"No new sources to support the edit."

Hello. I was curious as to why the edit on Shroud (gamer) was reverted, because currently it says "he was born in Toronto, Canada" (there is no source saying that). However, the edit suggests that instead of mentioning the city it would be best to mention the REGION instead (Ontario encompasses BOTH Toronto AND Mississauga), since he attended a school in Mississauga - which is sourced instead of Toronto. Please let me know your reasoning, I'd love to hear back ! Also I'd love to see a source stating he was born in Toronto, since that is the edit you have reverted

Thank you !! =) Warmtoned (talk) 16:31, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

@Warmtoned: Hello and thank you for your message. The edit was reverted because it altered existing information about a living person without providing proper sources. As per Wikipedia's Biographies of Living Persons (WP:BLP) policy to which the article is subject to, existing content about living individuals, even if unsourced, should not be replaced or significantly altered without reliable citations. Replacing one unverified claim with another, even if it seems plausible, does not meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability.

If you have a reliable source supporting the change, you are welcome to attempt the edit, ensuring that the new information complies with Wikipedia's guidelines. If no source supports the current statement, the correct course of action would be to mark it for removal or discuss it on the article's talk page as per WP:BRD and reach a broad consensus.

New Article Review

Hey QEnigna, i create a article about young cricket Draft:Wasi Sddiquee he is already played 3 formet on cricket he already played for list A Cricket First class cricket, and many article are available with this ceatogry. Abdur Rahim (cricketer) Hamidul Islam lot of cricketer are available on Wikipedia with same category. Noah Nil (talk) 13:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Noah Nil: Hello, Your draft article (Draft:Wasi Sddiquee) was declined primarily because it does not adhere to the formal and encyclopaedic tone required for Wikipedia articles. Additionally, the subject does not meet the notability criteria outlined in WP:CRIN and WP:OFFCRIC. Please review these guidelines to understand which domestic tournaments are considered notable.

As per above, the domestic tournaments mentioned in your article, despite being classified as First-class or List A cricket, do not meet the required standards for notability and WP:GNG criteria. Furthermore, the draft lacks sufficient WP:RS and WP:IS sources to satisfy WP:V. While ESPNcricinfo is considered a reliable source, the references provided in your draft consist solely of statistics and scorecards.

Please revise the article with these points in mind and ensure that it meets Wikipedia’s notability and sourcing standards before resubmitting. Best regards. QEnigma talk 14:58, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Noah Nil: In addition, I must express disappointment regarding your decision ([1] / [2]) to delete my comments and reasons for declining your submission on 28 December 2024. Please refrain from such actions in the future. QEnigma talk 12:28, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I noticed that you tagged Draft:Bashir Muhammad Hussari Galadanchi for speedy deletion. I have removed the tag from the page because it does not meet the criterion or criteria specified. Please fully read Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion before tagging pages for speedy deletion. Thank you. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:30, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

@Rsjaffe: Your comments have been noted. Thank you. QEnigma talk 02:39, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Just a quick note that you probably shouldn't MFD drafts unless there's extraordinary circumstances. Most declined drafts are automatically deleted after 6 months of no edits via WP:G13. That's the normal way that these are handled. Hope this helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 11:14, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

@Novem Linguae: Thank you for your advice and comments. They have been noted and are much appreciated. QEnigma talk 11:48, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

@Novem Linguae: Hello, I would like to draw your attention to the draft article Draft:Ahmed Jaha, created on 7 January 2025, and the mainspace article Ahmadu Usman Jaha, created on 27 December 2024. Both articles refer to the same individual. I have already declined the submission of the draft article. Could you kindly advise on the appropriate action to take in this instance? Should the draft be nominated for CSD or XfD or left alone? Best regards. QEnigma talk 13:02, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey QEnigma. Thanks for the question. In these cases I like to redirect the draft to the mainspace article, to discourage folks from working on the draft, which would just be wasted work since there is already a mainspace article. You can redirect the draft by editing the wikicode and replacing the entire page with #REDIRECT [[Ahmed Jaha]]. Hope that helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:09, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

@Novem Linguae: I appreciate your input. Thank you. QEnigma talk 13:15, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
