Picky wording issue
Please do not use phrases such as “not notable” in a CSD nomination such as you used in:
if that has subsequently been deleted your explanation was “because Stale article - no RS - not notable subject.”
One of the classic admin test questions is about the deletion of an article where the subject is not notable. A non-notable subject can be deleted in an AFD but not in a CSD. Deletion under CSD requires a more stringent standard that importance wasn’t even asserted. See WP:a7. I think many of those you have tagged with this phrase do qualify as A7, but because you use the word “notable”, I have declined to delete them. My guess is someone else will remove the article but change the rationale from G6 to A7.--S Philbrick(Talk) 03:58, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Got it Sphilbrick - Thanks for the heads up. I had actually asked another admin if they had a problem with the wording, since I was definitely unsure about how to tag these (having just begun to "dip my toe in the water"), and they didn't have a problem with it. I didn't think userspace pages were eligible for AfD. In the future, when I come upon an article like that, such as User:Yi Qing Sim/Markus Krunegård, I'll use the A7 tag (should I go and change them now?). How would you proceed if you found a stale draft (most I've looked at haven't been touched in years), and it asserts notability: "X is the greatest chef in the world", and is completely unsourced? Or a page like User:Yohanes.niko/Soegija?
- I use that extreme example, and think that needs to be treated differently than something which asserts notability, and give references, but those references aren't RS, or there are no references, such as User:YippySkippyDoo/Minyan Shelanu - I tagged that one U5, since it is simply an ad for the group, but it does claim it is "the largest rabbinical college in the United States", which is grounds for notability. The others I've come across like that (without the promotional aspect), I've left alone, since I couldn't find any grounds for deleting them. Should I leave a note on the list of Stale articles? Should I leave a comment on the page itself? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Onel5969 TT me 12:03, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- oops, you’re right A7 is for article space and this is not article space. I narrowly focused on the word “notable”. Let’s rethink this.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:45, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- LOL, Sphilbrick. I just used it on about 5 stale drafts. Perhaps an admin should recommend a new category, similar to G13, but for stale drafts? Over a certain time period with no activity? Say 1 or 2 years?Onel5969 TT me 13:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Please see User_talk:Sphilbrick#Picky_wording_issue. Still thinking about this, but I urge you to hold off new nominations until we sort it out.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:06, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- On a different subject, I do want to acknowledge that I have seen your name quite a bit on G 13. My general process is that when I see a G 13 I look to see who nominated it and if it is a new name I look at a little more closely but I looked at enough of yours that I’m happy to see your name as I’m sure it’s in good shape. Thanks for all the work you’ve done in G 13’s; now let’s sort out how best to handle these user space drafts.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:08, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Sphilbrick. My objective is to reduce the work of other editors, not add to it. I'll continue to work on the discarded drafts, now that I have some direction. I think part of the issue was that I felt that I couldn't skip a stale draft. Now, if I can't make an obvious call, I'll simply leave it and move on to the next one. Thanks again.

TL is your friend
Your edit here hopefully intended to explain to the editor the reason for the deletion nomination, but by including the template you added this page to the CSD list. Please see my subsequent edit which uses the “TL” template so that the template is displayed but not invoked. (If you have other such examples, you’ll want to fix them as soon as possible.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:40, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Weird speedy tags
Will you please stop using some weird syntax for speedy delete tags. We have just had to rescue user talk:Yogijbrown, User talk:Yogikuddha and User talk:Yocko from CAT:CSD. Compare this edit, the notification of which applied a speedy tag to the user_talk page with this one where the notification was correct. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:52, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Fat and flabby
I thought that my user_talk page was quite busy but yours seems to move three times faster than mine. This page is ridiculously big. OK, disk space is ridiculously cheap and apparently endlessly expandable but spare a thought for people with slow connections or on small-screen hand-held devices. OK2, you probably will be archiving Feb shortly so I am seeing this page at about its largest but may I suggest that you archive more frequently or enlist the services of an archive bot. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:07, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi RHaworth - Regarding your first message about the templates. Absolutely. I made those edits in an attempt to comply with Sphilbrick's comment above. Then I had to go do the day job thing, intending to go back and undo them at my first opportunity. Which this is, so thank you for cleaning up my mess. Won't happen again. Regarding archiving: I guess I could archive twice a month. I had done it more frequently, but got a few complaints from editors about not being able to find their discussions. But I don't have a problem with doing it more frequently. It's the traffic from being involved in AfC's and helping new editors try to get their articles in shape.

Hi Onel5969,
I hope all is well today :). I just wanted to see if you could take another look at this draft. He played in the Macedonian super league which is listed as #9 under national domestic leagues and also in two of the top leagues in the world in Argentina and Spain. Please advise on whether or not this qualifies. Thank you in advance.

21:18:24, 1 March 2016 review of submission by Jamck
Can you please help me understand why this page keeps getting declined? I have read all of the pertinent information on Wikipedia, and keep adding more references and links, but it doesn't seem to change the status. In looking at other musician pages, including some of the Wikipedia links to musicians that Bobby has worked with that are linked to his page, it seems that they use similar kinds of references, and similar numbers of references, and those have been approved for example:
[[1]]
[[2]]
[[3]]
Any help is appreciated.
- Hi Jamck - You're partially right. 2 of those articles are not well cited, and the one is probably going to get nominated for deletion. The 3rd, however, is very well cited by wp:RS. But your argument is called other stuff exists, and isn't a very valid argument in this case. Because there are poor articles, doesn't mean that an article which doesn't meet Wiki's current standards will get approved. There are a lot of articles that were created years ago, when standards were much more lax. Anyway, regarding your article: YouTube, Facebook Area25, Musical Discoveries, Legends, and Spotify aren't reliable sources. City Paper is a brief mention, couldn't even find him in the philly.com reference, BMI is a simple listing (which shows he exists, but doesn't go to notability), and again I can't see where he was even mentioned in the Spin article. His own website is not independent, and discogs doesn't help show notability. Hope this gives you direction. Onel5969 TT me 03:47, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you Onel5969 for the quick reply. It is appreciated. I certainly understand the point about "other stuff exists". I was not suggesting that this article should be included because the others were there, but was just wondering why they were acceptable and this one was not, which you clarified. Thank you. (I certainly hope, too, that none of these pages are deleted regarding notability, as these people are certainly very notable within the music community.) Some of the challenges in finding references for people during this time period for Bobby McKeown, as well as the other people's articles that I used as examples, is that much of the reference materials available pre-date the internet, and are simply not available there. How can this challenge be remedied, not just for the Bobby McKeown page, but any other notable musicians pre-internet? A few additional comments and questions: It seems to me that notability for musicians may be established, in noting the other notable musicians that they worked with that are included in the articles, as if they were not of the same caliber they would not be working together. Is this that not considered true by Wikipedia? Also, a couple of the comments concerning some of the references I used. 1) RE: You Tube videos - The videos I used are historical documents, not just album material uploaded by fans. As these videos were made during a period when music videos were in their infancy, wouldn't these be considered notable and valid references? Most bands during this era had their videos funded by their record companies, unlike today when musicians can even create their own videos. 2) RE: Spin Magazine - I added page and other references to clarify where the information was. 3) Spotify - Since Spotify is not a company that can have music directly uploaded by individuals, so why would it not be considered a reliable source? / Thank you again for your time. Any additional comments and help would be appreciated in overcoming the challenges of reference material to prove notability. Jamck (talk) 05:17, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- No worries, Jamck - YouTube is rarely a reliable source, since there is no editorial oversight. Spotify, iTunes, etc. have been deemed by the Wikipedia community as not usable, most likely for a different reason. Perhaps I shouldn't call it a non-RS. Simply irrelevant. I can't look at the Spin article while at work, but if it's in-depth, then it's a good source, if it simply just mentions him, then it's not. No, notability is not WP:INHERITED. Simply being connected to notable folks isn't a sign of notability yourself. Finally, regarding sources not available on the internet, that doesn't matter. If you have access to older articles not yet uploaded on the internet, feel free to use them. You simply have to be very precise when citing them, making sure that you give all the information required. For example, for a newspaper article you would need: the name of the paper, the title of the article, the date it appeared in the paper, the page # on which it appeared, and the name of the author (if there is one - sometimes news articles will say something like "staff reporter" or "source: upi", which you don't need to include). Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 14:47, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Help on a review: Articles for creation: BuckleyGrayYeoman (February 19)
Hi, would you be able to help me again as I feel a bit lost. I don't understand why this article keeps on being rejected. This time you mentioned the sources. Again I don't understand why many many other architectural practices such as BuckleyGrayYeoman are using the exact same kind of sources (mainly from the architectural world, even their own website!) - please have a look at Eric Parry Architects, Assael, Wilkinson Eyre, Jestico and Whiles, Stanton Williams... - some of them are even using only listing (I ve been told that it was totally wrong) and they have been accepted...Where is the consistency then here? I will add some more sources but I would be really pleased to hear from you about this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArchitectureZMJ (talk • contribs) 17:45, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

I have simply given up! After a couple of attempts and being told that I have too much of a vested interest in the article, I have given up and decided not to pursue Wikipedia at this time.

fianna fail
You are wrong, I made an edit on fact and figure on the Fianna Fáil page TWICE for the number of TDs in dáil eireann. The number of TDs in 2011 was 166, the number of TDs in 2016 has being reduced to 158. The number of Fianna Fáil TDs now 44 as all the counts on the Irish General Election have being made. Fianna Fáil currently have 44 seats out of 158. Paddyfromthewest (talk) 00:14, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Paddyfromthewest - Their website still lists the number of seats at 166, with the last election being for 158 of them. Do you have a credible citation showing that the number of seats has been reduced? Or are you simply going off the number in the last election? Perhaps some of the seats were not up for re-election?

Hi, I did rework the sources. I rewrote them so they respect the basic rules of Wikipedia but not only ! I added several independent sources as requested (such as the FT, BBC radio or The Guardian) that talked about few different projects we are working on in London (The Passage, The Bishopsgate Goodsyard and Cromwell Place).

- Hi. ArchitectureZMJ - Will not re-review, instead giving other editors a chance to take a look at it. I don't feel that it passes notability standards. The second cite is a bad link. Profiles are publicity pieces, and don't show notability. The rest are simply mentions of the company. Onel5969 TT me 13:13, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

- Hi Unionpearl - You've made some very good improvements. There are still some issues with the article, however. First, I'm not going to comment on the notability, for I'm not sure about that, so I wouldn't evaluate it on that basis. Second, the article contains what are known as "raw links", particularly in the table you created in the external links section. The article itself is well-structured, a little bit of WP:CITEKILL (shouldn't really use more than 2 citations for any reference, unless what is being asserted is very contentious. My understanding of the edit-a-thon is that it is an event set up to help folks learn how to edit. So I think this is an excellent article to be able to pull up at the event and let editors on-site show you how to make the corrections. Good luck with it. Onel5969 TT me 13:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

I have added some information which I think might address the issue of notablity. Can you tell me if I am heading in the correct direction? Zhou Qi was an important commentator on Dream of the Red Chamber, one of the most popular novels ever written. She is not very well known in the English speaking world, but that does not necessarily mean she is not notable. I left a message about my entry on Zhou Qi--I have revised it but thought I'd talk to you about it rather than just resubmit it.
I think I added material which makes the case for her notability, but if I didn't I'd like to hear from you what would make the case. She is not well known in English, but her writings on the novel Dream of the Red Chamber are very important.

Curious1949 (talk) 02:30, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Curious1949 - Still not sure of the notability, and the sources don't make a very good case for it. In addition, the use of WP:PEACOCK terms gives the piece a promotional tone which would need to be corrected. When you make broad declarative statements like "the most popular Chinese novel of the eighteenth century", and "are contained in the famous set of illustrations", you need to rework those so that they are neutral and simply give facts. In addition, there is some of what appears to be original research and supposition, in her relationship to Yuan Hua, which shouldn't be in the article. Onel5969 TT me 13:42, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

No matter, if you think it isn't notable enough then just delete it. The writeup is mainly based on website information, but formatted similarly to the other CMS pages.

With regard to article 'New Bong Escape HPP'
Before making changes kindly make an effort to understand the background and provide proof as to why you are making edits to other peoples work. New bong Escape is the first private HPP in Pakistan. There have been changes made to the constitution of the country to allow for a space for private hydropower generation within Pakistan, solely due to this project.

- If that is the case, then it seems that many of the pages linked from List_of_content_management_systems need to be deleted for lack of independent references. For example, CMSimple has only references from the vendor website. Pluck CMS has no independent refs other than (ahem) a couple of Secunia advisories. Even the brand leaders like Joomla and Wordpress have only a small number of independent references, the majority of cites being from their own material. Of the few independent cites on the Joomla and Wordpress pages, most seem to be from news websites or magazine reviews, which by WP guidelines are not 'gold standard' information sources either.
- So, it seems you're asking me to do something which other editors are not doing.
- List_of_content_management_systems is also missing some important recent additions like Statamic and Kirby. --Anteaus (talk) 09:24, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Anteaus - That's a pretty common argument, called other stuff exists. What most folks don't get is that Wikipedia is run by volunteers. There are about 2500 active editors who oversee more than 5,000,000 articles. And many of those articles were created when Wikipedia standards were lower.

- I am a volunteer. I have been an editor almost since the start, though I have not contributed much recently. So yes, I do get that.
- Hi Anteaus - That's a pretty common argument, called other stuff exists. What most folks don't get is that Wikipedia is run by volunteers. There are about 2500 active editors who oversee more than 5,000,000 articles. And many of those articles were created when Wikipedia standards were lower. Every day we sift through the articles and delete dozens which are total crap. But there are probably still tens of thousands which need deletion. However, many which appear not to be up to snuff simply need more work at finding better sourcing. You point out good examples of articles which fall into both of those categories.

- If a commercial journal asks me to write an article, I will be told how many words, how many images and what sizes, and in what style. A set of quantifiable requirements. I would typically have a look through their publications to get an idea of what kind of style they prefer. If in doubt I might submit a sample and discuss the style with the editor. Provided I have followed the requirements, it would be rare for my work to be rejected after completion. Yet here, we are being expected to submit completed articles, which even if they are closely based on the style of existing copy, can be rejected for ill-defined reasons. For instance, what constitutes notability? I have no idea. The WP guidelines don't define it in any quantifiable manner, either. To have to write the article and then be told its subject isn't notable, is frankly too much of a waste of time. --Anteaus (talk) 19:54, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Editing Richard Grootscholten
Hi there
Hope you're well? Good weekend?
You moderated a piece that I wrote on Richard Grootscholten, a football coach. The feedback that you provided was that he wasn't notable enough.
However, when I originally wrote it, it was moderated by another user who said that some of the citations were not notable enough, which I removed. But then this has led to your feedback that he's not notable enough...
Can I share my original copy with you to see if you can tell me how I can find that balance?
Thanks

- Hi RaviPau - I can see the earlier version by looking in the history. Yes, you have cleaned it up. But in my opinion he doesn't meet either WP:GNG, or the more specific WP:NFOOTY. To have met the first, the references would need to be more in-depth about him, and you would need more which were independent (e.g. the articles from clubs and the USDA are not independent). To meet the latter he would have had to be the manager of the Rotterdam club, or the senior club in the US. But I see you've resubmitted it, so I'll let another editor take a swipe at it, they might see it differently. But even if it gets moved to the mainspace, it probably won't pass an WP:AFD discussion, because of the issues I point out above. Sorry, wish I could be more positive, it's a well structured article, with mostly good formatting (your section headers need to be in different form, however). Hope you keep editing.

Hi there,
I've been revising this article as best I can - I'm not sure how to meet Wikipedia's guidelines for the overly promotional tone. Everything I've written here is factual, and the person the article is about really is quite significant in his field. I've been using the Wiki pages of Elon Musk (big fish) and Dave Kerpen (little fish) for reference, and I'm not sure how mine is different from the latter. Can you give some more specific pointers on how to get this accepted?
Thank you!
CLMorgenroth (talk) 21:35, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi CLMorgenroth There's a difference between being significant in your field, and being notable. And, my apologies, but your article doesn't bear a very good resemblance to Elon Musk, which, while it has a slight NPOV issue, is very well sourced. I agree that Kerpen's article is a bit of promotional crap, but he probably just squeaks by on notability grounds. The issue is that he is an attention seeker, and has sought out media attention. Your article has YouTube videos (which are not reliable sources), interviews (which are primary sources, and not valid for notability purposes), non-independent sources (like his university pages, and articles he's written). You need in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to show notability. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 13:02, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello Onel5969. I wanted to notify you that I believe I have made the edits you requested for https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Michael_Jay_Solomon. I have also added a few more sources. Can you please review the updates and let me know if I have more work to do? The subject of the article is an older man who is retired. I found it challenging to find sources for events which occurred 30 or more years ago, so I turned to books written about the history of the TV industry. Also, many of the sources repeat the same information, but from different articles/publications. Thank you for your review and feedback on possible improvements.LG Brichetto (talk)
- Hi LG Brichetto - the article still needs work, but he definitely meets notability requirements, and you've gotten rid of the overly promotional tone of the article, so I moved it to mainspace. It would help if you formatted the references, as per WP:CIT, rawlinks like you currently have tend to develop linkrot. Nice job, though. Onel5969 TT me 13:12, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

- Please see he links provided in the draft rejection. Basically, you'll need about 2-3 in-depth references from reliable, independent sources (usually magazines, newspapers or books), to show notability. Also, still reads pretty much like a CV, so the article will need a re-write. Onel5969 TT me 12:56, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

In the previous submission, the references were genuine, but I could not add links to make them verifiable. In this version of the draft, I am including verifiable references. I have added more details in the main message below. Kind request to have a look at it. Thank you.
Dear Sir:
Greetings!
Thank you very much for reviewing my article. After the declination in the initial phase, I have made extensive changes in the draft. I have incorporated the required editions in references as per Wikipedia’s rules and guidelines. References are now easily verifiable as I have added links to corresponding newspaper/magazine/journal/book.
Just to note, I had started this project considering the noteworthy work subject has done in the field of Psychotherapy, particularly in India. After getting an idea about the extent of work he has done in the concerned field, I felt the need to bring his contributions to light by including on an encyclopaedia.
I strongly agree with Wikipedia’s policies, rules and regulations about inclusion of subject to the encyclopaedia and I feel that the extensively edited version of article complies with Wikipedia’s policies, rules and regulations.
Thank you very much!
Yours very sincerely and respectfully, Vaibhav Palkar
- Hi Vaibhav Palkar - There are still quite a few issues with it. I've declined it again. First, almost all the references are by a single author. This doesn't show notability, but one person's obsession with this subject. Second, there are tons of raw links in the article, which need to go away (e.g. Himalaya Publishing House). Third, the article is not written in an encyclopedic tone. There is a lot of commentary, a lot of peacock words, and a lot of advertising. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 13:44, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

HI, Thanks again for your time. Even though you told me you won't review it, I thought it was good to give you an update on my last edit. I reworked again the sources by deleting 'Profile' articles and by adding articles from national and international newspaper that mention the practice and its work. Some of those articles are entirely dedicated to the project that the practice has been working on, some of them only mention the practice (as notable enough to talk about the project and be included in the article). As the wikipedia guidelines call for at least one article from a national newspaper or an international publication, I think that we are now reaching the goal. Thanks again for your time.

And in trying to make him appear notable, the article comes across very promotional, as if trying to sell the person to the reader. Simply state facts, and make them relevant. Who cares he was invited to the White House? Anyone with a big enough checkbook can claim that. Personally, I think he is notable. The plethora of citations also is a bit of WP:CITEKILL.

Request on 16:48:28, 10 March 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Toreeva
Hello, I'm very disappointed that you rejected my input. I understand when rejection was done on the first my input since I just started typing, so I have only one sentence without any references. But when they put into Draft, I had more time to write, and made the References section. But now, what is wrong now? I checked for the example another Russian artist, A. Belkin, who has only the couple of sentences, and his References section has 3 or 4 References which I could not even open, but still his input "pass" your acceptance. I don't know your art background, and specifically knowledge of Russian art, or you are just editor. My main point of making my input is our artists asked me to make my input into our Russian art, which is unknown from outside of Russia, which is in your Unofficial Art in Russia section. And because of my input people asked me to make my input, so people know that I/m reliable person, who has the good knowledge, and not just knowledge, but because I was a part of our art movement of 1970s. So I added there the "School of Sidlin". "Sterligov, "Arefief", and other sections there. My main point is about the "School of Sidlin", where I was the member of the group. Now only 4 students left alive, and because our school is very important from the art history point of view, it is under study in Russia, since our teacher was the student himself of the K. Malevich etc. And this is the part of history now. And since I knew another artists and their importance, I wrote about them too. In my article I included the References about the "School of Sidlin", where I could find. Remember, this is the Russian art, and many articles are written in Russian, which I can't use, since the reader can't read in Russian. So, I found and included only the References to our "School" which is written in English. But those info is very important, since for example our "School of Sidlin" included in the St. Petersburg encyclopedia, and I was mentioned there among other students of our group. (A.Belkin, or Alek Rapoport were not part of any group movement, but still they are included in your encycl.). Another my point, I included my printed 3 children's books, which I wrote and illustrated, and they were accepted in the museum, as other my works (paintings and drawings). Is it nothing from your point of view? What is more important for the artist than to be accepted in the museums? That's why I included this section there. I also divided the input into 2 parts, since I was living in Russia, and than moved to USA, so, it is 2 parts of the life of real person, and people in Russia are very interesting how I could survive. I did not know where I can put in the header or just mention, that I was accepted being in USA, as the member of the Artist Union of Russia (very important) and the member of the Writers Group here in Illinois, USA, so I just mentioned about it, but for the artist it's important, as well as I was included in the Best 10000 artists in the world by the art union. Yes, I'm not pretending to be Picasso, but I have my own role in the history..
If you can make the editing, and delete whatever you feel is extra written for this effort, them please do it. If you think, me, as an artist, does not have any "value" to be included in your encycl., than, delete it, even tough I disagree with it because it would be loss not only for my name, but for the history of Russian art as well.

You need an objective eye to write it in a neutral tone. I'm not very interested in Russian art, although I'm sure it's a very worthwhile subject, so I won't be working on your article. You might post a request on the talk page of Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia/Visual arts in Russia task force, and see if someone there is willing to help you edit the article.

Hi and thanks for reviewing Draft:Jordan Shlain. It is amazing what another set of eyes can do; when I submitted it I would have insisted it was neutral and encyclopedic. But today, after you declined the article, I re-read it, and I'm kind of embarrassed - the tone was definitely off. I've edited it - I think it's now just the facts. I would appreciate it if you would look at it again, and edit it if you find any issue with NPOV. Thank you again. JSFarman2 (talk) 18:57, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi JSFarman2 - it's better, but it still seems too informal and promotional to me. Sentences like "Shlain has combined his interest in technology with the practice of medicine throughout his career," "Based on the postive responses he received", etc. lend an air of non-neutrality and informality to the article. Also, take a look at WP:CITEKILL, this happens frequently when folks are trying to establish notability, and they think having more citations is good. Pick the best ones, get rid of the more dubious ones. For example, if all the information in the first sentence in the bio is contained in his father's obit, than simply use that, get rid of the other 2. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Request on 22:51:15, 12 March 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Theredproject
Hi Onel5969, I removed any non-inline citations. Please reconsider. There are 5 citations to WP:RS that establish clear notability.
Theredproject (talk) 22:51, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Theredproject - Those citations do not establish notability. 4 of them are from non-independent sources (any gallery where her work was shown, any organization/company she belongs to, any university/studio she studied at - all these are non-independent). What you need are about 3 in-depth references from independent, reliable sources to show notability. Those sources will usually be newspapers, magazines or books. You can see how to properly format citations at WP:CIT. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 12:44, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Onel5969 The two key citations link to Museum pages noting the inclusion of the artists work in their collection, thus clearly establishing notability under WP:ARTIST section 4. National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Ontario. Those are not non-independent sources.--Theredproject (talk) 19:15, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
22:57:14, 12 March 2016 review of submission by Doramensah1971
The subject is a well known film maker who has made significant contribution to African Cinema in the UK. I have added 7 independent and reliable sources like the UK Voice Newspaper which is the biggest black newspaper in the UK. There are also independent feature in three separate magazines which I have added. All of these articles focused on the subject. Can you explain why you think the references are not independent and reliable?
- Doramensah1971 - Sure. Some are interviews, which are primary sources and can't be used to show notability. Some are press releases, which are invalid. Some, like imdb, are unreliable sources. Others do not go into depth about the filmmaker. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 12:48, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Than you for your review. Can we put the article in my sandbox to wait for another event in 2017? Or I can find some more sources. --Robertsan (talk) 23:23, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Robertsan - yes it can be moved, but why? Simply leave it in draft space. It won't be deleted. After 6 months of inactivity it could be deleted, but if someone nominates it for deletion, you will be notified, and you can simply remove the deletion request tag. So leave it in draft form until you can expand it. Onel5969 TT me 12:51, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

I've got newspaper articles about the subject not online. How can I use that as source?
- Hi - Yes, there is no requirement that sources be available online, it simply makes it easier to validate the sources. But you have to include all the needed information so a reviewer/researcher can find the source. See WP:CIT on how to format citations for newspaper articles.

Help with a rejection of an article
Hello Can you help me with my attempt to make a page about Peter Mitchell (photographer)? This IS a notable photographer but there is a lack of information on him on the Internet, precisely because he has been under represented in the canon of British colour documentary photographers. This should change! He has been in Tate Britain, on the BBC and Martin Parr, arguably Britain's most famous photographer, has called the show at Impressions Gallery in 1979 "Groundbreaking". What am I doing wrong??? Many thanks Jessafair (talk) 13:45, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jessafair - I'm pinging the other editor who reviewed your page, since you left a message for them as well: Anarchyte. The issue is your sourcing, and the fact that the way the article is written, it simply doesn't appear that he meets notability criteria. Being part of a show at the Tate doesn't meet those notability criteria. Having his work as part of the Tate's permanent collection would show that he might be notable. Big difference between the two. What Wikipedia looks for are references from independent, reliable sources which are in-depth about the subject. The Aesthetica article is the best reference you have, and that is more about the exhibition, than about the artist. It does speak about both photographers, but even in that, the other photographer is given more play. Two of your other references are blogs, so they aren't worth much, since they have no editorial oversight. The Tate is not an independent source, since it's promoting its own show. Photoworks is a promotional site, so is not a reliable source. And the Leeds piece also appears to be a bio, most likely contributed by the artist itself - highly promotional. If he's as influential as you say, there will be mentions of him in newspapers, magazines and books. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 20:19, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I'm wondering why the submission was declined after finding reputable sources establishing Akins as instructor for (at the very least) Ronda Rousey, Jared Hamman, and Stefan Struve, all major MMA players. Can you please tell me what sources you found insufficient and which you found reputable?
--~ [Daveswallace] (talk) 23:19, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Daveswallace - Notability isn't inherited. Just because someone works with notable folks, doesn't make them notable. Interviews aren't valid (since they are considered primary sources) to show notability. YouTube is not a reliable source. Some of your sources are little more than blogs, so they are not valid references (e.g. The Jiu-Jitsu Vortex and Vegan athletes). Wikipedia is going to look at in-depth coverage from reliable, preferably mainstream sources. Onel5969 TT me 20:26, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- My understanding was this falls under the "coaching" notability, especially relevant in sports. Is that not the case? The previous review also found that some of my previous sources were relevant, so I'm more confused now. --~ [Daveswallace] (talk) 18:49, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Could you let me know please what about the submission you felt was advertorial rather than factual ? The style and layout of the article was largely based on accepted and published articles for Pulsonix and Altium Designer amongst others. All of the software packages address the same engineering application area and I'd assumed therefore that a similar layout and style was correct.
Thanks for your help.
Iain-Cliffe (talk) 10:08, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Iain-Cliffe - Articles tell us about a subject, ads sell us a product. Yours is a promotional brochure telling buyers about the positives of a product. Having said that, whenever an article is written about a product, it is going to have some promotional feel to it, since part of the article will have to discuss what the product is about. However, when an article simply reads as a brochure, that's problematic. Tells us about the product's development, give us negative reviews about the product, drop almost all of the Features section (which is basically the entire article - condense that section to one or two sentences). Onel5969 TT me 20:31, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
That's helpful, thanks. I've re-submitted a second draft with an attempt based on your guidance above. However, at some level I cannot accurately describe the software without including information about it's capabilities and I'm not sure at what level that is acceptable. Other software packages in the same field (Pulsonix, KiCAD, DipTrace, Altium_Designer ) have published articles on Wikipedia with an explicit and extensive listing of their main features and I'm unable to spot any difference in tone between this article and those articles. Hopefully, this draft strikes a better balance.

If I requested the deletion, than it was most likely due to either notability issues, or it might have been a stale draft. You can always ask the admin who deleted the article to restore it.

Peter Mitchell draft
Hello - thank you for your help with my draft of https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Peter_Mitchell I have added lots of references which I hope you will think increase his notability. It's interesting that you distinguish between being held in the Permanent Collection of the Tate and showing at The Tate. He is the permanent collection of other things so I've put them in. He's been on the BBC so I put that in. His work has been reviewed in different newspapers so I've put them in. Could you let me know if this is OK or do I need to re-submit to someone else? Thank you for the time you have taken to have a look. Most helpful. Jessafair (talk) 08:34, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jessafair - The new references (particularly that of the Mail, the Independent and BBC show his claim to notability. The problem with the article now is all those raw links you threw in there, e.g. like the one I changed to a wikilink. Those need to be removed, and either replaced with a wikilink, or if they are to a reference, than converting them into valid references. Once you do that, let me know and I'll move it to the mainspace. Nice job! Onel5969 TT me 02:45, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi there One|5969 Thanks for this advice!! I hope I've done what you said. It took me a bit of time to work it out but I think I have done it. I am assuming it will need to be Peter Mitchell (photographer) to distinguish him from other Peter Mitchell's, but I don't know how to do that. I thought I had done that originally when I started the draft but it seems not to be there. I have learned a lot doing this so hopefully it won't take so long next time. Do I need to re-submit or is it OK for you to take a look? Thanks once again - most useful! Jessafair (talk) 14:48, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Clara Read Draft
Hi Onel5969. I drafted the entry for Clara Read (child actress). I was essentially basing the draft on similar Wiki entries for girls who had played <Matilda Wormwood> in the West End.

247 Home Rescue Notability
Hi,
I can see that you declined the submission for 247 Home Rescue as the references do not show the notability.
When we last tried to create this page we were advised of the same thing and so have worked to include third party references as suggested.
The references include a BBC Radio link whereby the company was invited to speak on air in regards to a recent charity partnership as well as numerous press coverage including The Lancashire Telegraph, The Bradford Telegraph and The Argus (which is a Brighton-based newspaper at the opposite end of the country). As well as this, the company has been featured in various industrial magazines such as HVP Magazine, Insider Media and Installer online which are all nationwide magazines.
Can you provide any clue as to how to adequately determine the company is notable? I know the guidelines state the references need to be third-party, independent sources which I believe these are however in terms of how in-depth they should be is difficult to do with a business. Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks AnnaBGillespie (talk) 10:34, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi AnnaBGillespie - First, your terminology above indicates there might be one of two issues. First, either there is more than one person using your user account, which is a violation of Wikipedia policy, or you represent the company in some way, which would then be a conflict of interest. The first is a problem, and would need to be corrected. The second is an issue, but not insurmountable. COI just has to be dealt with. If it's the first, please take a look at WP:USERNAME. If it's the second take a look at the COI link above and take the appropriate steps. Second, regarding your article. Right now, there is nothing to show that your company is notable. It exists, it's successful, but is it notable? The current references are all what would be deemed WP:ROUTINE coverage. Take a look at WP:CORPDEPTH to get an idea of what it takes to show a company is notable. I hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 03:00, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

- Hi Bobzak - First, writing an autobiograpical article is very much discouraged. Let's face it, its difficult to be objective about ourselves. Second, the current sources don't have the type of in-depth coverage, or are from non-independent (e.g. Joliet JC) or minor local (e.g. Joliet Herald News) sources. The argument you raise regarding Michaels is called WP:OSE, you can click on that link to see why that's not really a valid argument. But even in looking at the two articles, you don't have a single in-depth source from a major reference. Michaels has two (both from the Tribune). I hope this helps. My suggestion would be for you to find someone willing to write the article for you, and you simply find the sources. Onel5969 TT me 03:23, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

She is interviewed on Doordarshan and abroad in Prabasi Ananda Bazar Patrika her name came along with other child prodigies.
She is an awardee of Jugal Srimal Award which is given to her by the Central organisation for Children in the Nehru Children Museum Kolkata . Kindly include her name among the child prodigy if not as a general biogrphy page for Wikipedia.
Before nine years of age she started writing and bagged prizes from an established child Magazine Suktara. She is a regular writer of Unish Kuri and also ABP group of magazines Desh a prestigious magazine. Kindly include her name for due recognition of a child talent and no other girl of her age has really done so much in Bengali lIterature. Syed Mustafa Siraj remarked that she is a 'Wonder Girl of Literture' and in future she will be the most powerful writer of Bengali literature.' At her age no Bengali writer has got chance to write in Desh which is one of the leading magazine of Bengali literature. Kindly consider all these literary feats of Rituparna Bhattacharjee and include her name in the List of Child Prodigies. If you want any more document we may provide you .. the letter of Syed Mustafa Siraj or letter of apprectiation from the then Presidnet of India and Governor of West Bengal can be given . But as there is no option for giving images , I could not give these letters which accepted Rituparna as a Bengali writer at that age. we have all paper cuttings but no links of that time. Regards.

Take a look at Wikipedia:Your first article on how to create your first article, and Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style and MOS:LAYOUT regarding structure and layout. Second, he may be notable, but the current sources don't show it. Interviews, articles written by him, and articles which briefly mention him are not valid to show notability.

Hi Onel5969,
I am very surprised that the article was rejected because you feel that Mr. Fleming's accomplishments don't pass the Wikipedia criteria of "Notability" when Wikipedia already recognizes Mr. Fleming as "Notable" on the Trinoc*coN wikipedia page? Mr. Fleming is listed as a "Notable Guest" approved and published by wikipedia on this page and I would think that consistency is important and crucial to the site! The fact that Mr. Fleming has created world renowned iconic characters for the WWE should alone make him notable. Then throw in the fact that a single artist went up against two major corporations that were copyright infringing his work and WON, is an incredible accomplishment and screams HOPE for all artists (do you have any idea how difficult this is?). Then throw in FOUR NOMINATIONS for the Chesley Award, which is possibly recognized as the highest honor for a Fantasy/Sci-Fi artist and is on par with the Grammys, Emmys, and Oscars for his Genre! On top of all that, Mr. Fleming is known for his work for almost every major publisher in the Comic Book and Gaming industries. Wikipedia has "working artists" with approved articles that have accomplished a fraction of what he has. Mark Poole has only worked for Magic the Gathering yet has an approved wikipedia page, while Mr. Fleming has worked for Magic the Gathering and SO much more. Nene Thomas, while being a successful artist where sales are concerned hasn't accomplished a fraction of what Mr. Fleming has, yet she has a Wikipedia page? There are many many more that I could list, but I hope you understand my point. If you would like me to create a long list of other artists that have approved pages yet less notable accomplishments i can do that? All of these points are backed up by the references in the article. I have worked really hard on this article only because I truly believe along with many others, that Mr. Fleming deserves to be recognized as a notable person. I know how hard you guys work on these articles and how much time you must put in, but please consider that you might have missed this one and thanks for hearing me out. Willharriett

- Hi Willharriett - Please read WP:GNG and WP:BIO regarding what makes someone notable (versus simply being accomplished). Just because other non-notable artists have articles doesn't mean that another non-notable artist should also have one. That's an argument called WP:OSE. Onel5969 TT me 13:16, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
07:58:34, 18 March 2016 review of submission by Cvazeem
I have seen many other pages in wiki encyclopedia where the sources are not so authentic compared to SanJaimt. For instance, check these pages. i) https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Fura_(rapper) ii) https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Jecin_George iii) https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Out_of_Range_(film) This page dont even have proper references. Still there is a page. We have an article even in Indian Express (National daily from India). Still ours got declined. Please explain.
- Hi Cvazeem - First, don't worry about other articles, that's an invalid argument known as WP:OSE. Second, your article does not have enough in-depth references from independent reliable sources to show notability. Unfortunately, Indian magazines and newspapers, in dealing with entertainment subjects, have become very unreliable, turning into tabloids who simply reprint regurgitated press releases. Commercial sites like your last two also don't show notability, and neither do interviews. Onel5969 TT me 13:25, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

One thing I couldn't work out - how to put Peter Mitchell (photographer) in the heading? Best wishes Jessafair (talk) 14:50, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jessafair - Nice work. I moved it to the mainspace. Regarding how to change the title of an article (which is what you were asking about adding photographer to the heading) - once you become an autoconfirmed user, there is a tool that appears at the top of your page, called "More". In that tab, there's a tool to "move" pages. If you use it in the future, simply make sure the move is uncontroversial. Not only was this move not controversial, it was necessary, as there is an existing page with the simpler title, Peter Mitchell. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work.

draft entry for "Jeff Papa"
Hi Onel5969,
Thank you for your feedback and the offer to give advice. I reviewed again the guidelines after you declined the entry for "Jeff Papa." The denial seems to be based on either lack of reliable sources and/or lack of notability. However, the original submission cited to the Indianapolis Business Journal, The Lebanon Reporter, the Zionsville Times-Sentinel, several university and government sources, the Current newspaper, the Indianapolis Star, Indiana Public Radio, and several other sources. Each of those newspapers are print and online traditional newspapers ("mainstream" as per wiki definition) of general circulation. However, I have added citations to the article from WISH Television, The Flyer Group, the Washington Times, ABC NEws 10, Green Bay Press Gazette, Detroit Free Press, USA Today, Tallahassee Democrat, Indianatalks.com, Diario Co Latino, and IndyKorea Magazine (print and online). Many other can be found, but would appear cluttered unless needed.
On notability - note that Papa is credited with being the FIRSt mayor of Zionsville, Indiana, the architect of the FIRST and FOURTH government reorganizations in Indiana history (and recognized/decorated by the governor and state senate for that fact), responsible for the elimination of three township governments (FIRST and only time ANY have been eliminated in the 200 year history of the state), has served on a national board, is cited as first author on multiple peer-edited publications, and founded and serves as president of an international orphanage operation. Per wiki rules on notability, this seems to fall into "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" I certainly appreciate any advice you can provide on what else needs to be added to demonstrate the notability and the reliability of the sources. Thanks! Appreciate the thoughts and the quick review you did. /TP Templetonpeck4 (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Request on 09:00:14, 21 March 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Gwenwynne
Hi,
I just rewrote the page adding sources that wrote about productions that received national attention and cover a young professional theatre director. The Rap Musical Sanctuary, D.C. was novel and the first of its kind in this country. Please see Ralph Brown's wikipedia page. Please tell me how the productions cited are not notable. Isn't it customary that the director is credited. I am a Directors Guild of America member and advocating for more women to direct. I hope the span of the career of Gwendolyn Wynne notes a moment in history when women had to create their own companies and pursue their own productions. Just like the feature film Wild About Harry. Otherwise, myself and dozens of other women directors are rendered invisible.
Thanks for your consideration. Or please guide me or have someone else write about the span of my career as a woman pursuing directing in theatre and film in one of the most difficult eras in the entertainment business's history.

- Hi Gwenwynne, (and thanks for the comment, MelanieN). I think you may very well meet Wikipedia's standards for notability, but I think you need to be patient. I've nominated the article you put on mainspace for deletion, since I think it needs to be worked on before moving there. I also think you need to have an uninvolved editor assist you. I personally know several female screenwriters (no directors, though), as well as being a former off-Broadway (and off-off-Broadway) director, and would feel comfortable in helping you with the article. First, I think you need to go to the deletion discussion and ask to have it merged with one of the two drafts. Then, if you are interested, we can begin to get the article into shape. It will most likely take a week or two, as I am working on several other projects, and only have a limited amount of time I can spend on it. But I do think we can write a nice article.

Trying to set the record straight
Dear One15969, I am working on the biography of my sister, the late orchestra conductor Isabel Mayagoitia. One of the objections to my article is the lack of inline citations. At present I have a few newspaper and magazine articles in the reference list. I could add a few inline citations, but they will not cover all the facts. (I of course have a vast amount of documentary evidence such as letters, concert programs, recordings and photos.) There are other newspaper articles (from reputable newspapers) that I have not quoted because they have a number of factual errors, such as giving wrong dates and places. There is little that is available online. In some ways this Wikipedia article is my attempt to set the record straight.
Isabel's notability is based not only in her musical talent (which is difficult to fully convey in a written medium) but in succeeding in a male-dominated field before Austria acceded into the European Union and had therefore to give women equal opportunities. It is easy to take for granted (I am a 56 year-old engineer) in 2016 that women can go into any previously male dominated field. But for the pioneers, like her, where there was open opposition to her even being present in the classes, it was bitterly difficult. And she has left a legacy, although her life was short.
So please let me know what else I need to do to get the article accepted. I do realize I still need to put it in the Wikipedia format. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Academicruth (talk • contribs) 19:27, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Academicruth - There are 3 issues with your article. Well, 4. The first is the conflict of interest. Please take a look at that link and take the steps necessary to let other folks know about your conflict. Second, is the tone. Get rid of all commentary, e.g. "Through unfailing good humor, faith and a steely determination, she was able to overcome this bias, and blaze a trail for those who would come after her," and "In Salzburg she confronted a deep-seated bias on the part of some professors against teaching women." Get rid of WP:PEACOCK words like "significant", "sweet", "marked talent", etc. Also get rid of unnecessary details. If one of her teachers is not notable themselves, there is no need to mention their name. Also, only refer to her by her surname after the initial lead paragraph. Third, your citations. Please take a look at WP:CIT on how to properly format them. Right now it is difficult for reviewers to ascertain their validity. Fourth, Wikipedia is not the place to correct wrongs. Wikipedia exists solely out of secondary sources, no primary research is allowed. If you can't cite it from a credible source, it needs to be left out of the article. Sorry, but that's a pretty inflexible rule on Wikipedia. Hope this helps, and good luck with the article. Onel5969 TT me 22:04, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

- Hi Wihackett - Please take a look at WP:SCHOLAR to see what constitutes notability on Wikipedia. Taking a look at Veto's citation counts on Google Scholar, shows very low counts (His top 5 are between 22 and 38, and then drop off into the single digits - those aren't the numbers which show notability). I can't see anything else in the article which makes me think that he passes anything else in WP:SCHOLAR, which is what he would have to qualify under. Scholars, because of their lack of press coverage in normal sources, have been given an alternate route to show notability. If you see a way to make him qualify, please include it, and a citation to back up the claim. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 22:25, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Dear Onel5969:
Given the set of scholarly criteria named on WP:SCHOLAR, Veto seems to qualify, indisputably, according to the following:
2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g., the IEEE).
5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).
These three points are summarized in his biography section of my article. Thank you! Wihackett — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wihackett (talk • contribs) 00:14, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Wihackett - I'm not seeing any of that in the article. Which award did he win, and is it considered notable? He's an external member of a national academy, so I'm not sure that meets the criteria, other than that, nothing else seems to meet #3. And I don't see the named chair/distinguished professor in any of the citations. If he does indeed meet any of these, please provide a citation which shows that the assertion is true.

Hello,
Thanks for reviewing the submission! I just have a couple of questions as to how to show the company's notability. Merrithew has changed names several times in recent years, and the success of the company is very well-documented across a range of independent media under other names, namely the first one, Stott Pilates (the exercise method itself has its own Wiki page, and each of the founders have their own as well). It's the same company, however there are few independent sources that show this name change. How would you recommend I proceed? Should I include the resources that show the company's notability (though under a different name?).

Cardio First Angel article
Hi, I don't understand why this article was rejected.
1 - It describes the function of Cardio First Angel,
2 - describes the importance of this medical device and it
3 - quotes two independent sources,(as required by Wikipedia), which are not connected to the manufacturer. One is a journalist and the other one is an independent clinical trial.
In this case I have no idea what article would be acceptable. Can you give me some idea or be specific what is acceptable? Thanks
- Hi Animall - Softpedia is not a valid source. The other is the clinical trial. Wikipedia requires notability for an article to be created. To show notability, you'll need about 3 references which go in-depth about the subject, from independent, reliable sources. Usually that means newspapers, magazines or books. Since this is a piece of medical equipment, I'd also take a look at peer-reviewed journals. Onel5969 TT me 20:36, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Your removal of the tags regarding organization and the lead were fine, since you fixed those issues. Regarding the remaining tags and your question above: this happens a lot when dealing with someone who has borderline, if any, notability. Rhodes is accomplished, no doubt, but that's not the same as notability. And since he's not that notable, in writing the article, in order to make him appear notable, it comes off as promotional. For instance, dropping in superlative quotes about his non-notable books is highly promotional - it reads like a dust cover of the book. Especially when you quote from barely notable references such as Starburst. Searches on News sites return nothing to show he's notable. Books returns some hits, so he's definitely written some books, but I'm not sure if any of them are notable. As a scholar, he doesn't come close to meeting that notability criteria. I only tagged the article for notability doubts because I didn't want to go through the cites in the article, many of which are malformed (e.g. all the "See, for example..." and citation #9). In looking at the existing cites, they don't appear to meet the notability requirements, which would mean that there are several in-depth, from independent reliable sources, which talk about him, not about his books. Onel5969 TT me 21:00, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply Onel5969. I actually think the tags are to his advantage as I hope it attracts more help to clean it up. OK. Nobility. So that's what we are looking for plus some citation errors. I'll see what I can do to correct some of this. The problem might be some of Dr. Rhodes' work is so specialized that it sometimes sinks into more obscure circles. Again, thank you for the help. I may have more questions later if you don't mind.

My article submission on British historian Pamela Horn has been rejected. Dr. Horn was indeed a notable historian and worthy of a Wikipedia article in keeping with her peers who have articles on Wikipedia. The acceptance or rejection of my submissions over the past few years seems to me to be arbitrary, despite my consistent level of effort. I have always been puzzled by this. In the past I have had no success when editing a rejected article in getting it accepted at a later date. Therefore, I will not bother in trying to edit the Pamela Horn submission.

- Hi. Don't worry about other articles, that's an argument called other stuff exists. Your article simply does not have enough, let me correct that, any, in-depth references from independent reliable sources. The first source, which you incorrectly to Stowell (the actual author is Will Crutchfield), gives a two-line brief mention in an enormous article to Stowell. That citation also doesn't back up the assertion made in the sentence preceding it. The second citation is a nice citation about one of Stowell's works, but not about him specifically. And the third cite is not from an independent source. Onel5969 TT me 21:25, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

- Paul W1901 (talk · contribs)
Previous rejections make sense as earlier versions of the proposal clearly lacked citations but I am puzzled by your rejection. This proposal is not an advertisement. It contains information on Elga's history and achievements which are what make it notable. All the information is factual and referenced and therefore neutral. It is clearly not exhaustive, no encyclopedia entry is. Do you want me to include a full history of the company, take-overs etc.?
The initial references are to a book published by a reputable publisher. Lorch edited this book but it has chapters by the leading experts in the field of water purification at the time. Later citations are from a wide range of independent sources generally published in peer-reviewed scientific papers.
Elga's notability arises mainly from its development of its water purification products which are used in thousands of research laboratories around the world. I have included a few citations to publications by a few of these laboratories which refer to this use. I assume that you do not want thousands of citations. Do you consider this notability to be sufficient? it is certainly significant. How would you like this notability to be expressed?
Paul W1901 (talk) 18:00, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Paul W1901 - Just because it was rejected for another reason, doesn't mean that that it wasn't suffering from other issues as well. I'm still not sure of the notability, but I did not do an in-depth analysis of the sources. A cursory one, however, does not appear to show the company's notability. Most cites are not about the company, but about the process. There appears to be a dearth of in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources about the company. However, the article still is very promotional. Comments like "supplies and services water purification systems for use in laboratories, which meet the purified water specifications for general laboratory, healthcare and clinical grades of water", "he realized the technology had great potential in other applications, notably in research laboratories", "with an international reputation", "Products are designed to ...", plus the list of products are designed to sell a product, not tell us about the company.

Would you be kind enough in pointing out the relevant sections in the article that require more reliable referencing. Also, if TV or radio interviews were included how those can be referenced if they were shown live in previous years and are not available on the web or are available privately?

You are having difficulty accepting that ELGA is notable. The Wikipedia criteria for notability specify a need for significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources.

DR & AJU
Dear Onel5969,
Thank you for reviewing the page I wrote for DR & AJU. I am reposting my response here in case this is the more appropriate space. I can appreciate how busy you are, so I will go straight to your grounds for dismissal and not restate information already provided in the Talk section on the draft page <https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:LegalKorea/sandbox/DR_%26_AJU>
Your stated objections:
- read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia
- encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view
Since I am employed by this firm, it is logical to assume the intent of the page is advertising. However, the intent was (and is) to provide a vital, neutral point of view where non-Korean reporters and students can find quick background and source material about the firm in English. I openly stated that I was an employee, so readers would know there could be a conflict of interest. I am confident that if you or they recheck the sources cited, you will find, I conveyed the contents accurately. I actually looked for negative reports about the firm to avoid charges of bias. I found nothing negative. Please tell me precisely what reads like advertising, and I will change it if I cannot convince you it is third-party reference material.
- should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources
- not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed.
12 Reliable published sources cited in References:
Newspaper, magazine articles: Korea-based, Korean-language (3), Korea-based, English-language (2), global publications, English-language (4)
Books: Korea-based, Korean-language (2)
Korean government English-language website (1)
The only information taken from firm publications was the date of incorporation, the number of attorneys, the chief partners and notable members, i.e. the Information Box and Notable Members sections. On other Wikipedia law firm pages this information comes from firm publications. No news agency or author could possess more reliable, up-to-date information than this. I am aware of no other content, taken from the firm's publications. Please let me know what specifically you find questionable, and I will remove it and/or add a third-party source.
- the questionable notability of the subject
This is a valid concern, and another reason I spent several hours researching to make sure the firm complied with Wikipedia's clear and reasonable specifications before making the page. DR & AJU is currently around the 9th largest firm in Korea. It "has a reputation for punching above its weight” (Korea Times article, citation #7). As that and citation 8 prove, the firm has taken on Korea’s largest banks and the U.S. government on behalf of clients with far less clout. Currently DR & AJU has an arbitration case against FIFA on behalf of a player (who happens to have a Wikipedia page). The firm is also in partnership with Taylor Wessing. Once DR & AJU has a page, it will not be difficult to cross-link with other Wikipedia pages and further prove notability. If the firm has a page, it will be as easy for students or reporters covering high-profile cases to get the same quick access to information about DR & AJU that they can find on the other parties and firms involved. And so we come back to the reason I feel the company needs a Wikipedia page. It handles numerous high-profile cases that generate press in English as well as Korean.
Thank you again for your consideration and any further advice you can give to expedite acceptance.
Sincerely, LegalKorea (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:23, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi LegalKorea - First, please read WP:COI, and take the appropriate steps for a paid contributor. Be aware, that there are some editors who refuse to work with paid contributors. I'm not one of them, but I have to be interested in working on an article, and law firms are about at the bottom of my list. Your firm might very well be notable, but the current version reads like an ad for them. Phrases like "strengthening its focus on corporate law," "many high-profile cases," "provides clients access to integrated legal services ..." and "indicative of strategies pursued" are all promotional in nature. In other words they are attempting to sell us the company, rather than simply giving us facts and data about the company. I hope this helps. My best advice to you is to get someone not involved with the firm to write the article for you. You might post on Wikipedia:WikiProject Law's talk page to see if anyone is interested. Good luck. Onel5969 TT me 14:46, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- HiOnel5969 Looking at the long list of correspondence you have, I appreciate all the more you taking the time to first review the DR & AJU page and now respond to my reply. Before I began the page, I sought advice on what I needed to do to comply as a paid contributor. I was directed to this page Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure. It is cross-linked with the conflict of interest page you recommended. As per it's instructions I left "a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contribution." I fully appreciate why some Wikipedia editors object to any paid content and any advertising. That's why I tried to make the page neutral. The phrase "strengthening its focus on corporate law" came from the book 한국의 로펌 (Law Firms in Korea). Seoul: Legal Times. ISBN 978-8-996-15840-0. I need to check with Korean staff about the exact page. I agree it should have been cited. I will add the page number before I resubmit the DR & AJU page. However, I honestly do not see that as advertising, it is simply describes the focus of the firm. Similarly,the line "many high-profile cases" came from a cited article. Ironically, I included that not to promote the firm but to show Wikipedia that the firm was indeed notable. "Provides clients access to integrated legal services ..." comes from an article about the firm's pan-Asian partnership and was also included to describe the firm's structure; not sell it. The line "indicative of strategies pursued" describes what numerous mid-size Korean firms are doing to survive the opening of the Korean legal market, and those strategies are outlined in two articles cited after that line. Still, I will take your advice and solicit opinions from those outside the firm before I resubmit the article. I will not be able to make the changes until next week. I hope there is not a deadline for resubmission. Again, I am in complete agreement with the need to keep advertising out of Wikipedia. I simply think a firm taking on an increasing number of high-profile, cross-border cases needs its own Wikipedia page. Most of the firms and parties DR & AJU enters into legal exchanges with already have them. Students of law and reporters should have the same ease of access to information about DR & AJU that they can about the other parties involved in our cases. Thank you again for your time and consideration LegalKorea (talk) 09:17, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi again LegalKorea - the fact that you can't see how that is advertising is the primary reason why Wikipedia frowns on COI editing. Stating the focus of a commercial organization is a promotional tool, has no bearing on an encyclopedia article. It's meant simply to entice a customer looking for a certain type of representation. There is no deadline for submission. Drafts are left alone for 6 months, after 5, the creator of the draft will get notification of no activity, and if they don't respond, the draft can be deleted after 6 months. Even if it is, you'll be notified, and you can always ask to have it automatically reinstated. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 17:29, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

confused about your edits, again
I did look at the talk page. You can clearly see on that talk page that the discussion of Nikolai Tesla is old and important and he belongs on the page.
Instead of reverting my edits, why not improve them? Frustratingly, two times you've removed my important work from the Colorado Springs article. Instead of removing my work, kindly consider improving it per your talk page "but particularly to new editors, who should be encouraged, rather than discouraged, to contribute to this enterprise. " --Potguru (talk) 13:37, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- That "discussion" is from 5 years ago. You responding to a single comment from that long ago is hardly a discussion. Consensus at the US City talk page is for the current condition of this article being the preferred format. In addition, your edits were malformed. City articles which have separate list articles for notable residents, don't need an additional list in the city article. It's redundant. Onel5969 TT me 14:26, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- If the discussion is invalid because of it's age perhaps we should collapse the section, or archive it? What you say about "Consensus at the US City talk page is for the current condition of this article being the preferred format." makes sense and I can't disagree that " City articles which have separate list articles for notable residents, don't need an additional list in the city article [because] It's redundant." but since the section is completely blank and I am unaware of any rules or consensus that says "significant historic figures cannot or should not be listed because their names might appear on another list". Can you either point me to one or show me how to "correctly" format a list? I didn't think I was being combative. --Potguru (talk) 15:13, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey,

I have a lot of D-13's discussing Gideon King - would those help establish notability?

- Hi PaintbrushArt - We need in-depth coverage from independent sources to show notability. Independent means that they can't have an interest in, or be connected in any way to the subject (so galleries which show his work, his website, etc. don't count). Social websites are not reliable sources, and should be removed. The Frank Coelho article would have been nice, if it had been about the artist, instead of simply mentioning him. You should also have non-local coverage of him, that's not essential, but it definitely helps. You can use off-line sources, just make sure you include all the necessary info. You can find out how to format citations at WP:CIT. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 23:16, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Ryder Cooley Notability
Hello again,
Regarding this, I assume my references on prestigious awards/residencies are not enough? Certainly the Robert Wilson residency, the Watermill, Yaddo, and Joan Mitchell are extremely prestigious. There are other references that haven't been placed. Indeed, I'm at a loss to know what objective basis "notability" is. Ms. Cooley is internationally recognized, and has performed throughout the country. What is the quantitative measure and qualitative measure. There are many reviews on the web of performances, and, indeed Ms. Cooley's work has been received with notoriety and acclaim. Also, her animated short, Animalia, is listed on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1836743/). On the other hand, I don't know if pumping too much is advisable.
Ms. Cooley is at least as notable as a multitude of entries on Wiki.
Thanks in advance for further guidance. Slachutm (talk) slachutm — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slachutm (talk • contribs) 17:58, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Slachutm - I'll start with the last first: imdb is a non-reliable source, so it's pretty worthless. In your article, you have 10 references, 5 of which are by the artist, so they also are worthless (not completely, they're okay to prove bio facts, as long as those facts are simple things like dob or relationships). The other 5 are all connected to the artist, so they are not independent. In addition, the first three sections are wholly unreferenced. Onel5969 TT me 23:26, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thank you for your feedback Onel5969! Quick question - what if the figure was quoted in the piece but it's not an interview? (Like in the Ottowa Citizen piece?) I want to make this article as strong as possible!
- Hi Grimbold292 - While not a total interview, it's pretty much one, and when he's not being interviewed, the article isn't really talking about him, but about the situation and the company. Onel5969 TT me 23:31, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
You reverted my edits to the Denver wiki.
You reverted them because you said to not use "non-U.S. Census estimates." However, for all but one thing, they are all U.S. Census estimates and they can be found on the Census website. The CSA and MSA estimates are verifiable through the Census data. The only thing that's not verifiable through Census data is Denver passing Seattle's population. Please verify the numbers and revert the article to the newest estimates. Thank you.

- Hi - you cannot simply change the numbers without changing the underlying citations. The numbers you are changing are supported by citations, to change the numbers and leave the existing citations is simply incorrect. Onel5969 TT me 11:51, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
