I have been struggling to get it done 197.156.107.175 (talk) 08:23, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The draft has been rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. There is no more that can be done; no amount of editing can confer notability on a topic. 331dot (talk) 08:33, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

08:44, 11 October 2023 review of submission by Therealmuller

[edit]

I am confused on why this article is not approved. It is neutral, and it is valuable information like an encyclopedia. The last comment I got was unhelpful and curt stating merely that there is no chance this would be published. I am trying to contribute here. Therealmuller (talk) 08:44, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not for merely providing information. Your draft was written as an essay of original research, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. Wikipedia article summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. 331dot (talk) 08:52, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I am not quite sure, how I can improve the references? This Wiki page is for an independent organization which rely on funding. Please advise. Mlr91 (talk) 10:17, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mlr91: the references are all to the organisation's own website. We're not interested in what the organisation says about themselves. We need to see what others (as in, independent and reliable secondary sources) have said. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:43, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This is my first submission, and I'm trying to figure out how to put additional information in a box underneath the photo on the right. It would contain a brief list about the subject including occupation, genres, awards. Thanks for your help! GonetotheDawgs (talk) 13:53, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @GonetotheDawgs. I think you want an infobox! I'd recommend using the WP:VISUALEDITOR which will allow you to generate an infobox easily. Click the + symbol, then Template and then try using Infobox person. You can then select various fields.

Note that having or not having an infobox will have no effect on whether or not the draft is accepted. Far more useful will be to improve the referencing: see WP:REFB for how to format them better, and note that very little should be referenced from her own website, as Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources.

16:46, 11 October 2023 review of submission by 148.77.46.178

[edit]

Hi. This page for Kevin Anton was declined. The trailer for his latest movie came out today and he is listed in the cast in many of the articles from MSN to Yahoo. He is also listed as a member of the cast on the Iron Claw Movie Wiki page and one of the only few on the list without a live link to his own WIki page. Can you recommend any edits that will get this page approved? Any help greatly appreciated!! Thank you! 148.77.46.178 (talk) 16:46, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Being listed in the credits isn't what establishes notability. You would need to show that the subject satisfies either the WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR notability guideline. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:49, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We don't have pages here, we have articles. His roles seem to be very minor and it will be difficult for you to show that he meets WP:NACTOR. 331dot (talk) 16:50, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SkillsNoLogic: I'm sorry to say, your so-called question makes no more sense than your so-called article draft. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:07, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
