Hi , My article " VINEETH MANUEL C " submission was declined. Can you help me to submit the article in the correct format.

Regards, Sonia

I have deleted two unacceptable "external links" from the draft, and converted a third to a properly-cited citation. I hope you will try to do the same for the rest of your "external links". Maproom (talk) 19:20, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am wondering how my subject "Reginald Hodges" does not meet notability guidelines? What actions can I take for this article to be accepted?

I looked at the first six of the 32 references you have provided. They all confirm that Hodges exists, but none of them really shows that he is notable. I haven't bothered checking the rest (and it wouldn't surprise me if a reviewer also didn't bother). So if there are good references in there, I suggest you delete the others, and make it easier for a reviewer to find them. But if you can't find anything better than those first six, then I'm afraid he just isn't notable. This isn't your fault, it's just how things are: you have clearly done what you can.

I am at a loss to know what to do next. I am a volunteer providing website and computer support to a very small, cash poor registered non-profit in Toronto. I've worked hard to help get their website to a point where the volunteer Board of Directors is very happy (www.ourplacecommunityofhope.com).

I thought added a Wikipedia reference would not be difficult. I've done it before.

I've added as many references as I could think of that legitimizes the existence of this charity/non-profit.

It has been serving the homeless adult community in Toronto for over 46 years.

Could you provide something specific I still need to do?

You haven't told us what draft, or whatever it is, you are referring to. But it's not the subject's existence you need to establish, but its notability. Maproom (talk) 19:35, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
