Aaron Chang Draft Update

Hi SwisterTwister! I did as you suggested and kept digging for more notable references for Aaron Chang, and I found out that he is indeed featured in a permanent exhibit in a museum! The bathing suit from his clothing line, Aaron Chang Clothing, that he gave as a gift to Bethany Hamilton, famous surfer and shark attack survivor, is featured in the exhibit titled Courageous Inspiration: Bethany Hamilton at the California Surf Museum. So this totals 3 exhibits, 1 permanent, and 1 art critic review of one of his galleries, along with multiple other references including his entry in the Encyclopedia of Surfing. I also found the article on Forbes about him, but I don't think it has relevant info to add to the Wikipedia page specifically, so I just included it as an addition. Could you take a look at the draft and see if you consider him notable now that I've added the new info?

17:57:20, 7 September 2016 review of submission by Sbjumper21


Hi SwisterTwister,

I understand Wikipedia's notability guidelines but wanted to present the below argument on why our references should be considered significant, given that a competitor of ours, GolfNow, has been granted a Wikipedia page.

Within the golf industry, the biggest golf publication has under one million unique visitors a month. We've been covered and interviewed by major publications such as The Examiner (2.5 million unique visitors a month), USA Today affiliate, Argus Leader (120K+ unique visitors per month), Dujour Magazine (47K+ unique visitors a month), GolfNewsNet (55k+ unique visitors a month), ESPN Radio, CBS Radio, Golf Channel Sirius FM and Golf Channel (video). These are major hits within the golf industry, but they aren't going to be covered by the Huffington Post/Forbes, which I believe what Wikipedia is looking for. The Huffington Post also mostly covers the professional game and lacks golf technology coverage.

Lastly, I wanted to mention that a majority of the coverage that GolfNow received from major publications (Forbes/GolfWeek - no longer active/Business Insider) was about either their competition with a slight mention to GolfNow or acquisition by Comcast. They have no coverage other than that in major publications. Their Forbes piece was focused on EZLinks and had some mentions of GolfNow being a competitor.

Comcast Buying GolfNow.com: http://www.businessinsider.com/2008/3/comcast-buying-golfnow-com Booking Golf Tee Times Gradually Shifting To Online Marketplace (focused on EZLinks): http://www.forbes.com/sites/darrenheitner/2013/06/15/booking-golf-tee-times-gradually-shifting-to-online-marketplace/#cbbf061646e1

I'm hoping to discuss this further, and I would be happy to jump on the phone and explain this further. Let me know if you need any further info.

Thanks Sbjumper21 (talk) 17:57, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

About Victor Anoul

I just edited a draft you accepted on August 30th, Victor Anoul, and I just wanted to give you some unsolicited bits of advice, if you don't mind. I'll try to make this as painless as possible.

  1. Always fill out the living= parameter of {{Wikiproject Biography}}. As a specific example, if the person isn't living, put in living=no. This reduces the workload on people like myself who go through Category:Biography articles without living parameter, and also helps us keep track of how many BLPs we have.
  2. Biographies have to have more information than non-biographical articles to not be considered stubs.
  3. If someone isn't alive, make sure categories like Category:Living people and Category:Date of birth missing (living people) aren't on the article.

Thanks in advance,

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hakka Americans

ST, I'm a bit curious about this. Shouldn't this have been closed as a "no-consensus" rather than a clear keep? --Lemongirl942 (talk) 07:31, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

The basis overall was to keep though, it would have been NC had there been equal amounts of delete. SwisterTwister talk 15:21, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm a bit curious about this ST. I'm not sure about the equal "keep" and "delete" reasoning. A redirection is essentially a kind of deletion - it is proposed more as an alternative to deletion. A similar one Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hokkien and Hoklo Americans was closed as NC. If you don't mind, could you reclose this as NC? --Lemongirl942 (talk) 12:54, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Question about short film drafts

Hey, as you're a draft guru, I wanted to shoot you a query. I have a draft under development at Draft:Cul-de-Sac (2016 film), which concerns a brand new short film by an Oscar-winning film crew and a cast featuring an A-lister. Though I personally don't believe it is suitable for mainspace inclusion yet, I wanted to hear your thoughts for when it would be suitable. I anticipate it will win a vast multitude of awards and may even be an Oscar contender, so please give me input! I hope you're doing well! :) DARTHBOTTO talk•cont 21:57, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi there,

Thank you for reviewing my submission but I do not accept this. Jihan is first and foremost a proven notable artist, and designer. Her balloon designs have sparked many companies all over to copycat her. Her company Geronimo has now become a coined term for her particular balloon design as well. If you google Geronimo Balloons you will not only find her company but also a multitude of online stores selling "Geronimo balloons", not on behalf of Jihan's company but as the style of balloon. I am happy to add more references to support her and her companies notability but if that is not enough would you suggest I develop a page for the company with a section on the creator that is Jihan instead? I do not believe her talent is not acceptable under Wikipedia Standards.

Hello SwisterTwister :) Thanks for reviewing my article. You said that there was nothing to suggest the GB's independent notability - please can I just confirm what you need to resolve this?

Please provide more specificity as to why the article about Theresia Gouw was declined for lack of notability backed up by significant sources. Theresia Gouw is widely considered one of the leading venture capital investors in the technology industry. In an industry with few female investors at all, she is a standout regardless of her gender. The sources used in this article are highly reliable--New York Times, Fortune, Forbes, CNBC, Time, etc. There are other Wikipedia pages about similar people in the tech industry--Aileen Lee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileen_Lee), Diane Greene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Greene). Please provide some insight as to how these profiles meet the notability standard whereas Theresia Gouw's does not. I appreciate any specific guidance you can provide. Thank you!

Hi - I'm struggling to understand what else I need to do in order to have this article approved. You say "For the best enhancements, this would still need all [sic] additional amounts of in-depth third-party news sources overall which also includes reviews; please no press releases, interviews or trivial passing mentions." Yet I have included citations from Time Out, The BBC, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Spectator, and the Evening Standard - are these not "third-party news sources"? As for reviews, the word 'review' appears six times amongst the citations! So please, can you tell me clearly and specifically what more I need to do to get this article published?

Thanks.

Re my Sharon Pincott draft

Hi, I just sent this below to Huon (asking him to forward to you), since I couldn't work out how to get to where I am right now. (Apologies)

Now that I'm (finally) here, I'll copy in my message that I left with him:


Hi Huon, I've been trying to send this update to SwisterTwister/WhirlingStorms, too, but I'm getting all confused. Could you possibly forward to him as well? Thank you.

It's well after midnight where I am, and just wanted to ask if you could look at all those various 'External Links' that I've added, when you have abit of free time, to see if we're more on the right track now in terms of the 'independent reviews' (etc) that you need.

Please note that I HAVEN'T yet edited the references (but I will).

Also, I wanted to let you know that I've found out something that might help you think differently about the documentary (All the President's Elephants) credit to Pincott too (as opposed to just the film crew). The International Film Festival was organised (in conjunction with the UN and CITES as I've already written) "to raise global awareness of the various challenges facing the African and Asia elephants" ... and the judging panel were very high-level conservation people (eg Minister of Environment from South Africa, USA Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment, etc) - and so their focus wasn't 'technical' in terms of the filming. It was very much 'conservation' orientated and which films would best help global awareness. So I plan to expand the documentary paragraph a little bit to reflect this new info, if you agree it would be worthwhile? So that people can better understand why being a finalist reflects so well on Pincott too.

Also, I've had advice from Pincott's publisher now too that they expect a 1,000+ word published article by a journalist to appear before Christmas, on Pincott/Elephant Dawn. So that sounds like what you're after too, so I will include that when they send me the link, which they've said they will do.

Any input to all of this, I'd appreciate again. (Please do forward to SwisterTwister/WhirlingStorms too. Thanks again.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arnie1000 (talk • contribs) 14:42, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Swister Twister,

You recently rejected the page Draft:Davitt_Jones_Bould for lack of notability and I would be interested in any advice you could give me as to how this could be remedied.

Is the issue more the depth of coverage or the sources themselves? The Lawyer and Legal Business, for example, are where you would generally go to read news about the UK legal industry, but would it be necessary to cite a national mainstream newspaper like the Guardian or Telegraph to establish notability?

Do you think that the reported connection with The 2012 Olympics and the Sukuk bond (subjects which are themselves notable) supports the notability of the organisation or would much more be needed?

My aim is not to advertise for Davitt Jones Bould but to create an informative factual article that would be of interest to readers concerned with the UK legal sector. There are a number of other articles about UK law firms and it is my opinion that Davitt Jones Bould is an important enough part of that subject area that readers would benefit from a Wikipedia entry.

I would really appreciate any feedback on how you think the article could be made to conform with Wikipedia's guidelines.

Hi, is there a reason you replaced the speedy deletion nomination on this page with a PROD? Brycehughes (talk) 00:24, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Brycehughes There were claims of significance in the article enough to not quality for WP:A7. Also, because of its size, PROD was fitting to explain the exact concerns. SwisterTwister talk 00:27, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Given that the deletion has already been contested twice, wouldn't it be better to go through WP:AFD instead? Happy to nom there if you agree. Brycehughes (talk) 00:28, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Simply a contesting is still not taking away eligibility if the speedy or PROD still applies; in this case, the speedy was still placed and not removed (until I had) so it was not formally contested by that author. Also, as for the PROD, AfD is the next option if the article is unsuccessfully deleted by PROD.
I think you're missing the spirit of the deletion process (obviously one of them would have deleted the template if I had PROD'd it and they understood that fact), but sure, no rush, I'll wait and see if they remove it. All the best, Brycehughes (talk) 00:42, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Fyi I went ahead and AFD'd this since PROD was removed. Brycehughes (talk) 21:50, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

AfD for WriterDuet

I am inviting you to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WriterDuet. I also used your reason from the PROD you attempted, as it was a perfect explanation.  {MordeKyle}  ☢ 23:51, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Getting closer to finalising Sharon Pincott; for your review again please

Hi again @SwisterTwister and @Huon, turns out we are now very pleased that you rejected the first draft of Sharon Pincott @SwisterTwister! After all of the input from you both and answers to questions, we think the text of the article is much stronger now overall, and certainly now we have more and better references/links too. Thank you both once again for all of the helpful advice and input.

The article is still not 100% complete, but I think it is getting very close now. I am waiting on another one (and maybe two) substantial published reviews of Elephant Dawn, that are still expected out of South Africa and Australia (hopefully before Xmas or soon after). And we are still looking to see if there are any more relevant links that we can find.

Please, could you have a read of the complete article again whenever you’re able (since it is worded quite differently now to the original submission that was declined) – plus with the extra links cleaned up and added (now separated between ‘Book reviews’ and ‘External Links’). And please let me know if you could, if you agree it’s nearing completion from the point of view of your own requirements, and soon ready for resubmission?

Any additional input you have, I’d be very grateful. Arnie1000 (talk) 09:14, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Dear Sister Twister, Thank you for your feedback on the article submission. I have improved it by better explaining the origins and nature of the Harvard Business School case study on Cohen, which I believe in itself establishes her notability and in fact is what caught my eye. It was written independently by Harvard professors, vetted through the Harvard publishing system, and is available for purchase for business schools worldwide who use the material for students who study through the case method.

The article also cites multiple reliable sources independent of the subject, with a reputation for fact checking and approval by editors, including Forbes, CNN, and two segments on the television show The Today Show. It also cites two awards given to Cohen by independent organizations Next Avenue and Forty Over 40.

I hope these clarifications are sufficient. I welcome your help with any other changes you recommend to make the article acceptable.

Second Rejection of Lorna Mary Swain entry

Hello David/SwisterTwister,

I've been attempting to create the Lorna Mary Swain entry for a class assignment. You have hard rejected it twice with little explanation besides a cut and paste of notability guidelines. Needless to say, I'm doing something wrong that isn't working with your view of the guidelines. I'm going to need a bit of help deciphering what exactly is going on to hold up this entry.

The last update included additional sources, all of which are independent of the author who is deceased. It's evident that the woman is a noted scientist and women's education advocate.

Thus, despite what I know is your attempt to help, it remains entirely unclear what is needed in order to make this woman notable. The fact that she was one of the earliest female lecturers at Cambridge isn't enough. Her publication history doesn't fit the notability criteria, and the fact that she's cited in more than one reputable work for her work on fluid dynamics in mathematics and being a woman in the UK who lent her skills to the war effort in World War I studying vibration problems in aircraft propellers (a significant early problem during the first world war; the first in which aircraft were used for terrain mapping/intelligence, scouting, and later fighting and bombing.

Please advise as I am quite frustrated.

Your feedback on the René Colato Laínez article

Hello! You recently proposed that the article René Colato Laínez be deleted, because "the sources are entirely trivial and unconvincing and he's not held in any libraries". I was wondering if you could be more specific about your critiques -- perhaps on the article's Talk page -- because I particularly don't understand the library comment. His books seem to be held in plenty of libraries (several of his books being held in at least 400 different library systems within the U.S. alone), and I didn't see anything in WP:AUTHOR saying that there's a minimum number of library holdings. I also don't see any justification for your assertion that this article expresses a certain POV; it's mostly pretty dry biographical and bibliographic information. Could you please clarify these points when you get a chance? Thanks!

Hi, I added references to outside independent sources (Harvard Business Review) to Behnam Tabrizi's article and hope that suffices? The Harvard Business Review is an important publication, and columnist Tom Peters is a big deal, too. But maybe there is something I'm missing. Applied business books don't get reviewed the same way other books do.

Please let me know, in any case.

AfD List of Surveillance Companies explanation

Hello again, I left a message here before which seems to not be here anymore but I'd like to know why you deleted my list of surveillance companies and called it 'trivial'. These companies create technologies which governments use to spy on people and benefit from not having information about what they do online. To call such a list 'trivial' and have it deleted without proper discussion is something I find hard to understand and it's very offputting when editors do this kind of thing without engaging properly. Please can you engage with me on this discussion and give me some indication as to why you've made this decision. --Jwslubbock (talk) 15:28, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

She has nothing on her notability list; Miss Guatemala 2008 und she went to a University. One reference. Whoopy! I am a little confused, actually. Junk with boobs is more notable? Scratch head.....

Hi SwisterTwister,

I wonder if you have had the chance to look at the changes I have made to my article draft "Helix Dumper"?

I understand that the article was not accepted because the references did not adequately show the subject's notability. I have now inserted the references as footnotes and the references include articles from both newspapers and journals - all of which are independent sources. The Helix Dumper has generated attention worldwide and the references I have included come from independent sources that originate in at least three different countries. I believe that I have now presented sufficient proof of the subject matter's notability.

In my article I mention a comparable invention in the bulk freight industry - the rotary car dumper. I have included a link to an article about this invention on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_car_dumper If you visit the page you'll see that it includes no references and no evidence about its notability. I am therefore confused as to why my article about the Helix Dumper is rejected, while the article about the Rotary car dumper has been approved? The Helix Dumper and the Rotary Turn Dumper are both major inventions that are of similar importance for the bulk freight industry.

I'd appreciate if would have time to look at my draft again and see whether it might perhaps meet the standards for publication?

Best regards, MHKangas

Dear SwisterTwister,

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have made the following improvements to the article to substantiate Cohen's notability:

  • Added a citation to a New York Times article that quotes Cohen and discusses her book and company; this adds to the list of reliable, independent sources including Forbes, CNN and two appearances on The Today Show;
  • Added a citation to a Booklist review of Cohen's book verified on a third party library website;
  • Referred to translations of Cohen's book into Dutch and Korean;
  • Included a new URL to a more easily accessed PDF of Cohen's Harvard Business Review article "The 40-Year-Old Intern."

Cohen's book also received a review from Business Week and a starred review from Library Journal, to name a notable few, but I am unable to find citations on websites other thanAmazon.com, and I did not know if it would be acceptable to link to that site in this case. If it is okay, please advise.

I am hoping that, with these changes, the article can be published. I truly appreciate anything you can do to help. --BritNSmithy (talk) 18:53, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Your reviewing

This edit comment you added at a draft started me worrying about the standards you apply while reviewing. You stated your willingness for accepting with the addition of some additional sources. However, If I look at it, it's nowhere near an encyclopedic article. The "prose" is a barely readably sea of blue lacking any informative story. Moreover, the tables are at odds with Wikipedia not being a directory of TV broadcasts. So, I really struggle to see how you would judge this worthy of being accepted.Tvx1 23:10, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes, but the basis of a television show at least being sourced by hopefully significant news is what would've made it acceptable. SwisterTwister talk 23:12, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your review and feedback. I felt the PCA Predict page was notable as they were the developers of cloud based address verification which is discussed in a long standing address verification article, previously it could only be done by purchasing CD databases from the postal providers. I also thought the notion of turning down $100m for the business was of notable interest.

There are many companies on Wikipedia that have no interest other than presenting their history and products so not sure what is being classed as notable.

Happy to take your advice and if the above is not considered of interest I will delete the article.

Hi, thanks for taking a look, I tried to provide as much reliable information about the body of work this artist produced that is notable for me. The guy is being mixed with homonym techno artists in Spotify, Deezer, AppelMusic et all and obviously he is much more notable than the other Daniel Diaz in terms of quality and amount of work done in the last 25 years. But that's my take.

As for the "Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did " can you please point me to what exactly is promotional so I can delete it? I see biographical info and Discography as comprehensive as I could find putting together several sources. I'll start removing the adjectives I guess.

Finally for he "the links are simply album listings, announcements and trivial mentions" both Ref 7 and Ref 8 are serious reviews (one quite recent the other some months old) that are very good reviews by independent media.

Anyway, thanks for you fast response on this, I didn't expect it. Guess I'll keep learning and try to provide info to other notable artist (most already present in Wikipedia) instead of trying to file an unknown artist I like.

Thanks so much for reviewing the draft page for Antiques Trade Gazette. I really appreciate your time. I understand your concerns on sources. I tried to find sources that show the papers notability as the fact that it has been written about and mentioned as a "Bible" for the antiques industry by other national newspapers I thought demonstrated that it has some notability otherwise other newspapers would not bother writing about it or publishing an obituary of its founder. However I will certainly strive to find further sources in the hope you might be convinced. I have just had a look at the pages of other trade publications to try to compare what others had done. The pages on Wikipedia of publications such as Retail Week, Estates Gazette or Property Week all have far less sources. [1]

I will certainly attempt to find other sources but if you wouldn't mind considering the page in light of these other similar publications I would be most appreciative. Many thanks for your time, Holly Richardson (talk) 15:51, 1 January 2017 (UTC) Sorry to add another part to my response but I also wanted to ask if you thought the following sources would improve the page? These are all from other companies or publications referring to the Antiques Trade Gazette as a 'bible' for the trade. Would these sources help if I included them? If you thought it ok I could add a line to say 'some in the trade describe the newspaper as a 'bible' of the trade.' I could then add the following links to support that Does this help answer the notability question?

For instance one is a reference in The Burlington Magazine which is reliable (and has its own Wikipedia page) [8] and another is in the Telegraph which is a major national newspaper in the U.K.[9] . Both refer to the established and reputable nature of the Gazette. I don't understand why these are trivial? Can you explain why these references are trivial? Thank you so much for your help.

Dear SwisterTwister many thanks for the prompt review. I must admit I am struggling a bit to come to terms with the various protocols required to create an article. Can you just explain a little what you mean by your remarks. Currently not convincing, needs all additional major independent news; no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews or similar. i.e Needs all additional major independent news? Is that external links? i.e links to reviews etc or links to actual music. Are these external links. I thought I had included a lot but maybe not enough. Does the article read like a press release? I have read a considerable number of articles on composers and thought again I had followed a reasonable common temple plate. Yes there are a number of variations but most seem to follow a basic layout. Finally trivial passing mentions, interviews or similar. Can you just clarify this for me. I am very grateful for the prompt review just trying to get my head around the protocols. Does trivial passing mentions refer to the Author section or personal life etc? Do I need to include external links into the author section, i.e. publisher etc? The personal life section was modelled on a different composers page already posted obviously with different content names and places. Thank you so much for the prompt review. Carackus

BLP prods

Hi SwisterTwister. You seem to have replaced a BLP prod template with a generic prod template at Lalit Mohan Nath. I'm not sure why you did this, but in general you're not supposed to remove the former without adding a source, and although you added a different prod template, that is effectively what you did. I've now added a source to the article confirming the subject's death. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:32, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Dear SwisterTwister,

I have added a recent spotlight article on Cohen in Crain's New York Business; two Wall Street Journal articles quoting Cohen; a Washington Post article co-authored by Cohen; and a New York Times article featuring Cohen. We can see that Cohen is a "go-to" choice on the subject of career reentry based on the quality and quantity of journalists who turn to her. A new source cites Cohen's TED talk being translated into 26 languages. In addition the Worldcat.org library database shows Cohen's book, Back on the Career Track, is available in 687 libraries worldwide. I also added two independent library sources that cite numerous reviews of Cohen's book by executives and academics at respected corporations and universities.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in granting permission to take this article live. Thank you very much.

Hi, thank you for your help with the article for Amber Atherton, which I recently edited. Could you clarify what you said for me? "not enough major independent news; focus with actual significant news, and no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews or other similar". I can certainly add more references, including press releases and interviews, I just wasn't sure where to insert them. I also don't understand what you mean by "trivial passing mentions". [edit: I see you mean not press releases etc.] I did look into pages for similar people, for example Kimberley Garner and Ollie Locke, and I'm sure the reference I have provided are at least to the same standard as theirs. Sierpinski6 (talk) 19:56, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

I have added a couple more references and would be grateful if you would take another look. please note references from major publications including Vogue (one of the most prominent fashion publications world-wide. The fashion industry is one of the largest in the world; a previous comment mentioned the Forbes list as being notable whilst ignoring Vogue’s Digital Power list, which is certainly notable itself); Business Insider (listed on TIME magazines Best 25 Financial Blogs article); Evening Standard (main London newspaper); Drapers (prominent fashion-retail magazine); The Telegraph (major UK nation-wide newspaper). I did not include references to the many news articles available online that are not relevant to the wikipedia article or that only mention trivial matters. I have browsed many wiki articles that contain far fewer and far less wide-ranging references and am frustrated as to why this one is being rejected when the notability guidelines are clearly being followed. If this does not qualify then there are many, many pages that should also be deleted. Thank you for you time, I understand that you value the integrity of this site & I hope my frustration here does not come off as aggressive. Sierpinski6 (talk) 17:19, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Two-dimensional conformal field theory

I have sprinkled the draft article with references to a small number of standard sources. The draft article's contents are standard material, and the draft article is not about the history of the subject, so the textbook by Di Francesco et al is an adequate source for most claims.

Hello SwisterTwister, I'd like to ask for clarification on what exactly to do for self-translating a page, as I did with Draft:Transcription of the Japanese language in Esperanto. I've translated the page, but I am unsure how to setup the article. I've added the interlink for the original Esperanto page and I've added sources from two books and a journal written from the University of Virginia. This talk page may be a bit long-winded but I am unsure of what to do.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to review my article. I'm not sure I understand "significant coverage." I've read the help article on it, and looked at some other approved pages but I feel like they also included sources that mention their company one off. How can I further improve the page? Also, what kind of information should I include to make it better? Thanks. Mictan236 (talk) 05:02, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Mictan236 (talk) 05:02, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response. What is your definition of "significant independent major news"? If the Wall Street Journal does a full length feature about the history and products of the company? Any news article that talks about the company exclusively? Would the news in the controversies section qualify as significant coverage? Mictan236 (talk) 05:22, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi! You recently rejected an article I tried to post: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:SponsoredLinX Could you please clarify which bits are too much like advertising? This is my first article so bear with me :) I've tried to include only facts and haven't included any puff pieces as far as I can see...I've also tried basing it on approved articles from our industry. You mentioned that Services and Awards was too much like PR, but 'Google' lists its services and products, and Wikipedia lists its awards. So...I kind of don't see why we can't include ours? I've tried basing our article off this one, that is also a digital company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G/O_Digital I also can't see our 'Clients' section? do you mean just the phrase 'an Australian company that delivers digital marketing solutions to small and medium businesses, as well as businesses in New Zealand.'?

Request on 12:12:39, 3 January 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Mjeltsch


Hi, this concerns the notablity of the Ark Therapeutics article. I started to translate the corresponding entry in the Finnish Wikipedia fi:Ark_Therapeutics. While translating, I realized that many sources (to online publications) have disappeared during the last years. I have access to the print versions of these newspaper articles, but the online archive of the newspaper in question doesn't go back that far in time. How can one make such a source "reliable" (being in Finnish language and only a paper copy, which I cannot simply scan and put online). I will continuing to translate the Finnish version (and update the sources of the original article as much as possible). Ark was on of the first to come up with a biological drug against brain tumors. It is a bummer for those unlucky enough to get such cancers, that due to business decisions and financial trouble the concept was not be developed further. Any ideas how to develop this are appreciated.

13:38:53, 3 January 2017 review of submission by Timbullins


I am requesting a review because I am not sure how my article differs from this one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Trachtenburg and I think the requirements should be equal. I was told I without a mainstream review I wasn't qualified to be considered an author, yet I fail to find any mainstream review for Milton Trachtenburg either. Have the requirements changed? I have a mainstream traditionally published book in Taiwan which is in the references as well as references to editing work I did. I have referenced my blogs and websites (which clearly show the materials I have published) -- as he did. I have referenced my book (albeit the cover is in Chinese, but my name is not) -- he did. So can anyone tell me why -- aside from the fact I am not the father of anyone in a band or grandfather of anyone else -- one is approved for wikipedia and one is not? Thanks! Timbullins

Greetings! Since you implemented my Harry Jackson (artist) article at AfC, I thought I'd see if you were available to review my edit request to implement an expanded and updated Huawei Honor draft.

Honestly, reading through the professor guidelines, I don't see your point. Starting with the first criteria, "The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources," The first citation I offer (We Salute), seems to substantiate his contribution to his field. Also, the sixth criteria, "The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society" seems to be covered through his Presidency at The ASA, an organization that seems broadly equivalent to the IEEE (listed as an an example of a permissable society on that page). I added more citations in an attempt to clarify this for you. Does this satisfy, and, if not, can you provide more detail on what you mean?

What else can be done to get the Col. approved? Many of the sources are independent of each other and have been published. On top of that he has a notable genealogy that should also be considered.

Additionally, the images and references to the band are also currently available with Wikipedia Commons. Can you provide addition guidance on what types of additional coverage would be required to confirm the band's notability? As I have seen other band pages with far less reference information etc., this will help to clarify what more can be added to obtain approval.

Dear SisterTwister,

I'm perfectly willing to accept that my submission might need changes or additional content, but I don't think it would serve the public well by simply inserting the content into the unmanned vehicles page. My connection to the term is because of my involvement in military and civilian tech relating to providing spatial awareness for BVLOS operations. I have expertise in this area, but no experience as a Wiki editor.

I do notice that I can search other acronyms like "LOS". Having an entry for each interpretation of the acronym helps with disambiguation.

BVLOS is an acronym that will be generating a lot of searches over the next few years. It is at the center of a lot of legal and regulatory disputes because it is something that has to be addressed in order for the civilian UAV industry to survive. The first organizations with BVLOS clearance will inevitably end up dominating the industry for decades to come. There are literally billions of dollars at stake, and they can only be realized when regulations governing civilian BVLOS operations are agreed and standardized by organizations like the FAA. We are just starting to see enquiries from the scientific press as to what the "BVLOS" acronym means and why it's important. People will likely also be searching it independently of "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle". Users should be able to determine what the acronym means without having to find it in the context of a longer page.

What can be done to make this entry suitable for publication? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris Ivey (talk • contribs) 20:43, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks so much for the review of my page submission. I am desperate to know how I can correct the submission since I basically aligned with other pages in the same field that have already been published. In fact, although they all follow the same format, all the pages that I referred to contain various comments about them sounding too "promotional", "reads like a press release", and "written like an advertisement". The last link provided below only uses their own website as citations. Which is why I am so confused my submission didn't pass yet, their has. I would be so appreciative if you could help me understand what exactly I need to edit to have it published.

Request on 21:19:32, 5 January 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Ajurisic


Main argument for declination of my Wikipedia article on Jovan Golić: “The submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.”

Questions: Does this mean that the quoted sources are not reliable or that the given reliable sources are not adequately cited? Which given sources are not reliable and why? What is wrong with the rationale given below? What should be improved?

Rationale: In essence, Jovan Golić is being proposed for inclusion in Wikipedia:
(1) for his world-recognized contributions to cryptography, most notably in the area of widely used stream ciphers, which are covered by several articles in Wikipedia and where he is known as a world leading expert, and
(2) for his prominent role as the Action Line Leader for Privacy, Security & Trust in the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), where EIT is already covered by an article in Wikipedia.

Item (1) is formulated by three statements:
“He introduced many cryptanalytic methods for stream ciphers…”,
“He pioneered cryptanalytic attacks on many widely-used stream ciphers…”, and
“He is known for his work on…”.

The statements are supported by:
(i) wikilinks where his work has been referred to (A5/1, RC4, Bluetooth, MUGI, time-memory tradeoff),
(ii) selected publications of Jovan Golić in reputable international peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings,
(iii) two independent peer-reviewed publications referring to his work on RC4,
(iv) citation reports by Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar, and
(v) DBLP publications list.

All these sources appear to be independent, objective, verifiable, and hence reliable. More precisely, the used formulations “many cryptanalytic methods” and “pioneering cryptanalytic attacks” are undoubtedly supported by selected peer-reviewed publications in premium-class journals and conference proceedings and citations of these publications. In particular, please note that his prominent publications on stream ciphers A5/1 and RC4 presented at EUROCRYPT 1997 contain first published cryptanalysis of these widely used stream ciphers.

Item (2) is supported by an announcement on the EIT Digital weblink and one external weblink, which are certainly verifiable and thus reliable.

Please help!

01:08:58, 6 January 2017 review of submission by Jacopobelbo1234


Hello--

Thank you for taking your time for a better entry. I just wanted to follow up on few issues:

- As you may see in my latest updates to the Sar entry, Mr. Sar meets Wikipedia's novelty criteria in many aspects.

  • Academically:

- Sar acted as an international advisor to the American Psychiatric Association's drafting of the fifth version of the most influential psychiatric diagnosis manual, DSM-5, in which he significantly contributed to the introduction and modern definition of dissociative disorders;

- Received more than 4000 citations (see Google scholar),

- Sar is 105th most impactful scientist in Turkey as per 2015

- Acted as editor in peer reviewed American, Turkish, and international psychiatry and trauma studies journals

  • Popular newspapers, magazines: As seen in updated citations, he has been interviewed and quoted in numerous outlets over the last decade(in Turkish, English, Dutch etc)
  • On wikipedia: When writing the very important Wiki entry regarding Dissociative Identity Disorders, third party editors have cited Professor Sar's articles 6 times in the relevant Wiki page.
  • Comparing with Ooher similar entries:

In comparison to other entries, it is clear that Professor Sar should meet the notability standards. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Somer , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9rard_Lopez_(psychiatrist). Especially the second entry is remarkable, as the entry regarding the relevant psychiatrist basically uses as the only outside source an article co-authored by Professor Sar to demonstrate the relevant psychiatrist's notability in the relevant field.

I believe these matters, when taken in consideration, should establish Professor Sar's notability without any doubt. I am otherwise happy to assist you in updating the article in other ways that you may deem appropriate.

Hi SwisterTwister, I appreciate you taking the time to review and comment on my submission. However, I was referencing the wikipedia page for Dandenong Market when putting together my page and thought that they ran along a similar line. Are you looking for specific references (should I remove the links from the text and add them under references?)?

Much appreciated, kathy

Understood :) thanks SwisterTwister! i'll get busy!

Paul Godfey DJ/Producer Draft Rejected

Hi SwisterTwister, you recently rejected my draft page due to referencing issues. I'm not sure why these references aren't adequate and it would be really helpful if you could explain why they don't show notability and perhaps suggest an alternative? You also say everything else is not satisfying the applicable standards. This is really vague and doesn't help me improve my article. Any feedback you can give would be very much appreciated.

Jmor54 (talk) 21:12, 7 January 2017 (UTC) Hi SwisterTwister,

I have added more to the article since last visit. I have also reviewed Wikipedia's "guidelines on the notability of music-related topics" in regards to the band I submitted a page for Mile (band). In Wikipedia's own guidelines it states: "may be notable if they meet at least ONE of the following criteria:"


Here are the criteria I am submitting under:

"1.Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself" 

   I believe I have provided MULTIPLE, as stated, non trivial published works that are reliable, not self published and independent of the musician.



"5. Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). 

   Noel Hartough released music on Aware Records (as well as Deep South Records). Aware is on Wikipedia as a very notable indie with a roster of performers who are independently notable (including John Mayer, Train, Five For Fighting, Mat Kearney and Guster), and then his band Mile was signed to the major label "Columbia Records" and released music there, which went to Modern rock radio nationally in the USA and Canada. Also, the guitarist and bassist of Mile had a top 10 hit on Atlantic Records (major label), and released music there, prior to joining.


"6.Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians". 

   As stated, Noel Hartough himself was notable for his work on Aware and Columbia, as were the guitarist and bassist of the band, as they had come from another big major label band (Atlantic Records) and had scored a top ten hit just months prior to joining Hartough and signing with Columbia.


"10.Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc."

The band Mile had the song "Perfect Ending" featured in the notable film Saving Silverman, which was a Hollywood film released nationally starring Jack Black and Jason Biggs, and were ALSO included on that films official soundtrack (compilation album).

"11.Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network."

Mile was in rotation nationally AND internationally, both the USA and Canada, on rock radio. AS WELL AS having their music video in rotation on BOTH the MTV networks AND Much Music Canada


"Resources": The music the band created is also found on both the Freedb and Allmusic search engines which Wikipedia has listed under "Resources".

I believe that I meet MORE than ONE (which is what is required per Wikipedia's own rules that I have seen) of the required criteria as listed in Wikipedia's "Notability of music related topics."


I understand that you don't want people coming on here posting their buddies back yard band, or spamming up the place, 100%. I've looked through and seen some of the things that people have submitted which have not been approved which CLEARLY are not noteworthy.


But I submit that a band that is comprised of members with previous history on notable indie labels and other major labels, that has signed to a major label, been placed on mainstream rock radio in both the USA and Canada, received national press coverage, has a music video on both MTV and Much Music Canada, is featured in a major film release with big name actors (a hit film), as well as the the corresponding film's soundtrack, and is out on tour with other very notable signed rock bands (Creed, Nickelback, 3 Doors down) is NOT a backyard band, or someone trying to spam Wikipedia, but is indeed notable.

I GREATLY appreciate your time on all of this. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

I just wanted to know what more i need to do for this page to be accepted. I made the changes that were requested in the last draft. Should I reference more links or expand the content?I am sorry for these questions as this is my first time submitting a page on Wikipedia and am not sure of the process.

22:52:27, 7 January 2017 review of submission by Loopsditto


Hey! Thanks for taking the time to review the page.

I am hoping to get this page up and running- the record label has been in existence for 5 years, and has garnered tons of reviews for the music, specifically including many 'best of' year-end nominations for its records in significant places like Downbeat Magazine, etc.

It seems notable that the label exists and grows considering the changing landscape of music consumption. New Atlantis is at least as significant as any of the other smaller independent record labels featured on the site- pages for Northern Spy Records, Eremite Records, etc, come to mind.

While I understand there may not be inherited notability simply by associating with existing artists- in the case of a record label, I'd have to disagree- the whole nature and reputation of a label is determined by the notability of its roster. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loopsditto (talk • contribs) 22:52, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

23:52:19, 7 January 2017 review of submission by Bigbenwalrus


Bernstein is not an author. How can I show his notability other than show how he is mentioned in books about the fields and topics he commentates on and how his ideas have influenced others? (Thanks for reviewing so quickly) Edit: He is also notable for the strange 'Cult of Bernstein' as it mentions in the introduction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigbenwalrus (talk • contribs) 23:52, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I copied the MSU reference that showsthat Dr. Edwards is a Distinguished Professor from the end of the first sentence to right after the words "Distinguished Professor." It is on the MSU "University-Community Senior Fellows" website. I also found another MSU article that lists her as a distinguished professor and included that after the title of "distinguished professor." Finally, I included the citations (that I also had later in the article) to support her national and international recognition for her family literacy programs in the 2nd paragraph to further establish her notability more clearly.

I removed Facebook and fan pages from the references. I believe it is overzealous to overlook the other 16 references here.

Hello. First of all, thank you for taking the time to review the article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Amsterdam_Metalfest). It has been declined due to "lack of notable sources" - I wonder, however, in how far a non-scientific subject like music/bands/events can ever have sources which are notable enough to match your criteria. In the industry this is an up and coming event, I have done research and have copied/been inspired by other festival pages which have less (notable) references than this one. Now you have suggested the page as 'miscellaneous' and it's considered for deletion. I humbly object! References are a thesis, interviews, third-party informative websites. As a writer/journalist I am aware of the necessity of reliable sources, and I second that emotion. I do think, however, your critique in this case is a bit harsh. I am wondering what needs to be done the article to be accepted. Cheers.85.144.161.238 (talk) 10:48, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks so much for the speedy review. I am uncertain how many sources are required for notability here, as book reviews for Rosenbaum's are not as notable as the news articles and primary materials related to his community organizing work, which are in fact much more substantive (and, since his book has not yet made it to press, are actually around, although they will be shortly). Any suggestions on how notability might be documented in a better way here?

Draft Ivan Polyakov

Hi, SwisterTwister! Thank you for watching my draft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ivan_Polyakov You mentioned that it's simply a business PR listing. I obviously can't understand why it is so. This article is a translation of the article in Russian segment - https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2,_%D0%98%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 I will highly appreciate your advise on how it can be improved as from my point of view the sources are reliable (as they are considered so in russian version) and "find sources" also gives enough links, and amount of public (non-commercial) activity and awards (gratitudes) from high ranked persons also shows the fact that ther person is recognized by other people. References are also done to the correct and reliable sources, e.g. official websites of The government of the Russian Federation, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, the Russian Orthodox Church, etc. I understand that references are in Russian, but it is mentioned in each reference. Or it should be done in other manner?

Hi and thank you for reviewing my article.

I would like to know more about what you meant by "no automatic inherited notability". Chong Ket Pen in my country is a really notable person. His company does the pretty much all the roadworks and maintenance. Furthermore, he has does A LOT of philanthropic contributions (not listed on wikipedia yet) and one of it is that he is working on building affordable homes for the people in my country. He has been bestowed the title of "Dato Sri" which is the highest title conferred by our Malaysian ruler on the most deserving recipients who have contributed greatly to the nation or state, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_styles_and_titles#Dato.27_Sri

I've read through wikipedia's guidelines on the notability of people and I honestly think Chong Ket Pen meets the requirement unlike this guy Tey Por Yee who is just a regular Malaysian businessmen or this guy Mohd Nazifuddin Najib who is nothing but our Prime Minister's son. I don't know how their wikipedia article is published but not mine on Chong Ket Pen.

As for my sources, a lot of it is linked back to Protasco Berhad, doesn't that count as a reliable source? It's a public listed company and they are indeed required by law to declare and announce everything they do and have done for public knowledge.

I'd really love to know how I can improve this article to ensure it gets approved. Appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Draft of Scott Neeson page

Thanks for assisting with getting this right. The previous Scott Neeson page was deleted for self-promotion, so I have attempted to strip this back and make it objective - I've possibly stripped out too much.

Re. notability - rather than solely Scott Neeson's position in 20th Century Fox, I believe that it is his transition from top Hollywood executive responsible for some of the largest films in history, to NGO founder working in a Cambodian slum that makes him notable, as per Wikipedia's notability guideline that a person "should be "worthy of notice"[1] or "note"[2] – that is, "remarkable"[2] or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded"[1] within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life". This transition has been covered extensively by reputable independent secondary sources including the Wall Street Journal, Variety, and People Magazine, all of whom have focused on his unique circumstances.

I believe Scott Neeson also qualifies under the Additional Criteria - "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times."

I welcome some guidance on further information that should be added - the majority available focuses on Scott Neeson's transition rather than successful prior career.

Thanks again for your help :)

Hi - I agree that I didn't include verifiable data. However I have many patents I can reference. I didn't find a template for those. I also had trouble editing one after insertion. I don't agree that this company could have this on its website. It ceased to exist in the 80s. This is history rather than a plug. I suppose the main thing is that the soldering iron became ubiquitous and 50 years after the company disappeared the iron is still in use everywhere. Should the entry be titled "Scope Soldering Iron"? Peter Seligman (talk) 11:19, 9 January 2017 (UTC) Peter

Westmount Charter School AfD close

Hi. I note that you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Westmount Charter School with a comment about "the clear consensus we keep any K-12 school regardless of the sourcing concerns". Can I ask where you got the idea that there is consensus to keep secondary schools even if there are concerns about sourcing?

Draft:Paul Bright, children's author

Comments to latest edits to Paul Bright page: You have requested major book reviews for works by Paul Bright. While few picture books get reviews in the national press, Paul’s latest publication ‘The Best Bear in All the World’ (he was one of four authors) received coverage in The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, The New York Times, Prospect Magazine, The Bookseller and many other national and international publications. I have added some of these as references, but obviously not all. One reason for wanting to create a Wikipedia page for Paul Bright is to remove ambiguity following the publicity around ‘The Best Bear …’. Many articles and web searches erroneously link to the Wikipedia page of another Paul Bright, an American producer of films, mainly of a homosexual nature. It is much easier to correct these erroneous links if there is a correct Wikipedia article to link to. I hope you can now give your approval to this article. Thank you.

Archiving closed ANI threads

Hi ST, this is a reminder that when archiving closed ANI threads, it is important to wait till at least 24 hours have passed after the close, before archiving. This gives all participants and observers a chance to see the results of the thread. Because Wikipedia editors live all around the world, in various timezones, and with various sleep, work, and log-in schedules, 24 hours is necessary to give everyone a chance to log on and view the close. The best way to avoid archiving threads too quickly is to Google utc time, subtract one day from that, and then don't archive any thread that was closed any later than that. Thanks.
