Your submission at Articles for creation: ImDontai (April 9)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Asilvering was:

This submission's 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:ImDontai and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

The comment the reviewer left was:

At this point, references are being added without giving consideration to their reliability. Please review WP:RS and do not resubmit until the sources provided meet that guideline.

Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 06:02, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: ImDontai (April 16)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by EDG 543 was:

This submission's 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Adding a single additional reference to "idolwiki[dot]com", which is user generated and riddled with typos, does not address the notability issue. Also, the "Notes" section should be removed in this case. Instead of saying that you got some of the info from a video, cite it (if appropriate).

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:ImDontai and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Your submission at Articles for creation: ImDontai (April 16)[edit]

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by CNMall41 was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: WP:TE - WP:CIR and submitter has been given advise on referencing without taking the time to consider what constitutes a WP:RS. Most recent submission includes introducing YouTube as a reference. Nothing in the draft indicates notability.

Links to draft articles[edit]

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Mac Lethal discography. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 17:50, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Star Mississippi 16:52, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ban[edit]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

FT kev (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I logged on wikipedia to look at my article for something, and I received a new talk page thing and it said I was banned. It said I was banned yesterday but I didn't see the message until a couple minutes ago. It says I'm spamming or advertising, which I am not focused on or trying to do. I am just here to fix things and currently make an article about ImDontai. I would like to be unbanned or be provided with a more detailed version of why I was banned in the first place. Thanks FT kev (talk) 19:12, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You may well have tried to avoid sounding promotional in your draft article, but merely avoiding puffy language and sourcing all your edits isn't enough. Your draft was declined four times, yet you continued, paying no heed to the notes you got pointing out that you weren't using reliable sources. In your last edit prior to the block, it was noted that you had more or less conceded the point and the issue was settled, yet you continued the argument.

Granted, you probably should have been blocked then, not two days ago. But the point is that you didn't let it go, and we had no indication at the time that you were prepared to.

I accept that your desire to have an article about ImDontai is sincere and genuine and perhaps not motivated by any possibility of remuneration. But, that said, a lot of people are trying to get articles about their favorite YouTubers on Wikipedia lately. You are hardly alone in failing at that effort, if that comforts you. The problem is that, for a YouTuber (or, indeed, any online celebrity) to be considered notable enough for a Wikipedia article, they have to have gotten significant attention outside of YouTube or TikTok or wherever, from the news media. Channel stats alone don't cut it. — Daniel Case (talk) 04:35, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
