Your submission at Articles for creation: SNEAKO (Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy) (March 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of these sources are unreliable or just mentions. I can also say that Twitter and Rumble will never be considered a reliable source when it comes to showing notability of someone.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:SNEAKO (Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sneako (March 4)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The following are not reliable sources: Sportskeeda, We Got This Covered, Social Blade, AllFamous.org, TG Time, EarlyGame, Net Worth Spot, Know Your Meme, Dexerto, IMBD. The "controversies" section (which should be removed per WP:CSECTION) has many unsourced or poorly sourced claims. The entire Ventures section is promotional, and largely sourced to primary sources. We do not care that the duo working on a new merch drop or that Their slogan is to "Stop scrolling and Start monetizing".

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sneako (March 8)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The sourcing seems to have improved a bit, but quite a lot of the information is not sourced, and most of the existing sources are primary/non-independent, passing mentions, or sources such as SportsRush and insidesports.in, which are odd choices for a BLP about a non-athlete.

Wikipedia should not make claims about the number of views or subscribers, unless reliable, independent, secondary sources have discussed the numbers.

There is still some weasel wording, scare quotes, etc.

Okay, thank you. Can you tell me exactly which citations aren't suitable so I know what to get rid of? I don't want to get rid of anything unnecessarily. Also, what is "weasel wording" and "scare quotes"? Can you please elaborate? TheDonquavious (talk) 15:34, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind that last part. I read the "Words to Watch" section on Wikipedia and I understand that now. If possible, I would still like to know about the citations. TheDonquavious (talk) 17:24, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sneako (March 10)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Please don't resubmit until you've fixed the sourcing and tone issues in the draft. Removing all of the unreliable or spam sources will make it easier for future reviewers. I'd start by removing WP:MEDIUM, any press releases, bios on official websites, mubi.com, etc. Sources which only mention Sneako in passing should also be removed along with any uncited info. Thanks!

BuySomeApples (talk) 06:10, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @BuySomeApples, I've resubmitted the article after making several changes. A majority of the sources are considered "Generally reliable" or "No consensus," on Wikipedia's Reliable sources chart. The tone is also objectively neutral as far as I'm aware, including the absence of peacock terms, but please give me specific examples if you believe otherwise. Also, there are no unsourced claims. TheDonquavious (talk) 13:41, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cleaning up the sources somewhat, but every sentence or paragraph needs a ref btw. Since you resubmitted, I'll leave it to the next reviewer to assess the page. BuySomeApples (talk) 01:38, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Matan Even (March 10)

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

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at The Game Awards 2022#Stage interruption. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Per WP:1EVENT, I don't believe it rises to the level of requiring a standalone page. If it does, said page should probably be located at The Game Awards 2022 stage interruption, not here. 1EVENT states, "Generally in this case, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident, especially if the individual is only notable for that incident"

Hello @Zxcvbnm, an article by The Hi-Times covers it on January 10, 2023, so this should qualify as significant coverage past the event. I've added the article as a citation. TheDonquavious (talk) 14:32, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I replied to your message on my talk page. While I don't think that is enough, I have mentioned a source that could be enough for you to add to the page, so see about doing that and removing any redundant sources. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:22, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sneako (March 11)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Slywriter was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Sourcing is mediocre. Much of them outright unreliable and what's not is not really BLP reliable nor cover the subject in-depth. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED

If the creator has WP:THREE independent reliable sources that discuss in-depth and show the subject meets Wikipedia definition of notability, creator can leave a note on my talk pages with them.

Otherwise, the lengthy discussion at WP:TEA and a review of the sources as they stand show further work on this draft will be a waste of the creator's and reviewer's time.

Advice regarding the lead sections of articles

I recommend familiarizing yourself with Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section - the lead section does not necessarily contain references, they are to be be sought in the body of the article in many cases. Make sure to check that before engaging in removal in the future, to avoid problems such as your recent edit to the Yam article which seemingly did not take that into account.
