Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (October 2)[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 KylieTastic 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Srikanth Goparaju/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:Srikanth Goparaju/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

I liked creating an article on the books written by me on Wikipedia.

I thought that being a free encyclopedia it will be less selective of articles to include on your website. It is good to know that there are numerous factors that go into the selection of an article that finally gets published.

I want to create a reference to my works given that some of them are very notable while others may become so in due course. This is to simplify life for those readers or learners who want to know what I have written. They should be able to easily find that information about me through search engines, Wikipedia entries and so on. I am also writing from India and as a management professional. These categories of contributions are not fully emphasized in the pages of your website so I hope my first articles will be considered. Thanks.

This isn't really a question, more an expression of a desire that we might look favourably on your projects. It's generally a bad idea to write articles about yourself, or your own projects. Wikipedia is not for advertising or self-promotion. Please trust that every editor who reviews your articles will do their best to follow the rules and policies of Wikipedia when reviewing. --Salimfadhley (talk) 23:37, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Srikanth Goparaju/sandbox[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Srikanth Goparaju/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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.
