Question from Thomas Jeunet (21:18, 10 February 2024)

Hello, I am an artist, with paintings, I would like to create my biography. I know what to say but I just started selling my art and I still have no article on any press, magazine etc. Should I wait to have more articles about me ? thank you best --Thomas Jeunet (talk) 21:18, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

@Thomas Jeunet: I would strongly recommend both waiting for significant press in reliable, independent sources and waiting for the community to write it. In the meantime, please read this blurb and Wikipedia:Autobiography. TheSandDoctor Talk 18:58, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from Padeye242 (11:42, 17 February 2024)

Hello, my name is Sean Walker. I primarily joined Wiki to make a submission for a mixed drink that I may have created. A friend of mine suggested that I upload it to wiki. Is this something that I could really do? Thanks for you help. --Padeye242 (talk) 11:42, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

@Padeye242: Hi there Sean! Could you please elaborate a bit on what you mean by "upload" in this context? Do you mean create an article for it? Something else? If an article, it would have to pass the general notability guidelines by having significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. A good rule of thumb is that there probably needs to be non-trivial coverage in publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, staff-written Forbes articles, other big industry relevant/specific publications etc. and there would have to be multiple across different publications. It is not a trivial or easy bar to meet.
If you are not referring to an article, then Wikipedia really isn't the right project for this as Wikipedia really just does encyclopaedic articles. TheSandDoctor Talk 19:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
