03:58:02, 4 October 2020 review of submission by Mustafa Divinatory

edit

Hi,

Can you please advise are there any mistakes in the submitted draft? Also, please guide me on how may I alter this draft so that it may not look like an advertisement as pointed out by the reviewer.

Thanks Mustafa Divinatory (talk) 03:58, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mustafa Divinatory, at a brief glance, it looks like it look WP:PROMOTION. If you can provide facts backed up my sources that present a neutral point of view it will clear up that issue. I am also worried about WP:NOTABILITY as a quick search for it in the news does not yield anything other than job listings and the official website. My last concern is your username implies that you are involved in the company, if you could, could you disclose whether or not you are involved in the company?

If you are Sanjeevsharma1967, remember to log in before posting. You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. 331dot (talk) 12:23, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

13:14:02, 4 October 2020 review of submission by Geoffstokes

edit

I have had lots of feedback telling me why my page has been rejected but none of them reference my comments on my talk page. its a page about a small topic (a now defunct field hockey club) so will have limited external references but does this mean that Wikipedia is only for large topics or organisations? I have seen (and referenced in my talk page) other pages with fewer links.

I was connected with the club (who else would be bothered enough to write about it?) but don't understand why that makes the entry invalid.

I would really like to get my page published and would be grateful for any advice.

Geoffstokes, The real answer is solely to do with notability. If you can assert and verify notability then you are onto a winner.
We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 13:50, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Geoffstokes, Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. Fiddle Faddle 13:52, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suraj0791 (talk) 21:10, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that like most of us, you are not notable in Wikipedia terms, so we cannot have an article about you, your draft had zero acceptable reliable independent sources and the content was in any case inappropriate, sorry to disappoint you. Try social media. Theroadislong (talk) 21:13, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Suraj0791, there is nothing about this person to suggest that he passes WP:GNG, so it has been rejected. I am using the telepathy interface 1.09.3b to examine your intent in posting with no actual question asked Fiddle Faddle 21:14, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

22:46:04, 4 October 2020 review of submission by Astro1995

Hi, I would like to know why this page was considered not notable as I have added sources to prove that the subject is notable, I have seen multiple pages on wikipedia that very little references and are up and live on the site. please explain, if you still believe my page should be deleted, then go ahead, but I would like an explanation. Thank you

Astro1995 (talk) 22:46, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]


the page represents an actual notable artist, and I have included a few references to prove so. I, before proceeding with the creation of the article, have done some research and noticed that multiple people are on wikipedia with very little references and are still up on the site or have been approved. So please explain why this is any different. I can provide links of these other wikipedia articles. Thank You

Astro1995 (talk) 22:59, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Astro1995 Please see other stuff exists. Other poor articles existing does not automatically mean yours can too. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us. This is why each article is judged on its own merits. Feel free to point out these other articles so they can be addressed, we can use the help.
Your draft was only sourced to sources related to the person; Wikipedia articles should summarize only what independent reliable sources completely unconnected with the subject have chosen on their own to say about it, with significant coverage, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Your draft also had much promotional language("a passion for acting", which is impossible to independently verify) which is inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. Please read Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 23:12, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
