Renee Brna un-accepted

An article you recently created, Renee Brna, had an improper review and is not ready to remain published. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of Draft: before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:56, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The "Renee Brna" article does meet notability guidelines and the news citations provided can affirm this. I'm still unsure why the articles on an American Broadway and TV actress were taken down due to problems with notability. Theaterbuff123 (talk) 15:14, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If all of the citations are from non-personal or private business and well-established websites...aka Playbill.com, broadwayworld.com, newspaper website sources about an actress who the theatre community regards as influential in its newspaper sources, then why is this accurate and proficiently cited article not being published? Can you please illustrate examples of what I am doing wrong here? Theaterbuff123 (talk) 02:59, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Renee Brna

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

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

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

Concern regarding Draft:Renee Brna

Hello, Theaterbuff123. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Renee Brna, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Renee Brna (July 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Missvain were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Hi.

I'm sorry, but none of the sourcing here helps the subject meet our general notability guidelines. The sources presented only feature Renee Brna in passing.

We need *significant* coverage in notable media outlets or by notable publishers. Examples: magazine and newspaper reviews and features about Renee Brna specifically; books or white papers written ABOUT Renee Brna; television and radio features ABOUT Renee Brna. I suggest avoiding Broadway World, as it’s notoriously promotional of all things Broadway.

If those are available, please improve this submission. If not, then it appears to be WP:TOOSOON for Renee Brna to have a Wikipedia article.

I hope you will consider improving existing Wikipedia content about other subjects of interest!

If you have any questions please ask them at WP:TEAHOUSE.

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Hello, Theaterbuff123! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Missvain (talk) 23:13, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for your comments. I have added extra newspaper sources with "Renee Brna" in the title to show that she is notable and featured both in reviews and interviews. Broadway World is scarcely used and only in cases where it shows cast lists to note additional cast members of shows mentioned. I can remove these citations if needed as it wouldn't change the source content. I have resubmitted, hopefully this will help. I know not everyone is familiar with American musical theatre actors and actresses, but I hope my contribution adds to the richness of this field.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rick Hanson

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Rick Hanson, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.spiritrock.org/rick-hanson. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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

July 2022

Hello Theaterbuff123. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Theaterbuff123. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Theaterbuff123|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. PRAXIDICAE🌈 12:24, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Praxidicae,

I understand that some of my sentence structure was too closely related to that of what was on spiritrock.com and I am happy to rewrite using my own wording. However, I am not a paid writer for Rick Hanson--he is a Buddhist teacher, expert on neuroplasticity, and should be recognized on wikipedia as a NY Times best selling author of over 7 books. I am a fan of his and I don't think this should inhibit me from creating an article about him. Is it possible to move my article into draft space so I can see what I have already created and rewrite it? I have already spent over 5 hours on this piece and it seems unfair to have all my work wiped out without even a conversation beforehand. Just because you "think" I paid to contribute, it does not mean I AM paid to contribute. I am just a novice at writing for Wikipedia and needed a little guidance. I wasn't even given ample opportunity to contest the speedy deletion. This really discourages people from contributing to Wikipedia; I'm not sure if that is the goal here.
