February 21[edit]

Why was my article rejected? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daltonsdad (talkcontribs) 02:26, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Please provide the name of your article draft when you ask a question here. I have added it for you this time, but please keep this in mind.
Your article was declined for the reasons given in the notice at the top of the draft. In short, you have not shown notability of the subject. Generally, this means that articles must cite a variety of reliable sources of information that are independent of the subject. (See the general notability guideline and the specific guideline for people, which you can use instead of the general one).
If you need help citing sources, you can consult the introduction to referencing (a quick tutorial) or referencing for beginners (more detailed information). Anon126 (talk - contribs) 04:27, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I was told that I needed to create a new article of the current incarnation of Black Lab Linux instead of appending at the bottom of the legacy PowerPC based Linux distribution from 1999. I was told once it was finished to make sure that I contact an editor to make sure it qualifies. Ldavidson121975 (talk) 02:36, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that submission is currently awaiting review, which could take a very long time (perhaps a month). It looks like you only have one independent source in the article, so you may wish to add more to make sure that the notability of the product is clearly established.

  1. REDIRECT Josep Tapiró Baró
A redirect to Josep Tapiró Baró already exists at Josep Tapiró i Baró so there is nothing further to do here. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way to speed up the review process to get my article on Maura Healey published? I want to expedite the review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Maura Healey if there is anyway to do that or make it stand out please let me know

No, Wikipedia has no interest in being used in election campaigns and deadline dates. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:22, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
