00:38, 2 May 2024 review of submission by 2409:40F3:1019:8863:8000:0:0:0[edit]

Can you give reason by explaining it. It also contain much references. Sun Neo is a new channel launched, you can get information on search engines. 2409:40F3:1019:8863:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 00:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but this draft has been rejected and will not therefore be considered further. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

00:56, 2 May 2024 review of submission by Edcous[edit]

Per User talk:Clearfrienda, suggested that if I wanted a second opinion on the article, I should request it here.

The question is if there are enough in-depth references for the term God Committee to prove notability. There are 4 major ones included: John Hopkins University, the Baylor College of Medicine, the American Enterprise Institute, and the American Medical Association Journal of Ethics.

Please let me know what you think. Edcous (talk) 00:56, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Edcous: I don't want to 'overrule' another reviewer's assessment, but I can tell you that if this came up before me I would probably accept it. The sources do seem pretty extensive, and some of them cite further sources discussing the same concept. That said, the concept does appear to go by different names – 'god committee', 'god squad', 'god panel', possibly others – so whether 'god committee' is the best one to use, I don't know (although now that the film The God Committee is out, it might become the one). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:45, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi DoubleGrazing. The other reviewer explicitly told me I could ask here for an additional opinion (if you look at the talk page) “You could also ask at the AfC help desk to get another reviewer's assesment sooner”. Should I resubmit it for another review then, or can you just approve it? Edcous (talk) 11:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Following up on this. Edcous (talk) 11:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

01:35, 2 May 2024 review of submission by Diatom.phage[edit]

The Article subject in draft prefers a shorter version of name lately. I used published information on artist which supported Elizabeth, and I so Iisted Beth as and alternate in introduction. I come to find out in my research that Beth is her current preferred name. There IS a name space conflict with Elizabeth Goodfellow, but not with Beth Goodfellow. 

Diatom.phage (talk) 01:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
uh...what should I/we/us do? Diatom.phage (talk) 01:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Diatom.phage: I can't comment on what this person's 'correct' name is, nor can I speak for other reviewers, but when I accept an article like this I would publish it on a title that corresponds to the way the name is written at the start of the lead. So if you write Elizabeth ('Beth') Goodfellow, I'd place it at Elizabeth Goodfellow (musician), whereas if you show her name as Beth (Elizabeth) Goodfellow, I'd go for Beth Goodfellow. Does that help at all? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:30, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. This helps. I started it as Elizabeth Goodfellow, so I have to navigate the unknown to me space of changing it to Beth (Elizabeth) Goodfellow. Your perspective gets me part of the way down the road. Very kind. Diatom.phage (talk) 23:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

01:54, 2 May 2024 review of submission by Antwan123123[edit]

finished edit Antwan123123 (talk) 01:54, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Antwan123123: okay. Did you have a question you wanted to ask? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:23, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yea, i updated the references, was wondering if they are good enough or should i add more Antwan123123 (talk) 06:05, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Antwan123123: I'm not going to do a full source analysis here, as that would pretty much amount to a review, and the draft has already been resubmitted so it will get a review sooner or later anyway. However, I can tell you a couple of things. There is too much unreferenced content, given that this is an article on a living person (WP:BLP). For example, where does all the info in the first paragraph of the 'Biography' section come from? And what source gives this person's DOB? Also, you cannot cite (ref #3) Wikipedia as a source on Wikipedia. And YouTube is user-generated, and therefore not considered reliable (it could be, if the clip is from a reputable publisher and included in their own channel, but I don't think someone named 'HistoryLover12345678' quite cuts it!). China Daily also doesn't have the greatest reputation as a source, being basically a mouthpiece of the CCP. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:15, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Actually, now that I've done all that, I might as well decline the draft, to save another reviewer having to repeat what I've done. No comment on notability, declined purely for the quality of some of the sources, and the insufficient citations throughout. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ok thank you! how many more references do you recommend? Antwan123123 (talk) 07:51, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Antwan123123: as many as are required to appropriately support the information. In a BLP, every material statement, anything potentially contentious, and all private personal details must be clearly supported by inline citations (immediately following the statement, not way down at the bottom of a long paragraph) to reliable published sources, or else removed. This means in practice that just about every sentence you write must be backed up by such a source, because if it's not a material statement, it's just filler and waffle, and should be cut out anyway. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:01, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

04:24, 2 May 2024 review of submission by AC1are[edit]

Just wondering what the hold up is on publishing this article? AC1are (talk) 04:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AC1are: I don't know that there's a hold-up as such, just a backlog of drafts. As it says on top of the draft, reviews "may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,477 pending submissions waiting for review." Please be patient, thanks. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:22, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks! AC1are (talk) 05:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:36, 2 May 2024 review of submission by A.Atig[edit]

Hello, I would like to know where I could get help on getting this draft reviewed so that I can enhance it and make sure it gets published. Thank you A.Atig (talk) 08:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@A.Atig: it will be reviewed (again), once a reviewer gets around to it. You only resubmitted it a moment ago. Please be patient, we have 2.5k drafts just like yours awaiting review also. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:40, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your answer.
I am conscious of the fact that there are many articles pending review. What I meant was where can I get help to improve the quality of the article, sources etc from experienced writer? Maybe someone who can help me expand it a bit more. Is there such a place for finding this kind of help? A.Atig (talk) 08:45, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We don't help with co-authors on this board; you could try the more general Help Desk. I would just suggest that you wait for feedback from the reviewer so you know specifically what to change, if needed. 331dot (talk) 08:56, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is this an alternate account for you? This account has never edited this draft. 331dot (talk) 08:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

12:28, 2 May 2024 review of submission by Gabbellaokeeffee[edit]

Hi there,

Can someone help me with how I can edit the name of a page?

Thank you in advance! Gabbellaokeeffee (talk) 12:28, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gabbellaokeefee I will shortly move it so that it is in Draft space and not your sandbox- though the particular title of a draft is not that relevant until the draft is accepted. Changing a title requires a page move, which new accounts can't do immediately. 331dot (talk) 12:30, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have placed it at Draft:FileCloud. I am wondering if you have a connection to this company. 331dot (talk) 12:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

13:59, 2 May 2024 review of submission by Eminatore[edit]

Hi there,

my draft article Draft:Collisional-Radiative Modeling has been rejected because of missing resources. However, there are three adequate resources. My question is if the first paragraph is fine? I could add one two resources for the last paragraph? Would that be enough to get it accepted? Thanks for helping a newbie. Eminatore (talk) 13:59, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eminatore I fixed your link, the whole url is not needed. You have sources that describe what this modeling is, but no sources that describe what makes it notable. 331dot (talk) 15:01, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@331dot @Umakant Bhalerao Why was the reason not notability then? Would it be accepted if I add a sentence after the first one like 'This plasma radiation physics is critical for the diagnosis and simulation of astrophysical and nuclear fusion plasma.' I would cite source [1] for this. Eminatore (talk) 15:25, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still not clear on how that makes this topic notable enough for a standalone article- perhaps as part of nuclear fusion, plasma, or some other article? It could be that this topic is just too far above my pay grade, but I do see that the last paragraph is completely unsourced. 331dot (talk) 15:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, then I integrate my article to the Plasma Modeling article and add two references for the last paragraph. Thanks for helping. Eminatore (talk) 16:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:31, 2 May 2024 review of submission by 202.134.148.121[edit]

Hello, edited page according to previous messages but still not accepted. 202.134.148.121 (talk) 14:31, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently you didn't, as the draft was rejected. Please see the message left by the reviewer; it appears that this organization is simply not notable as Wikipedia uses the term. 331dot (talk) 14:59, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18:04, 2 May 2024 review of submission by Thetruthseeker12[edit]

I need to ask a question. A person declined my submission and said that most of my references are links to songs. So do I delete all the links to songs and only keep the links to news and sites? Which would only make me have 17 references. Thetruthseeker12 (talk) 18:04, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Thetruthseeker12 it isn't the quantity of references that make a good article, it is the quality. Three really strong references that follow the golden rule are much preferred to 17 poor quality references.
For your draft: yes, remove all the Apple Music references. Then see what that leaves you, and check if the references that are left prove this person is notable under WP:NMUSICIAN. Qcne (talk) 19:28, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

20:42, 2 May 2024 review of submission by Diatom.phage[edit]

Hi- I added more refs to this draft subsequent to the initial rejection. I read the musician notability requirements page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Musicians/Article_guidelines

and feel that she meets the requirements and so on the Talk page for the draft made an argument for article status. That said, I also read TONS of Wikipedia articles on notability and see that it is a complex issue. I think I need advice. I don't want to bomb with references. Goodfellow is a highly desired sideman that I discovered after seeing she drums with every new musician I find. She is listed on Wikipedia pages for several musician as a member on a record or tour member, but lacks her own page. THANK YOU in advance Diatom.phage (talk) 20:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:24, 3 May 2024 review of submission by 2C0F:F4C0:2316:2CE8:55AD:C2B9:191:92ED[edit]

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.

Any help fixing the above, please

I would like to get the article published.

I don't understand why this item is not eligible, with all sources cited. Patrick CecilF (talk) 12:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Patrick CecilF It is a hard requirement that articles must be referenced using reliable sources, and biographies must have in-line citations throughout the text for every statement. Please see WP:VERIFY and then follow the tutorial at WP:INTREFVE.
Peter may be notable for inclusion in Wikipedia but as you have provided no references it is impossible to tell.

A mere timeline of disparate events in a bulleted-list fashion is not going to be an acceptable article.

Johirkhanarif, the references now in the draft do not show that this person is notable. Being listed in a sports database is not significant coverage. When notability has challenged by an editor acting in good faith, then it is incumbent on you to convince reviewers that the person is WP:PERSON as Wikipedia defines that term. You have work to do.

This draft has been rejected for the third time and will not be considered further. Don't try and twist what the reviewers have been saying; they said nothing about creating a similar list in mainspace and flat-out said "Do not submit this again."[emphasis added] If you submit this again, the odds are very good it will be taken to WP:Miscellany for deletion. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v AE thread summaries 18:23, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18:35, 4 May 2024 review of submission by Ruth Bader Yinzburg[edit]

Hi, my AFC was declined because the subject was not deemed notable enough. I cited two book reviews and a significant book award that the subject won. How much more material would I have to find for the subject to be deemed notable? Or is this one of those cases where it might make more sense to do a draft on the book, as opposed to the author. Or is the problem that wiki doesn’t consider the pen/Faulkner to be a major literary prize within the notability guidelines for authors? Ruth Bader Yinzburg (talk) 18:35, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ruth Bader Yinzburg: No, the issue is your sources are not in-line. For biographies of living people, you cannot just slap a references list on the end and call it good; you need to cite your sources at the end of every claim that a reasonable person could challenge. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v AE thread summaries 18:39, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a business directory where mere existence is sufficient for inclusion. There is nothing in this draft to suggest that the business is even remotely notable or noteworthy. You need to produce independent and reliable secondary sources with significant coverage of this business, to demonstrate notability per WP:NCORP.
You also need to disclose your conflict of interest (COI). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:18, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I am creating a page for a graphic designer with a notable 50 year career. How do I create it without using his website biography. [1]2601:589:4300:3E61:A571:99F7:A0FD:8EF3 (talk) 05:48, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saying that someone is notable isn't enough, you need to provide evidence of this. They need to satisfy either the general WP:GNG or the special WP:ARTIST guideline. Both require independent and reliable sources; the person's own website is not enough. If that's the only source you have, then you need to search further, and if more and better sources still cannot be found then notability cannot be established.
That said, this draft has been submitted and is awaiting review, so you will find out in due course whether it has been accepted, and if not, why not. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:14, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please understand that 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 entirely 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.
As far as I can see, not one of the sources in the current version of the draft meets the triple criterion of being reliably published (blogs are not), being entirely independent of Kretzchmar, and containing significant coverage of him: see WP:42 for more about those criteria,.
The very first step in writing an article is to find those reliable, independent, substantial sources, because if you can't find them, then there is no point in spending any more time and effort on this article. ColinFine (talk) 21:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a problem with Wikipedia's reviewing system. When I write something a little incorrectly, the admins delete the page in 2 seconds, when I put an enormous amount of effort on an article, it doesn't even get looked over! I know that there are thousands of articles posted for review, but it is very irritating. So if you could please take a look at the article, it will be much appreciated, thank you. SouthPole5423 (talk) 06:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SouthPole5423: we don't do on-demand reviews here at the help desk; the draft has been submitted and will be reviewed when someone picks it up.
And no pages are deleted for something written "a little incorrectly". Or if you have evidence to the contrary, take it up through appropriate channels. (Spam is deleted on sight, but that's a different matter.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Drxhemant: as explained already (and please don't start a new thread with each comment, just add to the previous one), your promotional autobio draft has been rejected, which means that it will not be considered further. You are also starting to veer dangerously close to the definition of promotion-only account, which may result in sanctioning.

Because it isn't suitable for publishing. If you're providing advice for sales people, please note that Wikipedia does not publish how-to-guides or instruction manuals, etc. If you're instead writing about the term or neologism 'sales blunder', you would need to show that it is notable in its own right, which wasn't shown in this draft. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RobertoDelgado07 (talk) 11:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RobertoDelgado07: first and foremost, it is in Spanish, whereas this is the English-language version of Wikipedia and we can therefore only accept content in English.
Secondly, there was no evidence that you are notable in the Wikipedia sense of the word.
And in any case, you shouldn't be writing about yourself in the first place; see WP:AUTOBIO.

Yes, you're right, I'm not quite sure how this works. I think Wikipedia is an incredible platform to be a part of, due to its notoriety and the growth potential and reach it can offer my brand. As an independent content creator, I'm doing what I can to figure things out and manage myself on social media and handle everything on my own. I apologize in advance for the lack of professionalism. As I mentioned earlier, I'm handling things alone, so I have very little knowledge of how these things work. Nonetheless, thank you very much for your time and recommendations.

RobertoDelgado07 I apologize for being frank, but Wikipedia has zero interest in helping you to promote your brand. Wikipedia is not a form of social media.

Resubmitting a rejected draft will involve speaking to the reviewer to convince them that enough has fundamentally changed about the draft to warrant its being resubmitted(as opposed to purely cosmetic changes/additions).

20:09, 5 May 2024 review of submission by OrganizationTheory[edit]

Hi all! Looking for some advice. This draft was declined with the reason that the subject of the article didn't meet notability guidelines for academics/professors (WP:NPROF). But, as early as the first line, the article draft demonstrates using reliable sources that the professor is an endowed and named chair at Stony Brook University, which is a R1 university (the classification for universities with very high research output) and thus clearly meets notability Criterion 5. As the WP:NPROF page notes, only one notability criterion is needed for a professor to merit an article (although I do note other criteria on the talk page of the draft). So I'm not sure what to make of the reason for rejection. Any advice on how to proceed? Thanks in advance! OrganizationTheory (talk) 20:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OrganizationTheory: I agree, the named chair would seem to satisfy WP:NACADEMIC #5. I've marked a few things that require citations, but otherwise this should be good to go. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:27, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fantastic! Thank you so much for your prompt and very helpful response. I made all the changes you noted including moving the article to the appropriate name. How would you recommend I go about getting it published? Should I just resubmit or is there a quicker process now that an editor has looked it all over and ensured it meets academic notability criteria?

02:20, 6 May 2024 review of submission by Ruth Bader Yinzburg[edit]

Hi, I was wondering how to turn the novel reviews and the long list of “best of the year” lists the novel mentioned in this article appears in into single footnotes that have a bulleted list of citations in them for readability purposes. So the footnote would say [1], and the linked citations would be bullet points for a series of reviews / a series of best book of the year lists. Thank you. Ruth Bader Yinzburg (talk) 02:20, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ruth Bader Yinzburg: firstly, this is a question on general editing, not about the AfC process, therefore you should ask at the Teahouse or the general help desk. Secondly, I don't know that it's possible to do what (I think) you're describing; nor do I think it would be a good idea. And thirdly, reviews of a book this person wrote are arguably not all that relevant in a draft about the person, they belong rather in an article about the book. In any case, this draft has been resubmitted and is awaiting review, and as such matters don't have much or any bearing on the draft's chances of being accepted, I suggest leaving this for now and seeing how the review (and the ongoing MfD discussion) goes. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:47, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We need to see significant coverage, directly of the event in question, in multiple secondary sources (newspapers, magazines, books, TV and radio programmes, etc.) that are reliable and entirely independent of the source. This draft cites no such source, with the possible exception of the Taz article (and maybe the BZ one, at a pinch), which isn't enough. The rest of them are primary sources, apparent rehashes of material put out by the event organisers, non-reliable sources, and/or passing mentions. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:19, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ryry10 0: are you writing about yourself, or a personal acquaintance? If so, it's not enough to write what you know about the subject, you need to be summarising what independent and reliable secondary sources have said about them, citing those sources against the information they have provided. Your draft has no such sources (or indeed, sources of any kind), and cannot therefore be accepted.
Also, the subject must be notable in Wikipedia terms to be published in the encyclopaedia. There is nothing in this draft to suggest that is the case.
And finally, if you are writing about yourself, don't - see WP:AUTOBIO for the reasons why. And if you're writing about a friend or family member, you have what's known as a conflict of interest (COI), which must be disclosed – see WP:COI. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:44, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Shhrikantta.
Your draft fails our notability criteria for books. Wikipedia is a collection of topics that we deem "notable" by our notability criteria and you have not proven your book is notable.
Your draft also contravenes our neutral point of view policy. Please note that promotion of any kind is prohibited on Wikipedia. I have therefore tagged your article for deletion.
I would recommend finding a social media website - not Wikipedia - to promote your book.

Imoutofchoices Each language Wikipedia is a separate project, all with their own editors and policies. What is acceptable on one version is not necessarily acceptable here.

@Imoutofchoices: Different Wikipediae have different standards for notability and the reliability of choices, and the English-language Wikipedia tends to be one of the strictest ones.

An independent game journalism website could be reliable, as long as it is fairly mainstream and the article is not being sponsored by Pigeon Games. Qcne (talk) 16:24, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've been seeing articles from a website called lakevalor, is that a reliable spot? I usually edit on a school chromebook, so I don't usually have access to these sites on a daily basis Imoutofchoices (talk) 16:28, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The thing to realise is that 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 entirely 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.
The majority of sources - and all those used to establish notability - need to be wholly unconnected with the subject and its producers, distributors etc, as well as being reliable. ColinFine (talk) 20:53, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
However, a question that popped up is the reliability of foreign language citations, would those be useful for an English article? Imoutofchoices (talk) 18:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, assuming they otherwise meet the criteria laid out in WP:RS. We also accept offline sources, if cited properly. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v AE thread summaries 08:49, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Even if you did find a "reliable website" we assess sources not primarily on the outlet that publishes the source but on the character of the source itself. Kotaku is an acceptable source in most circumstances; the issue you have here is that you linked to a profile for the game on Kotaku (as opposed to one of its game reviews or journalistic articles), which has pretty much no information that can be cited. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v AE thread summaries 16:43, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

16:07, 6 May 2024 review of submission by 67.183.4.58[edit]

Can anyone provide more detail on why this submission was not accepted for publication? Here are the reasons I was given: in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject) reliable secondary independent of the subject

I included 3 reliable primary sources (published books), I am independent of the subject, and the article is entirely dedicated to it (not just a passing mention). Thanks for any guidance you can provide! 67.183.4.58 (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed your link for proper display(it lacked the "Draft:" portion). Remember to log in when posting. Your draft does little more than document the existence of this facility and describe its offerings; you instead need to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about this facility, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. 331dot (talk) 16:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having difficulty understanding what this article is lacking. I have cited a source, made references to external sources and links. The latest response was this individual does not meet the criteria for a page. He's an accomplished musician and has appeared on a major TV shows and performed in bands with major artists. Furthermore, this individual has an approved page for Wikipedia-Norwegian which was the inspiration for creating a page for en.wikipedia (https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Cheznovitz) Crazytiger954 (talk) 19:06, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Crazytiger954 Please know that each language Wikipedia is its own project, with their own editors and policies. What is acceptable on one version is not necessarily acceptable on another.
You only have one source, and many unsourced claims. Every substantive claim about a living person must have a source, see WP:BLP. An article must summarize multiple sources. 331dot (talk) 19:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I added citations. Hope I did a better job. Suhashini2024 (talk) 22:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
These are the exact same sources I called out as being unusable in the previous iteration of the draft, all of which were written on his behalf by organisations he has ties to.. Such sources are useless for notability as Wikipedia defines it and for the more rigourous sourcing requirements for content about living people. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v AE thread summaries 23:37, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:29, 7 May 2024 review of submission by Artem S. Tashkinov[edit]

  • The translation layer which now supports over 20K Windows titles under Linux is not "noteworthy"?
  • A software title which made Linux an actual gaming platform?
  • It's extensively used by Intel in their Windows GPU driver!
  • Something which is sponsored and used by Valve Corporation to enable gaming on Steam Deck?

OK, then, screw it! It's not my issue that "esteemed" media doesn't want to write about it. It's sad but I'll just let it expire if no one volunteers to make this article WP-compliant. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 10:29, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per the review comment "Sources almost certainly exist for this, but they need to be found and integrated" you have not done this yet despite a list of possible sources being provided. Theroadislong (talk) 10:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are no sources where DXVK is featured as the main topic. None. The links provided are only tangentially related to DXVK. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 14:48, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Artem S. Tashkinov: if you're disputing the AfC reviewer's assessment, you're free to move this into the main article space yourself, given that you have extended confirmed status (unless of course you have a COI?). New page patrol will then take a view on it instead (albeit that they implement the same guidelines).
If your issue is more fundamentally with Wikipedia's notability policies, then this is the wrong forum for that debate. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:48, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want to dispute anything TBO. I'm tired of arguing and disputes, there's just too much of it. I have no COI, it's open source software. I've no idea how to move it into the main article, and even if I knew how, I'm afraid someone would speedily delete it for the same "being unworthy"/"lack of citations" reasons. In short, would be great if you took it from here. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 14:51, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You use the "move" function to move the draft into the encyclopedia(it may be in a drop-down menu at the top). Yes, it's possible what you say could happen- which is the risk of moving it yourself against the advice of reviewers. This isn't the place to solicit someone to "take over" for you- if you want to see it in the encyclopedia, you need to do the work and be able to defend it. If that's not something you want to do(nothing wrong with that, this environment isn't for everyone), this is probably the end of the road for the draft unless someone else interested in this software finds it(possible but unlikely) and takes it up themselves. 331dot (talk) 15:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you're Omagol, please remember to log in when editing.
There doesn't seem to be a problem with referencing, at least not in a technical sense; two citations have been successfully created (albeit to pretty useless sources). You probably have more of a problem with finding sources that would establish the subject's notability. No one can help you there, you should be citing the sources which have provided the information in the draft. What are they?
Or might you be writing about yourself, or an acquaintance? If so, see WP:AUTOBIO and WP:COI, respectively. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:55, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. My article submission was declined due to lacking reliable sources. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I'd appreciate some advice on which source(s) were problematic and/or which parts were inadequately sourced so I can fix them. Thank you! Agron776 (talk) 00:16, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Agron776, welcome to the Teahouse!
  1. This source seems to be a brief mention of Kaleshi and does not provide WP:SIGCOV.
  2. An offline source I cannot access - which is fine to use! - but it would be useful to know if this source provides sigcov of Kaleshi?
  3. The same source as the first one.
  4. I've searched this book for "Kaleshi" and there are five very brief mentions, so unfortunately does not provide that sigcov again.
Hope that helps. Qcne (talk) 08:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I learned of the whole feud with this article and I wanna know why it's getting denied repeatedly.

DualSkream (talk) 00:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to cite whatever sources provided the information in the draft. If the source is not reliable, then you shouldn't be using its information in the first place. In that case the answer does not lie in removing the citation and hiding where the information has come from, but in using a reliable source instead. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
