[edit]10:59, 9 December 2024 review of submission by 62.224.56.173
[edit]Please let me know why my page was rejected and what might be helpful to get published on Wikipedia? Thank you. 62.224.56.173 (talk) 10:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- This draft was rejected because there is nothing to indicate that the person is notable under any of our notability standards. There isn't anything that could be done to get it published. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:17, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
11:39, 9 December 2024 review of submission by Mishal Mehmood
[edit]can you specify why the article was rejected ?
Mishal Mehmood (talk) 11:39, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- The draft was declined, not rejected, which means you can resubmit it once you improve it and address the problems the reviewer noted. As DoubleGrazing pointed out, the sources currently in the draft do not adequately demonstrate that the subject is notable per WP:NPROF. Additional reliable sources will have to be added to establish this notability before you resubmit or it will be declined again. cyberdog958Talk 12:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello,
The submission for a page for Canadian True Crime podcast keeps getting declined. We have added as many credible sources that we have. What further sources is Wikipedia looking for?
Thanks. LindsayCTC (talk) 14:34, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @LindsayCTC, there was a warning left on your user talk page about managing a conflict of interest. Please review that and kindly make the necessary declarations on your user page. As far as the draft article, it needs to show that it is WP:Notable, that is, is has coverage from secondary, independent sources but presently your draft is written very promotionally and with a lot of external links. While the awards are nice, there needs to be in depth coverage of the things you have written about in the draft. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:55, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- A Wikipedia article should be a summary of what independent commentators have published (in reliable sources) about the subject - that and almost nothing else. What you know, think, or believe, about the subject is irrelevant, and should play no part in creating the article, except where it is corroborated by independent published sources. This is especially the case if you are connected with the subject. ColinFine (talk) 16:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

How can I change the name of my draft? It is Charles Milliard... not Charles Millaird. ZachRivard72 (talk) 17:34, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- @ZachRivard72: page titles can't be changed, as such; this is effected by moving the page.
- However, your draft is in French, whereas this is the English-language Wikipedia, so I'd say you have bigger 'issues' than the page title? :) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
17:39, 9 December 2024 review of submission by 2405:DA40:35DB:5600:ADE3:5203:6493:3FE0
[edit]what kind of reference are you after? how many do I have to have? 2405:DA40:35DB:5600:ADE3:5203:6493:3FE0 (talk) 17:39, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- For notability, we need to see three or more independent and reliable secondary sources that have provided significant coverage of the subject.
- For verification, we need to see as many sources and citations as is necessary to adequately support the information in the draft. These must be cited inline.
- Currently this draft has one source, which does not meet any of these requirements. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:42, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

19:40, 9 December 2024 review of submission by Kgbalint
[edit]I would like to know, what was the problem specifically. I would really love to create this article, and I want to know what should I improve about my draft. Kgbalint (talk) 19:40, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- You have not shown that this band meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable band. This may be different than the German Wikipedia, as each version of Wikipedia has its own policies. 331dot (talk) 19:52, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I have already used 90% of professional terms and a large number of references. Why am I not being approved? Nichooas li (talk) 22:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Because you have not understood what a Wikipedia article is. This is a common problem for people who try to create an article before spending time learning how Wikipedia works.
- My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft.
- No Wikipedia article should ever present arguments or conclusions, except when it is summarising an argument or conclusion from one single cited source. original research is not permitted. ColinFine (talk) 23:10, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Nichooas li, that is not an encyclopedia article. It is an essay. Cullen328 (talk) 08:43, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
