00:36:05, 14 September 2015 review of submission by Maykiwi[edit]
In the draft, below the "External Links" the "References" list appears again. How can the repetition be deleted? I looked everywhere and found no solution.Maykiwi (talk) 00:36, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

- @Maykiwi:
Done The formatting has been fixed in the draft. When the references are embedded in the body of the text, they will appear automatically in the Reflist. There's no need to list them again in the references section. Doing so is what causes the second references list at the bottom. Worldbruce (talk) 06:11, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

I have fixed the citations formatting (I think), which should show the sources better but still am unsure as to how to display the sources cited as notable for review (they are major national newspapers in the respective countries). The original spanish only wikipedia entry also has other sources but they are from printed materials which I have no way to locally (US) verify. Also, a number of sources listed from other printed material I have access to are for US museums or organizations that no longer exist. I was going to translate the spanish entry, but unsure if that's the proper procedure when the sources are more easily verifiable in libraries in Europe and not the US. Thanks.

- @Pasanf: For sources that you can't find online or locally, I highly recommend Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request. Volunteers there will do their best to locate and scan any source you need. Worldbruce (talk) 06:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Worldbruce: Thanks I'll follow up through that resource and see if I can help expand this entry further that way. In the meantime the fixes I made were enough to get the initial article approved. Pasanf (talk) 06:33, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello! I would just like to know what exactly is the main problem with the said article, is it the lack of notability or is the main source I cited not accepted or do I need more sources? I also included a secondary source in which displays all his discography, just that it is in Korean so I chose to go with the other one; can I just remove the source that is not acceptable? I would also like to bring to your attention this article,Yoon Hyun-Sang. Why is this accepted as compared to mine? EquilLoL (talk) 04:46, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- @EquilLoL:The draft cites two postings on Soompi (by the same person), one on Daum, and the musician's own website. Examining these and checking previous discussions on the reliable sources noticeboard leaves unclear the reliability of Soompi and Daum. If the subject were notable, I would expect to see more written about him, and in indisputably reliable sources. If these are translations of reliable Korean news reports, I would like to see citations of those reports (non-English sources are fine as a matter of policy), and the Soompi/Daum translations included only as redundant sources.
- Thank you for drawing attention to Yoon Hyun-sang. It is an article in need of improvement. Wikipedia is forever a work in progress; it contains high quality and low quality content. Don't use the existence of poorly sourced content as an argument for creating additional inadequately sourced content. See the essays "Other stuff exists" and "Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions" for further explanation.
- By the way, there appears to be a typo in the draft, which says he had his musical debut the year after he was born. Possible, I suppose, but unlikely. Worldbruce (talk) 07:34, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

I would like to create a page about myself to allow present and future clients the abililty to gain my personal information about myself as well as my company. How do I go about this?
