Stisen AfD comments

I just wanted to let you know that your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Stisen were reverted (likely by someone on vandalism patrol) because you deleted everyone else's comments when you posted. If you want to restore your comments, you can copy-paste them from the page's history. Just add them at the bottom of the entry, rather than replacing the existing content. Thanks.

I'm sorry about deleting everyone's comments there. I've got to be honest...using Wikipedia is a totally new experience for me and I didn't realize I was affecting the entire thread. I'm a writer, not a rocket scientist. I just felt strongly about Daniel Stisen and he does genuinely deserve to remain on Wikipedia. I am absolutely lost as to how to put that across however.

I assumed it wasn't intentional. There is a preview button you can use before publishing changes in order to see how you've affected the page you're editing. As far as getting your point across, posting links to sources that show he meets the guidelines in WP:BIO or WP:GNG is the best thing you can do to demonstrate that he needs an article. Skeletor3000 (talk) 17:05, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. I would never delete anyone's argument, just to put forward my own. And I did use the preview button...but with total oblivion that I was removing anyone else's posts. I've made mine again, hopefully without disturbing anyone else's and like I say, I'd like to do what I can to help Daniel. He's the hardest working actor I've ever known and his credits really are a credit to him. I've posted one article, I'm putting my own neck out publicly for a colleague I respect and I really hope that he's able to keep his page. I believe in the man; he's earned it and he most definitely has the career to warrant this entry on Wikipedia. I wish that I was more adept on using the site and able to prove that for him. I tell you, if the page gets retained, I do feel strongly enough to putting his credits and achievement forwards myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.85.65 (talk) 17:14, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mim Shaikh (August 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by KylieTastic were:

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 people). 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 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.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mim Shaikh and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Mim Shaikh, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
