Hi Maxkostenko. If a reviewer were to accept the draft, they would assign an appropriate title at that time. Because Wikipedia articles only cover notable topics—those that have gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, as evidenced by significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources, there is no realistic chance that the draft will be accepted for publication. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:40, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


My apologies for misunderstanding what is expected when posting an article on Wiki. I am having difficulty in understand your guidelines in submitting an article. I have attempted to properly describe what the core foundations are without it being biased. What parts should I change which will help that not to sound like such? Also, I was told that I need polished sources to cite from. What if the organization is fairly new and has a few external interviews but not a lot which can back up the facts which need to be stated about the organization? Please help me to properly do this as I feel people should be aware of our organization and what it consists of.

Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter. Please know that I am really new at this sort of thing.

Hi Swollards7775. Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, as evidenced by significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Student sources may be discounted because of their narrow audience and because student journalists are by definition still learning their trade. If the organization is too new to have been widely covered in more mainstream outlets, then it is not yet a suitable topic for the encyclopedia. This is not the place to "get the word out" about anything, so your motive in writing the draft is at odds with the purpose of Wikipedia. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

but i dont understand why mine article was decline i am producer of this album mine site is amit02.com

please tell me what to remove from article i will do that thanks

Hi Amitagarwal3000. Wikipedia is not a directory of every album in existence. Articles cover notable albums—those that have gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, as evidenced by significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. If the album is not notable, no amount of editing Draft:Amitagarwal3000 will make it acceptable.
As the producer of the album you have a conflict of interest when writing about it, so it is a bad idea for you to continue with the draft. Wikipedia is not for advertising, promotion, or public relations. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:59, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to add an article for a James Taylor concert DVD, but it is getting rejected for lack of citations. The article simply provides track information and a summary of the description printed on the DVD case. I tried citing the DVD but it still got rejected. What do I need to do?

Clofback (talk) 18:46, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Clofback. Thanks for getting involved as an editor. See WP:NALBUM for an explanation of why a draft consisting only of information copied from the DVD and packaging will not be accepted as a stand alone article, and of what sort of independent coverage would be required for acceptance. Wikipedia: WikiProject Albums may be able to suggest sources.
Creating a new article is one of the most difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating things to attempt on Wikipedia. There are many easier and more productive ways to contribute. You can find suggestions from WikiProjects that align with your interests, or at Wikipedia:Community portal. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:45, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
