Just blatant advertising still with zero independent sources. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia summarizes information that appears in independent reliable sources with significant coverage showing how an organisation n meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage. Theroadislong (talk) 08:00, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

RJM (Artist) Page

I am working as an editor to develop a Wikipedia page for an independent music artist. This artist has been covered in several publications in the past, so I thought he would meet the notability requirements. My first initial drafts were rejected due to not having proper citations. My client then got to have a meeting with someone working within Wiki for tips and suggestions on how to keep the article factual and citable, but after following the tips and suggestions advised, the article still got rejected. Is there anything else I can add or remove to make this article meet the criteria? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mangolizer (talk • contribs) 17:04, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

You are being paid to edit, I am a volunteer of many years standing, I suggest you spend a few months editing other articles to get a feel for how things work here, Draft:RJM (Artist) fails WP:NMUSICIAN, once they have received more in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources, they might become notable, in which case somebody with no conflict of interest would be best placed to create the draft.

I removed all the unreliable sources from Draft:FoodBeeper

Hello, I've received your review regarding my article and made sure to edit it according to your remarks. I removed all unreliable sources (twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook) and added the translation tag to the sources in French and Arabic. I'd appreciate it if you review it again and approve it or else guide me on how to improve it. thank you. Rymknows23 (talk) 08:47, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks and peer-review request

Hi, thanks a lot for pointing out some issues on the "Dumitru Enescu" web page.

Citations: I have added references as requested.

COI: The page is written in a neutral way (basically it is a translation of the Romanian wiki page, created for a honorary member of the Romanian Academy). May I ask you please to peer-review the English article?

Thank you, Benescu (talk) 07:35, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Zaza Korinteli

Korinteli is a musician and that article is a BLP. Most of the BLP articles have Infoboxs, that's why added one there and the info written by me came from the lead of that article. I was not doing any test, I was trying to improve that article. If I did any error, please tell me here and ping me, otherwise I will revert your changes as per Silent. If here is any rule who say don't add infobox in living person's article, let me know, it'll increase my knowledge, happy editing.Success think (talk) 11:50, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Fore School of Management

Dear Theroadislong, I've once draftified Fore School of Management (6 months ago). Later I guess it passed through an AfC review and now its in a AfD discussion. I would have liked to vote there, but I'm refraining because of my past involvement with that entity's page. Since, we both are working on university related AfC pages and you happen to be more experienced than me, I guess you can take a better decision on this. There is something a miss with the nominator; a very new ID on AfD tagging spree. As long as they are doing justice to Wikipedia, I see no big issue as such. But, still an oversight from a seasoned editor like you will add value to it. -Hatchens (talk) 14:44, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Revisiting draft of Flajolet Lecture Prize page

Theroadislong, I really appreciate your suggestions (one year ago) for this draft page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Flajolet_Lecture_Prize You made two notes, namely (1) "Blogs are not considered to be suitable reliable sources, references need to discuss the topic in-depth with significant coverage and be independent of the award itself." and also (2) "The sources added are primary not independent." I believe that I have addressed both of these concerns. I notice that a few other people edited this page too, during the last year. Would you be willing (please) to take a look and see if you think that it is suitable to submit the page for approval now? Thank you very much for considering, and thank you very much for your guidance! MDW333 (talk) 01:35, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Theroadislong, it is safe to ignore my post now. I worked with some other editors, and the page is now approved and published. Thank you again for all of your advice last year! I appreciate you! MDW333 (talk) 11:35, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Sidney Wood: rejection of article

This is extremely disappointing. I have never met Wood but have the highest regard for his scientific work in my field. I could cite many Wikipedia articles on phonetics specialists which do not quote what independent sources say about the subject, but have nevertheless been accepted. I feel that demands are being made in the case of Wood that are not made for other speech scientists of comparable repute. RoachPeter (talk) 20:58, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

The existence of other poor quality articles is not an excuse to create more, see WP:OSE. Theroadislong (talk) 22:59, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

The articles I am referring to are not "poor". They are competent and objective summaries of the achievements of scientists in my field, but the authors of the articles have not felt it necessary to include testimonials from other parties. Your implication that I have submitted a poor article is offensive. RoachPeter (talk) 06:46, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

You can ask for other opinions here Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. Please be advised that ALL content of WP:BLPs requires independent reliable sources, it is not negotiable. Theroadislong (talk) 08:10, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
Thank you, but I can't imagine that asking for more opinions would help. I can see there's no point in persisting. RoachPeter (talk) 14:29, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
That's rather defeatist, the draft Draft:Sidney Wood (phonetician) was declined NOT rejected, which means with improvement it can be accepted. Theroadislong (talk) 14:39, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Eric Michaels

What is consider reliable when Wikipedia doesn't accept any copyright websites newspapers records online stores that sell the product of this individual. What is acceptable and considered reliable. Only Wikipedia articles? If so how in the world does Wikipedia expand? Is there any way where I can add websites reference links that are copyrighted? I don't feel like I am violating any copyright infringement rules. I am not stealing somebody else's work and calling it my own. I merely linking their information as relevant and proof to my writing which is only fact and not of my opinion. Please help I am a new Wikipedia member and I just want to post my first article which is a biography. I'm speaking to the individual for accurate details and I'm struggling to find ways that are acceptable to Wikipedia to back up my statements for details. Again please be understanding and, helpful thank you. I have been looking everywhere for this question to be explained to me and so far all I've been reading is a reliable source is a reliable source, which is a ridiculous explanation that gives me no information as to what Wikipedia accepts. All I understand is what they don't accept. So what is an accepted source?

Reliable sources would include newspaper or magazine articles about him, online reviews etc, but not Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia cannot reference itself. Your draft has zero sources, where did you get the information from, just cite where you got it from. In order for an article’s subject to be considered notable by the Wikipedia community, we require that it receive significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject this is what you base an article on. WP:YFA has more help,but you have started with the most difficult task on Wikipedia. If you are speaking to the individual then also please read WP:COI.

rejected submission (for an article on the Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics WABI)

I sent a reply/rebuttal/questions through the general channel, but I am not sure who actually gets it, so I thought I'd send you a message directly.

This is about the (revised) submission for the Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI), which you very promptly reviewed (thanks!) and rejected (not so happy, obviously ;-). You rejected it on grounds of (1) its looking more like advertising -- not being neutral, (ii) not containing references to independent, verifiable sources, and (iii) pointing instead to things I created. Each of these statements is in fact wrong: let me go through them in reverse order.

(iii) I did not create any of the sources referred to in the entry (references to proceedings and articles, Wikipedia entries, conference web sites, etc.), except for a single one, the WABI web page at wabi-conference.org. I have no association of any kind with any of the others, was not invited to review them, did not provide any information for them, etc.

(ii) All references (other than to the WABI web page at wabi-conference.org) are to conference proceedings, produced and published by academic publishers (Springer Verlag for Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Dagstuhl for the Leibnitz International Proceedings in Informatics), to journals from a professional society (ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, the main professional association for computer scientists, publisher of a couple dozen journals, including Ubiquity, and of several dozen conferences) and from another commercial publisher (BioMed Central, publisher of the journal Algorithms in Molecular Biology), and, for each conference, to the web site set up by the conference organizers for that year (if still up) or the corresponding conference entry in researchr.org, a platform that collects information about publications (in journals and conferences) across most scientific disciplines and is a widely used tool in science. All of these are, as requested, independent, verifiable, and trusted (at least by everyone in science).

(i) The entry I submitted is not advertising: it simply states basic facts about the conference, such as history, motivation, goals, organization, procedures, past events); it makes no claims of excellence or influence or attendance size or uniqueness or any other perceived quality. In fact, I deliberately copied in structure and in choice of references the existing Wikipedia entries for our two sister conferences, Research in Computational Biology (RECOMB) and Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) -- please look up those two entries, as the comparison is important.

The information provided in all three entries (WABI, RECOMB, ISMB) is identical in nature and is supported in exactly the same way -- if you check those two Wiki entries, you'll see that their references are, as for my submission, composed mostly of pointers to past meetings of the conference (proceedings and/or web sites), plus the next meeting, plus one or two references relating to their history (the ISCB society for ISMB, for instance). The only significant difference is in the formatting of the references: I simplified the text associated with each proceedings/website reference (writing just WABI 2xxx), whereas both ISMB and RECOMB opted to use the full academic style for each reference, taking a few lines for each. My rationale was that these references are just links (for RECOMB and ISMB as well as for WABI) and made to be followed by clicking, so that the full academic style significantly increases the size of the article without adding information. But I am happy to rewrite them in the full academic style if you prefer.

All three conferences are closely related, take place yearly, have been around for over 20 years each, share many of the same researchers in their governing structure, and share a large fraction of attendees each year. The wiki entries are nearly identical in construction and content across all three. Yet two are actual Wikipedia entries, but the third, the one I submitted, is rejected. Why? Have the standards changed since the ISMB and RECOMB entries were accepted?

Please reconsider your decision.

Thank you, Bernard Moret — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.151.219.183 (talk) 10:32, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Your draft was declined not rejected. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something or someone Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. Also see other stuff exists.Research in Computational Molecular Biology is tagged for notability and primary sources, so is NOT a good article to model yours on. Theroadislong (talk) 10:45, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply. So the issue seems to be notability. That does not explain why Wikipedia has entries for Research in Computational Biology and Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology even though they are basically identical in notability, but I do get the point about "other stuff exists", thanks!
I am trying to understand what notability means in a scholarly context.
The three conferences I mentioned are all "notable" in the sense that the papers published in the proceedings of these conferences get cited by many other researchers in other publication outlets (other conferences, other journals) and so collectively accumulate hundreds to thousands of verifiable references from reliable sources every year. It's not clear from the "notability" entry whether such references to individual papers within a journal or conference would count toward notability of the journal or conference itself. (Although that is definitely the case within the scientific community, where journals and conferences that get more citations are ranked higher.) There is also a question of how one would document this type of notability.
On the other hand, if the references must be to the conference or journal as a whole, then the whole category of scientific conferences and journals falls off Wikipedia almost entirely -- the nature of scientific research means that good conferences and journals do not attract attention from outside unless some unusual confluence of world events and particular scientific breakthrough arises. If that is indeed Wikipedia policy (and the many Wikipedia entries about scientific conferences and journals are all, in effect, historical accidents and now deletions in waiting ;-), then I will withdraw my submission. 98.151.219.183 (talk) 11:38, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Remitly AfC submission

Hey there! I'm a Remitly employee whose AfC request you recently declined. I wanted to follow up and thank you for reviewing the article draft. I tried to keep my submission short, use independent sources, and employ a neutral tone. Your decline note said that I fell short of Wikipedia's content guidelines, and I want to understand better in what way the draft wasn't appropriate. Could I ask if there's anything I could do to improve the copy and/or help my chances of getting a future draft approved? In particular, I'm wondering which parts of the draft you felt read more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia entry.

Hi, sorry I beg to differ. The draft has news articles, not only press releases, as sources too. And Forbes is a very credible source in the business world.

Thank you for your reply. I understand your concern, but I've one confusion here. It's a biography, how can I give sources of the life events. I researched a lot of biographies on Wikipedia before creating this draft.
Also, I must make your attention to one point that the biography is from 1910 - 1991 and the published work which can be challenged, for that I have made a lot of effort to find the sources for it. But how can I find the sources of life events? SaadShakeelKhan (talk) 19:26, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

I removed all the unreliable sources from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Johnel_NG

Hello, I've received your review regarding my article and made sure to edit it according to your remarks. I removed all unreliable sources (medium, IMDb, AOTY and Wikidata). I'd appreciate it if you review it again and approve it or else guide me on how to improve it.

Hi there!

Thanks for coming by and leaving me a message about this page.

You've marked this as a speedy deletion but I've left you a contested message about why I believe it should stay.

Would you be able to help me out in understanding how we could continue and work on this article till submission? I've read through the guidelines before submitting the article and don't believe it significantly violates any of them!

Wikipedia is NOT for merely providing information. A Wikipedia article about an organisation must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about them, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. Your article has no independent sources and no indication of notability. Theroadislong (talk) 09:00, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

My article draft

Thank you for the response on my article draft, Draft:Deborah Gail Stone. In response to your rejection, I just wanted to note that while I can remove the sources linking to DeviantArt and YouTube, the Blogspot sources are actually uploads of a credible magazine that happens to have been stored on somebody's blog. I can remove the blogspot URLs and cite the actual magazine for a more solid independent secondary source, but I don't know whether to keep the blogspot URL as the source's location or not.

Draft:Storelocal

Hello, can you tell me why this submission is "blatant advertising" compared to any other company pages? I don't work for them, I use their services and learned about them and thought they would make a unique submission. I also sourced industry publications.

Well, content like " Storelocal uses the combined strength of its 1,300 member facilities to offer a variety of services to members, including customer acquisition, financial assistance, marketing support, and technology" certainly looks like blatant advertising to me.

Draft:Nyasia Chane'l

Good Afternoon,

You recently approved my client Skerrit Bwoy's wiki page and I thank you for that. However you declined my other client Nyasia Chane'l page citing lack of enough notable references. I added more references of news stories and articles to go along with the two I referenced before (Jamaica Observer & SC Democrat). I added her songkick page that has a record of past performances and the announcement for her performance she did as part of the Soul Train tribute to Aretha Franklin. I also included links to her podcast information and links including an interview she did with with former Mayor of Peekskill New York. In addition I also listed her music releases which corresponds with her Disog page. I understand Wikipedia has standards however Nyasia Chane'l is a hardworking independent artist and entrepreneur and a wikipedia page would be extremely helpful to her career. Please reconsider. Thank you.

Roaduvila

Hello, I noticed that you had accepted this draft. I am not entirely sure that this one was ready for mainspace though, as it is lacking sources, and was created by a likely undisclosed paid editor, User:Travancorecet. One source is actually a link to a non-existent Wikipedia page, and the Travancore Engineering college seems to get an strange amount of attention in the article. If you still think that it is ready for mainspace, I would like to know how, as it may help me to improve my own reviewing skills. Cheers. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 07:12, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Update: Editor indefinitely blocked for spam, Travancore engineering college is now at AfD, due to a total lack of notability. Now that the notability, or rather lack thereof, of the TEC has been established, I'm going to clean up that article. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 07:39, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

No worries, there's not much left of the article now though after removing the promo stuff and removing some unsourced content. I noticed that they seemed to have slipped in "Thousands of students enhanced their careers successfully from this glorious and colorful campus." into the Roaduvila article. It was a rather sneaky bit of piggybacking their garbage onto an article about the local area. Anyway, I'll be watching them very closely if their unblock request is successful, though I doubt it will be. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 13:53, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

I noticed Wikipedia didn't have an article about a billion-dollar company Worldcoin. So I wrote a short one, only to be rebuffed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Worldcoin Could someone please let me know what is wrong with my submission? You are saying the article does "not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject" I am using references to Technology Review, Bloomberg, BuzzFeed News and CNBC, all of them wrote articles specifically about this project. I am not connected to the project, but I feel that Wikipedia should have an article about company that has a billion+ dollar evaluation.
