User talk:Silverdashmax

Welcome!

Hello, Silverdashmax, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Niko Omilana, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Niko Omilana

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Niko Omilana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://sidemen.fandom.com/wiki/Niko_Omilana. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. 1AmNobody24 (talk) 19:12, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The page has not been deleted, but please see the note below about attribution. -- Whpq (talk) 19:28, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Draft:Niko Omilana. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 19:27, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice I'll keep it in mind for future. Silverdashmax (talk) 21:18, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Niko Omilana

Notability isn't established by saying that he did stuff, it's established by showing that he passes WP:GNG on a significant volume and depth of reliable source coverage and analysis about the stuff he did in media independent of himself. That is, you don't make a person notable as a YouTuber by sourcing his YouTube videos to themselves or their IMDb profiles as proof that they exist, you make a person notable as a YouTuber by sourcing his YouTube videos to media coverage about the videos as proof that they garnered media coverage. You don't make a person notable for being featured in other people's YouTube videos by sourcing those videos to themselves as verification that the videos exist, you make a person notable for being featured in other people's YouTube videos by sourcing those videos to evidence that media consider "Niko Omilana featured in Sidemen videos" to be important enough to write about and analyze as news.

What you haven't shown is any evidence of GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about Niko Omilana. Out of 35 footnotes, the overwhelming majority of them are primary sources (YouTube video sourced to itself or IMDB, "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of organizations he's directly affiliated with, etc.) or unreliable sources (CORQ, Social Blade) that don't contribute any GNG points at all, and what's left for proper GNG-worthy media coverage still isn't doing very much: there are media sources that don't mention Omilana at all and are there solely to verify a fact that's completely tangential to the question of whether Omilana is notable or not, there are sources that briefly mention Omilana's name without being about him in any meaningful sense, and there are sources that are "about" him in the context of his candidacy in an election he didn't win and thus doesn't pass WP:NPOL for. But what you haven't shown is any evidence of GNG-building media coverage in properly reliable sources about his YouTube work, which is what you would have to show to make him notable as a YouTuber. Again, the notability test is not "his YouTube work exists", it's "media have written independent third-party content about his YouTube work as independent third-party analysis of its significance", and you haven't shown any evidence of that.

Also, the draft has not been proposed for deletion at all, and certainly not by me — all I did was comment on the draft. So you respond to this not by arguing with me on my talk page, but by improving the draft with GNG-worthy sources. Bearcat (talk) 12:53, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not once have I tried to argue with you. In my message to you on your talk page, I simply said what has changed since February to make recreation of a new article warranted as asked for in your comment. Additionally in my message I elaborate by saying "Whilst the draft still needs expansion before being submitted, the draft shouldn't be deleted." Letting you know that I understand additional sources are still needed. In regards to the draft being proposed for deletion, it was proposed here, not by you, but the last line is still false. Silverdashmax (talk) 19:44, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That proposal was in March, and failed, meaning it isn't still on the table. Bearcat (talk) 12:56, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, List of prime ministers of the United Kingdom by education/Universities

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, List of prime ministers of the United Kingdom by education/Universities. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – List of prime ministers of the United Kingdom by education. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at List of prime ministers of the United Kingdom by education. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Fram (talk) 15:21, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Draft:OFFBRAND

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page Draft:OFFBRAND has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
