@KingTheD: you need to show that this person is notable according to at least one of the guidelines. Not only that, you also must show that he is noteworthy; show us some reason why he should be included in a global encyclopaedia, because at the moment the draft describes a Mr Everyman, IMO. Wikipedia is not a biographical database where the mere existence is enough to warrant inclusion. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 04:55, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please could anyone help me with this? I received the feedback: "Please remove the external links from the body" and the submission was declined because of this. Which part of the body section should I remove the links from? Is it the very first section at the top of the page? Thank you HollyNaylor (talk) 01:53, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hiii! I am in the process of creating a Wikipedia page for a friend who is a film director, and there's an upcoming project in the works. I've included all the essential links to establish his notability, including his IMDb page for one of his films. Your assistance in publishing the page would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help! TheTinySpeck (talk) 06:32, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TheTinySpeck: the first thing you need to do is declare your conflict of interest (COI), given that you're writing about an acquaintance of yours.
After that, please review relevant notability guidelines, at least WP:GNG and WP:NDIRECTOR. You need to show that the subject meets one or both of these. Notability is established by sources, and you currently only cite one source, IMDb, which is not considered reliable, and therefore adds nothing to either notability or even basic verifiability.
You also need to remove all the inline external links from the draft, as these are not allowed. You can convert them to citations where relevant.
Aman2936 I fixed your link(it was missing the "Draft:") The reason for the decline was left by the reviewer. Do you have a question about it specifically?
@Pakistan7246: find 3-5 sources that meet the WP:GNG standard (= reliable and independent secondary sources with significant coverage of the subject), and summarise what they have said; then cite each source against the information it has provided. This way you should end up with no more than a couple of citations against any one statement, while ensuring that every material statement is cited. There really is no reason why a statement like "Its first kalam featured Faysal Qureshi along with Waseem Badami & Farhan Ali Waris in a special appearance" would need 17 citations against it. Take out all the flaky sources, leave only the strongest ones that are also solid enough to establish notability. Job's a good 'un. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:21, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Pakistan7246: I don't know how many you need, depends on the content. You need 3+ sources to establish notability per WP:GNG. You need a citation or at most two to support each material statement and anything potentially contentious. Beyond that, it's one of those 'how long is a piece of string' questions. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:37, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, @Pakistan7246, don't give poor advice. You don't need more references you need quality references. A few reliable, independent, secondary references are far better than 20 poor quality ones. Qcne(talk)13:56, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On thing is that the last few references are just URLs. You should add a title, the date, the publisher, and the author of the article if you can find it. KingTheD (talk) 23:57, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand the reason given for rejection.
"This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified."
Please look at the submitted draft for Charles Robert O'Dell and advise me how to correct the draft. 5txzk (talk) 14:43, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, please help me understand why my article submission has been declined. Sermon is a critically acclaimed new band which tours across Europe and North America, and they have released two albums already, both of which have received press coverage (and rave reviews) from music review outlets. I believe they do deserve a page of their own due to their contributions to heavy music.
(I do apologize if I have broken Wikipedia rules with my submission, I am truly new to this process.) Siddsantham (talk) 14:52, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Siddsantham: this draft was declined (and BTW, I've restored the earlier decline template, as this must stay with the draft until it is accepted) for failing to show notability: the sources are insufficient to meet the WP:GNG standard, and there is no evidence that the band is notable per WP:BAND, either. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:46, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone help me?
I've been working on this page for months, but I always get rejected. It's not right! I love wikipedia, and I trust that I support it very much, quietly, but I support it.
I would like to create other pages, but if they don't accept me on this one, I think I'll throw in the towel.
It's not fair because there are pages accepted without funds, why? Cinefilm (talk) 14:55, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Cinefilm: this draft has been declined five times for lack of evidence for notability; that probably tells us that the subject simply is not notable enough to warrant inclusion. In addition, the referencing is inadquate, as it lacks inline citations.
@Stuoop1dstoodant124342: schools need to demonstrate notability, which means citing multiple independent and reliable secondary sources that have covered them in significant extent. In practice, most schools would fail this test. (Note that many school articles do exist, but they mostly predate this notability requirement.) If the school isn't independently notable, then usually the title would be redirected to an article on the school district or similar higher-level unit. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:36, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If that is all the references that you have, this company does not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. Two of your references are to the company website, and the other is an annoucement of a location opening. You must instead summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about this company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. 331dot (talk) 19:42, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Followed link to non-existent article from indirect procurement was prompted to create article. Created basic article. Was reverted to draft for not having the right citations. Added citations and was quickly rejected again. Now, asking for help with this article or to have link removed. Rusty5231B (talk) 20:14, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Rusty5231B. I think the topic might work as an article, but you've gone about it the wrong way. You've created an overview of this topic and then provided loads of sources and examples that seem fairly irrelevant to the actual topic. Instead, find a few sources that define, discuss, and analyse the topic and then paraphrase them in your own words. That should make up the content of your draft. I imagine it'll only need to be a few paragraphs long. Hope that helps. Qcne(talk)16:15, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Rusty5231B, that's certainly better. However still not quite there. We don't have Conclusion sections on Wikipedia articles like this- just merge the text into the main body. You're also missing a References heading. Remove all the bolding in the body of the text too.
My biggest issue is that the two sources you provide define tertiary sectors, not "Goods and services not related to manufacturing" - the two sources don't even seem to mention it. You need a source that actually defines what its meant by "Goods and services not related to manufacturing" and provides a bit of discussion. Qcne(talk)13:28, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All of your sources are associated with this show. This article must summarize what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about it. For shows, that usually means reviews by professional reviewers. 331dot (talk) 20:24, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
