04:38, 7 November 2024 review of submission by DebugDruid

edit

It was stated that the Cranbourne West Secondary College page submission was declined due to it not being suitable regarding "What Wikipedia is not".

Can I please get assistance in understanding what specific reason the page violates from this and help in improving/editing the draft so that it can be suitable for draft submission. DebugDruid (talk) 04:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DebugDruid: this draft reads like a brochure of the school, quite promotional in both tone and content. And it is completely unreferenced, with no evidence of notability. You need to find some sources that meet the WP:GNG standard, summarise what they have said about this school, and cite each of them agains the information it has provided. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:18, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing thank you for your response! Based on the feedback provided, I have updated the draft. Is it possible for you to have a look at the updated version and let me know if it meets the WP:GNG standard and complies with the Notability policy. Thank you! DebugDruid (talk) 04:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid not, @DebugDruid. Two of your sources (1 and 3) are not independent, and 3 does not have significant coverage of the school. I suspect that 2 also doesn't have significant coverage either, judging by its title, but I haven't looked behind the paywall. Even if it does, one source is not enough.
The first step in writing a Wikipedia article is to find several (usually, at least three) sources which meet all three of the criteria in WP:42: reliable, independent, and with significant coverage.
There are two reasons which this should be the first step. The first is that if you cannot find such sources, you know that the subject is not notable in Wikipedia's sense, and no article is possible. The second is that if you can find such sources then they (and almost nothing else) should be what the article is based on. Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

Hello, why can I not create a wikipedia page about MagicCraft as a web3 company? What is missing ? Thank you LL1ghtOfHeaveNN (talk) 07:50, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LL1ghtOfHeaveNN: you're missing any evidence that the company is notable. See WP:NCORP, which tells you what evidence we need. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:54, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@LL1ght of HeaveNN: Also note that web3 in general is under a community sanctions regime. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

why my article is declined Saif0386 (talk) 09:44, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed your post for proper display; the whole url is not needed. The reason for the decline was left by the reviewers, this person does not meet the definition of a notable politician. Local officials rarely do. If he is notable for something other than being a politician, you could assert that they meet the broader notable person definition, but that requires significant coverage in independent reliable sources as to what makes him notable. 331dot (talk) 09:57, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:40, 7 November 2024 review of submission by Justina1111

edit

Hi,

I have just submitted an article for review in Lithuanian wiki. Your editor is asking to provide resources for verification. However, the article is about my family and I have uploaded a tombstone of the person, I believe it should be enough to verify. I am providing personal memories and pictures of a Lithuanian Noble family member.

Please kindly advise if you can approve personal records.

Thank you and best regards, Justina Justina1111 (talk) 11:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to go to the Lithuanian Wikipedia with this, we cannot help you with submitting it there. 331dot (talk) 11:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Justina1111: this is the English-language Wikipedia. If you wish to submit a draft to our Lithuanian sister project, go to https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/ -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:47, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to translate it into English, a photo of a tombstone is insufficient. You need to summarize what independent reliable sources say about them, showing how they are a notable person. 331dot (talk) 11:48, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

12:00, 7 November 2024 review of submission by Vlklng

edit

I want this article to be rated before I actually get it reviewed, the 2024 election has pretty much ended and I have wrote a new 2028 election article with help from another draft of it. Vlklng (talk) 12:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vlklng: we don't do on-demand pre-reviews here at the help desk. Also just FYI, you may want to be aware of an earlier version Draft:2028 United States presidential election which was recently discussed at the Teahouse. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:04, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I’m sorry this is my first time posting a full article. Vlklng (talk) 20:42, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:45, 7 November 2024 review of submission by Zafarquetta

edit

we don't know what is missing in this ? can u please clearify ? Zafarquetta (talk) 14:45, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you work for this newspaper, that must be disclosed, see WP:COI and WP:PAID.
You do not have independent reliable sources with significant coverage that show how the newspaper meets the definition of a notable organization. 331dot (talk) 14:49, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

17:57, 7 November 2024 review of submission by 193.74.242.230

edit

The draft Draft:Forum:Gym is marked by extended confirmed protection 193.74.242.230 (talk) 17:57, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. The page has never been protected. What it has been is rejected, with no chance of being considered further as incompatible with our mission as an encyclopaedia. (I'm also very certain we have an article on the subject.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

please Mcmatter, wait until the page is for extended confirmed protected 193.74.242.230 (talk) 17:59, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've no idea what that even means. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:02, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They just removed the AfC rejections and added a protection-notice template as if that would protect the page. I think this is a WP:NOTHERE situation. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:04, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18:10, 7 November 2024 review of submission by Adluvbasketball

edit

Hello, I asking for advice on how to get this page approved. I did change the tone of the original article but it was side I didn't. Please tell me what is wrong with the article! Adluvbasketball (talk) 18:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adluvbasketball Rejection typically means that a draft will not be considered further. If you can fundamentally change the draft to address the concerns of the reviewers, the first step is to appeal to the last reviewer directly.
I see that you claim to personally own the copyright to the logo and to have personally created it. Please formally disclose your relationship with the league, see conflict of interest and paid editing("paid editing" includes employment). 331dot (talk) 18:22, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I now see on your user talk page that you are editing for the Commissioner of the league; you said you were going to disclose this, but I don't see where you did(maybe I missed it). Did you personally create the logo, though? 331dot (talk) 18:24, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

21:35, 7 November 2024 review of submission by Basraharpreet

edit

What can I do to meet Wikipedia’s notability requirements for my website? Basraharpreet (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First, you must disclose your relationship with your site, see WP:COI.
You can hope that independent reliable sources take note of your website and choose to write about it, showing how it is a notable website as Wikipedia defines one. You can't force this issue. 331dot (talk) 21:48, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

21:39, 7 November 2024 review of submission by 142.3.32.138

edit

I wish to know what makes this article not qualified for Wikipedia. As we have adhered to the four criteria. It is an in-depth article that is backed by secondary sources. these sources are reliable as they are published journals and news outlets. This is an independent subject as it is referring a health unit that is within a credible, world renown University. Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks 142.3.32.138 (talk) 21:39, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By "we" I assume you represent this clinic; please see WP:COI and WP:PAID.
The draft reads as if it were on the clinic website; telling its own history and offerings. It doesn't summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the clinic, showing how it meets WP:ORG. 331dot (talk) 21:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
