  • Draft:Lajos Stockler (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

despite having sourced and included many numerous published references I am continuing to struggle with satisfying he editors requirements of the notability evidence requirements. The purpose of setting up this Wikipedia page is for other researchers across Australia and Hungary to contribute towards in establishing a historical record of Stockler Lajos and build that body of work for someone being lost to history. He was considered a hero in Hungary, for his efforts in saving many thousands of Jews during the holocaust and he was robbed of that historical recognition through show trials, torture and false imprisonment. I don't understand the editors rejection of him having received one of Hungary's most prestigious awards as not meeting the criteria of WP:ANYBIO #1. This award was given to him by the prime minister and documented in the Official Hungarian Gazette. He was also falsely arrested and prosecuted for the alleged murder of Raoul Wallenberg one of histories most notable figures in the Hungarian holocaust. I feel im in a catch 22 position that without the aid of other contributors, providing rare research contributions etc, i will never meet the threshold being sought. It seems quite inconsistent with a number of others referenced within the draft, who have secured wikipedia articles. please help?? Stckler (talk) 01:37, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Stckler, I think your biggest problem at the moment is that Wikipedia articles must summarize secondary sources (and these sources must meet the triple criteria in WP:42) and it sounds like you may be having trouble finding those. Wikipedia is not a good place to draw attention to a subject - it's where articles are written after the subject is well-known enough to have been written about in lots of other places already. It sounds like he did some remarkable things in his life - are there no books about him, or in-depth newspaper articles, or anything along those lines?

It's entirely possible that other subjects referenced in the draft should not have Wikipedia articles; a huge number of articles were created in Wikipedia's infancy and don't meet our current standards. Unfortunately we don't have enough people to find and improve them or delete them, so we have to wait until someone stumbles across such an article and alerts active editors to the situation. If you think you've found any of those articles, we would be very pleased to know about it so we can take action. Meadowlark (talk) 15:41, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draft:Jonathan Yates (golfer) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

To Whom It May Concern,

I hope you are well. When submitting an article about Jonathan Yates, a professional golfer from Ireland, the reason for rejection is under WP:NGOLF and that he does not meet the points listed. However, Jonathan fulfils the criteria on 2 separate points mentioned in this and I have supplied relevant references validating this;

3 - They have won at least one professional golf tournament 4 -They have won at least one recognized amateur golf tournament at the national or international level. When reviewing Jonathan's career to date he has won at least one professional golf tournament satisfying point 3 and he has won at least one recognized amateur golf tournament at the national or international level. All of the evidence is in the article and references that Jonathan meets the standards to be published.

I believe I have satisfied the necessary format to get this article published and would like to get this finalised as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

Golflover1 Wikipedia has no deadlines; what's your urgency?

Some of the references are still bare urls; please format them(see referencing for beginners if need be).

WP:NGOLF is no longer a hard list of criteria; it's simply a guide as to things a golfer can do to have received significant coverage in independent sources. If you believe that you have now demonstrated that he has received significant coverage in independent reliable sources, and summarized that coverage, the first step is to appeal to the rejecting reviewer directly(on their user talk page). 331dot (talk) 10:01, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It 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.

Your draft is completely unsourced and has no indication that you meet the definition of a notable musician. Also note that writing about yourself, while not absolutely forbidden, is highly discouraged, please see the autobiography policy.

I will fix your post to provide a link to your draft as intended. 331dot (talk) 10:19, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Lavish VIG. Please note 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 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.

What makes writing about yourself hard is that, once you have found the independent reliable published sources about yourself, you will then need to effectively forget everything you know about yourself, and write a summary of what those sources say - even if you think they are wrong. Do you see why this is hard? ColinFine (talk) 15:23, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing is to not write it with an AI/LLM.

If you are writing about yourself, this is highly discouraged, please read the autobiography policy. Please see other stuff exists; each article or draft is judged on its own merits and not based on the presence of other articles that themselves may be inappropriate and just not yet addressed by a volunteer. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to exist, in many ways; this cannot justify adding more inappropriate content. If you would like to help us, please identify these other articles you have seen so action can be taken if need be.

Hello editors,

I would like to kindly request a new article to be created about Malaysian singer-songwriter **Aiman Max** (real name: Wan Aiman bin Wan Aaqashah), who began his career in 2025. He is known for blending pop and hip-hop influences, with recent singles gaining media coverage in Malaysia.

Here are some reliable sources with independent coverage: - Murai.my article: https://murai.my/2025/249269/fragile-heart-oleh-aiman-max-balada-tentang-luka-cinta-harapan/ - NewsWorldOfficial feature: https://newsworldofficial.medium.com/aiman-max-menyatukan-pop-dan-hip-hop-dalam - Official artist biodata: https://sites.google.com/view/newsworldnews/aiman-max-artis-malaysia-baharu-biodata

I believe this satisfies the notability criteria under WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. I would appreciate it if someone could help write a neutral, referenced article.

Thank you! Aimanmaxartis (talk) 17:14, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Aimanmaxartis: This is not the page to request someone create an article for you. However, I will humour you as regards the sources:

Request for neutral editor - Eric Schultz (clarinetist)

Hello,

I am Eric Schultz. I have a conflict of interest because I am the subject of a possible article, so I am asking a neutral editor for help. I believe there is sufficient reliable coverage to meet Wikipedia’s notability criteria for musicians, and I would greatly appreciate if someone could review and consider creating an article in a neutral way.

Here are independent, reliable sources with significant coverage:

In addition, here are primary sources for factual details:

Coastal Carolina University Faculty Bio: https://www.coastal.edu/academics/facultyprofiles/humanities/music/ericschultz/

Eric Schultz on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13071462/

I understand these are self-published and do not establish notability, but I am sharing them in case they help verify certain facts.

If an article is created, a suggested title could be Eric Schultz (clarinetist) to distinguish me from others with the same name.

I am happy to answer any factual questions, but will leave any writing to neutral volunteers. Thank you very much! ESchultz9 (talk) 19:48, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ESchultz9 This is not the place to request that an article be created about you; that is done at requested articles, though that is severely backlogged. It is not absolutely forbidden for people to write about themselves, but it is highly discouraged per the autobiography policy.

My advice is that you forget that Wikipedia exists and go on about your career as if you had never heard of it, and allow an article to organically develop the usual way- when an independent editor takes note of coverage of you in independent sources and chooses on their own to write about you. There are good reasons to not want an article about yourself, see WP:PROUD. 331dot (talk) 20:12, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jéské Couriano Nominations are fine, see #8: "Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award". At least as long as the person is specifically named. 331dot (talk) 21:04, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure it's really applicable in this case. This educator's cites go to being named a "quarterfinalist" for the Grammy award, so wasn't one of typically five, but as many as 10 traditional "nominees" for an award. Being a quarterfinalist for the music educator award for the 2024 award meant being one of 335 educators nominated (212 from ~2,000 applicants and 123 legacy applications from the previous year) [1].

Hi @Ren LiQian.

Wikipedia cannot reference Wikipedia - so your two references are not permitted. The Chinese Wikipedia and the English Wikipedia are independent projects and have different rules: what is acceptable there may not be accepted here. What you wrote in your draft, in it's current state, is not appropriate for Wikipedia and has been rejected. qcne (talk) 22:25, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Ren LiQian.

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.

This applies equally to translating from another Wikipedia. In rare cases, the original article will have adequate sources according to the English Wikipedia's requirements, but you still need the knowledge referred to above to verify this.

I'm not sure what your draft is supposed to be: it looks as if it is a translation of an annal or traditional story. Whatever it is, it is not acceptable as an artilce in English Wikipedia. An article in English Wikipedia should be a neutral summary of what has been written about the subject in reliable published sources, and little else.

@Bakesandbooks: "It sounds like an advertizement" is strictly an indictment of how the article was written and not the sources cited. We also very strongly err towards NOT having articles on children if we can help it unless the sourcing is ironclad, since a Wikipedia article will irrevocably destroy any chance they have at a private life. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 20:58, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Almost every single sentence in the draft is promotionally written. In addition, a lot of the claims made in the draft are promotional rather than informational, and would need to be removed, for instance all mentions of records registered with various books of records.

It will almost certainly be a waste of your own time to work on this draft – the kid is simply not notable, that is something multiple experiences Wikipedia editors have concluded repeatedly over the past few years. --bonadea contributions talk 21:17, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IP editor, your draft is very promotional of the subject, which is not what Wikipedia is for. YouTubers are, as a guideline, not notable apart from only the biggest and most popular YouTubers and streamers that get exposure in reliable sources. The subject of your draft does not meet the notability requirements and is not referenced in any reliable sources. He is also not yet notable from an artist standpoint either.

Beyond the lack of formal disclosure of your significant conflict of interest, a Wikipedia article about your company's software would consist of a summary of significant coverage of the software from independent sources with a reputation for reliability.

  • Draft:Kenneth Cassar (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Dear Wikipedia Articles for Creation Reviewers,

I am writing to respectfully request a reconsideration of the recently declined draft biography for Kenneth Cassar, a Special Effects Supervisor. I understand the stringent notability criteria applied to biographical articles, and I aim to provide further context that may not have been fully appreciated in previous reviews.

Kenneth Cassar possesses over 35 years of continuous professional experience in the film industry, a career that has established him as the leading Special Effects Supervisor in Malta. His unique position in the Maltese film landscape is particularly significant given the island's prominent role as an international filming location.

Furthermore, Mr. Cassar's career is intrinsically linked to the pioneering history of special effects in Malta, initiated by his late father, Mario Cassar. Mario Cassar established special effects operations in Malta in the early 1970s, notably utilizing the unique horizon water tanks – facilities that have been globally recognized for their distinct features in filmmaking. Kenneth Cassar has built upon this foundational legacy, contributing directly to numerous international productions filmed in Malta and across Europe.

We believe that Mr. Cassar's extensive filmography, his specific awards and nominations (including a Robert Award nomination and his involvement in an Academy Award-winning crew for Tenet), and his unique position as a generational leader in a specialized field within a significant international filming hub, collectively demonstrate a level of notability that warrants inclusion on Wikipedia. His biography would not only document the career of a prominent industry professional but also contribute to the historical record of filmmaking in Malta.

While I acknowledge that articles are assessed individually, I respectfully submit that the historical context and Mr. Cassar's singular contributions to the development and execution of special effects in Malta, a key international filming destination, may elevate his profile beyond a typical industry professional.

I am prepared to provide any further documentation or clarification required to support this request. Thank you for your time and consideration in re-evaluating this submission.

Sincerely,

Kenneth Cassar (as the submitting user, if you are acting on your own behalf) Kenneth181976 (talk) 07:46, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not every band that exists merits a Wikipedia article. You have not shown that they meet at least one aspect of WP:BAND, which is why the draft was rejected.

I have no idea to answer the requests from reviewer, because the school which I tried to create a wiki page for doesn't have any website written in English. Would you tell me examples of desirable correction on the following indicated request from reviewer?

- in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements) - reliable - secondary - strictly independent of the subject Tamanawa parents (talk) 23:53, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sources do not need to be in English, as long as they are reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a place to just tell about a school and its offerings, it should summarize what independent reliable sources have chosen on their own to say about the school and what makes it a notable organization. Also see WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. 331dot (talk) 09:17, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Tamanawa parents. When you say "the school ... doesn't have any website written in English", it sounds as if you are believing that the school's website is useful for a Wikipedia article about it.

This is not true (or only peripherally)

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.

Hi, I’m requesting help regarding my draft article, Draft:Sondra_Sampson.

I included three obituary references that mention my name (as the daughter) to help confirm identity and background. However, I understand Wikipedia prefers independent sources about the subject. Before I remove them, I want to ask:

Is it acceptable to cite an obituary that confirms my name and family connection, even if it’s not directly about me? Or should I delete both entirely to meet notability guidelines?

I already have other published sources (The Robesonian, BookLife/Publishers Weekly) that are about my work. Thank you in advance for guidance. Momlumbee (talk) 12:40, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Obituaries are typically written by a family member, so they are a primary source.

Unless you merit an article yourself, I'm not sure in what context you seek to mention yourself in the draft. 331dot (talk) 13:34, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I wrote an article about a black female pioneer in the film industry that has been declined for publishing. I'm having trouble giving "enough" reference and citations because this person up until now hasn't been hugely known but there are many things written about her online.

The Smithsonian Museum has some of her things on display at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington. In my opinion, this constitutes someone of value enough to have a wikipedia page. I'm a bit confused and I am struggling with the process.

I've seen many wikipedia pages way less worthy than a genuine black female pioneer. 154.5.167.89 (talk) 15:33, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP. what is the title of the draft? S0091 (talk) 15:36, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, IP user.

What Wikipedia means by notability is rather different from the everyday meaning of the word, and mostly comes down to "enough information has been independently published about the subject in reliable publications to base an article on". This is because the intention of Wikipedia is that a reader can, at least in principle, verify any information in the article from publicly available sources.

Unfortunately, no matter how significant she may have been, "some of her things on display" does not establish, or (probably) even contribute to establishing notability. (I'm not sure whether labels on items in a museum would be regarded as "published": if they are, they are probably reliable, but they may or may not be secondary sources, and they will not often have significant coverage of the subject.)

Once somebody has researched her and had the resarch published by a publisher with a reputation for editorial control and fact checking, she might meet the criteria, but from what you have said, she does not at present. ColinFine (talk) 15:48, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• IP user, you offered as the title of your draft "having difficulty getting article approved" so it's difficult for us to give specific advice. 331dot (talk) 15:53, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draft:Alex Hormozi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello guys, this is my first Wikipedia draft I have submitted. It took me a while to add evidence to all statements in the draft which wasn’t originally written by myseld. It would be kind if someone could explain to me why the article can‘t be published. In my opinion, every information has a complete inline citation. Is it because of the use of some primary sources? Personally, I think it is very hard to find a secondary source about e.g. the birthday of a person. This could only be a birth certificate, couldn‘t it? Because all other secondary sources could only repeate the day a person said, and then why don’t use a primary source? I would appreciate if somebody could help me! :) It‘s the article „Draft:Alex Hormozi“. Nusscookie (talk) 18:34, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to being a secondary source, in order for a source to meet the notability criteria it also needs to be reliable, independent and have in-depth coverage about the person and multiple sources meeting the criteria are needed. You have no sources that meet all the criteria, therefore an article is not possible. S0091 (talk) 20:29, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I thought I have known that, but what makes a source reliable? Isn‘t it the most reliable if e.g. Alex Hormozi himself said something about his birthday? And independent means that the person isn‘t involved, got it. But an independent source can‘t have more information about someone if the somebody didn‘t said it, can‘t it? And what is defined as „in-depth“ coverage because one source could hardly cover all necessary information or is that needed? Sorry for all those questions but I really want to understand it. Thx. :) Nusscookie (talk) 08:50, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

People are not always honest about their own birthdays, especially in certain fields(like acting where it is often advantageous to appear to be younger than one actually is). In addition, the main purpose of Wikipedia is to summarize what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about the topic, not what someone says about themselves(which they are free to do on social media or their own website). 331dot (talk) 08:52, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thank you. I understand it. Could you give me an example of a reliable source of e.g. the birthday of a person? Nusscookie (talk) 09:11, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a specific source handy. It just needs to be reliable. Also consider whether it is a good idea to include the person's birthday at all- this would depend on how widely available it is. For privacy reasons a subject may not want their birthday public. 331dot (talk) 10:59, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That‘s a good point too. I will just delete it. Thank you! :) Nusscookie (talk) 11:05, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And I have one more question: The article about reliable sources said that it‘s sometimes okay to use primary sources. For example, can I use the Amazon or Spotify page to list books or podcasts of a certain person? Because these sources can‘t be „manipulated“ through the author. If there‘s a book on Amazon from somebody then that somebody has written that/a book. Or am I wrong and this is also prone to incorrect information? Nusscookie (talk) 10:53, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need sources merely to document the existence of a book. 331dot (talk) 10:55, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And also nor for the publishing year or ISBN? Nusscookie (talk) 10:59, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're writing about a person, not a book, so I would focus on writing about the person. 331dot (talk) 11:01, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok and what‘s about followers on YouTube or Instagram? It is possible to use the YouTube page here because the follower count doesn‘t lie. Nusscookie (talk) 11:07, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, editors. This draft I recently made was declined by an AfC reviewer who concluded that it did not meet WP:GNG.

I cited several sources listed on WP:KO/RS. These include The JoongAng Ilbo, Newsis, Newspim the Hankook Ilbo, and MBC. All of these sources are completely independent of the subject, and five of them are direct interviews which provide in-depth information with the subject.

Would it help if I added English rendering of the titles of said sources using |trans-title=? Or are foreign-language sources generally considered inferior in reliability in the enwiki? 00101984hjw (talk) 06:08, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@00101984hjw: interviews do not establish notability, because they are the subject talking (typically about themselves), which means they are not independent, and often not reliable either since they usually aren't subject to any fact-checking etc. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:58, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

what do you mean "contrary to the purpose of wikipedia" Poland44444444 (talk) 07:22, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Poland44444444: it means that this subject is not suitable for an encyclopaedia. There is also nothing in this draft to suggest that the subject is notable in any way. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:28, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

the draft speaks in-depth about a prestigious competition that is well-known all across Queensland, a state home to over 5 million people. That is very notable. I'm not sure if you have ever been to Queensland but it is extremely notable, that's why I'm writing about it, I am in no way connected to it Poland44444444 (talk) 07:36, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Poland44444444: whether or not I have ever been to QLD is irrelevant (and yes, I have), as is how "prestigious" or "well-known" etc. this competition is. None of these have anything to do with notability in the Wikipedia context.

It may be that an encyclopaedic article could be written on this subject, but it would need to be based on summary of what independent and reliable sources have said about it, and what in their view makes this competition noteworthy. Your draft cites no such source, and moreover is not based on any such source. Besides which, we don't want to see long lists of indiscriminate detail without any exposition of context or relevance, which is what the majority of this draft consists of. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:45, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i used multiple sources unless you wnat something like "according to {source} the qdu year 8 competition is............." in that case I can find one. and what "indiscriminate detail" do you speak of? If you mean the team lists those are crucial to the context of the article Poland44444444 (talk) 07:49, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Poland44444444, an acceptable Wikipedia article cites and summarizes what reliable published sources entirely independent of the topic say about the topic. Your draft contains no such references to reliable sources independent of this competition, and therefore the draft cannot be accepted in its current form. We are not interested in what the organizers of the competition say about their own competition. Cullen328 (talk) 08:17, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

so you want an independent source like a news article talking about it Poland44444444 (talk) 08:18, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple secondary, independent, and reliable sources talking about it in depth, yes. And everything below the first paragraph would have to be removed because it is indeed indiscriminate detail, contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia (please read What Wikipedia is not). --bonadea contributions talk 08:42, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As a general comment on the topic: you created a draft about one category in the annual contest. If the competition is as prestigious as you claim, it might be possible to create an article about it, but it's extremely unlikely that each individual category of the competition is independently notable. So the topic really is a non-starter, I'm afraid. --bonadea contributions talk 15:18, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draft:Staycation (TV series) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, and thank you in advance for your time.

I've submitted a draft article for Staycation (TV series), an unscripted lifestyle and travel series that has aired on local CBS affiliates and streaming platforms like Roku and Pluto TV. The show has received multiple regional Emmy Awards from the NATAS Pacific Southwest Chapter, and I've cited the official NATAS sources directly.

I’ve removed IMDb and press release-style sources based on earlier feedback, and I’ve worked to maintain a neutral, factual tone. I also included a quote from an independent Spanish-language article (Vallarta Opina) and (Noticias PV) that references one of the producers—these articles are not affiliated with the show and are authored by local journalists.

The show’s host, Robert Parks-Valletta, is a notable public figure actor and producer (Vanderpump Rules) with his own Wikipedia article. He has produced hundreds of episodes in lifestyle television and has received Emmy recognition in his own right.

At this stage, I’ve included the most verifiable, independent sources available. The remaining coverage that exists online is mostly in the form of press releases or brief mentions on social media, which I understand are not sufficient per Wikipedia’s reliability standards.

Could you please advise if the current sourcing meets the threshold for notability, or if there are specific improvements I should focus on before resubmitting?

Thank you again for your help and guidance. User972364 (talk) 10:10, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft is unlikely to be accepted, as it cites no independent reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a place for a company to tell about itself, its offerings, and what it considers to be its own history.

Thank you all for the feedback — I understand the importance of relying on independent, secondary sources and not press release services like Business Wire.

Hello, @Christn77.

Please understand that a Wikipedia article should be a neutral summary of what several people who are completely unconnected with the subject have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable publications, and very little else.

None of your current citations meet those requirements (see WP:42), so your draft has no chance of being accepted in its present form; and unless you can find several such sources, it has no chance of being accepted at all, as you will be unable to demonstrate that Wampler meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability.

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.

Hi there - I have tried multiple times to submit this article and have taken the feedback each time ie. removed some articles, added others and also have made sure the language does not sound like an advertisement. My sources are also credible. Can you please guide me on what I need to do to this draft in order to make it publishable? Thank you. Morcor44 (talk) 21:28, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You mainly need more/different sources to prove that DreamFlare is notable (WP:Notability). Having clear notability will speed along the acceptance process greatly. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 21:32, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that Reading Beans rejected my article for Andrew Donnelly. I come to say, there are NO news articles about the comedian. I did cite The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast, as he WAS a guest, I used IMDb, I used some external links, but they rejected me. Is this a common problem with drafts being rejected with NO news articles, or any reliable sources? WikiSlowskys (talk) 22:37, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Independent reliable sources are a must for articles, especially those about living people(see WP:BLP). IMDB is not a reliable source as it is user-generated with little editorial oversight. The person's own website is not an independent source. If there are no independent reliable sources about this person, they do not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. 331dot (talk) 10:03, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiSlowskys: To add to what 331dot says, interviews and podcast appearances also do not work because those are the subject being allowed to talk about themselves/their views at length. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 16:05, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well. I would like to kindly ask for your advice concerning a page dedicated to the short film, which was quite successful on the festival circuit. The film is titled 'I Died in Irpin'. It received an award at the prestigious Clermont-Ferrand festival. From what I understand, the article wasn't published due to insufficient references. Do you know, please, what my options are at this point?

Hi @Osa Higgins. Sources don't have to be online (although it's preferred), so if you are citing an offline source that has no online equivalent just provide as much bibliographic information as possible to allow a reader to find the source in a library or archive.

I can clearly understand the guidelines you posted, however I still am unable to understand what independent sources I can add regarding this specific topic. More than about a million people have registered in this specific server, and we can prove that, however according to this niche genre where minimum independent sources write about minecraft servers, I am unable to find a lot of citations except just voting affiliated third party independent linked websites. I need a clear guideline to this specific issue, and with all due respect do not require the same guidelines which tell me to add more sources, I understand that clearly however I think you get what I'm trying to say. Thank you. Help! TNTplayerTNT (talk) 15:38, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see many people come here to edit about their Minecraft servers, but the vast majority of them do not merit articles. We don't just need documentation that it exists or has a lot of members, we need independent reliable sources with significant coverage that show that the server is notable as Wikipedia uses the word. If you do not have such sources, the server does not merit an article.

If you just want to tell the world about the server, I might suggest a more Minecraft specific wiki, perhaps on Fandom. 331dot (talk) 15:47, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agreed. Sources matter a lot, but as I said, it is not about just this Minecraft Server, journalists/online news sources/etc do not post about minecraft servers in general, so I just wanted advices of want I can use as a replacement for this specific genre, that acts as a "reliable source", and is thoroughly available at the same time.

Note: I am a relatively new wikipedia editor, that is why I needed advices. TNTplayerTNT (talk) 15:50, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Much smaller topics can easily get coverage from independent sources, and it is mainly because of the topic. Just wanted to ask you since you would've seen multiple others try to create articles related to Minecraft here, what could be something I can do to make my article have more sources, in other words, what sources can I use? TNTplayerTNT (talk) 15:53, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TNTplayerTNT: The problem is that servers/Roblox games/private servers rarely, if ever, get enough coverage in the relevant press (in this case, video game media like Kotaku, IGN, Massively Overpowered, etc.) to even allow us to consider an article. It's also worth noting that coverage tends to be about controversies rather than the merits of the server, which would make for a poor article. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 15:57, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any source that has a reputation of fact checking and editorial control(i.e. they don't just publish stuff) can be used as a source. That's usually news outlets, but doesn't have to be. Please see WP:BACKWARD; you should have the sources in hand before you attempt to summarize them in an article, you shouldn't write your text and then look for sources to support it.

Our requirements do mean some topic areas do not get the needed sources, and need to be covered elsewhere. 331dot (talk) 15:58, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dm07891p Wikipedia uses "notability" as a test to see if a topic meets our criteria for inclusion, but our special definition of "notability" doesn't mean "famous" or "popular" or "well-known". Instead, take "notability" to mean "noted in multiple reliable published secondary sources". For more information about how we define notability, see the policy page Wikipedia:Notability. None of your sources show evidence that the company passes our notability test. The draft has now been rejected, which means it's the end of the road. qcne (talk) 19:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because it doesn't look like a draft for an encyclopedia article. Instead, it looks like a CV. A CV is not an encyclopedia article. -- Hoary (talk) 12:03, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gudavadze, 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.

Moreover, very few people have ever successfully written a Wikipedia article about themselves, so autobiography is very strongly discouraged. ColinFine (talk) 14:24, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draft:Gaurav Singh Chouhan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello respected editors,

I have submitted the draft Draft:Gaurav Singh Chouhan for review. The subject is a law student, motivational speaker, and self-published author of the Kindle book *A Journey Through Broken Dreams: Discovering The Soul Within*. His work was featured in Dainik Bhaskar (Noida edition, 9 July 2025 – page 15), and I have uploaded a fair-use scan of that newspaper reference here: https://en.wikipedia.orghttps://demo.azizisearch.com/lite/wikipedia/page/File:Gaurav_Singh_Chouhan_Dainik_Bhaskar_2025.jpg

Gaurav also has profiles on IMDb and Amazon Kindle, and continues contributing as a writer and content creator. I have done my best to follow all Wikipedia notability and sourcing guidelines.

Kindly review the draft and guide me on: 1. Whether it meets the criteria for approval 2. Any improvements required before resubmitting 3. Steps to proceed further

I truly appreciate your time and help. The subject and his supporters are hopeful for approval, and I will follow whatever suggestions you provide.

Thank you! Masterman087 (talk) 15:36, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Page Declined Hello! I’m affiliated with Jeeves (tryjeeves.com) and have drafted an article at User:Paololapi/Jeeves in full compliance with Wikipedia's conflict of interest (COI) and notability guidelines.

The article includes independent sources such as TechCrunch, G2, and Financial Services Review, and is written in neutral, non-promotional tone.

I understand past submissions may have raised flags, but this version is fully restructured and complies with sourcing and tone policies.

I'd greatly appreciate a manual review, or guidance on any final changes required before resubmission. Thank you!

Paololapi If you have a COI, you should disclose this on your user page, see WP:COI. IF you are employed by Jeeves, fhe Terms of Use require you to make a formal paid editing disclosure.

You may resubmit the draft at your leisure; all reviews are "manual". I would say that if you were to submit it, it would be declined quickly. Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell about themselves, their offerings, and what they consider to be their own history. 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. Staff interviews, press releases, and the reporting of routine business activities like raising funds does not establish notability. See WP:ORGDEPTH. 331dot (talk) 16:33, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Awards do not contribute to notability unless the awards themselves merit articles(like Nobel Peace Prize or Academy Award), so the nonnotable awards should just be removed. The whole thing reads like a resume, not an encyclopedia article. You actually have too many references; fewer high quality references are preferred to a large number of low quality sources. The draft should not merely list their work and accomplishments, but what independent sources say makes those things important. 331dot (talk) 17:31, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @WikiHelper3906. 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.

  • Draft:Sanjib Bhattacharjee (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This is my first time writing a Wikipedia article, and I’ve approached the process with genuine interest and good faith. From the beginning, I’ve carefully followed the advice provided by multiple reviewers — including removing LinkedIn references (which I had initially included after seeing them used in other articles), improving tone and structure, and relying solely on reliable third-party sources.

I’ve also shortened the draft significantly and made further edits to ensure a neutral, encyclopedic tone throughout. The current version is more concise than before, with unsupported or unnecessary content removed.

Although I initially included citations from Metro — a UK national publication that attributed expert advice to Mr Bhattacharjee — I have since removed those references as well, following concerns raised about its reliability in this context. I made these changes in good faith, even though the article presented verifiable, factual information.

This draft has already gone through several rounds of review and scrutiny by different editors, many of whom offered constructive suggestions that I’ve implemented. Notability was never raised as a concern until now, which makes the current objection feel inconsistent and discouraging.

If there are any remaining sentences in the draft that lack proper references, I’d be grateful for your guidance so I can revise or remove them. I remain open to feedback and committed to aligning the article with Wikipedia’s expectations.

If consensus is that the topic is not suitable for Wikipedia, I will respect that decision — though I do wish this had been clarified earlier, as it would have saved considerable time and effort.

Thank you again for your time and support. Flyhigh223! (talk) 21:14, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Different reviewers see different things, or have other concerns besides notability. 331dot (talk) 21:44, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello wikipedians, My draft Draft:Gul-e-Bakavali (1924 film) was rejected with the standard template stating that the references do not show significant coverage, but I believe this is a mistake.
The draft includes extensive non-trivial coverage from BioScope (peer-reviewed), A. Rajadhyaksha, Rosie Thomas, and Debashree Mukherjee, all of whom discussed the film's national impact, unique archival value, and historical legacy. Notability is clearly supported per WP:NFILM
Could anyone take a second look or clarify what more might be needed ?

@EKMiou: I'm glad to see you've changed your username, saves me from having to block you.

I've deleted your draft Draft:Michell Wool Pty Ltd, which was purely promotional. There was also no evidence that the subject is notable, which is a core requirement for inclusion in the encyclopaedia. (The vast majority of world's businesses aren't notable, so in that sense there is nothing unusual about this, in case that's any consolation.)

I also posted a paid-editing-query on your user page, please respond to it ASAP.

As to your question, in theory you could post an article creation request at Requested articles. However, editors usually edit on topics in which they have an interest, and unless by some miraculous coincidence your request is seen by someone with an interest in Michell Wool Pty Ltd, your request will just sit there gathering dust; hence, "in theory".

But now that you've indicated your interest in having an article created, you may well be contacted by someone, possibly pretending to be an AfC reviewer or even a Wikipedia administrator, offering to do this for you... naturally, for a fee. See WP:SCAM for more on this. It is obviously your call what you do with your money, but be aware that no one can guarantee an article is published, and more to the point remains published, so you could end up out of pocket and still with no article. My advice would therefore be completely to disregard any such offers and solicitations. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:25, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

EKMiou Wikipedia does not have "pages" for companies, it has articles about certain topics, including companies that meet the criteria. The vast majority of companies do not. My advice is that you forget about Wikipedia and go on about the work of your company, allowing an article to develop the usual way- when an independent editor takes note of significant coverage in independent reliable sources and decides to summarize it; articles are not a place for companies to tell about themselves, their offerings, and what they consider to be their own history of activities.

Also know that there are good reasons to not want an article about your company. 331dot (talk) 07:31, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for neutral editor to review and submit "Shervin Zakeri" draft Hello,

I’m requesting a review of a draft Wikipedia article about Shervin Zakeri, an Iranian mathematician, computer scientist, and decision scientist. He is the co-founder and CEO of Obxerver Tech SaRL, a Swiss startup focused on ESG and AI-based decision-support systems.

Dr. Zakeri has authored peer-reviewed research in journals such as Scientific Reports, IEEE Access, and Expert Systems with Applications. He has received awards and fellowships from Innosuisse, the Swiss National Science Foundation, and the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship Program.

I have a complete, neutral, and well-sourced draft prepared, with inline citations, references to media coverage, and reliable secondary sources. However, since I have a conflict of interest (COI), I am not creating the article myself.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Shervinzakeri (talk) 10:21, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
