Hey. It seems like your article doesn't meet at the requirements to be an actual published article. You are missing: Referencable sources. You need references and citable sources in your article.

[edit]

I am not sure if the article for “Kieran Howe” has been properly submitted for review or not. I can’t see it on the list of articles submitted for review. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kieran_Howe MyNameIsGeorgeHale (talk) 01:09, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I am not able to use the Move action to change the title of the article to "Southern Lights (sculpture)" How to rename the title? 2603:8000:A4F0:9A00:8F1C:1D8A:2ECB:4557 (talk) 05:31, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a note of that in the draft. There's no need to move this yet, since it will have to be moved in any case, if/when the draft is accepted. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:47, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me in making this page, I am not able to understand what mistake I am doing so please correct my mistake 2409:40E2:1021:3933:6359:AC25:5F3E:524D (talk) 07:48, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you think it's time to give this a rest? This is at least the fourth title where it has been attempted, and always failed, to create the article. The subject is clearly not notable.
Also, note that when you're blocked, you are not allowed to edit even logged-out. The block applies to you as a person, not just to your user account. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:59, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:09, 24 November 2024 review of submission by Prince Folorunsho Adegoke

[edit]

Thank you for your response. Please check, I think it meets one of the eight academic-specific criteria because the subject is the immediate past Deputy Vice Chancellor of Redeemer's University and her successor, Ahmed Yerima has an article on Wikipedia which I used as a sample to make her article better. Kindly refer to Editors who can also assist in addressing the issues in the article. PFA (talk) 08:09, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Prince Folorunsho Adegoke: being deputy V-C does not satisfy WP:NACADEMIC #6, if that's what you mean; they would need to be the actual V-C for that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:34, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ariticle draft rejected my draft for an article was rejected for copyright i believe but i wanna know 100% why i dont think i did anything wrong. Idk17272727 (talk) 10:50, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Idk17272727 I fixed your post to provide a link to your draft as intended. You were given a clear reason for the rejection at the top of your draft. We also already have an article about Christmas which details its history. 331dot (talk) 10:58, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

13:18, 24 November 2024 review of submission by Sebdocs

[edit]

What is the reason behind this? Sebdocs (talk) 13:18, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a social media platform. This isn't the place for you to be posting a profile of yourself. I placed a warning on your user talk page regarding the creation of autobiographies. Even if it is not an autobiography, you failed to provide any references of any kind to support the notability of "Seb Doherty". Wikipedia does not accept unreferenced drafts. If you can find reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject, then include them and there might be a chance of the draft being accepted. Otherwise, no. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:22, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:29, 24 November 2024 review of submission by HKFighter

[edit]

Hi, I wish to resubmit this draft but cannot find the submission button. HKFighter (talk) 14:29, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @HKFighter, that's odd. I've submitted it for review for you. @DoubleGrazing any idea what happened to the re-submission button? qcne (talk) 14:39, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like HKFighter accidentally replaced the Articles for Creation decline templates with the notices from their user talk page. I restored the previous declines – goodness knows the template code is not easy to read if you don't know what it is supposed to look like, and my guess is that HKFighter thought it was the same notice without realising that the talk page version actully looks rather different. --bonadea contributions talk 16:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

15:35, 24 November 2024 review of submission by Arota1612

[edit]

Hello

My article has been refused for not reliable sources but there are books and official media. Can you help me by telling which sources are a problem for you and those who are not so I can finish a good article? I checked other music producer pages and there are very similar Thank you for your kind help Regards Arota1612 (talk) 15:35, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Arota1612. The quality of your references is vastly more important than their quantity. Three or four excellent references are far better than dozens of mediocre sources. Most of your references seem to be passing mentions, interviews or event listings. Your draft also has problems with language violating the Neutral point of view policy. One example is An eclectic music-lover from an early age, Lyon found his vocation to music production by flipping over the album covers he loved, followed by unnecessary name dropping. As for articles about other music producers, please name them. Perhaps some of those articles need to be deleted. Cullen328 (talk) 00:53, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. Made the modifications accordingly. Hope it is good now. Best Arota1612 (talk) 10:10, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arota1612 It's mandatory that biographic articles have in-line citations for every fact, starting with the date of birth. I notice the top half of the draft has no citations whatsoever: readers therefore cannot verify the information is true. I've declined it for now on that basis: please do re-submit once you've either got citations or removed the uncited paragraphs. qcne (talk) 10:13, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

15:49, 24 November 2024 review of submission by Jag612red

[edit]

I want to know which sources are primary sources so I can change them. I know not all of them are primary. I can easily fix it so my article can get published. Some of them are secondary so I am confused about which is which. Thank you. Draft:Qubein Center Jag612red (talk) 15:49, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only one which even might be secondary is no 9, which won't display in my region. Almost all of them are published by the university or the architects, and so are not independent. 13 might be independent, but from what I saw before it threw up the paywall, it looked as if it was regurgitating a Press release, and so is also not independent. And Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and should almost never be cited.
Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources. ColinFine (talk) 21:50, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Am I allowed to use at least one primary source or do they all secondary sources and will this mean I will have to redo my wiki page. Jag612red (talk) 03:08, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. The purpose of a citation is to allow a user to verify some information about the subject in the article: nothing else. As long as most of the information comes from secondary sources, a small amount of uncontroversial factual information may be cited to primary sources ColinFine (talk) 11:11, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also can I shorten the article because I've seen other articles related to my topic with little to no references and still get it published and I'd also like to know if the city newspaper is primary or secondary because 9 and 13 are news articles with sources in them but one is somehow secondary and the other isn't. Im new to Wikipedia and I just want to clear it up because the Millis Athletic Convocation Center uses primary sources as well and I just want my article to be published Jag612red (talk) 03:17, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Jag612red, please list here the other articles related to my topic with little to no references and still get it published. Maybe some or all of those articles need to be improved or deleted. Cullen328 (talk) 05:20, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"The city newspaper" is not primary or secondary: it depends on what it publishes. If it publishes an article which is clearly a regurgitation of a press release, that is primary. If it publishes an interview with the subject, with little commentary, that is primary. If it publishes an article by a named journalist, who is clearly not simply repeating what the subject says, but has done their own investigation and written a commentary, it is secondary. And there can be many intermediate possibilities. ColinFine (talk) 11:15, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

16:08, 24 November 2024 review of submission by Unknownkidman

[edit]

I think that theses YouTubers need more clout on there name give them a chance Unknownkidman (talk) 16:08, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have no interest in giving people clout; we summarize what independent reliable sources say about people that meet our criteria. "YouTubers" are not inherently notable. 331dot (talk) 16:34, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unknownkidman, your style of writing is completely inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Our Manual of Style says Editors should write articles using straightforward, succinct, easily understood language. I can barely understand what you have written.

18:02, 24 November 2024 review of submission by Mahreen1212

[edit]

Hi - Why was the updated submission rejected on the following basis " not adequately supported by reliable sources". Every source was independent and government/informative. Does it need to be longer? Mahreen1212 (talk) 18:02, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mahreen1212: Government sources are considered primary sources; we're looking for secondary sources (newspapers, scholarly books, etc.). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help clean up and write this draft GenesisGSE (talk) 21:16, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We're not here to be co-editors. The draft has been rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. It's the end of the line. 331dot (talk) 21:22, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
