Speedy deletion nomination of Bangalore Sisters[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bangalore Sisters, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

This is a valid biography of a duo called Bangalore sisters. The external links will be removed if that is being qualified as promtional content. Request to allow the content to be edited. ShravanthiRK (talk) 16:27, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bangalore Sisters[edit]

It looks like you based the first version of this page, created earlier today, on User:BangaloreSisters/Sample page.

I have asked that the history of the two pages be merged. When that happens, the three edits from October 3-5 from User:BangaloreSisters/Sample page will be listed as the first three edits of Bangalore Sisters.

A history merge is the most straight-forward way to preserve attribution in this particular case. Preserving attribution is a legal requirement on Wikipedia. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:25, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicts of interest[edit]

Your editing of Bangalore Sisters suggests you might have a conflict of interest as it related to that musical duo.

Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Paid editing disclosure.

If the paid editing disclosure policy applies to you, you must comply with the instructions on that page.

If the conflict of interest guideline applies to you, you are strongly encouraged to follow that guideline.

If you have no connection to the duo whatsoever other than as someone who appreciates their music, it might be helpful for you to say so in a reply to this message. This is completely optional on your part. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:30, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From your answer on my talk page, you have a very clear conflict of interest with respect to this musical duo. It is strongly recommended that once an article is in the main encyclopedia (as opposed to being a draft article, whose name starts with Draft:), people with a conflict of interest not make edits to it except for a few narrow exceptions. The conflict of interest guideline has all the details. It is also strongly encouraged to "declare" conflicts of interest.
Whether or not an editor has a conflict of interest, any article he creates will only be allowed to stay in the main encyclopedia if there is evidence that the person, group, or other topic meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Please read WP:Notability and its related pages as well as WP:Reliable sources, WP:Independent sources, and WP:What Wikipedia is not. I think they will answer most of your questions. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:16, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You have been told by davidwr that you must disclose your COI exactly as described in his post above. If you edit on this topic again without doing so, I will block this account.
  • When you write about a musical group, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the group or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what they claim or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Your text had no references of any kind, let alone independent third-party sources
  • You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
  • There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:45, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Jimfbleak I apologize for not declaring COI. After my earlier post was deleted, I have rewritten the article and would request you to look into it if the new write up suits the Wikipedia standards. I have gone through all the links sent by yourself as well as davidwr and have tried to implement the same to the best of my understanding. I have added sources which I was able to find. I do not have any more of third party links to add other than the links to youtube (their songs uploaded by notable music companies) or other music streaming websites where their songs are published for free streaming. However I understand that those links would not be accepted as reliable sources. Apart from that, I only have cut outs from the physical newspaper in form of images (unable to find them as e-papers to post links). I request you to help me understand if those are accepted as reliable sources to prove the notability of the music duo if I upload them to WikiCommons? I request you to guide me on what I could do, what I have missed & what I should correct.ShravanthiRK (talk) 15:59, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have still not declared your COI in the manner prescribe in David's message above, you must do so. Newspaper references do not have to be available on line (and mustn't be uploaded as images, since they are copyright), just give the relevant details. If you use a newspaper, it must be a good source, equivalent to, say, The Guardian in the UK or the Washington Post in the US, and shouldn't be an interview, since that just has them talking about themselves. You are right that YouTube, social media and sites like Spotify are not acceptable Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:21, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Jimfbleak, I have disclosed COI on the talk page of the User:ShravanthiRK/Bangalore Sisters and also in the edit summary as per my understanding of the material I read, that was sent by davidwr. I have also added citations with the newspaper details of the write-ups published about the Bangalore Sisters (which are not interviews/advertisements). The newspapers that have been cited are the popular ones in the region we live in. I have included other reference links as well that I found on the net to prove the authenticity of the information provided in the copy (trying my best to stick to the wikipedia guidelines and ensuring that they are not self editable sources). I have maintained a neutral, non-promotional tone in the copy, to the best of my knowledge. I request your guidance further, if I have missed anything or misunderstood any policy. Please help. Thank you!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bangalore Sisters (March 2)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by NoahDavid771 were:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
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 music-related topics). 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 when they have been resolved.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Information icon Hello, ShravanthiRK. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Padma Rao Sundarji, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Nathan2055talk - contribs 17:35, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing in the article indicates she has done anything to achieve our notability standards. She was a reporter and interviewed some notable personalities. She was removed from office and she contested it in a court and after multiple lawsuits won the case. Pretty run of the mill

Padma Rao Sundarji moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Padma Rao Sundarji, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

An article you recently created, Padma Rao Sundarji, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Padma Rao Sundarji (July 30)[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 Clearfrienda was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Already declined numerous times with very little improvement.
Clearfrienda 💬 12:00, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The main reason the article was rejected numerous times was because of sources. Upon receiving help & advise from other reviewers, it was learnt that print media with a detailed coverage of the subject is also considered for establishing notability. Now, print media references for the article with detailed writeup covering her, her work, her professional associations along with book review have been provided. The main issue (sources) has been addressed now which is what was the main improvement suggested by all reviewers. Request you to kindly explain the reason for this rejection. Thanks in advance.
