Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Blue Cooper

I do not understand why Blue Cooper's article will not be published. Cooper is currently a free agent for the NFL. He signed as a free agent in 2010. Erego, he was a member of the preseason team which is stated. Cooper is in all of The University of Tennessee Chattanooga's Records and as a member of the university's booster club I am inclined to inform you he is currently in the process of being inducted into the schools Hall of Fame. With this stated it is important to have Mr. Cooper's achievements accessible in a number of places including wikipedia. This will better validate his credibility. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UTCDavidson (talk • contribs) 01:31, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry but promoting Mr. Cooper's "credibility" is of absolutely no interest to Wikipedia whatsoever - please see WP:PROMO. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:01, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

For NFL Players, if they're on the team's roster during the season, they're considered notable. Simply being on the pre-season roster is not considered notable. If you could show his college career was notable, then he could be considered notable too. LionMans Account (talk) 13:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Plum Amazing

Hi, I want help to resubmit a deleted article named Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Plum Amazing. I want to make it more notable as how wikipedia wants. It was deleted by Nathan2055 and I want your help to make it live. I want to know which parts require to improve of my written article. Please advice.

Thanks, Arifhasan23 (talk) 15:51, 2 June 2013 (UTC) ArifHasan23

One thing you can do (let's take it one thing at a time) is to condense the lead section to contain only essential information, so that readers who read the lead will immediately know what Plum Amazing is, and why it is notable (both criteria must be met). And then you can go on and include the rest of the information in the body, dividing it into appropriate sections and not all clumped up in one paragraph. I must admit that the comments here were not as constructive as they can be, but it is understandable given the fact that there is a lot of things wrong with this submission. Please see some featured articles of companies to see the level of quality Wikipedians are looking for. Also note that the submission was not deleted, simply declined.

My article was declined. I would like to raise an objection.

Hello,

I created an article on Rachel Armstrong. It was declined on review by Oren Bochman. And the primary reason for his decline, as far a I can tell was; "This submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability."

I believe that this reviewer made a subjective decision rather than an objective one. I compare my subject, Rachel Armstrong, with a page he created, Dvora Bochman, and I find that the notability of Rachel Armstrong appears to me to be far greater than that of Dvora Bochman.

I would like for someone to review my submission and tell me why the Dvora Bochman article is acceptable and my Rachel Armstrong article is not.

I would also like to know how I can improve the article in specifics with regard to what is currently there, and also how to resubmit the article for review to another reviewer.

Thank you. Noel Akins Nakins (talk) 18:35, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Many of the references used in your draft article do not seem to be independent - for example, material provided by her university or herself. Interviews with her are also less useful for proving notability than proper third party material that has significant coverage of her.

If you're using another article as an example to work from, it's best to use a Good Article as a model, rather than just any article. Good articles can be found at WP:GA.

After making changes, you can resubmit the article to be reviewed again by adding {{subst:submit}} to the top of it. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:05, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Daniel Brusilovsky - submission rejected because of prior AfD?

why didn't this page got accepted? http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Daniel_Brusilovsky

This is quite annoying cause I did all the changes requested by the folks in the live chat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valefebvre (talk • contribs) 18:36, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Because previous articles about the same person had serious problems an administrative block has been placed on the title - this will have to be lifted before the article can be moved - please be patient. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:21, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

What is the status of my article?

Hello, I submitted my draft but have not gotten any information as to whether it was declined or accepted. Also, there is no indication whether it is still waiting review.I was wondering why this is happening? Thank you.Ninisol1993 (talk) 18:38, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

The article linked is currently waiting to be reviewed. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:00, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict) It has neither been declined, or accepted and is in the queue waiting to be reviewed.

The big yellow box indicates that is still waiting review.

It's happening because we have a backlog of about 12 days at the moment and you only submitted it today. Please be patient and it will be reviewed in due course. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 19:02, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
