05:44, 11 March 2025 review of submission by Gladiator1990

[edit]

This is my first article adding to Wikipedia, I live in this mentioned area which I was trying to add a page to this area however reliable sources are added but still rejected Gladiator1990 (talk) 05:44, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gladiator1990: Google search is not a source, and you cannot cite Wikipedia as a source on Wikipedia. This leaves you with only two sources, and consequently quite a lot of unsupported content. There is also no evidence that the subject is notable per WP:NPLACE. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:13, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

08:31, 11 March 2025 review of submission by Arnaubataller

[edit]

Hola! Buenos días! Mi artículo ha sido rechazado por no estar en Inglés, pero he hecho el articulo en la página en español. Hay algún comando adicional que debo hacer? Además, informaron que ha sido rechazado "porque la página parece ser publicidad inequívoca que solo promueve una empresa, un grupo, un producto, un servicio, una persona o un punto de vista y necesitaría ser reescrita fundamentalmente para volverse enciclopédica" y la verdad es que no lo és, pues hay fuentes y enlaces (referencias) que comproban todo lo escrito en el articulo. Me gustaría saber cuáles cambios poderia hacer antes de intentar enviarlo otra vez. Gracias de antemando. Ana. Arnaubataller (talk) 08:31, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Can you suggest me more precisely, I have added the information from best institute in the world, and Wikipedia itself, apart from that i have added from the newspaper article which is Times of India again trustworthy newspaper in India. Sakhamuri hhv (talk) 09:03, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sakhamuri hhv: your draft cites three sources. The first is a press release. The second simply points to (an archived copy of) the Thin Film Laboratory's website. The third is alone not enough to establish notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:09, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Times of India is questionable as a source, see WP:TIMESOFINDIA. It is sometimes useful, but care must be taken. 331dot (talk) 09:42, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I made modifications to the articles and added more sources , please what is the problem with this article now . Mohamed Ouda (talk) 09:28, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mohamed Ouda: routine business reporting based on press releases does not establish notability per WP:NCORP. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:38, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @DoubleGrazing I added more reliable references now , I hope it is fine now Mohamed Ouda (talk) 10:08, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @Mohamed Ouda. You haven't resubmitted the draft for review: that is the way to get it looked at again. ColinFine (talk) 13:31, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

09:42, 11 March 2025 review of submission by EditorialHelper

[edit]

Conflict of Interest Disclosure Hello, I am writing to disclose a conflict of interest regarding a draft I submitted for review. The draft is Draft:Appukuttannair_Biju_Kumar, and it was created using an account registered in the subject's name ([insert username of the problematic account]). I acknowledge that this was a mistake and represents a clear conflict of interest.

I am now using this neutral account (User:EditorialHelper) to disclose this issue and request guidance on how to proceed. My intention is to ensure that the draft complies with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, including neutrality and verifiability. I will not make further edits to the draft directly but am happy to provide additional information or sources if needed.

Thank you for your understanding, and I appreciate any advice or assistance from the community. EditorialHelper (talk) 09:42, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

EditorialHelper I fixed your post, using the whole url breaks the header template. In most cases generally the whole url is not needed.
Please disclose your COI on your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 09:45, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you are employed by him or his employer, you would need to make the paid editing disclosure. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
thank you EditorialHelper (talk) 09:51, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify the situation: using the wrong name on the account isn't itself a conflict of interest, just a beginner mistake that you fixed (so no big deal!) However, if you do have a connection to Biju Kumar, you should declare it, as that might be a conflict of interest. In addition to what 331dot linked you, I suggest you to read Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:44, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

10:27, 11 March 2025 review of submission by Ashwinshadow

[edit]

Dear Wikipedia Editors,

I recently submitted a draft article with multiple references, including news articles and third-party sources. However, the draft was declined with the following feedback:

"The draft’s references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article..."

I have carefully selected sources that I believe meet Wikipedia's reliability and independence criteria. However, I am unsure why my draft does not qualify when similar articles exist with seemingly fewer or comparable sources.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to improve my references or structure the article to meet Wikipedia’s standards. If anyone with experience in Wikipedia editing can review my draft and provide insights, it would be immensely helpful.

Thank you for your time and assistance. Ashwinshadow (talk) 10:27, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Ashwinshadow. To mirror what @DoubleGrazing commented on the draft: you have written a brochure for the institution, not a Wikipedia article. Your sources are mostly college rankings or database entries which are irrelevant to establishing if this organisation meets our criteria for inclusion.
We require secondary sources like newspapers, magazines, journals, books that give significant in-depth critical coverage / discussion / commentary about the institution directly. Almost none of your sources do that.
Wikipedia has many millions of articles, tens of thousands of which are poor quality and should be improved or deleted. As we're a volunteer project no one has gotten around to doing that yet. If you have found articles that are of poor quality, please do feel free to improve them or nominate them for deletion. We don't want to add more poor quality articles to the project. qcne (talk) 11:21, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @Ashwinshadow. Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost exclusively interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

11:25, 11 March 2025 review of submission by Wrasslethis

[edit]

hi, i do not understand how is this article written entirely inappropriately when i've tried to write it as neutral as i can. neither was there peacock terms because the work is factual and there are tons of statistics from other parties and wikipedia mentioning the wins. so how am i supposed to change the tone? i have other articles of other wrestlers i want to submit yet i can't do it if i don't even know what's the issue with the first one. Wrasslethis (talk) 11:25, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Wrasslethis: seriously? You consider the likes of "known for his high-energy, hard-hitting in-ring style and larger-than-life persona" and "powerful strikes, acrobatic maneuvers, and a charisma that resonated with fans, Buffa became one of the most notable independent wrestlers of his time" to be neutral and factual, and not at all peacocky? (Those are just in the 1st paragraph.) And don't even get me started on the photos. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and this sort of content is totally inappropriate here. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:33, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
he's a wrestler and that's basically some of the best photos i can find. how is that inappropriate? he's not one of the wrestlers who is fully clothed. so am i supposed to use only photos of his face and not shots of his match if i need to introduce his ring style? please advise what works and doesn't because im also comparing and looking at his peers' wiki for comparison Wrasslethis (talk) 11:51, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Did you look at the section of the guidelines to do with peacock words? Your draft is currently full of embellishing words and language that sounds more appropriate for an advertisement, not a neutral article. cyberdog958Talk 11:37, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Wrasslethis Genuinely the entire draft is unsalvageable in it's current state. You need to start from scratch. Very carefully read our guidelines at WP:NPOV. qcne (talk) 11:46, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
i looked up on the issue again after replying and i think i know what's the problem now. so i'll try to edit again. Wrasslethis (talk) 11:53, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello please what do you need me to do or deleate 

Abdool AK (talk) 14:01, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]


Hello please i have deleated some part to adhere to the guidelines can you please advice me further on what to do thank you Abdool AK (talk) 14:14, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to do, it was wholly promotional and has been deleted. 331dot (talk) 15:32, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

15:59, 11 March 2025 review of submission by Nigelgomm

[edit]

i have a new found appreciation of the rigour required for publishing articles in wikipedia! I feel that the subject is of moderate interest to the UK & Eire lettings industries but by its nature i'm struggling with secondary, independent sources. i'd be grateful for any specific advice and suggestions. Nigelgomm (talk) 15:59, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:ORGDEPTH. You have just summarized the routine business activities of the company, which does not demonstrate that the company is notable. If sources with appropriate coverage do not exist, this topic woukd not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. 331dot (talk) 17:05, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

23:39, 11 March 2025 review of submission by LJA123

[edit]

After being declined, this article was expanded and thoroughly referenced. That was some time ago; I'm wondering what's taking so long for it to be published.23:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

LJA123 As noted on your draft, "This may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,539 pending submissions waiting for review." Reviews are conducted by volunteers, doing what they can, when they can, in no particular order. Please be patient. 331dot (talk) 23:56, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
