Your submission at Articles for creation: Dean Odle (June 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Jlwoodwa was:

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way to do it is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

I think I got it looking better. Relook at it for me? I'd appreciate any feedback that helps. This page has been denied so many times I've made it a mission to get it published like trying to beat a video game. lol I would love help.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

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.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Anerdw 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 does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Some claims are unsupported by their sources. Eg: Zeigler doesn't mention Nephilim or fallen angels. Some of the sources are really bad; DAILYSABAH is known to published Westernophobic propaganda; MEDIUM should be avoided except in very specific circumstances. Relatedly, be very careful of WP:FRINGE and NPOV; notable examples include "fight for Alabama", "belief in a flat earth, which he supports by his interpretations of scripture along with various sources of science", and "Odle advocating for a flat earth based on his interpretation of biblical texts. Locke on the other hand, supported a spherical earth model".

First and foremost, I want to thank you. Every time I do something and it gets rejected, there is never really a personal message attached to explain and help me learn. Your critique was very helpful to me. Honestly, I want to express my gratitude.

I've made changes, hoping you wouldn't mind looking it over?

This article has got me feeling like I've been playing a video game and I am at the final boss. I just want to beat the game now. Weird way to look at it possibly, but I think it's a good analogy of how stubborn or fixated I can get with things.

Once again, thank you for the feedback you did give. Gods Usher (talk) 13:54, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Gods Usher. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 23:07, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

You cannot remove prior declines. He doesn't seem to meet WP:NPOLITICIAN as he has not won election to, or hold, public office. He doesn't seem to meet WP:NWRITER either.

Photo

How did you obtain the photo of Pastor Odle? 331dot (talk) 23:17, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're talking about the not copyrighted photo found on his campaign website? Found on ballotpedia? used by 1819 news? used by AL reporter? used by wvtm 13 news? Im confused with your question Gods Usher (talk) 02:06, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You need to show that the photo was explicitly released with a copyright compatible with Wikipedia. His website has no such notice of copyright. You cannot assume that an image is available for use on Wikipedia; if you cannot show that the copyright was explicity released, you must immediately without delay request deletion of the image from Commons.

Images are not relevant to the draft process, which only considers the text and sources. Images can wait until the draft is accepted. 331dot (talk) 07:15, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NPOLITICIAN probably best to wait and see if they are elected governor before re-submitting. Being a "a known religious leader" is not inherently [[WP{:GNG|notable]].

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Ca was:

In order to have a negative biography about a living person (WP:BLP), a very strong sourcing is needed. I am not seeing that here. The sources consists of local outlets and Mr. Odle's own books.
