private equity and venture capital industry in Europe, has been reported widely in the European financial media (eg - Financial News - http://www.efinancialnews.com/story/2015-11-24/invest-europe-transparency-guidelines )
Would those additions help?

editHello SwisterTwister.

Re sources, how many more does it need? At some point in the creation process, there was an auto-generated list called "Find sources for Wilhelm Neumann-Torborg" or similar. I promise I clicked on every link (except JSTOR, because I don't have a subscription) and put everything I found in the article.
Also, what do you mean by more information? Is there a minimum length I need to reach? One of the sources that I could access has a long description of how he was hired to make the Elberfelder Poor Relief Momument but I thought that was a bit too fine detail for an encyclopedia article. But I could add another sentence there and pad it out a bit.
Thanks again for your help!184.147.121.46 (talk) 21:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I saw you reviewing my article and I'm really having a hard time reaching your standards of notability. I knew some of her TV commercials, print ads and modeling career, if I can provide the info on list format with the links (like YouTube) provided in reference section, will it count as notability?

What has to be included for third party sources in a draft
editDear SwisterTwister,
Draft link : - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:IJSRD&redirect=no
I got following comment for declination of my draft on IJSRD "Comment: Simply needs in-depth third-party sources overall to at least satisfy journals notability guidelines. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 07:42, 1 December 2015 (UTC)"
Which third party sources should I include to satisfy the journals notability. As it is e-journal and working with academic Publishing. Please tell the third party sources names so we can include it. Also tell which references should be included. As we have included the external links giving notability of this Journal.
Please reply. IJSRD Editor (talk) 08:41, 1 December 2015 (UTC)--IJSRD Editor (talk) 08:41, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @ISJRD Editor: Please read and understand WP:42, and recognise that the absence of sources meeting these simple but stern criteria mean that it is very unlikely that your journal, of which you seem to be the paid editor, is going to be accepted as an article.

The reviewer has rejected my article on James Chisholm (Senior) based on a lack of notability ["While most historical subjects are accepted, I'm simply not seeing the solid notability here"], suggesting the addition of more secondary sources and improvement of referencing. I have currently included some 40 primary sources in this article. With very few exceptions, the only major second source is the biography of the man's life that has just been published (The Merchant of Sydney). At the launch of this book last Saturday, Emeritus Professor Brian Fletcher, one of Australia's most distinguished historians of early colonial history, said it was extraordinary that such a prominent colonial identity had, to date, "slipped through the historian's net" and had "been sorely neglected for some two centuries". As Professor Fletcher says, James Chisholm has been largely ignored for more than 200 years, and yet he was the equal of many who already feature strongly in the articles of Wikipedia, and certainly exceeds many others in notability. He was a major early entrepreneur and merchant; responsible. possibly only secondary to Robert Campbell, for opening up significant trade with Bengal; he owned a large area of the early town of Sydney; he was selected by Governor Macquarie as a member of his Governor's Court; he owned the first Bank of New South Wales of which he was a founding shareholder and Director; and he was widely acclaimed as one of Sydney's most respected early citizens. He has been neglected by history because he was a modest man who did not promote himself. I have tried to avoid rhetoric and stuck to the facts. I am able to add many more primary sources to this article, if this is required. However, the only other secondary sources that mention him are already cited.
Can you please advise on how I should proceed?
With thanks

==Ronnie Apteker
Hi SisterTwister Re your review of my page, I take your comments on board and hope to be able to provide a solution myself. But I feel bound to say, that a lack of consistency over how criteria are applied is one of the most confusing and maddening things about contributing to Wikipedia. I found it easier doing my university thesis! Take a look at David Frankel (entrepreneur) who was Ronnie Apteker's business partner. It reads like the dullest of CVs, largely written by David Frankel himself if the View History is anything to go by. So could your explain how he is able to get away with that, whereas Ronnie Apteker deserves recognition if only for his contribution to cinema. Doesn't Wiki say that films, books, music are evidence in themselves?
It seems a self-evident that unless criteria are applied equally, then the system must be flawed and consequently in danger of losing credibility Picknick99 (talk) 16:32, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Article Resubmission (Tup Tup Palace)
editHi SwisterTwister, thanks for reviewing my draft article and for your feedback (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Tup_Tup_Palace&redirect=no). I have added more in-depth third-party sources and made some amendments to the structure and content of the article.
In terms of depth of coverage, Tup Tup Palace has been the subject of verifiable significant coverage in many reliable, independent secondary sources spanning a period of some 8 years. There is no shortage of verifiable, objective evidence that it has attracted significant attention from numerous independent sources. The article now has 54 citations in total, of which approximately 1/3 constitute ‘significant’ coverage as opposed to ‘trivial / incidental’. I am aware that the trivial / incidental sources are not, in themselves, an argument for notability, but I feel that such citations can still provide useful background for the article as a whole, which I have tried to make as comprehensive as possible.
I feel that the audience of the sources is also relevant here; the coverage is not only limited to local news but features national and even some international coverage.
It is also my opinion that this venue has had a significant and demonstrable effect on Newcastle’s nightlife culture and national profile as a glamorous location. I say this because celebrities were simply not seen out in the city prior to it’s opening (a cursory internet search reveals this). The inference being that Newcastle as a city did not have a bar / nightclub of sufficient calibre to attract such celebrities.
I hope you agree there are now enough sources cited to demonstrate that the subject is genuinely notable, but I will of course take your guidance on that or any other improvements that you feel I could make. Laurahartley (talk) 17:36, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

MassCEC article submission
editHi Sister Twister,
Thanks for your feedback. I want to let you know I spent a lot of time searching for sources outside of MassCEC, and was only able to find independent information primarily through the legislation that led to its inception, and content that partners and affiliated groups had put out. I used the NYSERDA, New York State Energy Research Development Authority, as a commensurate article and noticed they have similar sources and style of writing. While I can see why it appears to be written as an advertisement, this is what the organization does, as reported by them and every third party resource I could find.
Please let me know your thoughts on this and maybe provide a specific example of how I could fix it. Please feel free to edit yourself, as MassCEC has national and international recognition and certainly deserves an article. Side note, should it matter that MassCEC expressed opposition to a Wikipedia publication on them? Also something to consider.
Thank you for your time.
Hi SwisterTwister,

I've added since few dozen secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject and I improved the PubNub submission's referencing.

Bridges Ventures
editHi SwisterTwister,
Thanks for your help. My page is still being rejected unfortunately, even though it has citations from respectable sources (Published non-fiction, government reports, UK Cabinet Office website, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Wharton School of Business (U.Penn), Businesweek - none of which publish anything other than their own opinion), plus many more. Do I need to add more?
Re the topic of my post not being notable, I am not sure why this is being cited as a reason for the post being rejected - Wikipedia has itself created a Category called 'Private equity firms of the United Kingdom', which has over 50 posts listed under it (many of which have 0 references), so this topic is notable by Wikipedia's own standards.
Would it help if I deleted some of the text from the post?

Hi SwisterTwister,
I’d love to appeal for the Bridges Ventures post. I believe this post is a notable for the following reasons:
The organisation has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the firm (Times, Telegraph, Guardian, the UK Government, published non-fiction) – “Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability.”
Bridges plays a large role in the growth of the impact investment sector in the UK, in terms of both practice and research. Sustainable and impact investing is a growing financial sector which combines philanthropy and private equity. We are also at the forefront of the growth of sector in Latin America.
Bridges is an educational provider, the first in the world to offer global sustainable and impact investing training, in partnership with an American ivy league.
Are all of these reason not enough??

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vu Digital (2nd nomination), you wrote "Delete for now" and the AfD was closed as "delete". At Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 November 30#Vu Digital, I asked for the community's permission to restore the history under the redirect so I can merge material to C Spire Wireless, the parent company.
I will only merge material sourced to TechCrunch, Mississippi Business Journal, Broadcasting & Cable, and The Clarion-Ledger, which all pass Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. I will not merge any material sourced only to press releases or sources that fail Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Would you support this? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 19:15, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- Sure Cunard. SwisterTwister talk 19:18, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, SwisterTwister! Would you comment about your thoughts about my proposal at the DRV, so editors know that as a "delete" participant, you are open to undeleting the history to facilitate a merge? Cunard (talk) 19:22, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- You wrote, "Restore and merge if it is actually beneficial as a merge can be made even if the article will still be deleted." Per Wikipedia:Merge and delete, a merge requires that the attribution history of an article be preserved.
Do you mean "Restore and merge if it is actually beneficial as a merge can be made even if the article will still be redirected." instead? Cunard (talk) 19:36, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

After adding countless citations, links to verifiable sources, etc. there still seems to be issue with this submission. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Steve_Sinnicks
The artist has been featured on CBC (National News & Information), The Hamilton Spectator (major market newspaper, part of the national chain Metroland Media), won Hamilton Music Awards for "Recording Of The Year" twice, City of Hamilton Arts Award for "Established Artist", played and recorded with many other major artists - who also play and appear on his recordings, interviewed and reviewed in national music magazines (Exclaim! and Chart Attack), played at major events and festivals including the nationally noted NXNE and Canada Music Week and charted on independent radio stations across the country.
These all fit the definitions and guidelines for both notability and "reputable sources, independent of the topic/subject".

The info received was that the USCG Counterintelligence Service is not notable. it is a US government intelligence agency and that is notable enough. In addition, I provided the link and bio for the current Director of that agency.
Please assist in helping to create this page as it is a known US agency within the USCG.
Thank you.

Ronnie Apteker
editHi Sister Twister
I have made a few amendments to the Ronnie Apteker - removed perceived promotional tone and added two good refs from Forbes magazine and Cape Times. I am still a little perturbed regarding your comments re Internet Solutions and R.A - the former is a piece of corporate promotional tripe with little merit, whereas Ronnie Apteker has surely a much greater claim to notability. See also his former partner's page - David Frankel - another piece of self-promotion that seems to have escaped the editor's attention. Surely this idea of one rule for one and another rule for another is not only unfair to contributors but damages Wikipedia's credibility? Picknick99 (talk) 19:23, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

SisterTwister, I am miffed!
I believe I have offered everything you asked for and been true to the golden rule.
- Significance: 36 references in a 370 word entry; I challenge any other business's wikipedia entry to match that rate of links to words. Software that runs 70%+ of US TV stations. Four funding rounds.
- Reliable and Independent Sources: My 36 citations come from 18 discrete and totally legitimate media sources.
In addition, I have avoided marketing fluff, provided a whole lot of internal wiki links, and avoided the usual business rathole of trying to get in every last bit of history of product development, executive hires and so forth. Like these guys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janrain or this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIT_Digital

Hi SwisterTwister, aren't Floridas three largest newspapers Suns Sentinel, Palm Beach Post and the Florida Business Journal very valid sources? If you google the five year old company you will find a lot about them all over the news: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22yachtico%22&tbm=nws since the beginning in 2011. What further sources would you recommend for citiation? There is also on of the founders and key people who has his own Wikipedia page.
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Denny Somach, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! --Moonriddengirl (talk)
Dear SwisterTwister, Thanks for your review. The first reviewer told me: 'Please provide more references. This is a good draft, but it needs more sources.' So I did, and you wrote, 'Not entirely commenting about its notability but this will need any more available sources overall.'
Maybe you could say more directly what you are missing? Or is it an option to make the article shorter (just mention data and the most important projects)? I would really like to complete this article about an inspiring Dutch architect.

Thank you for your review SwisterTwister. I do understand the purpose of wikipedia and have no intention to making an advertisement there. Yet somehow I cannot understand the difference between my submission and for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Yachting_Association, which is basically very similar organization. I can delete some adjectives like „successfully”, but this will only steal information from the submission. Where does advertisement start? I’m not telling there that the organization is super, extra, wonderful and beautiful. But I do want to mention achievements and describe the scope of activity.
What kind of reliable, published sources can you find on the RYA entry, apart for the material produced by the creator? Mine submission has at least some sources other than that.

Notability: Agarwal Packers and Movers
editHi Swister Twister, I wanted to get your advice after your review of the article. Am I flogging a dead horse here? I thought I had enough to get the article over the line but I guess that wasn't your take on it. I know the removalist industry is not that exciting a starting point for creating a Wikipedia career and I've spent so much time learning about it and reading articles about it that I'm reluctant to give up on it....I think there are cruddier less deserving articles that have been accepted into Wikipedia (though admitted I haven't seen one for a while). But there does reach a point where I may need to be told if the subject matter is inherently un-notable and is never going to make it, so that I can find a new hobby to write about. Anyway, your feedback would be great. Where am I going wrong? Or is because the topic is salted due to previous puff pieces being done? (not sure if you knew this, but I found some of the history...and this topic has had some really crap articles written for it). Cheers Alokibees (talk) 05:34, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

9 December 2015 - notability requirements for AfC by Kentunderstand
editHi SwisterTwister - thanks for taking another look at my submission. I'm puzzled about the notability requirements. As there are four separate articles from TechCrunch, and another from Bloomberg Business, I'm not sure what kind of coverage would be better - any advice?
Kentunderstand (talk) 13:30, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
I'm sending this message trying to figure out why my submission for wikipedia was declined. It was cited for lack of notability. I am somewhat confused, as the four other Defense Security Cooperation Agency (Part of US Dept of Defense) regional centers (George C. Marshall Center for European Security Studies, Near East South Asia Center for Security Studies, Africa Center for Security Studies, and the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies have entries in wikipedia, and some of them have even less reference material that is even valid.
Would adding more references to the entry help with the submission? If so, what sort of references would be suggested?
Thank you for your help.

editThank you for taking the time to review the page I created. In your comments you asked that I "Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia." The film I have created the page for premiered at the Austin Film Festival, has been picked up for distribution, and will be available on iTunes, Amazon, and Netflix, starting in February. I have several more sources of information I can include for references but because the film has not yet premiered widely I do not have national critic reviews just yet. I can link to the film's website and imdb page, would that help? My main question is what I do now to get the page created?

01:47:43, 10 December 2015 review of submission by Chis Maxwell
edit- Chis Maxwell (talk · contribs)
I note my article on James Chisholm (Senior) has been rejected based on a lack of notability ["While most historical subjects are accepted, I'm simply not seeing the solid notability here"], suggesting the addition of more (independent) secondary sources and improvement of referencing. I have currently included some 40 primary sources in this article. With very few exceptions, the only major second source is the biography of the man's life that has just been published (The Merchant of Sydney). At the launch of this book, Emeritus Professor Brian Fletcher, one of Australia's most distinguished historians of early colonial history, said it was extraordinary that such a prominent colonial identity had, to date, "slipped through the historian's net" and had "been sorely neglected for some two centuries". As Professor Fletcher says, James Chisholm has been largely ignored for more than 200 years, and yet he was the equal of many who already feature strongly in the articles of Wikipedia, and certainly exceeds many others in notability. He was a major early entrepreneur and merchant; responsible. possibly only secondary to Robert Campbell, for opening up significant trade with Bengal; he owned a large area of the early town of Sydney; he was selected by Governor Macquarie as a member of his Governor's Court (apart from the Judge Advocate, there was only one other member); he owned the first Bank of New South Wales of which he was a founding shareholder and Director; and he was widely acclaimed as one of Sydney's most respected early citizens. He has been neglected by history because he was a modest man who did not promote himself, and did not leave a collection of documents. I have tried to avoid rhetoric and stuck to the facts. I am able to add many more primary sources to this article, if this is required. However, the only other secondary sources that mention him are already cited. Can you please advise on how I should proceed? With thanks Chis Maxwell
This person is IMHO certainly notable, as a director of major movies (see The Cruise (1970 film), the red links in the article need some redirects). Also, note the entry at [7]. It is my opinion that for biographies of Polish artist, having an article about oneself at culture.pl is a sufficient criteria for being notable (reliable in-depth coverage); culure.pl IMHO is akin to an online encyclopedia of Polish culture. If there are any other bios by that editor you'd like me to review, let me know, I looked at one more and it appears notable. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:26, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

This article is written by a student of mine, and I think it's a notable topic - the article already cites three newspapers (one in English) that focus on the festival. GNews search also brings up [8]. Google shows it has an entry on English language Korean government official tourism site, [9]. There is stuff like [10]. I think the topic is notable enough for a "recurring event" (Wikipedia:Notability (events), and although I am a bit biased (my student), you know I am also not the one to promote spam... so could you reconsider your decline here? We could take it to AfD, if you'd insist. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:20, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

- Hello Piotrus, I've been busy around here and frankly I also haven't been motivated as usual here (because of some uncomfortable events recently), but I would say it's best to work and make the current article better before we take it to AfD (unless you want others to comment, for that matter). I would also say drafting and userfying is an option for now. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 07:14, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- Sam, could you do me a favor and move it to the mainspace (merging article histories), and if you want, take it to AfD then? I think it's notable as it is, and I don't think more work is needed here (for proving notability). The only problem I see is that the student, without asking, worked on it in the annoying draft userspace, rather then in Sandboxes. I find drafts very bad - they let through a ton of spam, and then add a layer of bureaucracy on the good articles like this. If I knew how that damn system works, I'd have approved it myself, but I am stuck having to ask somebody familiar with this (you or DGG) to mainspace the article. Once it is there, again, feel free to AfD it if you feel this needs further review. Thanks, PS. Don't let the wikistress get to you. In the past the best remedy for me was to ignore flamewars and just write some new content. DYK something and you'll feel better. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:19, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Article on Anil Gupta
editHi SwisterTwister. Thanks on your previous reviews of the article. I've added more links to primary sources as well as a section, with links, on discussions of Gupta's work.
I feel I need to add that the notability of contemporary authors who work in technical fields such as logic often does not correspond with a high online presence or linkable articles in news outlets. In all honesty, I really think that, within the discipline in which Gupta works, the article in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on the Revision Theory suffices to show his notability: he developed an original theory of truth which is a rival of theories proposed by people like Kripke. That alone is a major contribution achieved by very few people who work in the discipline. I recognize the importance of Wikipedia's notability criteria, however, and hope that I have now done enough to show Gupta's notability. I hope you'll have time to look over the draft again; I look forward to your feedback.

WP:Proposed deletion
editTa for the Thanks but really, you shouldn't encourage me. Prod-2 is - at best - a good babysteps exercise for wannabe serious deleters; for me its a notorious timewaster and a terrible temptation to exercise the sort of concise honesty that pisses the admins right off. I just held back from this (an SPA about his aristocratic name, who'll write an article on every family member that ever had a job if we let it) because its 4 days ago and its all of course entirely pointless. Just amusing myself for the risk of the getting told off by the po-faced twat doing the deletion. But then, if I did make you smile, it was worth it. All the best.

Could you pick out a specific sentence or paragraph and tell me what kind of citation it needs? Thanks. I really appreciate your help. Otherbin (talk) 06:25, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- Otherbin Simply needs any more available sources as mentioned as I'm simply not convinced all of the listed ones fully satisfy and suggest notability. SwisterTwister talk 06:28, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
ODNB
editI noticed [11]. But a full article in DNB has been regarded in many AfD decisions as proof of notability, even without anything else--and in fact we have many bio articles based on it alone. The same is true for similarly selective national bibliographies of other countries. DGG ( talk ) 17:23, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

In reference to the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Zesty.io, I've taken your suggestions into consideration and added several more credible sources over the past month or so.

What facts have I to refer with which kind of sources?
editHi Dear! I am working at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Form . I just deleted all refs to make them again. Please, explain in several words, which facts i can refer with official program website, for example, and what with third-party articles, and etc... have i to refer simply each sentence? i am trying to do it in the way like other programs are described. I have a lot of information about what i write, but don't understand which one to use in the certain sentence... Also, could I rename Draft:Form to Draft:QForm, because the program i write about is QForm, not Form - i didnt name it so. Also, can i use russian sources to refer? Thank you a lot.

Hello
editFrom what I understand the problem is that you consider the page to be advertising and it contains no references. While I do work in the marketing department of the company I should point out the pages were not meant as advertising, and apologize if it seemed that way. They were written just to offer people a simpler way to get information about the subjects. While we are trying to provide people with a service to reduce invisible lost time the page doesn’t refer to our product, nor does it point to it since there is quite a few companies with similar products. It only points out that it was first developed and used by Statoil and TDE, which is understandable since our managing director has a doctorate in petroleum engineering and has researched it extensively, the main page for the TDE Group is a brief description of the company and the companies within it.
If you could please just write me what needs to be added/Removed from/to the pages I can do it.

Subject's notability not adequate
editHi SwisterTwister!
Thank you for reviewing my Draft:The 120 Media Collective. I've read the rules and added references from legitimate news websites and press sources to add to the subject's notability. Have deleted a bunch of it due to previous declined submissions. Please could you help suggest what to add to in terms of notability? Have mentioned awards won and the sources are all verifiable too. Would a table of awards work?

Notability Query
editMy page for 'Texas Studies in Literature and Language' was declined owing to lack of notability. I am genuinely puzzled by this rationale, as the journal had a vacant link on the entry for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Texas_Press (where 5 of 11 similar journals already have Wikipedia pages). The journal is one of the oldest continually-published academic journals in the States, and is indexed in all the major places. It is difficult to understand (sincerely) how TSLL is less notable than hundreds of other academic journals that currently have Wikipedia pages.
For the record, here are the other journals that currently possess pages just from this press alone:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_Journal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_%26_Culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_the_History_of_Sexuality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Latin_American_Geography [[12]]
Please let me know how I can highlight TSLL's notability in a manner that equates to the entries above. Thank you! B802818827 (talk) 01:32, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Dear SwisterTwister,
I need, please, a little help in determining how this entry for Lin Wells lacks third-party validation. He's a former Assistant Secretary of Defense, the first Department of Defense CIO, author of several definitive works in defense and humanitarian assistance, and created entire sections of the disaster relief policies that the US Department of Defense now uses in places like the Banda Aceh tsunami, Supertyphoon Haiyan, and Katrina. He lectures governments all over the world and is a personal advisor to Ashraf Ghani, the President of Afghanistan (though we won't mention that in the article), and your Elonka Dunin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elonka_Dunin) asked him at DEFCON in Las Vegas why he didn't have an entry. She has volunteered to talk with anyone about a submission for him but I rather just get it right on my own. I've admired him for years and took this on voluntarily as a gesture of respect, but I seem to be messing it up. Based on the September rejection I've contributed quite a few third-party references. What's missing that might help?
To be clear, I'm not objecting to the rejection - I'm trying to accept your critique. But it seems I need a little help. Thanks for your advice.

Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold page
editHello SwisterTwister,
Thank you very much for posting the article I submitted, Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold.
I want to note that I am an employee of Manifest, a marketing agency representing Abbott Vascular. I have made some edit requests on the Talk pages of other stent-related Wikipedia pages, and a disclaimer has appeared with those requests (see, for example, Talk:Percutaneous coronary intervention). There is a mention of my affiliation on the talk page of the new Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold article (somehow this was copied over from a posting I made on "Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Medicine").
But please let me know if you advise that I should add any specific disclaimer information on the new Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold article. We want to ensure that we are compliant with Wikipedia requirements.
Thank you again.
Ronnie Apteker
editHello SisterTwister. I have tried to make contact a couple of times to ask for help and advice, but so far no response. I wanted to tell you that a) I added some further refs to the page and b), more surprisingly, I see that a Ronnie Apteker page was created as long ago as 2010 and voted a 'Keep' after someone questioned notability. It seems unusual that a page would be deemed ok five years ago, but not today when so many improvements have been made to it. Can't we all stick by the rules and the decisions? I am puzzled as to why the Ronnie Apteker page was turned into a Redirect to Internet Solutions, and yet no mention is made on Apteker on that page, which seems a pretty dumb use of a redirect.

COI tag on Maryann Krieglstein Comment
editThank you for taking the time to review this article and publish it out of Articles for Creation. I'm curious about your interpretation of the COI tag. Specifically, if you think the peer review from the Articles for Creation process is sufficient to remove it or if further peer review is necessary. Or if it should remain indefinably.
On a side note: I think this process worked great for COI publishing and we should recommend anyone trying to push a COI article to go to AFC for support and peer review. I've already started doing so with new editors. Of course, only after pointing them to the COI literature about what is appropriate.

Brighton Festival Chorus
editHi David, Thanks for reviewing my draft submission. Regarding the notability of the subject, I've checked the Wikipedia:Notability (music) guidelines, and I think Brighton Festival Chorus meets the criteria for musicians and ensembles, specifically meeting the following criteria:
- 5. Has released two or more albums on a major record label
- As you'll see from the selected discography, BFC has released albums on many major labels
- 7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city
- I've added a reference to a newspaper article concerning BFC's place in the music scene of Brighton
- 8 Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
- Recordings featuring BFC has been nominated for 2 Grammy awards (references provided)
I hope this helps. I'll have a look to see if I can find any other relevant references, and then I'll resubmit. Thanks, Kevin Callagkm (talk) 13:53, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the review!
Type of information about the Ontario Games is very similar to the Canada Games. To understand what is required is it just more information and links to things about the Ontario Games? The Games are in the process of transition, the rights holder of the Games - Sport Alliance Ontario went bankrupt in April - there are news articles about that can be referenced. Current rights holders - the Government of Ontario does not have information listed on their website about the Games so it is hard to reference it. Additionally, information about past Ontario Games can be difficult to find since websites usually shut down shortly after the Games complete.
If it is simply getting more references, I can do a complete search but want to know I am close.
Thanks for all the help!
I received a message that the subject could not be created because the topic was not notable even though it is a US government agency tasked with national security as part of the Intelligence Community (IC). I provided several references but I am confused as to what I need to complete this report. Any assistance is appreciated.
Also, I created a previous entry, the Massachusetts Probation Service (MPS) and I have some clipart that I wanted to add tot he page but don't know how to add photos?
Thank you.

- VicFury, the problem is not that it isn't notable, but, as the notice says, that it didn't have sufficient references to show notability.

Could I double check the astronomy articles you've reviewed for anything you might've missed?
editUser:JHRock put the hoax template on an erroneous article that he created 6 minutes earlier and never came back. He also changed 2 correct letters in an infobox which changed it from okay to tens of billions of times too bright. He put KKR 25's (dimmer) blue magnitude in an infobox that doesn't accept absmag_b. I don't know what the heck he's doing. Both of those articles you reviewed had numerical errors you didn't notice so maybe there's more out there? Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 04:19, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
- Sagittarian Milky Way I looked through all of his contributions quite fast as there aren't many to begin with but the current articles, whether entirely accurate or not, seem notable and acceptable.

Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 04:24, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
- They're fine now because I fixed them. Apparent magnitude -10 is about the brightness of the half moon so if a galaxy had that brightness it would cast shadows at night. If you saw any other recently born articles of galaxies over several hundred thousand light years wide or apparent magnitudes smaller than 10 (like -10) then those are likely fake. Absolute magnitudes however should be negative because those are how bright they'd look if every star were 10 parsecs away — far, far closer than any galaxy. If you didn't then I guess it might be okay now. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 04:56, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Would you mind elaborating on why you don't think that draft meets WP:GNG? Your comment on the draft says that there's not much to suggest notability "aside from getting some expected coverage for controversies". What I would like to know is why the controversies have to be tossed aside when considering his notability.

Heyo SwisterTwister and Merry Christmas :) I hope everything is well. The draft clearly meets #5 of WP:PROF which states: Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. Goodrich is a professor at Harvard Medical School and the sources (including the official Harvard website) confirm it. Even if any article contains only primary sources (which isn't the case here), there is no need of additional sources as long as facts like that are established and I would appreciate if you would reconsider.

This is a developing topic with few scientific references yet. Bennett's article has been well received:

More information can be found in Schneier's book.
https://www.schneier.com/books/data_and_goliath/
I could add that reference.
Bennett has at least two more papers on this topic specifically: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2605183 http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2279920 I haven't read them, so, I'd prefer others to add these references later.
As for notability, there is already an article on voter databases. Voter surveillance takes this to a new level. Here are some press outlets reporting on the issue. I left these reference out to avoid controversy, as it directly relates to the upcoming elections in the US. Would you prefer me to put them in?

I'm curious as to how many reference one needs for an artist's listing... Ms Mailman was involved in the Sister Chapel a significant women's art event of the 70's, as well as being a founder of SoHo20, both referenced here on Wiki.... Also had major work destroy in WTC attack, also referenced right here on Wiki.... You advice on how to improve this will be appreciated. RS

editUnprotected now. I'm not an expert on the notability of YouTubers, but it shouldn't be a candidate for the speedy deletion that befell its predecessors, could be AfDed i suppose, but looks OK to me Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:09, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
You accepted this AfC despite it having been declined twice [15][16] and the IP editor tendentiously removing prior declined reviews four times [17][18][19][20] with no change in the article prior to doing so. Were you aware of this? Since you accepted the article, it has been tagged for AfD, which of course the IP editor is edit warring to remove [21]. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:05, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
It looks like you approved this article at AfC but perhaps didn't remove the main template from the article? (Not sure if you wanted to tag the talk page or notify the submitter either) czar 16:15, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
The proposed article on Yehuda Atai
editHi David, Following your decline and suggestions of the draft for the proposed page 'Yehuda Atai', we have added links to further evidence the reception of Dr. Atai's books in the Israeli media, and for some of the participants in the recent symposium on his philosophical writing, who are themselves well established in Israel's cultural and intellectual life. We have also added more references about the reception and discussion of his political work. There are quite a lot of links to Dr. Atai's appearances on radio and TV relating to his poetry and to his activism. I hope the improvements are sufficient for you to accept it: I am resubmitting it. Many thanks and happy new year. Very best, (Mark Joseph (talk) 18:36, 27 December 2015 (UTC))

Can you clarify notability requirements for Draft:Daniel_N._Baker?
Per the cited official source, he holds the Distinguished Professor title at University of Colorado Boulder, and therefore should qualify under WP:PROF, unless Wikipedia don't consider UCB to be a "major university". Is the latter the issue? UCB is in the top-50 in the respected Shanghai Index of universities internationally, and also in the Wikipedia list of US research institutions. Did UCB not make the "major university" cut, or was there another issue? If UCB is considered not a "major university" despite its Shanghai Index ranking, can WP provide guidance on where the cut-off it, approximately?
If WP doesn't accept that he hold Distinguished Prof title at major research university, then he should qualify based on his h-index. He has a lot of Google scholar publications, but hasn't set up a profile. Google scholar searches should not be cited (probably because Google doesn't allow archiving). There are non-profiles on ResearchGate that could be used to establish his h-index & citation count. Judging from the number of citations on Wikipedia alone, it will be very high. Will adding a citation to one of these sources be helpful, or is it a separate issue?

Random AfD question...
editHello! I've got a random question for you – do you have any idea why this isn't showing up at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Television, etc.? I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong with my use of the {{Delsort}} template... Thanks in advance! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- So, do listings have to be done manually then? – using {{Delsort}} doesn't list it for you automatically? (TIA...) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:55, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- IJBall Often it will be listed (automatically, that is, I myself always list it automatically) but at times and I suspect when it never went through completely, it may not be listed. I've also been noticing a few more timing troubles here at WP recently (particularly at AfC). Cheers, SwisterTwister talk

Problem with your AFC Accept process
editHi SwisterTwister, I've noticed quite a few new article acceptances by you, using the AFCH script, have been incomplete. The Accept routine of the script seems to fail - it doesn't add WikiProject banners to the Talk page and it doesn't clean up the AFC templates and related bits and pieces from the article page itself nor does it add any article categories. Here are a couple of examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dimini%C4%87i&oldid=696958645 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_NWA_Smoky_Mountain_Wrestling_alumni&oldid=696399468 - The result is that some (all?) of your "Accepts" are ending up in Category:Pending AfC submissions in article space where I find them and then try to clean them up. Are you definitely using the current version of the script? Does it never give you an error message when accepting a submission? Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Dodger67: several of us have tried to draw ST's attention to this. My hypothesis is that they run too fast, not allowing the process to complete before closing the tab with the script running in it. I have seen this happen before when a reviewer is working very quickly and becomes impatient to get to the next draft. The script declares its own version and they seem to be using the current version. Fiddle Faddle 12:37, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Dodger67:, @Timtrent: yup. Put me in that list of people as well.Naraht (talk) 17:49, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- Dodger67 Timtrent I never get any "error" message and everything seems to work aside from that. I've also noticed the reviewing bar will not work with some and I have to wait until later or if someone else reviews that particular draft. I've noticed it definitely seems I'm not the only one experiencing this. SwisterTwister talk 18:20, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- Indeed you are not the only one. You simply seem to suffer it most often. There are no error messages shown when this happens. This is why I am suggesting that you may close the window or tab in which you are reviewing too quickly. It appears that the helper script requires the tab to be open for the entirety of the processing it needs to perform, or the processing is truncated.
- If you notice a repeatable issue with the script it would be a kindness to report it on the relevant discussion page, though. Such issues are 'not working' Fiddle Faddle 18:25, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

RE: Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program
I am unconvinced by your determination that our residency is not "notable". I listed 38 references to our program in my recent submission and they all appear to reliable. The Santa Fe New Mexican, The Albuquerque Journal, Art in America are all long established publications of very credible reputations. There is a book published regarding our history listed in the Library of Congress. Any Artist-in-Residence Program that has been offering all-expense paid, one-year residencies for fifty years is, by definition "notable". How many times does a subject need to be referenced in Wikipedia before there needs to be a page on that subject? Because we are referenced in Wikipedia many times. Does it have something to do with our program only serving visual artists? I noticed that other residencies who support writers get far more attention from your editors. Could it be that editors lean towards words rather than images? Also, what do we make of entries like: Surel’s Place, Ucross, or Village of the Arts? Anyone in the visual arts would hardly consider these as more notable than the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program. Ask any authority within the Visual Arts if you need convincing. Another odd example is Djerassi. A fine residency yes, but this is the only "reference" for their entry: "Kendzulak, Susan. "Fine Art: The Djerassi Artists Residency". About.com". Come on, About.com? One web reference and that's it? Yet we list many references and you insist that we are not "notable" enough. Is it that you don't believe that our area of the southwest and its publications are credible? Perhaps you need to pass me on to someone with a background in the "visual arts". Also, I noticed there is something called WikiProjects United States and that New Mexico is one of those states. Are we more notable in that context? I notice that you have a nice entry for the Roswell Museum and Art Center which is our original parent institution. Their list of references actually uses our website as a reference for their notability! (see #3)If we are not notable, how can they use us as a reference for their notability?

And, I can't help pointing out, that their references are, by your standards, remarkably thin. I mean, the Roswellastronomyclub.com ? Really? Also the article references the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program by name: "In 1967, the Roswell Artist-in-Residence program was established through the support of local artist and philanthropist Donald B. Anderson. The first Artist-in-Residence was American painter and Taos resident, Howard Cook" But there is no link to us because you say we are not notable. Rather than take up more of your time with other examples, of which there are many, I'm asking that you reconsider you decision to reject our page.

I think I understand. Do you mean reliable sources? I've gone back and done some more research and added in several additional sources. These include The Times and City A.M., as well as some regional and local newspapers. There are now 18 sources listed, which include national newspapers (Express, Telegraph, The Times, This Is Money/Daily Mail), Local/regional newspapers (Bournemouth Echo, Bucks Free Press, City A.M., Oxford Times, Salisbury Journal, Wetherby News), Local government (Adur & Worthing Council, Winchester Council), and Industry publications (Best Companies, Construction News, Estate Agent Today, Gazette Series, Housebuilder & Developer, and Seniors Housing). I have omitted additional sources like other local and regional publications because I feel that would just be duplicating the ones already listed, but they are available, if needs be. Perhaps you can give your thoughts when possible. Thank you Fbell74 (talk) 03:21, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
It looks like you're quite busy with queries at the moment, so I'll just resubmit the revised article and see how it goes. However, if you get an opportunity, please do respond in any case. Thanks 112.205.196.224 (talk) 02:46, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply on the article page. I've responded there, but for clarity am including the response here as well -
- "I could include more information on their property developments in various locations. Do you think that would speak to notability? I could try and put together a breakdown of their geographical spread in the UK as well. Would that help?" Fbell74 (talk) 04:52, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment on the article page. I agree with you that including additional sources that relate to the company's developments may not add to the article, as there are several of these already included. The company is mentioned in articles in such newspapers as the Times, Express, Telegraph and Guardian, and I've included these in the article already. So, source material isn't an issue, I would think. The company lies just outside the Top 250 privately held companies in the UK (about £8M less in turnover than the 250th, which has £147.7M in turnover [I can provide a source for this]). It's also been ranked as one of the top 50 small companies to work for in the UK by the Sunday Times. Would that not be sufficient in terms of notability? Fbell74 (talk) 07:04, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Also, I noticed that a competitor (McCarthy & Stone) has had an article published. While the latter is a bigger organisation the two can be considered rivals and the other article also has far fewer sources and those that are included are from a much narrower range than the Churchill Retirement Living article. With this in mind, do you think the article merits approval? Thank you Fbell74 (talk) 06:27, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
Many thanks, and a tiny inquiry
editHello, sir.
First of all I'd like to thank you for patrolling my page Huzama Habayeb; I highly appreciate it.
I have an inquiry, too; and I hope you'll be able to help me out. After I had created the page in English, I joined the Arabic part of Wikipedia to create an Arabic counterpart of the English page. I saw a translation tool that would allow me to directly create the page, add the references, media, and every other component in the page automatically; and I simply needed to just translate the text. I started doing that, but I when I was finished and published the article, I found out that every time I needed to edit something it would have to be reviewed by someone to be published although the page is mine. I didn't face this problem while I was creating the English page. And now, there are numerous edits and tonnes of additions that I've already made in the Arabic page but they need to be reviewed. Unfortunately, however, the guys at the Arabic version of Wikipedia are not that active.
What I want to kindly ask you is: first, would it be possible for you to approve my edits or does it have to be someone from the Arabic Wikipedia staff? and second, why is this happening in the first place? It's me who created the page; I should be able to edit however I like and the changes should be instantaneous—and that was the case while I was creating the English page—and then eventually, some editor would go through the whole thing and patrol the page, right?
Thanks in advance, sir.

Thank you for reviewing the page. I am wondering what I need to add?
The oil and gas exploration industry has many different players and in order to understand the full picture it is important to be aware of the small players too--especially now while oil prices are low many small companies that are well leveraged are able to buy development acreage/wells that were disproportionately priced previously. That makes many small companies key players in the oil and gas industry, as well as key players in America's economy since they are providing investment opportunities and providing extra tax income to states.
Also, in comparison to some other Wikipedia oil and gas company pages such as Vaalco Energy, the Gulf Coast Western page has many more references as well as links to other educational Wiki pages--proving it's activities and importance.

I read the "Notability" guideline and thought that my article meets the criteria, including a national art competition winner (bronze medal out of 1.2 billion place), substantial coverage (newspapers, magazine, WEDU-Arts Plus, a PBS series, museum art shows, etc.) and a creative professional.

Thanks for the review SwisterTwister,
I had tried to submit a page on the New Swears and it was rejected twice for the same reasoning despite ensuring that the criteria were met.
Effort was made to capture the bands notability i.e. 2 albums on independent lables, independent reviews, performed in world renowned events, international concerts, etc.
I tried to make every single statement verifiable by at least one entirely independent reference so that all references were verifiable and support the bands notability..
Can you please clarify where the page needs improvement. Thank you very much, Mark
Mika Toba notability
editHi, you turned down the Draft:Mika Toba with the following reason: "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia."
But... there's 5 references, including 3 articles specifically about her and her art in Japanese national dailies, plus the VietNamNet source (which isn't a source I'm familiar with) and the magazine in-depth interview. I don't see what more you could ask of when the notability article plainly states "they [should]have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." 126.59.94.42 (talk) 06:24, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello,
We released Verigreen to promote the usage of gated check-in (commit) concept in the development industry. I'm struggling with which additional verifiable citations you require - I've added citations from Microsoft, JetBrains and Jenkins CI (CloudBees), all concerning the gated check-in concept. We're a tool promoting this way of developing code. How is that different from any other 3rd party tool (especially open-source ones) that are on Wikipedia? How is that different from Git, Jenkins, Docker or any other such tool already present in Wikipedia? I feel this is kind of a chicken and an egg - to raise awareness we need more sources. To get more sources, we need to raise awareness. I think Wikipedia is a good platform to raise the awareness and even a discussion (by editing) of the concepts.
I would really appreciate some pointers into which kind of citations would be acceptable.
Thanks in advance!
ThalionSES (talk) 06:35, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- I understand ThalionSES but for the article to be fully confirmable as an article and safe from any deletion attempts questioning notability, the sourcing needs to be more adequate (six (6) is acceptable sometimes but in this case, it may need some more).

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to review my draft of Logz.io. I'm sure you get a lot of angry messages from people asking, "Why was my draft rejected?!" -- this is definitely not one of them. :)
I was just curious because I looked at the Wikipedia page of Loggly, another company in the industry, and the length of the content and the number and quality of the sources were similar. So, is there another way that I could improve the article?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Quick question
editI see you review a lot of the articles I create so thought I would check with you first for some advice. I was reviewing an article and thought it to be a content fork so I looked further. I discovered the article was created by an editor who also created two other articles that could also possibly be considered content forks as there is already an article they could be included in. Once thing that is common to all three articles is there is a link to the same website in all three. The website is a local business that is no where near a reliable source. Is it common for people to create articles simply to try to gain a backlink from Wikipedia or it more common that people go to articles already created to add a link? --CNMall41 (talk) 10:52, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you for the reply. There are other sources for this individual, such as some print magazine articles and mentions, but not sure how to site those sources. Also, could you be more specific about what kind of general "available coverage overall" you mean? I think I'm confused on what else needs to be included in order for this article to accepted. If you could tell me what other articles need to be included I could search for those specifically. Thank you for your help. :)

Vital Danza rejection
editHi David,
I am very new to wikipedia and I would like to know why my article doesn't reach the general guidelines of notability. I was wondering how I could use my sources better as well. I don't have many sources in english, my subject has been covered more in finland, Japan and spain. I have a reference from a news programme in the Canary islands as well. Can I use citations from there? or do they have to be printed sources? Anyway, I just need some general advice for my article as there is so much information to swallow on the website. I feel a bit lost. I would really love for my first article to be on the wikipedia. Thank you so much for your help.

edit
I was asked as to why a separate article is necessary when there are pages on multidimensional signal processing and wavelets. I have a couple of things to say in this regard:
From wikipedia, there are also different pages on all different types of wavelet transforms (CWT, DWT). I wanted to put them all together for the multidimensional case because they are more closely related and one is necessary to explain another. Also, there is the new technique of Hypercomplex wavelet transform for multidimensional signals. Research is still active in that field and there is not a lot I could write about it in the encyclopedic format in a totally other article.
I could also provide more sources for this but I do strongly believe that a new article is necessary.

Hi SwisterTwister, I've added a number of links to articles on Maj Gen Purdon, including BBC articles, the Times, and BBC Radio Ulster interviews. Maj Gen Purdon has a very long and notable life story, but I'm not a military historian - my intention is to get the basic page up and running and then engage with military historians to get the other details of his exploits documented. Is that a reasonable approach?

Gill Fielding - Notability
editThank you for your attention to my proposed article for Gill Fielding. I have taken into consideration your comments and added a further two independent sources. One is from the Telegraph, featuring a preview of the television programme for which Gill is mainly known. I hope that, together with the existing Times and BBC references that this will be enough to establish notability. I have also added an additional reference from a local newspaper (The Worthing Herald). I hope that the fact that she is respected by that local news outlet as an expert in the field will add weight to my case for Gill's notability. I will resubmit shortly. If you feel this is still not enough, please would you give me some advice. If it is purely a case of numbers I'm sure I can trawl for a few more sources but if it's something else please let me know and I will address it. Thanks again.

Hello there! I am hoping to get a better idea of what I'd need to do to provide enough sources for the page for Yvonne Healy I've been working on. My instinct is not to overwhelm the entry with a number of redundant articles, but I certainly can cite more articles that back up the information. (It is my first time working on Wikipedia so I appreciate all help/time/criticism very much)
Also, as a point of curiosity, this wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Rocha is the one that I started out using as a sample, given the shared profession, so I just wonder how that article passed but mine doesn't.

editI believe Max L. Lacayo is a notable writer because he has been featured in Newspaper article in the most prestigious Nicaraguan newspaper La Prensa. His books have been presented at the Nicaraguan Institute of Hispanic Culture Organization sponsored by the government of Spain. A video of that presentation was uploaded to youtube by a former president of Nicaragua Enrique Bolanos as you can see in reference number 7. The international journalist and writer María Lourdes Pallais has reviewed his book in La Prensa as you can see in reference number 8. In other references you can see article written about Max L. Lacayo and his work.

Draft:Emile Rey
editHi David. Thanks for your efforts in reviewing articles, and for your feedback on my latest contribution via WP:AfC. As you'll have seen on the talk page, Emile Rey already has articles on Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish Wikipedia, albeit less well cited than this one. Following your concerns, I decided to delete those first ascents where I had myself added {{cn}}
tags. With these temporarily removed, I suggest the article now better shows the WP:N of this person, and requires no further citations to support this. With a statue erected to his mountaineering achievements, and a major geographic feature in the Alps named after him, and with major first ascents of virgin alpine summits, he is far more significant than many lesser modern mountaineers who have articles based on just one or two new climbing routes. A search on his name within Wikipedia is itself quite revealing. I think the secondary sources I have cited do already demonstrate his wider recognition. The talk page also lists the further contributions I plan to make once this article goes into mainspace. I'd appreciate your further thoughts on this.

Hi SwisterTwister, Thank you for reviewing my submission. In my understanding, you are mainly concerned about no multiple third-party reliable sources. On top of the references listed in the draft, over 30 scientific media published such information. You can find them on dewcomputing.org. These are all third-part reliable sources. Another point I hope you can consider: This article is not about websites or web content, it is about a computer science structure. Please reconsider and tell me your decision. Thanks.

I gather that my submission was rejected because the subject was not notable enough. What can be more notable for a British artist other than to have paintings accepted by the Royal Society of Portrait painters on two consecutive years, and also to have a painting reproduced in a book on British Marine Artists?
What higher achievements are possible?
What should I do to represent his life?
I can take photos of his work through his career and in fact intended including selected ones, particularly the entry in the book, but presumed that the text should be established first.
Please advise.

Hi SwisterTwister,
Thanks for taking the time to review the article.
Could you please let me know exactly what you are looking for in terms of third party sources? I have included plenty of references from newspaper/magazine articles. Could you point out which statements you think are not sufficiently sourced? Maybe for the first draft, I can take those parts out. I assure you that it is a completely legitimate organization, and getting this article published would be a great help to us in our mission to spread awareness about the cause.

Could you please have a look at this existing article about ballerina Irina Dvorovenko (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irina_Dvorovenko)? If you have a look at the sources, they are not much different from mine (which you consider not reliable to comply with actors guidelines). And Sarah Hay in my eyes is as notable as Irina Dvorovenko. So why Irina Dvorovenko wiki page exists and Sarah Hay's is not? Also considering the sources in this article about the series themselves...I don't see how sources here are more reliable than mine?

Hi, Need your help
editHi, I am new to Wikipedia and wrote an article draft Draft:Akshay_Agrawal which you rejected on grounds of being not notable enough. As I saw it, there were copious number of sources. Could you please help me understand what can be done to make it notable ?
- Was it the quality of the sources or the quantity of the sources that was insufficient ?
- Could you provide me a few examples incontext of person biographies that would make it notable ? Like would an article from a REALLY Famous blog do ?
- Would something like a TEDx talk be counted notable? im really lost on what would count as notable in this SPECIFIC case.
Also, I wrote the article because there is another person named Siddharth_Shetty who has similar and almost comparable sources. So that is where i am not able to understand what was wrong. I think this is WP:Other Stuff Exists?

Hello, the draft for Osteoware has been denied again. It was denied on November 1st initially for only having two sources.

FORDISC is a related software used by biological anthropologists (specifically forensic anthropologists) and it has a Wikipedia page. Biological Anthropologists use both FORDISC and Osteoware together when studying skeletal remains. Osteoware is an essential software to the field of biological anthropology and is run by the Smithsonian. I am confused about why it wasn't accepted because the referencing is verifiable and has secondary sources. I really would like to get this topic approved by Wikipedia and have no personal involvement with Osteoware. This is the first article I have tried to create in Wikipedia. Please let me know exactly how I could improve this.
Thank you,

Hi SwisterTwister, since your last comment, even more sources have been added to the references within the draft. Further, the game has now been released globally, accruing over 1million downloads worldwide. The Company as well as the Game have both won awards and contests in the gaming space since 2014 and have been building up a following across their social media channels. Given the latest info, I believe that both the Company as well as the Game are both Notable enough to meet the Wiki guidlines for warranting an article. The article is also very objectively, and clearly not meant for promotional purposes. Could you please kindly approve the article and make the draft live? Thanks!

I've added some more significant references. I would also like some assistance if those do not turn out to be enough.
Hey David,
Thanks for editing my BBGM draft. I was wondering if you could help me with some general issues I've been running into regarding displaying the company's noteworthiness? While I've edited some articles before, this is the first article I've ever created from scratch, so I'm still trying to get the hang of things. The biggest problem I've been experiencing is that even though the firm gets a large amount of coverage, most of it is about the company's architectural projects and not the company itself. For example, they were recently contracted to design the renovations for the Watergate Hotel. Obviously, the Watergate is a pretty a big deal, being both ultra high-luxury and historically significant, so they aren't just going to hire anyone to renovate it. They'd only hire a very well-known and highly-regarded company. All the news related to the topic, however, only focuses on how the Watergate is going to look when it's finished. And last year, Forbes dedicated an entire article to a suite they designed. Not even a hotel, a single suite! But unfortunately, other than trade journals, the news media isn't really all that interested in learning about the guys behind the scenes. BBGM is a big name in the architectural community, and their projects get a lot of media attention from big news sources like The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, etc.. It's just that the company itself isn't really in the public eye all that much. Because of this, it's not easy to fit news related to BBGM into a Wikipedia article about them. Any suggestions on ways I might be able to solve this problem? I'm thinking that maybe if I format the page differently, such as make the "significant projects" section paragraph-form instead of a list, I'll be able to make citations to articles about their projects work more easily within the context of the page. I thought I'd see if you had any suggestions before I tried it out though. Whatever the case, I've added a bunch more references to the page, including two references to Forbes and one to CNBC. I've also added a section about BBGM buildings that have been used as sets for movie. So please let me know if you think those would be enough. I now have more sources cited now than the pages of every other architecture firm in DC combined do. Literally.
Thanks,
Hrboe 18:31, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

EDIT: After speaking to some other members at the Teahouse, I've come to realize that an architectural firm may be more suited to the notability guidelines of Creative Professionals (WP:AUTHOR), rather than those of organizations and companies (WP:CORP), as the "creative professionals" section directly mentions architects.

I don't know of any other sources that would be appropriate to cite at this time. Last week I went to Philadelphia to visit the Sketch Club. They may have more archival material and I have requested information from them. I am also going to verify that Jeannette Hope actually did work that was published in The North American...those materials are available at the Library of Congress. Once I get a chance to see these sources, I will add them.
Tasha Chiu speedy deletion
editHello,
I removed your CSD tag on Tasha Chiu. I think there is substantial doubt about whether this person is sufficiently notable to be in the encyclopedia, but it is not a clear-cut case - there is meaningful coverage of her by an independent source, and honestly even being a TV host in a significant market like Vancouver is probably a credible claim of significance in its own right. It therefore follows that the article is not appropriate for speedy deletion. I suggest taking it to AfD to find out what the community's view of local notability might be in a case such as this.

I am left not really knowing what you want re the Olga Jegunova draft! Of the 12 references 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11 are 3rd part sources. Number 4 is YouTube but are you suggesting this is a fake video?! Number 9 is on her website but it does demonstrate that she had a master class with Andras Schiff, one of the most respected live classical pianists, unless you think this is a fake too! Number 12 is a YouTube video but is from a BBC production - surely the BBC can be accepted as an independent source?!
I really need detailed reasons why you reject this version or otherwise we are both wasting our time!
Help!

Dear SisterTwister. Thank you for your review of Eugene Haynes, a new entry by me (andershoghansen). You asked for more sources overall. However, it has over 10 sources already (and over 20 footnotes). Almost everything you can find on the internet plus additional material from the musuems and interview with curator has been used. The sources are also variedL; journalistic, museum-curatorial texts, letter and diary writing by Haynes himself, an obiturary, and other. I don't think the notability can be questioned. Can you be more specific about where you think sources are missings? Best wishes Anders

Hi again SwisterTwister. I just wrote you and was curious about what other sources, for improving Eugene Haynes. Yet, I find some indications in the draft by you and others I think and have begun complementing the piece with further sources. So thanks again. Anders PS. I am not asking for a re-review or other reviewer, I will add sources and edit, resubmit and see what happens.
Hello SwisterTwister, thank you so much for your review of the NEXTEV Article. Still learning my way around wikipedia one step at at time! I have now looked at the guidelines for notability and properly referenced significant coverage in reliable, independent third party sources. I would be delighted to hear your feedback. Many thanks in advance. Ivan
- Sonofpercy (talk · contribs)
Thank you for the feedback. I have read the Wikipedia advice that you have directed me to, but I am not sure that I can improve the article sufficiently to satisfy you from the sources currently available to me.
I have used secondary sources – newspaper and magazine reviews and books – that are independent of the subject, but when you ask me to improve the submission’s referencing, I am not sure whether you are saying that there are insufficient secondary sources, or whether you are just saying that the citations are inadequate (or perhaps both). If the former, then I will try and find some more sources, but I don’t think that will be easy. If the latter then, having read the advice on citing sources, the only additions that appear to be needed are page numbers. These I can add, as I have copies of the relevant publications, but would that be sufficient? If it is not just page numbers, what more do the citations lack in order to make them verifiable?
If the main reason for not accepting the article is that I have not demonstrated notability sufficiently, then – as I seem to have exhausted the reference sources available to me at the present time – I fear that I will have to abandon the submission for the time being. If so, what happens to the draft article? Does it get deleted, or does it remain on the Wikipedia web site as a draft article? If the latter, then I will carry on editing as new reference sources become available to me, although I will not resubmit unless substantial new sources appear.

Spanish Barb Horse
editHi, I came across this article through WPEQ and I seriously doubt it's needed. We already have a fairly good article on Spanish Mustangs, which are basically the same thing. This kind of thing is ridiculously common in the horse world. Somebody likes a particular breed of horse but doesn't like the association that controls that breed, so they form their own association, changing the breed name to make it seem different... 😛 (See Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse and Rocky Mountain Horse for a prime example.) Anyway, I was just going to say that even though I'm usually an inclusionist, I don't really want to see more articles like this because they are more trouble than they're worth. They get written by promoters who don't get that Wikipedia is not a commercial. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 20:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

This editor has created a travesty in the form of the Odinism article (replete with non-referenced information and non-reliably referenced information), all with the intent of creating a WP:Coatrack for the main Heathenry (new religious movement) article, which they are deeply unhappy with because it doesn't present the religion to which they subscribe in a way that they approve of.

Die Initiative zu den lokalen, süddeutschen Wettbewerben kam vom Tag der Mathematik, der seit 1985 in Baden-Württemberg an Universitäten stattfindet. Er wurde von MINT (Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften, Technik) an der Universität Ulm[2] getragen, in Zusammenarbeit mit hessischen Veranstaltern. Außer dem eintägigen Wettbewerb werden in diesem Programm Sommerschulen oder Kurse[3] mit Universitätsprofessoren oder -dozenten als Lehrer für Schüler aus der Region einer Universität angeboten. Die Schüler haben dabei die Möglichkeit, einen späteren Studienort kennenzulernen, ihr Talent mit Schülern anderer Schulen zu vergleichen und Freundschaften unter Gleichtalentierten zu schließen.

Woodcraft Supply draft
editIs there anything that can be added to help prove notability and make this draft page go live? WinCo Foods is a similar size chain to Draft:Woodcraft_Supply, however, there are many more sources referencing Woodcraft stores or magazine, including some larger publications such as The New York Times. In addition to the US stores, the magazine and catalog give Woodcraft an international footprint across 117 countries. Woodcraft is certainly notable within the woodworking industry and for hobbyists. In that context it seems odd that it is not already included in Wikipedia (I suppose there may not be a big cross-over of woodworking enthusiasts and Wikipedia contributors).

19 Nov review of submission by T McNellis on Kami Lyle
editThanks for the quick review, David, and I have spent some time looking through (again) the notability guidelines as well as the GNG. I'm admittedly a newbie when it comes to this, and the extensive thought that went into creating the guidelines is very interesting and thought provoking, but I readily welcome your help and guidance. Realizing now that notability is not merely a popularity contest (i.e. sheer number of references) I took a hard look at the quality of the references and am in the process of pulling out references that are weak, and adding more independent references. In general, is there a rule of thumb for a musician regarding selection of the type and quantity of references?

OK, you gave me an interesting challenge and in the process I was able to improve my skills in literature and new searches! I’ve included a bunch of additional third party references to give a more varied and global view of this artist. In keeping with the wikipedia guidelines, I’ve tried to include only reliable sources and have removed questionable ones like examiner.com. Overall for notability, here’s what I think I’m seeing for this artist: subject of multiple published works (Encyclopedia of Popular Music 4th Edition, numerous articles in Billboard, NPR, national press); plus two full length albums (although one is independently produced) but there are several others on significant labels where she is credited as composer and performer of one of the tracks; significant activity with national artists and national media on major networks; and won several awards in what I believe are national songwriting contests.

Hi. The submission of my draft of "The Elements of Sound" has been declined with the message "This looks more like a journal report rather than a formal encyclopaedia article". I would appreciate it if you would advise me of how to turn it into an encyclopaedia article. Should I use the same format as "the elements of Art"? Is there a different model I should use?
Is there something wrong with the information? I can assure you it is well researched.
Perhaps the use of the expression of "the elements" needs to be elaborated and differentiated between definitions of rudimentary elements and perceptual elements. The intent is to identify a list of discrete elements of sound which are both comprehensive (make up all forms of sound) and can be independently manipulated.
Similar definitions can be found in a variety of areas:
law: element of a crime (or element of an offense) is one of a set of facts that must all be proven to convict a defendant of a crime
Chemical element, a pure substance consisting of one type of atom in mathematics, an element, or member, of a set is any one of the distinct objects that make up that set. in philosophy Classical elements, the ancient belief about the fundamental types of matter (usually four in number), expressed in their Aristotelian forms as fire, earth, air, and water Rburtonresearch (talk) 07:26, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand why the sources www.sikart.ch which is a scientific portal of the SIK-ISEA, the international recognized swiss institute for art research shouldn't be a reliable source. The same goes to the Fotostiftung Schweiz (www.fotostiftung.ch). Can you explain me that? I found several swiss photographers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Swiss_photographers) which do have the same reliable sources and are published since long ago in the EN-wikipedia. How could this happen? Did the criteria chance? Concerning the notability of the photographer: He won several times the Swiss Art Award (1974, 1976, 1983, 1985), did more than one Art Stipend in the States and elsewhere and got exhibitions in the States (like New Museum, NY), Germany, France, Belgium, Italy (Biennial of Venice), and Switzerland.
Thank you for your support.
Kind regards
Joachim

edit
Thank you for reviewing my article. I am asking that you accept the article with the references I have listed. I am quite certain that any other references I could possibly locate would be either unreliable in regards to accuracy or simply copied from the sources I have listed. I am referring to the MPHA website in particular as it is the official online site of the Mountain Pleasure Horse breed association and is maintained by individuals committed to accurately presenting historic and current events pertaining to the breed. The non-url references are taken from vintage publications which are few and difficult to come by. In writing this article, I have attempted to locate and reference all known documentation in order to write a complete and accurate article and I do hope Wikipedia will accept it as written. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.MountainPleasure (talk) 11:08, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
Hadyn Ellis
editYou declined the new page about the academic Draft:Hadyn Ellis on the grounds of not being a notable person. He was an academic and this is what the notable guidelines say about academics: Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Of the critieria listed he meets at least 4 of them.
Further: He even has a building named after him - surely that is a sufficient secondary source. He coined a term which is now a major sub discipline of psychology.
Does this make him sufficiently notable?Psy7k (talk) 11:32, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

editHi! Our company page has been declined again Draft: Envision Energy, in which you said we need more third-party sources. How many more do you need? There isn't a lot of media coverage online about our business, since we are in a traditional B2B industry with a lot of things happening offline. As our main operation is based in China, there are more sources in Chinese, but limited amount in English. Would it be alright if we include some sources in Chinese? Thank you.

Confused Regarding Rejection of Submission
editThank you for taking the time to read my submission for a Wikipedia article. The feedback I received for rejection was due to the subject not being notable enough for inclusion. The subject's bands are extremely popular, they are currently performing in sold out arenas, one of the subject's bands has their own Wikipedia article already, which references this subject. Another band member also has his own Wikipedia page. The subject is endorsed by a major drum manufacturing company, the subject's albums are available for download on iTunes, etc. Many other bands/band members related to the subject are also widely available on Wikipedia. All of this information has been referenced in the article I submitted. If the issue is improper referencing I'm happy to oblige if you would be more specific about what the concern is. Simply saying the subject is not notable enough doesn't quite seem to fit the bill. The subject is all over YouTube, has been interviewed for Natural High, performed at Warped Tour. The subject's achievements are more than notable. Less notable individuals have articles of their own. Would you please clarify further what is considered notable if this individual does not fit the bill?

CSD A7 tags
editHi,
I notice you've been tagging articles CSD A7 on notability grounds, judging by your edit summaries. That's not what A7 is about; it's about there not being a credible claim of significance (not notability; they are not the same thing). The claim does not even need to be true to fail A7, nor does it need to be sourced or verifiable. Non-notablity alone is not a criterion for speedy deletion, and it doesn't matter how non-notable an article's subject is; if there is a credible claim of significance, it's not an A7. Although you're not the first person I've come across who evidently misunderstands A7, I'm surprised you didn't know this as you've been here for 7 years, whereas I've only been here for 7 months!

- @SwisterTwister: I didn't decline it per se; I'm not an admin. We are, however, allowed to disagree and remove the tag. I thought the claim about Minerva Mendez gaining media attention is probably a credible claim of significance. If you think she, or any of the other articles are not notable, go ahead and nominate them (AfD or PROD) on those grounds. Adam9007 (talk) 02:25, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
- Adam9007 Yes but the question is what "media attention" as I found nothing at all (all I find is her own primary websites). This seemed like an easy speedy rather than spending its time at AfD (although I may avidly consider PROD). SwisterTwister talk 02:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
- @SwisterTwister:For the purposes of A7, it's irrelevant. If the claim is credible (and I think it is), it's not an A7. If you can't find anything to support it, it's either non-notable or a hoax. A7 is not about verifiability. Adam9007 (talk) 02:33, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi David,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Draft: Mike Steib twice now. I know you play an important role in maintaining the integrity of the Wikipedia platform.
I am writing to follow up about the most recent rejection of this draft. Mike Steib is an expert in the internet business space. This has been noted on the Wikipedia draft by the thirteen high-profile news sources that have interviewed him for insight on the subject. I have included no less than 38 references from reputable sources, as defined by Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. This is far more than other pages of comparable executives, and also more than others on your talk page who complain about the number of sources you require. I would greatly appreciate your acceptance of this submission, or at least a more detailed response regarding steps that can be taken to ensure the publication of this biography. With sources already including The New York Times, CNN, Bloomberg and Fox News I am not sure what other sources you expect to be included.
Thank you again for your work to improve Wikipedia. I assure you that publishing Draft:Mike Steib will only benefit the Wikipedia community.

Notability: Should I change topics, or find more articles?
editHi SwisterTwister!
Thanks for looking at my article again! I'm glad it's improving. Are you saying that this business just inherently ins't notable enough? I've looked at the wiki CORP Notability guidelines, and it seems that all my third-party sources are more in-depth than generic announcements or reviews; many are news articles, and in-depth interviews. I believe Version One Ventures in notable because they have spurred the growth for so many companies! Not to mention the startup world is slowly growing in popularity and size.

Hi,
I have added additional references in support of the article but my issue is most of the information I have found are from online news publications. Will this be a problem as the company I am writing about is 4 years old so there isn't any other referneces I can find at the moment, although I am still looking?
I have also corrected the references but for one that is missing the authors name, the article doesn't actually state the authors name, instead it only has the publications name in place of the author. Please let me know your thoughts.
Look forward to hearing your feedback.
Many thanks!
- Jaymini.m Hello!

I guess I need clarification about a couple points.
1) "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule."
I've referenced several sources that cite the artist as either a founder or an important member of the visionary art movement. I also reference 4 books dedicated completely to her art as well as a number of books that she has illustrated, including one by a well-known author, Ursula K. Le Guin. I would think any of these would mark her as worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia.
2) Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Every paragraph in the article has references that could be looked at to verify the information. What is wrong with the references I have used?
Thanks in advance for your help.

My motivation of creating an article about Arthur Kudner stems from finding his famous words on "big words" first, and later discovering that he himself had not just been the author of a single famous phrase, but had a decisive role in the development of the American dream and the American Way of Life which has both impressed and been detested by Europeans before and after World War II. As it is my first article on a person, I did not notice any Wikiquette about that particular kind of Wikipedia articles.
Unfortunately, I do not have enough time to thoroughly research his life and dig out some more "citeable" references for the things I found out by simple searching the web for pieces on him. I choose an extract of information from these sources and composed them to an article covering the Person Arthur Kudner, both father and son. The father, son and the sons first wife were definitely persons of public interest at their time, by being close friends of Grace Kelly, and by leaving footprints first in America and later worldwide in the way advertisement and marketing were becoming an essential part of public life in modern western society.
My conception of Wikipedia was that articles would start even if they are not yet perfect, fragmentary and erroneous, as long as the focused item or, in my case, person was relevant to the public. After reading the guidelines on notability, it is clear to me that Arthur Kudner, both junior and senior, had been creative professionals which made significant contributions to the marketing and advertisement industries in the developing 20th century, insofar fulfilling the second additional criterion on notability, namely "originating a significant new concept, theory or technique". It should not matter that Kudner's contributions were not in the pure artistic domain. Some of his ad slogans have even become common language, this alone should suffice to prove notability.
But I understand that all this needs references to reliable secondary sources and I guess that the sources I added to the first version do not meet all the necessary standards for reliability. My hope was and still is that other Wikipedia authors would close this gap after reading about the article and the famous citation, which also has not been covered in the wikipedia so far. I hope I could persuade you and would suggest to let the article start this way and invite corrections and completions, as I have seen with several Wiki articles before.

I don't find resources other than what used in the article Vandana(Kannada actress). Because she is a veteran actress active in 1960s decade. After her last film no one knows what she is doing. But she was a good actress who did many memorable roles in as many as 20 films in Kannada during her career spanning 8 years. You can watch her films on youtube

I think the resources that are provided in the article are more than enough to create an article on artist. In this link http://www.supergoodmovies.com/12536/sandalwood/rajesh-stunner-on-silver-screen-exclusives-details one of the legendary actor of Kannada Rajesh says "In the 1950 onwards Honnappa Bhagavathar, Rajakumar, Udayakumar, Kalyankumar, Panthulu, Ashwath, Narasimha raju, Balakrishna, Iyer, B Saroja Devi, Leelavathi, Pandari Bai, MV Rajamma, Mynavathi, "Vandhana", Kalpana, Jayanthi, Bharathi enriched the film industry."
The Chiloka.com has created her profile (http://chiloka.com/celebrity/vandana) which will give the detailed filmography of her. I don't why you are stopping this article from creating. My intention is to respect this forgotten artist. If you are still not convinced and sticking to rules and regulations its ok.
Thank You!

Reply to comment on Draft:Jeremiah Texts from Qumran
edit
Hi SwisterTwister! Thanks for the comment on the draft.
I'm wondering if changing the draft to "Biblical Jeremiah Texts from Qumran" would be reasonable. In another conversation, I was informed that some of the Pseudo-Jeremiah texts were found on other Wikipedia pages, but I have seen a lack of representation of the Biblical Jeremiah scrolls found in other places on Wikipedia including the Letter of Jeremiah page, the Dead Sea Scrolls page, and the List of the Dead Sea Scrolls specifically in regards to Cave 4. If I focused more on the Biblical side of the Jeremiah Qumran texts, would that qualify as notable?
Thanks for the help. Azureindignation (talk) 07:06, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

I could do with some advice as the additional information required to have this page approved. You will have read the club has had world class swimmers train here with references backed up by external independent articles and other wiki pages. During my research i've found other swim clubs wiki pages with less heritage. As this is my first page I do require some specific guide nice
Thank you Andrew

09:24:37, 25 November 2015 review of submission by Baron667
edit
Hi SwisterTwister, thanks for taking the time to review my article and for tidying it for me - my first wikiarticle so I've been on the help page to try and improve it a bit.
I got what you said about notability - yes, he hasn't held a position of office which would seem to be the requirement for notable politicians. I think therefore its fair to say I've probably mislabeled him. Should it say "Mark Clarke (Political Activist)" instead?
I have improved some of the sources, removed the weaker ones like Brietbart and replaced them with stronger ones, such as the BBC. I have removed the articles as the wiki helpers told me that it looked like CITEKILL and I was trying to hard to prove his notability. In fact I wasn't trying to do that, I was being careful to use a lot of sources because many of the newspaper articles about Clarke seem to be allegations at the moment, so I wanted to be sure it was clear it wasn't Wikipedia making the allegations. Even so - where one good source is necessary Ive kept it that way.
Also I have added a section where BBC Newsnight did a special feature on him this month, and also added a documentary about him which aired in 2007.
Can you suggest anything else to help me improve the article so it passes the notability guidelines? I've added lead articles and front page stories in the reference section with major newspapers - that might prove his notoriety but not sure about his notability.
Baron667 (talk) 05:30, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi there David. Any update on approving this? You may have read that the UK International Decelopment Minister has resigned over this scandal now and its possible the Chairman of the Conservative Party in the UK will do as well - I will add this to the article. However what about changing it from (Politician) to (Political Activist)? Seems that would surmount the issue of having to be elected or hold office to assume notability. Baron667 (talk) 06:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Baron667 (talk) 05:30, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi David
Have I met the requirements yet for this? Your two issues with it were:
notability: I have elaborated more, including documentary episodes on BBC on him, or special features, on national flagship shows: 3 in total (Newsnight x2 and BBC Radio 4), I have also elaborated more on his key involvement in the resignation of a uk government minister. If you can remove the politician handle then does this prove notability?
citations: I have furnished the article with many sources from UK's most respected newspapers and media outlets, including: BBC News, BBC Radio 4, BBC Newsnight, The Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian, THe Financial Times, The Independent, (Basically all the Broadsheets) and also the most widely read newspapers in the UK - Daily Mail, The Sun, The Mirror, and London's most listened to radio show LBC.
THe man is at the centre of the tatler tory scandal; he is at the centre of an investigation which has brought down a government minister, looks to bring down the Party Chairman, he's associated with the Prime Minister, national conferences have been cancelled, the entire executive of COnservative Party youth wing has been suspended; its been some of the biggest news in the UK over the last 3 months and an activist has even committed suicide over the scandal. MPs have allegedly been blackmailed. Is there anything else I can do to prove notability? If so please let me know David.
Thanks

Hi,
First of all, thank you for taking your time revising my article.
However, I would like your help clarifying your comment about my submission, when you said "Simply not enough in-depth third-party sources overall".
In my view, I have backed every statement in that article with evidence, and the work presented there is notable (again, it's the first co-production show in a 1-billion-habitants country).
So, what else could I do to fix this article? What kind of information is missing?
Thank you, G
Hello. Thank you for reviewing my article about Robert Rosenthal. I am hoping you can help me understand what lead you to determine that he is not notable so that I can adjust the article appropriately. He is the CEO of a company he founded at a time when there were not many companies providing wealth management, he lead the IPO of a major corporations (Entenmann's), serves in leadership roles of a major university, Hofstra, a major health system, North Shore-Long Island Jewish, and at one time was an owner of the NY Islanders. Each of these are referenced with either article citations or website references. Please let me know what I can do to improve this article. Thanks! KarenFLI

Draft:DeafVideo.tv added more third party sources
editHi SwisterTwister, you've given me feedback on a draft page I'm working on. I've went in and added more third party references. How many are needed to make a page? I think I've found about as many as I'm going to find for a subculture like deafness. If the page is not now adequate then how can I delete the draft page? Feel free to do that for me if you don't think the page is now worthy of wikipedia. I've given it all I have. I do think this is an interesting topic that people who are interested in learning about ASL or Deaf culture should know about. It is a Deaf space that propogates the spread and influence of Deaf culture in the internet age. Thanks for considering my page and for the help making it possible.

politician notability criteria; unsure?
editIt really baffles me as to, how is it that you have chosen to reject my contribution by actually stating that, you are not sure whether 'it does or does not' fit the politician notability criteria! Being unsure does not give you that privilege for the encyclopedia is not meant for you alone. Some of the sources are certainly curated by me over the web and it is but obvious that one would notice that I have a verbatim surname to the one relating to the politician I am attempting to insert into the encyclopedia. Moreover, has it ever occurred to you that some vernacular sources from yore, although legitimately recorded on other mediums may have not yet been brought online? Moreover, it is for a certain that 'mmsajjan' was a bona fide elected representative representing a constituency of 2,00,000 voters even though most of them may not even be aware of 'wikipedia'! And this does fit the notability because pictures do not lie and do take note of the photograph therein of said politician greeting the most fiery Prime Minister of India; no less!

I have read through your help page on citations but require more specific information. I'm unsure as to which statements need specific citations to improve the entry. Or is it perhaps that the sources themselves are fine but I've formatted them incorrectly.
Would appreciate your assistance and insight in order to get the article fully compliant with community standards.

You declined my entry on Father Thomas Carroll. Draft:Thomas J. Carroll It's only my second article so please help point me in the right direction.

On my first entry I ran into the problem of "peacock" and "puffery" so I went out of my way to avoid superlatives and the like. I've added additional citations and some new material to help make it clear. Please take another look and give me some guidance on how to improve this.

I completely understand your reason behind the comment. What can I do to fix the problem? I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, so perhaps it was the way I inserted my references?

- Adenburg Well to be honest press releases aren't always used unless they are the only available sources as they often simply published material by the entity (or entities) themselves so third-party sources (such as news, journals, magazines, etc.) are often used instead. Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 06:05, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I am keen to understand more clearly why the sources provided to show Invest Europe's notability are not sufficient, and what type of further article / link I could provide to allow the page to be published. Invest Europe is the European equivalent of the National Venture Capital Association in the United States, which seems to have little information to support its notability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Venture_Capital_Association
In the past week Invest Europe research has been referenced in the Financial Times - http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/3a7d4ebe-78a4-11e5-a95a-27d368e1ddf7.html#axzz3sxtGHVMl
In addition, an update to its professional standards, which acts as a code of conduct for the private equity and venture capital industry in Europe, has been reported widely in the European financial media (eg - Financial News - http://www.efinancialnews.com/story/2015-11-24/invest-europe-transparency-guidelines )
Would those additions help?

Speedy deletion declined: RM Education
editHello SwisterTwister. Your proposal for speedy deletion of RM Education was declined on the grounds that RM is probably one of the largest educational IT providers in the UK, providing pretty much all of the broadband infrastructure for UK schools as well as email, software etc. Its notability can be confirmed by searching using its former name of Research Machines. The company is very significant in its own market - IT services for schools, colleges and universities - and was for many years the strongest competitor of Acorn Computers, until Acorn folded Guffydrawers (talk) 12:48, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

SwisterTwister: please review the edits I have made re. Miratech Group. The information stated herein is factual, and I have taken great pains to provide, in reference to your editorial comments, numerous independent, external references; I also have taken the step to provide, from those independent external references, the information they have given to Miratech supporting why Miratech is notable. This is the third time our submission has been declined, and we're getting quite frustrated. I would appreciate any further inputs should the submission this time not be satisfactory, and we appreciate your help in getting this information about Miratech on Wikipedia. It's all factual; it's all out there for public consumption, and the company deserves a place in Wikipedia - which I use constantly, btw, in my daily work and personal life.
Thank you. Happy Holidays. Kind regards, Lara

Hi SwisterTwister,
Thank you for your review!
This is my first wiki page I am editing. I looked over your remarks. As you mentioned there wasn't enough in-depth third-party sources so I have added 18 new third party sources to the References subject.
I wanted to make sure I am in the right direction before saving my edit again for review.
Thank you so much, Galitwolf
Hello. I was asked to create an article on composer Ardo Varres for the Estonian Vikipeedia and subsequently to create a page in the English Wikipedia. The article in Estonian has been up for a while but my attempts to post the English version have been denied many times already, despite my efforts to create the footnotes and references in the correct format, still the answer has been that the notoriety standard is not met. What am I to do? Thank you. Helen
Hi there, thanks for reviewing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Wilhelm_Neumann-Torborg'. The German references do refer to him as a "well-known" sculptor, and if you look at the references you can see he is included in reference works about artists as well as in recent newspaper articles and scholarly papers. How would I assert this in the article itself to show you that this is a notable person?

Hi again! Thank you for the reply. I'm glad it passes the notability hurdle.
Re your request for "simply" more sources and more information, I'm a bit baffled how to fulfill this request.
Re sources, how many more does it need? At some point in the creation process, there was an auto-generated list called "Find sources for Wilhelm Neumann-Torborg" or similar. I promise I clicked on every link (except JSTOR, because I don't have a subscription) and put everything I found in the article.
Also, what do you mean by more information? Is there a minimum length I need to reach? One of the sources that I could access has a long description of how he was hired to make the Elberfelder Poor Relief Momument but I thought that was a bit too fine detail for an encyclopedia article. But I could add another sentence there and pad it out a bit.
Thanks again for your help!184.147.121.46 (talk) 21:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Which third party sources should I include to satisfy the journals notability. As it is e-journal and working with academic Publishing. Please tell the third party sources names so we can include it. Also tell which references should be included. As we have included the external links giving notability of this Journal.

The reviewer has rejected my article on James Chisholm (Senior) based on a lack of notability ["While most historical subjects are accepted, I'm simply not seeing the solid notability here"], suggesting the addition of more secondary sources and improvement of referencing. I have currently included some 40 primary sources in this article. With very few exceptions, the only major second source is the biography of the man's life that has just been published (The Merchant of Sydney). At the launch of this book last Saturday, Emeritus Professor Brian Fletcher, one of Australia's most distinguished historians of early colonial history, said it was extraordinary that such a prominent colonial identity had, to date, "slipped through the historian's net" and had "been sorely neglected for some two centuries". As Professor Fletcher says, James Chisholm has been largely ignored for more than 200 years, and yet he was the equal of many who already feature strongly in the articles of Wikipedia, and certainly exceeds many others in notability. He was a major early entrepreneur and merchant; responsible. possibly only secondary to Robert Campbell, for opening up significant trade with Bengal; he owned a large area of the early town of Sydney; he was selected by Governor Macquarie as a member of his Governor's Court; he owned the first Bank of New South Wales of which he was a founding shareholder and Director; and he was widely acclaimed as one of Sydney's most respected early citizens. He has been neglected by history because he was a modest man who did not promote himself. I have tried to avoid rhetoric and stuck to the facts. I am able to add many more primary sources to this article, if this is required. However, the only other secondary sources that mention him are already cited.
Can you please advise on how I should proceed?
With thanks

==Ronnie Apteker
Hi SisterTwister Re your review of my page, I take your comments on board and hope to be able to provide a solution myself. But I feel bound to say, that a lack of consistency over how criteria are applied is one of the most confusing and maddening things about contributing to Wikipedia. I found it easier doing my university thesis! Take a look at David Frankel (entrepreneur) who was Ronnie Apteker's business partner. It reads like the dullest of CVs, largely written by David Frankel himself if the View History is anything to go by. So could your explain how he is able to get away with that, whereas Ronnie Apteker deserves recognition if only for his contribution to cinema. Doesn't Wiki say that films, books, music are evidence in themselves?
It seems a self-evident that unless criteria are applied equally, then the system must be flawed and consequently in danger of losing credibility Picknick99 (talk) 16:32, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Article Resubmission (Tup Tup Palace)
editHi SwisterTwister, thanks for reviewing my draft article and for your feedback (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Tup_Tup_Palace&redirect=no). I have added more in-depth third-party sources and made some amendments to the structure and content of the article.
In terms of depth of coverage, Tup Tup Palace has been the subject of verifiable significant coverage in many reliable, independent secondary sources spanning a period of some 8 years. There is no shortage of verifiable, objective evidence that it has attracted significant attention from numerous independent sources. The article now has 54 citations in total, of which approximately 1/3 constitute ‘significant’ coverage as opposed to ‘trivial / incidental’. I am aware that the trivial / incidental sources are not, in themselves, an argument for notability, but I feel that such citations can still provide useful background for the article as a whole, which I have tried to make as comprehensive as possible.
I feel that the audience of the sources is also relevant here; the coverage is not only limited to local news but features national and even some international coverage.
It is also my opinion that this venue has had a significant and demonstrable effect on Newcastle’s nightlife culture and national profile as a glamorous location. I say this because celebrities were simply not seen out in the city prior to it’s opening (a cursory internet search reveals this). The inference being that Newcastle as a city did not have a bar / nightclub of sufficient calibre to attract such celebrities.
I hope you agree there are now enough sources cited to demonstrate that the subject is genuinely notable, but I will of course take your guidance on that or any other improvements that you feel I could make. Laurahartley (talk) 17:36, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

MassCEC article submission
editHi Sister Twister,
Thanks for your feedback. I want to let you know I spent a lot of time searching for sources outside of MassCEC, and was only able to find independent information primarily through the legislation that led to its inception, and content that partners and affiliated groups had put out. I used the NYSERDA, New York State Energy Research Development Authority, as a commensurate article and noticed they have similar sources and style of writing. While I can see why it appears to be written as an advertisement, this is what the organization does, as reported by them and every third party resource I could find.
Please let me know your thoughts on this and maybe provide a specific example of how I could fix it. Please feel free to edit yourself, as MassCEC has national and international recognition and certainly deserves an article. Side note, should it matter that MassCEC expressed opposition to a Wikipedia publication on them? Also something to consider.
Thank you for your time.
Hi SwisterTwister,

I've added since few dozen secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject and I improved the PubNub submission's referencing.

Bridges Ventures
editHi SwisterTwister,
Thanks for your help. My page is still being rejected unfortunately, even though it has citations from respectable sources (Published non-fiction, government reports, UK Cabinet Office website, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Wharton School of Business (U.Penn), Businesweek - none of which publish anything other than their own opinion), plus many more. Do I need to add more?
Re the topic of my post not being notable, I am not sure why this is being cited as a reason for the post being rejected - Wikipedia has itself created a Category called 'Private equity firms of the United Kingdom', which has over 50 posts listed under it (many of which have 0 references), so this topic is notable by Wikipedia's own standards.
Would it help if I deleted some of the text from the post?

Hi SwisterTwister,
I’d love to appeal for the Bridges Ventures post. I believe this post is a notable for the following reasons:
The organisation has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the firm (Times, Telegraph, Guardian, the UK Government, published non-fiction) – “Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability.”
Bridges plays a large role in the growth of the impact investment sector in the UK, in terms of both practice and research. Sustainable and impact investing is a growing financial sector which combines philanthropy and private equity. We are also at the forefront of the growth of sector in Latin America.
Bridges is an educational provider, the first in the world to offer global sustainable and impact investing training, in partnership with an American ivy league.
Are all of these reason not enough??

I looked at some other food articles and while they did not include how to prepare them, I do think I remember reference to ingredients.

Hello, the Conquerors Sporting Club is a new first division team that was just established and as time goes on we will obviously add many references.
At this stage it is confirmed by the Ghana Rugby Football Union as per references, and very influential independent news media such as the Ghana News Agency, Peace FM and Modern Ghana has already reported on the Club.
It is just like Blue Bulls but just very new and in smaller rugby union country.
Can we please get it published on Wikipedia?

Articles Created in Mainspace
editHello SwisterTwister, how are you? Over the past few days you declined two drafts that I worked on as non-notable. I believe that those subjects are notable, which is why I created those drafts. Anyway, I have created those drafts as articles in main space. If you believe that they are not notable, please take them to AFD. Remitly and Francis Bitonti.
I would like to keep working in the AFC. For future, how about if you send over drafts to me of subjects that you think are really notable. My interest is in editing articles about Visual artists. Thanks.Susana Hodge (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:58, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

At Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 November 30#Vu Digital, I asked for the community's permission to restore the history under the redirect so I can merge material to C Spire Wireless, the parent company.
I will only merge material sourced to TechCrunch, Mississippi Business Journal, Broadcasting & Cable, and The Clarion-Ledger, which all pass Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. I will not merge any material sourced only to press releases or sources that fail Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Would you support this? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 19:15, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

After adding countless citations, links to verifiable sources, etc. there still seems to be issue with this submission. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Steve_Sinnicks
The artist has been featured on CBC (National News & Information), The Hamilton Spectator (major market newspaper, part of the national chain Metroland Media), won Hamilton Music Awards for "Recording Of The Year" twice, City of Hamilton Arts Award for "Established Artist", played and recorded with many other major artists - who also play and appear on his recordings, interviewed and reviewed in national music magazines (Exclaim! and Chart Attack), played at major events and festivals including the nationally noted NXNE and Canada Music Week and charted on independent radio stations across the country.
These all fit the definitions and guidelines for both notability and "reputable sources, independent of the topic/subject".

I have made a few amendments to the Ronnie Apteker - removed perceived promotional tone and added two good refs from Forbes magazine and Cape Times. I am still a little perturbed regarding your comments re Internet Solutions and R.A - the former is a piece of corporate promotional tripe with little merit, whereas Ronnie Apteker has surely a much greater claim to notability. See also his former partner's page - David Frankel - another piece of self-promotion that seems to have escaped the editor's attention.

- Significance: 36 references in a 370 word entry; I challenge any other business's wikipedia entry to match that rate of links to words. Software that runs 70%+ of US TV stations. Four funding rounds.
- Reliable and Independent Sources: My 36 citations come from 18 discrete and totally legitimate media sources.
In addition, I have avoided marketing fluff, provided a whole lot of internal wiki links, and avoided the usual business rathole of trying to get in every last bit of history of product development, executive hires and so forth.

Thanks! --Moonriddengirl (talk)
Dear SwisterTwister, Thanks for your review. The first reviewer told me: 'Please provide more references. This is a good draft, but it needs more sources.' So I did, and you wrote, 'Not entirely commenting about its notability but this will need any more available sources overall.'
Maybe you could say more directly what you are missing? Or is it an option to make the article shorter (just mention data and the most important projects)? I would really like to complete this article about an inspiring Dutch architect.

Thank you for your review SwisterTwister. I do understand the purpose of wikipedia and have no intention to making an advertisement there. Yet somehow I cannot understand the difference between my submission and for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Yachting_Association, which is basically very similar organization. I can delete some adjectives like „successfully”, but this will only steal information from the submission. Where does advertisement start? I’m not telling there that the organization is super, extra, wonderful and beautiful. But I do want to mention achievements and describe the scope of activity.
What kind of reliable, published sources can you find on the RYA entry, apart for the material produced by the creator? Mine submission has at least some sources other than that.

Notability: Agarwal Packers and Movers
editHi Swister Twister, I wanted to get your advice after your review of the article. Am I flogging a dead horse here? I thought I had enough to get the article over the line but I guess that wasn't your take on it. I know the removalist industry is not that exciting a starting point for creating a Wikipedia career and I've spent so much time learning about it and reading articles about it that I'm reluctant to give up on it....I think there are cruddier less deserving articles that have been accepted into Wikipedia (though admitted I haven't seen one for a while). But there does reach a point where I may need to be told if the subject matter is inherently un-notable and is never going to make it, so that I can find a new hobby to write about. Anyway, your feedback would be great. Where am I going wrong? Or is because the topic is salted due to previous puff pieces being done? (not sure if you knew this, but I found some of the history...and this topic has had some really crap articles written for it). Cheers Alokibees (talk) 05:34, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

edit- Chis Maxwell (talk · contribs)
I note my article on James Chisholm (Senior) has been rejected based on a lack of notability ["While most historical subjects are accepted, I'm simply not seeing the solid notability here"], suggesting the addition of more (independent) secondary sources and improvement of referencing. I have currently included some 40 primary sources in this article. With very few exceptions, the only major second source is the biography of the man's life that has just been published (The Merchant of Sydney). At the launch of this book, Emeritus Professor Brian Fletcher, one of Australia's most distinguished historians of early colonial history, said it was extraordinary that such a prominent colonial identity had, to date, "slipped through the historian's net" and had "been sorely neglected for some two centuries". As Professor Fletcher says, James Chisholm has been largely ignored for more than 200 years, and yet he was the equal of many who already feature strongly in the articles of Wikipedia, and certainly exceeds many others in notability. He was a major early entrepreneur and merchant; responsible. possibly only secondary to Robert Campbell, for opening up significant trade with Bengal; he owned a large area of the early town of Sydney; he was selected by Governor Macquarie as a member of his Governor's Court (apart from the Judge Advocate, there was only one other member); he owned the first Bank of New South Wales of which he was a founding shareholder and Director; and he was widely acclaimed as one of Sydney's most respected early citizens. He has been neglected by history because he was a modest man who did not promote himself, and did not leave a collection of documents. I have tried to avoid rhetoric and stuck to the facts. I am able to add many more primary sources to this article, if this is required. However, the only other secondary sources that mention him are already cited. Can you please advise on how I should proceed? With thanks Chis Maxwell
This person is IMHO certainly notable, as a director of major movies (see The Cruise (1970 film), the red links in the article need some redirects). Also, note the entry at [24]. It is my opinion that for biographies of Polish artist, having an article about oneself at culture.pl is a sufficient criteria for being notable (reliable in-depth coverage); culure.pl IMHO is akin to an online encyclopedia of Polish culture. If there are any other bios by that editor you'd like me to review, let me know, I looked at one more and it appears notable. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:26, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

This article is written by a student of mine, and I think it's a notable topic - the article already cites three newspapers (one in English) that focus on the festival. GNews search also brings up [25]. Google shows it has an entry on English language Korean government official tourism site, [26]. There is stuff like [27]. I think the topic is notable enough for a "recurring event" (Wikipedia:Notability (events), and although I am a bit biased (my student), you know I am also not the one to promote spam... so could you reconsider your decline here?

Trove and AustLit
editI removed the deletion notice at Goldie Alexander because I found a detailled biography of her and reviews of her work at Trove and a different biography and information on her awards at AustLit. While AustLit focuses on Australian authors, Trove might be more broadly useful when assessing pages for deletion. In particular, Trove's 'people' search allows you to find works about a person, not just by them. Please consider adding these sources to your pre-deletion search when appropriate. Thank you. --211.30.17.74 (talk) 01:19, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi SwisterTwister. I've done some edits on the draft Draft:Oussama_Belhcen and wonder if you have time to take a look at it. -- Othmanebenjelloun (talk) thank you. —Preceding undated comment added 10:40, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Article on Anil Gupta
editHi SwisterTwister. Thanks on your previous reviews of the article. I've added more links to primary sources as well as a section, with links, on discussions of Gupta's work.
I feel I need to add that the notability of contemporary authors who work in technical fields such as logic often does not correspond with a high online presence or linkable articles in news outlets. In all honesty, I really think that, within the discipline in which Gupta works, the article in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on the Revision Theory suffices to show his notability: he developed an original theory of truth which is a rival of theories proposed by people like Kripke. That alone is a major contribution achieved by very few people who work in the discipline. I recognize the importance of Wikipedia's notability criteria, however, and hope that I have now done enough to show Gupta's notability. I hope you'll have time to look over the draft again; I look forward to your feedback.

WP:Proposed deletion
editTa for the Thanks but really, you shouldn't encourage me. Prod-2 is - at best - a good babysteps exercise for wannabe serious deleters; for me its a notorious timewaster and a terrible temptation to exercise the sort of concise honesty that pisses the admins right off. I just held back from this (an SPA about his aristocratic name, who'll write an article on every family member that ever had a job if we let it) because its 4 days ago and its all of course entirely pointless. Just amusing myself for the risk of the getting told off by the po-faced twat doing the deletion. But then, if I did make you smile, it was worth it. All the best.

Please, explain in several words, which facts i can refer with official program website, for example, and what with third-party articles, and etc... have i to refer simply each sentence? i am trying to do it in the way like other programs are described. I have a lot of information about what i write, but don't understand which one to use in the certain sentence...

Hello
editFrom what I understand the problem is that you consider the page to be advertising and it contains no references. While I do work in the marketing department of the company I should point out the pages were not meant as advertising, and apologize if it seemed that way. They were written just to offer people a simpler way to get information about the subjects. While we are trying to provide people with a service to reduce invisible lost time the page doesn’t refer to our product, nor does it point to it since there is quite a few companies with similar products. It only points out that it was first developed and used by Statoil and TDE, which is understandable since our managing director has a doctorate in petroleum engineering and has researched it extensively, the main page for the TDE Group is a brief description of the company and the companies within it.
If you could please just write me what needs to be added/Removed from/to the pages I can do it.

Subject's notability not adequate
editHi SwisterTwister!
Thank you for reviewing my Draft:The 120 Media Collective. I've read the rules and added references from legitimate news websites and press sources to add to the subject's notability. Have deleted a bunch of it due to previous declined submissions. Please could you help suggest what to add to in terms of notability? Have mentioned awards won and the sources are all verifiable too. Would a table of awards work?

Notability Query
editMy page for 'Texas Studies in Literature and Language' was declined owing to lack of notability. I am genuinely puzzled by this rationale, as the journal had a vacant link on the entry for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Texas_Press (where 5 of 11 similar journals already have Wikipedia pages). The journal is one of the oldest continually-published academic journals in the States, and is indexed in all the major places. It is difficult to understand (sincerely) how TSLL is less notable than hundreds of other academic journals that currently have Wikipedia pages.
For the record, here are the other journals that currently possess pages just from this press alone:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_Journal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_%26_Culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_the_History_of_Sexuality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Latin_American_Geography [[29]]
Please let me know how I can highlight TSLL's notability in a manner that equates to the entries above. Thank you! B802818827 (talk) 01:32, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Dear SwisterTwister,
I need, please, a little help in determining how this entry for Lin Wells lacks third-party validation. He's a former Assistant Secretary of Defense, the first Department of Defense CIO, author of several definitive works in defense and humanitarian assistance, and created entire sections of the disaster relief policies that the US Department of Defense now uses in places like the Banda Aceh tsunami, Supertyphoon Haiyan, and Katrina. He lectures governments all over the world and is a personal advisor to Ashraf Ghani, the President of Afghanistan (though we won't mention that in the article), and your Elonka Dunin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elonka_Dunin) asked him at DEFCON in Las Vegas why he didn't have an entry. She has volunteered to talk with anyone about a submission for him but I rather just get it right on my own. I've admired him for years and took this on voluntarily as a gesture of respect, but I seem to be messing it up. Based on the September rejection I've contributed quite a few third-party references. What's missing that might help?
To be clear, I'm not objecting to the rejection - I'm trying to accept your critique. But it seems I need a little help. Thanks for your advice.

Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold page
editHello SwisterTwister,
Thank you very much for posting the article I submitted, Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold.
I want to note that I am an employee of Manifest, a marketing agency representing Abbott Vascular. I have made some edit requests on the Talk pages of other stent-related Wikipedia pages, and a disclaimer has appeared with those requests (see, for example, Talk:Percutaneous coronary intervention). There is a mention of my affiliation on the talk page of the new Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold article (somehow this was copied over from a posting I made on "Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Medicine").
But please let me know if you advise that I should add any specific disclaimer information on the new Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold article. We want to ensure that we are compliant with Wikipedia requirements.
Thank you again.
Ronnie Apteker
editHello SisterTwister. I have tried to make contact a couple of times to ask for help and advice, but so far no response. I wanted to tell you that a) I added some further refs to the page and b), more surprisingly, I see that a Ronnie Apteker page was created as long ago as 2010 and voted a 'Keep' after someone questioned notability. It seems unusual that a page would be deemed ok five years ago, but not today when so many improvements have been made to it. Can't we all stick by the rules and the decisions? I am puzzled as to why the Ronnie Apteker page was turned into a Redirect to Internet Solutions, and yet no mention is made on Apteker on that page, which seems a pretty dumb use of a redirect.

COI tag on Maryann Krieglstein Comment
editThank you for taking the time to review this article and publish it out of Articles for Creation. I'm curious about your interpretation of the COI tag. Specifically, if you think the peer review from the Articles for Creation process is sufficient to remove it or if further peer review is necessary. Or if it should remain indefinably.
On a side note: I think this process worked great for COI publishing and we should recommend anyone trying to push a COI article to go to AFC for support and peer review. I've already started doing so with new editors. Of course, only after pointing them to the COI literature about what is appropriate.

Brighton Festival Chorus
editHi David, Thanks for reviewing my draft submission. Regarding the notability of the subject, I've checked the Wikipedia:Notability (music) guidelines, and I think Brighton Festival Chorus meets the criteria for musicians and ensembles, specifically meeting the following criteria:
- 5. Has released two or more albums on a major record label
- As you'll see from the selected discography, BFC has released albums on many major labels
- 7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city
- I've added a reference to a newspaper article concerning BFC's place in the music scene of Brighton
- 8 Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
- Recordings featuring BFC has been nominated for 2 Grammy awards (references provided)
I hope this helps. I'll have a look to see if I can find any other relevant references, and then I'll resubmit. Thanks, Kevin Callagkm (talk) 13:53, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

edit
Thanks for the review!
Type of information about the Ontario Games is very similar to the Canada Games. To understand what is required is it just more information and links to things about the Ontario Games? The Games are in the process of transition, the rights holder of the Games - Sport Alliance Ontario went bankrupt in April - there are news articles about that can be referenced. Current rights holders - the Government of Ontario does not have information listed on their website about the Games so it is hard to reference it. Additionally, information about past Ontario Games can be difficult to find since websites usually shut down shortly after the Games complete.
If it is simply getting more references, I can do a complete search but want to know I am close.
Thanks for all the help!
I received a message that the subject could not be created because the topic was not notable even though it is a US government agency tasked with national security as part of the Intelligence Community (IC). I provided several references but I am confused as to what I need to complete this report. Any assistance is appreciated.
Also, I created a previous entry, the Massachusetts Probation Service (MPS) and I have some clipart that I wanted to add tot he page but don't know how to add photos?

editUser:JHRock put the hoax template on an erroneous article that he created 6 minutes earlier and never came back.

- They're fine now because I fixed them. Apparent magnitude -10 is about the brightness of the half moon so if a galaxy had that brightness it would cast shadows at night. If you saw any other recently born articles of galaxies over several hundred thousand light years wide or apparent magnitudes smaller than 10 (like -10) then those are likely fake. Absolute magnitudes however should be negative because those are how bright they'd look if every star were 10 parsecs away — far, far closer than any galaxy.

Your comment on the draft says that there's not much to suggest notability "aside from getting some expected coverage for controversies".

Thankyou for your assistance with the Andrew Howard Barnes Page. Would be grateful if you would be able to direct me further. I now have 24 high quality third party (media) links and proof points and meta data which mainly illustrate the entrepreneur and philanthropy innovations, plus illustrating how he is innovating / redefining the old fashioned paper based "will creation" into digital to make wills make more accessible. regards
Please let me know where I should make alterations
PS. Now have 31 !

Heyo SwisterTwister and Merry Christmas :) I hope everything is well. The draft clearly meets #5 of WP:PROF which states: Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. Goodrich is a professor at Harvard Medical School and the sources (including the official Harvard website) confirm it. Even if any article contains only primary sources (which isn't the case here), there is no need of additional sources as long as facts like that are established and I would appreciate if you would reconsider. Happy holidays BTW :) Yash! 06:17, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

This is a developing topic with few scientific references yet. Bennett's article has been well received:
E.g. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/11/voter_surveilla.html
More information can be found in Schneier's book.
https://www.schneier.com/books/data_and_goliath/
I could add that reference.
Bennett has at least two more papers on this topic specifically: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2605183 http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2279920 I haven't read them, so, I'd prefer others to add these references later.
As for notability, there is already an article on voter databases. Voter surveillance takes this to a new level. Here are some press outlets reporting on the issue. I left these reference out to avoid controversy, as it directly relates to the upcoming elections in the US. Would you prefer me to put them in?

I'm curious as to how many reference one needs for an artist's listing... Ms Mailman was involved in the Sister Chapel a significant women's art event of the 70's, as well as being a founder of SoHo20, both referenced here on Wiki.... Also had major work destroy in WTC attack, also referenced right here on Wiki.... You advice on how to improve this will be appreciated. RS

You accepted this AfC despite it having been declined twice [32][33] and the IP editor tendentiously removing prior declined reviews four times [34][35][36][37] with no change in the article prior to doing so. Were you aware of this? Since you accepted the article, it has been tagged for AfD, which of course the IP editor is edit warring to remove [38]. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:05, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

The proposed article on Yehuda Atai
editHi David, Following your decline and suggestions of the draft for the proposed page 'Yehuda Atai', we have added links to further evidence the reception of Dr. Atai's books in the Israeli media, and for some of the participants in the recent symposium on his philosophical writing, who are themselves well established in Israel's cultural and intellectual life. We have also added more references about the reception and discussion of his political work. There are quite a lot of links to Dr. Atai's appearances on radio and TV relating to his poetry and to his activism. I hope the improvements are sufficient for you to accept it: I am resubmitting it. Many thanks and happy new year. Very best, (Mark Joseph (talk) 18:36, 27 December 2015 (UTC))

Can you clarify notability requirements for Draft:Daniel_N._Baker?
Per the cited official source, he holds the Distinguished Professor title at University of Colorado Boulder, and therefore should qualify under WP:PROF, unless Wikipedia don't consider UCB to be a "major university". Is the latter the issue? UCB is in the top-50 in the respected Shanghai Index of universities internationally, and also in the Wikipedia list of US research institutions. Did UCB not make the "major university" cut, or was there another issue? If UCB is considered not a "major university" despite its Shanghai Index ranking, can WP provide guidance on where the cut-off it, approximately?
If WP doesn't accept that he hold Distinguished Prof title at major research university, then he should qualify based on his h-index. He has a lot of Google scholar publications, but hasn't set up a profile. Google scholar searches should not be cited (probably because Google doesn't allow archiving). There are non-profiles on ResearchGate that could be used to establish his h-index & citation count. Judging from the number of citations on Wikipedia alone, it will be very high. Will adding a citation to one of these sources be helpful, or is it a separate issue?

Random AfD question...
editHello! I've got a random question for you – do you have any idea why this isn't showing up at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Television, etc.? I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong with my use of the {{Delsort}} template... Thanks in advance! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- So, do listings have to be done manually then? – using {{Delsort}} doesn't list it for you automatically? (TIA...) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:55, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- IJBall Often it will be listed (automatically, that is, I myself always list it automatically) but at times and I suspect when it never went through completely, it may not be listed. I've also been noticing a few more timing troubles here at WP recently (particularly at AfC). Cheers, SwisterTwister talk

Problem with your AFC Accept process
editHi SwisterTwister, I've noticed quite a few new article acceptances by you, using the AFCH script, have been incomplete. The Accept routine of the script seems to fail - it doesn't add WikiProject banners to the Talk page and it doesn't clean up the AFC templates and related bits and pieces from the article page itself nor does it add any article categories. Here are a couple of examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dimini%C4%87i&oldid=696958645 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_NWA_Smoky_Mountain_Wrestling_alumni&oldid=696399468 - The result is that some (all?) of your "Accepts" are ending up in Category:Pending AfC submissions in article space where I find them and then try to clean them up. Are you definitely using the current version of the script? Does it never give you an error message when accepting a submission? Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Dodger67: several of us have tried to draw ST's attention to this. My hypothesis is that they run too fast, not allowing the process to complete before closing the tab with the script running in it. I have seen this happen before when a reviewer is working very quickly and becomes impatient to get to the next draft. The script declares its own version and they seem to be using the current version. Fiddle Faddle 12:37, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Dodger67:, @Timtrent: yup. Put me in that list of people as well.Naraht (talk) 17:49, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- Dodger67 Timtrent I never get any "error" message and everything seems to work aside from that. I've also noticed the reviewing bar will not work with some and I have to wait until later or if someone else reviews that particular draft. I've noticed it definitely seems I'm not the only one experiencing this. SwisterTwister talk 18:20, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- Indeed you are not the only one. You simply seem to suffer it most often. There are no error messages shown when this happens. This is why I am suggesting that you may close the window or tab in which you are reviewing too quickly. It appears that the helper script requires the tab to be open for the entirety of the processing it needs to perform, or the processing is truncated.
- If you notice a repeatable issue with the script it would be a kindness to report it on the relevant discussion page, though. Such issues are 'not working' Fiddle Faddle 18:25, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I am not asking for a re-review, I guess I am asking to be pointed in the correct direction. I was told that I need more third-party independent references-- would articles in our local newspaper count? Should I provide multiple articles for certain items in the article? I guess I am looking for more guidance. I would like to know what is correct and what needs to be enhanced in order to get the article approved. Is there also an article in the same category that I should use as a model or example? Many articles that I have pulled up do not seem to fit the notability requirements.
Thanks in advance for all the help you can provide. It is much appreciated.
Hello,
Hitwicket
editI submitted an Article "Hitwicket" which you recently reviewed. Hitwicket is the biggest online cricket strategy game. It has been covered in articles by The Hindu, The Economic Times, The Business Line, The Bangalore Mirror and the like which are independent reliable sources. The user community of Hitwicket is the strongest that any online game can possibly have. It is very rare that through an online game users have met, become friends and have hosted meet ups across the country to discuss about the game. Meet ups have been held not just pan India but in several other countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.
Hitwicket is a notable game for cricket and strategy followers, which is easy to conclude from our more than 0.3 million registered user base.
Request you to please advise changes for the article so that it can be included in wiki. We have provided reliable citations from reliable publications. Also, we have a lot of coverage in other online platforms like sportskeeda, yourstory but I did not include them in the article.
I am providing online coverage links for your reference here to help you gauge the popularity of the game.

Thank you for the suggestions on adding more references to satisfy the academic journal notability guidelines. Have added the indexing service DBLP which indexes all major or important computer science journals. In addition to the OCLC indexing service (see infobox), this should satisfy "criteria 1" of the notability guidelines. Additionally, several other independent references have been added.

I have done more research, adding several more independent, third-party sources.
In general, American Leprosy Missions has a long and rich history of more than 100 years fighting a fascinating disease. It helped form Carville, the famous leprosy hospital in Louisiana, and pioneered life-changing drug treatments and the world’s first leprosy-specific vaccine. Its "Pete the Pig" piggy banks are still being sold on eBay. And its award-winning staff have dozens of publications in peer-reviewed journals. I would argue that American Leprosy Missions is at least as notable as the following non-profit organizations, and that I have provided far more independent, third-party sources and citations than can be found on their Wikipedia pages:
Compassion International https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compassion_International 75% of the references are from Compassion International itself. Is it notable only because of its size? Is there a revenue threshold for non-profit notability?
World Relief https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Relief Not one independent, third-party reference.
The Leprosy Mission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Leprosy_Mission The vast majority of the references are directly related to The Leprosy Mission. Is this organization more notable because it’s older than American Leprosy Missions? Because it’s larger geographically?
Tear Fund https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tearfund Fewer references than American Leprosy Missions.
IDRI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_Disease_Research_Institute Only three references.
SIM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serving_In_Mission Only two, internal references.
ALERT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALERT_(medical_facility) No references.
MAP International https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_International Only five of 20 references are from independent sources.
Does there need to be more information about American Leprosy Missions’ current projects?
Thank you so much for your help!

This is due to the fact that all public information relevant to this force is provided through Inter Services Public Relations (the press department of Pakistan's military) and this department hasn't got any official site.

AfD
editHi SwisterTwister: I have reopened the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sunil Paul per WP:NACD. I have provided a detailed rationale in a comment at the discussion page. I noticed that in your close you stated, " I still question its notability, I'll let this stay for now and renominate later if needed". In your nomination, you state " I question whether this article is independently notable and improvable", but as per WP:NRVE subject/topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing within articles. It seems possible that you're basing the subject's notability based upon the state of sourcing in the article, rather than the availability of reliable sources about the subject. Also, you seem to be under the impression that topic notability is somehow aligned with articles needing to be improved, which I have noticed in other AfD discussions, but this is not the case. Many Wikipedia articles are in various incomplete states of existence, but this does not qualify them for deletion. Check out WP:DEL-REASON for some examples of valid deletion rationales.
At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ronn Lucas, you closed the discussion stating "The result was Keep as this seems notable and acceptable for now (NAC)". In case you're unaware of it, see WP:NTEMP, "Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." Your wording "seems notable and acceptable for now" implies that notability may fade somehow, but this is not the case, and goes against the grain of WP:NTEMP.
Just so you know, my intention here is not to berate you, but it seems that you may not be aware of some of the specifics of the guidelines. North America1000 01:58, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Is there something else that is not being addressed that may be a bias in and of itself in the review? thank you for your consideration.

20:30:52, 8 January 2016 review of submission by Pinkstart
edit
Hi, I saw my submission was declined. The comment says only: "Still not enough in-depth third-party sources overall". I included 15 references, and checked that all of them have previous references in other articles on Wikipedia, so I figured out there were "reliable" sources. I compared with already published articles of other crowdfunding platforms, and it's pretty similar. Is there an objective measure, so I can be sure it's ok before re-submitting it. Thanks in advance.

Review of submission by wfmcdade
editHello SwisterTwister,
I do not understand your comment that "(I) do not adequately show the subject's notability". There is a page on Wikipedia titled "List of the deadliest firefighter disasters in the United States". That article states that "Below is a list of the deadliest firefighter disasters in the United States, in which more than five firefighters died.". (I have already edited that page to include a reference to this disaster). In the article I submitted, 8 firefighters died. How can this not be notable, given that the other articles are?
I also do not understand why I need to improve the subject's referencing. I have included three references: newspaper articles from 1882, 1912 and 1963. What else do I need?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Bill McDade

Inquiry Regarding Pomeroy Article
editGreetings, Swister Twister! I've been working on an article. I have used an accepted article for Chef Jose Garces as a guide for my contribution for Chef Naomi Pomeroy. I have received a couple of rejections for my Pomeroy draft. The first rejection noted that I had established Pomeroy's notability but had used a promotional tone (link to draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Naomi_Pomeroy). I really valued hearing this feedback and removed promotional language (I have also removed the name of Pomeroy's restaurants to avoid promotional tone there). I resubmitted the article with a more neutral tone; I have been rejected again due to my inability to establish Pomeroy's notability with sources. My references are more in number and similar in style/genre/medium to those used for the Jose Garces article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Garces
I feel as if I'm receiving conflicting information from the editing process. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know what questions you may have. I thank you for your time and consideration. MagdalenaKillionMagdalenaKillion (talk) 04:17, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

editHey Swister,
Thanks for letting me know that Draft:Lonnie Bruce White was declined as an AFC article, but unfortunately (and I don't how this happened) I didn't actually create it. All I did is previously decline it and copy-edit and sort out all the mangled mess of references (because I do believe that AFC reviewers should at least attempt to help with articles they declined if they think it has got legs). Again, I don't know how this happened, but you might want to let Friends of Luck, the actual creator of the article know! jcc (tea and biscuits) 19:19, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ah Jcc it seems what happened to you is the frequency of AfC sending it to another user (often the user who submitted it for the author). Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 19:23, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Jcc: It depends on how the {{AFC submission}} template is added to the draft. At Draft:Lonnie Bruce White, the template reads {{AFC submission|||ts=20160110155930|u=Jcc|ns=118}}, so if the draft receives any feedback resulting from the submission (acceptance, decline, comment), it will go to you. You can submit a draft on behalf of someone else by using the AFCH script, clicking the blue "Submit" button, selecting "Submit as someone else", and pasting in the name of the article's author. That way, they'll get the feedback instead of you. /wiae /tlk 21:04, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

20:05:11, 10 January 2016 review of submission by TimeMist
edit
Hello and thank you for your review and guidance. Also, Happy New Year! By way of background, I am making an effort, as a new participant in Wikipedia, to address notable people articles that have either been poorly addressed in the past or deserve that we provide factual information about their accomplishments and contributions. To that end, my first effort has been Mr. Carlos Collazo. I appreciate your help in making this article that best that I can. Some challenges that I am experiencing:
1. I removed the PR references per your suggestion and I am trying to cite the ones that are in published news or magazines. There are many. I don't know which news articles are from 'acceptable' sources and which are not. Is there a list that I may refer to?
2. Mr. Carlos Collazo provided me with some images and documents that I may use. How do I place those in the article without deletion? Do I need to get a letter from him allowing publication? One is just a picture of him.
Thank you again for your review and help. I hope you notice that I am following the guidelines as I learn them and please understand that I am new and learning.TimeMist (talk) 20:05, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- You asked this question over at the help desk, and I answered and only just saw your reply (lucky I happened to be at Swister's talk anyway!). If he gave you the photographs and he owns the copyright to them, what you need to do is fire an email over to the OTRS team . Have a look here: Commons:OTRS. You need to ask Mr Collazo to email them at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with the images and state that he is releasing them under a free license. It is best to use one of the templates here and modify them. The recommended licences are either CC BY-SA 4.0 (some rights reserved – attribution and sharing alike required), CC BY 4.0 (some rights reserved – attribution required) or CC0. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:35, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- Jcc, thank you. I appreciate the follow up help. I am still getting used to navigating to and from Talk and/or Help. I have already contacted Mr. Collazo and he has agreed to send in to OTRS. Does that also apply for documents and presentations, etc.? TimeMist (talk) 23:33, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- @TimeMist: Hi, why do you want the documents and presentations to be uploaded to Wikimedia? You certainly can submit the documents and presentations to OTRS if you want to, but I'm not sure why you would. If you simply want to reference them you don't have to upload them. jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:22, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Jcc, Hi, some documents such as white papers or presentation materials provide a good reference supporting Mr. Collazo's contributions. For example he founded a company named DDC and licensed technology he invented to it via his older company Marsys. A third party white paper was written and published about DDC and these technologies. In order to explain the relative links of this contribution from Mr. Collazo (which altered the way pharmaceutical companies provide information to their customers to the benefit of consumers), I surmise that it would be useful to illustrate the white paper. In the case of one of the companies that were part of the Marsys Group, namely Terremark, their exists a presentation that Terremark and Marsys Group provided to the industry, created by Mr. Collazo, that shows the new value of managed services which in turn allowed Terremark to be sold for $1.4 billion in the future. This kind of notability goes hidden if not surfaced with proof such as a presentation and the fact that throughout the reference websites of the company Marsys (owned and created by Mr. Collazo) there are linkages to Terremark. I believe that the more thorough the research and access to key supporting documents, the better the subject is defined (of course, there are many documents, but I am proposing to show only a few seminal ones). I already tried to include these and they were flagged for deletion along with the images. Mainly Jcc, in reading about notability and sourcing information, I am trying to get at the more difficult but very important references and information about the subject in order to present an honest and complete picture to the reader and provide strength to the credibility of wikipedia's sourcing value. What do you think? TimeMist (talk) 19:23, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- @TimeMist: Hi TimeMist, one problem that I see with using sources that were produced by his company (the "presentation that Terremark and Marsys Group provided to the industry, created by Mr. Collazo"), is that they would be primary sources and not useful for determining Mr Collazo's notability, and hence, unless they are being used instead to back up a claim that you have made (e.g. "Terremark won the XYZ award in 2010 [cite company presentation]"). With regards to the "third party white paper", which sounds a lot more promising, if it isn't already online, and Mr Collazo is willing to opensource it, upload it to Wikisource as it will be a great reference to use. However, if Mr Collazo doesn't want to opensource a confidential or commercially important document, it is perfectly fine to cite something that is not on the internet, and only available as an offline source. With regards to your images being deleted, I'm sure they won't be deleted again when you reuploaded them via OTRS OR since I've just noticed Commons:Deletion requests/File:Carlos M Collazo 2015.jpg the deletion nomination for the picture of Mr Collazo, put a note on that page saying that "I have asked Mr Collazo to email a confirmation to OTRS, please treat this as OTRS pending" and get Mr Collazo to email OTRS ASAP. I'm sure however, for facts such as "Terremark to be sold for $1.4 billion" you can find an independent (so not a company paper) source online or in a newspaper that states this, and can be used to demonstrate notability at the same time! Also, when you reply, can you reply on my talk page, as I'm sure Swister (hi!) must be getting pretty annoyed at our continued use of their talk page :) jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:50, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
Gerald Gitner draft
editI submitted a draft article for approval which is now located at User:Tilatt/sandbox. You declined it for not having enough in-depth third-party sources. I would request that you look at the article again and let me know about these - (1) [39] This article in the Sun Sentinel is one of many that are in-depth about the subject. The topic of the article was covered by numerous other publications but should only be counted as a single reference since it is about the same topic. (2) There are a total of 10 articles that you can find archived on Newspapers.com that date back to 1984 [40]. These are not as in-depth as some of the newer references, but they verify his positions with numerous airlines. (3) He is discussed in-depth for his role in aviation in several books, including "Hard Landing: The Epic Contest for Power and Profits," "Charismatic Leadership in Organizations," "Marketing & Media Decisions," "Deregulation and Competition," and "Grounded." (4) If you search Google Books [41], you will see him in publications such as Businessweek, Texas Monthly, Venture, and Forbes. (4) Here is an in-depth article in The New York Times [42] from 1981 about his founding of People Express Airlines. (5) Here is one in Business Travel News about him becoming CEO for TWA [43]. (6) Here is one from years later in The Washington Post [44] where the union of the employees wanted him ousted.
Basically, I see these all as in-depth, especially the article from The New York Times, the books, and several others that can be found in a basic online search. Please reconsider the article submitted and let me know what, if anything, I need to do. I added these references to the draft, but not sure if they are in the correct place. --Tilatt (talk) 23:02, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Make a second go at adminship?
editSometimes I think that you have to be one of the hardest working Wikipedians on here - you're in AfD, AfC (and oh man, do I appreciate that), and various other places. Offhand, have you ever thought about running for a second RfA? I know that your first one brought up some issues, but I think that you'd likely stand a better chance now. The two biggest issues that I saw people had against you was that your article creation counts were low and you don't really do a lot of article content work as far as expanding articles goes. However at the same time you're very active at AfD and your votes frequently match the outcome about 90% of the time, which is impressive. I figure that the main things you'll be going up against is the article creation, mainspace edits, and maybe perhaps that you lean more towards deletion at AfD. I don't think that any of those are necessarily things that should keep you from becoming an admin because in order to know what to delete you need to have a fairly good knowledge on what you should keep. You've also approved several articles via AfC that look to be on the up and up, so that could be used to argue against claims that you haven't created a ton of articles yourself or that most of your edits to the mainspace aren't you adding chunks of info to articles.
I'd say that you should make a second go of it. I'm going to ping The Blade of the Northern Lights, Kudpung, Boing! said Zebedee, DGG, and Seraphimblade. All of the above (minus DGG) commented on your userpage about the closed RfA back in 2012, so I'm tagging them to see what they think. DGG was active at the RfA and he's fairly strict on Wikipedia, but he's also incredibly fair, which has earned him the respect of many of us on here and he'd be a great resource in preparing yourself if you want to go again. I'd support you, if you're interested. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 11:32, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- As I mentioned to you (SwisterTwister) on IRC the other day, I think you stand a good chance at RfA; if you're interested in running again drop me an email and we can talk about it. Sam Walton (talk) 12:19, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- I don't have very much time to spare right now, but I'll be happy to have a look over things as soon as I do - probably a bit later in the week. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:03, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry I didn't get back as quickly as I'd intended. My general feel is that I'd be inclined to support an RFA. However, I'm a bit disturbed by some errors you're making in speedy deletion tagging, and even more concerned that you are not responding to being told about them but are continuing to make the same errors - see my two notifications to you, below, about your apparent misunderstanding of WP:G1. I also think setting up an archive and thus making your talk page a little more accessible would be in your favour. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:23, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- I supported the first time around, and have not yet seen a reason to be sorry. I can review in more depth later. As an aside, have you considered setting an archive bot on this page? It's getting a bit unwieldy to navigate. Seraphimblade Talk to me 14:41, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- I would support this time around., on the basis that the problems I previously commented on have mostly been solved by your increased accuracy. Usually I do ask for some article creation, though not to the same absurd extent as some of the other people commenting there. But if the work is good enough without it, and especially if the help being given to the new editors is appropriate and useful -- as is the case here, -- then the purpose of requiring editing has been satisfied. But there are nonetheless inevitably going to be a number of objections on this basis, and it would be easy to satisfy them by writing a few articles from some obvious redlinks. DGG ( talk ) 21:15, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Conominated then, would certainly be strongly supporting now. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 21:24, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- I would support this time round. But I wish you would archive some of this talk page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:17, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- Two things: 1) I would definitely support you if you ran! and, 2) before you run, make sure you've set up auto-archiving of your Talk page!! One other thing: if you want more feedback, be sure to drop by WP:ORCP... But, in your case, I don't even think you'll need that! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:44, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi SwisterTwister,
I have since added more journalistic references that are independent and have also added information about radio playlist addition of the last two singles the band released. This should conform with point 11 on the notability guide for musicians and bands.
I'm keen to not have this one rejected again so if you could let me know if you feel these sources successfully prove notability of this artist and i will resubmit.
Many thanks.
Declined Username: Hastings Bella Draft:Mads Munk
editHey Swister Twister - Please advise - you have rejected our entry again for Mads Munk - we really don't understand what we can do here as we have now given 8 entirely independent editorial sources from major magazines/newspapers - no blogs or websites etc - all sources are interviews with or major quotes by the subject. We have also added in new biog info - including our subjects role as Exec producer of a major new kids movie and his role as Exec producer of a new global pop group which was the biggest record signing for 2016. These are not part of his company M2 - they are entirely new sole projects. We really don't understand what more we can do here as we feel we have fulfilled the guidelines (3 notable sources) and the biog now includes info on major music and entertainment launches our subject is involved with for 2016 separate to the other previous activity - please advise! Thanks so much
Review of submission by Swelch12 - Reference Question
editHi -
My submission was declined on December 21 because it does not adequately evidence the subject's notability. Your comment says that pages require reliable sources independent of the subject. Since I included a number of sources from publications such as Forbes, Newsweek, NBC, Desktop Engineering and Computerworld, I'm unclear as to why the submission was rejected and what I can do to correct it. Any guidance you could give me on this is greatly appreciated.

SwitsterTwister - Thank you for taking a look and for linking to the Books Notability guidelines. I had just added two reviews from NPR and The New Yorker, which should qualify the novel as notable re: criteria #1. I'd argue, re: #2 that the book's Honorable Mention for the PEN/Hemingway award should be considered as a literary award win. Additionally Jansma did win the Sherwood Anderson Foundation's Fiction Award for writing this novel as referenced here http://sherwoodandersonfoundation.org/current_winner/ This is a major literary award and should qualify the novel and its author as notable under the criteria specified. Thank you.
- On your and LaMona's advice I have resubmitted this draft with additional reviews from secondary sources to help establish notability. There are more which could be included , but I hope that this will suffice? If there are other issues with the article, I'm eager to fix them. Thank you both for your time in helping me to understand this process better.

Dan Shugar
editThank you for reviewing my submission on Dan Shugar. I would have thought that articles written about him in Forbes magazine and the San Francisco Business Journal, as well as numerous solar industry publications and a section of a National Geographic article would verify his "notability." Should I assume that my inclusion of biographical information from Bloomberg is what is causing my problem? (My source list is below. If you could tell me which ones to replace, I will work on it!) Also, a significant source of information on the solar industry is PV (Photovoltaic) Magazine, which Wikipedia has currently blacklisted. I have requested that it be taken off the blacklist, or at least to allow on the whitelist the articles I would like to cite. If I am successful in this effort, will this help? Any other advice?

Hi SwisterTwister. Just wondered if because this individual received the Saskatchewan Order of Merit (highest civilian honour in the province of Saskatchewan), that might make him notable per WP:ANYBIO? That might not have been so obvious in my initial draft. I've included the post-nominal on his name.
If not, perhaps this content could be merged into the Gustin House article? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 19:46, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: User:Adr2609/Accolite
editHello SwisterTwister. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Adr2609/Accolite, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: I see no reason that this page needs to be deleted under G6 - please provide a specific reason. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 23:53, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Jackmcbarn Actually that is applicable for the new WP:G6 which allows deletion for unused drafts with nothing but the basic article wizard content, "Deleting userspace drafts with nothing more than the default Article Wizard text if the user creating the page has not been active for at least one year". SwisterTwister talk 23:58, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

editHello. Please do not remove relevant content from draft talk pages when you move them into mainspace (as you did at Talk:The Crown of Ptolemy for example). Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:25, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi MSGJ - I'm a (talk page stalker), but I do some work at AfC. I'm not sure that Swister removed those comments. I think that perhaps it's something that happens automatically when the draft gets approved. Can't be positive, as I can't think of an example of a draft I approved which had anything on the talk page. But when I look at your example, the change to the talk page was done using the AFCH script. If so, it's something that maybe should be brought up on the AfC talk page, to make reviewers aware of in the future as something they should be on the lookout for. I know I certainly haven't been looking for it. Onel5969 TT me 16:39, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

- MSGJ Of course that was not intentional and that actually happened because I tagged the former Crown of Ptolemy page to allow moving the draft (see Logs) so that's why it removed the talk page contents. SwisterTwister talk 18:47, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- No, that's not the reason actually. The removed text was part of the draft talk and not what was there previously. So it does seem to be a script error. Anyway it's now being investigated at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script. Thank you for your time — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:40, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks for reviewing my contribution. In my opinion I have included reliable sources
in my article and in my opinion it is fulfiling the guidlines for academics at least in two points. Maybe I should move note (1) into references and include note (7) in the reference chapter. Then it would eventually become clearer. So my question is simply would it suffice?
What shall be described differently? Also some links are to pages which exist only in the German
version of Wikipedia. I am not aware how to link to those pages directly, so maybe this has also
been contributed to the decline?

Hi there Swister Twister, this is Stephanie Rawson here. I'm part of Alesa's management team and we have been working on her Wikipedia page. I am writing to contest the rejection of the page. Alesa Lajana has been released on Australia's premier classical music label, and is working with both Grammy and ARIA winning artists (all of whom have Wikipedia pages. In addition, I think you will find that the references that my assistant provided in the writing of the page are very notable publicatiions in Australia eg. The Courier-Mail, Music Forum Magazine, WQ (Writers Queensland) Magazine, AND the National Library of Australia. If you are looking for another artist with a page that has similar references you can refer to Thelma Plum, or Shane Howard, both Australian aritsts. Is the person reviewing this in Australia?
Thank you Stephanie Rawson

Please note that little has been written about geologist George Burr Richardson (1872-1949), though he merits attention because he made significant contributions during his decades of work for the U.S. Geological Survey in its early days(when there were only about 12 geologists in the Survey). Richardson's contributions are outlined in the material presented. A particularly significant contribution is described in the first paragraph. I hoped to include Dr. Richardson in Wikipedia because he does warrant attention and little has been written about him.
I have cited the one publication that provides a significant amount of information about him (Richards RW. Memorial to George Burr Richardson. Proceedings Volume of the Geological Society of America Annual Report for 1951 July 1952:135-140. I would be glad to scan that piece and submit it, if desired.) Unfortunately, only brief references are made to Richardson in other material, such as mention of his appointment as a Fellow in geology to Johns Hopkins University (The American Naturalist, vol. 33, Jan. 1, 1899, p. 33.
I would very much appreciate a re-review in light of the above.
I think I did not correctly submit my request for a re-review of George Burr Richardson, so here I am again. I wrote the article about Richardson (1892-1949) because little has been written about him, yet he warrants attention because of his substantive contributions to geology during his decades of work for the U.S. Geological survey during its early days (when there were only about 12 geologists in the Survey). Richardson's contributions are outlined in the article, and the first paragraph describes a prominent one. The first reference cited is the only reference I could find that has a significant amount of information about Richardson. Other material just makes a brief reference to him, such as reporting his appointment as a fellow in geology to Johns Hopkins University (The American naturalist, vol. 33, Jan. 1, 1899, p. 33). In light of this information, please do reconsider the article. I would very much appreciate that.A.T.Gasch (talk) 07:00, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Dear SwsiterTwister. In reference to your review of the International Sailing Schools Association entry. I respect your point of view. I really do, but please... in terms of your argumentation, please explain to me in your own words (without copying and pasting wikipedia policies) the difference between my entry and this entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Yachting_Association There is no reference "about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Not a single one as all come from RYA governed pages, yet they meet the notability standards. How is it possible? Is my entry being discriminated now? Im using RYA as an example because RYA and ISSA does not differ so much in life. Both exist for a long, long time and both perform similar activities.

Hi SwisterTwister,
Thank you for taking the time to review my draft article on Grovo. I'm disappointed it was declined, but looking forward to improving it.
Would you mind clarifying your comments so I can make the appropriate edits?
In your note, it states, "Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." However, I included 26 references from reliable, notable sources, including CNN Money, TechCrunch, PC Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and more. I could include many more references from objective sources (such as Bloomberg News, The New York Times, etc.), but currently every sentence in the article already has a reference associated with it. I'm happy to list those additional sources at the end if that's helpful. Please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your help, Goodwork84 (talk) 01:59, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi SwisterTwister, I'm not actually requesting a re-review. The link I clicked on said I could ask you a question by clicking there. I see that you said I needed more in-depth, third-party sources. I wonder if it would be better for me to remove some of the more programmatic elements from the entry and stick to more basic facts about Metro TeenAIDS. Rather than getting more sources, would it be better to reduce the number of things that have website sources or are not cited?

Recent CSD tags
editHi, SwisterTwister,
I can see you've been very busy but I was just curious why you were seeking out and tagging all of these user subpages, often from users who are inactive. It doesn't seem like a very urgent task unless there are BLP or copyright violations. I can't tell you how to spend your editing time (and plenty of editors criticize how I spend mine) but I hope it is not a big effort to track down these subpages because I don't think they are harming the project unlike vandalism or attack pages.

Actually I'm not requesting a re-review. I thought this was borderline for notability, and the subject (R. Bruce Dold) is notoriously publicity-shy, so it is very difficult to get independent sourcing on him. He is quite well known in Chicago at least, appearing on public TV and various panels, and because he shows up as a red link on a few pages, I thought it might be useful to have a page on him, even a stub. No big deal.

David Lodge is a major contemporary British author. The book I wrote about, The Man Who Wouldn't Get Up and Other Stories, is the only one listed in Lodge's Wikipedia entry that has no link/entry currently.

I own a copy and wanted to complete the information available on David Lodge's Wikipedia entry. (If it is of any interest, I am a librarian/professor at a university in NYC.)

Hi,
the article is about a German actress. She is known from Television in Germany. In German wikipedia she has an own article. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Tkotsch
I translated this article for English Version from wikipedia. So don't know exactly what you mean if you stated that the person isn't notable enough since she has already an article in wikipedia.
Pepino2410 (talk) 09:39, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Pepino2410 - Each Wikipedia has its own standards for what constitutes notability. English Wikipedia has higher standards. In this case, the two overriding guidelines would be WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Clearly this actor does not meet NACTOR, and with the current referencing, the article doesn't pass WP:GNG. We'd need at least 3 in-depth sources from independent reliable sources to meet those guidelines. Onel5969 TT me 12:40, 17 January 2016 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Hi,
thank you both for the respective answer. Would it help to shorten the filmography?
In "Spuk am Tor der Zeit" as well as "Good bye Lenin" she played minor parts.
In "GZSZ", "In aller Freundschaft", "Dog with a Blog", "Q Pootle" she played or dubbed a main part. Of course she does not mentioned in the linked articles. These articles are about the series in general and the articles about the dubbing are the english original ones. She dubbed the German part.
It is my first article. I thought in English wikipedia I linked English version of the articles. Is this correct?

but these are German sources since she is a German actress and voice actress. Could I use these in English Wikipedia? My intention was to link to English Versions within Wikipedia that English users can inform about the respective projects.
Is that the wrong way?
Please don't get me wrong. I would not claim about the fact that the article was declined. I am just not sure if German sources help in English wikipedia or if it is better to shorten the article and only write about the main projects.
What would you suggest?

Hi SwisterTwister!
Thank you for reviewing my Draft:The 120 Media Collective. Had left a message on your talk page in reference to this. I've read the rules and added references from legitimate news websites and press sources to add to the subject's notability. Have deleted a bunch of it due to previous declined submissions. What would you suggest be added in terms of notability? Have mentioned awards won and the sources are all verifiable too. Would a table of awards work?

Star Gazers
editSwister Twister, did you start the page for the 2016 season of "Star Gazers" (the astronomy show)? I was rather surprised to see it. I've been working on the episode listings for that show for a number of years now. There was once another person who worked on "Star Gazers" as well; but, he has since retired from Wikipedia (so, I had been "going it solo" ever since). I'm glad to see new interest in the TV show.

Lisa Christine Holmberg
editFirst of all, I'd like to say thank you for reviewing several of my pages that I started, Metalheads, Rising Falcon Cinema, and Gregory Cahill. Secondly, I'd like to start a page called Lisa Christine Holmberg, but it seems that I can't due to former deletions. I've found ten notable newspaper articles in my research to reference on the page, which exceeds the necessary four or five sources to prove basic notability. Not to mention that the page is already referenced on another Wikipedia page. How should I proceed? Thank you for your time. WikiConqueror (talk) 04:33, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- WikiConqueror Hmm, frankly, it would depend whether it now better satisfies WP:CREATIVE. SwisterTwister talk 04:59, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- SwisterTwister It does. I'm just unsure how to create the page since it seems to be somewhat protected. WikiConqueror (talk) 05:48, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- WikiConqueror One path is WP:Articles for creation, where third-party users including myself (I'm a reviewer) can review it before accepting it or not. SwisterTwister talk 05:52, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:BlackBerry Soul Radio
editHello SwisterTwister. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:BlackBerry Soul Radio, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: no AfC template, so not within G13. Thank you.
This does not come within the definition of G13, which says "any userspace drafts and drafts in the Draft: namespace that are using the project's {{AFC submission}} template" (my emphasis). I don't know why that qualification was added, but unless there is consensus to remove it, abandoned drafts like this one must either go to MfD or simply be left alone. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:03, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- JohnCD - I think the difference is that these drafts are under an older AFC process. I can't think of a good reason why G13 shouldn't be expanded to include these drafts as well. Can you? I'm considering raising this at WT:CSD.--Mojo Hand (talk) 16:20, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- JohnCD. I use G13 on these--I read it more inclusively, exactly the same way as SwisterTwister does. I think that was the intent of the rule. I'm very reluctant to use anything like IAR at Speedy, but this is simply a technical problem in the wording. I support ST's use of G13, and I delete any such nominated article I see.
- But to eliminate ambiguity, see my proposed change at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#G13 Drafts - [45] DGG ( talk ) 17:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- I don't see the reason for the words "that are using the project's {{AFC submission}} template" in G13, but they are there, I assume for a purpose; part of the compromises when G13 was first agreed? I have commented at WT:CSD that I'm happy to see them removed. JohnCD (talk) 19:29, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
G1 speedy deletion again
editHi. You have tagged a number of user space pages with WP:G1 again, despite my having previously explained your errors in doing so. Firstly, if a page is written in readable English then it is not applicable for G1. Secondly, G1 does not apply to user space pages anyway. Please read the speedy deletion criteria properly and please stop tagging readable English user pages with G1. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:17, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
Draft deletions
editAs I recently told you, every single one of your G13 nominations is being posted in incorrect format. Please learn how to do it. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:36, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- To actually explain the issue, Template:Db-g13 states that you need to add the |ts= parameter to indicate when the page was last constructively edited. Sam Walton (talk) 17:31, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- Apologies: I should also have said that. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:02, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
G6
editI do not think I would use G6 on userspace drafts as an additional reason, U5 is sufficient (but I do add G11 sometimes to the worst of them to prevent it being restored on request) DGG ( talk ) 17:16, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hey Dave! If you haven't noticed, I'll add it as a "non-controversial housekeeping" and also for the new G6 which would be applicable, "Deleting userspace drafts containing only the default Article Wizard text if the user who created the page has been inactive for at least one year".

Berenstain Bears (Atari 2600 game)
editSwisterTwister Thank you for taking the time to review the article Draft:Berenstain Bears (Atari 2600 game). I am disappointed, however, that you found this article to not meet the notability threshold. As a highly collectible video game, and one that has been covered in many books and magazine articles (as shown in the references), I am wondering what more you find necessary to approve this article. Many revisions have taken place to expand the article and remove any information or references from non-reputable sources or wiki pages, with all seven current references being published books or magazine/journal articles. As a start-class entry, I believe the article to be well-sourced, accurate, and definitely notable both in the world of video game collecting as well as children's literature.

I have added links, and tried to source out as many links as I can without adding spam. It seems that this person is notable, and should have a wikipedia page, but maybe my process of creating it wasn't done right the first time. This person is on CBS Radio in the greater NYC area, he is often on television, see links and sources and additions I have made. Now I had to link this person's youtube page which you can see HERE, but that is because I couldn't find the direct link or any link that would have it on TV. If such a link/source does exist, maybe you can help me find it.
What's funny is as I was working on this, kind of taking a break, I see him pop up on TMZ sports on my TV. So I linked the TMZ article that mentions his show, and I am waiting for the TV clip to be up so I can source that. I just thought that was ironic, lol.
Ok so he is regular guess on the Arise Network...but again, mostly seen on his own youtube as they are a TV station and run live....here is one article I found but the video links are dead
And here is again the clips but they are on his youtube, which I don't feel like it should be a problem since they are real clips, but should I try to get them another way?
Then he is a guest on the BEN Network Show talking about Isiah Thomas joining the Liberty as their coach. LINK
but again, his own youtube is the source....so is that a problem?
Then I found a link to the audio for when he was on ESPN Radio discussing the Hoop Hall of Fame and Alonzo Mourning ....Here is the AUDIO LINK and then here is a SHORT WRITE UP The first link went down, then back up, it was at www.CatfishHughes.com which is just a page about that person I assume.
Ok then I added his education which includes his attendance to the youth camp ran by famous Ian Eagle and Bruce Beck. He didn't just attend, but they also had a write up about him being a famous alumni which I linked and you can see I added the link to the page LINK HERE
Then he was already on the Hofstra Page but it was red meaning no wiki page, as a graduate, it is also on the last link it lists his masters degree.
Now is there anything else that I should add or that is needed for this to move forward? I understand that not every sports journalist should have a wikipedia page, but this person is constantly on TV weekly and on air with a radio show that gets stories from it picked up onto other shows for example see the Samakia Walker story....
Please advise and hopefully we can get this moving forward....then once I get all the links for the Evansville Hoosier wiki page I am working on that will be another story LOL!
thanks
edit: added a link to the Evansville Hoosier page I am working on because that is starting to get hard lol!

<-- 1. This company has a significant presence in the EU, Middle East and Asian markets through wholesale coffee sales and through company owned and franchised coffee houses. 2. The company's heads have made important contributions to the study of coffee roasting, including publishing articles in scientific journals. 3. The company's coffee has been recommended to consumers through off-line consumer magazines. Because other recommendations of the coffee are through blogs (which do not qualify as acceptable sources), they have not been included in the article. 4. Its partnerships with foreign businesses have been reported on in both English and non-English industry journals/newspapers (online or off-line). 5. With Google translate, it is possible--if you possess a copy of the offline magazines--to understand the nature of each article. The articles cited are not mere mention. I could upload the PDFs to Wikipedia, however, I can't do so until the article leaves draft. The PDFs are of published articles, so I can only upload them using fair-use copyright rules.
While I have included references which are 'mere mentions' and don't weigh in, I understand that consumer magazines do qualify under the rules. While "The National Enquirer" would not, I believe a European equivalent to "Good Housekeeping" should.
I included the 'mere mentions' primarily to back up the coverage of their expansion.
I recognize this article requires ongoing improvements, however, I believe this draft qualifies for entry at the lowest level permissible.-->

schools
editIs it really your intent to challenge the compromise on schools? I'd think that we have quite sufficient articles that really need deletion to waste time on debating what would quite literally be tens of thousands of these. Before the compromise, we sometimes had 10 or 15 of these every day,about a 20% increase in the number of afds to consider. The results weren't even deleting the worst of them--the results were essentially random in terms of importance or quality, depending on who showed up and how strongly the article was attacked & defended.

Hello:
I submitted the page "Xavient Information Systems" a few weeks ago and it was denied on the grounds of a lack of notability. However, I understand notability is dependent upon having significant coverage in several reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Based on these criteria, Xavient's page should be reconsidered regarding notability, as
- a) we provided 10 references, showing sufficient "significant" coverage and
- b) the coverage is from reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
Xavient's coverage in CableFax, Investor's Business Daily and Broadband Technology Report especially should provide substantive evidence of notability, especially compared to the following companies' pages:
CableFax and Broadband Technology Report have been used as sources on multiple other company pages (CableFax: INSP (TV network), Full Channel, Blackboard Wars; Broadband Technology Report: Integrated Broadband Services, Pixelmetrix, Comcast Business) which supports the claim that Xavient's presence in these outlets constitutes a higher degree of notability than has been recognized.
Please reconsider Xavient's notability.

editHi there, I've just been linked to the AFD for this article, I didn't realise there had been a second one after the first AFD was decided to keep. Anyway, I've provided a credible source and request to keep the article perhaps with a better outside of Sweden rewrite of the article (Which I'm willing to do) as this is done also in Germany. In Germany it is done to keep anonymity of suspects prior to conviction as per German Law. There isn't really a race aspect to it, more just to make every pixelated person look the same regardless. The fact is even prior to the refugee crisis, images were pixelated in this was for exactly the same reason, not to protect refugee crimes as the original article claimed. Thanks in advance.

- I'm going to respond to this, as I tend to specialize in school notability questions. We have a standard practice that any degree-granting high school or secondary school can have an article. It is not clear from the article whether this is indeed a degree-granting school, or a school that offers individual remote courses. I've examined the school's website in detail, and I finally did find the [46] and it does. The article needs to clarify this. It also needs some numbers: I see some approximate numbers on the web site for the number of people taking courses, but not for the number of people completing their full high school program atthe school. If nobody or almost nobody has done so, there may need to be a discussion. DGG ( talk ) 21:12, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of userspace pages
editHello, David. I've been deleting userspace pages which you have tagged for speedy deletion. I see that you have been systematically working through the alphabet, and are now up to H. You must have put quite a lot of work into checking huge numbers of pages, and you are to be congratulated on dealing with a lot of junk which really should have been deleted years ago, but nobody put in the work of checking. In my opinion, some of your most useful work is tagging unambiguously promotional pages. However, I am less sure about the value of tagging a page "because it is a userspace draft containing only the default Article Wizard text, and the user who created the page has been inactive for at least one year". The huge number of pages you have tagged take up a considerable amount of administrator time, which could be spent on other things, and while in my opinion the time is worth spending when it is removing such things as spam, I am less convinced that taking time away from other work in order to delete essentially empty pages is a good idea. You may therefore like to consider leaving those pages. Obviously, it's up to you, but that's a suggestion. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:46, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Some time ago you declined the submission of this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Netop_Remote_Control&redirect=no with the reason of lack of notability. I just want to point out that Netop Remote Control has been on the market for around 30 years and is one of the most widespread remote access tools in the world. Netop has millions of users and and cannot be regarded as not notable. Netop Remote Control is far more notable than most of the tools you can find on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software!
Many IT magazines and IT related web pages have produced reviews and comparisons where Netop Remote Control has been regarded as one of the best remote access tools. So I should think that it is fair to say that Netop Remote Control can be listed among all the other tools for remote access.
I should be happy to do whatever I can to improve the article and have more people contribute and elevate its content.

editHello! You have patrolled the page Delta-convergence that I edited, and it remains tagged as orphan, despite having other pages pointing to it. Is there anything I can do to remedy the situation? Cyril CyrilTintarev (talk) 11:23, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
