17:55:01, 15 July 2017 review of submission by Larsconks

[edit]


I need help finding reliable sources for Draft:Varhess, New Jarso. If the ones that I'm using aren't reliable, then I need some help.

@Larksconks: As far as I can see you don't have any sources? If you look at the majority of Wikipedia articles, and all biographies of living people on Wikipedia, they all cite sources. You can do this by placing this: <ref>Link to website/name of book/other citation template</ref> next to the claim you want to source. A guide is available at Wp:Referencing for beginners, alternatively if you click on this link, it takes you to Visual Editor, a Microsoft Word style editor that allows you to easily add formatted references. jcc (tea and biscuits) 20:42, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Larksconks I did a google search, and I was not able to find any reliable sources that so much as mentioned this show. I fear that it simply is not notable. See WP:OVERCOME, and Wikipedia's Golden Rule. Unless you can find sources about the show that are independent of the show, and are what Wikipedia considers to be reliable sources, this draft is simply not going to be approved.

BenjaminHeckhoff (talk) 18:51, 15 July 2017 (UTC) Why my submission is not being accept[reply]

If this is about User:BenjaminHeckhoff/sandbox, BenjaminHeckhoff, the draft is not being accepted because it does not (yet) cite any sources, nor indicate why the subject is notable. Please read Wikipedia's Golden Rule and Your First Article. You need to find, and cite multiple independent published reliable sources that discuss the subject in some detail for there to be any chance of acceptance. Moreover, this is an autobiography which is strongly discouraged, and at the moment it looks rather promotional. You would need to be able to write in neutrally[, which is very hard when writing about oneself. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 01:23, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
