Draft:Ilkacase Qays
| Submission declined on 7 November 2024 by JBW (talk). A quick look at the references in the draft indicates that Ilkacase Qays seems to be notable enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. However, this draft needs more work before becoming an article, because it is not written from a neutral point of view, as required by Wikipedia policy. Reading this draft it is clear that it is written by someone with a good opinion of Ilkacase Qays, but it should be impossible to tell from reading an article whether whoever wrote it has a good opinion, a bad opinion, or no opinion at all about the subject of the article.

| Submission declined on 7 November 2024 by Qcne (talk). 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 music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. Declined by Qcne 47 days ago. | |
