I am trying to establish a page for Mass Soccer as its an important group and cited by several other soccer pages in Wikipedia but no one has established the page yet. My initial draft was deleted and moved back to my draft. It said I needed more citations so I added two more. Can someone let me know what I am missing and why or why isn't my sources the type that fit the requirements? I will gladly make necessary edits as needed. |

Hey! I feel it's pretty necessary to create a page for this show as it is a daily-soap that is running and other shows like Mehndi Hai Rachne Waali and Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha too have pages. The sources too seem reliable. Please take a decision you think is wise, Thankyou :)

Not sure if this page (Mudiwa Hood) was pushed to the mainspace prematurely or what, but there is a ton of AFC templates/comments at the top of the page. It popped up on my list of files to assess for WP:Biography, but I'm not involved with AFC to know the proper process here. I would appreciate someone taking a look and either cleaning it up or draftifying or something. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 13:28, 16 August 2021 (UTC) Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 13:28, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

14:33:32, 16 August 2021 review of draft by Berglt84
I do not understand the reason my submission was declined. The only note given by "MurielMary" was that "references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject." However, user "Bkissin" wrote in his initial evaluation that "Brown probably meets WP:NPROF or WP:NMUSIC, but it should be looked over for tone/puffery," so I do not believe the subject himself is unqualified or lacks sufficient notoriety for a dedicated article, and I tried to use a diverse pool of reputable independent sources, including IndyWeek, the Herald Sun, and Pulitzer. (I used the official bios from Duke University-affiliated pages to fill in gaps or provide more recent information.) The rules regarding sources recommend peer-reviewed articles, but peer-reviewed sources would be irregular for biographical information. Are there specific references or sources that should be removed in order to get the article approved for submission?

- Draft:Aditya Tiwari ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
The earlier version of this page was deleted not because it was not notable, but because it contained similar information to a previously deleted page and was poorly cited.
I request you to kindly look into it with more sensitivity and revive the page. This writer, author, and activist has brought about significant change in the queer space in a country like India where “queer rights” is a lot more necessary and required.
This page qualifies and should exist on Wikipedia because this person has sufficient notability to be here such as GQ, Grazia, etc and I see no reason to not approve this page.
87.89.61.199 (talk) 20:30, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Refer to the top table here:
- https://fiftyshadesofgay.co.in/aditya-exclusive-interview-queer-poet/ is useless for notability (connexion to subject). Interview with an insubstantial lede.
- https://www.thequint.com/neon/gender/narendra-modi-government-on-same-sex-marriage-activists-lgbtqia-reaction is a non-sequitur, though given it bills itself as a "4 [minute] read" and the article I see is nowhere near long enough to meet that, I have to assume that the article is walled and therefore can't really assess it.
- https://www.gqindia.com/get-smart/content/instagram-poets-weigh-in-on-the-pandemic is useless for notability (too sparse). Most of the section on Tiwari is quotes.
- We can't use https://yebhitheekhai.com/l-for-love-is-love/ (too sparse). This is a listicle of poems.
- https://lambdaliterary.org/2019/12/imagining-a-world-with-queer-royals-and-representation/ is useless for notability (too sparse). A quote and a couple of sentences, that's it.
- https://gaysifamily.com/2020/11/24/april-is-lush-takes-you-to-the-poets-inner-mind-and-warrants-emotional-engagement/ seems fine.
- We can't use youthkiawaaz.com/2019/11/april-is-lush-poems-by-aditya-tiwari/ (copyright infringement, no editorial oversight). The scans of the book's pages push this source squarely into WP:ELNO territory; we cannot link to or cite pages that infringe copyright. (It's one thing to cite the poems and critique them; it's quite another to get a copy of the book and scan its pages to comment on the poems.) Even if this were addressed, I can't see where it has an editor-in-chief, but I can see that it solicits articles from the general populace, ("Youth Ki Awaaz's open publishing platform enables you to publish a story or perspective on any issue you're passionate about."), making it worthless as a source overall.
- We can't use https://www.gaylaxymag.com/articles/art-culture/lush-plush-and-a-daze-review-of-adityas-april-is-lush/ (no editorial oversight). I don't see where they have a editor-in-chief listed.
- We can't use https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/digital-and-one-rainbow-lit-fest-is-back-with-second-edition-of-indias-biggest-queer-literary-event-3137933.html (unknown provenance). Not only is there no byline, News18 has a habit of performing black-hat SEO on the side.
- https://www.gqindia.com/get-smart/content/pride-month-7-incredible-virtual-events-to-safely-celebrate-pride-in-a-pandemic is useless for notability (too sparse). Name-drop.
- https://brignews.com/2021/04/13/coming-out-of-lockdown-look-at-me-now/ is useless for notability (connexion to subject). Interview in a listicle.
- https://gal-dem.com/was-2020-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-gender/ is borderline at best. There is some substance here, but half of the stuff about him is quotes from him.
- https://outnewsglobal.com/the-new-tiktok-trend-gen-zs-are-using-to-signal-their-pronouns/ is useless for notability (too sparse). Quotes, no actual coverage of him.
- https://www.grazia.co.in/lifestyle/culture/this-is-how-queer-people-find-comfort-in-friendships-during-the-pandemic-7617.html is useless for notability (too sparse). Most of the paragraph where he's discussed is quotes from him and his SO.
- We can't use https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2021/07/10547113/queer-coming-of-age (unknown provenance). It's impossible to tell from the text if this is Tiwari or some other person with the same given name of "Aditya".
- https://www.vice.com/en/article/88nq4z/never-watched-friends-reunion-tv-show-sitcom is useless for notability (too sparse). Quote.
- https://theswaddle.com/the-internet-is-an-emotional-outlet-for-many-but-is-crying-into-the-void-helping-people-heal/ is useless for notability (too sparse). Most of the two paragraphs about him are direct quotes from him, with the one sentence left over not enough to help for notability.
- https://www.sheffieldwire.co.uk/2021/03/08/lockdown-gave-us-time-to-focus-on-ourselves-can-post-covid-society-keep-this-benefit/ is useless for notability (too sparse). Quote.
- Your problem is that practically all of your sources "about" him are literally just handing him a mic to boast-rap. Sources that only parrot his quotes do not help for showing he's notable. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 22:30, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm attempting to create a wiki. The page was rejected because wiki is "not a missing persons site." Yet...

Findganignunt (talk) 02:19, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Findganignunt. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox or a medium for advocacy or showcasing of any kind. This edit indicates that however noble your cause may be, you are here for the wrong purpose. Wikipedia is not a missing persons site. It contains articles about some disappearances, when the event meets certain criteria, but routine disappearances – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. Several of the draft's sources were self-published or group blogs, which are not reliable sources. The remaining sources are heavy on directory/database-type sources, which do not help establish notability. The Washington Post is routine crime reporting. Bethesday Magazine is better, but is insufficient on its own to demonstrate notability. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:03, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

- OverLord Official Wikipedia has no interest in helping you get verified. If your Twitter account does not meet the special Wikipedia definition of notable web content, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources, it will not merit a Wikipedia article. 331dot (talk) 06:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- @OverLord Official: We don't do temporary articles, and I personally consider Twitter accepting a Wikipedia article for verification to be completely and utterly r-------. It's there mainly for the benefit of older personalities who have a history outside of the Internet, not for up-and-coming clowns who think it's that "one trick" that will get them verified (spoilers: We block users for that). I should also note we do not allow usernames implying official or shared use and urge you to change it ASAP. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 05:16, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

- Draft:Playseat ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
To all whom it may concern.
I am a passionate sim racing gamer and I couldn't help but notice that there is no article about all the major brands linked to sim racing (Playseat, Fanatec, TrackRacer, SimLab, Simucube, etc). After many talks with mechanic institutes students who would like to find more notions about the evolving world of Sim Racing (as one of the most representative phenomena exploding during the COVID19 pandemic), I started writing articles about the major brands to be published in Wikipedia, starting with Playseat, which is one of the most representative in the market.
I am aware that one fundamental principle for publishing on Wikipedia is a list of authentic and recognized sources of information to be quoted, but at the moment is hard to find sources to validate it, as the intelligentsia is still not willing to write about it, especially about the single brands, as we are in a constant situation where new, emerging cultures are not considered "culture" unless they are at least 40 years old. As a Master of Degree in Asian Contemporary Culture and Economics, I had this problem many times, when willing to prepare documents regarding Japanese Pop Culture in the first 2000s, when nobody was writing anything about it and those who dared to raise their voices were accused of not promoting "proper culture", while now, 20 years later, seems to be one of the most important subjects to analyze the current Japanese society.
I do not want to address anybody of Wikipedia, as I think you are doing a marvellous job in spreading knowledge between people of any age and country, indistinctively, but I would like to address a problem which is going to haunt me and many people who would like to know more about the subject of Sim Racing and which names, which technologies, which cultural impacts are linked to it, but I am blocked in writing as it's difficult to find valid sources to quote for each fact.
At the moment in my article, I wrote small strings of content quoting international institutions like the FIA, WRC and Red Bull Racing, which are not "academic" sources, but we cannot deny their authority, but it's hard for me to add more as it's difficult to find source to quote which could be considered eligible.
What else could I do to make my article eligible to be published in Wikipedia?
Please, I strongly believe in this project and my dream is to publish a whole network of information about this subject. Can you help me?
Rachele Canetti (talk) 07:09, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Rachele Canetti A company must receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources that have chosen on their own to write about it, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Please review Your First Article. If no such sources exist, then the company would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time, and no amount of editing can change that. If you just want to tell people about this topic or the companies involved, you might consider using social media or some alternative forum with less stringent requirements. 331dot (talk) 07:22, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

I would like to receive some help getting my article published. The review said my article is more like advertising than an encyclopedia. However, I have looked at EWTN and Twilio articles published on Wikipedia and find my content to be similar. Is there a way to make my content sound more like an encyclopedia?

My draft got declined because of the sources which I had already guessed would happen. The sources are all from the same organization which makes it seem very one sided on paper. But the article is about a sports discipline and the source is the official governing body over this sport, no one else has a say in the rules. There are other sources that explain the rules but I dont want to create a mess in the sources. Do I just add more sources anyways? Or is my article in fact sufficiently sourced, or is there something else I'm missing?
Official Dieborg (talk) 16:17, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Official Dieborg: to establish notability we need to see others have noticed and written about the subject in detail in reliable sources. We can use primary sources to confirm simple facts, however notability can only be established through the use of independent published, reliable sources.

The most recent denial is particularly unclear, as the sources span the author/subject, as well as other independent authors who cited the subject of this article, providing the evidence that the subject is considered an expert who developed substantial new work that advanced the state of the art in the subject's field of expertise. This article is being written to document the work this subject/author completed in their lifetime so that there is a single biographical account with evidence from cited sources that can be independently verified. Please approve this article of creation request, or please let me know how best to understand what the reviewer intends so I can help to add or edit as needed. Alternatively, if you concur with my proposal, I would appreciate guidance on how to proceed.
Like you I am also a volunteer and an enthusiast of the work of scientists and big thinkers and consider it a worthy cause to document even the most humble of achievements for the completeness of the record of science through Wikipedia.
Thank you.

- @Kosarjaff: Anything el-Ghonemy writes, even if he just coauthors it, is useless for notability. You have unsourced claims, an overcited claim, and two sources which evidently don't verify the sentence they're cited for. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 02:33, 18 August 2021 (UTC) (Re-signing for ping: —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 02:34, 18 August 2021 (UTC))

Thank for giving your precious time to review my posted/draft article. I would like to know the proper way to post my article.
I created a helpful article instead of advertisment for Author Tarun Bhatnagar.
Please help to write my article in proper described manner of Wiki.
Techprecious (talk) 12:33, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Techprecious: First off, and I will be blunt: What is your connexion to Bhatnagar? Second, I can't assess the bulk of your sources (language barrier) so I can't opine on the sources themselves, but the sourcing proper and the writing not great. There are some unreferenced/unattributed claims, quite a few of which are promotional in tone and would need to be rewritten or, more likely, eighty-sixed altogether. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 13:34, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

We had submitted a draft for review and approval. But the draft was denied and we believe this was due to our references listed. We used our website for references. Do you have any recommendation on how to better list references so our page will be approved? Any suggestions? We are working on a new draft, but would like some guidance on how to list references.
Many thanks.
- Read WP:Reliable sources. Anything the subject has commissioned, written, or otherwise controlled/controls the content of is not helpful for notability as we define the term; we're looking for fact-checked and independent news articles or scholarly books that have discussed the subject at length. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 13:29, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

I request you to kindly look into it with more sensitivity and revive the page.
This writer, author, and activist has brought about significant change in the queer space in a country like India, where “queer rights” are a lot more necessary and required. This page qualifies and should be included on Wikipedia because this person has sufficient notability from various independent sources to be here.

- Edward PhoneGenius I would suggest that you take some time to review some existing articles, and use the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia. It's also a good idea to edit existing articles first, to get a feel for what is being looked for in article content. Successfully creating a new article is the hardest task to attempt on Wikipedia. You will greatly increase your chances of success by going into it with some knowledge first.

All of the people in their space have Wikipedia pages, yet Advance America does not. Any help would be super appreciated as this is a learning experience for me.
- @The Google Ninja: All of your sources are junk. One is their website, one is Cision (which is never an acceptable source because they only ever publish press releases), and the other two are gov't websites, which we consider primary sources. No in-depth non-routine news reports or anything else that helps for notability as we define it. You also cannot use the presence, absence, or status of other articles to argue for your draft. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 22:57, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Jéské Couriano and Jéské Couriano: When a company acquires another company how else do they get the news out to the public other than doing a press release? The release on Cision is from the parent company Grupo Elektra which is stated announcing the acquisition. And the only reason I cited it was to validate the acquisition. That's how every company announces when they acquire another brand is through a press release. Is there something else you recommend? Also, I didn't cite their website. When you say "all of your sources are junk" 3 of the four sources are government pages, only 1 is Cision which I explained the reasoning behind. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
- Your goal is to demonstrate notability. Press releases and gov't pages do not do that because they are made at the direction of, or with direct input from, the subject themselves. (I should also note M&A news is routinely reported on as a matter of course and does not help for notability even if the story was in an outlet that wasn't Cision.) —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 23:23, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Why my article was declined?
Courtesy link: Draft:Preyas Sharma
- @Satendra1976: The draft was declined for multiple reasons:
- It does not read like an encyclopedia article. It reads like a 13-year-old boy telling about the book he just wrote (multiple times). We are not concerned with what the subject of an article has to say about itself.
- There is not even a claim that Sharma is notable, in Wikipedia's particular sense of the word. Please note the guidelines for biographies in general and authors in particular.
- Most importantly, there are no references. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. As such, all material therein needs to be properly cited reliable sources which are independent of the subject. No such sourcing is in the draft, and when I looked I found absolutely nothing about the author or his book other than the sites which sell the book. Without independent sourcing there is literally nothing upon which a proper encyclopedia article can be based.
- Lots of people self-publish books. Few of them are notable. I see no hope that this draft can be turned into a successful article, and I would advise you to turn your attention to other subjects. --Finngall talk 17:27, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

In looking at other law firm pages approved in the last few months (Faegre Drinker) the sources used here are far more independent. Can someone please point to a law firm page I should use as a reference?
Cew3390 (talk) 13:50, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Cew3390 I see that you declared a conflict of interest, if you work for this law firm you must make the stricter paid editing declaration, a Terms of use requirement.
- That an article exists does not mean that it was "approved" by anyone. I am not familiar with articles on law firms, but you should look for one that is classified as "good"(check the talk page) to use as a model. In the case of your draft, it just tells about the firm. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about it, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. Please read Your first article. 331dot (talk) 13:58, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Cew3390: Wikipedia doesn't have any featured or good article about law firms. That may say something about what poor encyclopedia topics they make. It would be safest to go by Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, but you could try Kirkland & Ellis as a better-than-average example. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:48, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Recently, my article on the lawn chair was rejected. They claimed that it instead, belongs under the article for garden furniture but I disagree. If you read the article on garden furniture, you will see that it is talking about permanent furniture for outdoor use. I feel as if lawn chairs are different enough and deserve their own article. They have a very different use and have so many different designs and so much history and I think that a section in the garden furniture article does not do it justice. I don't believe they count as garden furniture because I think most people would describe a lawn chair as more of a portable seating device that has many uses, whereas garden furniture is more of something to furnish a house or establishment which lawn chairs would never be used for.
LukeSinclair1 (talk) 14:54, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
I have read the section on reliable sources and sent a message to Nightenbelle - I may very well have not contacted Nightenbelle correctly. I believe I have used reliable sources and asked that Nightenbelle let me know which sources are being referred to so I can address them. The only two that might be an issue are the published corporate Annual Reports and if so, I'd like to know how to address that - am happy to copy,pdf, and upload the reports but have a feeling that will not be acceptable.

StoneyBellingham (talk) 17:08, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi StoneyBellingham. The main problem is not the reliability of the sources, but that many statements in the draft, such as the entire early life section, cite no sources, reliable or otherwise. Examining paragraphs at random, the third one of the career section makes a statement about Stone selling his share in Monogram in January 1983. It cites a source published in June 1982. I haven't read the source, but it can't possibly support something that happened the year after it was published. The fifth paragraph of the career section cites an article in Sports Illustrated. It supports the sentence where cited, and fragments of the rest of the paragraph, but much of the paragraph remains unsupported.
- Stone comes across in the draft as a dabbler. If he is notable, it is unclear why. What he is notable for should be explained in the first or second sentence of the lead. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:46, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

I tightened it up a bit as well.

PatSeeYou (talk) 12:31, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- @PatSeeYou: Using additional annotations in citations, particularly for books, videos, and paywalled sources, would help, as would more specific citations (which episode of "QAnon Into the Storm" and at how many minutes into the episode, for example). The draft contained numerous violations of our biographies of living persons policy. The obvious ones have been removed, but ensure none remain. Much of the draft, instead of being in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article, is written in a sensationalist tabloid style, with heavy innuendo and emphasis on vague "links" and "associations" that neither impart nor plainly summarize verifiable information. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:33, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:TheBirdsShedTears?markasread=225904452&markasreadwiki=enwiki#Request_on_13%3A21%3A18%2C_21_August_2021_for_assistance_on_AfC_submission_by_Salamanderxander
and I'm following up here as that editor requested.
I am trying to submit an article for approval, but it is being denied due to poorly formed submissions on the same subject taking precedence. I imagine that I should find the earliest submission, and merge in my content? However, the complication is that those earlier submissions use an incorrect title capitalization. "Elongate" and "ElonGate" have been used in various sources, but "ELONGATE" is the correct style, as that is the officially registered company name. What is best practice here? I can merge my content into the earliest submission on the subject, but then the title would be incorrect. Thanks to any who can advise.

- Hi Salamanderxander. Article titles for companies and products follow standard English capitalization, even if the company styles the name in full or partial uppercase. So if Wikipedia ever publishes an article about it, it would be titled Elongate (cryptocurrency). In light of Wikipedia's general sanctions on cryptocurrency-related articles, I suspect that there's little chance that any draft about it will be accepted for publication, but you can try merging the draft you've been working on into the older draft and see what happens. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:01, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

- Draft:I Demand Payment ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
I left a message here last month, but it wasn't answered, so I apologize if I'm repeating myself.
I'm requesting a re-review of Draft:I Demand Payment here, since the draft has been rejected and I can't submit it on the draft's page. There are now four reviews of the film and at least one other piece of independent, substantial coverage cited in the article. There is also a plot summary in this book. When it was rejected, there were only two reviews and less citations, but I think this now passes WP:GNG notability. Please let me know if I'm missing something or I'm not asking this at the right place. - Whisperjanes (talk) 18:16, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Whisperjanes. Kudos for improving the draft. Afc is an optional process unless editing under unusual sanctions (as original author FloridaArmy may be). As long as that isn't the case for you, and you don't have a conflict of interest, you are welcome to remove the various Afc templates and move the draft to mainspace yourself. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:26, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

- Draft:Phil Greiss ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Hello, I'm trying to make sure that everything is OK for my draft of English version about record producer Phil Greiss (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Greiss) I was told by reviewer "Curbon7" : "literrally every reference in this article was valid" wich confused not only myself, but some of the helpers on the IRC help channel. I have tried to make the article leaner, wich is a bit difficult since the person in question has been active for the last 25 years. The french article was approved fairly quickly with much more references. For the English version, I tried to stick to bare essential, and focus on the more international work Greiss has been doing since 2017. Any help or pointers greatly appreciated
Thank you
Henri Grace (talk) 19:00, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Henri Grace. Curbon7's comment was, "Literally every one of the 42 cited sources are not reliable sources." That is an exaggeration, because Ascap, Billboard, RIAA, and Grammys.com are generally reliable. A large number of the cited sources are not reliable, however, such discogs, musiccanada, and the French Wikipedia. AllMusic is reliable for reviews and album credits, but may not be reliable for biographical information or genres, and may not help demonstrate notability. Your plan to make the draft leaner sounds like a good one. Articles need not be complete, but they must cite only reliable sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:49, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hello and thank you for your reply. I have revised the article Phil Greiss according to your comments on references, do let me know if you get a chance -
Thank you and thank you again for your insight. Henri Grace (talk) 11:45, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I am wondering why my article Ed Schipul was declined? Looking to see how can I make this better so it can be published. Ed Schipul is a very important programmer in the tech world and has made huge impact.
Lashirley21 (talk) 21:24, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Lashirley21: The draft was speedily deleted as a copyright violation from his company's own web site. In general, we have no interest in what the subject of an article has to say about itself--all articles, especially those about living persons need to consist of verifiable information referenced to reliable sources which are independent of the subject. Further, copying and pasting copyrighted material (or close paraphrases thereof) is unacceptable under any circumstances. It doesn't matter how "important" he is--if he's made the "huge impact" that you claim, then it should be easy to find things written about him in major technical publications. (For the record, I took a look and didn't find a lot to go on.) Please read WP:NBIO and take a good hard look at whether proper sourcing can be found to meet the guidelines there. Without this, there isn't any kind of basis for an encyclopedia article about him. --Finngall talk 21:51, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Jaintnp (talk) 03:24, 22 August 2021 (UTC)my article is rejected
- Jaintnp I assume this is about Draft:Sushma Adhikari; it was declined, not rejected. You have not provided independent reliable sources showing how she meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable actress. 331dot (talk) 06:36, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Jaintnp (talk) 10:15, 22 August 2021 (UTC) National news channel are not reliable source ?
- Hi Jaintnp. A national news channel such as News 24 (Nepali TV channel) is typically reliable. For example, [1] is reliable for the credits list of the "Saathma" music video. It is not a reliable source for the statement, "She has appeared in numerous music videos". Also, "reliable" is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one to demonstrate notability. The blurb is a primary source announcement without any independent analysis or significant coverage. Contrast it with [2], from another national news channel and about another music video performer. The News 24 piece doesn't show how Adhikari meets the notability criteria for an entertainer. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:10, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Jaintnp (talk) 14:44, 22 August 2021 (UTC)according to your comment, I tried to correction it Properly. Can you check it

I reviewed carefully the feedback from Wikipedia team members and I removed all weak and insufficient references and weak copy and content. Would someone be able to review and let me know if you think it's better and if I can proceed to another review for possible publication?
- You would need to approach the reviewer that rejected the draft directly and explain why things are different now from when it was rejected. 331dot (talk) 14:04, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Request on 18:22:18, 22 August 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Doberran
First of all I want to excuse me for my poor English. I am Dutch and I am looking for somebody who may help to proceed.
I am confused because the article I try to publish on English Wikipedia has been refused 2 times although the same article has already been published in German Wikipedia en Dutch Wikipedia. See https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roosje_Glaser and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Glaser. The reviewer told me that the reason for not publishing is because there should not be enough reliable resources. I was a bit surprised because several reliable sources had been added to the draft. As has been advised by the reviewer I studied again and again all the instructions about reliable sources for English Wikipedia ( I did it already for the German en Dutch Wiki) and improved the reliable sources in presentation and in number. The second draft was refused shortly after my submission by another reveiwer using the same kind of argument that there were not enough reliable sources. I habe ask her/him tot specify her/his remarks and comments, told that the article had been published In German and Dutch Wiki and heard nothing back from her or him, also not after I ahev send a reminder.
So I don't know how to proceed and ask for help. Is there somebody who is willing to help me publish this article? I will be very pleased. ( In German Wikipedia a German of Wiki has helpend and it was published within short notice. Thank you very much and have a nice day Doberran (talk) 18:22, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

- Doberran Hello. Please understand that the German Wikipedia and Dutch Wikipedia are completely separate from the English Wikipedia. What is acceptable on one version is not necessarily acceptable on another. 331dot (talk) 18:50, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
The comments I did receive say that the sources mentioned in the draft should not be relable enough. The comments are quite general. I don't know how to proceed and improve the specification of the mentioned reliable sources without some more specifications of what is wrong about the sources mentioned in the draft and why a mentioned source is not considered reliable. Therefore am requesting assistance and will be greatful if somebody helps me to find the right track to proceed Doberran (talk) 19:12, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

why this yes: Mole Baby
and the game Draft:Fast Fox no?. Israelinfonews (talk) 21:46, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
- Israelinfonews Mole Baby is also likely inappropriate and I have marked it as such, thank you. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to be created and go undetected. We can only address what we know about. If you want to use other articles as a model, make sure the one you want to use is classified as a "good" article (see the talk page).
- Your draft just tells about the app. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the subject, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability.
- Your username seems to be that of an organization; if so, you will need to change it immediately; please make a request at Special:GlobalRenameRequest. 331dot (talk) 21:54, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

- Draft:Massachusetts Adult State Soccer Association ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
I am trying to establish a page for Mass Soccer as its an important group and cited by several other soccer pages in Wikipedia but no one has established the page yet. My initial draft was deleted and moved back to my draft. It said I needed more citations so I added two more. Can someone let me know what I am missing and why or why isn't my sources the type that fit the requirements? I will gladly make necessary edits as needed.
