My initial request to add a page for The Rising Pints (band) was rejected due to inadequate citation so added a different one that should be acceptable. I want to make sure that my request is resubmitted for review. Thanks!

Hi Aventineavenue. Draft:The Rising Pints is not currently submitted for review. To submit it, click the blue Resubmit button within the large pink box at the top of the draft.

Before you do that, however, add more and better sources. The AllMusic review is a start, but at under 100 words is mighty short. The review in Avenues likely won't count when evaluating notability because it seems to be authored by a linguistics professor rather than a professional music critic, and the publication is of limited interest and circulation, with no clear reputation for accuracy and fact checking. (For a start, did they misspelled the reviewer's first name?) Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage of their topic. The draft cites at most one, and that's being charitable about depth. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:04, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I tried to include a bio of the woman who invented the Boppy pillow for babies but was told she wasn't important enough for inclusion. I gave up but my blood boiled. How can the inventor of the world's most beloved baby pillow not be important enough to mention? Furthermore, the rejection came from someone ostensibly on the project to foster women. If someone could help me get this published--plus I need help connecting the references to the text. Thanks for your help. Lane Hastings

Lane Hastings You must offer signficant coverage of Susan Henderson that is found in independent reliable sources that have chosen on their own to write about her, and not based on any materials put out by her or her associates(like interviews, press releases, basic announcements, a company website, etc.). The sources you offered include a press release, an interview with the company marketing director(her associate), a piece about the company that does not mention Henderson at all, and another interview. It is also possible that the pillow merits an article but not its inventor(who could be discussed in an article about the pillow she invented), see WP:BLP1E. 331dot (talk) 16:16, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I decided to create a page for an artist on a label I enjoy, Stones Throw. I included a multitude of references (24). Many of her male counterparts on the label have their own pages, with far fewer references (7-8), yet I have recieved a rejection with the following words:

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).

Most of the articles are about the artist herself, and definitely not passing mentions, either from her record label or music and lifestyle publications. Kindly let me know what I would need to fix?

Thank you!

Draft has been greatly updated. Please review.

Lamona (talk) 17:31, 1 January 2022 (UTC) I got the Opera folks involved and there are now 38 references, and the article has more information about his music. Please send this one out to the world! Thank you, Lamona (talk) 17:31, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cdasbd (talk) 17:36, 1 January 2022 (UTC) I think my article contained all the necessary information and had enough reference links even I deserve a Wikipedia page, but would you please tell me why it was rejected?[reply]

Cdasbd Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. Please read the autobiography policy. As the reviewer noted, your sources were neither independent or reliable. 331dot (talk) 18:21, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why some of the pages I tried to create were declined, such as Draft:Nicolas Bergeron and Draft:Tsachik Gelander. It seems to me they offer at least as much coverage as many other, already existing pages of mathematicians, such as: Uzi Vishne, Shahar Mozes, Boaz Barak and many others.
