Your submission at Articles for creation: Demola Banjo (July 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by InterstellarGamer12321 was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is a WP:BLP article, so all statements and claims should be backed up with inline citations to reliable sources. The Personal Life section is currently completely unreferenced, and inline citations are lacking in other areas of the article. Reliable sources should be added and unverifiable information should be removed. Additionally, the WP:External links in the body of the article should be converted to inline citations or removed.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Demola Banjo (July 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Drmies was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Lack of secondary sourcing, and what valid content there might be is obscured by the obvious promotional fluff.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ola Oresanya (July 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Princess of Ara was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Oresanya is notable as a commissioner in Ogun state but the neutrality of this submission is disputed. The image also does not have the appropriate permission and should be removed.

Princess of Ara 15:15, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review princess Ara.

I have edited the article to make it neutral. This change makes the article more objective and less exaggerated. I have also removed peacock words found. All the reference links cited are credible and reliable sources in Nigeria and others are government websites. Semilore90 (talk) 19:17, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Semilore90. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Ola Oresanya, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:07, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

I don't have any personal relationship with Ola Oresanya. Neither am I paid to publish this article.

I declared COI for the article i was paid on my User page, Which is Demola Banjo and it's not for Ola Oresanya.

I have tried as much as possible to comply with all Wikipedia rules with regards to the article creation for a living person Semilore90 (talk) 12:22, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article is written in a Promotional tone and certainly does pass our WP:GNG, being a commissioner does not confer WP:N per WP:NPOL.

Thanks for your review @Jamiebuba

I have made some corrections to the article and also requested for help through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IRC_help_disclaimer. Some people there were kind enough to make some corrections and other suggestions.

The following changes have been made to the article to improve its neutrality:

The promotional tone of the article has been removed.

The article now presents a more balanced view of Oresanya's career, including both his successes and his challenges.

The article now uses more neutral language, avoiding subjective statements and opinions.

Thanks. I have asked for help on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IRC_help_disclaimer severally and many experts there have helped to review the article and even made some edits to the article, but you still rejected it.

Please kindly suggest what i can to improve the article. I will really appreciate your kind response

Your submission at Articles for creation: Oladimeji Oresanya (August 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Greenman was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Promotional. For example, the statement "during his tenure, the Lagos Waste Forum promoted sustainable waste management practices and created awareness about environmental issues" reads as if from a resume, and it's stretching the interpretation of the given source.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Oladimeji Oresanya and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Greenman (talk) 07:21, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have redirected this to the earlier, rejected draft. Please do not create duplicates. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:46, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the previous Draft was rejected after submission, which means I cant resubmit it again for review after making some changes and added more references to the article.

That is why I created a new article and resubmitted after many some corrections to it.

The policy does not forbid me from submitting another article if the first one is rejected right? Especially after making significant changes to the article.

Please I stand to be corrected if I am wrong. Do i need to delete the previous draft that was rejected before creating a new one? Semilore90 (talk) 15:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Significant changes or not, the first draft was rejected for lack of notability, which means the sources cited do not satisfy the WP:GNG standard. The same 32 references were used in the second draft, so in that respect there were no changes. And no, you cannot keep creating more copies of what is essentially the same draft, that can be regarded as an attempt to game the system. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:48, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am nit trying to game the system.

The mistake was that after the draft was rejected, I kept editing the rejected draft by adding more reference links to it before creating a new draft. Since it was rejected and i can't re-submit it for review, I didn't know it would still be referred to. That's is why the old draft and new one looked exactly the same.

That was my mistake. Can I delete the old draft? Semilore90 (talk) 16:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August 2023

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Semilore90, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Semilore90|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Can you please explain why you are so keen to create an article on Ola(dimeji) Oresanya? Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:48, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not being directly or indirectly compensated to create this article. I declared that while creating the draft. Ola Oresanya is a highly respected Environmentalist in Nigeria with over 30 years of working and consulting for governments in Nigeria. I feel he deserves a Wikipedia article, this is not to promote him or his achievements.

I have read many wikipedia pages, i have contributed and edited many wiki pages and I also read through the criteria for creating a wikipedia page for a living person and he meets many of the checklists.

My desire is to improve as an editor and contributor wo wikipedia page, this is the reason why I am interested in successfully publishing this article. I have spent several days doing research and creating this article, i don't want all the efforts to go to waste.

My greatest joy is to improve as an editor and contributor to Wikipedia. Semilore90 (talk) 15:36, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
