Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Khanqah[edit]
My article rejected. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Khanqah
Possible to do a write up for www.abilkhair.org which is located at 426 Siglap Road Singapore? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam1khan1 (talk • contribs) 00:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- That may be possible, but you should clarify that you're writing an article about a specific khanaq, and you will have to show that this specific khanaq has received significant coverage in reliable independent sources such as articles in newspapers or reputable magazines.

Do forgive me if this is the incorrect area to ask for assistance. I am an amateur regarding the creation of Wikipedia articles, and I discovered my submission for British war artist John Worsley rejected owed to a lack of references. I have created a section listing all the publications Mr. Worsley illustrated during his lifetime. The list of illustrated titles is complete, to the best of my knowledge, and would constitute the only reference of its type online. I understand the need to provide references, although I do not understand the full extent of this request. For most titles I provide an ISBN, if available, which a plethora of catalogues would verify the illustrator; however, early out-of-print titles do not contain such details, and one must reference notes from online antique book sellers; moreover, the earliest material does not credit the illustrator at all, and one must have knowledge of the illustrators work, and history to verify.
I own a large selection of plates by Mr. Worsley, encompassing a familiarity of his style, and history. Although Mr Worsley’s paintings hang in prominent British institutions, he begins to fade into obscurity, with few articles exploring his history, paintings, and works, post his death in 2000. Interested parties can research the listed early titles via online antique book sellers, and those familiar with Mr. Worsley, his style, interests, and history, would immediately recognise these titles; nevertheless, there is no online repository that can identify every volume. Naturally, I can delete the complete “Selected Works” section, and the article becomes an adjunct to other articles on Wikipedia centred on Mr. Worsley’s work, such as Albert RN.
I would appreciate any advice offered, and will amend the article as recommended, and to the extent of my ability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danger Woman (talk • contribs) 14:47, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- I have accepted the article with a few minor changes. The discussion about whether the list of works should be trimmed, can continue on the article talk page. I would note that references do not need to be online in order to be acceptable. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 15:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
My name is Richard Alveranga. I am the creator of Beta Phi Pi Fraternity Incorporated. To my understanding, it was nominated for deletion. Due to the fact that I'm waiting for the proper references to add with this page to be verified, I am unable to publish it yet.
May this please be considered for Userfication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richardalveranga (talk • contribs) 15:11, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- It hasn't been nominated for deletion formally, but as a stale draft it was at risk of deletion. I have made an edit to prevent that. It doesn't need userfication - just work on it to add references etc and when you are ready to submit it for review, please follow the instructions in the box at the top of the draft.--ukexpat (talk) 18:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- It is safe where it is now - as long as you do not leave it unedited for 6 months. I found no current evidence of possible deletion. When you've added references you can simply hit the green submit button. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:48, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I need help in finishing my article on Kellie Torrey. I have revamped the article and it was rejected. She has been a model and acted in the past. Please give me some advise how to publish this article. Thank you. Davisj1359 (talk) 18:31, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think you have sufficiently addressed the last reviewer's concerns: There are still multiple sections that cite no sources whatsoever. Furthermore, many of the given sources are not independent or don't provide significant coverage of Torrey; such sources should not form the sole basis of large amounts of content. See WP:WEIGHT for details. Huon (talk) 01:10, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
