18:39:28, 31 July 2017 review of submission by Shs326


Thanks for your review. I am new to Wikipedia, so I apologize if my work is not yet up to par. I have added additional references; hopefully they will be adequate. If the article is rejected again, I would at least like to stop the current Levantine Films link from redirecting to Donna Gigliotti's page. On her page, there is no mention of Levantine Films; in addition, it says that she is currently the head of Tempesta Films. This could be confusing. Please advise.

Incorrect title

Why did you do this edit without fixing the obviously incorrect title? That seems to happen in most cases where an article is moved from the Draft space to the Article space. Shouldn't things like that be routine? Michael Hardy (talk) 19:26, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

I see both words are mentioned in the article, so I couldn't know which one was the best formal; although I would imagine it was "spectrum", since it was in the bold lead. SwisterTwister talk 19:29, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

WP:AFC & #Wikipedia-en-help Suggestion

Hello Swister! I've had concerns brought to me by some of our volunteers in -help on IRC recently. We have had an influx of helpees that are a little confused by one of the comments you routinely make on drafts. Mainly the "please add all additionally available sources" that seems to be recurring. May I suggest you rephrase it to something along the lines of "please add additional relevant reliable sources" this may cut down on the confusion and we'd have fewer people on IRC asking about using spammy/barely relevant sources. --Cameron11598 (Talk) 21:52, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Re: Draft:Priya Hiranandani-Vandrevala

Hi SwisterTwister. On my UserTalk page, you will see my response to your 28 July comment. Huon, one of your fellow Wikipedia editors, kindly pinged it to you on 29 July. Perhaps I shouldn't have messaged you from my UserTalk page, but your Comment line there did provide me the "edit source" option, so I used it. I will try again to hone/improve the profile in order to meet Wikipedia's standards. In the meantime, if there is any specific advice that you can provide me regarding the references that currently appear in the article, I will very much appreciate any advice and direction you can provide. Thanks again for all your assistance to date, and best regardsIan.fraser1 (talk) 17:39, 1 August 2017 (UTC)



Draft: Vision Hope International

Hi SwisterTwister. I edited a new article for submission for Vision Hope International that you had rejected because of notability. I changed a number of the references, eliminated all of the information that I felt could be reviewed as "business-esque", and made the article more generic and less detailed.

Thank you for your comments and criticism. I hope that this draft is a much improved version from the first one that I submitted. If there is anything I can do to improve it, please let me know.

18:19:17, 1 August 2017 review of submission by Yiginerd


Yiginerd (talk) 18:19, 1 August 2017 (UTC) Hi SwisterTwister, is there any part of the submission that you felt like an advert. Can you help sanitize the language so we can get the word out to all those students in the developing world that, yes, they can finance that education opportunity in the US without cosigner.?

Mpower is a notable organization as it is one of the few lenders that give student loans to international students who cannot get loans from traditional lenders, which require a US credit history. The company was studied by the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank for MPOWER's new lending business model that did not require cosigners. A similar company called "Prodigy Finance" has a page with comparable language. I am not sure why this article is much different than that of Prodigy Finance. Even the Google search that international students cannot get student loans without a cosigner (below paid ads, link below):

https://www.google.com/search?q=can+international+students+get+student+loans+in+usa&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS721US721&oq=can+international+students+get+student+loans+&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.17763j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

20:19:09, 1 August 2017 review of submission by Yiginerd


Yiginerd (talk) 20:19, 1 August 2017 (UTC) SwisterTwister, thanks for your recommendation for including more resources. I asked for help from the live chat and they identified a few links which they found disreputable. Therefore, I removed them (Techcrunch, company website, and press releases). I added more press coverage from other industry journals (American Banker), an Indian newspaper which highlights how much MPOWER impacts the lives of international students (I am also an international student, who faced financial challenges while studying in the US, because I did not qualify for Federal loans). There is also a bio written by an educational institution (INSEAD) in France. There were also references in the original draft from US News and Forbes in addition to industry blogs such as Nerdwallet. Instead of deleting, please let me know what else I can do to improve the article. Thanks! Yiginerd (talk) 20:19, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

21:04:30, 1 August 2017 review of submission by Yiginerd


Yiginerd (talk) 21:04, 1 August 2017 (UTC) Thanks, SwisterTwister. I removed the links that could be seen as self-announcements. We now have references left from an academic institution, a central bank, national newspapers/magazines and consumer blogs. Let me know if this is sufficient. Thanks once again for your specific instructions. Yiginerd (talk) 21:04, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Articles

I see that you have left a message on my talk page saying Advertising will not be accepted. Could you please be more specific on which article you are referring to. User:Glany222 talk 07:25, 01 Aug 2017 (UTC)

It seems, Glany22 I was referring to the article you started in March, which in its current condition, it formatted instead as a business profile and is without the needed major independent news and, remember that announcements, notices or similar cannot be weighed into notability itself or its achieving it (notability cannot be inherited either).

Draft article comments

I don't know if you were aware of this discussion from a couple of months ago for a recent draft article you commented on. ww2censor (talk) 22:51, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

13:05:36, 2 August 2017 review of submission by Wspr81


Thanks for looking over the page, I appreciate your time.

I've added better formatting to the references to demonstrate that media coverage was from organisations independent of the ASB. I've added stats to the conference that is organised by the ASB (>800 attendees per year). I've added funding (NZ$48,000) received in New Zealand to facilitate National Biomechanics Day, which is lead by the ASB.

I recognise that the page is relatively brief but I'm hoping it can be built upon over time. Do the above demonstrate the notability of the topic?

Draft: Maltz Jupiter Theatre

Hello Swister, your comment on the draft submission of Maltz Jupiter Theatre requested all reviews... There are quite a few over the theatre's history. Attached are some references.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Where would I include these in a submission? They seem too specific for mention anywhere organically. Thank you!


While I have your attention, I also want to ask about my draft for Invictus Security. Your comment was that my sources weighed "only as announcements or notices," which I agree with as to a couple, but four were community interest pieces in the company or major news coverage of events... The company's involvement in major world events, as evidenced by the credible references, seems to give it notoriety and notability. The sources I originally included were the most credible, unbiased, encyclopedic sources I could discover regarding the company. Are you sure they don't qualify?

Draft: Dr. Marisa Navarro

Dear SwisterTwister,

thanks for taking the time to review the Draft:Dr. Marisa Navarro. I have introduced two more references, that I hope you find significant and relevant. If you think they are not solid or relevant, no worries. I only wanted to help talking about this doctor mentioned, in this pages on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_well-being

I understand, that Emotional well-being, is a modern medical disclipline, and there is only a little infomration about it, ins spite of been scientifically proven. This another the reason why I decidec to write, this draft about her, because Dr. Marisa Navarro, is one of the most representative person on this medical speciality.

Thanks anyway, I wish you a happy day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vanessa Brizu (talk • contribs) 09:08, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Submission at Articles for creation: Siltanen & Partners (August 3)

First off, thank you for taking the time to review my submission, I hope to able to sufficiently address your concerns for eventual publication. In your comment, you mentioned that notability cannot be inherited. However, given the nature of the organization as an advertising agency, Siltanen & Partners notable work is always going to be attached to other business. The significance of an advertising agency is inextricably tied to its current and past client roster. That's not to say that the work isn't significant in it's own right. In the industry, the work of it's founder, Rob Siltanen is well known; his "Think Different" manifesto he wrote for Apple was used in lectures by multiple professors of mine as I pursued a degree in advertising.

Additionally when you critiqued the article's "information and sources [as] being tied to announcements or notices", it doesn't seem like a fair characterization. Many of the cited sources are news stories which feature Siltanen & Partners as the main focus, with any client mentions serving as anecdotal. And when the reverse is true (i.e. articles' headlines being about a brand's advertising campaign), the write ups are sourced from well-known industry publications and confirm Siltanen's work on the client's behalf. The few "announcements" included (press releases from businesses represented by Siltanen and Partners) seemingly would be a legitimate means to verify client relationships, campaign statistics, and dates.

I would appreciate that you revisit the submission. Not to say that its perfect in its current form (as I am new to wikipedia and can make more specific adjustments if you were to provide them) but I do think the idea that a company can't "inherit notability" is a bit silly when the business's function is to build their client's notability and having notable clients connotes prestige in the industry.

Again, I appreciate your feedback, I'm just a little frustrated that you seemingly wrote off the entire submission when other advertising agencies have similar pages.

AdHound (talk) 01:01, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

AdHound First, about the other articles, our policies have dramatically changed recently so we'll inevitably and currently are re-examining past articles; but as for yours, what you'd need is to emphasize all the best amounts of major independent news and not simply any still tied to announcements or notices, which wouldn't count into notability.

Draft:Global Cryosphere Watch

I understand your comments on the draft Global Cryosphere Watch (GCW) entry regarding notability and promotion, but I'd like to point out that they are inconsistent with many other Wikipedia entries. See, for example, the entries for the Global Atmosphere Watch, the International Association for Cryospheric Sciences, and the Global Climate Observing System. I'm sure I could find hundreds more that are promotional in nature and have few, if any, links to "major independent news". They are, nevertheless, very important and having Wikipedia entries is completely appropriate (in my opinion). The Global Cryosphere Watch was approved by and is part of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which is a United Nations organization with about 190 countries as members! That alone makes it worth having a Wikipedia entry for GCW. Having said all that, I added many links which I hope will satisfy the requirements. Jeffreyrkey 14:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

There seems to be an unusual COI, there are two sock groups, one is trying to promote the company's former founder Dr. Paul Nguyen (left in 2009) and another group is trying to add the recent products of View, two groups with two different goals. The page has a history of edit war and needs the attention of a senior editor to create neutral content and fixing history. Can you look into this?

Sundartripathi seems to be related to the accounts Jmplaton and 14kawadat who seem to be working for View.

Comments on my AfC drafts

Hi SwisterTwister, I'm a bit confused by your comments on my AfC draft (Gelsey Bell). Would you mind explaining? Do you mean add more citations to both? There are many more reviews of their performances out there, but I didn't cite them because they didn't have any additional information that I thought would add to the article - usually just a synopsis of the show/their role, and some praise, both of which I'd already gotten from other references.

I modeled the article off the already published article about Boosted (company). This article is much like an "advertised business profile" which you said is means for not publishing; however, the Boosted article has been accepted. Also, you said the sources were inadequate, but they are virtually no different from the sources on the Boosted article. There doesn't seem to be a reason the Boosted article should be accepted but not mine.

20:42:26, 14 August 2017 review of submission by Robertmooers


The reason given for the rejection of the post was, not enough noteworthy citations or references. One of the problems in the manufacturing industry is, there's quite a bit of tribal knowledge especially when it comes to the development and adoption of technology. The timeline submitted as reference is a best account of the development of MBD (Model-Based Definition) that I can come up with. Verisurf is the first company to develop the concept of MBD for use in a PC environment. Once this claim is approved and posted to Wikipedia we welcome anyone who would like to challenge the claim. There is a small circle of metrologists within the CMS (Coordinate Measuring Society) we have reached out to for possible additional references. Our attempts in writing the post have been as objective as possible, avoiding any adverting or promotional descriptions - just the facts. We will continue to research sources/citations about the subject and post additional references. In the meantime, we would appreciate you approving the post so we and the industry can continue to refine the page going forward.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Robert

  • Robertmooers In this case, what the Draft needs is all other existing significant sources (any amount, since we have no limits), but they simply can't be announcements or notices or similar, since we won't consider those significance in establishing notability.

Could you please advise what could be done with the article, so that it gets approved?

Mcmikhedoff (talk) 12:21, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

(Helping out here) Most of our articles on Fx brokers need to be deleted. Unfortunately, it will take a while until we get all of them done, tho we did delete an earlier article on this company. There's lots of junk still in WP, and copying it doesn't help. I will look at the two articles you mention..
I can tell you an excellent way to get an article on your company in WP. Wait until the company is important enough that someone unconnected with the company writes one. Take care of your business, and advertise somewhere else. DGG ( talk ) 13:33, 11 August 2017 (UTC)


Hello DGG( talk ). Thank you for the comments. Do you think those two articles that I indicated above should be nominated for deletion? Or should they remain? What is the line between the forex articles that can remain, and the ones that do not? Regarding the unconnected editor - from my point of view it looks like a way to encourage undeclared paid editions, rather than the person manifesting their “conflict of interest“. Anyways, could you please advise what could be done with the article, so that it gets approved? Mcmikhedoff (talk) 13:03, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
As I said, the way to get an article approved is to wait until the company is important enough that someone unconnected with the company writes one.
As for the present version, if it is moved to article space, I would advise nominating it for deletion. If it remains in draft space, it will probably be automatically deleted in 6 months. If you want it removed sooner, place a line reading {{db-author}} at the top of the page. DGG ( talk ) 14:47, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
OK, I got your point. However, could you please answer the question regarding IG and CMC pages, and the line between the forex articles that can remain, and the ones that do not? Moreover, CMC article was created by CMC Markets PLC user, and IG article was edited by IGwikiedit user.
Hello SwisterTwister, could you please give your opinion on this issue?

"All sourcing"

You need to stop requesting "all sourcing" from editors. I've seen this a bunch lately, and I'm not quite sure why you're doing it. Including all sources is a great reason for declining an article, not for accepting it. Quality over quantity; we do not want a billion first-party sources or trivial mentions. We want only reliable sources that support encyclopedic information found in the article. Assuming this is just an issue of wording, I'd recommend asking for "more reliable sources which support notability and verify article contents". This better explains our inclusion criteria and other core content policies to new editors. ~ Rob13Talk 02:29, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

  • Actually based on even the sources I've witnessed in recent AfC Drafts, they included literal press releases and republishers company notices; by saying "more relibale sources", it wouldn't actually be relevant since such forementioned sources wouldn't fit that. As for the sources, I actually mention how such press releases are unacceptable regardless of where it was hosted. Quality, not quantity is actually not relevant since the quality of sources was both far too few and empty on showing Notability. I've never at all claimed we need a billion sources, instead I've said "all other existing news that isn't tied to the company itself". As an ending note, I never at all said "all sourcing" but instead a serious focus on meaningful sources and this is exactly what WP:Notability cites as its text. SwisterTwister talk 02:37, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
    • You're replying as if I'm commenting on a specific article. I am not. I'm commenting based on a pattern I've observed for myself over the past month or so and which has been pointed out to me going back much farther than that. Search "Draft: add all sources" in your search bar. You will find nothing but your own comments asking editors to add all sources (with various different choices of phrasing, of course). For one example, see Draft:Gontães, where you acknowledge notability but ask for "all additional major sources". This is just incorrect advice, any way you slice it. Does it need more sources? Yes. More reliable sources that support the article content. Not "all additional major sources". While I'm trying to approach this in the spirit of critical feedback rather than something "formal", I do want to be clear that this is a warning to you that a particular pattern of incorrect advice must stop. Giving incorrect advice to new editors on a consistent basis and failing to adjust your advice to feedback may be disruptive and could be sanctioned as such. There's no reason for this to go in that direction; this is as simple as adjusting how you phrase things. ~ Rob13Talk 02:46, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
And I have rephrased things and yet I got another criticism within instant time; therefore how would it be disruptive if I'm getting the same message? In the linked Draft above, I meant major to signify major published sources. I can't see how this can be rephrased anything differently beyond maybe "significant" instead. SwisterTwister talk 02:50, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
Also, your example is from January; the last message I got about this was a coup weeks ago. Therefore the above example is highly non-relevant. Can you find any examples of concerning comments in a recent context, especially since the last thread which can be found in the talk page history? SwisterTwister talk 02:56, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
I've seen things about recently, but I don't keep track of them in a notepad or anything like that; I'm commenting generally. I provided one example to show you what I mean. Focus on either (a) additional sourcing needed for notability, or (b) additional sourcing needed for verifiability when you're communicating to newcomers. The emphasis should be on policies/guidelines, not adding sources for the sake of adding sources, and it's the job of the reviewer to explain the policies. The word "all" should never be used. ~ Rob13Talk 04:32, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
As you can see from any review I've made in the last 2 months, I've explicitly stated "all existing" or "other existing" and I never have inserted anything else. In fact, I should note I actually rotate my statements ever other month or so (as I always have for years now), so something from January is especially outdated. As for (b), I actually currently use a variant of that and it's "additional sources overall" or "additional sources for enhancing"; I've used this because they not only comment the article is currently supposedly verified, but whether it still needs any changes for final acceptance; therefore, because some pages are in fact verified, but there's simply not enough accompanying sources. Vice versa, there are articles where they were notable, but indeed additional sources would've enhanced it. There's been criticism and even AfD nominations simply because the article wasn't enhanced enough. This is also because there have been AfC authors who state "I have other sources that I can add if you need them", and this happened so frequently, it became clear they would only understand it if they were told to add all of them; simply saying "additional" hasn't ever answered their question because they'll actually ask for a specific number. Because I can't know how many sources they actually have access to, I therefore use "all". After all, WP:Notability says multiple. A lot of the pages where I would've commented about this was where there was either 1 or 2 simple sources as either "sentences" or a "quick line" of a source. SwisterTwister talk 04:39, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for the clarification. "All existing" is still wrong. If there is confusion, it is your job as a reviewer to explain to them what the actual requirements are (WP:GNG and WP:V). You obviously shouldn't be taking a shortcut by delivering incorrect advice just to avoid that more detailed explanation. You may wish to type up a detailed explanation, save it in a text file, and copy-paste if you dislike typing out the detail. ~ Rob13Talk 16:27, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Draft:John C. Pollock

I saw your note at Draft:John C. Pollock. I declined because there were almost no inline citations. Regardless of what WP:PROF says, WP:BLP supersedes it and inline citations are necessary. Now, if you really did mean "the comments themselves" then I rescind my statement, but my decline had nothing to do with PROF-related issues. Primefac (talk) 16:13, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Primefac. WP:PROF is an independent criterion for inclusion. It is of course still subject to BLP--there needs to be documentation ofthe claims. There documentation must come from a reliable source, not necessarily a third party source. It has been consistently held in dozens of discussions at RSN and AFD that the official school website is a RS for the plain facts of a career, and that if this shows something that meets any of the specifics at WP:PROF, nothing more is needed. If it is necessary to show being an authority in one's field, this is based upon citations, and Google Scholar (or ISI Or Scopus) for the citation information necessary to show the importance. But, let us say that you disagree with these statements. The way to upset them is to do so in a discussion, usually done of the basis of some test AfDs to see the community feeling. It is not appropriate to not repeatedly hammer on individual instances, especially on individual instances created by a single editor--an editor whose articles on academic faculty have almsot always been approved by the community. DGG ( talk ) 05:42, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
DGG, I have genuinely no idea what your point is. This post is eight days old, was already archived, and your reply has almost nothing to do with my decline or ST's reply (via edit summary). I commented here because I misinterpreted that ST was commenting on my "lack of inline citations" decline, which he wasn't. This means that everything after It is of course still subject to BLP in your statement above is basically moot. I'm happy to discuss the merits and detractors to PROF as they relate to BLP, but hijacking an archived post from another user's page isn't really the best way to start that discussion. Primefac (talk) 16:43, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
My point is that BLP is not a problem here: the official sources from the university adequately reference the material and are reliable enough both for WP:V and WP:RS. In 10 years working on this material I've found only 1 genuine and 1 possible misstatements in academic CVs. The only CVs that are really problematic are those of politicians. As for hijacking, I try to correct misunderstandings about WP:PROF whenever I see them. DGG ( talk ) 04:14, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Request on 21:33:21, 19 August 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Petroblivion



Petroblivion (talk) 21:33, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to review the Oblivion wiki submission. I was hoping you provide a little more insight on what needs to be updated. I used the other two bands using the name "Oblivion" as a guide. In my opinion, my submission has more secondary sources that are verifiable. If you review both of those pages, many of the sources Oblivion_(metal_band) sites are links that do not corroborate the wiki page. That page only has two unrelated sources of the band, with one being an article on Blabbermouth, written by a friend.

Our band is signed through tribunal records subsidiary label Divebomb records and our CD has more distribution than either of the other two Oblivions. If you Google "Oblivion: Cyclogenesis: songs for Armageddon" you will note the global distribution and availability through major retail outlets such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc. I can reduce the page if that helps or I can include more links to reviews. I appreciate your insight and direction. I am simply a novice with Wikipedia and I am using the other two submissions as my direction to have our page included. Our label has other bands that appear on Wikipedia as well.

Thank you,

We do have limits

Please, please, please, stop telling people that there are no limits when it comes to sourcing. It falls afoul of CITEKILL, BOMBARD, MASK, and a half-dozen other essays that specifically state that we only need a few references for any particular sentence/paragraph/section. Sure, a draft may need "more sourcing", but it never needs "everything you can find". This is the second time in a week that this has been discussed with you, yet it appears that you're choosing not to listen and instead simply changed your wording from "all available sourcing" to "we have no limits". That doesn't fix the issue. Bad advice is almost worse than no advice at all. Primefac (talk) 16:48, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

I was asked by ST to look at this: I interpret was said as "we have no fixed limits" not that we prefer to get everything we can. I do think my suggested wording here is a little clearer. DGG ( talk ) 04:40, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
DGG, certainly, your wording is clearer, but as mentioned by Rob above (and became clear very quickly in a recent case regarding a new AFC reviewer) we are dealing with new editors who often have no idea what we're talking about. 85% of the people coming into the IRC help room are asking how they can improve their drafts, and many of them ask us what the reviewer meant in their "decline" comments (and yes, I'm referring to all reviewers, not just ST); it's super-important for us to be very clear about what we say when we reply to those with questions so they don't need to come into IRC for further clarification.
We (the AFC reviewers) interpret phrases like "all available sourcing" or "there are no limits" as "please add more reliable sources" because we've been doing this for years, but it's sometimes easy to forget how much we've learned simply by hanging around for a while. There's nothing wrong with breaking things down to a simple level; we're not getting style points for brevity or wit. Thus, I'm just requesting that SwisterTwister put some thought into how they respond. Maybe a userspace template? Primefac (talk) 15:47, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Nice deflection...
I assume you're talking about the decline notices, which are all here. I do suggest, though, if you're going to make major changes that they be discussed first (if only to get tacit approval). WT:AFC would be the place to do that. Primefac (talk) 18:35, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Revised Aptar Stub for Review

Hi,

Per your instruction, I have revised the Aptar article. All sources are independent and journalistic in nature. Please take a look when you can.

Again, disclosing COI.

-- Delgadilld (talk) 19:38, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

  • Delgadilld Unfortunately, in this case, the sources are still too suggestive of simple announcements or notices and not major independent in-depth news coverage we need instead; also, note that even republished announcements or notices or ties to this can still be considered unacceptable for notability, given it wouldn't be significant in weight. SwisterTwister talk 21:04, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
User:SwisterTwister - Hi... A number of thoughts here. First, I would imagine that if this stub article were even more in-depth, Wikipedians would reject it on the basis of its authorship alone given COI. I'm just trying to give objective volunteers a starting place, since writing a more complete article might be a wasted effort from a COI perspective. Second, in terms of notability, I would hope that a publicly traded company of our size and scope easily meets that criteria relative to much of what is available here. In any event, I've taken another crack at the stub. Let me know what you think. -- Delgadilld (talk) 18:12, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
Delgadilld I weighed the sources there and it simply won't show significance in notability: 1 and 3 are a local business announcement, 2 is a simple listing and 4 is a republished announcement and 5 is a trade publication announcement; all of these essentially still have the basis of announcements or notices, by or for the company. What's considered significant is the relevant independent news that wasn't influenced or tied to the company, since although the company public relations is clearly what motivates attention, it's not what we consider independent in terms of an article.

Hi thank you for reviewing my first ever wiki.

I spent several days reading before I created it and when I submitted it I was not really sure it was quite ready and now I see why it was not.

I have made many changes and added double the amount of references. I used other cryptocurrencys also listed in the top 100 which have existing wiki pages as my template and have now bought it upto a similar standard.

I think being listed in the top 100 on coinmarket cap is a very significant independent reference and I have now referenced that correctly. I think it is ready for submission is there anything else you could comment on before I submit?

Thank you. Since this is good to go, should I now wait to see if it's accepted, or will you do this?

I'll continue to add sources, as well.

Thanks.

  • Jakemadoff210 Unfortunately, weighing them both separately and together, there's not enough substance in notability as they still include sources based on announcements or notices, for example, the ordinary activities or actions by the company itself. Instead, we need major independent news that is completely univolved from a public relations tone (we have no fixed limits on sources that can be added); obviously a lot of existing news is going to be influenced or tied to this, but since companies are not given any exceptions, it still wouldn't count to assured notability.

Hi!

Just wanted to clarify some things regarding the declining reason for Luminar draft

On my talk page you said that "Currently all things considered, additionally available reviews would help here."

Did you mean that I need to:

- add reviews only as references to the already written text, or

- add new text and reviews that support it, or

- add more references to the "Reviews" section

18:11, 19 August 2017 review of submission by Rileysandel on Prosperity Indiana wikipage

The page was deleted and removed because it was considered to be an advertisement. The page in no way is an advertisement and I have no affiliation with the organization. As part of a class project, we made the Wikipedia page to be an informative platform for non-organization members to read up on the past actions of Prosperity Indiana. The group does several projects across the state of Indiana and therefore it seemed -- to the college students enrolled in the course -- that a more public reference would be admirable: we chose Wikipedia to make this platform.

The class needs the page to go live and in no way is it advertising the group. It is explaining the organizations history in order to inform concerned/interested community members about the group.

We used sources from several news sources and other websites. Let me know what I can do to change the result. If nothing else I need access to the information typed on the page, which I have no access to.

Thank you Rileysandel (talk) 15:06, 29 August 2017 (UTC)Rileysandel

  • Rileysandel In this case, there was enough to delete as by our WP:Criteria for speedy deletion given it was too close of an advertisement (including something that would mirror their own "About"), than something that could be reworked or rephrased. The best alternative here is to weigh whether there's enough major independent news uninvolved to the organization's own press releases or notices, as these won't help. Republished announcements or notices won't be enough as they aren't considered any differently than notices. SwisterTwister talk 17:11, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

How do I access the material on the draft Wikipedia page? Can you give me access to it so I can have the text and create a different platform?

In this case, the deleting user is known to not restore deleted material and it's a common occurrence here; if you can, it would simply be best to start anew and, if some of the relevant content was from a specific website, you can use thay alternative. SwisterTwister talk 14:20, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

I would greatly appreciate access to the text on the page. You do not have to make the page live, as much as I need the text information. I did not log the information because I was not expecting the page to be deleted and the information hidden. Simply pasting the text here is fine and I can comment 'done' and you can remove it -- if that works. The information and page were a part of a college course and we would all appreciate obtaining the text involved in the composition of the Wiki page. Let me know if there is ANYTHING you can do.

You made some recommendations which I've now addressed (I hope!) and I was wondering when it might come out of draft. Also, if you had a tip on how to make a screenshot image of the free platform appear in the sidebar? May thanks, Justin

  • Justin, the current sources are still not the independent significant coverage such as reviews and similar reception that would especially help here. Currently instead, the sources are too close as general or ordinary announcements and notices, wherever published. SwisterTwister talk 20:14, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

No, I did not violate my own copyright.


My draft "Plane of polarization" is allowed to use material from the blog post at http://www.grputland.com/2017/04/ambiguity-of-plane-of-polarization.html because:

  • I wrote the blog post;
  • The blog post, according to its "legal notices" (link in right-hand column), is released under CC-BY-SA 3.0 license — and the CC-BY-SA logo appears at the bottom of the article; and
  • Using my real name on Wikipedia constitutes sufficient attribution.

I intend to update the blog post to indicate that an improved version has been contributed to Wikipedia — if I'm allowed to contribute it. But I do not intend to provide a link in the other direction, because that would surely constitute a c.o.i.

Now that I have your attention, there is one further issue: On the history page for the draft article, all versions prior to 18th September are actually versions of my sandbox, having nothing to do with the topic of the proposed article. This situation arose because I composed the draft in my sandbox, accepted the prominent invitation to request creation of the article, and then followed the prominent suggestion that the submission be moved to draft space. I do not need access to those earlier versions of the sandbox, because I have my own backups.

Regards and thanks.

As requested, I have added two more extensive independent reviews of the platform, from Bart Read at BartRead.com and Dharshan Rangegowda at ScaleGrid.com (formerly MongoDirector). There are now ten such reviews, from, amongst others, Microsoft, IBM (compose.io), Tech Republic and several independent bloggers. I hope this is sufficient citation to indicate that the Studio 3T platform is of genuinely encyclopedic interest and also verifiable.

My article had a feedback as this from your end "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.

Thank you for your review of my article for creation IAN COCKERILL. I came on line this morning to add a reference which I hope will establish Cockerill's notability as an important figure in South African mining.  Last night (3 October 2017) at a function in Johannesburg South Africa, Cockerill was inducted into the South African Mining Hall Of Fame. So far there is only one reference to this matter in the local mining press - Please see the final paragraph of the referenced article covering the event as a whole - the last paragraph of the article lists Cockerill and two other notable South African mining figures who were inducted into the Mining Hall of Fame. I hope that this meets the Wikipedia notable requirements and that this article for creation IAN COCKERILL can be approved. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi SwisterTwister. Thanks for reviewing my submission of Draft:Fastly. While I agree that many of the sources in the article is based on announcements and may not overcome the bar set by WP:ORGIND, I'd argue that the following sources are especially important in establishing notability because of the depth of coverage, or because they are not based on an announcement made by Fastly: Reference 1, Reference 2, Reference 3, and Reference 4. I just wanted to make sure that you had a chance to review them when you reviewed the article. (I'm just concerned that I may have included too many references which may have masked the most important ones.). Thanks! --Sykes83 (talk) 20:13, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Sykes83 (talk) 20:13, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Sykes83 Yes, however, by our standards and measuring its significance, it's easy to see these are essentially repeating to a large or similar level of what the company says; for example, the first one is about a partnership, which is obviously repeating whatever the company announced itself; the second is then about a general subject that isn't solely about the company itself and the third is highly similar, about a general subject; the next one is not any different, how it involved the company's role in something. Although it may seem significant to the company, what we need is a higher level of independent significant news that isn't simply from a trade publisher or somewhere where's targeted to a specific business industry, or else based on the company's press releases. For example, an announcement going into depth about the company's current business strategies or what its current business aspirations are, would still be considered unacceptable, even if it were republished, since we weigh and consider the contents as one.

Review of submission by Jon Bowen

Hi SwisterTwister, thanks for reviewing the draft article I submitted on Arthur "Waring" Bowen. I submitted the article after reading the page about his home village Pontyberem at the bottom of which is a list of notable people. I thought Arthur deserved a mention - when I visited the village to find out more about him he was certainly well known, loved and respected - and I felt that he was at least as 'notable' as Shoni Sguborfawr, so I added his name. This was deleted and I was told I had to create a wikipedia page about him before he could be added to the page. I told the editor about his life and he didn't seem to see notability as being a problem ... anyone who has had an entry in Who's Who directory of influential people during their lifetime, and is subsequently recorded in the Dictionary of National Biography, has a reasonable claim for notability. I added the other documents/references for the sake of fleshing out the story. He was often in the press during his lifetime but he was not one of those vain people who keeps an archive of press clippings about themselves, and since he died long before the internet it's not easy to search those newspaper archives. He was also on TV several times addressing disability rights issues, but was not known as a celebrity. I trust wikipedia are not going to be insisting on celebrity status before acknowledging notability. I think the only other reference I can get hold of without days trawling through news archives from the 1960s and 1970s is his obituary, which was published either in the Times or the Telegraph. Would that additional reference tip the balance in his favour? It would certainly give him more documented coverage than the celebrated thug Shoni Sguborfawr. Also, I'm not quite clear what your comment is referring to: "notability cannot be inherited from others either". Who, in my draft article, is presented as inheriting notability from whom?

Djgilbert (talk) 03:38, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Djgilbert Please see our WP:Deletion policy which explains what classifies as unacceptable material and the explanation behind your talk page message; to clarify, what the organization's significance or purposes are simply not what would make an article acceptable itself; instead, it's both a non-promotional tone and then also independent coverage about it. The award you mention seems to be a specific field one or with a similar meaning, therefore it still wouldn't be substantial for our criteria. I'll also mention our page overly emphasized what its own announcements or notices, and that would be covered as unacceptable by our WP:What Wikipedia is not. SwisterTwister talk 03:42, 10 October 2017 (UTC)


Seems again to be taking a wrong interpretation of the WP rules.

Incorrect: The award you mention seems to be a specific field one or with a similar meaning, therefore it still wouldn't be substantial for our criteria.

So a national quality award program of the United States government available to any organization in the U.S. is not substantial for you? Please explain 

Wrong again: I'll also mention our page overly emphasized what its own announcements or notices, and that would be covered as unacceptable by our WP:What Wikipedia is not.

Award winners over the past 16 years are by no means "announcements or notices". The text represented a historical record of recipients of an award, some of which have gone on to be conferred a quality award by the President of the United States.

Request on 10:14:15, 10 October 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Roxana Gibescu

I am writing regarding this draft page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Paul_Crotto (which I have just edited a little since receiving your review, as in I have changed the order of references, put the most important ones first). I have received your message that I should prove the artist's notability through museum collections and art reviews, but I have done just that. I have over 15 cuttings of reviews in art magazines from the 60s in Paris, which I have included in the article, but it is true that I can't find this articles online. Please tell me how else to prove the existance of this art reviews articles (very complex articles dedicated to artist Paul Crotto) and museums or very important group gallery exhibition for which I can't find online proof, as probably they weren't archived (as much of the 60s in visual art isn't), though I do have press cuttings and gallery/museum cuttings and brochures.

Also, in this press cuttings and gallery brochures I still have a long list of notable art collection which have Paul Crotto's work, which I will add just now. Do let me know, please, what are the rules for references (important press cuttings and articles) which I couldn't find online, but I have them physically in press cuttings or exhibition brochures/catalogues. Just because they aren't archived online, doesn't mean they did not exist or that they were not important/relevant at their time or even now, if they were brought to the attention on today's public.

Review of submission by nitika.g4 (Oct 6, 2017)

Have removed all links to the VWO website and any content posted online by the company's CEO. Have also made sure I use many external references. Could you review again please?

If you could also explain why it is unacceptable to use an organization's publicly available material that clearly dates back years (and shows that it has a long history?), it'd be great. It's a 7 year old, leading startup in India and has some awards to its credit too. Quite noteworthy among Indian startups, but not covered by many conventional media because it caters to a niche industry. Please advise how an editor can work with that to improve this submission?

Hello I followed GrammerFacist's requirements for several weeks, and he/she modified the article according to notability standard and other standards. I'm confused why the article was rejected if he/she put most of the article together and placed attention on the sources, the notability requirement, etc. Tk8kpgt (talk) 07:37, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Tk8kpgt Unfortunately the number of current sources is still not extensive enough and this would need improvement on. SwisterTwister talk 04:39, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Could you help with this? I spend weeks following GrammerFacist's many recommendations, and he/she spent a lot of time with the article also. I think he/she is an experienced editor. Anyway I would be grateful if you could help with the sources. One problem is that many are gone from the Internet now. For example, she (Heather of the article) was in a C-Span video interview that used to have an article also, but it's gone. From 2002 or so. GrammerFacist mentioned at the article's Talk page that one of the sources (Reference For Business) [3] has a list of 5+ sources at the bottom of the page. Maybe I could add those in the reference list? None are available on the Internet any more.

Review of Vitech Corporation Page

Hello,

You left this comment on our rejected submission:

"Books aside, what's been resubmitted is still promotional in the sense of appearing like an advertised business profile and the current information and sources from that is no different; notability cannot be inherited and there's nothing to suggest this company is showing any signs of significance or the significant coverage."

I just wanted to clarify that to fix these issues I would need to find additional sources solely focused on Vitech, published by a well known source. What else could I do to improve? Also, what exactly do you mean by "notability cannot be inherited"?

Sol Kumin Resubmission

Hi SwisterTwister

Thanks for your guidance on the page originally reviewed around a couple of weeks ago.

Following your suggestions I have made the following changes: - rejigged the page in order that horse racing, which Kumin is particularly notable for, is more prominent on the page. - reworded in a number of areas to ensure that it doesn't come across as a business advert. - removed various bits of text. - add a large number of new sources including NBCSports, ESPN, PaulickReport, RacingUK.com - all of which specifically focus on Kumin rather than associated subjects.

Feedback on sandbox article

Hi, I started to write a sandbox article about a rather small company. I don't intend to make it an ad campaign (although the company itself *is* about advertising, which makes the whole thing kind of confusing), I was just glad that I've stumbled upon something that doesn't have an article yet. Of course as a newbie, I expected such things to happen, hence the sandbox. Can you give me some advice on how to generally avoid sounding like I'm promoting something and/or point out what you found ad-worthy in what I wrote so far? I also want the article to be factual. Anyway, thank you for checking my work.

GAFisher (talk) 16:48, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

  • GAFisher Yes, section #3 was especially why because it's essentially what a company commercial would say, to advertise the services; none of it can be accepted as it wouldn't be suitable and what we actually need is instead emphasis in major independent news that wasn't somehow tied to company announcements and notices either. This is one of the best improvements any page can have, to at least improve the chances. SwisterTwister talk 16:53, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

That's a good idea, I will search for such things, thank you! Is there a time limit for fixing it or as long as it's sandbox, I'm free to tinker with it whenever I've got the time and I won't have to log back in to find the article being deleted? That "speedy deletion" note sounds and looks scary. GAFisher (talk) 17:06, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

GAFisher Based on the current page, it would actually be best to start anew and show how the page could appear differently, especially since there's not enough to suggest currently salvaging. However, in the new version, it's very likely it will not be tagged for deletion. SwisterTwister talk 17:10, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

October 2017 review of submission by TelenorBankHasan

HasanTelenorBank As by our policy WP:What Wikipedia is not, the article was highly promotional and could not be resolved without deleting first but, if you have independent sources (and not announcements and notices), that may be an initial step towards something. SwisterTwister talk 03:32, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
SwisterTwister Hi, absolutely agreed with the policy. Please if you could identify the promotional elements so it can be fixed? Also all the references were independent sources i.e. publications etc and not internal announcements etc. Accordingly, please advise how to restore/improve so we can get this up? The Bank is by numbers and facts the first and largest microfinance bank in the country serving millions every day. HasanTelenorBank (talk) 04:50, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
HasanTelenorBank Unfortunately, in this case it would not be allowed restoration without still being considered unacceptable overall; the best step here is to restart, but only emphasizing major independent news and not anything the company says such as press releases as these will be discounted.

Funding

Hi SwisterTwister, I have been following the AfD for Farmdrop (certainly don't want to reheat the discussion). I am a little on the fence whether or not details of a company's funding history are encyclopaedic or not. I lean towards the view that it's not necessarily something that should be included, but also constitutes a fact of a company, such as an IPO at a later stage. At any rate, I always strive for consistency across articles and was wondering if you have any views on the following articles and their funding sections: Star Citizen, Paytm, Slack Technologies, WeWork, OYO Rooms, ShopClues, Yik Yak, Pebble (watch), Airbnb. Cheers, pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 00:31, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Jake Brockman Yes, and as far as I know, AfD has always considered these sections extremely promotional and apparently only serving to peacock and puff what is instead actually minor accomplishments (any company with under 1million funding is definitely not significant and even above can still be generally minor). I've always used WP:ORGIND and WP:SPIP as support here since they excellently show why. In only rare cases, would funding possibly be significant but this would only be for a company certain to be notable outside the funding alone. Basically, if the best attention a company has likely obtained was for funding and basing it off their press releases about it, it's obviously too soon. Some of the articles you linked showed this well and actually consisted largely of that alone so it's a sign Notability is doubtful there. WP:Not a catalogue also explains this in that any funding would obviously serve only as an investor prospectus, especially if the article goes into specifics. To also mention an example, when an article's funding sections are restored, it must honestly show funding to support them is why they needed the publicity to begin with. I'm going deep into describing this because I know some people think it must be significant based on the publisher's name but this is exactly the world of public relations: Expanding the company's publicity. Churnalism is an existing fact to show how prominent it actually is in the news media. The best accomplishments we can make in at least not allowing this into articles is to at least show and tell the future users that this is in fact not accepted and won't help towards a notable article either. As far as WP is around and with open access paid editing will still exist because of the obvious financial motivation and, it's this in countering the clearest of public relations and promotion, that we can get there and succeed in controlling promotionalism. SwisterTwister talk 01:16, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
As I see it, details about funding are encyclopedic only if the company is famous and the funding truly important. Otherwise, its filler--promotional copy when there is nothing else to say. It's like much else--detials about primary school, relatives, and the like -- the clearest statement of this is WP:EINSTEIN. DGG ( talk ) 00:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

"Speedy keep"

A word to the wise: Any time you say "speedy keep" and there isn't actually anything in a policy or guideline providing for the speedy keeping of that thing (e.g., attempts to delete policies at WP:MFD are subject to speedy keep, per deletion policy), all you do is signal to everyone else that the material at the XfD should almost certainly be deleted, and to ignore your rationale as bogus. Takes a while to learn that, but I would encourage that is be absorbed. Same goes for excessively emotional variations on this like "strongest possible keep". (Please don't perceive this as critical; I did exactly the same thing until a kind soul clued me in, too, back around 2010 or so.)  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  23:26, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

My basis for it was on the sole cause of there being no argument for deletion, and that is, because there's nothing suggesting this redirect is somehow against our principles of that policy. Why I started that redirect is outlined in what every contribution of mine for the last few days: Actual menu items being added and then restored and, not only this, but at least 1/4 of these have actually included "customizable orders for [$$] and with a side of ----". I understand why you may have thought such a redirect may seem unusap but it's clear this would go in line with what WP: Indiscriminate and WP: Not guidebook say. The last thing we as an encyclopedia need, is to defend the operations of promotionalism and where, whatever one's personal opinions are, the WP:NOT policy

takes priority. SwisterTwister talk 23:34, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Except the nominator did provide a deletion rationale; you just didn't agree with it. Never confuse "you made no argument / gave no reason / have no evidence" with "I don't like or accept your argument/reason/evidence". A nomination with no actual rationale reads something like "Delete, because I don't think we need this", or "Delete, since this is silly", or "Delete, because I don't understand what this is for" (these are covered at WP:IDONTLIKEIT and WP:IDONTKNOWIT). Anyway, you can either take my advice or ignore it. I would suggest taking it, because it's based on long experience.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  13:35, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, SwisterTwister, Thank you for viewing my article! Unfortunately, it was rejected because of the lack of visibility on this issue. Please help me to understand why our site hasn't passed the moderation, because we listed reliable sources, such as TechCrunch, Bloomberg, Boston Business Magazine, Forbes and some others.

DanRodgers Although certainly significant publications, the contents themselves are only public relations-esque announcements and notices down cannot accept these for substantiating notability in our criteria. You're welcome to emphasize ones that aren't primarily based in this or with association to the company spokespeople. SwisterTwister talk 17:40, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
SwisterTwister Could you please give us some examples of the significant publications? Also, I attach some links to our publications: americanexpress.com, techcrunch.com, fortune.com, bizjournals.com,

businessnewsdaily.com, americanbanker.com. Please check the following publications and tell us are they relevant and can they be used in the article? DanRodgers (talk) 14:18, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

DanRodgers Unfortunately, these are still only announcements and notices in content weight, and they won't be significant enough in Notability. SwisterTwister talk 18:48, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
SwisterTwister Could you please give us some examples of the significant publications? DanRodgers (talk) 06:47, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
DanRodgers Ah, yes. They would have to be significant independent news without any connections or ties to the company press releases or notices as these cannot he considered. We aren't specifically looking at the publisher name, instead whether the contents are outside of the ordinary public relations realm. SwisterTwister talk 06:53, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

07:04:47, 22 November 2017 - Immervision draft submission

Thanks for the clarification. However might I ask you to printout those sections/paragraphs/passages or even specific word use that gives the impression of it being a sales pitch or not as neutral as it might otherwise be? The issue of tone & style were not at any time brought into question before your comment, so the sudden appearance of this as a comment left me puzzled. I've read the WP:Deletion policy through carefully the Wikipedia Spam[1] page and am not sure which words give it the appearance of being biased. Any insight as to specific content in my article that creates this impression would be greatly appreciated. ADDENDUM: I'd noticed this morning that the draft page had been deleted and this without any discussion and without a reply to my repeated requests for help in pointing out which sections/words were written in an NPOV style. I have written several posts in my talk page concerning this, and they too have gone unanswered. I acknowledge my greenhorn Wikipedia contributor's status, and so perhaps this was not the place to initiate a discussion of this matter. Looking forward to hearing you thoughts. Thanks!

Hi SwisterTwister,

We proceeded with your recommendations to add reliable secondary sources. Before we resubmit the draft though, we want to see if there is now an adequate amount of sources. Would you kindly let us know if coverage of the subject is sufficient?

Sincerely, Hpsharon

  • Yes Hpsharon I'm now looking at it but the sources are simply too thin as based on announcements and notices. We need substantial coverage outside anything influenced by this and Notability cannot be inherited. SwisterTwister talk 04:29, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for all your recent scientist biographies. Just to check–do you have a source specifically saying that this person is an American citizen? His first degree is from a New Zealand university and he seems to have spent at least the majority of his career there, so I think it’s likely that’s where he’s from although I haven’t found a source saying it. Blythwood (talk) 08:07, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Original research

Hello. When you write in the Robin J. Ely article that she is "a highly cited expert in her field" and your cited source is this Google Scholar search, is it not "new analysis or synthesis that reaches or implies a conclusion not clearly stated in the published sources"? Note that I have the same concerns for Andrea Goldsmith, Ju Li and Kenneth Merz. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 08:29, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

WP:PROF explicitly cites any evidence to show expertise in a field and WP:Original research wouldn't be relevant here as those sources are not anything close to original research. GS is certainly not a primary source therefore not original research. SwisterTwister talk 15:41, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello. I don't understand. Where is the "published source" that "clearly states" that Robin J. Ely is a "highly cited expert in her field"? Or more reasonably, where is the "published source" that supports that Robin J. Ely is a "highly cited expert in her field"? Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 16:34, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
It's the citations that show highly cited numbers and this show significance in the field. SwisterTwister talk 18:40, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello. Yes, so to wrap it up, we agree that 1. the citation counts show significance in the field 2. the subject passes WP:NPROF 3. we are not aware of a "published source" that "clearly states" that Robin J. Ely is a "highly cited expert in her field". Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 20:33, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
I had a similar concern on Michael A. Mallin; I don't agree with your edit summary [4] that it's not OR to describe someone as "highly cited" just based on a citation count -- but I don't disagree with your actual edit which simply states the citation count as a fact. So I think we're all on the same page. CapitalSasha ~ talk 10:36, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

academics

A statement that someone has very high citation as shown by Google Scholar, backed up by a reference to that source, is not OR. So far from that, having such citations is the prime practicla consideration in notability under WP:PROF, because it proves their being recognized as an authority. How else would one possibly show it except by showing the count? Anyone whose count is high enough to meet WP:PROF is highly cited, that's more of less whatthe term means. But it is not necessary to actually say it. DGG ( talk ) 21:50, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
