My previous article regarding www.elala.in was deleted. I have requested for a draft now. Have made necessary changes to the article as it's neutral and information, just for public information. Please suggest in detail if any changes required. I would be really thankful. Regards, Hiren Gajjar Hiren.seawind (talk) 02:23, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Hiren.seawind, the reviewer is correct, the draft text is quite blatantly promotional. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:21, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

HeLlo my name is Tyshon A hip hop artist from ct. I was wondering why did my article submission get decline, and is there any assistance you guys can give me on resolving this issue for approval

- First, just as the reviewer says, you did not provide independent reliable sources. Second, autobiographical articles in general are strongly discouraged. They are often very promotional, and yours is no exception. Third, I don't think that any of the reviewers here are likely to provide you with the sort of assistance that you want, because Wikipedia isn't the place to promote yourself.

I have updated references and citations, but some of my media and articles are no longer linked in the internet. I have verified each of these references with actual printed copies of each article, magazine, or mention. Can I leave these references in this article if I only have the printed materials, but no live links? Thank you very much for your help.
- Hi Ngfields223, sources do not have to be online, so magazines and newspapers are acceptable. You must however provide sufficient detail of the source article so that someone else could find it; article title, author, page number, magazine/newspaper title, publication date, and if it exists the ISSN number of the publication. The {{cite news}} and {{cite magazine}} templates are useful as they consist of a "fill in the blanks" form to add the required details. Please see the Referencing for beginners guide for further detail. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
