Welcome![edit]

Hello, Lydiajk, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Lydiajk, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Under My Skin (2020 film)[edit]

Hi Lydiajk. I noticed your recent edit to Under My Skin (2020 film). You added a large number of external links within the body text, which is against guidelines at WP:EL. In particular, linking to IMDb like that is not allowed for reasons explained at WT:WikiProject Film/Archive 79#Masking imdb links as wikilinks. Sources should just be referred to via standard citations and I have removed the links. Regards. Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:06, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michael, thank you for the clarification. 2603:8000:A703:FC9F:5CD9:8384:F066:6077 (talk) 20:47, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

David O'Donnell (disambiguation) moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, David O'Donnell (disambiguation), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: David O'Donnell (September 18)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by GMH Melbourne was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Have a look at WP:GNG for the sources that we look for when accepting an article. Many of the sources here are either primary (ie. interviews) or unreliable sources. Also ensure Significant coverage is present (rather than trivial mentions). For Director notability guidelines see WP:DIRECTOR. I suggest before resubmitting, try get around three sources in that meet WP:GNG

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:David O'Donnell and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hi GMH, appreciate your message. I absolutely understand that wikipedia is not (and should not be) used for promotion, publicity or advertising. The information provided is completely objective and backed up with verifiable sources.The purpose of this submission is simply to collate already existing information on the web about a filmmaker into one place, and keep in step with the online footprint of press etc that already appears when searched. David O'Donnell's films already have wiki pages, along with the affiliated production companies and actors. Kindly consider the above before rejecting this submission.
