June 9[edit]

Request on 05:09:23, 9 June 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Erocakaericg[edit]


Hello, I was declined to on write a brief summary on Eric Guadiana. Everything is factual. Please advise to why it is not accepted Thank you kindly Erocakaericg (talk) 05:09, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Erocakaericg. Factual is good, but submissions are required to be verifiable. Anything added to Wikipedia must be based on information published in reliable sources. The usual way to allow readers to check information is to cite your sources using inline citations. See Referencing for beginners for more information. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:56, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

07:58:36, 9 June 2018 review of submission by Visualstudies[edit]


I need some information if I have a chance for Heinz Nigg to appear in Wikipedia or not. Since the last decline I have made substantial changes. What more can I do do? The sources quoted do–in my opinion–adequately show Heinz Nigg's notability with significant coverage (also citations, which a helper from Teahouse advised me to add. And the sources are reliable secondary sources independent of Heinz Nigg. What more can I do?--Visualstudies (talk) 07:58, 9 June 2018 (UTC) Visualstudies (talk) 07:58, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Visualstudies. Nigg has authored a number of works and achieved some success as an academic, as indicated by the reviews you referenced. Although his work has been cited a modest number of times, I'm not persuaded that it has had sufficient impact to justify a biography on the English-language Wikipedia under the guidelines WP:PROF or WP:CREATIVE. I think you should be satisfied with having the article on the German-language Wikipedia, which may have looser inclusion criteria intended to encourage coverage of people in German-speaking lands.
Articles for creation is, however, an optional process. If you disagree with the advice you've received, you may move the page from draft space to (article) space yourself. The worst that can happen is that it may be deleted. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:23, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
