I have submitted my draft but there is always some query regarding not adequately supported by reliable sources. I ask your precious help please. Please realize that many documents and informations are original and personal of the subject of the draft and is very difficult to see in the website whereas the information and the letter of commendation are very important to plan the draf page. Thank you very much. All the Best Trafalgar54 (talk) 10:38, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A Wikipedia article should be based completely on published sources. Unpublished material can never be cited, and nor can information which is validated only by unpublished material. ColinFine (talk) 16:10, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, according with the band, i'm going to create pages for every single they made. I started with the one mentioned above but the submission was declined maybe for not enough references?. Please can you suggest me what can i do to make the right articles? is my first work in wikipedia... thank you very much in advance Alessio Siralex1973 (talk) 10:51, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Siralex. If you were starting to learn engineering, would you make your first project to build a car from scratch? If you took up a musical instrument, would you arrange a public recital as the first thing you did? No, you would practise on less demanding projects while you learnt the craft.
I would very strongly advise you that you will save yourself a great deal of frustration and disappointment if you forget about creating a new article for several months, while you gradually learn about how Wikipedia works (and most particularly about Verifiability, reliable sources, and Neutral point of view) by making improvements to some of our six million existing articles..

If you do this, then by the time you try creating articles, you will know that creating an article begins with finding

independent reliable sources that cover the subject in depth, and that if you can't find enough, your quest for that particular article ends there. ColinFine (talk) 16:14, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

And nor are Wiki pages a reliable source.

And interviews, even if they are published in a reliable source, are not

independent, and do cont contribute to establishing notability

.

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.

Well, the article is actually just a translated version of an bulgarian wiki article, that is already live from couple of months.

@

WP:GNG one. And you need to support the information comprehensively with inline citations to reliable published sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

So i would have to find reliable secondary sources, that are different from the choir's website for example. Or the biography of the person in the Academy of arts. Can you give me an example for such sources, I don't seem to understand from the given info in the wp:gng section in wiki. Would all this be enough for the article to get approved? Skimliii (talk) 08:10, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skimliii there are two separate issues here:

1. Notability: you need to cite sources that satisfy the GNG standard, namely multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the subject, that have provided significant coverage of the subject directly. Without demonstrating notability it isn't possible for this draft to be accepted for publication.
2. Verifiability: you also need to support every material statement, anything potentially contentious, and all private personal details with an inline citation to a reliable published source, so that the information can be verified. So for example, when the draft states that she obtained a degree from the Plovdiv Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts, we need to know where that info came from. Anything that cannot be appropriately referenced should be removed.

HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:27, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So if I cite all the awards she receved, contributions she has in the bulgarian choral art, degree from both AMDFA and Westminster choir college, would that make her notable? I know, that for a person to be notable in gng, he/she must have Awards and Recognitions, Impact or Influence on the field they work on. If I somehow succeed in finding and verifying all that information with the proper inline citations and sources, would that be enough? Skimliii (talk) 08:38, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only if the awards are notable, ie. they have their own Wikipedia article. Theroadislong (talk) 09:02, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are the awards considered notable if they have mentions in the national radio? Or news? Can i cite the pages of the festivals where she earned those? They are considered a big deal in our country. Skimliii (talk) 09:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! I think I managed to improve the article, if possible can you see it and tell me if I did a good job with it? I added every reliable source information I could get my hands at, including some scientific papers, radio articles, degree proof from a reliable source and fixed the inline external links from the body text.

  • Draft:John Maxwell Bailey (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, I have submitted a biographical entry for John Maxwell Bailey who was an important member of the team working at CERN on Muon storage rings from 1964 onwards. This was initially rejected as lacking references but I have now put in some major academic references. There has been much recent coverage of Muon research in the press so publishing this biographical page which summarizes all the early work by the leading expert on Moun storage rings will be very timely. However the paper has just been returned again as still lacking references. Is this insufficient evidence of the academic work, or of something else such as JM Bailey's place of birth (Australia)? JM Bailey's personal details can be verified from the end of this year (2024) via on online link to the Queen's College Record which will publish his obituary in the end-of-year issue (Notable former students), would this be helpful? Clearly that is over six months away and we do not want this page to become dormant. Please can you advise how to provide the information that is required?

Hello, I have just seen that this is a place where I can ask for help. I have submitted a biographical entry for John Maxwell Bailey who was an important member of the team working at CERN on Muon storage rings from 1964 onwards. In this article following initial refusal on the valid grounds that I had not included published scientific articles, I have now referenced (with links) a number of the most significant papers coming out of this research for whom JM Bailey was the main author (his name appearing either first, or following Francis Farley who was the leader of the large team cited as 'et al' which can be seen by viewing the papers on the links submitted). There has recently been renewed coverage of Muon research in the press so publishing this biographical page which summarizes all the early work by the leading expert on Moun storage rings will be very timely. Despite the evidence in all these papers / links, the biography has just been returned again as having insufficient evidence. Is this insufficient evidence of the academic work, or of something else such as JM Bailey's place of birth (Australia) or something else? His attendance at the University of Sidney and at The Queen's College, Oxford can be substantiated by the alumni offices of the academic institutions concerned, but this is not something that can be put as a link into a Wikipedia article. Please can you advise how to provide whatever information is required? Is it personal information which I can supply to you directly such as an email from the universities confirming his attendance there? Your help is much appreciated as I believe this will be a significant addition to Wikipedia (strong links to three other scientists featured on Wikipedia: VA Bailey, Francis Farley and Emilio Picasso).

Looking at the list of references, it strikes me that many of your citations are to directories, or lists of services. If so, then unless any of them contain in-depth coverage of the subject, all of them together contribute nothing at all towards establishing notability, and probably almost nothing at all towards the article.

@Seraphine Arku, looking at this draft, I don't really understand why you want to create a new article? We already have an article on Maternal health, and it would be best if you could edit that article to include information from your sources. -- asilvering (talk) 18:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It is part of the list of articles we can write that is why I did. Thanks for the clarification Seraphine Arku (talk) 18:24, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Seraphine Arku, what do you mean by "part of the list of articles we can write"? Is this part of an editathon or school project? -- asilvering (talk) 18:29, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, I see. If you want to make a much longer article, I agree that Maternal health in Africa is a good topic. If you only want to write a little bit, like what was in your submitted draft, it's probably better to just write on Maternal health, where your changes will be visible immediately. It looks like this editathon will still be going for the next couple of months, so you might alternatively want to hang onto this draft and see if anyone wants to add to it with you.

  • Draft:Tandem BASE Parachuting (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am requesting assistance because I do not know how to deal with the IGNORANT and LAZY "editors" in your organization who AGAIN rejected my article despite it being almost identical to a similar article on a related sub-discipline of sport parachuting that was accepted back when Wikipedia apparently had knowledgeable, not-lazy real editors. That article is on Wikipedia right now, yet your "editors" are so effing lazy and ignorant they can't be bothered to do 10 SECONDS of research to find that similar article on a related subject.

This article, Tandem BASE Parachuting, is ~500 words, yet it took your "editors" 2.5 MONTHS to reject it again for totally bogus reasons that they would KNOW were totally bogus if they were not so effing LAZY and IGNORANT and bothered to do 10 SECONDS OF RESEARCH about the subject.

Please compare my entry with the tandem skydiving entry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_skydiving

You will discover that my entry, Tandem BASE Parachuting, is almost identical because these two sub-disciplines of sport parachuting ARE almost identical, as the chief difference between them is that tandem skydiving starts from an aircraft, and tandem BASE parachuting starts from a Building, Antenna, Span, or Earth object.

So why oh why in God's name do your ignorant lazy "editors" REJECT the tandem BASE parachuting article despite there being essentially ZERO difference in them -- especially when the SOURCES your ignorant lazy "editors" keep claiming are inadequate for a host of equally bogus reasons are even closer than the text itself to being the exact same sources as the article which was accepted?

The only conclusion I can draw is that when the tandem skydiving article WAS accepted some years ago, you had actual, real editors, who were not lazy and ignorant. Seriously, what other possible reason can there be?

So that is why I am requesting assistance: These lazy, ignorant, incompetent "editors" need supervision -- and really, you guys need to ask yourselves:

IF these tools are so lazy and ignorant that they totally screw up THIS SIMPLE ARTICLE WITH SOURCES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED FOR ANOTHER WIKI ARTICLE,

THEN how badly are they screwing up bigger, more complex, more important submissions?

This is not rocket surgery.

Thanks in advance for solving this and getting the tandem BASE parachuting article up on Wikipedia despite the ignorant lazy "editors" who have made such a mess of this and wasted everybody's time, including yours.

Robin Heid, M.A.

You are correct the existing articles were crap and needed to be removed so I have taken care of that. Thank you for bringing it to our attention in such a constructive and understanding way. Now with that being dealt with your draft was declined because it does not meet the requirements of inclusion in that it does not show enough coverage in sources outside of official organizations. If you can show more coverage outside of these organizations then it is very likely this could be included as a notable topic on its own. Otherwise you may consider adding some of this content to BASE_jumping#Tandem_BASE_jumps. McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 22:36, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft is written with much promotional language("entreprenurial journey"); this leads me to think that you may be associated with this person- are you? The draft should be written very matter-of-factly, in a dry manner that does not talk up the subject, but just summarizes what independent

reliable sources choose to say about them. 331dot (talk) 09:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

]

"Notable", in Wikipedia parlance, doesn't mean famous, or popular, or influential, or significant, or any of those things. It means that people have already taken note of the subject, in published material. It basically means "There is enough

independent, reliably published material about the subject to base an encyclopaedia article on" - remembering also that 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.

It was, however, claimed that there were "no secondary sources at all", which is patently untrue. There are multiple secondary sources. It is hard to satisfy reviewers that make such mischaracterizations in declining drafts.

Although the point about "other stuff exists" may seem valid on the surface, consistency should be considered critical. Without consistency, it's just the Wild West. TruthIsLikeGravity (talk) 21:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency for consistency's sake is not a policy here. If you are aware of other articles about women's rugby teams that exist that you believe are similar to yours, please point those out so action can be taken. The best articles to use as a model or example are those that are

classified as good articles. 331dot (talk) 21:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Divide the number of articles (6.8 million) by the number of administrators we have (686) and you'll realise you're asking us to do the impossible. We try to be consistent as much as possible, but when you've got such a deficit of manpower there's only so much you can do. Thus we have to rely on more proactive means like this to try and cut the firehose of new articles that would otherwise overwhelm us. To that end, refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:

• We can't use https://www.vicnews.com/sports/uvic-womens-rugby-improve-to-winning-record-after-back-to-back-blowout-victories-91336 (
  unknown provenance
  ). Role byline; who wrote this? (We're sceptical of role bylines in most cases because they're very frequently used to signal an article didn't go thru the Editor-in-Chief or the outlet's fact-checking processes.)
• We can't use https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1.6638975 (
  routine coverage). We don't cite matches for sports teams. (In fact, except for specific matches like the Heidi Game or Disco Demolition Night
  we don't really discuss specific matches in too much depth.)
• We can't use https://bcrugby.com/vikes-finish-second-usports-national-championships/ (unknown provenance). No byline; who wrote this?
• https://govikesgo.com/sports/womens-rugby/roster/Fall%202023 is useless for notability (
  connexion to subject
  ). Same goes for anything else from that domain, as it's the Vikes' website.
• We can't use https://canadawest.org/sports/wrugby/index (
  too sparse
  ). League standings.
• I can't assess https://usports.ca/en/championships/rugby/f (Technical barrier). The page is trying to load a tonne of data all at once, and it's causing my browser to hang.
• Both BC Rugby league pages are useless for notability (too sparse). Match schedules.

None of the sources you provide that I can assess are any good. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{Source assessment notes} 21:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, have a look at the following examples and tell us what you think. I'm not going after articles out of spite, and these are only examples at the same institution, but I don't see any reliable secondary references in those articles by the standards you described:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Vikes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Vikes_women%27s_basketball

If we start applying those standards universally, almost all University Varsity sport program articles would come crashing down. TruthIsLikeGravity (talk) 00:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And neither were drafted.

WP:Articles for Deletion for you, since you seem more interested in using them as camel's noses in tents rather than improving them so that they meet Wikipedia policies. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{Source assessment notes} 00:44, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

You made an unfounded assertion about my interests (re: camel's noses).

Nevertheless, would you say then that there is likely a large number of varsity sport articles that would not be in compliance with current standards if they were reviewed? TruthIsLikeGravity (talk) 01:03, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you're only interested in using these articles to argue for your own, then by all means WP:Village pump (policy) and WT:Notability are that way. But this page is not the place to try to sneak in an argument to change our policies in that regard by using articles that are tangential to your draft, and every argument you make on that front is time that could be better spent looking for better sources for your articles. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{Source assessment notes} 02:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Properly Citing Offline Sources ie: Newspaper clippings (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I'm writing up a page for a World War 1 army officer who served in France and later was a member of the city council in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Problem is there is very little online about the person of interest since he died in 1980. The wiki submission was denied for lack of sources.

He was my great grandfather so I have quite a bit of material about him. Lots of newspaper clippings from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, whom he wrote letters to during the War to keep the locals informed. I tried searching their archives for the clippings circa 1918, but no luck.

Any suggestions for how/where to find the original source, or how to properly cite the newspaper clippings? Cdsweezy (talk) 02:12, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cdsweezy: use {{cite news}} (you will need to use the source editor; Visual Editor screws templates up) and fill in the last1, first1, date, work, title, and page (or pages) parameters. This will provide the credited author, date the story was run, the paper it was run in, the article title/headline, and the pages it was on - the bare minimum required for an offline newspaper citation. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{Source assessment notes} 02:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how to resubmit

Mani G 36 (talk) 03:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mani G 36: This draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. I will also take the liberty of assessing your sources:

• We can't use Reference 1 (no editorial oversight). Just because he scored a movie does not mean he is notable per Wikipedia's definition because of it.
• Reference 2 needs to point to a news article where he is listed as winning those awards,
  not to another Wikipedia article
  .
• We can't link to, let alone use, Reference 3 (
  copyright violation
  ). Lyrics enjoy copyright protections, and so we generally can't link to random lyrics websites.
• We can't use https://my793478-og-nanba-records.contact.page/ (
  too sparse
  ). Content-free profile.
• We can't use https://video-indian.my/og-nanba-song-alaigalanathu/ (
  reliable
  and (2) uploaded to that outlet's verified channel. Random videos won't cut it in the slightest.
• http://itimes.my/mywood-scooter-vandi/ is useless for notability (
  wrong subject
  ). This is about the song and not Das.
• We can't use https://dailymmnews.wordpress.com/2012/08/10/preview-og-nanba-is-back-with-scooter-vandi-with-kash-villanz/ (
  unknown provenance
  ). It's a two-sentence blog post under a role byline, where most of the content is random YouTube videos we can't cite and wouldn't be citing this way if we could.
• https://varnam.my/87224/og-nanba-marks-25-glorious-years-with-a-much-awaited-new-single-release/ is useless for notability (
  wrong subject
  ). This is about a rap group he's in, not about Das.

Hope this helps. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{Source assessment notes} 03:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jebondz if a person does not meet our notability threshold there can be no article. There is no indication that Muhammad Faizal Zainol meets this standard, therefore I have rejected the draft (twice) and it can not be an article at this time. Qcne (talk) 15:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To expand on that, I will assess the sources you cite. Refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:

• We don't cite LinkedIn (
  too sparse
  ).
• Both i3investor.com sources are useless for notability (

? If you do it is acceptable to draft an article in Draft: space, submitting it for review. It needs to be neutral prose.

Further, For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple

WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 11:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply
