[edit]

My article has been rejected for notability, what do I have to, therefore, include to change this? Is it just more information from more sources?

LivSav19 (talk) 12:32, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@LivSav19: - notability declining normally requires adding in high quality secondary sources (newspapers, books etc), but this draft was rejected as the reviewer felt it unlikely that sufficient sourcing was possible to acquire. While it's possible that they're wrong, that did seem likely to be the case (at least at this time) Nosebagbear (talk) 10:40, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand why this page, for a fully verified poet is seen as 'not notable'. How do i build on this page to make it become 'noteable'? LivSav19 (talk) 14:07, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

LivSav19 Articles on Wikipedia must be adequately supported by independent reliable sources so that information can be verified. YouTube and Instagram are not reliable sources.

Her own website is also not a reliable source for establishing notability. We only summarise what reliable, independent published sources have to say about a subject. If there are no such sources then we cannot have an article. Theroadislong (talk) 14:11, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I created a stub article for the Spanish painter Virgilio Mattoni. It was rejected with the reason stated as insufficient qualified references. An article about Virgilio Mattoni exists on the Spanish Wikipedia. I was trying to follow the directions given to request a translated article for English Wikipedia. In my stub article I referenced four of the main sources used for the Spanish Wikipedia article so I am at a loss as to why my stub article was rejected because of the references cited. I have found an extensive article about him written as a Lot essay by Christie's Auction House which sold his most famous work, "The Baths of Caracalla" for over $250,000. I will add it as my main reference and try to support it with other English language references.

I'm beginner here. I wanted to create articles of footballers. But it's been too hard for me to do so. I'm not English native to understand what Wikipedia is telling me to do to verify. Please help! I wrote an article and I want simple guide to create it.

Hello SamieJr10. If English is not your first language, you may find it easier to contribute to a different language version of Wikipedia, such as አማርኛ. See meta:List of Wikipedias for a complete list of choices. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:22, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please give me more detailed information on why the article Draft:Zava might not meet WP:NORG. This website has been covered at major media in Germany, the UK, Austria, Switzerland and France and has a substantial book coverage. The subject also has a German Wikipedia article. Please also tell what could/should be improved at this article. Disclosure: Draft:Zava is a properly declared COI contribution. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:56, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
