Draft:Classified Freaks[edit]

You moved the talk-page to article main space. I think I don't have to spell out this is an error. The draft itself isn't ready for publication in main article space for several reasons:

  1. It is mostly unreferenced. There's one reference to HuffPo. References to the shows YouTube own page or other YouTube video's are not usually acceped as reliable sources.
  2. Notability has not been shown by "significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources."

Hi Kleuske, thank you for your response. Apologies for this error as i am still new to the process of creating an article on wikipedia, please can you allow me to continue to edit the draft and build up the credible references i need to eventually get it to a stage where yourself or someone else can review it and decide whether it can be published. I would be very grateful if the page is not deleted as i have spent considerable amount of time writing it up and want to ensure the article is given a chance for publication when it is ready, thank you.

You're welcome to work on that page as long as you want, but please read the links I provided above. Also, for some reason I suspect you are closely connected to that show, so i'll add our policy on conflicts of interest for you to read. Kleuske (talk) 21:58, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can see that you have put a lot of work into writing the draft, and it must have taken you a lot of time. It must therefore be very disheartening to be told it may be deleted. The good news is that the deletion nomination was just for the talk page which you moved by mistake, and I have declined the nomination, so you don't have to worry that all your work may be deleted soon. However, I'm afraid the bad news is that a quick look at the article suggests that its subject probably doesn't satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and if not then any article on the subject is likely to be deleted, no matter how well it may be written. My impression is based only on a quick look, so I may be wrong, but I think it only fair to warn you. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.

Additional reading[edit]

WP:ELNO, which explains why I keep removing links to Twitter, Instagram and other social media. Kleuske (talk) 23:41, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can i understand why this policy is not implemented consistently to other articles? I found one article which has social media links so what is the difference to that article compared to the one i am working on?

I won't name the article or the numerous articles i have found containing social media external links. But if this policy or regulation is not applied consistently then you can understand my frustration.
