00:54, 31 July 2025 review of submission by Jarel Zoldyck

edit

Hi,

Why is my contribution being deleted? What is wrong with the wiki page I am creating? Jarel Zoldyck (talk) 00:54, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jarel Zoldyck, you declined it yourself by asking a chatbot to help you submit it, and pasting in whatever nonsense the bot hallucinated for you. If you had submitted it properly, a reviewer would have declined it with advice to read our guidelines on WP:Notability (people) and Help:Referencing for beginners.

Hi,

I am a new Wikipedia editor, and my first submission Draft:Oded Napchi was recently declined for notability, source quality, and tone concerns. I am seeking guidance from the expert Wikipedia community to help.

There was a previous issue with my first 3 citations, which I have repaired. Additionally, if you could kindly offer input, might you please advise:

1. Are my current sources sufficient for notability, or what types of additional sources should I find? 2. How can I best revise the draft to ensure a neutral, encyclopedic tone? 3. Are there other key issues blocking approval?

Oded already a published Wikipedia page in Hebrew, if this can helps my US/EN version: https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%93%D7%93_%D7%A0%D7%A4%D7%97%D7%99

Thank you! NateMoster (talk) 01:38, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NateMoster Interviews and quotes from Napchi are not independent sources, so they do not help to demonstrate that the subject meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability.
Do you have a connection to Napchi? If you do, this must be disclosed, see WP:Conflict of interest. If you are being paid by Napchi, you are required to make a WP:Paid-contribution disclosure regardless of whether you are specifically paid to edit Wikipedia. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 05:11, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for this helpful feedback; it's appreciated! I will review and use to strengthen my Wiki contributions. NateMoster (talk) 14:33, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @NateMoster. The Hebrew article he:עודד נפחי will help only if its sources are acceptable to English Wikipedia. I haven't looked closely, but the Globes link does not find a specific article, the Yahoo Finance article is mostly quoted from Napchi, and so is not independent, A list of patents is a primary source, and an article by Napchi also does not contribute to establishing that he meets English Wikipedia's criteria for notability. You need several sources each of which meets all the criteria in WP:42, and the bulk of the article must be based on those sources.
It is possible that some of the Hebrew sources I have not looked at meet those criteria, but none of the English ones appeared to. (If the Hebrew sources do, then you can use them: sources in English are preferred, but sources in other languages are acceptable, as long as they meet the criteria). ColinFine (talk) 17:10, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate this perspective as I learn the Wikipedia ways...I am looking closer at the notability requirements now, as well as the Hebrew sources...thank you again for this helpful input. NateMoster (talk) 17:16, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MY NAME IS TUHIN SIKDAR TuhinSikdar19081992 (talk) 07:47, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is pure self-promotion, it has no substantial content, no supporting references, no indication of why the subject of the article (i.e. you) are notable. Wikipedia is not a place to post autobiographies and all that is why your draft has been rejected once already. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:49, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Draft Review and Arabic Title

edit

Hello, I would like to request a review of the article draft for Draft:ELsusi.

This is a biography of Mohammed Elsusi, a Palestinian rapper and activist currently based in Norway under the ICORN City of Refuge program. The article contains numerous reliable references including news coverage, festival programs, and official music platforms.

In addition to the review, I kindly request that the Arabic title "سوسي" be included and displayed on the page. This is the name by which the artist is widely known in Arabic-speaking contexts, and it is crucial for search engine visibility and recognition in Arabic Wikipedia and Google results.

Thank you for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elsusi (talk • contribs) 08:03, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Elsusi: Draft:Elsusi has been deleted as promotional.
Also, please note that autobiographies are very strongly discouraged, see WP:AUTOBIO. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:20, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, @Elsusi, please note taht "Search engine visibility and recognition" is absolutely not part of Wikipedia's purpose. ColinFine (talk) 21:17, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me to publish my clients legal existing company details. Its me who have wrote this and used ai for writing references only 👍 Yaratul (talk) 10:01, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yaratul You need to formally disclose your paid relationship per the Terms of Use, see your user talk page for instructions. You must do this soon.
If the company is your client, why are you claiming that you personally created and personally own the copyright to the company logo?
The draft contains a portions that says the company fails a notability analysis- I agree that the company is not notable according to WP:ORG. 331dot (talk) 10:03, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's quite remarkable, not often you see something like that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:12, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

edit

Please help me for writing and publishing article for Third Eye Gen NickCherukuri (talk) 14:57, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @NickCherukuri read Your first article. Also press releases, social media, Forbes Technology Council, etc. are not reliable independent sources. In fact, there is not a single source cited that meet all four criteria: reliable, secondary, independent and in-depth coverage directly about the subject.

15:00, 31 July 2025 review of submission by Khachatas

edit

The page is still in drafts and keeps getting declined. This is my first page and I would like to know what exactly to improve. Thank you! Khachatas (talk) 15:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Khachatas You need the full title when linking, including the "Draft:" portion, I fixed this.
You must disclose your connection to this band, see WP:COI and WP:PAID. You took a very professional looking image of the band where they posed for you.
The draft is poorly sourced and shows no indication of how they are notable. 331dot (talk) 16:47, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your reply, this was really helpful.
I understand the COI policy, but what if I deleted all the parts where inpartiality was infringed, now there are only facts about the band's history, can it still be accepted? Also unfortunately there aren't plenty of sources to attach about the provided facts as the band is quite niche. Khachatas (talk) 17:16, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If there are no or few sources, that means that the band would not merit an article at this time. You will, however, still need to address the photo. If you did not take this photo(as I suspect) you must immediately without delay request its deletion from Commons as every second it is here puts Wikipedia at risk of legal action for copyright infringement. Unless you did indeed take the photo, in which case you must disclose your connection to this band. 331dot (talk) 18:42, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have submitted a few drafts but I was rejected every time. I would like assistance to improve the draft and have it published. Thank you. 98.97.63.10 (talk) 16:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the creator of the draft, remember to log in when posting. If you work for this company, that must be disclosed, see WP:PAID.
Wikipedia is not a place to just tell about a company, its offerings, and activities. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. 331dot (talk) 16:43, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

16:24, 31 July 2025 review of submission by Missmolly94

edit

My article about Winifred Johnston Randall was rejected by Rahmatula786 because the subject does not have "significant coverage in published, reliable secondary sources." The difficulty in referencing "reliable secondary sources" is that the subject significantly predates the internet, and source material about her were in print, and most are not available on the internet.

While Winifred Randall was not a nationally notable person with a lot of national news coverage, her story deserves to be accessible to people interested in learning about this remarkable person, how and what she achieved. She had several major accomplishments, which were covered at the time or at least within her lifetime. Accomplishments of women dating back to the turn of the 20th century, often get overlooked and forgotten. While a researcher can discover more about her in the Fort Wayne, Indiana archives, without an overview of her accomplishments in the medium of today, the internet, her story will be forgotten. (Even if I were able to go to Fort Wayne and go through their archives, I could provide no link to these print sources.)

I have provided a link to a source, which admittedly is not an independent source, but within the source I provided are newspaper clippings, which validate the reliability of the information provided. None of these newspaper articles are online. They are too old. I do not, however, think an article should be rejected because the secondary sources are too old for the internet. Missmolly94 (talk) 16:24, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was declined, not rejected. Rejected has a specific meaning in the draft process, that a draft may not be resubmitted. Declined means that it may be resubmitted.
Offline sources are perfectly acceptable. That's not why the draft was declined. You did an excellent job summarizing her life, but not shown how she is a notable person. What was her particularly influence according to sources? That's what we're interested in. 331dot (talk) 16:38, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you think the sources in the archive might demonstrate her notability, you might need, if able, to go there and see what they say. 331dot (talk) 16:40, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My reviewer keep declining my article because of it what does it mean Raphaelmarkus001 (talk) 18:39, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Raphaelmarkus001 you used ChatGPT to create the draft whose output or instructions included the decline so essentially you declined your own draft. What I suggest doing is blanking the draft and starting over without using AI after you have read Your first article. S0091 (talk) 18:43, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

20:45, 31 July 2025 review of submission by 2601:803:8080:5770:E5F9:84EA:83F1:BAE2

edit

Good afternoon,

I am a little confused as to why this draft was rejected. Dr. Reinholz meets criteria 1, 2, and 4. I have also cited multiple (26!) sources detailing different parts of Dr. Reinholz's academic career, contributions to higher education, and awards in addition to his contributions to co-developing an classroom evaluation tool - EQUIP. To this end, I have satisfied not one, but BOTH of the aforementioned "criteria for resubmitting." Although Dr. Reinholz meets criteria from the eight academic-specific criteria, I still have included several secondary sources written by third parties, including citation numbers 3, 4, 10, and 11.

What am I missing?

Thank you,

Dr. Ridgway 2601:803:8080:5770:E5F9:84EA:83F1:BAE2 (talk) 20:45, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

21:13, 31 July 2025 review of submission by Coining

edit

Hello,

I've received a message saying that I cannot resubmit this article submission. I've read over the comment that cited WP:NOTTVGUIDE, and other than the fact that the article is largely about TV coverage, I don't quite understand how WP:NOTTVGUIDE applies. The full text of that policy is "An article on a broadcaster should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, format clocks, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable," but the proposed article does none of those things. Any insights that can be provided would be much appreciated. Thank you. Coining (talk) 21:13, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Easternsahara please respond. S0091 (talk) 21:22, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @Coining. Which of your sources is an in-depth article about the subject "Sports broadcasting contracts in Israel"? Does even one of them contain the phrase "Sports broadcasting contracts in Israel"? Or even the phrase "Sports broadcasting contracts"? Without such sources, "Sports broadcasting contracts in Israel" is not a notable subject.
It looks to me as if they are mostly, yes, TV guides.
It is possible that an article List of sports broadcasting contracts in Israel might be acceptable, providing the sourcing met the criteria for WP:NLIST. (I am not very familiar with stand-alone lists, so I'm not sure). ColinFine (talk) 21:35, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the questions. The title of the article is based on parallel articles, such as Sports broadcasting contracts in Canada and Sports broadcasting contracts in the United Kingdom. In any case, the points that you raise all go to general WP:NOTABILITY, rather than WP:NOTTVGUIDE, which was the denial reason cited. To clarify, I'm not saying there couldn't have been a basis to deny the request to publish the article, but I don't think WP:NOTTVGUIDE is such a basis -- the proposed article doesn't "list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, format clocks, etc." -- and given that the draft article is being denied the ability to ever be improved and resubmitted, I think it appropriate to seek this clarification, and perhaps if different criteria need to be addressed, the article can be allowed to be revised to meet those concerns. Coining (talk) 21:48, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
At WP:NLIST it states the following: "accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". I wrongly cited wp:nottvguide. As for the other lists, there could be sources saying that sports broadcasting contracts in those countries. I will check and if there are not then I will list them for deletion 🇪🇭 Easternsahara U T C 22:38, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Given the change in rationale, can the draft, instead of being "rejected" be "declined," allowing for a revised draft in the future to be submitted if it meets the WP:NLIST criteria? Thank you for your consideration of this request. Coining (talk) 23:03, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If it is ok, can I reiterate this request to have the rejection of the draft article modified so that I can have a chance to redraft it? The declinations that had not quite the right rationale threw me off from, I guess, properly drafting it. I'd appreciate another opportunity. Coining (talk) 00:58, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

21:53, 31 July 2025 review of submission by TESENT Games

edit

Can I add a line to my infobox that isn't in the template? Can I use photos from events that have happened that I didn't take? Off the internet. Dose it help to have Wikipedia links to my article? TESENT Games (talk) 21:53, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @TESENT Games.
1. In general, no. An infobox can only display the information it was coded for: to add extra lines would normally require somebody to change the coding (and usually to add parameters). You can request that on the talk page of the Template, but you will need to make a strong case in order for a Template coder to think it worth spending time on. Some templates have "catchall" parameters, where you can put free-form notes - you'd need to look at the documentation of the template.
But the Infobox is a complete irrelevance to getting your draft accepted.
2. In general, no. Wikipedia (and Wikimedia projects generally) are meticulous about copyright. Unless you can clearly demonstrate that the photo in question has been explicitly placed in the public ___domain by its copyright holder, or explicitly released under a copyleft licence such as CC-BY_SA by its copyright holder, you may not use it. (There is a partial exception if your use meets all the criteria in the non-free content criteria, but one of those is that non-free images may only be used in article, not in drafts).
Again, photos are a complete irrelevance to getting your draft accepted.
The main issue is about citations, and hence notability. Your citations are all listed at the end, with no indication as to which information in the text they are intended to support. Since the main (and essentially the sole) purpose of citing a source in a Wikipedia article is to provide verification for a piece of information in the article, this is less than satisfactory. Please see referencing for beginners.
My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft. If you don't follow this advice but try to create an article without this preparation, you are likely to have a frustrating and disappointing experience with Wikipedia.
