Why my Request has Declined even i add all news References for my article why its happened?

Accepted the draft is, however, borderline at best. I have taken a gamble and accepted it. Please continue to improve it, for it does risk being nominated for deletion. It requires stronger referencing. For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources.

Request on 06:02:47, 30 July 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Oconna78[edit]


I have submitted my article 'FRIMO' to be reviewed many times but it keeps getting denied due to not having "reliable sources." I have included government documentation, independent newspaper articles, and information from a book (which cannot be found online). How are these not reliable, and what else should I add?

Generally "Government Documentation" is regarded as a primary source. WP:PRIMARY allows for these in restricted circumstances, so that ought not to be it. Paywalls and outdated plugs simply make verification of references difficult. If those were the final hurdle (and I have not checked) then it seems to me that acceptance is the route, relying on the community to sort any problems out later. A useful route forward is either for one of us to take the decision to accept the draft, or for you to have a discussion with the most recent declining reviewers to discover with precision what they need to happen. Or, indeed, both!
Since I have reviewed it in the past (or left a substantial review comment) I will not be reviewing it again. I am standing too close to it to be impartial. Fiddle Faddle 07:31, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot see what exactly is wrong. Please specify.

@Bjanson: Nor can I, but academics are not my forte. I am pinging DGG who is rather good at these matters in the hope of their time and help. Fiddle Faddle 07:27, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove my name period. I don't want to see my name on this site ever. I have a show at the Salvador Dali museum and then the Tate in London and the Guggenheim and your talking about verification. Okay Many blessing to you and your family always. Marcgdoutherd (talk) 06:46, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please place {{Db-author}} on any pages you have created that you wish to be deleted.
It's very strange. You wanted an autobiography here, presumably to advertise yourself, and then decide that you will not provide verification. Instead you play the "Do you know who I am!" card.
What you need to understand is that you have no control over a future article on you, assuming you pass our inclusion criteria. Fiddle Faddle 07:10, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

08:58:11, 30 July 2015 review of submission by Anubis2013[edit]

The article was declined because of missing citation and footnotes - but I thought, I've made footnotes - what exactly was wrong??? Anubis2013 (talk) 08:58, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

10:39:10, 30 July 2015 review of submission by 93.157.79.30[edit]


Hi, thanks for information. When I've send You this text for revision there was the part Scuplture and Painting, now I can't find it. You rejected it or is any other draft version? Regards 93.157.79.30 (talk) 10:39, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the "Sculpture" section, as it made no mention of the subject, and so appeared irrelevant to the article. You can restore it yourself; or if you don't know how, ask here, and I'll restore it for you. If you want to retain this section, you should edit it to show how it relates to the subject.

Request on 16:15:33, 30 July 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Katsheron[edit]


Hi. I did a further edit July 28 or 29. Please tell me what more I need to do to get this article published on Wikipedia. I have taken out all statements that may be construed as "opinion" and left only the bare facts, which are verifiable by the references that I have provided.

Katsheron (talk) 16:15, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As it says, twice, at the top of the draft, you need to add in-line citations that establish that the subject is notable. Maproom (talk) 19:32, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

20:24:02, 30 July 2015 review of submission by 2A02:A312:C200:BF80:1D1:A8EA:DF73:E5EA[edit]


Dear wikipedia help desk,

The article was declined for publication due to: "read more like an advertisement" and "[Must] refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources"


The data in this article was based what contains other company articles such as TuneIn or ChannelAdvisor for example. The article is having 7 published sources on which 5 are articles from various sources such as online media, institutions and politics.

May you please list what specifically needs to be amended / adjusted?

Kind regards,

2A02:A312:C200:BF80:1D1:A8EA:DF73:E5EA (talk) 20:24, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
