If you're looking to create a new article, I recommend the WP:Article wizard, which takes you through the process step by step. Or, if you want another editor to create it for you, try WP:Requested articles, but that can be a slow process. Howicus (talk) 15:51, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Flexenclosure

Hi -my entry was rejected, but not quite sure why. Can you tell me the copyright issues involved and what I need to do to address them?

Thanks.

Best wishes

There doesn't appear to be a copyright issue with that page. The article was rejected because Flexenclosure did not seem to be notable enough. The relevant guideline is WP:CORP. I think the draft was rejected because the sources either seem unreliable or only mention Flexenclosure in passing. Oh, and by the way, press releases aren't good sources for notability because they were written by the company. Howicus (talk) 15:51, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To write a new article, have a look at the Article Wizard. For a general introduction to editing Wikipedia you may want to have a look at the tutorial. Huon (talk) 18:56, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have been trying for months to create a page for Countess Marjorie de Aguirre. My submissions have been rejected now on numerous occasions, either for "not notable" or lack of references. Marjorie de Aguiree was more than notable (and more so than many people who have wiki entries), and I have referenced a good deal of her life and her activities through newspaper articles and other legitimate sources.

What more needs to be done to get the page approved? Thanks.

If she was notable, these sources don't show it. Several are primary sources. Others are mere celebrity gossip. Significant parts of the draft, including most of her espionage work, don't cite any sources at all. Huon (talk) 18:56, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
